creed

ch. 1

(Flash back in the father view).......

"This is her" the old man says, as he removes the cover which had concealed the gorgeous 60s camaro her glossy black almost blinding." She was my sons car before he went into the military his name was creed mcurty best damn soldier they had" the old man says. As realization kicks in when I see his dog tags on the rear view mirror. "I'm sorry for your loss" I say to the almost 80 year old man.

As we crank it up her roar leaves goose bumps on my skin just her sound could leave anyone shaking in there boots. We come to an agreement with the price as long as I leave the dog tags so his son can always ride in his car. As I leave in the camaro I look at the tags hanging from the mirror and I decide to name her creed after her previous owner. The old man had explained to me of how his son had come across her almost empty shell and decided to buy her for a project for them to do together. It's sad that when they finally restored this beautiful girl he only got to drive her twice before he was sent over seas to fight. As I pull into my drive way I'm greeted by my wife and newborn daughter. I get out to explain creeds story and how she got here.
(Flash back ends)
"Kellie"...
"Kellie wake up" my mom says. As I open my eyes I realize it was only a dream my dad wasn't here telling me the story of creed for the 100th time. It's been 7 years sense he's been dead. He always had a dream to become the greatest driver so took up his dream. The day I found out about his death I jumped in that camaro and taught myself how to drive it was easy really learning to shift gears I had watched my dad do it so many times.

As I get ready for school I wear my usual blue jeans boots and a black t shirt and my leather jacket. As I look in the mirror my hair is a platinum blonde wavy mess and my eyes crystal blue. I tell my mom I love her and see her later that night reminding her it's Friday and we have a car meet. Grabbing my keys with a smile as I run out the door to creed she holds more meaning now that my father is gone. As I hold in the clutch and turn the key to hear her roar then settle takes my breath away. As I get to the end of our driveway is my favorite thing as I hit the gas and let my tires spin it's nearly a staight shot to the school. As I let her have it going down the road every shift send a shiver up mu spine her power strong and exciting she makes me feel like a bad ass cause she's one.

As I pull into the parking lot at school everyone stares. She's loud she's fierce she gives me confidence to walk in that school daily.she makes me feel superior to the boys I have something they can't and will never have ,and as I get out I hold my head high and walk with confidence looking back at her. I do this daily as I walk into the school knowing tonight I'm going to kick every boys ass that try's to race me.

At lunch I sit with my best friend sense pre-k (zyler) I always assumed he had a crush on me he's not bad looking but he's more like a brother. His red hair side swepted with his green eyes full of life and a smile that knocks girls dead in there tracks." So you ready to get your ass handed to you in the race tonight" he says with a smile. "Sure" I say with a chuckle " like your little charger is gonna beat my creed" I say grinning . "Fiesty today aren't  we" I hear a voice say behind me. As I turn to see the boy I face almost every weekend and still kick his ass every time we face up. "Are you mad that I kick your ass every Friday colby" I say smiling ear to ear knowing how mad he gets. He's not intimidating at all he's my height same age (17) sandy blonde hair and blue green eyes. "Your not gonna win tonight my brother just got home from jail and has helped me put some new equipment on my car" he says surly proud of his shitty 2006 model cobalt." It's not about the equipment it's about skill and connection with your car and you don't got shit" I say. "If you wasn't a female I would beat your ass" colby says scowling. "Ok let's make a deal if you win you can have a free punch at me if I win I get to do the same to you. Deal?" I offer." Deal" he says and we shake on it.

The rest of the day goes by smoothly. Wanting the last bell to ring is torturing me. As I finish up my work as the bell rings I'm greeted by zyler to walk me to creed like he does every Friday to ride with me today because I have to take him to his car at the shop."So why is your car in the shop again "I ask as I start creed." I got some new things added so I can try to beat you or someone " he laughs. "Creed hadn't been changed not once sense I had her it's not about upgrades but your connection and skill" I say. The rest of the ride was silent as we pull up to the shop to see his 98 model charger dark purple and black out rims. "Ain't she gorgeous " he says . "Not as gorgeous as creed" I retaliate. "See you at the spot" he says as I pull off.

As I pull up at the spot I notice colby shitty red cobalt. I grin at the thought of whooping his ass and getting a free swing at him. As I get out I notice everyone except a guy that is with colby. Everyone's got there hoods up looking at what's underneath and gauging power.zyler walks up to stand with me " who's the new guy" I ask. "He's colby brother the one that just got out of jail" he says. He's not bad looking hes tall with medium build black hair and green eyes that could cut through you. As I stare taking in his bad boy demeanor our eyes meet as I snap my head away hoping he don't see. As I look up he's walking towards me "so your the girl that made the deal with my brother" he says with a smile. "Yup" I say quickly. "Who's car are you driving this can't be yours" he says rudely. "Excuse me just cause I'm a female dosent mean shit this is my car and I'm about to whoop your brothers ass" I say snappy like.

He backs away holding up his hands with a grin. "Let's get this started then" he says. As I line up with colby he flashes me a smile and says" good luck". "I'm not gonna need it" I say. As zyler gets the flag ready I rev creed up making every one back up at her powerful sound "3...2...1... GO!" As I hit the gas I look in my rear view seeing colby in my dust. I take the first sharp curve and whip the e brake up to drift into it after I get around I look up to see if colby is behind me. He's gaining on me but has no chance as I take the next curve in a drift too and I see him slide out of control ending up backwards. As I see the finish come into view I slide in side ways with a grin looking at colbys brother. As I get out I walk straight to him " looks like your brother got his ass whooped again what's your name any way I didn't get it the first time" I say. "My names Thomas and you know how to control a car that's for sure maybe you can teach me some time" he says with a smile as his brother pulls up. "you ready for my punch "I ask colby as he walks toward me mad. I notice he takes a swing at me three times as I dodge each one everyone reacted to it as I swing in and connect one to his jaw and he drops. "You just got knocked the fuck out" zyler says laughing.

As Thomas walks up to pick his blacked out brother off the ground and into the passenger seat of his brothers car. "I'm  sorry my bothers a jackass" he says as I walk with him to the car. "I would like to get some pointers on how you drive tho could we meet here tomorrow" he asks. "Sure I don't mind whooping your ass in a race tomorrow then I might show you some things" I say as he closes the door." I'd like that" he says with a smile.
