A.I. Tech Racing - The Wattpad Series

Chapter 1: "School Days, Drool Days"

FEBRUARY 7, 2032 - 3 MONTHS AFTER THE CRASH

A light brown-haired kid wearing a yellow hoodie was playing video games and wolfing down shredded squid. This was none other than Dokuro Kakuei, the hero of this story.

Kakuei: Man, I never thought something called "shredded squid" would taste so good!

His friend Koki Hidetoshi, a green haired boy wearing a blue T-shirt with a white star on it, was sitting next to him.

Hidetoshi: And just why did you invite us to your house?

Kakuei: So you could watch me get the high score on Super Turbo Racers 20X8.

Hidetoshi: Kakuei, you're always bragging about getting high scores on racing games. Couldn't you play something else? Maybe uhhh, Kawaii Puzzle Poppers?

Kakuei: That game's for dweebs. (shows Koki a bowl of ramen) Heh, have a good-old bowl of Mom's ramen.

Hidetoshi: Yeahh no thanks. I'm trying to watch my weight.

Kakuei: Your loss. *eats the ramen*

Because Kakuei wasn't paying attention, his car (in the game) crashed, resulting in a game over, as expected.

Kakuei: Damn it! This is your fault, Hidetoshi.

Hidetoshi: Well, you should've kept your eyes on the-

Wakumi: Enough, the both of you!

A blond-haired girl wearing a red dress was sitting next to the two of them.

Wakumi: I'm tired of hearing you two arguing over racing games and ramen. Can't you go do something more productive with your lives?

Kakuei: Psssh, generic girl with common sense, am I right?

Wakumi: Wow, rude! Besides, haven't you checked your watch?

Dokuro looked at his watch. It was 9:27, three minutes before school starts.

Kakuei: Oh crap! Uhhh, Koki, finish my food for me.

Hidetoshi: I said, I'm trying to watch my-

But Kakuei had already left.

Hidetoshi: Awww, goodbye green bean diet.

Kakuei hastily put on his shoes, grabbed his goggles, and dashed past his mother.

Ms. Dokuro: Hey, watch it!

Kakuei: I'm running late!

Ms. Dokuro: So?

Kakuei got outside, hopped onto his scooter, and began racing onto the streets of Ryūsei City. He envisioned the drive (or should I say, scooter ride?) there like a big race, his scooter as a racing car and various other drivers racing against him. Kakuei checked his watch again. Two minutes left.

Kakuei: Time for some stunts.

To his luck, he was headed towards a skate park. He did a sick grinding trick on some rails, kickflipped off of them, and did an ollie off a ramp, all with a scooter. Everyone at the skate park was astonished and began cheering.

Kakuei: Heh, thanks for the applause, even though I didn't really need it.

Kakuei proceeded to check his watch a third time. One minute left. He knew he had to go faster. So he got on his scooter, put his foot on the ground, and pushed himself into motion with all of his might. Little did he know that someone was spying on him.

???: I think we have our next driver.

Kakuei was going as fast as he could, trying to get to school on time. 25 seconds. He saw a large rock in his way, and jumped his scooter over it. 20 seconds. Kakuei saw the school in the distance, and went even faster. 15 seconds. But there was a busy street dividing him and the school. Kakuei managed to avoid all the cars in his path. (I'm a lazy writer aren't I?) 10 seconds. The school was getting closer, when suddenly...
