Never Judge a Book by it's Cover

Chapter Seven

          The rumble of an engine sounded behind me and I had to stop myself from looking back to see what it was; the soft purr had me curious as just from the sound I could almost feel its power. The car slowed as it approached me and looking over I seen that it was an all black newer Camaro, I had to stop myself from gawking at it because that would have just been rude; the car came to a complete stop just a few feet ahead of me and as I approached the window rolled down.

“This is what you consider having it covered?” Colts voice asked from in the car; I stopped myself from rolling my eyes, it would have to be him that owned such a beautiful piece of machinery.

“Yep.” I said as I continued to walk; the car crept slowly beside me keeping up with my pace.

“Haley get in, it’s over a mile to your house and its past midnight.” Colt said through the open window; I stopped and contemplated my options for a minute before deciding that spending a few minutes with him was better than having to walk all the way home.

          I opened the door and slid myself into the smooth leather seat, it seemed to just form a cocoon around my body; it almost had me wishing that I would have picked one of these instead of my baby, almost. I found my eyes wondering around the interior on their own accord; taking in all the fancy looking knobs and buttons, something that I wasn’t used to at all in my 70. The middle console boasted an array of gauges, the white stitching on the shifter knob was the same stitching as on the seats; the door had a thin light blue light that ran across the middle, giving a low glow to the inside of the car. Yeah this was much nicer than the interior of my car, but I still loved my baby none the less.

“So do you now how to drive this thing?” I asked looking over at Colt as he shifted another gear.

“I’m driving it right now, aren’t I?” He said a smile playing at the edge of his lips.

“No, I mean do you really know how to drive this thing?” I asked trying to hide the excitement in my voice; I knew how powerful this car was and was dieing to experience it for myself.

“Oh, I don’t think that you could handle me really driving this thing. Do you have any idea how much power this car has?” He asked smirking a little bit.

“It’s a 2010 2SS/RS, right?” I asked looking around at the few identifying features of the car.

“Yeah.” He said looking at me a little confused.

“Then I would say it has about 426 horsepower with 420 foot pounds of torque.” I said as a grin of my own crossed my lips; if he thought I didn’t know anything about cars he had another thing coming.

“You know about cars?” He asked sounding highly surprised at my answer.

“I know about Camaro’s.” I replied causing him to let out a, hmm sound, like he was processing that little bit of information.

“So are you going to show me what this thing has got or what?” I asked mentally telling myself not to jump up and down in the seat like I wanted to; I managed to keep it down to small, hopefully unnoticeable shuffling.
