"So Ling litreally broke Yuan's leg?"
"Does that mean...Arts 1st year are domed? Because without Yuan there is no way they will win."
"Well they can still relay on Ling and others but being the weakest in sport there is no way they will be able to win more than 2 competition."
"Looks like no treat for us..."
.
Rumours about Yuan and the doom of Arts 1st year spread faster then Amazon fire and it pressurized the foursome even more.
"I can still perform!" Yuan said as he stood form his seat.
"No you can't!" Ling said as she stood before him.
"But the doctor didn't say I can't dance."
"But she did say not to put restrain on your leg and I don't think jumping in air will be a relaxing act." Ling said as she made him sit down again.
"But!"
.
"Yuan, no more buts we are here...we will figure out something and if not then what the use of having a rich classmate. You can always treat us."
"Yeah, to treat us will only take a little of your allowance~"
"And we promise, we won't eat much."
There classmates said as they tired to cheer him up.
.
But Yuan didn't seem much affected by it and his head seemed to be hanged more down then before.
"Yuan what's wrong now? See everyone is okay with losing and...I promise to pay half of the treat money okay?" Ling said as she sighed.
.
"Its not about the money or treat..." Yuan said in a low grumpy voice.
"What?"
"...I...I..just..don't want our class..to losse..not this time when everyone prepared so hard and keeping the fact that this will be the last time we will run together...I wished to give my best...but now..." Yuan said as he played with his fingers.
.
Silence filled the room as everyone ran out of their words.
"....Yuan...Thank you for thinking so much about us." Ning said as she stood form her seat and went near him.
"....We don't know what will happen but we promise to give our best, and even if we fail.. the blame will never come on you. So, please forget everything and rest well." Ning said as she handed him a juice with a pleasing smile.
.
Yuan didn't move and just sat here with his head low,
"Yuan..Yuan Ge...." Ning said and within a second he raised his head while all the eyes turned to Ning.
.
"Did I hear it correctly?"
"Was that really Ning?"
"Is the world about to end?"
Murmered the kids while Ning held onto her smile with red ears.
.
"Yuan how long do you think of making my bestie stand with her hands in air?" Ling questioned as she crossed her arms.
"Can you say that again?" Yuan asked as he took the juice form her hand and looked at her with expectations.
"Okay...Yuan Ge..."
"..Ha...*Falls back to his seat* Now I can die peacefully!" He said as he took his hand too his chest and smiled while others Birkenhead out init a titer of laughter.
.
"Our Yuan is back!"
"Thank God, I couldn't bear to see the class clown being all depressed."
"Don't thank God but thank my bestie here, it's all because of her magical words."Ling said as she side hugged Ning who looked at the ground all flustered.
.
"Enough with the teasing guys, remember we still need to go down and give our best." Feng who was silently watching everything unfolding said as he placed his hands on Yuan's shoulder.
"We know and we ready to win!" Ling shouted as she raised her fists on the air.
"Yes! We will win!" The other classmates followed as they too raised their hand in the air.
.
This was the first time that there class was so united and positive as if like nothing could break them up now and no matter what lies ahead they can pass through it easily.
.
But...
"And the science 1st year win the archery competition!"
"This was the 3rd lose of Arts 1st year...looks like they are really going to live upto their name of being the weakest." The announcer announced as the board showed the points accumulated by all the faculty.
....Only motivation and spirit is enough to win a fight is more like a myth then reality.
.
"Wow! Atleast we won one match didn't we?"
"And that too musical chair."
"So what? Musical chair needs presence of mind and speed you know."
"Hmm, but the other faculty don't really think so for them it's all luck."
"All of you don't lose hope yet! We still have Ling our Ace! We will win for sure." Yuan cheered even though he was nervous too.
.
"....Yuan Ling is our Ace but the other faculty have the the national champion in their team...." One of the classmates stated with hesitation.
"...But that doesn't mean she will win always! Don't you have faith in Ling?"
"Yuan we have faith in Ling...and we won't be surprised if she loses but you know her...she will be disappointed in herself.."
.
"You guys don't need to worry so much about me." Ling said as she entered the stadium wearing her sports shorts and tee, Ning was behind her with a calm expression.
"I already knew about my competitors and it would be a lie to say that I am not agitated by them but, just because they are stronger doesn't mean there is no chance for me..as long as there is even 0.0001 percent of chance I will run. Run us...Run for myself." Ling said as she looked at her classmates while Ning smiled at her with proud eyes.
.
"...Then what are you waiting for?" Their Homeroom teacher said form behind giving a jump scare to everyone.
"Your name has already been called twice! Hurry up and reach to the field." He said as he pointed towards the ground.
.
"Shit!!" Ling said as she ran towards the ground and others cheered for her.
"Ling you can do it!!" Ning murmered as she clenched her fists whereas others shouted on top of their lungs.
