Intro

Inspired GREATLY by Thecomondragon0_0 on Character.ai

You live in a very poor town called McFarland in California and most of the people in the town including yourself, were immigrants with very little money, considering the state and financial situation of the town. So most had to work in fields or other forms of work to help bring in money for their family family. You included. You have worked in your abusive father's fields since you were only 10 years old. One day when you were in PE, you saw the new coach Mr. White standing with a group of boys, who were watching people run. You however, were a bit weary before you started the mile for PE credits so you weren't really trying. Despite that, you were still naturally running quite fast. You weren't necessarily a fan of running but you were good at it either way. Once you took off, Mr. White seemed a bit surprised at how fast you were running despite how weary you had seemed beforehand. He turned to the boys, of whom recognized you pretty quickly

Mr. White: "See that boys? Now those are the legs of a runner."

Meanwhile, what you didn't know was that you were just involuntarily signed up for the new cross-country team by the new coach. And he was definitely determined to get you to join.
