From Nerd to Badass

chap 12

As we left twords the race track, I looked outside to see the beautiful view. Once we got there I got our out my car and walked towards the boy who was collecting the entrance money.

" 2 for the 1:00, 2 for the 1:30 and 2 for the 2:00 race please." I said the the boy who was collecting the entrance fees.
He gave me the little ticket things to put in the window and let my friends and I through the gate.

I handed the 1:00 to the twins, the 1:30 to Scarlet and Jésus and the 2:00 to James and I. " This will be the times you race. Since there are two of you on one race please get first and second place. Whoever gets second place, has to pay 100,000 dollars to the winner." I say making a bet I know I can win.

"You know brother, I always was the fastest driver last time we raced. I hope you have that much money with you." David says with a small smirk on his lips.

"Come on brother, that was 3 weeks ago. I have defiantly gotten faster and flashier than you." Nick replies with his own smirk.

Just then an announcement that the 1 o'clock race was taking place in 10 minutes, the twins both sped off to get ready. They lined up and the girl came out to officaly start the race.

" 3.......2........Go" was shouted as the flag dropped and the cars sped away.
The twins were neck and neck. They had to go around the track 20 times and still neck and neck. One the last final lap, David was ahead, but fell behind again. Right at the finish line Nick speeds up and takes the lead by an inch.

"100,000 dollars please. I won fare and square. I told you I have gotten better." Nick says to David while collecting the prize money of 500,000. David reluctantly handed his brother the cash and was away sulking.

" 1:30 race is about to begin. Racers take you marks." The announcement proclaimed. Scar and Jésus started to get ready. The atmosphere was thick. Both opponents refused to say anything. The race started as usual and Scar speeds up. Scar is in the lead by 12 inches. Jésus catches up and they are tied until the last lap where Scar uses her special weapon, her engine booster. In the last 12 yards Scar takes a big lead ahead and wins the race.

Once the race was over, Jésus goes up and congratulates Scar, while handing her 100,000.

Scar goes collect her prize money then comes back twords me.

I am sorry for people who have already read this chapter before now. I was writing this on the bus and fell asleep. Unknown to me, I must have pressed the publish button. I have fixed most things but there are a few grammar mistakes. Enjoy this book!
