The Fast And The Furious Girl

2.1

(Brian P.O.V.)

I pull up to the race, thinking that this is where I belong. I get out of my 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse and sit on the hood. Then a Spanish looking man walks up to me, with a crowd following him, eyeballing my car.

"Hold up, hold up. Look at this snowman right here, man. Sweet ride. What you running under there man?" The man asks me. I just smirk at him. "Going to make me find out the hard way?" The man asks.
"Hell yeah," I answer.
"You brave. You brave. They call me Hector. I got a last name, too, but I can't pronounce it." Hector tells me.
"Brian Spilner," I say as we bro hug.
"Typical white-boy name. Know what I'm saying? See that over there? That's mine. My baby. I ain't cutting her loose tonight." Hector says, pointing over at his car.
"Why not?" I ask.
"I'm going legit, homey. Trying to get on the NIRA circuit. Heard about that?" Hector asks.
"Hell, yeah," I answer.
"So, what's up with you, man?" Hector asks.
"I'm just waiting on Toretto," I answer.
"Which one?" Hector asks.
"Dom." I answer, thinking "who was the other one that raced. Mia or August?"

"Shit. Better get in line. This yours?" Some black dude asks before I can ask about who the other Toretto is.
"I'm standing next to it," I answer.
"That's funny. You know, Edwin happens to know a few things. And one of the things Edwin knows is: It's not how you stand by your car ...... it's how you race your car. You better learn that. Oh, shit. Here they come. It's on." Edwin tells me, as we here the purr of five or six engines entering the road in a 1,2,2,1 formation.

All the cars pull to a stop in the middle of the road. Dom gets out of the car in the front and is immediately swarmed by two racer chasers. I see Letty, then Vince, then Leon, then Jesse, and lastly August and Mia get out of their cars. My guess is the other Toretto is August since Mia rode with her.

August looked cute in her t-shirt, short shorts, beanie, and converse. I wish she would give me a chance. Every time I tried to flirt with her, she blew me off. So, I started flirting with Mia in hope of making August jealous, but so far it hasn't worked.

I watch as Letty heads towards Dom, with a pissed off expression on her face.

(August P.O.V.)

We arrive at the race. We pulled up in our usual formation. 1,2,2,1. Dom got out of his car in the front, then Letty, then Vince, then Leon, then Jesse, and lastly Mia and I get out of my car, in our normal formation. Mia and I walk over to Letty. I look around and to my surprise I see Brian. Letty starts to walk towards Dom.

"Looks like surfer boy has found us once again," I say, nudging Mia and making her look in his direction letting her know that he was here. Mia and I then follow after Letty. Dom has two racer chasers on his arms.

"Hey, Dom. How you doing?" Camille, a racer chaser asks.
"Hey, Camille. You been doing yoga? You did? Of course, you did. Monica." Dom says.
"Rawr! I smell *sniff sniff* skanks." Letty says "Why don't you girls pack it up, before I leave tread marks on your face? Okay?" Letty says. They get up and walk away. "Rawr!" I say as they pass me.
"Letty, I was just talking," Dom says.
"Yeah. Whatever." Letty says and we both roll our eyes.

"Okay, Hector," Dom says ready to get the race going.
"Yeah? What's up, man?" Hector asks.
"Yo. What's up?" Edwin asks.
"Edwin," Dom says while bro hugging with Edwin.
"How we doing this tonight?" Edwin asks.
"One race. $2,000 buy-in. Winner takes all. Hector, you're going to hold the cash. You in Aug?" Dom says.
"No. I'm good," I say, shaking my head no. I was just going to watch.
"Why Hector?" The other racer asks. They all hand their money to Hector.
"Too slow to make away with the money." Edwin answers.
"Okay. Good luck, guys." Hector says.
"Good luck, Dom," I say.

I turn around to see Brian making his way through the crowd. He looks like he's in a hurry.
