Miles from Normal - Lando Norris

4. Alice and Lando

Alice had brought down her headphones and decided to put some music on to try and ignore the boys. There was a big mirror in front of her where she could still see them both in the reflection. Soon, Max Verstappen joined them, and Alice was able to recognize who he was, due to much googling thoroughly each driver competing this season. The boys hugged as if they hadn't seen each other in a very long time.

She saw Max pointing at her while she pretended that she was ignoring them. She could tell that her boys were explaining who she was when Max gestured with his hands that she had big breasts. Lando smiled and nodded with a naughty look on his face. Alice was open-minded and didn't care much about those comments but wondered if she should cover up for the sake of her job.

Charles Leclerc came in shortly after with another man she didn't recognize. Probably someone from Ferrari's team. Gosh, he was so dreamy, Alice thought. They all went through all the motions, again and again, they turned to Alice. She was curious and decided to mute her headphones.

"Man, just broke up with my girlfriend. I could use someone on my team like that." Charles said.

"Why? Do you usually hook up with women on your team?" Daniel asked him.

"All the time! When I was single of course." He said with a wink. That was probably a lie, but he was obligated to say things like that while in public.

Max simply stood with arms crossed nodding his head. Perhaps he wasn't understanding? Or was he just too focussed on Alice?

"Yeah, I keep staring at her. Where the hell do I know her from?" Max finally asked.

"X-Factor." Lando replied dryly

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Saw it on YouTube! She's cool, man."

Alice was getting an ego boost from that conversation. It felt good after feeling so humiliated with how her previous relationship ended. She thought that there was something wrong with her. She wondered if it was because her skin got bad one day and JP was disgusted by it. Now she knew for sure that there was nothing wrong with her, at least physically; JP was simply a dick.

"Give up, guys. She won't even look at any of you and, Lando has a huge crush on her." Daniel stated.

"No, I don't!" He said defensively.

"Dude, if she asked you to bungee jump right now, you'd find the nearest bridge and do it."

Bit of an extreme and elaborate example, Alice found, amused.

"I probably would, but not because I have a crush on her. Besides, I've been chatting with a girl I met on Twitch." Lando said.

Alice felt a bit disappointed by that. She didn't have a single reason to be feeling like that. The boy was handsome and funny, he was bound to find someone sooner or later. She shrugged that thought and decided that gym was becoming more of a sausage fest and left them to it. She was also wondering what the hell Twitch was.

"Bye boys!" She said, waving at them as she walked out.

They all jumped like scared dogs and waved back at her.

"Do you think she heard any of this?" She could overhear Lando asking them as she walked away.

"Nah., she has her headphones on." One of them replied.

Alice went to her room and took a shower, before ordering room service for dinner. She had to publish a couple of posts on the drivers' social media profiles and then interact a bit with the followers' comments.

As she was in her room, she simply wrapped the huge bath towel around her body and sat on her phone, blocking trolls from Instagram and Facebook. As she deleted a very graphic comment from Daniel's Instagram profile, she wondered if people really had nothing better to do than to write such weird stuff.
