"I'm sorry," the coach had said. Those words had lingered in Ben's head all day. The track team had made their decision. He was not one of them. He stared at his running shoes.

He decided to go to his favorite place – the library. He had always loved books. He spent hours getting lost in stories. It was a feeling he treasured. He picked a book that he had always wanted to read and went to a quiet corner.

He thought of the writing workshop he had signed up for. He felt a calmness he hadn't experienced in months. He could immerse himself in words, create worlds, and tell stories. He felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
