    ONE AND ONLY

    CHAPTER 26

     

    Bette was pretty certain that out of all her unusual personality traits that simply drove her father insane it was her lack of competitiveness that he found the hardest to accept. This was going through Bette’s mind as she entered the 7th km of the 10 km race on a bright and warm May Sunday in Central Park. She was hoping to go under an hour for the race and so far she was well on course for that. What was surprising her was how much she was enjoying passing other running – she had started slowly but soon got bored of the closeness of other runners so she has turned up her ipod and kicked on her pace. So as far as she was concerned she was flying and was having a ball. She had told herself that an hour – well maybe 58 minutes for her first ever 10km race with only a few weeks of training would be good. But as she ran she was revising downwards her target – 55 minutes would be a nice time. Yes and then it wouldn’t matter if she struggled with the last kilometre because an hour was what she was aiming for wasn’t it ? Well not it wasn’t – she wanted to do this in less than a hour and she was sure as hell not going to slacken off. She would do 56 minutes – yes – 56 minutes was a good number. 58 minutes would look like the last few km were a struggle. Wait a minute – look like to whom exactly ? Who was she doing this running for ? She was doing it for herself – no one else. She was the uncompetitive one remember ? Bette Porter didn’t get all wound up about beating other people – she set her own standards and that was all that mattered. But if she did really well maybe her dad would remember that he had promised her a mini walkman for her running – and if she just picked up her pace a little she could get below 56 minutes. She switched attention back to the people around her – she had long passed the runners dressed as creatures – she was among the runners who took running seriously – not as obsessively serious as the ones who were about a kilometre up on her – they had been running for years and here was Bette who was just a novice at running and she was doing well. Bette kicked her pace on a little – she could feel that her legs would be sore in the morning but now all that mattered was getting passed these few runners and she would have some clear space and she could watch some of the more intense runners who were ahead of her. She had spent so long with her internal debate about how long she would take it took her by surprise to see the 9km marker – hell. She looked at her watch again. 50mins. Wow – that meant she had been averaging 5-6 minutes a kilometre. So if she kicked on and did the same 5-6 minutes she would come in well under an hour- it would be closer to 56 minutes – and that was something that she realised she wanted very much. As Bette started to pass a lot of runners who were all struggling as they came close to the end of the race she realised how much of a buzz this was giving her – this was just one of the best feelings she had ever experienced . She kicked again and saw the finishing line getting closer. Come on Bette – you can do this.

    1. I have just caught up on like 6 or 7 chapters! And I have to say WHOO HOOOO! I’m glad Bette has realized she’s gay and I am super happy that both Bette and Tina feel the same way for each other! I hope they talk and realize the connection they have on their beach trip! PPS!

    2. What an engaging and fun chapter to wake up to on a Saturday morning—I really like how all 4 young characters are developing in their late teen years. Thank goodness Rocky was sound asleep so no messing with the keyboard!

    3. WOW!, you do know how to spring a surprise and make everyone’s day, don’t you. That was terrific AllyE. It is good to know that Bette and Tina do fancy one another and are getting along well. Can hardly wait for the next chapter to see what happens. Thanks for posting.
