Place: Marathon
Beginning phrase: Winning isn't...
Story must include: Vent, bagel, naked, & Rolex
“Winning isn’t everything” my mother tells me in the car while we wait for the marathon to start. I assume her words are meant to prepare me for the worst in case I fail to finish, but I am more determined than ever. I check my fake Rolex and discover that there is less than an hour before the start of the race.
For years I had been the fat chick, chubby friend, and stocky girl with the nice personality, but over the past two years I have pushed myself to lose over 100 pounds. I am now toned and ready to jog into history books! Well, maybe not, but it’ll sure be cool to cross that finish line.
I shiver as I adjust the vent, “Mom! You’re freezing me out over here!” She informs me that I need to cool off before I start that “hot race”. I am sitting here practically naked and I doubt that I should be going from such extremes in temperature, but she tells me that mom always knows best. Sure just like she knew what was best for me earlier when she made me eat that bagel that is now sitting like a stone in my stomach. I roll my eyes at her as she looks away.
