To Race A Hasting

Chapter 5

"GO!" And we're off.

Tate takes the lead constantly moving from left to right so I cant overtake him. It stays like this until there's a corner where we have to drift.

"Too wide" I mutter as he drifts too widely and I take the lead. I see him curse which makes me laugh.

The track gets wider allowing him to catch up to me and get beside me. When the finish line is near he hits his NOS.

"Too early" One slip up like that isn't good. When we edge closer I press my NOS. I press it at just the right time making me swoon over the finish line first.

As I step out the car I hear a chorus of congratulations and cheering. I smirk and walk up to Enzo to collect my cash. I look at the 8 thousand.

It would have been 10 but Enzo always takes 2 thousand for himself. It helps him pay for everything to be set up and get a 3 hour window from the cops.

"How does it feel to lose to a girl?" I ask Tate as I approach him. The whole crowd goes silent for the after talk.

"I will get you next time Hasting" He tells me angrily. I just laugh.

"Good luck with that Tate" He gives me the finger before walking off. This just makes me laugh harder.

"Bitch" I hear him mutter under his breath before getting in his car and leaving.

"Well done Lexi" Enzo says to me and he pats my back.

"Thanks Enzo"

"COPS!!" Someone in the crowd yells. I look over into the far distance to see red and blue flashing lights. I hurry into my car and I see Max do the same.

I turn the engine back on and drive off as quick as I can. Unfortunately for me, a cop starts tailing me.

"Shit" I curse and drive faster. After a while I lose him and pull into the nearest shop I can find. I go in and get a drink and some skittles. Don't judge because skittles are my life!

I grab my skateboard and leave the house. Last night was too eventful for me to sleep so I decided I would leave early today and on my board.

Its 8:30am when I arrive at school. People stare at me as I walk in. Probably because they haven't seen me ride a skateboard before. But hey, if I wanna come in on my board then I will.

"Lexi!" I hear a voice yell from down the hall. I turn around and see Chelsea running towards me.

"Hey Chelsea?" I more ask than say. People don't normally talk to me in school, so why is she?

"Where is Mr Crofts English class?" She asks.

"Just follow me after homeroom, I have the same class" I tell her with a smile. She smiles gratefully and we begin to go to homeroom.

"You brought your board" She points out gesturing to my skateboard. I nod my head.

"Yeah, thought it would be cool to skate to school today" I state. As we enter homeroom and sit down, my phone goes off. Josh takes his seat next to me as I begin to read the text.

I smirk and reply.

"What are you smirking at?" Josh asks teasingly.

"Oh nothing" I say happily waving him off.

"Okay?" He says, clearly not convinced. Mr Clarke comes in the room and asks to speak to me outside.

"I have been informed that you will be leaving at 10am, is this correct?" Damn, MaxandEnzosure can workfast, I think.

"Yes sir, it is" He nods.

"I'll inform your English teacher then" He escorts me back into the room and everyone is staring at me like I just got told off. I smile slightly and shake my head, taking my seat. I don't get asked what it was about by Chelsea, Josh, Grant or Ofe. Strange. I would've thought they might have asked.

By the time English comes, I'm staring at the clock like it's a piece of meat. I wait until it's exactly 10am and then turn my attention to the door. As if on time, Enzo bursts through the door and smirks at me.

"I'm here to collect miss Alexia Hasting"
