"Good luck Swifty!"
"I know you can do it!"
"Oscar's so going to totally kick your ass!"
Swifty hardly acknowledged the crowd's support and Sarah's diss. Only natural...Sarah and Oscar were dating...he would do the same for Snoddy...
The thought of Snoddy brought white fury to the back of his eyes. What gave him the right to even THINK what he had said? How stupid could he be...in love...Ha HIS WAS LOVE NOT WHAT HE THOUGHT...
"Runners to your starting positions...we will begin in five minutes...five minutes..."
That was cue for Swifty's heart to start pounding and his forehead to break out in a hot sweat as nervous anticipation clutched his stomach.
Too bad he was too MAD to feel that.
He gave one final stretch before getting up to walk to the starting line of his 200 m race. The one that would give him a chance at getting into the Olympic finals. The one that could get him to the Olympics. The one that could make all of his training and fifteen years of dedication worth something.
Too bad he didn't care.
"Hey SLOWy! Hey hey, you're never gonna...gonna BEAT me."
Swifty rolled his eyes as he stepped into his spot. Oscar Delancey, the dumbest human who had ever evolved from a slug, took his place next to him.
"That's a cute nickname Oscar, did Sarah help you with it?"
"Actually she DID."
Swifty just rolled his eyes again and tried to get his mind focused on the race he had to win...though it was wandering elsewhere.
"On your marks!"
What does it matter if I win or lose
"Get set!"
What kind of life would it be
"GO!"
Swifty flew.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He ran, faster and faster down the streets, one goal on his mind, the only one that mattered. The thought of him made his legs pump harder so he swore he feet hardly touched the ground. What if he had lost him forever? What if he was so mad by what he had said to him he wouldn't even talk to him? Look at him? Forever...
The thought made him run faster, passing people with blurred faces, faces which didn't matter, colors that his eyes hurt. Memories swept into his mind, seven years of friendship, seven years of insanity and understanding...how could he have been so stupid to put that all on the line?!
A burst of speed he didn't know he had brought him feet away from his goal. He could see it, but would he win?
"SWIFTY!!"
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Swifty, currently in first, had fallen as Snoddy ran to the race. Embarrassment washed over him as the crowd of screaming people became a mass of shadows. How could he have TRIPPED? Over AIR? That was ITEY'S damn job! Was there even a point in getting up now...did it even matter...He looked in back of him just in time to see Oscar run by followed closely by the three other runners. Well there was no hope now.
"SWIFTY!!"
He looked into the crowd and his heart clenched. Snoddy was there. Snoddy was...
"What're you doing sleeping Swifty?!" he yelled from the crowd, his incrediably loud voice rising above the crowd's lame cheers. "KICK OSCARS ASS TO THE GROUND."
Snoddy was there. Snoddy wanted him to win. Must. Win. For. Snoddy.
And with an energy he didn't know existed within human bodies, he got up and ran.
Passed the fourth runner...passed the third and second...he could hear the crowd as though they were screaming slowly from underwater, could hear his heart pound in his chest, feel the ground slip from his feet.
He was strangley aware that Oscar was right next to him but that didn't matter... he could see the finish line, feel his muscles screaming, feel the sharp air going down his lungs, hear his breath, hear Oscar's breathing, almost there, almost there...
"I LOVE YOU!"
Well if that couldn't do it what the hell could?
Swifty crossed the finish line fractions of a second before Oscar did. He found it hard to stop and continued to run, only to stop to jump up and down in place. He was vaguely aware of how stupid he looked but didn't care- I HAD WON HE HAD WON HE HAD
"I am standing here with the winner of the finalist for track to go on to compete for a place on the United States Olympic team, Chad "Swifty" Lee-"
"-And a remarkable turn around for young American runner Chad "Swifty"-"
"-Beating long rival Oscar "Air" Delancey-"
"How do you feel?"
"Are you overjoyed?"
Swifty answered all the questions to the best of his ability, though he had no idea what he was saying. He was searching the crowd for Snoddy's face...
"Maybe it was all just a dream..."
He heard the reporter give a fake laugh and realized he must have said that out loud.
"Oh I assure you Mr. Lee, it was NOT a dream-"
"No dream Swift, that I promise you."
Swifty turned to see Snoddy's black eyes staring straight at his, an actual smile across his usual tough face.
Snoddy put a finger to his lips and slipped away as Swifty began to answer all the reporter's questions in earnest.
