Carley With The Harley

1

Today's the day. The day I'm finally going to beat the stupid mystery man. I'm sure of it.

If you're wondering who the "mystery man" is, i don't know. No one knows. But some things I do know about him are that he's the best biker in the whole of town and that I hate him.

Today I'm going to beat him at the race tonight. But first, I have to finish another crappy seven hours of school.

Right now it's a free period and I'm hanging out with my friends at Costa's. "Why couldn't we go to Starbucks?" Moans Ellie.

"Because your the only one who likes Starbucks and you always make us go there." Replies Eloise.

Eloise and Ellie are technically identical twins, but they are nothing alike, Ellie is blonde with bright blue eyes and she's a cheerleader, she's my girlfriend although I generally side with Eloise more. Eloise is a brunette and she's more of a tomboy and smarter than Ellie if I was to say which one meant more to me and was closer to me, it would be Eloise.

"Babe. Tell Elo that we should go to Starbucks." Ellie says, swinging her right leg around to the left side of my lap so that she's sitting on my lap while facing me.

I grab her waist and put her back in her seat. "Eloise is right babe." Eloise then sticks her tongue out at Ellie.

"But daddy" she pours as I stand up, I look back at her then turn around, she jumps on my back putting her hands in my hair and kissing my neck while I'm walking.

Eloise puts her index finger in her mouth, gagging. I stifle a laugh as we walk back to the sixth form block just as the bell rings. Well now it's time for some more school.

Hooray.

Note the sarcasm.

School has finally finished and I'm walking to my car with Patrick, my best friend. We get into the car and start driving to the race venue. The race isn't going to start until 4 hours have passed but we usually come early to get ready for the race.

Once we park, we head through the alleyway, it's not a public place and you have to have an ID, of course, because it's illegal racing and I'm seriously not sure how the police haven't caught on to it yet.

When we get to the end of the alleyway, we enter the library and head to the corner of the library and open the 'DO NOT ENTER' door we go through and we're in a pitch black room. Suddenly a voice booms "PASSWORD"

Both Pat and I say "N101 bikers and babes" I know. It's stupid.

The voice says "welcome." A big door opens and we go through. That secret entrance is only for the bikers the audience has their own entrance.

Straight when we step into the fresh air and sunlight, Macy greets us, "Hello, sir Red and sir Pat, your bikes are over there. Would you like any drinks?" I shake my head. Red is short for Jared by the way. Macy is one of the organisers of races.

We walk over to our bikes just as MM(mystery man) walks into the venue. He doesn't have his bike out like the rest of the bikers, he's got this private room to get ready and everything. Macy walks up to him and says something, you see the mystery man doesn't talk, it would give away his identity. So he uses sign language. It's lucky that Macy can understand sign language, because the rest of the crew doesn't.

He signs something to her and walks away. I guess it's time to get ready for the race. I can't wait to beat his sorry little ass.

I'm speeding through some tunnels MM just ahead of me and when I come out of the tunnel, I can see the finish line.

I speed up so that me and MM are head to head, either one of us could win now, but it's going to be me.

Earlier in the race, MM nearly died because of the dangerous track and this big crash he got into. I thought I was going to win easily, but he got back in the race and here we are now. I wish he couldve just died. Then I would win for sure. The rest of the bikers suck at racing. I mean. They're good, just not as good as me.

As I lose focus I start to wobble. Come on Jared, focus. Focus. Focus.

We come near the finish line where MM speeds up and goes past first.

CRAP.

I lost another race. I can't believe it. Ugh.

I jump off my bike just as MM goes into her private room. I pull off my helmet, mad at myself and end up hurting my nose and my right ear. I walk over to Pat and he just laughs and says "next time bro. Next time."

I give him the death stare and he just puts his hands in the air like he's surrending.

You know what I'm going to find out who MM is, since I didn't win. I look towards the room and smirk at Pat. "No. Red, no. Ugh. Fine. But I'm not going with you. Just hurry up and go."

I head over to the room and sneam in when no one's looking I hide behind a rock that's sitting next to a wall. I peep over it and see MM standing in front of a boy sitting on a grey table.

Then he takes off his helmet and beautiful locks of green and blonde hair. I fall backwards and he-she looks at the rock.

Oh. My. God. It's Carley. Carley the nerd??? HOW?!

I recognise the boy as Max Hilton the headmasters son and the #1 most popular boy in school. In the 2nd most popular. I know. Shocking.

Carley shrugs and leans in to kiss Max but he puts his hand in front of her to stop her. "No. You couldve died out there. I told you not to do that race. And you still did it. Will you never listen?!" He scolds her.

"Your right. I don't listen. But that's why you love me, baby."

"You're so right baby girl. I love you." Then he kisses her and she kisses back.

Well, it turns out the most popular guy in school is dating the loneliest loner in school. Wow.
