The race for life short story

1

 Grace's POV

I can't believe I have to do the race with him! He is a rude,arrogant,bully  OK well maybe not the bully part but I hate him but yet I must do the race with him or we will starve I'm sure of that. I have kept an eye on the bank accounts. I know we will starve and I also know that Grayson's family will starve also so I'll do it.  We always have a falling out like today our falling out was about what we were going to do during the race and that is easy  we will do our best but he insists on having a plan.  You see we've called a truce and this truth might be life or death for us and we're super worried.  Okey-dokey the race starts in 30 minutes my gosh I'm nervous. 

Grayson's POV

 The race starts in five minutes and Grace and I are not getting along I mean like we're fixing to be told the directions and she just wants to wing!!! wing it!!! I mean I told myself I'd meet in the middle with her but oh my gosh she is stubborn. 

" listen grace we need to meet in the middle I've told you this already"

" and how do you suppose we do that?"

 "We need to wing it but still follow the directions and rules and read over the directions and rules" 

 "Fine but only because I want no need to win"

" Me too Grace me too"

Grace's POV

That was not so bad he actually had a good idea!! first time for everything I guess. Okey-dokey time to start the race God I'm nervous 

 "On your marks get set go"

 We arrive at our first destination and the first one looks like I don't know a puzzle so we start putting them together. As a team we are pretty good we're done with the first task first and get to the second and we're halfway through the other team arrives and gets done before us. crap now we're behind soon we arrive at the third task the third task is the last task whoever gets done first wins we're really close but we get done slightly before and race to the finish line and oh my God we won we won we won we won we won oh no no no no no no no  we tied with the other team. luckily they took pictures of it so we're going to figure out who won. Well crap

So we wait and wait

 And wait and wait and.......

 "Grayson and Grace win!!!"

 Cheers surround us and I am bawling on Grayson's shoulder and then out of the blue without thinking about it I kiss him straight on the lips and  quickly pull away and then we are being handed the check and  I know everything will be OK
