Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

On the sign up sheet, the most glaringly empty spot was for the women’s two mile run. It was the least popular event, and everyone chose to ignore it.

As Briar was the last one to arrive, all the easier events had already been taken by the time she got there.

When Arlene handed her the sign–up sheet, the long, empty section for the women’s two–mile run was right there in her face, like it was just waiting for

her.

Briar stared at it and could not help but wonder, ‘Do I even get a choice here?

‘Looks like they’ve already decided for me.‘

Noticing Briar staring at the sign–up sheet without blinking, Arlene thought she might give up. Quickly, she put on her best pleading face and said, “Briar, how about considering signing up for the women’s two–mile run? No one else wants to do it, and we can’t just leave this event empty forever, right? Please, please!”

Before Briar could say anything, someone nearby jumped in to help persuade her, “Yeah, Briar, you’re the campus belle of Shoneport University no should take the lead and sign up for school events!”

“Yeah, if you sign up, then- then I’ll join too,” another girl added.

A third person chimed in, “I’ll sign up as well.”

Arlene persuaded, “Now we’ve already got three girls signed up, Briar. Why don’t you join too? Winning or not is another story. It’s all about taking part!”

Everyone started talking over each other, obviously ganging up to push Briar into taking on the spot.

Briar glanced around at the people making sarcastic comments. As her gaze swept over them, they all avoided her eyes. She gave a short laugh, “Alright, I never said I wouldn’t sign up. Put me down for the women’s two–mile run.”

Arlene didn’t care about the kind of drama that was going on behind the scenes. As long as she could get all the events on the sign–up sheet filled and

handed in without a hitch, that was good enough for her.

Everyone had a valid point. Briar was now the campus belle at Shoneport University, and her example truly mattered.

As expected, all those girls who’d been chiming in earlier suddenly volunteered to join the moment Briar’s name went down. That made Arlene absolutely over the moon.
