Hani felt angry. He wasn’t listening to her!

“Take a week off,” Mr Okombe went on. “Get your head together. I know it’s hard when you have friends and you want to do things with them. But those are the sacrifices a champion has to make.”

Hani wanted to scream at him, “I don’t want to be a champion!” but she didn’t dare.

“I’ll tell your Sunday coach.” Mr Okombe patted her on the shoulder. “You have great talent, Hani. You were born to run. Don’t throw it all away.”

Hani went to find Daisy, who was in the library. “What did Mr Okombe say?” asked Daisy in a low voice.

“It’s no use,” Hani whispered back. “He won’t let me stop.”

“You’ve got to stand up for yourself more,” Daisy said, annoyed. “Honestly, Hani, you’re too nice. Just tell him you’re giving up, once and for all.”

“I tried!” said Hani.

“Well, try harder.” Daisy saw her face. “Oh, look, I’m sorry. I know I’m a bit blunt. But you don’t get anywhere in this life without going out and getting what you want. No one can make you run. What are they going to do, strap rockets to your feet?”

Hani laughed.

The librarian said, “Shhh!”

Daisy smiled at Hani and whispered, “You just have to find something else you want to do, that’s all. Find your passion.”

Hani nodded. Find her passion. It sounded so simple.

But what if your only passion was eating cake?
