CRUEL

[SEASON ONE]

you have been warned.

"So who is going to race the next round?" Dom asked the others. He crossed his arms and looked at them seriously. "Look.. leading the team is a ton of pressure. If you ride alone and fail alone, at least you wouldn't feel so bad... ugh~" he tries to explain. 

Minu looked at the ground. "then I'll go this time. I feel like I need to take responsibility for the team at least once." He decided. Arezou nod understanding.

"By the way, where is Jay? I haven't seen him in a while. Arezou did you see him?" June asked her curious. The girl scoffs at the Thought of the Cruel boy. "He said he wanna learn some stupid things..." she groan. (She didn't ask him why he asks her and not someone else like tea-)

"That nerd! Probably shut himself in some dark corner! Why did he even come here? I don't get it!" Minu was also annoyed.

Tea sighed tiredly. "He never will change huh?" he whispered sadly. (Since elementary school the boy would rather sit in the classroom, where he could learn, instead of going out with him and playing, even when Jay wanted to play his mother wouldn't let him-)

"June."

Arezou looked over her shoulder toward Jay. Her eyes widen at his serious and light Angry Form. It's been a while since she saw him so (Saw him angry-). Maybe it was even her first time.

"Let me borrow your helmet." He asked, but it seems more like a commend for her (He seemed to love commanding people around-). The Iranian girl raised a brow at his unusual behavior. "I never saw him like that..." Shelly whispered in her ear. "I don't think me either." June nods overwhelmed, gave the boy the Helmet. Jay thanked him.

He took off his glasses and give them to Tea. "Take my glasses for a bit." He told his childhood friend. Who just nods, knowing the progress.

Minu looked curious at the glasses. "You always take your glasses off when you ride. Can you see well?" he asked the boy. "They slide down when I sweat and I'm farsighted so I can see things at a distance okay." He told him coldly. 

The others start to cheer him on. But Arezou just looked at him unsure. "Hey. What got into him all of sudden?" Minu asked the others clueless. "I'm not sure... maybe he suddenly got inspired while he was reading," Dom suggested. Tea looked at his Friend. "No, it's more like he is angry at someone..."

"Still, don't you feel secure knowing that he will be riding for us? Till now he has shown no interest at all." Shelly said grinning. Minu nods proudly. "that's true he may be more of a beat that Monster himself." 

Dom and Vinny looked at his statement shocked. "What? Really? He is that good?" Dom asked. Minu sighed at them. "Ah, you and Vinny have never seen Jay in a race have you?" Minu asked them.

Arezou shrugged her shoulders. "Me either but I saw enough to know he is good. But that doesn't change an important fact."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Minu asked confused at her statement. She start walking, looking at the screen where she saw Jay standing on the Starline. (Her Fingers twitch-) "He's still like a stray dog that hunts with his instincts." She informed him.
