Ryan's POV

"This contestant's vehicle is rudimentary at best, and the design of the turning system is flawed to such a degree that it should be grounds for total disqualification," Matthew Bedford says confidently into the microphone. The crowd gasps in unison in surprise at the harsh critique of Ethan's work.

All the other judges had been impressed by Ethan's vehicle. Not just impressed, but blown away! The other three judges had had nothing but positive things to say.

They had each given Ethan a perfect score of 10 out of 10!

Ethan's vehicle had performed so well on the course, the dominance of it against the other competitors was undeniable!

Except, apparently, to Matthew Bedford,

'But I made the turning system like that because-" Ethan started to say, his little voice shaking with nerves.

"It is flawed, young man!" Matthew Bedford replies loudly, speaking over the boy, not caring about his counter argument.

"But, please if you just listen-" Ethan begins, frustration growing on his little face.

"Do you dare contest my opinion as a judge?! Such arrogance from someone who knows so very little!" Matthew's voice is cold and full of venom.

I know that Bedford is full of shit! Ethan has spent weeks studying turning systems for vehicles. I know this because I have been there with him at every step of the way, guiding his research and answering his questions. I bet that Bedford doesn't even know enough about vehicles to tell an axle from a tailpipe! All of the things that he's criticizing about Ethan's design make it clear how little Matthew Bedford actually knows about the subject. He's not even qualified to sit on this panel! How did he even get selected for this judging in the first place?!

But I can see by the look on Ethan's face that the boy trusts Matthew Bedford's opinion since he is an adult and a judge. Ethan looks devastated, like his heart is breaking open in front of this very large crowd. But he isn't crying. He isn't running away.
