Double Star.

14: Virginity Bet.

PoV Luke :

- "I hope you're ready for the big day, Luke ? ". The boss caressed his long beard looking at me seriously. In a week I will have to prove myself and face the greatest drivers of racing cars in a competition of death.

- "Yeah ". I shrugged, I'm always the number one in this kind of competition, there's no reason I won't be the first this year too.

- "I know you can do it, I trust you". He took a cigar out of his jacket's pocket and lightened it.

-"Want one ?". He asked, showing me the package in his jacket.

-"I don't smoke". He smiled then pulled on his cigar letting appear a big smothering smoke.

- "Is your friend going to represent the other gang this year too ?". I clench my fists, knowing exactly who he's talking about.

- "I don't know and he's not my friend". I said harshly. I don't even consider this bastard of Matthew as my opponent, I'm better than him and he knows it.

- "By the way, there's a new rule this year". He said pulling one last time his cigar and pressed it on the ashtray.

-"Wut ?".

- "You need a partner to participate". I shrugged, if they want a partner I can bring them ten if they want. This rule doesn't make sense.

I left the boss's office and took a look at the time, it's way past noon which leaves me 30 minutes to reach school. I already missed the morning and my sister will freak out when she'll learn about my absence. I drove fast to not be late and I managed to get in there 15 minutes early.

-" So ? What do you say ? I need you in this competition Sarah ! You won't say no to your best friend ? ". Who the hell is this idiot imploring like that? When I looked closely at the girl next to him, I immediately recognized the hair. Holy shit! He's asking blondie to be his partner in this fucking race!

- "I don't know Jordan, I have too many things to do between exams and home, I don't know where to put myself, maybe you could ask another girl ? ".So, it's not Matthew who's going to be in the race, it's this moron of Jordan, but why does he insist to make the girl accompany him? I know that this guy has been part of the other gang for quite some time and the "Strikers" never act without a reason. So if this jerk has chosen blondie to be his partner, there must be something behind that...

- "No it's you that I want because...You know me better than anyone". He smiled at her like a fool and I could tell that the blonde was hesitating.

- "Well if you insist I ...".

- "No she won't come with you !". They both turned around, shocked by my intervention.

- "Luke ? ". Blondie looked at me, lost.

- " Who the hell gave you the right to decide in her place ? ". He glared at me and got dangerously closer. I put my hands in my pockets, it's not a pigeon that would scare me.

- "Jordan, wait !". Blondie held the arm of her dumbass friend probably to avoid another fight between us. I don't understand why she's giving that much importance to this guy, I'm worth 2000 times better than him and I'm not even trying to toot my own horn.

- " 'cause she's MY partner ! ".

- "What ? ". They both seemed shocked by what I just said, she suddenly moved her arm away from him and I kinda felt some sort of satisfaction, kind of...

- "She won't go with you because she's coming with me". I looked at him with a smirk and he glared at me.

-" You're kidding ? ".
