TRY ME » Vinnie Hacker

4 | Safe And Sound

THE SUN BLAZED ONTO JEDDA'S OLIVE TONED SKIN.

She walked through Central Park for a small change in scenery. The only thing she was thinking about was: cars, motors, gas and... Oregon Fuit.

"Hey!" A voice called from behind her.

Jedda turned around to see Vinnie in a pair of black loose pants with a simple black collared long sleeve. Although it seemed simple, it was quite fancy but sexy all at the same time.

Jedda eyed his face as she waited for him to speak. She dug her shoe into the grass, standing near a big oak tree.

"Walk with me?" He asked while the girl couldn't keep her eyes off of his. They were so mesmerizing and full of curiosity. But sadly, his eyes lingered toward someone else.

"Jedda?" A guy said, interrupting their small conversation.

The girl turned around to notice Emilio. His dark hair was perfectly combed into one of those 50s hairstyles and he wore a zip up hoodie around his shoulders. He was definitely underdressed compared to Vinnie.

Vinnie already tilted his head to the side. Emilio, his new team member that he really didn't seem to get along with in the first place, was obviously trying to get to the girl first. And that pissed him off.

Jedda really intrigued the boy, even though she was completely disinterested in the challenger.

"Would you walk with me, for a minute?" Emilio asked the girl, placing his arm around her shoulders playfully.

Jedda didn't really know Vinnie, so she took the chance to walk with one she trusted.

Vinnie's lips pursed in an irritant manner, staring at the blue eyed boy. His hands fisted into his jean's pockets and his hair strands covered his gorgeous eyes as he was so concentrated on the situation unfolding ahead of him.

"Uh, yeah." Jedda gave in as she stared at Vinnie. She didn't really feel bad, because she doesn't even know the guy, other than that he has an arrogant attitude toward racing.

It's not a bad thing though. Azura explains it as passion. That's why he even made it into the ELITE Team in the first place!

As Emilio turned Jedda around, he couldn't help himself but throw a glance toward the curly haired boy behind them. A jealous one.

New York's skyscrapers were starting to fade into the sky's darkness, as night was waking up.

Jedda walked with Emilio and John, who had eventually joined them.

"I can't believe that I can't be your training partner anymore." Emilio huffed loudly, staring at the normal cars that passed by them on Fifth Avenue.

Jedda nudged the boy in his side, laughing it off. "You're upset! Hah! I have to train with a man I barely even know."

John caught up to the duo after looking through a store's display window. His red vans scraped loudly on the sidewalk as she came to a stop.

"You know, she's right. What if he's a total creep, Emil? Women have to go through that practically their whole lives! Always fearing that an unknown, or also, trusted man will use their body in any type of way or form." John directly told Emilio that, then, looking over at the sheepishly smiling girl.

Jedda reached over toward John, letting her arms wrap around his shoulders like a koala. She couldn't believe his labeled 'Not Made For School' brain was thinking about something so emotionally important.

"Man," Jedda whispered, feeling a sudden wave of shivers go through her body, "protect this man," she talked to herself, almost like she was telling the universe.

She felt John place his hand on her back, patting it gently.

Emilio, standing behind them, quickly but surely hugged the two and created a Hug Sandwich. The best, in Jedda's opinion.

Her friends understood what females went through, and that's why the girls (Azura and Jedda) felt so safe around them.

"If he even puts a finger on you, he'll see the world differently, I promise you." Emilio managed to say, before clearing his throat.

Jedda turned around with a smile, she loved these guys with her entire heart. And nothing would change that.
