The Enemy of Trade

37

-Evren Black-

I raced down the street, the first turn coming to view. Watchers pointed us in the direction of the track, we followed.

"I won't be able to hear you, but you can hear me. You got this baby!" Aster said in my ear.

Realizing I actually did have this, I took the ear piece out and tossed it in the passenger seat.

I looked in my mirror to see Katy beating her steering wheel as she couldn't gain any speed on me.

I expertly turned the wheel, holding the hand brake and stilling my back tires.

I rounded the corner on the inside, blocking her from her advantage.

I straightened out and continued forward. We were moving away from the closed off area towards main roads, luckily, they were empty.

We went under some bridges and past many apartment buildings before riding along the edge of the Hudson.

Our next turn would leave us heading back in the direction of the party. And another mile down, I started seeing people running towards the finish.

Katy started advancing on me. I was already going the max, and she was steadily moving past me.

"You are not getting my boyfriend whore." I said to myself and flipped the clear top from the red button.

I waited till I saw her mirror lined up with the front headlight before pressing it.

I sped past her and kept the car controlled.

Two more miles down from where we were and I could see the girl from the start waving a black and white checkered flag.

The boys were jumping and waving and cheering.

I let go of the nitrous button and started to slow. Everyone cleared the road when they realized I wasn't slowing down quick enough.

At around 95 mph, I passed the finish line in first place.

I stilled my tires to help me slow before I did a quick turn and headed back in their direction.

Aster and JJ were cheering, waiting for me to get out as I parked the car.

Katy sat in her car, beating the steering wheel as her tires smoked.

I got out and jumped into Asters arms, our lips smashing together.

He slowly put me down, breaking the kiss, "Told you. I knew you had it." He whispered.

I shook my head, a laugh raining through me as he pressed our foreheads together.

"YOU BITCH!"

I turned around to find Katy yelling. She forced herself from someone's grip.

"You fucked up my car!"

I crossed my arms, "What's the point of lying? You lost."

She scoffed, "Yeah because you fucked with my motor!" She lunged for me but Aster moved me behind him.

"No one touched your car Katy." He didn't let go of me even as I stood behind him.

"She fucking did." She pointed an accusing finger at me.

Ozzy stepped up, "Hey! This can all be figured out quickly. I have cameras set up all around here, and there was one on the dashboard of Evren's. You guys cars were parked right next to each other."

But as Ozzy was speaking, Katy was now next to me, her hand in my hair.

"TELL THE TRUTH." She pulled my hair.
