Curling iron burns my hair into waves as I set the wand down. I apply the rest of my make up on thinking about how I'll sneak out tonight. I'll have to wait until all the lights are out and check to see if Dads awake. Racing is never usually on school nights, so I have to do it quitely. Hearing a knock on my window, I turn around to see a Jesse pulling my window up, falling onto the floor with a groan. I curse at him to shut up as he is making to much noise.
"What the hell Jesse!" I whisper shout at him as he stands up and readjusts his beanie.
"I-I'm sorry, I just wanted to come get you, I saw all the lights on still and the race starts soon ." He say grabbing my hand, and leading to the window. I instantly pull my hand out of his grasp. He looks at me confused on why I have pulled back
"What, how the hell do we get down there?" I ask, never actually jumped out of a window from a two story house before.
"Don't question, trust come." He says looking me into the eyes. I nod my head and look away. I feel his cold hand hold mine again as he lifts the window higher and placed one foot on the ledge. He lets go of my hand as he places his foot in the middle of a brick. His hands clutch onto the upper bricks as he makes his way down. I stand there waiting until he jumps off onto the grass. I do the same as Jesse. I place my shaky foot onto the ledge and put my other foot into a brick. I close my window, my hand locking onto it as I place my second foot onto the next brick. I slowly but steadily got down, and before I knew it I was next to Jesse in no time
"Good job." He pats my back as we make our way down the street. I parked my car down the street earlier so dad wouldn't see my car lights beam through the house when I turn my car on. I slide into my car as I turn the ignition on, sending my whole car to light up. I smile to myself as I put Ja Rule on, listening to his song 'Reign'.
We pull up in the same position, same spots as always. I get out and slam the door shut, looking over at Jesse who's eyes seem to be on Lance. The blonde wasn't there which I giggled to myself. Lance had two blocks with him, maybe my next victims to race. I feel Jesses presence and bring my eye contact to him. He looks a little annoyed
"So you and Lance hey?" Jesse snares as he looks at lance still, sorta glaring at him.
"Jesse I don't like him." I say in a annoyed tone. Why does he think me and Lance are a thing?
"Yeah ok." He says, scratching his arm, being bitten by a mosquito. I laugh at him as he itches his arm up and down, like a dog. A cute dog. No, Avery stop thinking that.
"Come on, let's see who I'm racing." I say, my heels clopping on the concrete floor. Lance puts his attention to me, put his arm around my neck and kissing my on the forehead. I look to Jesse who looks annoyed and upset. Does he not like it when I'm with lance? I question myself. Lance releases me from his grasp and I give him our handshake we made years ago.
"Avery, you'll be racing these two boys tonight." He says pointing at a bald bulky man and a man with black hair and blue eyes. Wow his eyes
"5 Thousand buy in, 15 grande in total." Lance says as I take out my money and slam it into his hand.
"Good luck Avery." I hear Jesse mutter as I send a smile to him. I hop into my car and make my way to the newly painted red line. The two boys pulled up next to me, and revved their engines. This time, a fully clothed girl stood at the side, slowly raising her hands up. As she pulled her arms down, I slam my foot onto the pedal, causing my tires to spin a bit. I'm in front of them by miles as I fly pass the finish line. I get out and receive the money I won and got pats on the back from various of different people. Starting to feel tired already, I make my way over to my car, but being stopped by Jesse who looks upset
"I'm, I'm s-sorry about what I said about lance and you." He stutters and apology he managed to get out. I nod I response and tell him it's ok.
"Let me follow you home, so I can drop you off at your door" He says, and I nod
We arrive not long after, parking in the driveway. I get out and walk to the door.
"Good night Avery." He says while I open the door to the house and wave at him, but he looks like he has been drained out and is now pale. I turn around to see the unexpected, my dad
