Eva: The New Prince

A few weeks later:

The roads had been vacant ever since we passed the last intersection. The sky had darkened significantly ever since the sun was swallowed by the trees. We drove quickly along the desolate road, and I started to regret on my decision of agreeing to spectate the annual Courtley University Circuit competition.

"Eva, you look so tense. Loosen up girl!" A fair blonde girl said looking at me from the driver's rearview mirror.

"Be quiet Brittney, remember she's never been to one of these things before. You have nothing to worry about Eva, I think you will have a blast."

"Yeah," I chuckled nervously.

Brittney and Morgan were my dormmates and ever since they found out that I did not know what the Circuit was, they had been begging me to go with them from dawn till dusk. Today I finally agreed...by accident. In my defense, I was in a rush to leave...

"Eva, you'll love it at the Circuit!" Brittney had said

"Almost the whole school will be attending!" Morgan continued

"There will be so many cute boys there,"

"I bet we can seize this chance and find our prom partners!"

"Eva, pretty please. I assure you; you will not regret it."

"Evaaaaa! Are you even paying attention?"

"Yes, I am." I said exasperated.

"Today is a great day since its a more advanced race, we don't have to stay for long. We just want to bring you over so you can be...well...involved in college life," pleaded Morgan

"Come on, please. I'll drive,"

"Yeah, whatever, I have to run sorry." I said and hurried out the door and as it closed, I remember hearing Brittney squeal.

"She said yess!!!"

I breathed heavily through my nose and stared at the stars that were starting to speckle the night sky. It had been a while since I saw these many stars. In the city, the light pollution takes away from the beauty hidden on the dark blue canvas.

"We're heeerrre!" Morgan sang as we turned onto the side of the road behind several other cars.

Crowds of people lined the sides of the road, and 4 cars were parked on the road with two in each lane. Then it clicked.

"Wait Morgan, don't tell me the Circuit is street racing."

"K, I won't" she smiled at me cheekily

"Isn't it illegal? Why didn't you guys tell me?"

"If we told you, then you would never come miss goody two shoes," Brittney said and waved to a group of kids.

I scanned the spectators and realized that majority of them were all from our college except for a few who I assumed were specially invited. As I looked over the faces one more time, I realized that I didn't know anyone else except for Morgan and Brittney. My hands went numb, and the wind felt colder as I realized faces were slowly turning towards me and my friends.

"Brittney!" a girl came over and hugged her then multiple other encircled her greeting her like she was a celebrity, which she might as well be. Brittney was a major in theatre and she always was in the lead roles so nearly the entire school knew who she was. Morgan on the other hand was a fashion major and like me, was lesser known.
