I was rounding the final turn of my 11th lap to go. My 10th lap would be were I win or lose, I pressed the flame button. With a steady ness, it seemed like every car behind me froze, I was just going as fast as a supernova. 

"Now, just drive!" I told myself. I drove like a mad man, more or less. I could feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins, it was exhilarating. 

"Let go of the button!" Mav yelled at me through the headset. 

"Man, let go!" Grayson yelled. I didn't even realize I was still holding the button. I let go of the button and drove almost just as fast. I was in first place with Trevor trailing in second. As we rounded the final turn Trevor caught up. 

"Nitro, now." Mav said. I opened the switch cover, but couldn't do it. I really didn't want to have to use the nitro to win. I increased my speed, and we were neck-in-neck for first. We speed past the finish line, a photo finished.

"You won!" Marcy shrieked. I got out of the car as did Trevor. 

He rushed over to me, "You almost clipped me, we could have crashed, even died." he yelled. 

"Calm down, man." one of his friends said, holding him back. 

"Come on, Scotty!" Marcy said grabbing my arm. 

"You were nowhere near him, man. He's just spazzing out." Jaz said to me. 

"Good job, just remember to let go next time." Mav laughed. 

"Come back man." someone yelled. 

"There gonna kill you." someone else yelled. I turned to see Trevor storming up behind us. He walked up to Maverick and kissed her. I wasn't angry, but now there was no hiding the rage that was blinding me. Maverick pushed Trevor off of her. Jaz, Carr and Grayson tried to hold me back. Fonzo has known me the longest and knows that me rage can't be contained. Marcy tried to pull me back. 

"Come on!" Trevor yelled. 

"Fight me! It doesn't matter what you do, I'll still get the girl." He ranted. 

"Don't push me, Trevor." I growled at him. 

"Stryker!" Mavy stepped in front of me. "Calm down." 

"Hey, Marcy. I remember you now. We broke up because your a dirty little slut. Which is probably why, Stryker was with you." he said 

"He probably banged her, too." he said laughing. Mavy looked at him and back at me, her eyes started to water. 

"I could never make you cry like that." I told her. I hugged her. 

"To bad you won't fight me." he said. 

"I would kill you, and your shit parents would come after me, and it's just way too much trouble." I said. He just stared at me for a while.

"You won't kill him." Mavy whispered to me. 

"I will!" in a split second, I saw my nerd girl fighter go from defensive to murder. The rage and anger in her eyes was almost as strong as mine. I slowly dropped my arms from around her thin frame and walked toward Trevor. Who looked more scared than ready to fight. 

"All racers report to the podium!" I shook my head, "Saved by the bell. But, I'm still going to get you." I said walking back toward the podium.

Mavy wrapped her arms around me as we walked. 

"Now he's really gone and done it." Marcy said coming up behind us. 

"Could I talk to the both of you?" she asked. 

"Why are you asking for something you're already doing?" I asked her. She looked kinda destroyed, when I said that. 

"You know how he gets when he's angry. He's impossible to reach, unless you find a soft spot." Mavy said to her. 

"Well, I really don't think that the two of you should be together..." 

"Stop, there's no way that's happening again." I said, pulling Mavy closer to me. 

"As I was saying, you shouldn't be together, for one you're no good for each other, two you're all bad and she's all good. No balance. That's why Scott should keep going out with me." 

"Marcy go stick your head down a well and try not to fall in. I headed this crew the entire time he was gone, even worse I am not 'all good' as you said, I'm mean and down right as bad as him. Only I wear mine on the inside." Mavy said. 

"Come on, you three!" Nico and Fonzo whimpered.

We raced to the podium, arriving just in time to hear if we won, which we did. 

"In Third place we have Elliot Rice, Second place we have Trevor Walker, and First place Scott Stryker." We all joined the announcer on stage. 

Then the microphone was handed to me, "First win since being back, I thank my monster crew, but mostly someone who impacted my life in an infinite way, my girl, could you come up here." Marcy jumped for joy, and started coming toward the stage. The guys had to push Mavy, her team shirt and her jumpsuit tied around her waist was almost covered in oil. 

"This girl, right here is who I dedicate this win and wins to come." I said handing the microphone back. I kissed Mavy on our way off the stage, everyone 'Awed' in unison.
