Run is iconic and my fav era 🥺 anyone else? Anyways, vote and enjoy!

"A little to the left!" I shout. Two students shift the large banner over.

"Lilo, thanks for helping out with setting up our school sports day." Mr N smiles.

"No problem Mr Namjoon, I know it will be a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll win for our team tomorrow."

"Lilo!" I look to my side and see Tye running towards me. Mr N walks away, making me turn my body. "Hey Tye."

"What happened? You missed our date late week."

"Ugh, I know I... dropped my phone in the toilet, so I couldn't see your texts. I'm really sorry."

"Oh. Well we can always go on another. I'll let you know when I think of something." He smiles, making me nod in agreement.

"Are you taking part in any sports tomorrow? Since this will be our last sports day." He asks.

"Yeah, the track finale. What about you?"

"Same. Actually I'll be playing for all the sports. I wish us both luck, may the best team win." He holds out his hand.

Tye and I will be playing for different teams, but that doesn't mean we can't support each other. I take his hand in mine playfully and shake.

"Let the best team win."

—NEXT DAY—

It's past halfway through sports day, 4 more sports to go until the day is over. The school field is more packed than I could have ever imagined. Hundreds of families are here, so it's really weighing the pressure on me since track is the most important sport of the day.

I watch as Tye and a few other students compete in a soccer game. Tye shoots the last goal and everybody screams in joy. He's not on my team, but I clap and cheer anyway. He's really good at sports.

"Well done Tye, that was flawless!" A random teacher applauds. He pats the sweat off his forehead with a small towel while everyone praises around him. I struggle to take my eyes off his intense veiny muscles that are protruding in his skin.

"Psst! Lilo!" I hear a whisper. I turn and look at Mina who wears a big hoodie that falls over her eyes.

"Mina? Is that you? Why are you wearing that hoodie you're supposed to do track with me soon."

Mina pulls down her hood and I jump. Her hair is an unflattering green colour, looking knotty, thin and damage.

"Oh my God! What happened to your hair?!"

Immediately she throws her hood back up. "My new boyfriend said he likes redheads so I tried dying my hair and this happened! I tried to fix it but I only made it worse and my hair appointment isn't for another week! Not to mention my new boyfriend is supposed to meet me here any minute, so I'm trying to avoid him."

"But what happened to the guy from the party?"

"He has kids. No thank you. But this guy is different, he's really smart and cute."

Suddenly a group of people walk over us. It's Gretchen, Teddy, Winter, Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung.

"Hey Lilo!" Teddy waves.

"W-w-what are you guys doing here?! How did you even find my school?!"

"Gretchen said she was coming, so we tagged along!" Teddy smiles.

I look at Taehyung's hair. Instead of his usual brunette colour, it's dyed a bright red. It looks good, but then again I think any hair colour will suit him.

Jungkook raises an eyebrow at Mina. "Mina what's with the hoodie? Are you chilly?"

Mina pulls down her hood once more and the others jump. "Yikes! Suddenly your way less hot than I remember." She throws her hood up and pulls the strings so it shrinks over her face.

"I'm really sorry Li, but I can't run in the track race looking like this. Oh no! There's Jackson, I gotta go!" She runs off without warning.

"Mina wait—! Ugh this is just great. I'm in charge of team management and that's the third teammate that's quit today!"

"Do you need a cheerleader??" Teddy asks excitedly, "I'm a cheerleader in my school! L.I.L.O. Lilo Lilo, GO GO!"

"Thanks Teddy but I need runners, not cheerleaders."

"Maybe Gretchen can run," Winter says, "since she goes here."

"O-Oh no... I'm not very good at sports, I'm very slow."

"We'll do it." Jungkook says swinging his arms around Jimin and Taehyung. Taehyung's face cringes slightly, keeping his hands in his pockets. "We used to go here. Good times."

"You three used to go to this school? I don't believe it." I say.

"Lilo!" Mr Namjoon approaches us. "Mina just said she's no longer in the race, we need replacements fast! There are only two more sports to go."

"Hey Mr Namjoon." Jimin greets politely.

"Park Jimin? What a pleasure to see you again, what are you doing here?"

"We might fill in for the race sir." He bows.

"Yo Mr N, remember me?" Jungkook says. Mr N fixes his glasses before rubbing his eyebrows. "Ah yes, Jeon Jungkook, how could I forget? You set the fire alarms off every month. I didn't think I'd have to see you again, yet here you are."

"Hey Mr N." Taehyung nudges his chin up.

"Kim Taehyung, another unforgettable face. Can't say my years teaching in this school would be the same without you always skipping my classes."

"I wouldn't forget you either sir, you were my least favourite." He smiles.

Jheeze what a bastard.

Mr N clears his throat. "Well then Lilo, please find some sportswear for these young men ASAP. We don't have much time." He then leaves.

"Your not really racing are you?" I ask Taehyung. "You don't actually have to, I'll get someone else to do it."

"But you need three people right?"

"Yeah but—" a whistle blows, meaning the current sport has finished and the track is next.

"Okay yes go go!" I push him towards the changing room.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ 🌼

The boys step out in head to toe black and white puma. All wearing baggy shorts and a t-shirt. Jungkook wears a white plain bandana around his head meanwhile Taehyung wears a headband under his bangs. It looks really sexy. All three of them look really sexy, I can't help but gulp.

"You guys look great." Teddy claps.

"Hey Lilo, What are these badges for?" Jungkook and Jimin hold up a red badge.

"There are four coloured teams, those mean you're on the red team." I reply. They high five and throw their arms around each other. "Alright team red!"

So that means...

Taehyung holds up a blue badge and looks at me. I hold up the same badge.

"T-That means your on my team."

"Oh bro, you're so going down. Jimin and I are going to ace this thing." Jungkook teases.

Winter holds out her hand. "Now now wait a second. So you two bozo's seriously think you can beat Taehyung? Alright... then let's make this interesting."

"What you thinking babe?" He smirks.

"Let's see... How about... If Taehyung beats either one of you, you gotta wear a princess Jasmine costume and belly dance in front of the cafe for an entire day."

"Is this what you think about in your spare time?" Jimin's eyebrows furrow at Winter while she smirks.

"I thought you were confident about winning? Do we have a deal?"

The two boys look at each other before shaking Winter's hand with confidence.

"PEOPLE DOING THE TRACK RACE FINALE PLEASE GATHER AROUND! I REPEAT—"

"That's us." I sigh.

"Break a leg guys!" Teddy waves. I give the girls a smile and make my way to the starting line.

Before the race starts, I pull Taehyung aside.

"Okay, I know you probably don't wanna do this but we're on the same team, so lucky for you that means you don't actually have to do anything, I'll just win for us. By not doing anything you'd be saving Jungkook and Jimin a lot of embarrassment too. So just... run slow and don't worry about a thing, I've got this race."

Taehyung just stares at me with blank silence, then scoffs the tiniest smirks and brushes past me, leaving me confused.

On my team is Taehyung and another guy, opposing the red which is Jungkook, Jimin and Tye. The other teams consist of boys also, meaning I'm the only female on the track.

"Okay you know what to do!" A teacher shouts. "It's a 100m track, you gotta hold your team baton to the finish line or your place doesn't count! Halfway through the race there will be hurdles! Ready? On your marks!"

We all bend over and touch the ground. Tye looks at me from his spot and winks, making me smile and blush.

"Get set............"

*Bang!*

Immediately I dash, with Jungkook and Jimin at my sides and Tye passing us by a little bit. Everyone in the crowd cheers eagerly. Taehyung's not at our pace, he must have taken my advice.

—AUTHOR'S POV—

The girls all cheer for Lilo, especially Mina. "YEAH YOU GOT THIS LILO!"
Mina jumps from her seat with her fists in the air, causing her hoodie to fall down.

"Mina? Is that you?" At the worst timing, Mina's new boyfriend finds her and steps back in shock, taking one look at her hair.

"Oh, h-hey Jackson..."

"Hi... uh, what happened to your hair?"

"I uh... Just wanted to experiment, y'know? Green is so in right now. But we're still on for coffee later, right? She smiles awkwardly.

"Suuuure I just gotta... Go do something first..." He backs away slowly before running off.

"O-okay, bye!" She waves before throwing her hoodie back on and pulling the strings to hide in embarrassment.

—LILO'S POV—

When we get halfway around the track we are met by hurdles.

Jungkook and Jimin trip over the first hurdle and facepalm the ground. The other boy on my team drops his baton and runs back to pick it up.

"Ohoho that's three runners down! Tye takes the lead with Lilo right behind!"

The screams from the huge crowd are so nerve-racking. You don't even know who they're cheering for.

I try not to lose focus and jump over each hurdle as carefully and quickly as I can.

Out of nowhere, Taehyung meets me on my left, leaping over his hurdles like a professional athlete and throwing me completely off balance. He's not breaking a sweat, and his hair still looks perfect. How is that even possible? I look like a sweaty mess!

For a split second he turns to me and winks, then speeds off like a car.

"What's this?! Taehyung zooms past everyone and takes the lead!!"

That jerk! He didn't listen! We're on the same team, why is he trying to beat me when I told him to just let me win!

Once the hurdles are done I see the finish line at the end of my sight. I don't know what comes over me, but without the need of proper breath, I charge for it like a ball of fire.

Taehyung and Tye are at neck and neck, but I can tell Taehyung can go faster, he's just teasing Tye's speed.

Tye keeps looking at him out of distraction, but Taehyung keeps his eyes locked front ways. I catch up with both of them and the three of us sprint the fastest we can.

I don't care if we're on the same team, there's no way I'm letting Taehyung beat me at my own school when I worked hard to help prepare this!

The crowd screams reach its peak.

"The three are at neck and neck! All holding their baton! They're really pushing for that medal! They're almost there! AND THE WINNER ISSSSS....!"

The crowd jumps in celebration.

I don't even know who won. The moment I cross the finish line I hold my knees and cough over the floor, gasping like a dry fish.

"CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BLUE TEAM!"

YES! I DID IT! I can't believe I won! I—

"In first place, Kim Taehyung! In second place, Lilo Hanson! In third place, Tye Masterson!"

The teacher holds Taehyung's arm up high and presents him with a gold medal.

"WHAT?!" I yell.

The staff soon line me up between Taehyung and Tye. They place a silver medal around my neck and a bronze one around Tye's, Mr N claps for me from afar, but I'm still pissed.

"Silver looks good on you." Taehyung smirks.

"Just shut up. I was supposed to get that gold medal, not you! You don't even care about this race you jerk. I should have never let you do it."

He stares at me as I turn away crossing my arms. The gold medal dangles in front of my face from behind and is dropped it in my hands.

"If you want it that bad, take it. It's cheap anyway." He scoffs in amusement. I turn around and watch him walk away.

Meanwhile the whole time Tye scowls at Taehyung in anger and disgust.
