"Bell, hurry up you're going to miss it!" Louis yelled from the door making me even more frustrated. 

"Where is my damn helmet, i can't find it anywhere." I search frantically, messing up my already messy dorm room.

"Have you looked under the bed maybe?" he smirks at me thinking he knows everything. 

"i don't think it's the-" I stop talking when i find it hidden beside a couple of boxes under my bed. I sigh, rising up from my crouching holding it in my hand and running to the door not bothering to stop and hear Louis' snarky comment.

Louis walks up behind me, surprising me when he throws the keys sending them plummeting through the air and hitting me in the head. I curse him out, bending down to pick up the fallen keys, my head throbbing from the stupid hit Louis gave me. We then power walk to the parking lot of our campus, I look around for Betsy smiling when i see the shiny black vehicle sitting in one of the empty spots. I hop on and insert my keys in the motorcycle, bring the beauty to life. Louis hops on behind me automatically placing his hands around my waist.

We drive past our university and into the highway, the air blowing in our face making us feel refreshed. We drive past hundreds of cars, till we reach the racing grounds where people were already piling up filling up the seats. I've been racing since i was sixteen, but this was my first illegal race where we actually win a prize if we win. These types of competitions happen every two or three months depending on how the creators would prefer to them to be. This was my chance to win it all. 

Louis gets off the bike, heading straight to the front row seats , ready to cheer me on. I drive to the start line and patiently wait for the other contestants. The seats begin to fill even more and soon the other racers join me on the starting line. The host's voice rang through the arena as some of the racers start putting their helmets on. 

"Welcome everyone to the first race in this year's competitions. As you can see the racers are all in place preparing to smash this race, not literally i hope." The crowd laughs admiring his humor while i roll my eyes at the silly joke. 

"Anyways, on the left we've got Martha Smasher, known for smashing any obstacle that comes in her way. Next up we've got Albert..." He keeps rambling while i zone him out watching the obstacle course in front of me, i hear my name being called and i turn my attention back to him. 

"On the far right we've got Bella Peters in her first ever race and next to her is the incredibly charming, unbeatable Harry Styles!" The crowd cheers for him more than they cheered for anyone, i frown at him as he grins wildly showing off his pearly whites and dimples as he bows down accepting the praise, his ego practically oozing out of him.

The Harry dude smirks at me while i get ready, putting my foot on the floor to stabilize my bike. I keep looking at him trying to intimidate him.

"Take a picture it'll last longer." He poses as if he's some type of model. Laughing obnoxiously.

"Trust me, after this race you won't be laughing anymore pretty boy." I smirk at him. "Oh and by the way don't forget to put your helmet on, don't want that big head of yours to crack now would we?" I slyly smile at him turning my head to place it inside the helmet. I hear him laugh behind me, pissing me off even more. 

"So you think you can actually beat me?" He puts his helmet on, hiding his face from me.

"Oh, i know i can beat you. Just watch and learn." I rev the engine and pet my bike lovingly.

"We'll see about that." He sarcastically says. I ignore him and get ready to show him what i'm made of.

The announcer starts counting down and i put my foot on the pedal. The bell rings and i immediately press on it and move forward as fast as i can. I get ahead o the line and avoid the first obstacle with ease.

A green motorcycle catches up to me and i recognize the color as Harry's bike. When the drift came Harry closes up to me but I increase my speed and turn to my right surpassing Harry and avoiding his distraction. The crowd goes wild, chanting Harry's name over and over. I finish my lap and get going on my second. Harry is right behind me but i know I've got this in the bag.

I can feel the speed of my bike and i smile loving the feeling i get driving freely without any restrictions. I pass all the obstacles easily. I've practiced for months and this was my chance to win it all. I won't let some egotistical asshole beat me.

I hear the screams of the crowd as we near the end, my heart thumps loudly in my chest and i feel ecstatic knowing i'm nearing the end. I finally cross the line with Harry only a few seconds away from me, followed by the other racers.

I recognize Louis' loud as fuck voice shouting my name along with a bunch of other people. I smile brightly as i take off my helmet making my hair blow in the wind, like a cliche movie shot.

"Unbelievable! Belle Peters has beat the unbeatable Harry Styles in his own game. What an epic race! Bella is the winner of the five thousand dollars award along with bragging rights. Until next time, see ya later homies, I'm out!"

I accept the large envelope while Louis runs from the seats and hugs me tightly, he the takes the money and starts kissing it. 

"What the actual fuck just happened!?" I hear a voice yell. I turn around and see Harry stomping his way over to me. "How could i lose to a beginner? A girl none the less!?" 

"Excuse me but she won fair and square. And grow up we're in the 21st century for god's sake. women can do whatever men can." Louis snaps, hands on his hips his feminist side taking over. 

"Do i know you? No so don't talk to me." Harry rudely comments.

"Oh hell no, listen up boy-o you mess with my boy you mess with me. Now i suggest you take your sexist ass somewhere else." I protect Louis even though i know he doesn't need it. We had each others backs since we were eight years old. 

" I'm not done with you two." He growls, his fists clenched as he tried to contain his anger. His fried holds on to his shoulders trying to pull him back. He glares at us spinning and shoving his friend off of him and walking to his bike. 

"Well the we better leave now, love." Lou says as we ride my bike and head back to campus. We had no apartment when we moved to New York so the college offered us to stay in the dorms before uni started by a week, until we can afford our own flat. 

We finally made it home and we immediately passed out as soon as we got to our beds, exhaustion taking over. 

Tomorrow is the first day of uni and i am so ready to kick some ass this year.
