Cross country

When I woke up in the morning I got ready for school. As I walked towards the door I just remember we had cross country. I was not ready. I asked my mum if she could write me a note but she said "no, just try your best in it". So I got my spare change of cross country clothes ready. As I arrived at school I saw my friends in their running clothes so I got ready in my running clothes and waited.

When the second bell rang I went to class. My teacher showed us where to go. It was a long track until we get back to school. When the other classes were outside waiting, we got ready and walked down to the courts. We went into our lines and waited for Ms Va'afusuaga to tell us what to do. When she was talking to us about the cross country, she told all of us to do our best.

The yr 7 girls were up to run the track After the yr 7 girls it was the yr 7 boys then the yr 8 girls. I went to go and line up by my friends and BOOM! A loud as noise was heard and I jogged with my friends.
As we got to the bottom field we started to walk. It was so muddy so I walked on the grass. When we went past Mrs T she told us to run so I started running so I could catch up with my friends. As I was running I nearly fell over.

When I got to Mr Umu I jogged because some of my friends were cheering for me. I jogged my way to the finish line. I was so proud of myself because I kept on saying that I wasn't going to do the cross country but I did.
After crossing the finish line I was so out of breath that I couldn't talk to my friends who were sitting next to me. When we went back to class I was so tired that I wanted to sleep. Because I was still in class, I waited until the bell rang.
