MAIA HOANG and OSCAR PIASTRI were inseparable growing up, but not in the way you'd think. the two weren't glued to the hip because they got along-even though they did-but rather so that they could compete over pointless things. who can read a book faster, who can get a better grade on a test, who can shoot the most hoops. everything was a game to the two, always and everyday. when one of them won the challenge of the hour, the other was ready to propose a new one for the two to bet on.
that was how it was for the two of them, that was how they worked. it was a good system, and a good friendship-if they dared to call it that. however, when oscar left for europe to pursue his dream in karting, maia was left with nothing but her studies, and subpar friends who wouldn't match up to her little academic rival.
she'd never say it out loud, but she knew deep down that she missed oscar sometimes. when she would be studying in her university's library, wishing someone would tap her should and say "let's see who can memorize all the terms the fastest, yeah?" or toss her a note in the middle of a lecture with the words bet you some macca's that you can't answer more questions than me this lesson. it was just plain fun, but she didn't have oscar anymore, and she'd have to deal with it.
not that she liked him or anything, she knew that too.
though, what she didn't know was that at the premiere of her big break, she'd see that same familiar face again after all these years, and her memories of a scrawny kid from junior high would resurface like waves crashing on the shore.
