Short Story Chapter 2 - 9020 Words

All around them men shouted with glee or frustration, depending who they’d been backing to win the race. Yiannis had been shocked to see how many had turned out to watch. When Fungy had roused him from his bed, where he’d been putting the finishing touches on one of the sketches he’d made the other day, he’d been curious. First, he could hardly believe his friend was up—he hadn’t taken Fungy for an early riser. And secondly, that he’d only gotten up to watch his sister-in-law ride in a race was beyond anything he’d expected of the man. â€Å"It was all the talk at the clubs last night,† Fungy had explained. â€Å"Can’t miss it. She is m’sister, after all.† Yiannis had thrown on some clothes, and they’d been out the door in minutes so as to not miss†¦show more content†¦That was when Yiannis was shocked to find himself among those shouting encouragement to Thalia. He glanced at Fungy. His friend wasn’t shouting, but he was clearly as involved in the race as anyone. His air of ennui was gone, replaced by an intense expression that Yiannis had never thought to see. As Thalia just edged past her opponent to ride through the gate first, Yiannis let out a shout of victory. Even Fungy had a huge grin on his face as Thalia won. He quickly schooled his expression back to impassivity, but Yiannis had seen his joy at her win and felt better about him for it. As she came back through the gate, her hand held high in victory, he and Thalia locked gazes. Her hand immediately fell, and the high color in her beautiful cheeks faded quickly. Yiannis allowed his emotions to rule the day, however, and he gave her a â€Å"huzzah!† and joined in with the applause all around him. The smile returned to Thalia’s face, and she ducked her head in acknowledgment. She then refocused on her opponent, who was gentleman enough to come and acknowledge his defeat. Yiannis could see her congratulate him on a race well run. They chatted and laughed before she dismounted and walked over to join him and Fungy. He could see the exchange of notes out of the corner of his eye as people paid and collected on their debts. â€Å"Please, Fungy,† Thalia said, going first to her brother-in-law. â€Å"You aren’t going to tell Rose are you?† Fungy raised an eyebrow. â€Å"Do you truly thinkShow MoreRelatedShort Story Chapter 21543 Words   |  7 Pagessurface you want to search for old books.
