Late night drives

V : I won't lose.

I open the door angrily, still processing what just happened. What the fuck was that? What just happened? He did?Did he? I must be dreaming. All that must be a long nightmare. When I raise my head he was laying in his car an annoying proud look on his face.

"You're so previsible". He whispered with his signature smile.

I was pissed that I wanted to erase this stupid smirk off his face. My pride hasn't recovered from the affront I've just experienced. How did I ..? I look at Joshua for half a second. Did I lose?

"So now I can ask for my reward..."Here he goes being provocative again. He was slowly getting closer to me, very close. This boy ignored the concept of personal space. I took a step back. I feel uneasy every time I get close to him, this feeling is not the best.

"What do you want ?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing... I just want to crush the invincible K and you're going to help me with that." What does he mean by a crush?

"W-what?" No. Why does he want that? Does he know anything about... Impossible. I am sure that I was all alone that night. Did he know before?

" You can't refuse it's part of the bet. " I know, I gave him my words. Now, this is turning against me. I can't refuse, can I? I don't even know this man. What can he do? Is he dangerous? Doesn't look like it?

This stupid bet. Why did I agree to do it? I've taken many shitty decisions in my life but that one. That one here has to be the worst ever. Congratulations self.
But why this particular request? The invincible K. I have a feeling that is a personal -not so simple- issue. Should I risk it?

" So you realize that you're not good enough to beat him and now you realize you need my help. Could have asked directly. I am always helping the less fortunate. "
He stayed silent an amused look in his eyes. Oh to make him lose this cocky attitude.

'You have no other choice." How arrogant.

" We will see," I said while maintaining eye contact as long as I could.
I return to my car without adding anything else. I drive back home silently Joshua was looking at me with amazing eyes. I have to figure this out. This boy suddenly appears out of nowhere and asks- I -gulped-lost? And now he's asking to crush K. I will investigate him during the next race. What was his name again? Did it start with what letter? Fuck. Twenty-six letters in this damn alphabet thousands of combinations possible. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I...

"You were so cool back then." I know this was genuine he wasn't just trying to cheer me up. It requires a lot of effort not to smile. Now he's looking at me with bright doe eyes. I have to act fast.

"Shut up. And don't tell anyone that. Gotta maintain my reputation." I put my seat belt on. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. He looked like a child you had seen Santa on Christmas day.
