I stepped off the bus and headed for the pool with my friends, concentrating on what I needed to do to win this swimming competition.
I jumped in the water, amid(在……中）screams of" Oh man, it's freezing", and found it wasn't too bad. I started to warm up, and noticed the sky getting gray. "It's going to rain, "my friend Ashley said behind me. "Let's pray for no thunder or lightning, "I replied. "This meet can't be canceled. "That was when I noticed his uneasiness. "What's wrong?"I asked.
He looked over at the other team and back at me, saying, "Their 50m freestyle swimmer, Jack, is talking something bad about you. He said you'd be a good swimmer if you didn't swim like a girl. And he's not only saying something bad about you, but everyone of us. "Ashley gave me a look of encouragement and added, "Tom, you'd better swim as fast as possible and beat him. Show him who's the boss!"
My event was third. By that time, all my friends had shown up and I was preparing for my 50m freestyle sprint(冲刺）。I walked over to the blocks(起跑器）and began to prepare myself.
"You think you actually have a chance?" came an aggressive voice from my side. I turned and recognized the guy who Ashley had pointed at. It was Jack, who added, "Don't even try. "Luckily, I was not alone. My friends were close by.
"My friend is going to beat you, "Ashley warned. Jack replied, "That's a good one. We'll settle this in the water. "
"Swimmers up!" the official called. I stepped onto the starting block and prepared for the race.
That was when all my friends started to cheer me on. I focused all my attention and followed the official's order, "Take your mark." I bent down into my starting position, the cheering around me growing louder.
