CHAPTER TWELVE: CAR RACE

Tristan had to call for another available job because he needed to pay Jamie's school fees, and go grocery shopping soon.

Since he didn't collect the money Mrs. McCurdy gave him.

The job he got now wasn't paying much, but he had to manage.

Dylan and the rest of his friends wanted to give him some money but he refused.

"Why won't you just collect the money from us? We're friends for God sake" Austin said, out of disappointment.

"You know how I like to work for myself.

I just need a better job than the one I have now and things will be okay" He says fidgeting his fingers with the keys on his hands.

"I have something up if you're interested''

Nathan said relaxing his back and giving the rest a look that they seem to know.

"What is it?" Tristan asked giving them suspicious stares.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"You have got to be kidding me. You know we can get arrested for this right?" Tristan said, folding his arms as he stares at the exciting environment surrounding him.

There were girls, boys everywhere. Music was being played, drinks were served by hot chicks wearing shorts and tight fittings showing their cleavages.

The air was filled with colored smokes, there were cheers, shouts and lights surrounding them.

Cars dancing around, twirling and making very loud noises and smokes released from it taking over the atmosphere.

It was a late night car race and it was illegal, they hosted it out of the city far from the town.

The venue was wide and very large. There were different colours, models, sizes of cars and everyone seem to be having fun.

"Yeah well that's not gonna happen. Now come on" Nathan says as the rest laughs and move forward to the starting point.

"Okay people, you know what to do" a voice said from a speaker.

"What's that?" Tristan asked

"People dropped some cash as bet and the winner of the race goes home with all of it. Simple!" Dylan explained, smirking.

"I want in" Tristan said immediately

"But I have just little" he said bringing the money he has with him out.

"Don't worry, take this as a "welcome to the game'' treat. I'll pay for it and don't you dare say no" he says giving him a hard glare and then smirking in the end

Tristan just laughed

***********

"Okay, are you guys ready?" The speaker said again and they all geared up their car engines.

They faced the tin line making sure they were in position.

A tall and slim girl, cat walked her way to the middle, holding a piece of red clothe, raising it up and then swinging it down and just then the race began.

Tristan was using Nathan's car and it was pretty fast.

He was first in the race but not for long, soon the other car overtook him, claiming the lead, that got Tristan triggered, as he increases the speed of his car and puff!! He was heading ahead of the car.

The driver saw him and anger was plastered on his face but that made Tristan smirked, increasing even more and then returning.

Luck was on his side, as he was the first to return.

They began to cheer for him as the other racers frowned but had no choice but to release the money anyways.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Wow, that's more than twice I make in a month. Thanks guys" Tristan says happily as they celebrate his victory.

"You're welcome bro"

The drinks were on him, as they order for junks and they shared the happy First-time-victory.

He was ready to go for more, that way he could save money to take care of his brother and also get distracted from thinking about Angel.

The rest of the night, the boys were playing some video games and it helped him.

Although going to school tomorrow was terror for him.

•••••••••••

"I'm fine Mom, now please can I get to class?" Angel said, as she sat in the passenger's sit of her mom's car in front of her school.

"Okay sweetie, if there's anything call me immediately" Her mom said, leaning forward and planting a kiss on her forehead.

"Bye Mom" Angel replied and got down, rolling her eyes.

School finally resumed and this is the part of her life she hates the most. School

Walking to her class as she had calculus as first period.

Another thing she hates so much.

Calculus

Immediately she entered the class she sighted her friends and they waved at her, causing her to smile and walk over to them.

"Hey girls" Angel said, taking her seat, while Cherry and Hailey smiled, at her.

"How are you feeling?"

"Are you okay?"

They both asked the same time, making Angel laugh.

"I'm okay guys, stop treating me like a baby" She says, grunting and leaning her head backward, placing it on the back of her chair, facing the ceiling.

"Ooh that's the new guy I think" Cherry said, as she wiggle her brows and that made Angel raised her head to look.

And the new student came in with Mr. Jefferson, their calculus teacher.

"Good morning class" he said not even waiting for their reply as he continued talking

"This is Frederic, your new student. Mr. Hemsworth please, take the seat next to Angel over there" he said gesturing his head to Angel.

Frederic, followed his direction and went ahead to sit.

As he walked, the girls were making faces at him, trying to get his attention but he just smirked and went to sit.

Mr. Jefferson cleared his throat, getting the attention of the students as he stood to write on the board. But just then Tristan walked in hurriedly and went straight to his seat.

"Don't be late again Mr. Grey" Mr. Jefferson said not even looking at him.

"Sorry sir" he replied.

Angel was surprised he went to the same school with her and worse the same class.

Although she still doesn't know who he was but he was there when she woke up at the hospital and he expected her to have recognized him.

She decided to talk to him after class.

Tristan was trying so hard not to look at Angel. He wished he didn't even come to class today because definitely he wouldn't pay any attention.

Frederic on the other hand, waved at Angel who just smiled and immediately turned to face the class, but was uncomfortable as she could see him from the side of her eyes that he was still smiling at her.

Frederic had the plan to talk to her after class and maybe become friends.

Things were going the other way, and Tristan was deep in thoughts.
