The 800-meter race was a long-distance running event, and Grace stayed in the top three the moment the gun was fired.
When they reached the second round, her strength began faltering, and her speed gradually slowed.

"Gracie, adjust your breathing and maintain your rhythm. Inhale with every three steps and exhale with three steps ..." His words echoed in Grace's ears, and she began to instinctively adjust her movements and rhythm. She began to speed up slowly.
In the final sprint, Grace crossed the finish line in third place.
"Yay! | can't ... I'm too tired." She panted. "Letrest for a while." "lI want to lie down." As she spoke, Grace's legs buckled, and she was about to collapse on the track.
But in the next second, Xander grabbed her arm.
"You just finished running, and you can't sit down straight away. I'll help you walk slowly. Sit down and rest when you've adjusted." "No, I'm too tired." "It'll be fine. Let's walk slower." Xander held her arm and walked slowly, adjusting his own breathing as well. At that moment, Victor and Caleb ran over and asked in concern, "Gracie, are you okay?" When Grace saw Caleb, her energy was restored. "Caleb, I'm in third place! Don't forget our bet." Caleb smiled knowingly and answered her readily, "Not bad! Not only did you finish running, you even won a prize! Fine, I'll take care of all the snacks you buy this year." "Deal! | also want to eat lots and lots of delicious food!" Grace was delighted.
"No problem." Grace turned to look at Xander. "Xander, what do you want to eat? You don't have to be polite with Caleb. If you hadn't run the last round with me, | definitely wouldn't have been able to last until the end." "Are you okay now?" Xander asked in concern.
"Yes, I'm fine!" she said.

Grace also went into her second year of junior high, but physics becthe bane of her life. She could not muster up any interest initatall.
"Victor, physics is so hard." She pulled a face.
"I really don't want to study this. Can't we just not study physics?" Grace whined.
Victor comforted her. "It's okay. You just have to choose the arts stream in high school. Then, you won't have to study physics anymore." Grace's eyes lit up. "Great! Then, I'll take the arts option and never touch physics again." Yet her spirits immediately dropped again.
"But there are still two more years before high school! What am | going to do for the next two years?" Victor shrugged, indicating that he had no solution for this. Then, he looked away and saw Xander coming toward them.
"Why don't you ask Xander? He's pretty good at physics. Maybe he can help you." Grace looked up at Xander and said pitifully, "Xander, save me!" Xander was confused and asked, "What?" Victor hurriedly cut in to explain, "Gracie hates physics. You're good at physics, so why don't you give her stips so that she can get through the next two years? Then, she just has to choose the arts stream when she gets to high school." Grace sighed deeply again. "Why does a subject like physics exist?" Xander was speechless.
