Authors Note I dont own harry potter yall
"Uno!" I exclaimed as my twin Hermione was about to place a card on the deck. "Ugh, you always beat me" groaned Hermione as I handed her four new cards to add to her pile. Hermione was definitely smarter than me but she could never beat me in uno. " We should get ready for breakfast" I said as I started collecting my cards and placing them in the box. " Yeah we should get ready, are you excited for your ice skating competition today?" Hermione asked as she put the box away.
" I'm a bit nervous, yeah " I said to her before I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. I stared at myself in the mirror while brushing my hair. Getting my long black curly hair took such a long time since it was so tangled, and I could never put anything on my face since my skin is pretty sensitive unlike the rest of my family.
I don't look like my family either, since me and my sister were adopted, I look nothing like my sister either. She has light skin and I have dark skin. She has light brown hair and I have black hair. I don't mind it but I can't pretend to be my sister so that sucks.
After I finished getting ready I hurried to grab my running uniform, which was a black tanktop and shorts. I changed as fast as I could then walked down the stairs for breakfast.
"Good morning mum and dad, when are we leaving?" I asked as I placed a serving of scrambled eggs and hash browns on my plate. "Good morning Sam, we're leaving in ten minutes," mum answered. "Can I go shopping with Mia after?" I asked hopefully. "Maybe, it depends on what time we leave," mum replied.
After eating breakfast, me, mum, and Hermione headed to the car. " Samantha, did you bring your water bottle?" mum asked as she started to drive. "Sam, I bet you 10 dollars you will get first place." Hermione said jokingly . " No betting, you'll make Sam run out of money to spend," mum teased.
After 10 more minutes we reached the track " bye mum, bye hermione i'm going to catch up with my team see you later" i yelled as i ran towards my coach and teammates. I was the youngest on my team. Everyone was around 13 years old but I was 11 turning twelve in September but still it was my favorite thing to do.
After I reached my teammates the coach started a roll call. "Okay, is Jules here….. Carol… How about Jamie, here, samantha….. Jane….. Kristi here. Now that we're all here we are ready to start, you have 5 minutes to stretch, drink water, or use the bathroom before we start, " Coach Elise announced. I decided to stretch.
First I did some lunges, a jog in place for a minute then jumping jacks.
" Okay everyone breaktime is over, line up on your number and wait for the other girls to join," she told us. I Found my number and waited. About one or two moments later everyone was ready, "the race is starting! 3,2,1 go!" the commenter exclaimed. When the race had first started i knew not waste my energy early on. I waited till there was only two laps left when i used all my energy to speed up. I could feel the wind blowing on my face as i made it to third place, there were only two people left for me to pass. In seconds place was jules, but first was a girl I didn't know. I pushed myself as hard as I could , barely passing jules. The finish line was now closer then ever. If i wanted first place i had to pass the other girl now. I ran as fast as i could but i was still tied. The finish line was only a few feet away when i finally passed the girl.
"Now first place has been taken by Samantha Granger, and a close second by Abby Samuels then third place Jules karl." I heard the commenter explain as i found mum and hermione and we walked to the car. By the time we had left it was 2:34 pm. "Sam, do you still want to go shopping or do you want to go home?" mom asked as she backed out of her parking spot. " Let's go home instead, can we go shopping tomorrow?" I asked. "Of course, I still have to call grandma and grandpa and tell them you won!
