Three weeks later, after practicing and training Hard in both soccer and track and field, I had gotten most of the rules down, and I was also ready for my first soccer match and first track meet that were all this week. Our last basketball game was also this week, we had the other two games, and they were uneventful, and we were ready for the finals which were to be held at the end of the week.
This Tuesday, we had our first soccer game against a team that was dead last place in the soccer rankings around our county. Coach made me a striker in this game, and I had no problem with that. I knew I couldn't go as hard as I went into the game against Kofi last time. I didn't want everybody to think that I was a freak even though I kind of was, and they've already thought of me as one since I played three different sports.Everybody was amazed at my energy to be able to balance all three in the same season, but I paid the onlookers no mind. I received the ball as the game started. I dribble the ball down a little bit, and one guy tried to tackle me, but I faked them to the left, making him slide into the air because I wasn't there and continued forward.Just as another defender had come in front of me, I froze the time, this time because I didn't want to deal with him and just ran past him as the timer went out shocking everybody that I was that fast to get by. I had reached in front of the goalie, and just when he thought I was going to strike to the left, he dove for the ball, but I held onto the ball making a fake, which caused the crowd to laugh because the goalie was nowhere near the right side.I just kicked the ball right into the goal, giving us the first score, I and my teammates I did our victory dance which I taught them how to do every time we scored a goal, and we're pretty excited about it, and it helped us bond more. The game continues, then I had scored three more goals while the other team had scored just one.I was crossing up people badly thanks to my time freeze ability they weren't able to catch up to me but after the first half and the score was 4-1 I decided to set out the rest of the game and let it play out and give the other guys a chance to play this made them appreciate me more and thought that even though I was the best player on the team I was very humble.I never asked talked about being the best; they also knew that I was a basketball player who made them respect me even more. The game continued. The team managed to score, but my team added two more goals to it so that at the final time, it was 2 to 6, and like that, we won our first soccer match, which everybody was excited about. I had my family in the stands cheering me on, and I was happy to be able to see them support me so much.Sandra and her family were also around, which I was grateful for. After the game, we shook the other team's hands and went to get changed and showered. Coach took us to Pizza Hut to celebrate our first victory. After that, we all went home to get some rest. Two days later, I was going to have my first track and field meet.I continued to train in track and field, and soccer and track and field matches had finally come where we were facing off against a school in the mid-range of the rankings for best track and field teams. Everybody went about doing the event until it was my turn. Sandra was there too, and I had watched her make the Sprint run part which she had come in 4th place.She was a bit sad, but I told her that she should keep training hard if she wants to get better results. I stepped out onto the field then stretched out and got ready to do this race as soon as I heard the gunfire I started running, some of the guys that I was running with from different schools started speeding off I shook my head because I knew this was going to be a long run and thought that they would get tired.Midway through, they started to stop to catch their breaths, throwing them off their rhythm. I ignored them and passed them as I ran around the track field. They were pretty mad about this and didn't know why they were so out of breath and tired I continue to run while using my special breathing techniques I didn't feel tired at all but all of a sudden I got a cramp in my legs which but for me out of commission for a few minutes as everyone started to pass me.I quickly walked it off and tried to shake it off by the time I had gotten back, I had falling out of place and started to speed up a little bit. By the time we had finished the final lap, and I got into the final push, I was in third place and pushed in to make it to second. I was toe to toe with the guy in second place as we're coming up to the last line.Everybody was holding their breath to see if I'll be able to take second place at least, and after suffering for my Charlie's legs, just when we were about to cross the line, I dived in shocking everybody. I got second place. Everybody congratulated me on my first run for coming in second place. I was happy that I was able to do a sport that didn't involve shooting a basketball. We all went to celebrate after the game.
