"Dibs"

“Dibs”

This was a bad idea.

Seriously why did I think this would be a good idea?

Who in their right minds would take 6 posh school students to a street race?  Oh wait, that's right I would!

I tried to sneak away after school realising what a bad idea taking them there would be but they were already waiting at my car.  Once we got to the arena they were all practically jumping up and down in excitement.  This isn’t really seen as normal in a place where you could very easily die or get arrested.

“Angel” a voice boomed from behind me.  Oh crap.

“Hey, Nitro” I deadpanned turning around

“Can you guess what I want” he grinned.  Overconfident bastard.

“A race and a bet is my guess, it's not like you ever want anything else” I noticed my friends (?) looking intrigued and excited behind me. Oh my God they’re acting like the first time you rebel against your parents or brothers in my case.

“Okay the bet is, you win, which you won’t, you get £1000, I win, which I will, you work for me” he smirked.  I seriously don’t understand why or how he’s so overconfident, it's not like he's ever beat me.

“What does that mean?” Drew asked

“Basically at the moment, I’m a free agent of sorts.  I keep all the money I win and I only answer to me.  Working for someone is where they get a slice of your money and you get power and title from turf.  I don’t need that though I just need money.  Oh and Nitro, get ready to race” I grinned at the end.  He laughed and walked to his car.  I turned to my worried friends

“Are you sure you can do this?” Ali asked suddenly scared

“Yeah, he doesn’t look exactly friendly” Mason said slightly sarcastic but worried none the less

“Guys, trust me, I underestimated her once.  Won’t make the mistake again, she’s got this” Damon smiled and the excitement again increased.

“Dibs on riding with her!” Damon suddenly yelled and the others immediately groaned and started protesting.  I took this as a chance and slipped away into my car. 

Seriously? DIBS?

I looked over to see them all still arguing as the race was announced.  They all immediately looked around confused then at me in the car.  I waved laughing at their childishness.

A girl with barely any clothes on stood in front of the cars and looked at mine in fear.  Ha, she knows I try to run these girls over.  Wearily she took a piece of cloth out of God knows where and 3, 2, 1 here we go.

The crowd went wild as the tires of our cars screeched and we sped past them.  I was in front all ready and could see in the mirror Nitro looking frustrated.  Idiot.  I shook my head and drifted round the corner laughing at the excitement and speed.  He’s gotten better at drifting, I see as we were neck and neck.  I laughed again as he tried to get close enough to cut me off and ended up scratching his car on my spike in the tires if my car.  We were coming up to the finish line and either of us could win here.  I started edging closer to him knowing he would be weary now because of the spikes.  He edged away from me and right as we were about to cross the finish line, crashed into the wall beside him.  The announcer yelled into the microphone

“ANGEL WINS!” and the crowd goes wild.

“That was freaking awesome!” Ali yells hugging me

“Totally cool” Zayn grins

“MONEY!” Drew screams looking at the pile of cash in my car

“A girl with priorities” I grinned making them all laugh.  I looked at Damon who looked like he had sucked a lemon, his face was that sour.

“Sup pouty?” I smiled

“You left without me, oh I see how it is, and I’m UNDERAPRECIATED!” wow. Just wow.  The boys all gasp dramatically and look at us.  So now they’re all underappreciated?

“Oh, please if you had been in the car you would’ve screamed like a baby the entire way round, why would I appreciate that?” I asked incredulously the boys all gasped again and put a hand on their heads pretending to pass out from pain.  Me and the girls all looked at each other and burst out laughing before grinning evilly at each other and kicking the boys on the floor still giggling. 

“So, you ready to go a fight now?” I smiled and they all screamed yeah but Damon screamed no. We all looked at him confused

“You already have a broken rib, you could get seriously hurt” he said scolding me, I smiled

“As nice as it is that you’re worried about me, I once had a street fight with a broken leg and arm and won, so I think I’ll be fine with a broken rib.”

“No, not happening, Greta would kill me if you got hurt again, so doctors orders, go home” when he says that my smile drops

“What's wrong?” Drew asks

“Her brothers, remember” Ali mutters

“Oh shit yeah sorry” Drew says sheepishly and I smile at her

“Let’s get this over with then” I sigh but Damon cuts in saying

“Why don’t you all just come stay at mine?”

“It's not like he doesn’t have enough room” I tease him and he playfully scowls at me

“For that you can either sleep on the couch or in my bed, with me” he smirked

“I’ll take the couch” I smirked back

“Ouch” chorused Drew Mace Zayn Ali and Mason

“So, we’re all staying at yours?” Drew smiled

“Yeah, if we all went home now we’d be in trouble for how late it is anyway” Damon answered.  What did I just agree to?
