"You know it's rude to stare." I whispered in his ear.
He turned around and chuckled.
"Can you blame me? A beautiful woman walks into a room, how can I not stare?" He stuck his hand out and I shook it. "Its nice to finally meet you in person."
"You...
"You got this, it's just another race. No biggie." I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. "You got this." I grabbed my helmet and walked out the bathroom.
I bumped into another racer and they cursed. "Watch it."
"My bad."
She glared at me and I raised my eyebrow at her.
"Do you need something?" I asked.
She rolled her eyes and bumped her shoulder into me as she walked past. "Amateurs." She mumbled.
"I'm not an amateur, I've been racing longer than you have."
She turned around and tilted her head. "Ah, you're Elliot the haole that I've been hearing about."
"And you are?"
"Iolani Maroco Kelly."
"Didn't need your government."
"Well I thought you should know it so you'll remember who beat you."
"Jesus and I thought I was an arrowhead." I turned and walked away.
"More like an orphan." I froze and turned back to her.
"What did you just say?" She smirked.
"You heard me."
"I just want to make sure I heard you right before I break your face."
"You wanna go?"

Just as I was about to swing at her someone grabbed me and yanked me back.
"Dont." Nick said in my ear. "It's not worth it."
"See you on the track." She said with a smirk as Nick dragged me away.

"Hey kiddo, you alright?" Robert asked and I glanced at him and nodded.
"She had a run in with one of the racers." Nick said.
I got on my bike and started the engine then put my helmet on. I rode out of the pit and went to my spot on the track.
"Look you got this, just stay close to the corners like we practice. Don't go too low and remember keep your head down." Nick said and I nodded.
