Chapter 2
Trish beat him to the house he kind of let her but he’d never tell her that for two reasons firstly she wouldn’t believe him and secondly she would be down hearted. He always let her win at things like this, when she won she always felt better no matter how she felt before. She had her traditional smug look on but he didn’t care because he knew he’d taken her mind off whatever was bothering her, “well you’d better get the drinks and show me this ride of yours” “Yeah yeah alright I’m going what do you want to drink?” “well you’d better make it a coke and a dash of vodka” “I didn’t know that you drank this early” “yeah well I normally don’t but I need a drink to survive school and you” “Sure sure you’d lose the plot without me, you know you love me” he felt like for a second that he’d said something until weird she smiled “yeah well I still need a drink.” He walked off laughing towards kitchen she followed.
He poured the vodka first “Jesus Travis enough vodka in there for you?” “Well you said you wanted a drink” he said then took the shot and poured a new one. “There is that better for you?” “Yeah I wont breathe fire near open flame now” his choked on his drink from laughing. “You alright Trav?” “Yeah it was just funny that’s all, come on I’ll show you my car come on it’s this way” they walked towards the garage he opened the door and she saw the car.
As she walked along it she ran her hand along the body work looking at the interior she stopped and turned to look at him “well you were right it’s not much now but it’ll be boss when your done and you’d better be taking me for a ride as soon as it’s ready, promise?” “Promise you’ll be the first one in it, other then me of course.” “What does it need?” “Well the body needs work, it needs a heap of engine work and upgrades, maybe a body kit and a sound system for sure” “that’s sounds like it will cost a heap” “no I can get some of them cheap and I can do most of the work my self so that will make it cheap.”
Just then he heard his dad’s car pulling up into the drive way he knew that this meant he’d come early to give Travis his new plugs which was awesome as he needed them to see if the car would turn over and to find out any other problems with it.
“Hey we had better move” they stepped out of the way just in time as his father pulled in to the carport “Before you ask son yes, I’ve got your spark plugs and I thought you might need some piston rings as well so I have those so we’ll take the engine out and rip it apart.” “Sweet thanks” “Hello Patricia how are you? I’m guessing that Travis has been showing off” “I’m really good Mr. Davies and yourself and he’s only been showing off a little but can you blame him” “Come on let all go inside and we’ll all have some food then we’ll work together on the engine, ok?” “That sounds nice Mr. Davies” “Yeah dad that’s cool”
They all went into the kitchen and made sandwiches and they spoke about school and the car and what it needs there was a blank look on Trish’s face when they started to talk about the car’s engine. “Don’t think that your getting away with not helping on the car Trish since you want to be the first in it then you can help build it” “What?! I know nothing about engines what can I possible do?” “well there is no better time to learn Trish” “Travis has a point Patricia it’s a valuable skill to learn and if you want to ride in it then you should build it the same as the rest of us.” “Okay if you guys a willing to teach me and put up with my lack of knowledge then I’d love to learn” “Well that settles that we’ll start as soon as we’ve finished eating okay? And if we work late I’ll take you home.” Travis was a bit uneasy about his dad’s willingness to do the car in fact he was pushing to do it more the Travis. Then again cars were the only thing those two had in common and ever since they finished his dad’s mustang they kind of stopped talking and that was the end of it. They put their plates in the sink and headed back towards the garage to start on the car.
