Amy ran from the top of the steep sand hill,dodging
sharp
shells, her feet burning on the scorching sand.The only
thing in her mind was to dive into the water and get
the perfect breast-stroke.She performed an awkward dive
into the surprisingly cold sea,salty water filled her nose
and mouth and she spluttered while her brother Aran laughed
at her while lyng on his surfboard."Good one Amy!Maybe
next time you can actually begin the breast-stroke,even
though I am 100% sure that you are going to beat the
amazing Sophie Field in the competition."He sniggered
sarcastically tossing his wet blonde hair.
"How about you...you...shut up!"
"Wow,was that a threat little miss determination,I
better be off and practise at a sport I'm actually Good at."
Amy glared at him while he swam away.She used to get
on so well with her brother when they were younger but
since he turned 13 it had all been sibling rivalry and he
liked to torment her.He loved the fact that he got all his
dad's good looks,tanned and blonde and Amy got her mum's
ugly black hair and god knows who's unco-ordinated freckles
and sickly pale skin to match.
She walked up to their beach house.Aran was right
about one thing,she was no way near as good as the stuck-up
Sophie Fields and never will be,she just doesn't have
the act for it.She had the act for snooker though,but that
was when they all lived in England and since she moved to
Australia swimming was the big thing.She met Sophie on the
way home with her gang of snooty suck-ups,Emma,Sheila and
Wendy.Her strong,loud australian
accent rattled Amy everytime they met."Amy!""YES!"said Amy
frustated and startled.
"Are you still in the competition tomorrow?It is a
pretty big event around here and we saw you do that dive
there and if you don't mind me saying so but it was rubbish!
"Rubbish!"mimicked the gang.
Amy rolled her eyes and thought of an excuse."I was just
practising an old English dive,it takes alot out of you so
it's bad for you if you continue swimming after,that's why
I got out."
"Oh very good,i hope you do it in the competition too,but
we won't we waiting for you when you take your little
break."Amy cringed and stomped inside.
Everybody was being horrible to her,all she was doing was
trying to compete in a swimming competition for a bit
of fun.Who cares if she isn't that good,but secretly she
wanted to win and show everybody up!"
Her mother waltzed in putting on a cheery australian
accent."Hiya Shiela coming in for a bite?"
"My name is Amy and I'm not hungry."
She put back on her normal mum voice."Your nervous about
tomorrow."
"I'm no good,Sophie...""Who cares about Sophie,just go and
have fun,if your not hungry I think you should go to your
room and rest for tomorrow,it's early but i swear it will
do you a world of good."Amy did as she was told and went
for a nap.She woke at 11.00 at night,worrying about
tomorrow,a big competition and she could hardly swim.No
doubt her brother booing her from the sidelines as usual,
that loses her confidence altogether.She spotted a shooting
star and found her chance to change her luck."I wish I was
the best swimmer in the world and Sophie done an "old
English dive" and came in last place and Aran wasn't here!"
She sank fast asleep because the star gave a
reassuring twinkle as if to say "Your wish is my command!"
She woke up,confident about today.She put on her
swimming suit and shorts over it.Her mum drove her to the
swimming pool."Your dad is meeting us at the swimming
pool.I don't know where Aran is he told me yesterday he is
to walk to the pool because he wanted to get up early so
he'll be there."Amy thought for a moment about her
wish."Have you seen him anytime today?"
"No,but I'm sure he's fine."They arrived at the pool,Amy
ran to the chanher mum called to her."Your dad's in the stands
we'll be watching,good luck!"She stood at the edge of the
pool.Sophie beside her.The whistle blew and Amy did an
incredible dive and from the strange splash beside
her,Sophie did a terrible one.She swam quite easily infront
of everybody all the way and back again and before she knew
it she had won!"Amy felt a rush of excitement,but for only
a second.She noticed Sophie came in dead last and then she
looked up and saw her mum@s eyes brimming with tears and
her dad nervous
on the phone.Her mum was mouthing"Aran has dissapeared!"
Amy felt wrong about winning.Sophie was a cow but she
deserved to win,and now she may not ever see her brother
The day rewinded and Amy found herself standing at the
edge of the pool the whistle blew she dived,a normal
dive.She swam and swam but didn't care what place she was
in,all she could here was her brother screaming."Go on Amy!"
