Rivals and lovers

bicycle cycling

Jane Phillips POV

the bell just rang, and I walked straight to the school parking lot.fortunately I saw my dad already waiting for me in his car.

one of the things, I love the most about my parents is their promptness to any occasion that requires their presence,tho they're strict sometimes but they're also very caring and concerned about my well being.

I only dislike their strict side,I mean that's what brought me to this public school.

"good afternoon dad," I greeted.

"good afternoon my princess,"how was school today?he asked.

"it was great,"I replied.

"ok,"that is great to hear,"he stated and started the car.

today is one of my best day,as the thought of the earlier happenings just filled my whole body, and I can't even describe the feeling of going on a tough debate with the most cutest boy in our class and also my crush,then to the part where we bumped into each other.

awwwn.

that was so nice I couldn't even stop staring at his lips and innocent eyes.at that moment , it feels like my world is crumbling and I jus want to be with him in a small world filled with love.

it was indeed a rollercoaster feeling,I said to myself.

" Jane! was what brought me back from my Dreamland to reality.

"ye-yes daddy,I replied, stuttering.

are you ok?my dad ask

because you seems off today, what's up?

my dad stated again.

"I'm fine dad, I'm perfectly fine,"I stated.

'did anyone bullied you at school today?my dad ask again this time with a serious tone.

"no dad,no no," I protested with a smile,to calm that situation and end the conversation.

"ok,"if you said so,he stated and then face the steering.

___at home ___

I just got home,I walked straight to my room and took of my uniform,after that I jumped into the bath tub where i stayed for 20 minutes after cleaning my self i grabbed a pink gown and walk straight to the dinning table for lunch, I uncover the plate and it was mac and cheese.

I dive into the food in the next 13 minutes I'm done,

I went back upstairs and d a rebath.

after taking my bath the thought of today happenings in school, with my crush just keep flooding my mind.

"what's happening to you?Jane,I questioned my self. under my breath.why can't I take the drama that happened today, as a mere coincidence.

yeah, I believe it's just a mere coincidence and nothing special.after even trying to control my mind with (it's just a mere coincidence stuff), my mind can't still get away from it.

hmmm, I think I need to go out so that I can clear my mind of this,I reasoned.

"that would be better,I pick up my phone and checked the time it's already 5:45 PM,so I quickly pick up my helmet,boots and guides and walked down stairs.

"hi,mom. I greeted.

"hi princess,"she replied.

"where you headed?she asked.her eyes still glued to the TV.

"I'm headed to the cycling garden,mom,I stated walking towards my bicycle.

"ok but don't stay late my princess,she stated turning to face me.

okay,mom.i replied,.. turning to leave.

hey! I think you are forgetting something, princess.she called.

at that point I remembered I just forgot giving my mum a goodbye kiss,how do I even forget that,i mean we have been doing this goodbye kiss thingy,since i was a baby.

"sorry mum,I forgot.i stated after planting a light kiss on her right cheek.

I know, maybe because you are too big for that now.

no mum.. I can never be too big to stop giving you a goodbye kiss. I stated, amidst laughter while closing the door behind me.

___ AT THE CYCLING GARDEN _ _ _

I got to the cycling garden few minutes before the racing will officially started,so i took out my phone and made a short video.

___5 MINS LATER ___

the cycling coach stood on the announcement pulpit,with a note on his hand.

SO today's racing will go like this,the female cyclist will race in their female track.

the male's cyclist, will race as well in their male track.

these above listed races, will be a general one in their various departments.

then after that,the racers who took the 1st-5th position will be out sourced, to race for the second phase. then again the racers who occupies 1st-3rd positions, will be out sourced to participate in the third phase of the race, and again the racers who comes out third will be dropped,so the remaining 2 racers will have to compete for who is the best.

and then the two racers, which came out 1st in their different department will have to go head to head to be crowned the cycling king and queen of today's racing....am I understood? he asked.

"yes,"we all answered in unison.

now all females cyclist, should be headed to the female cycling department track.

and all male's to the male department track. he dropped the microphone and left the stage.

so on the first general racing I came 5th.

our coach and even my fellow cyclist were surprised, every one was just asking.are you okay,today Jane?

yeah I'm fine..I answered.

on the second race I came as the underdog,I mean no body believed that the one who luckily got qualified will came out leading the pack.as i came first leaving my competitors in dust.

now the pack has been reduced to just three cyclist,the three best in the female category, Individually I knew these girls to be a very deadly cyclist.we were the 3 powerhouse in our department. and we always go head to head.so this particular race is a very intensed one.

the whistle was blown, and the Almighty race Kickstarted, with the 3 of us in an head to head intensed race. after few seconds the girl named shakira Payne, went ahead of me and the other called nickie rose.there was a loud cheering ,and soon i left nickie rose in the dust and the game ended.

with Shakira Payne clinging the 1st position, and me the second position, and nickie rose was dropped.

we rested for like 15 minutes, before hitting the final departmental race.

after the break we went back to the track for the final departmental race, with Just me and Shakira Payne (the two cycling devils)as were fondly called by our co cyclist. at this moment I was feeling tensed up, I can feel that too on the side of Shakira Payne.

PIiiiiim! the whistle has been blown.

and the race between the two cycling badass got started, at the early stage of the race I was leading.with Shakira just a feet away from me.

it continued that way till we got to the middle of the track, and boom Shakira Payne is already 2 feets ahead of me i was trying my best not to loose hope.it continued that way till we got to the ending point.i think shakira became too relaxed and boom i saw myself won the race.
