We are back inside the locker room, all of the girls are sweating, panting,etc. I on the other hand, can't feel my legs.
Our coach, Coach Von, made us jog a 400 as a warmup. And we had to time 200's, that was a killer workout.
Although we had a killer workout, I still cannot stop thinking about how Roman was just staring at me, as I raced the other girls,it gave me encouragement to run faster.
By the end of our session, as I was chugging my water from my hydroflask, the boys track team walked past us as they were starting to head inside, I couldn't stop myself from glancing at Roman, who glanced back.
" 5 seconds", I murmur to myself.
I am stuck in my daydream, until I'm interrupted. " Julia!", I turn my head as soon as I heard my name, Sarina.
She is still in her swim suite, shoulders slouched, and panting heavily.
" Dang girl, your dying" I joke. " Shut up", she whines back, " our coach made us do 50s today", she starts entering her locker code, " girl, our coach made us do 200's today."
She pauses, and slowly twists her head towards me, " what?!" She blurts out, " Yeah" I chuckle.
" Girl, I am so thankful I never joined track" she raises both of her hands in the air, " oh, really" I protest, " who was saying they would love to sneak into track, because they want to stare Roman 24/7" I tease, " well that's only to look at him, I am not doing the workouts though" she says.
" Ok, whatever you say" I answer back.
We both got changed, and headed to the front of the locker room, to line up, and that's where we met Sabrina.
" Hey you guys" she waves, " hey" we greet back. " how was ya'lls workouts?" She asks, " terrible" Sarina mutters. " I had to swim 50's for each stroke, and Julia had to time 200's" she complains.
" Dang, you guys" she answers, " but, it's not as bad as mine, we had to run 6 laps around the school!" She exclaims.
" Dang!" Me and Sarina exclaim at the same time, mouths open.
We all wait for the bell to ring, 3,2,1, I count in my head.
Ring,ring,ring. Exactly on time, we all rush out, and the hallways are like a barricade, people running, crowding, talking, a full highschool festival.
We make a turn, to where we are now walking down an aisle, " what's your second period?" Sabrina asks. I look down on my schedule paper, " math" I blurt out, " I have Equine science" Sarina adds in, " oh man, I got language arts" Sabrina whines, pouting her lips in annoyance.
" Ok, then we have to part ways" I say, the both nod back, and just like that, Sarina and Sabrina turn left, while I turn right.
I head inside my classroom, to which I am greeted by the teacher, Mrs. Lowe, I look for my seat, Julianna Arie Wilmsley are printed out on a blank piece of paper in bold words.
I sit myself down, and wait for my classmates.
