"Around to the halfway point, and then up in the air to the finish at the beginning." she said hurriedly, lowering herself down closer to the black winged horse so she wasn't so wind resistant. Straight afterward, her thestral turned, making her sigh in relief for only a moment. Surely the thestral was hearing what they were discussing earlier about the bell at the halfway point right? Hopefully. Otherwise, well, she would be ready.
By now though, her little mistake cost her some lead time, making her practically neck to neck with Lawson. Great. She was hoping she could have kept the distance, but no matter, there was still a lot of race to do.
Coming up close to the second turn, her ears picked up someone yelling, and of course, they were cheering on the Professor. Glancing quickly back to whoever it was, she rolled her eyes before turning her attention back forward. She needed to concentrate! Not become annoyed by Kay...
Kay saw Evelyn look back at her. hehehehe Kay loved it when she made Evelyn mad. Giving her an evil little smiled Kay yelled again.
"GO PROFESSOR YOU CAN DO IT!" heheheheh

They were still neck and neck as they hit the second turn. Okay so halfway up this straight and they would have to go in the air. Something he really was not looking forward to at all.
And it didn't take long before he was hearing the bell to mark the halfway point, "Up in the air" he yelled to the thestral. He had forgotten to tell it that part.
Marcus closed his eyes as he felt the thestral leave the ground and he could hear the flapping of its wings. Crap! Why did he agree to this part? He really hated flying.
At this point, Marcus didn't care whether he won or not he just wanted to get back down on the ground. "Hurry. Pleeeeeeease huuuuurrryyy."
Kay held on to her Thestral and watched the Professor. He was doing great. Kay saw the half way point and Did the Professor just close his eyes? Hoping that he wouldn't fall off.
"COME ON PROFESSOR YOU CAN DO IT!" she called out to him.
"JUST LOOK FORWARD! It WILL BE OK!" Kay yelled. She had seen people who were scaried before.
