Just friends?

Chapter 1

TUESDAY

"Sky! Are you ready? I don't want to be late! Kelly has been waiting for so long in the lobby."

"Almost done Max. Just give me one little second." A minute later I storm out of my and Max's room, almost running into him. "Okay, I'm done, where are we going?"

"It's an event for both Red Bull and AlphaTauri."

"So there are going to be a lot of people."

"Yes Sky, there are going to be a lot of people."

"Aaand, what if they don't like me?"

"Don't think like that Sky, of course they'll like you."

So me, Sky, 21 years old, sister of Max, has to go to an event with Red Bull and AlphaTauri. Why? Because I said yes when Max asked me if I wanted to come to his races. I wanted to finish school first before I came to every race, and I did. 

I haven't been to a race in 5 years or something. Do I regret saying yes? Maybe yes, I don't like people. I don't know why, I just don't. But don't tell anyone.

I can be really shy, but when I feel comfortable around you I am the most hyperactive and weird person you've ever met.

I do know most of the drivers. Of course, I watch F1, but I have made some friends among the drivers.

First you have my best friend Lando. Not boyfriend, best friend. We get along very well and since he moved to Monaco he comes over every now and then. 

Then Alex, Charles and Daniel. They're also friends. I know Alex and Charles because they live in Monaco and we had a party a year ago. I know Daniel because he is a good friend of Max and he comes over very often. He also lives in Monaco.

I know Carlos, Sebastian, Fernando, Yuki and Mick but they are more like 'I know them but that's it'.

I'm single as a pringle, never had a boyfriend in my life. Daniel always jokes about it, I'm glad he isn't at the event.

After a short drive we arrive at the event. It's in a restaurant and it looks quite big. When we walk inside I see that it's indeed big. Oh no, that's a lot of people.

Max notices it and whispers in my ear: "Don't worry, I mentioned that my sister will come so they expect you here. They won't ask annoying questions like the media."

I grab my food and when I have it all I walk to the corner that looks the loneliest. I feel uncomfortable. There are so many people here, what if they all have an opinion on me, what if they'll judge me on my food. I'll go on my phone, Max will find me when he wants to leave.

When I hear someone putting their plate down close to me I look up from my phone.
