Chapter 32 The Marathon

The crowd of students moved together in a lively wave toward the school track. The campus had a massive field, and though it was already close to 10:30 p.m.- with dorm curfew hitting at 1:30-it was still packed with people.

Xander was off to the side stretching. He was determined to make a comeback. No way was he going to lose to Cameron twice in one night.

Cameron was stretching too. It was a basic warm-up, the kind any serious runner to avoid pulling a muscle before high-intensity movement.

A bunch of students clustered around to watch, their curiosity buzzing. Someone whispered, "So how are they gonna race?"

Feeling confident, Xander handed the reins over to Cameron. "Pretty boy, your call. How do you wanna do this?"

Cameron's lips tugged into a faint smile. "Marathon."
