As I crouched down into the position, and stared straight ahead of me. I felt this strange feeling overwhelming me again. My heart was beating fast, and somehow everything in that moment felt unreal.
"GO!!!" The PE teacher blew his whistle and all of us flew onto the track.
The crowd around us was roaring, too. A weird gut wrenching feeling fell upon me as all I could think of as winning this race. All I knew at that moment was I had to reach the finish line. All that felt really surreal.
I could see Nishimiya in front of me, running like there's no tomorrow as his pony tail was flying literally. His t-shirt was fluttering at all that speed.
There were a few people in front for a moment, but soon they were left behind too, as the only person I found in front of me was Nishimiya himself. I neither looked to my left nor to my right as my eyes were focused on the track.
