Always has been you

Getting to know you better

Amelia:
I was still at the paddock. I was thinking about what Juan told me. That Isaac and I could be something. But nah. He's a driver, and I'm just a normal person. I mean I'm not supermodel or actress. And maybe he has a girlfriend!

Anyway. I was seeing the track. It was empty. No music, no cars, no vroom vroom. And it felt weird. I was sitting through the sits where you watch the race and playing on my phone. Because I was tired and bored.

Isaac:
Again at the paddock. I had to stay here to the paddcok because we did the practice and we had to do a meeting to know how the car is going. After the meeting many workers left. They weren't many people. I was walking around for no reason when I saw.

Amelia, sitting and just watching on her phone. She was dressed with a simple dress, that it was a pastel yellow. Alex told me she looks like a sunflower. And maybe he was right. She looks like a sunflower.

I didn't have nothing to do so, I went up to her. I was next to her. She didn't realised until I asked.

"Where's your guitar?"
She looked up and saw me. She gave me a smile.

"Well my guitar is at home"

"Can I sit next to you?" I asked pointing at the chair next to her.

"Yeah.."
I sat next to her. We were silent, I mean I didn't know how to start. But then I had the courage and asked.

"What do you think?"

"About the track or about the car?"

"About everything"

"Amazing! Seeing cars. Drivers and many people. It's just wow"
And again it was that silent that I hated. I mean we hate. She was looking at the track as it was a star. I was thinking savour how I met this crazy girl. I mean right now she isn't crazy anymore. I mean she makes me curious about her.

"So, how are you?" She asked without looking me.

"Fine, why?"

"Because the last race you told me that you are scared to be out of the team. And I want to have confidence about this race"

"That's what my coach told me. The answer of your question is that I'm little bit scared. And I'm trying to find confidence"
I looked again at the track. And suddenly I feel a cold hand on my shoulder and then tapping it.

I look at Amelia, she was the one who has her hand on my shoulder. She looked at me, and I looked at her.

"The confidence will come soon. And besides the season will end soon. So I don't believe that Zack Carter will take you out."

"Maybe you are right. But, let's talk about you. Like I barely know you, when did you started to play at the guitar?"

"If you think that not talking about what you scared will not be erased."

"Well I'm tired of talking this bullshit about my future in Formula 1. And besides I barely know you. I can't be open with someone that I barely know."

"Well you have the opportunity now" she said and she sits more in front of me.

It was a silent, she was waiting for me to ask something. I took a deep breath.

"So when did you start playing the guitar?" I asked.

"I was ten. And believe me, at first I didn't like it"

"Why?"

"Well my mom wanted to see what I'm good at it. And she rolled me in guitar. And I wanted to give up because my fingers were hurting so bad because of the strings."

"And why did you still stayed?"

"Well many people in my town said I'm not good enough, and I wanted to prove them wrong. So as you do" she said and tapped me on the shoulder and gaved me a smile.

"I'm trying just to stay here"

"Well, I want to be angry. And like, I want people to know you that your are dangerous. And in this race you have to"

"Well that's a big dream"

"For me it isn't, and you will show them"

"Fine, I will do" and looked at her smiling.

"What do you do for living?" I asked.

"Well I teach kids to play the guitar."

"Really?"

"Yes, I  make good money"

"Soo how did you camed at the Mexican Grand Prix if you didn't have a ticket?"

"Well I had a ticket"

"And how come your family didn't come"

"Because my mom went there and I wanted to know if she has someone."

"And how you camed at the paddock?"

"Let's just say that the guardian was nice to me."

"Fine, let's just say that."

It started to get darker. The sky was blue, without any lighting. I get up and asked.

"I will go, are you staying?"

"No"

She got up quickly and we both went walking. Until we had to separate our ways. We both said goodbye and went few steps.

"Isaac!" Someone yelled.
I turn back and saw Amelia.

"What?"

"Do your best at this race!" She said and pointing with the thumb up.👍🏻
I gave her a big smile and went on. We both went walking in separate ways.
