''You just need to do what you always did, be yourself.'' If it were that easy.

I climb in my car. It's qualifying day, and I'm just a nervous wreck now.

Grey try's everything to calm me down, nothing really worked so far.

''just don't crash'' he says and gives me a thumbs up.

''Good advice, thanks'' I say rolling my eyes.

I'm the third one driving out of their garage, with Charles close behind me. Dinner yesterday was eventful as you could say.

''No, not at all. I like a girl with a good appetite''

''Oh, do you now.'' I smirk at him. I mentally slap myself against the back of my head. I can't start flirting with Charles, even if it doesn't mean anything, and it just for fun. Things will be more complicated.

''Why don't you come with me to dinner?'' he says sitting a little more forward. I put a French fry in my mouth. I smile at him when I swallowed it.

''I'm already eating Leclerc'' I say pointing at the plate Infront of me.

''You took two bites from that; you can't be full of those two bites'' He smirks at me. I think about it. I can interact with the guys as Casandra, and nobody would suspect a thing, I hope. But it will complicate things more. 

''I don't know, it would be weird to go out to dinner with Charlie's teammate and the other drivers'' I say as if I'm concerned about what 'Charlie' would think.

''I don't think he would mind, but if it will make you feel better, I can call him and ask'' Charles says. I get a nervous feeling in my stomach. ''You do that, I must go to the restroom, I'll be right back.'' I smile at him and stand up. When my back is facing him, my smile drops.

Were the hell am I getting myself into. And as I walk in the restroom my phone goes off.

''Hey Charles'' I say in my boy voice.

''Hey Charlie, I have a question''

''yeah sure, shoot''

'' I just ran into your cousin at the restaurant downstairs, and I want to ask if it's okay if I ask her to the driver's dinner.'' He says in one breath.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. '' I don't know man, wouldn't that be weird, she doesn't know anybody.''

''besides you don't even know her, and I don't like the idea of her hanging around you guys'' I say. Hoping he will leave it at this.

''Yeah, I get it, I was just asking. I must go now''

'' alright, bye''

I quickly hang up the phone and put it back in my bag. I wash my hands and walk back to my table, where Charles is still sitting opposite me. I put a smile back on my face and sit down.

''And what did he say?'' I smile, already knowing the answer of course. But I didn't think he would say what he said. I didn't think that my plan would backfire.

''He said yes''

''Charlie are you still there'' I hear Brandon say through my ear peace.

''Yes sorry'' I say slowing down the car a little to take a turn.
