Chapter 1 - The dream

"Dear Audience, welcome! Today you are watching the World junior short track championship. In this championship, we invited 42 high schools in the province and over 200 athletes to come participate. Short track speed skating is a winter Olympic sport. Athletes will speed down the speed track. The competition uses elimination system, heats the semi final and final round. What you are about to watch is women's 500 meter finals. Four athletes will compete on a 111.12 meter track for 4.5 laps. As long as they are not breaking the rules of the sport, athletes can overtake each other at any time. This will make today's competition very exciting. Let's look forward to it."

I listened to the commentator, my heart beating so fast that even the person right next to me could hear it thumping "thump, thump, thump". The crowd was wild and I could hear people cheering me "You can do it Janice." I was so excited to rock the world today. All the competitors were warming up on the ice rink.

Then the announcement was made 'go to the start', 'Ready 'and all four of us took our positions. Everything around me disappeared and my focus was to just WIN. I heard the gunshot and started skating.

"The competition starts! Number 60, Janice morgan, is in the lead already, behind her is number 302,Elisa Christie and number 105, Marianne king in third place. There are 3 more laps. As we all know, the 500 meter is a short race. The starting speed is crucial. Will Janice maintain her position or will other athletes pass her?" I was focused on maintaining my speed, putting all my strength. Elisa was closing the gap, looking for a chance to pass me. She was moving away from the curve, using the outer track to move ahead. How will she do it, if I won't let her! But that Marianne overtook both of us in just one move. Fu-

But I am no less, I started accelerating from the outer track and passed both of them. The ring of the last lap was echoing In my head so loud, I could only see the bright red colour of the finish line. I used all my energy and power to leave everybody behind and there I won! The crowd went to the wildest state, dancing and cheering. There I was standing at the podium and getting a gold medal.

"Janice you did nice today. If you try, you can make it into the national team." Coach said. I grinned at him. I was so happy to see everybody clapping and cheering.

Then I heard a voice "Nissy? Nissy?" and I knew I was dreaming again, the same dream.

"I am dreaming such a good dream, why did you wake me up" I said to Matt, my bestfriend.

He snorted; he knew I was having the same dream.

"Stop laughing. After not seeing me for half a month,do you miss getting beaten up?" I said to him. "No,no. Since I came all the way to escort you to the university, don't be angry at me anymore" he said.

"Fine, thank you, the straight A medical student from Mcgill university, for coming with me."I chuckled. "No matter what department. I'll follow you anywhere. Heaven and earth are my witnesses!"he joked.

"How about you transferring to our veterinary medicine department? After all, seeing animals and humans are both saving lives,right?" I said sarcastically. That shut him up.
