Racing Andrius

A Challenge Unmet

A motorcycle slowed to a stop next to the curb and a tall handsome boy jumped off and Cassio ran to meet the boy to give him a bro hug.

"Good to see you again Andrius," Cassio said and patted Andrius on the shoulder, "thanks for coming out,"

"So you're Andrius, the so-called king. I challenge you to a race for your title," Davies called but Andrius showed no signs that he heard.

"It's no problem, always ready to help a friend. So, what did you need help with?" Andrius said

"I think there might be something wrong with the engine, it makes a weird noise when it starts,"

"Hmm, let me check it out,"

"Hey, did you do not hear me?" Davies said again and began to walk over.

"No wait..." Peter said,

"Taking the motorcycle out on a run?" Cassio said and Andrius laughed softly.

"Start the car," Andrius said, and Cassio did, it made a noise that sounded like rattling peanuts, "Pop open the hood...silly,"

The hood sprung open, and Cassio turned off the car again then started it. Andrius carefully examined the engine then said, "Turn it off," Then Andrius walked back into his vehicle and took out several tools and begun fixing the car.

"So figured it out," Cassio said

"Obviously,"

"What was it?"

"Loose bolts..." Andrius muttered then continued his work

"Yo Andy,"

Everyone was dead silent and Andrius froze. Cassio carefully glanced at Andrius and turned towards Davies.

"Go home Davies,"

"I ain't talking to you loser. Yo Andy,"

Andrius gripped his wrench tighter until his knuckles turned white. Now Davies was only 2 feet away from Andrius with Cassio in the middle.

"I said go home!" Cassio said louder

"Get out of the way, you are not my mother," Davies said and shoved Cassio to the side. "Yo-"

But before Davies could finish, Andrius gripped Davies' throat and looked at him with eyes filled with pure menace. "It's Andrius to you," then thrust his hand away leaving Davies scrambled backwards to regain his balance but he still fell.

"Dude what is your problem?" Davies said getting up, but before the two could start fighting, Cassio jumped in between them and looked at Andrius.

"You're the one that needs to calm down," Cassio said and Andrius glared at him then slammed the hood shut.

"I'm done, see you tomorrow." Andrius said and walked back to his motorcycle.

"Hey, you can't leave," Davies said and started to follow Andrius

"Stand down idiot," Cassio hissed

Andrius got back into his motorcycle and put on his helmet and said, "Actually I can,"

"You-" but before Davies could continue, Cassio knocked him out.

"Cassio, you can't just knock people out," Peter said exasperated.

"Later Pete," Cassio said and jumped back into his car

"Bye..." Peter said and watched Cassio drive away. Peter looked at the limp body of Davies and dragged him back onto the grass before saying, "What can I say, you had it coming..."
