He loved the thrill of going as fast as he could
He would run and run til night came, and the next morning he would wake up and run again
One day he saw a flyer that said that there was going to be a track race in town this coming Saturday
and the winner of the race will be introduced as the fastest runner in the city and will be eligible to compete nationally
Tyreese was filled with excitement and he ran home to tell his mom
Huffing and Puffing, he dashed through the kitchen and ran right into his mother
She asked "whats going on, sweetie?" and he told her about the flyer he found and told her that he wanted to sign up for the race
Of course she said he could because it was his passion and she knew he would work hard to reach his goal
That minute Tyreese ran outside and started training
He stopped by Lily's house, and then Chavon's house to tell them the news and asked if they'd help him train and start timing his runs
They started immediately, and they would time him and help motivate him every day until the race
It was now race day and Tyreese was terrified, he knew he put in the hard work and of course with his friends by his side he knew that he had a great chance at winning the race.
He waited and waited by the track until it was time to start the race
The announcer said "the race will begin in 5 minutes, runners start your way towards the track and get in position"
Tyreese felt a storm of butterflies in his stomach and he froze
He didn't realize how many people were going to be watching
Lily, Chavon, and his mother came and gave him a giant group hug and told him to remember that he is the best he can be and thats all that matters, and that they all still love him
He rushed out to his spot on the track and got into starting position
"The race will begin in 30 Seconds"
He took a deep breath and remembered what his friends and mom told him
3...2...1..
The gun shot and they were off
Tyreese ran as fast as his feet could take him
He crossed the finish line and ran right into the arms of his friends
They were screaming "YOU WON", "YOU WON"
