Akane Tagawa
As Akane watched Sasami walk away, she wondered if she should have not brought it up. The look on Sasami's face made Akane's heart sink. 'Still, I'm glad she is safe. I hope that other boy, Jax, is okay, too...I'll apologize later.' Akane walked around the track, on the search of two events to participate in. What stood out to her the most were races, particularly the 400m. Akane chuckled softly, muttering to herself, "Too bad I have to choose only one of these, huh?"
Akane watched the other girls as they took turns practicing the 400m run. She was amazed at how fast some of the girls on the team were, not breaking their speed throughout the entire race. Akane began stretching on her own, anticipation growing in her chest as she prepared herself. Within the two minutes, it was Akane's turn.
She bent over into the position she saw the other girls go into, awaiting the countdown.
On your mark...Get set...POP!
Akane's body went running; she didn't know she had so much energy. The rhythm of her feet fell perfectly together with the rhythm of her heart. Akane tried to keep her eyes open to relish in the feeling. Pairs of feet moved quickly past her, bringing her back into reality. Akane sped up even more, though she began depleting more energy than she needed to. Akane crossed the finish line, making third to last place.
Her rapid heart rate slowed down as she rested, staring back at the track.
"That...felt...great."
Akane sighed in relief; after an adrenaline rush, life felt a little better. Though, she wasn't so happy about her placing. She'd have to work on that later. For now, Akane needed to move on to the next event.
