Friday

During sports day, Leo stood at the back of the line, tying his shoelace for the third time. He didn’t like running in front of crowds, and the cheers from the parents made his ears burn.

When the race began, Leo ran steadily, keeping his eyes on the finish line. One by one, other runners slowed down. Leo didn’t notice he was in the lead until his teacher raised a whistle in the air.

After the race, Leo accepted his sticker with a shy smile. He hadn’t been the loudest or the fastest at the start, but he had kept going.
