shes a street racer

chapter 2

groaning i roll over and grab my phone from kennys night stand. beccas name lights up the screen and the mario theme song plays loudly. i squint my eyes from the light and answer with a groggy voice.

" chicka where are you? first periods over in twenty and we have our chem test next period." i grumble a response jumping out of bed ripping the bedding off with me. throwing the phone down on kenny stomach he jerks up and glares at me

" kenny! we missed first period already." jumping up and down getting into my white skinny jeans i watch him slowly get out of bed and slip a shirt and jeans on. i grab a red tank and my leather jacket slipping into it and grab my knee high riding books before running out the door.

i roll my eyes at the sight of the silver benz, seconds later later kenny strolls out running his hand threw his already messy hair giving it the just had sex look.  while driving to school he sits there chewing on his nails, he knows this annoys me thudding of his teeth on his thick nails over and over again causes tension in my shoulder muscles. luckily we pull into the school lot before i can reach over the consel and ram my fist into his throat.

ripping into the school i leave kenny behind running through my mind everything we studied for this test. beccas standing at my locker looking like god just sent her the best gift. before i can even ask her why she looks so happy when we have a chem test coming up she blurts out that there is a new student and that she calls dibs on him. shes done this since we where younger, calling dibs on any guy she finds attractive. even after all these years of me not giving a care in the world about the guys at our school she still finds it necessary to call dibs.

once we get to chemistry we go our seperate ways to our tables. becca use to sit beside me until she was caught cheating off of my test. she got moved across the room leaving me by myself for the last three weeks. it was a blessing in disguise though my grades actually went up even more not having her there to talk to. i wouldnt tell her that though instead after every class i tell her much i hate not having her with me. our friendship is built off of her ego but shes been with me for so long if its what takes her to feel good about herself who am i to take that away from her.

when the finale bell rings the teacher walks in and silent as a mouse hands out our tests face down. staring at the clock she waits a torturous 6 minutes before telling us we can begin.  signing my name on the test i star from the last question working my way back. becca use to make fun of me for doing thing when we where younger but it was something my brother taught me to do so i could keep track of how many questions i had left and manage my time better. ten mintues and twenty three questions later the class door opens and no doubt every one stops and stares. my eyes dont leave the paper though. if i stop now i will get side tracked and i only have eight questions left.

the teacher talks to someone in a hushed voice as i finish up my test and stand up to hand my test in. when i look up there is a guys standing at the front of the class who i have never seen before. his striking blue eyes hit me to my core. his hair is uncept as if he has ran his hands through it so many times its stuck like that.  his plain white tee is stretched across his broad chest testing its elasticity and his dark jeans ride dangerously low before tucking into his army books. he smiles at me revealing two deep dimpels as he catches me checking him out. i look down at the techers desk putting my test down before turning back around and heading to my table before my heart beats out of my chest.

" just take a seat at the back near jaylee." the teacher calls out just before i reach my chair. i scrunch my eyes together and take a deep breath before slipping into my seat. the new student struts up to my tables-our table- and stretches out his hand to me introducing himself as drew. i smile shake his hand before pulling out my chem. book going over everything i just did on my test. dramatic coughing catches my attention and i look up to see becca with raised eye brows mouthing 'thats him' making me laugh. she points to her cell phone indicating for me to check mine.

theres a text from her in all caps saying INVITE HIM TO LUNCH.  i laugh under my breath and look over at drew. he has his head down on his crossed arms leaning onto the table. after nudging his arm i slide my phone infront of him and he reads the text a small smirk on his face. i find myself being disapointed that his dimples didnt come through on th small smile. theres laughter in his eyes when he turns towards me and i nod my head over towards becca. her face is beat red from embarassment and shes glaring at me. when drew turns back towards me i raise my eyebrow in question and he nods his head.

finally everyone finishes their tests and there is only ten minutes left of class. the teacher gives us the rest of the period to review but ends up being all the students talking. drew turns towards me and smiles. " what class do you have next?" i asked him trying to make small talk.

he pulls out his schedual and hands it towards me. " you have art with beccas next" i point over towards here " and then lunch period with us. oh and we have gym together last period. i have the same morning class as well."

" morning class? i didnt see you in trig" his eye brows pull together as if hes trying to remeber something

" oh umm no i slept in this morning and missed my morning class." nodding his head we make small talk before the bell rings. as soon as the shrill of it fills the room becca is over to our side of the class introducing herself. once i inform her that they have the next class together she loops her arm through his and makes her way  out the door. drew gives me a fleeting glance as if asking for help from her upfrontness. i smile and give him a small wave before leaving him in  the hands of my boy crazy best friend.

when lunch comes around i head straight to the cafeteria where kenny is already sitting. i grab a v-8 and a burger with fries from the cafe and headed over to him. sitting down beside him he pokes his hand out and steals some of my fries. slapping his hand away he chuckles and slings his arm over my shoulder pulling me into him.  me and kenny have an easy friendship, hes the only person who knows about my racing and he found out by chance. just over a year ago my car was pretty damaged and i brought it into a body shop to get it fixed not knowing he was working there. from there we just became friends and he became my personal machanic.

we're joking around about last night and the guy that i beat when becca and drew pull up to our table. beccas got a death grip on drews arm and a wave a jelousy goes through my core before i see his face and the uncomftable state he seemed to be in. " hey becca they have chicken fajitas today" nodding my head to the lunch line her eyes light up and she removes her hand from drews are mumbling a be right back. drews face visably relaxes causing kenny to stiffle a laugh. standing up kenny stretches out his hand to drew and shakes his introducing him self before sitting back down and pulling me into his side again. i cuddle into his side with out hesitation and watch as drew takes a seat, his eyes darting between me and kennys position we are in.

as drew and kenny make conversation i dig into my burger, kenny waits till my mouth is full to steal some more fries. hes laughing until my elbow connects with his ribs making him grunt. i smile at him until he pulls my head into a head lock rubbing his boney knuckles into my skull. we are both laughing when becca come back. " are you to ever going to grow up?" she asks giving us her usual ' why am i the only mature one here' as much as i lover her shes to busy trying to look composed that she dosent try to have fun as often as she should.

taking her seat by drew, i watch as she scoots closer to him and he tries to scoot away with out being to obvious. theres a warm feeling in my stomach at the thought that drew dosent like her.  i remind myself that she called dibs, as shallow as that is, and busy myself with my food. lunch goes by to fast for my liking and im already heading back to my classes.

gym ends up being an unspoken challange between kenny and drew much to my annoyance. one of my favorite classes get constantly interupted because the two boys have made it their mission to spike the volley ball towards each other every chance they get. finally the bell rings and i walk away from both guys annoyed with their public display of dominace.

when i come out of the girls change room both guys are standing there laughing like they are old friends making me shake my head at them and walking away. i can feel their presence behind me as we make our way out to the parking lot. beccas leaning against my  car hood with her foot pressed up onto the bumper no doubt scratching it. in all honesty though i wish she did more damage. just as i make it to the drivers side i see a white supra a few stalls down. drews hand reaches up holding a key fob hitting a button and the lights to the supra light up indicating it being unlocked. my head shoots over to kenny who is standing there with his eyes wide.
