~Kawayan's POV~
The entire time I was out on the track for FP3, I could only hear Lando saying I love you. It's like it's ringing in my head. I was so distracted by it that I kept forgetting what Isagani said about my wheels and my understeering. The whole team had heard I wasn't feeling well, so my race engineer had to ask multiple times if I was ok. Not my proudest moment in free practice, but how do you recover from someone saying I love you to you when you're not even dating said person? The answer is you don't, because now I feel weird about it, and I don't know if I want to see Lando for a few days. Why would he say that?
Like I said, Lando and I are not boyfriends. We haven't even gone out on a first date. Sure, I like Lando; I have feelings for Lando, but love? That hasn't been in the question at all. I already know he's going to come looking for me after quali, no matter what results we get. I'm honestly hoping to do more media filming to avoid having that conversation with Lando, or I could go have that dinner with the Ferrari men. Either way, I just need time to collect my thoughts. Anyway, once I'm done with my last lap, I get to the garage to park my car and immediately head to hospitality. Quali doesn't start for another few hours, so I decided to get something to eat enough to hold me over until my racing duties are over for the day. Maybe I can sulk while I'm at it.
I grabbed two oranges and a bottle of water before sitting down at a table in the very corner of the room, away from everyone else. There was only one table filled anyway; it's not like they would tell me to join them. "Is this seat taken?" I felt a hand on my shoulder and a British accent. My muscles became tense. I really didn't want to find out who was talking to me. I should've known my peace wasn't going to last long enough. "Kawayan, hello?" My back was towards the whole hospitality, so I was surprised to see George walk into my view. That's weird; I don't think I've ever talked to the Mercedes driver personally yet. "Oh, no, go ahead, George." When he takes it in front of me, I see that he grabbed the exact same things as me. We have to keep things light.
"So, you're leading the constructors tournament and world champions standings after only two whole races in your rookie year by a large margin; how does that feel?" I wasn't expecting such a question. No one has actually asked me that before, but why is George, of all people, asking me about this? Now I became a bit skeptical. "I'm actually not. I'm tied with Logan Sargeant for the WCS at the moment." I said as a matter of fact as the both of us started peeling our oranges. George was smart enough to use a knife to prevent the peel from getting in his nails. Filipinos learn to eat with our hands; we don't mind it. Saying Logan's name puts a bad taste in my mouth. "That's very much true. Constructors is a different story, though." He's right. Sarao Motors is leading above Williams by 27 points at the moment. It's insane.
"I guess so." I took a second to pause. "Two races doesn't mean anything. We still have the rest of the season to look forward to, with 22 races left. Bianca and I are rookies; no point in getting cocky." George nods my head at my answer, then pops an orange into his mouth. I feel like I'm in a professional interview for Mercedes with fruit. Fucking weird. "Good answer." The Brit said after swallowing his food down. "Do you hope to win the champion tournament?" I had laughed at that. I haven't considered that a possibility. Me winning the championship tournament as a first-year rookie?
