Impromptu Sport Event 2

Liam and his classmates changed with the help of their teachers and made their way to the indoor sports hall. "Liam what game do you think we will be taking part in?". Liam looked around and said, "I think it is an obstacle course". As soon as the classes settled down in the indoor sports hall, the teachers introduce the game they will be participating in, "You guys will be taking part in a relay obstacle course.

Everyone has to be in groups of 3, those who don't have a group can join the other class to team up". James looks at Liam and asks "Can we be a team?". Liam nodded his head and said, "We need another one". As the two boys look around but no one wants to team up with them, James teared up and said "Sorry, it must be due to yesterday when I hurt you". Liam patted his back and said it was alright.

A boy walked up to them shyly, and ask in a quiet voice "Are you looking for another teammate? Can I join you guys?". Liam turned and saw a skinny boy and said "Sure, I am Liam. This is my friend James". James heard Liam introduced him as his friend was delighted and smiled said "Nice to meet you. My name is James, you are?". The shy boy felt a bit brave and spoke slightly louder "My name is Alexander. But call me Alex". Liam, James, and Alex planned who will go first then the anchor. "Students, as this is a relay there will be baton passing".

With such a sudden event, the students were unprepared. Half an hour later the games for Liam's group cluster started. Alex will go first, followed by Liam then James.

"Class cherry, send in your next group that has not participated yet". Liam and his teammates went to their respective positions before the game starts. The girls in their class were cheering for Liam.

*Bang!* A sound made by a blank shot.

Alex began running, slowly clearing the obstacles. Soon, he saw Liam waiting for him he sped up and passed the baton to Liam successfully. Liam held the baton tightly and started going through his part of the obstacle. Liam currently crawling through a tunnel saw James waiting for him. When Liam was passing the baton to James, it slipped, James panicked picked up the baton, and kept falling.

James thought to himself that he failed his friends. "JAMES, YOU CAN DO IT!" shouted Liam and Alex. James picked himself up and quickly clear his obstacles, he was currently in 5th place and James speeds up as his friends cheer him on. He was on par with the 4th placer.

James did his last spurt and went past the 4th placer and passed the finishing line. James was sad that they didn't win the top 3 placings. Liam and Alex ran up to him and said "Great job! Indeed our anchor is the best".

"But we didn't win". Liam and Alex looked at each other than said "It's okay. The most important thing right now is that we finished at the finishing line. We did not give up". Alex then said, "If you want to blame, blame me, I was slow". And so Alex and James kept apologizing to each other. When they went back to their class, the chattering stop. Their classmates held a disgusted look on their faces.

"Our class should have won at least 3rd place, if not for him".

James heard his classmates' comments, was most likely to be talking about his plunder at the race. Liam could not stand it and said "Winning is not important here. It is true everyone wants to be the winner, but if the class is not united together I think we won't be even in 4th place but last place. It is also true that yesterday, I got beaten by some of our classmates but I forgive those who apologize for their mistake.

James is the first one to apologize, what about the rest?". The entire class kept quiet, while the other classes were cheering for their own class. Liam and James went back to their seats, the entire class looked at them. Liam was thinking whether his words were too harsh when James stood up and said "Guys, we need to be united. We need to help each other as we are in this together. I indeed hurt Liam yesterday and I learned that it was just because of my pride I held so high that I didn't want to admit I was wrong.

Liam still decided to be my friend even though I hurt him". James was tearing up as he said his speech. Liam's classmates stood up and said "Sorry!". Their form teacher saw this happen and said "Everyone huddle up, we need to be together for the next event, the cheering competition". Everyone huddled up in a circle and as united they can get "FIGHTING!".

Back to the soccer event.

The first match was decided and other matches are ending soon.

"The first victory match goes to class B1204. Congratulation! Commentary Stephens, what do you think?"

"It seems like class B1204 is very united and the boy wearing 6 on his t-shirt, I suspect he might be the dark horse in the class".

"Number 6? OH! That is our class new transfer student, Sora. Ever since he played with the class yesterday, the soccer geeks in our class have been asking him to play with them".

"To battle with soccer players from the club and win. I have to say the soccer clubs need this boy."

"On to the next match, we have B1201 as the winner for the never-ending match. Class B1201 and B1204 will be in the semi-final match alongside we have Class B1207 and B1208 also entering the semi-final match".

"I wonder which class will reign victory."

"Commentary Stephens, who do you think will end up in the finals?".

"I would like my class B1207 to win the game, seeing them going up against Teacher Landon's class. I have faith they can succeed".

"Commentary Stephens, no biases remember. But then I would also want to cheer for my class too".

"OH! Let's see whose class wins".

"That's what I wanna hear!".

After the semi-final match, the classes entering the finals have been decided.

"Moving forward, we have class B1204 and class B1207 entering the finals! Congratulation!"

"MC Joey, it seems like we predicted that final matches. CLASS B1207 YOU CAN DO IT!".

"Commentary Stephens, no biases! Plus who said we only have 1 black horse".

"You guys still have another hidden card? Who?"

"Only idiots show their enemy their hidden cards".

"I don't see anyone in your class that seems to be a good player".

"Only when you see it you will know. Continuing, the finals will be held after lunch. Today's lunch is provided by Subwich. Everyone will be given 1 sandwich, 1 cookie, and a drink. Enjoy your meal. Then we will be right back after the lunch break. This has been MC Joey going for her lunch break and".

"Commentary Stephens".

"Signing off".

Everyone dispersed after hearing the announcement and went back to class to eat lunch. Class leaders are to go to the canteen to collect the food for their class.

Back at Sora's class, Kristan asked "So, who is going to enter for the final? The usual team?". Greg raised his hand and said, "Guys, remember when I tripped earlier. I'm afraid I cannot continue till the second half". Sora walks up to Gregg and asks "Are you okay? Do you need to go to the infirmary?". Gregg shook his head and said, "I am okay. Plus, we have some teammate that hasn't participated yet". Everyone looked at Ben in his sportswear.

"Ben said he wants to play. If Gregg needs a timeout, we can have Ben take over him". Said Sora. Kristan then said, "But we have never played with Ben". Ben stood up and said, "Believe me. I will adjust to you guys, seeing you guys play for 2 rounds I get the gist". Everyone was skeptical about Ben, a bookworm taking part in sport. Someone who always avoids getting under the sun wants to play. "Alright. Gregg you can go rest, Ben will take over you". Said Kristan.

Gregg thanked Ben for taking over for him then said "The next opponent we facing is very strong, To be honest, I wouldn't last for 10 minutes. I have faith in you, just do your best and rely on your teammates". Ben nodded.

30 minutes after lunch…

"Welcome back everyone, this is your MC Joey here, and".

"Commentary Stephens".

"For the finals, we have a special guest. You guess it! It's our new school principal!"

"Hello".

"Principal, I have received news that there will be an award ceremony, not just ice cream".

"Sometimes I wonder if this is actually a school for young kids. Yes, we have an award ceremony. Last but not least I have an announcement at the end."

"Principal, can you do a special interview with the news club later. We have some questions from the student body".

"Miss MC, your club matter can wait. I am sure the students are waiting for you to start the event".

"Oops, sorry for the delay. For the Finals, we have Class B1204 and B1207. Commentary Stephens, what do you think about the team's lineup?".

"For class B1207, they had the same lineup. So, I have confidence that they will win. As for class B1204, there seems to be a change of lineup. Number 8 is missing from the lineup, he must have gotten injured during the previous match. He was a good player, I wonder the new guy is just as capable".

"Of course, he is. Though he may look like a nerd if he puts in just a tiny bit more effort, we might see a miracle today."

"Miss MC seems to have a lot of faith in your class".

"Of course! My class will win!"

"No. My class will win!"

MC Joey and Commentary Stephens glared at each other. While the Principal is sipping his tea and said "Let us start the game. MC Joey and Commentary Stephens are having their own internal fights".

Soon the match starts upon the principal's prompt.
