PART 23
We started pedalling as fast as we could, and instantly fell into third place, behind Tom and Max’s carts. Jay and Alice were behind us, with Siva and Cassie behind then. I turned back and laughed at them, before turning back around as we hit the first corner. Nathan was steering, which wasn’t the best decision. He lost control and we swerved into a tree.
We both jumped as we hit the tree, before looking at each other and bursting out laughing. He tried to steer us out of the tree but failed. I laughed and rolled my eyes at him. He looked at me pleadingly and I sighed and we swapped seats. I moved the steering wheel, just as Jay and Siva drove past us, pointing and laughing. I rolled my eyes and concentrated on steering the cart. Nathan was peddling.
“Pedal backwards Nath.” I said calmly.
“What?”
“Pedal the cart backwards. You’ve jammed this too far into the tree we need to reverse.” I replied, authoritavely, and then turned and smiled at him. He did what I said and soon enough we were facing the right way. He looked at me in amazement.
“What?” I asked him, confused.
“You never fail to amaze me.” I rolled my eyes as he kissed me on the cheek.
“Let's go and win this race.” I said, and he nodded in agreement. We pedalled as fast as we could, and slowly overtook Siva, then Jay, followed by Max and slowly got into line with Tom. We laughed and gradually took over them at the finish line, cheering victoriously.
