Sparks Fly- L.N

Chapter 2

The race could not have gone worse. Charles had not been able to even start the race; something was wrong with the gearbox. How could this have happened? As Charles came back into the Ferrari garage, he wouldn't speak; he locked himself in his driver's room and didn't respond to anyone. Elenore felt horrible; this was supposed to be his chance at pleasing their home crowd and making their dad proud. But he didn't even get to start. Elenore knew not to bother him when he got mad; it would not end well, and she knew to just let him deal with it himself. Instead, she decided to head to the McLaren garage to cheer on Daniel. Daniel and her has always been close; she has always thought of him like a brother.

As she stepped into the Mclaren garage, she was greeted by Daniel's dad, Joe, whom she also knew very well.
"Elenore! How have you been?"
"Amazing!" She hugged him quickly and asked, "How is Daniel doing?" She quickly turned to look at the screen, realizing that Daniel was in P11, but, get this, Lando was in P3.
"Oh my god," she smiled, "Lando is P3? How is that possible?" She laughed lightly. She believed in Lando, of course, but this seemed almost too good to be true.
"Here, take this." One of the engineers, Jose, handed her a pair of headphones so she would be able to hear Lando's radio.
Lando, you are currently P3, five laps left"
"Come on Lando, bring it home," Elenore mumbeled to herself. Her and Lando were the same age and they both liked golf so they had connected quite quickly during Landos rookie year. Elenore always found Lando to be one of her best friends and Lando felt the same.

One lap passed, it felt like a year. Two laps passed, it felt like a decade. Four laps passed, it felt like an enternity. But soon they realized that Lando was going to succed he was going to get up on that podium. And he passed that finish line, P3.
"Great job Lando, P3!"
Eleonore started jumping up and down, smiling from ear to ear. The mechanics were running out side to greet him, but Elenore stayed behind. One of the engineers grab Elenore and tell her to say something to him, to congratulate him. With a press of a button she was able to speak to him.
"Lando you did it! I am so proud of you!"
"El? Oh my god, El!" You could hear him smiling, "I did it!"
As he pulled up and exited the car he ran to Elenore, hugging her tightly.
"You are amazing Lando!" She grabbed a hold of his shoulders, shaking him lightly.
"Thank you El," he smiled gently at her adn then quickly hurried away to celebrate with the rest of the team.
