Part 11

today is the big day! IM GOING TO THE INAUGURAL TRACK MEET! i can't wait. by 6.30am (its still very dark outside) i am dressed in the many layers of winter wear. i walk (more like waddle unsteadily) to Jasper's room. flinging the door open i yell, "lets GO! im ready!"

all the Cullens eye me with amazement. "doesn't your human body require 18 hours of undisturbed sleep before you can function properly the next day?" Edward asks.

i smirk. "well seeing as im well over the jet-lag i only require 8 hours now. and anyway, today is the most important day of my life! ever! hurry! lets go NOW!"

"woah hold up. you need breakfast. we don't want you passing out later on." Carlisle says calmly. i am practically throwing a tantrum by now. "NO! i...um...don't eat breakfast. its against my new anti-breakfast diet. and anyway do you know how embarrasing it is to eat when the rest of you sit there staring?"

but the Cullens would hear none of it. Emmett simply hoisted me up onto his shoulder (my screaming bloody murder and pounding of his back was, alas, in vain) and carried me down. a plate of toast and eggs was ordered and i was made to eat everything. once satisfied with the emptiness of my plate, Carlisle nodded and i sped off towards the car. i think for once i was faster than all those vampires.

it is a 2 hour long drive to the Stadium. i spend that time fingering the worn covers of the smelly car seats. every 5 minutes or so i whine ,"are we there yet?" after saying this 17 tiems, Rosalie threatens to chuck me out of the window so i have to shut up.

*a long long long long time later....
WE'RE HERE! AT LAST! oh my gosh the stadium is HUGE! Carlisle's giving this fat guy in a suit our tickets. YAY!

the stadium is huge inside too. i can take off my jackets now because its heated to 23 degrees C. 23? hmmm. i run over to the air con control and bring it up to 25. 25 uses a lot less energy. save the earth people!

we take our seats and the running starts. its the coolest thing ever, seeing all those people in different countries' jerseys. Jasper gets bored after the first race (he knows he can run wayyy faster than that Polish guy) so he and alice go get snacks. they return with hot dogs and coke and this butter-caramel-popcorn mix thing (doesn't taste so bad once you get used to the contrasting tastes).

finally! the thing i've been waiting for! USAIN BOLT runs the final 100m race! needless to say he wins (effortlessly!) but it is very fun to scream and cheer anyway!

now, the crowds have thinned out since most people have gone home. just for today, use of the facilities are free of charge. i immediately try handstands on the blue high jump mats. the Cullens laugh: they can walk on their hands effortlessly. Alice and Emmett try to teach me but i fall every time.

we start to leave once it gets dark. in the car i slump in my seat feeling quite exhausted. "this was the best day ever!" i murmur before i fall asleep.

THE END! hope you liked it!
