Two Wheels

Chapter 2

I WOKE UP STARING at my ceiling, with a stiff neck, I sat up holding my neck, soothing the pain and discomfort.
     "What a great day to start." I sarcastically said. I got out from my room where maya is cooking breakfast. Redrick on the couch while switching the channels on the TV.
     "Morning Mak!" Maya yelled across the kitchen while Red just raised his hand from behind.
     "Morning guys..." I said while yawning, flicking off the switch of my light in my room. "I freaking forgot to turn off he light last night." I exclaimed. Red looked at me and said. "Again??"
     "I was sleepy okay."
     "Hey, it's not like both of you pays the bills in this house."
     "Neither do you" I quickly replied. Maya poutef and continued cooking while Red and I are chuckling to ourselves.
I sat down on the barstool where Maya served breakfast. Immediately, after I ate, the three of us goes on out our daily schedule, Redrick told me to come to a place, but he didn't gave any details.
    
     "TAKE CARE AT WORK!" I yelled before maya entered the public bus. We went back inside the garage and grabbed our bikes, soon enough Redrick and I started going to the direction where he usually goes when he meets up with his friends and or groupmates.
     "So where are we going exactly?" I asked curiously
     "I noticed you're good enough to join the cycling groups."
     "So, I'm gonna be an official member?"
     "A newbie." He replied
We arrived in a small house with a tall fence near a park, Redrick opened the gate with a key from his keychains. He entered after I followed him, I saw five bikes parked inside the open garage, one hanging in the middle like it's the leaders bike and two of them are mostly pink and bright coloured and my first guess is its a girl's possession. We parked our bikes near them then Redrick and I entered the house and into a meeting room, the house has a modern aesthetic touch to it, and the meeting room is similar to a meting room you can find in a regular corporation building, but with less windows and more chart.
     "Hey fuck-asses, my Best friend wants to join our group," Redrick yelled loudly and got everyone startled. I peaked behind him and saw his group mates chilling, having a couple of beer on the table, a white board chart with scribbles on and and a giant map beside it.
     "Shut up Johnson, you already said he'd join," The man in the tip of the long table after sipping in a bottle of beer and feet on the table.
     "Hi guys," I said sheepishly then the girl that was sitting on a dude's lap (I asume her boyfriend) said "Welcome to the team."
There was a black guy using his laptop and one guy with long blond wavy hair was reading a book next to him. The laptop guy looked up and adjusted his glasses.
     "Take a seat, we were waiting for you two to map out our route for tomorrow," he'd continue typing on his laptop then the guy in the middle with the board behind him—possibly the leader— stood up and put down his beer down on the table.
     "So! We have a new guy we'll go to our usual route but modified a bit since an event is coming up," he'd explained while everyone listened.
     "Why modify it?," The guy who looked liked a generic jock bully, fairly muscular and has a girl sitting on his lap asked, his voice and tone was gay-ish, and I was surprised when he spoke.
     "Because we'll have to put the new guy in the ritual, signing up so he can be an official cyclists," he said and sipped his beer.
"okay so," he'd continue and out down the drink "we'll start from the Central park, straight out to the highway and hill climb our way to the first checkpoint of the event," he'd point the map using a ruler.
     "Then follow the main highway and then rest at the final check point, after that we'll go to the usual route and go home" he'd finish "any questions new guy?"
     "Actually yes"
     "What it?"
     "Should we do an introduction?" I said sheepishly
     "Let's start off with those horny couple" he didn't hesitate to say and sent the two in shock.
     "Jerry first!" The girl said looking at the guy reading the book.
     "Well fine," he said standing up "I'm Jerry Schmitt, I own a Giant road bike, I assume you saw it already," he briefly sat and continued reading his book while I fucking try not to laugh out loud, barely keeping it in, the reason being 1. I saw two girlish bikes 2. There's only a single girl here and 3. I saw a pink Giant road bike. Redrick elbowed me and I stopped mocking him.
     "Name's Paul Robertson, generic American name for a black person, except my dad isn't a black, I own the blue road bike that was hanging in the garage and welcome to my house." I was surprised by how wrong my assumption was. I nodded and said thank afterwards.
     "I'm Crissey Reyes, Cris for short and this is my 'close friend' Reynald," she pinched the man's cheek "he's gay, obviously." The man slapped her hand away "Reynald Degrey, and I'm partially gay, not fully gay you bitch" he moved his arm and probably pinched her, I didn't saw it but it made Cris squeal in pain, Cris then slapped his hand and the guy in the middle intervened.
     "Okay, the name is Antonio Kuskovski" I'd chuckle because he pronounced his last name is an over exaggerated Russian accent "I'm the leader here, kinda to be honest I just plan everything out for us, we don't do leaders here, now your turn," I nodded and stood up. "The name is Makleo Quinta, call me Mak" they all nodded and I sat down, we chilled for about an hour and I chatted with Redrick, around 3:40, we all decided to go home, Including Paul, because apparently, he said he lives with his girlfriend and he just naught this lot for their base and workshop.
