I looked at the notification from my phone as I stood at my dads truck. The notification read, "Taylerholder has posted to his story" I quickly opened it and saw he posted the location of where we were.
"Tayler! Seriously? I didn't want people knowing where I was." I dropped my arms down to my side.
"I'm so sorry! I forgot." He rushed to his account and deleted it.
I shook my head and grabbed my helmet. "I'll be back. I'm gonna go ride around for a bit to get some laps in and then go back to the tent for a quick break before it starts." I clipped my helemt on and drove off.
The feeling of being on a track and focusing solely on whats in front of me was the best feeling. Since doing this, i'ce grown to love being so free and feeling the adrenaline run through my body. There's not many words to describe it.
I did 10 laps and decided that was enough to get the jumps down on each hill. I slowly and carefully drove back to the tent and parked my bike.
I chugged a bottle of water while scrolling through my phone.
"What the fuck? Who is that?" I showed my phone to Tayler. It was a picture of a tan, dark haired, thin girl with Vinnie and Thomas. It looked like it was for a vlog.
"That's Nailea. She's a friend of the hype house and Vinnie." Tayler explained.
"No shit." I then searched her on tiktok and videos of her and Vinnie showed up along with fan edits shipping them together.
"I'm sure they're just friends Kai. Plus, why do you even care? You're not with him and I thought you didn't like him like that." Mar chimed in.
"Because Mar, him and I were !just friends' too." I three my water bottle on the ground and put my long sleeve shirt on over my sports bra.
RACERS PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE GATE! WE'L BE STARTING IN 5 MINUTES!
I heard the announcer speak loudly and put my number on my shirt. Marleigh did the same since she was also competing.
Before I took off on my bike Tayler stopped me. "Hey, good luck. Just forget about it all. You're a badass who needs no one." He hugged me and I took off.
As much as I wanted to ignore the drama with Vinnie, I couldn't. I couldn't stand knowing that he was potentially with another girl. Maybe they were just friends, but what if they were more than friends?
I lined up in lane 3 while Mar was in lane 6. This was it. Everything I have ever worked for would be put the test. I needed to qualify. I have to make my dad proud.
RACERS, ARE YOU READY!!! IN 3...2....1...GO!!!
The announcer shot the gun into the air and we were off. It was one lap after the other. All of my jumps were going according to plan. I was in the perfect rhythm. The adrenaline was rushing through my body with every lap and jump I took. I felt so free!
We were in the 2nd to last lap, I was giving it my all. I noticed another racer was close behind me. We were neck and neck.
Towards the end of the track was a hug jump, I had already done this plenty of other laps but because we were almost done with the race my nerves took over.
The person behind me jumped and I jumped and when they turned their front wheel it caught the back of mine which sent me out of control. It launched me forward and threw me to the side of the haybale surrounding the track. My head hit the ground first and then my body followed. My bike crushed my leg...after that it's all a blur.
AHHH THIS IS SUPER SHORT BUTTT NEXT CHAPTER IS COMING SOON!
