Running

for a contest at school

As I ran, I never looked back. I didn’t want to know what was behind me. All I knew was that I was running for my life with someone chasing me. My years of cross country finally paid off. I have been running for since fifth grade and it is my passion. I can average bout a 6 min. mile for about 10 miles. I have been running for about 5 miles now and I can last a few more. I didn’t know where I was, just that I needed to find a way out.

 

     It all started at the mall. It was a normal Saturday, shopping with my friends. We were walking out of Macy’s when two guys ran by. Close behind them were two security guards.I saw that I could beat them to the guys, so I kicked off my shoes, dropped my bags, and ran. I easily breezed by security and soon caught up with the two guys. I dove and tackled the first, faster guy bringing the the second down with us, beginning to throw punches. I had learned how to fight from my first boyfriend. I was fighting both of them at the same time, with me winning. By the time security caught up with me, I had knocked one out and was wrestling with the other one. They handcuffed the first one, and helped me with the other guy. All of a sudden another guy ran up to us with a gun. I started to put my hands up, but thought I should do something. So I knocked the gun out of his hand and ran. As far as I know, he grabbed his gun and ran after me.

 

         That is how I ended up running. I could feel myself slowing down and the guy, sensing my weakness, sped up. I heard a momentary falter in his steps and felt a weight coming down on my back. I landed on something soft, but I don’t know what it was. The guy rolled me over and stared my deep in the eyes. I stared back trying to realize who it was. I was deep in my thoughts before I realized that he was half an inch form my face. Before I had time to think, he began to kiss my very tenderly. Then I remembered…

 

        

         I woke up with a smile on my face remembering who the guy was.
