Thanks to an unknown friend

It was one of those dreaded times of school when i was asked to run for the sports events...
god how much i detested those events...would pray that the earth opened up and i neednt run and end up coming the last in the race...
So, one more sports day, one more 100 mt sprint and one more sad day awaiting...
I went up to the race all jittery thinking how much i would be poked fun of...
My legs shivering, heart pounding, i stand in the start line..
I hear the gun shot and everyone around me is running and in a reflex so am i..
By the mid of the race...i realise the whole lot is ahead of me...except for one who is struggling to run as much as i am...
Can you imagine the rush i had imagining that i need not come last...
I ran giving it all i had....
Ran for my life in short...
And guess what for once I didnt come last in the race...
I was happier than the winner i suppose...
Today, i wanna thank that girl, whoever you are...for making my day and giving me hope that i neednt be last :D
Thanks!
