Cross Country
On a warm morning I was sleeping under my warm blankets.
BEEP! BEEP!
“Morning already” I moaned
“ Mum can I sleep in 5 more minutes or can I make that 10 more minutes”
“ No you need to wake up right now because today is cross country and you don’t want to be late for that do you?”
“ Oh right I will”
Soon I was having breakfast. I had Weetbix. It was yummy. I filled my water bottle with fresh cold water. I packed my delicious lunch that my mum made for me in my school bag.
I looked at the clock.
“ WWWHHHAAATTT! It’s 8:40 already hurry up we need to get to school”.
Everybody got in the car. We sped off. When we arrived at school I went to islamic class. After that Mrs Mellick took the roll. “ 2 lines outside please” It’s time! my heart started pounding. Boom! Boom! Boom! We sat outside under the shelter. Soon everybody was cheering and shouting. The juniors went first. I never realized that it was my turn to race. I was competing in the year 5 girls race we had to run 2 blocks out of school and 1 lap of the court. I trained hard. Bang! we ran. When I passed Miss Percy I ran faster. When I was running uphill. I passed a lot of people. I looked forward and saw Fardosa, Tina and Nejwa right in the front.
When I went around the corner I saw my mum and dad and brother cheering me on. “ GO JUMAANAH GO!” I ran even faster. I reached the finish line. I came 6th place.
I felt really proud that I participated in cross country. It was fun. I can’t wait till next year.
