Lakeside Junior High School 45

they hadn’t seen each other in a long time. People were coming up to my friend (Lilani) and I

(Robin) like they knew us and we all got along. As me and Lilani was going to the outdoor area

where we had our first race, we stopped by a food stand from our school. We decided to stop for

some barbecue and drinks. We couldn’t resist the smell of the fresh barbecue sauce drizzled on

top of freshly cooked meat. I didn’t eat as much but Lilani ate all of it.

At last, we made it surprisingly within the short amount of time we had. I was up first,

and the weeks before the event, we had practiced, so I was super confident. I made it through the

whole contest super fast. I felt the breeze through my body as I passed my contestants. I passed

the baton to Lilani, but she was holding her stomach before I gave it to her. I didn’t think much

of it because she was going as fast as I did from the start, but then she started slowing down

holding her stomach with a nasty look on her face. She was so close but then the other schools

started catching up. She ended up in last place. We were so upset, confused, and worried as to

why she slowed down. When we asked her, she looked up with a red face and PUKED ALL

OVER ME! I was super disgusted. I felt the hot sun shining on me and the warm chunky liquid

all over me. I smelled like rotting food that had been left out for a decade. I got cleaned up

during the event, and Lilani got sent home because of her stomach ache from the barbecue we

had earlier.

Traditions are both fun and loving experiences, but they can turn out rather bad.

Traditions are always personal and it is what they mean to you and your surroundings.
