It was a cool autumn morning as I ran around the neighborhood. I tried to run as fast as I could because I knew there were tasty, chocolate donuts waiting for me. I ran by my best friend ,Harley,who was working out like always. I came home and I knew to never cheat like those desperate people who want to win, but to always be honest
“Raymond!! You’re finally old enough for the Halo Race!” screamed Squeaky running down the stairs.
“I know, I can’t wait for you to train Harley and me”, I replied excitedly.
I wondered to myself, “What the race is going to be like.” Just like old times Squeaky is excited for running season. Last year she beat her enemy, Gretchen, at the May Day race. Unusually they made up and became friends. I left to go to …show more content…
We were walking home when my conscious told me to tell Harley how I feel. I decided to take it slow and hold her hand.

I saw Squeaky in her unique track suit while I changed into my practice clothes. We all met up in the middle of the circle and Squeaky explained to us what we would be doing today at practice.
While Squeaky was setting up the tall, bright, orange cones I whispered to Harley, “Squeaky always brags about her past races and how she was undefeated.”
“Well, I think she just misses the sport, especially after her incident”, commented Harley. “Yes, it must’ve been rough going through the surgery and missing the world championships”, I agreed. Squeaky approached us and roared, “Run a lap NOW!” Harley beat me, but I didn’t worry because it was only practice. “Laziness: when I was your age I was faster than the wind. Remember Raymond at the May Day race? I ran like a cheetah and beat Gretchen, then Raymond came running to me. That’s when I knew another Williamson runner was discovered”, blabbered Squeaky while staring off into space. “We know!” I sighed. “ Okay, then run two more laps. GO!GO!GO!” shouted
