“Come on Sebastian! Were going to be late!” Randy hopped into the bus, followed later by Sebastian.
“Why do we have to leave this early? It's like… six or something.” The rest of the team was mostly on. The coach started calling names for attendance. This was Sebastian’s first wrestling tournament, Randy’s third. They are both eighth graders. Sebastian has no clue what he is doing.
“What seed are you anyway? I’m 2nd” Randy Asked Excitedly.
“6th. I’m not that good at wrestling anyway.” Sebastian never really cared about sports, he just did it to be with Randy and his other friends.

Sebastian was getting pretty worried, although he could care less, he didn’t want to be the kid that lost his first match.

So some schools were from similar regions. Randy and Sebastian’s school sat on the right side. It took a while for the tournament to start. Schools had to weigh in, which took long.
“I still can’t believe that I made it in the tournament. I heard these are tough.” Sebastian said.
“All starters make it, it starts getting tough after the first round.” Randy quietly responded, as they were entering the locker room.
“I hope I make weight… I made it last match, so I should be fine.” The weight went lightest to heaviest, so Randy went before Sebastian. Randy stepped on the scale.
“146, you're good.” The coach said to Randy. Randy let out a sigh of relief.
“160, you’re good.” The coach said to Sebastian. There was a two pound “allowance” later in the season, so he made it.
“Did you make it?” Sebastian

    “HUMMM,” I could hear the sound of the bus as it tore down the road. I sat on the bus cramped in-between my friend, Christian, and one of his friend’s, Ayan. They were talking about something, but I was too nervous to talk (or pay attention at all for that matter). We were on our way to our third cross country meet of the season. The reason I was so nervous was because last meet I had finished 18th overall, or second place sixth grader, and now I felt an overwhelming needed to finish at least 18th overall.…
