The three of us were lined up, running alongside each other. I was between the two when I said, "See you at the finish line."
I speed up even more. Their speed was nothing compared to mine. I had them eat my dust when I left them behind and went first place.
A lot of my classmates look so disappointed. They must have lost a lot from that race. But one girl's happy because of that race.
She approached me along with some of my classmates. I know what they want.
A particular girl had given me a towel. I took it and used it to wipe my sweats off.
"Thank you, Tachibana-san. You look happy, you must have placed your
bet on me."
"Geh! Am I too obvious? It's not just me, they too. I told them to place their bets on you."
'Why? They would blame her if I didn't even decide on going for first place
"Good for all of you."
I sat down and relax. That was a bit tiring, but it was good.
Tachibana-san and the others sat beside me.
