"85 bottles of beer on the wall… 85 bottles of beer-"
"Marco!" Paige says cutting off her friend sitting in the passenger seat who was grinning widely at her.
"Yes?" He asks although he knew exactly why she was calling him.
"How about we listen to the radio?" She asks, knowing that his goal when he starting singing at 101 beer bottles was to get her to turn the radio on which she had turned off when she entered the car.
"Fine with me" he says laughing; he loved Paige to death which also meant he knew how to work her nerves.
"We're almost there anyway" Paige says knowing her friends plan all along.
"No way!" Marco says grabbing the map from beside him and examining it closely. It was true; they were less than 10 miles away from the University of Calgary campus.
"Do you think Alex will win the race?" Marco asks casually; although he knew the answer what he really wanted to know was if Paige still had feelings for Alex.
"I hope so" Paige says shaking her head slightly "One thing I doubt has changed in Alex is her hatred for losing and I don't want to interview an irritated Alex" She says although when they were dating she did have a knack for calming Alex down; a knack she secretly wondered if she still possessed.
"Sweetie… it's alright… just calm down!" Paige said to a very irritated Alex. Her teacher had done something to aggravate her and she had texted Paige asking her to meet her. They were alone, near the basketball court at Degrassi high. Alex was very, very angry! "Alex, honey please!" Paige continued relentlessly trying to get her girlfriend to calm down.
"Paige I-" Alex began only to be cut off by Paige's soft lips on hers. Alex moaned as Paige's shoved her gently towards the wall pinning her there and brushing her tongue over Alex's bottom lip begging for entrance that was given instantly. They broke apart both panting when oxygen became an issue. Paige kissed a small path from Alex's jaw to her pulse point.
"We better be getting back to class" Paige said leaving a quick lingering kiss on Alex's cheek.
"Tease!" Alex breathed out. "Do we have to?" she slightly whined.
"Yes" Paige said, internally contently sighing. "Not angry anymore?" Paige asked fixing her girlfriend's attire so it wouldn't look like she had been doing something she shouldn't have been doing.
"I was mad?" Alex asks chuckling.
Paige pulled into the parking lot parking next to a small black Jeep smiling at the memory of her and Alex. She took a deep breath. She had been waiting to see Alex again since they had both left for separate colleges.
"I hope we get good seats" Marco says exiting the car and following behind Paige to the University of Calgary's track. They picked a seat in one of the middle rows where they could see everything. There were to be three races before the Kimberly vs. Alex face off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay breathe" Shannon said to Alex who was sitting on the bench with a bottle of water giving her best friend the 'are you crazy?' look.
"Shannon… if I weren't breathing, I'd be dead!" Alex says matter-of-factly. "Maybe you should sit down" she adds seeing that the older girl was way more nervous than she was although she was the one who had to race. Shannon was rarely nervous before a race so Alex knew how much this race meant to her best friend, so she silently vowed she would not lose.
"I'm fine standing" Shannon says starting to pace back and forth in front of the younger sprinter.
"Shannon!!!!" Alex says loudly, becoming annoyed by her captain's pointless movement.
"What?" Shannon asks, stopping momentarily to glance at her best friend before continuing her pacing while watching the race transpiring before her.
Holly Ratzlaff, a junior on the University of Calgary's track and field team was behind in a 100 metre sprint against the University of Alberta's Jenny Ciochetti.
"Holly will be fine… now would you please sit down?" Alex asks putting an emphasis on the word 'please'. Shannon sits down only to stand back up less than a minute later as Holly passes Jenny and wins the race.
"Told you she'd be fine!" Alex says matter-of-factly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paige could feel her anticipation building as the second race finished. Rachel Romero of the University of Calgary had lost the race to Aimee McMillan of the University of Alberta by mere seconds.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Grrrrr!" Shannon had exclaimed as a result of the loss of the race. She was growing more and more nervous as there was only one more race until Alex's race.
"Shannon… I will be fine! Riley… well no comment about Riley" Alex said giving the older sprinter a neck massage. Riley McQueen and Alex had never really gotten along since it was known that Alex would be captain next year but nevertheless, Alex still wanted the junior sprinter to win against Kareen Warren of the University of Alberta. Riley lost the race making it Calgary, 1, Alberta, 2.
Shannon began pacing again as Alex got set for the 400 metre race. It was the longest race of the day and considering Kimberly Lockhart's record and the outcome of the other races, it seemed the odds were against Alex.
She set up, taking a second to glance at the senior she was racing against and then glancing at Shannon who was pacing nervously. She would not lose this race. Alex looked in front of her, concentrating on the sound of the announcer's voice.
"And the final event, University of Alberta's two time CIS athlete of the year winner and three time gold winner, senior, Kimberley Lockhart and one time gold winner, University of Calgary's freshman, Alex Nuñez… At the sound of the horn, the race will begin… One, two, three..." The horn sounded and both girls took off down the track head to head at exceptional speeds.
------------------------------------------------------------------
A warm feeling overcame Paige seeing Alex so close yet so far. Paige couldn't help but relish every movement of the sprinter. She moved so gracefully, her hair in a ponytail, her blue and white jersey with Nuñez printed on the back and her shorts, short enough to expose her beautifully toned legs were all slightly blowing in the wind enclosing Alex in cocoon of breeze that Paige though made her look like a goddess.
Marco watched intently as Paige watched Alex and he could help but wonder what would be made of their reunion.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
300 metres into the race and both girls were still neck in neck. Their attitudes were clear in their facial expressions. While Alex was cool and collective running at an average speed instead of her top speed; it looked as if Kimberly was struggling to pass the younger girl. Alex glanced at the girl next to her and smirked. She would not lose this race.
Nearing the last 100 metre, she transitioned from a relaxed sprint and started to accelerate past the second curve passing Kimberly and internally chanting "I will not lose" although she knew she would not lose the race. She managed to keep her speed, reaching the finish line in 48.20 and winning the race by 26 seconds. Before she could even relish in her win, Shannon was enveloping her in a huge hug.
"Told you I'd win!" She said matter-of-factly to Shannon as the coach put a gold medal around her neck.
"Come on… I'll buy you a chocolate bar!" Shannon said after the commotion of the win was over and she was walking into the locker room with Alex.
"Alright… wait hold on… let me go grab my towel… I'll meet you in the locker room!" Alex says sprinting back onto the track to grab her towel.
"Ms. Nuñez, I've been sent from Banting to interview you" Paige says behind Alex. Paige was nervous, there were butterflies in her stomach and she felt warm all over.
Alex knew that voice. She knew it well. She turns around smirking finding herself looking into the eyes of Paige Michalchuk.
