ITALY
14TH RACE WEEKEND OF THE SEASON
SEPTEMBER

"Did you learn anything?"

"No, not really."

"Well done."

I replay the video clip on my phone, laughing as I hear GP essentially tell Max off like a child within a handful of words. Max sounds so annoyed that I kept holding him up. Good. He shouldn't have tried to push his luck during a practice session. I quickly send it to my family group chat - which only contains me and my parents - so they can enjoy how deadpan GP is.

I shouldn't... but I send it to the rookie group chat as well.

GROUP: ROOKIES (&Yuki&Lando&Mick&Danny&Charles)

Fast Rookie (Me);
GP telling Max off is the
highlight of the season.

Best Looking Rookie (Liam);
Someone buy that guy a beer.
What a legend.

Aussie Rookie (Oscar);
"Well done" LMAO
He sounds like a parent when
they say they're not mad, just
Disappointed

Fast Rookie (Me);
"Did you learn anything" LMAO
No, GP, no he did not. He's just
mad he couldn't get past me.

Aussie Rookie (Oscar);
LMAO YOU DID THAT ON
PURPOSE??? LEGEND!!!
I bet he's well fucked off

Best Looking Rookie (Liam);

Jess you are a menace I love it

American Rookie (Logan);
Sorry to ruin the chat: FIA are
mad about traffic today, might
set a min lap time for tomorrow
and maybe the rest of the weekend.

Aussie Rookie (Oscar);
Ah
Fuck

Angry Not Rookie (Yuki);
Good. It was a fucking joke.

I'm halfway through typing my own response to Logan's information when another message appears on my phone. I smirk at it. I knew it was coming.

Vershtoppan (Max);
Open the door.

Jahsica (Me);
Rude. One minute.

So much for any separation, I silently muse as I abandon my phone on the bedside table and go to the door. I barely get it open before everything changes. Max forces his way in, slamming the door shut with one hand; the other pushes me against the nearest wall. There's a darkness to his eyes as he stares me down, expression filled with a mixture of anger and something else.
