My mind was a breeze, flicking to any jump it felt like. It was unable to keep still, to stay focused, on the present. It was calculating the future jumps.
And it needed to stop. At the moment, Alka was doing almost all of the work as I really couldn’t. It was so hot and I was so nervous that I just wanted to crawl back under my covers that I’d been in a few hours ago. But I couldn’t do that: this was the Cross Country exam. Alice had done it with perfect precision. Elysia had only made one small mistake. Blake had - “Calm down,” I told myself. Too late. I was falling before I realised it. Instinct kicked in and I curled myself up and rolled to spread out the impact. Where on the course was I? We weren’t playing by the normal elimination rules. You earned points for how well you took the jump so where was I? “Alright Alice?” asked Tyra. I nodded so she continued, “You aren’t the first to fall, don’t worry. Check over your horse and walk back to the start.” She walked off, giving me an inkling of the direct I should follow. True, first I need to take care of Alka. He stood a few feet away looking apologic. Murmuring that it wasn’t his fault, I checked him over for any marks. He seemed fine. Sighing in relief, I walked back to the start. It wasn’t that far away which meant I would have got most of my points. After I’d answered questioned from my friends and Pauline had made sure I was ok, the whole class sat down. It was time for the results. It wasn’t just a simple tell you the results and get on with it. Oh no, it was a public announcement affair and they made it was dramatic as the results at the X-Factor. It felt so fake as we got onto the bus to Jorvik City (where the stage is). We were idly chatting but all of us were thinking, who’s getting through? Hi, it’s been three days which I HATE. I love writing but a combination of tiredness (my fault) and the heat (not my fault) has meant that concentrating on a laptop and typing it impossible. So, I wrote this early in the morning because I really wanted to write something.
