creed

ch. 9

When I wake up Christian isn't in the room when I look at the clock it is already 10 o'clock I over slept. As I run to my physics class I bump into a man and I fall to the ground. "I'm sorry" I quickly say "It's fine " the man says reaching out his hand to help me up. "Thank you" I say "my name is devon" he says "I'm kellie I have to run to class" I say as I run .

When I check the time I realise it's to late to catch my second class and it's lunch time. I decide to go to the main office to ask about the racers course. "Hey I was wondering how to get tested for the racers course" I ask nicely to the older lady behind the desk. " You will want to go to that room and ask the instructor for the test" she says with a smile.

As I thank her I leave for that department when I enter I notice a room of all boys of course me not being intimidated I ignore they're looks. As I reach the instructors office I knock then enter as I'm met with a decent sized man with grey hair and slightly muscular. "I was wondering if I can take the test to join this course" I ask "you want to try this course but your a girl you won't make it and I'm not wasting my time" he says with a light chuckle. "Excuse me I'm just as good as any of those boys out there " I say as I walk out the door and slam it.

What does he know he hasn't seen me race he knows nothing . As I go straight back to my dorm room Christian is on his bed reading his automotive parts book. "Is there any races around here at night" I ask him with a serious face." Yea I know just the place there's an old race course about 15 miles from here all the people from the racers department goes to show how big they are" he says laughing. "Well let's go and show them that I can beat everyone of them" I tell him. As I step in the closet to change I grab my pair of my black jeans and a tank top pairing it with my leather jacket I step out of the closet and walk to my bed were I set down to put my harley boots on. "Damn girl you look good if I wasn't slightly intimidated by your guy I would jump you" he says smiling. "It ain't him you would have to worry about " I say putting up my fists punching a one ,two combo.

As we get in creed we head towards the old race course . When we pull in everyone looks at us not knowing it's me guys start surrounding the car when I park and step out. When I get out I notice a familiar face "Kellie what are you doing here you do realise we are racing here right" he says not knowing how offensive it was. "Yea I know that's why I came to put some of yalls egos in check " I say with my hands on my hips while walking towards him. "Well let's go then girl" he says with a smart ass look.

As we line up I have devon beside me supporting a newer model Mustang black with a red racers stripe down the middle. On my other side I have a man which is a senior driving a 90s model corvette. As we sit ready for the flag to count down I think about my first ever race and how all the guys were shocked this is going to be like that time.

"Are you ready" the skimpy female says "3..2..1..GO!". As we take off the senior is on my tail and Devon is in the lead by a foot as we take the first full curve I pull my e brake drifting side ways . When I drift out I hit the gas me and Devon are nose to nose as we take the second and final curve I slide in and straighten her up letting her have it I win by a car length. When I stop and get out Christian runs to me "I didn't know you could drive like that" he says excitedly.

"Damn I have to say your one of the best drivers I've seen in a while" devon says with a smile. "Thanks " I say happy I got to race. "I'm gonna talk to Mr. Davis about you joining our racing course" he says . "Thank you I would appreciate it he told me he wouldn't let me even test cause I was a female " I tell him.

When it's time to leave I've done raced three more times. Some people have already left and it's just me Christian and Devon left talking. "So we're did you learn to drive like that " Christian asks. "After my father died I took off in creed it was his car and it became mine after that day" I tell them both. As Christian gets in the car devon calls me over to his. "I'll talk to Mr. Davis tomorrow he can be a ass sometimes but I have a feeling when he sees you race your gonna be his favorite" he says . "Thank you for talking to him" I say and give devon a hug. "No problem but you gotta race me some time" he says with a smile.

When we get to the dorm I get ready for bed. "Do they have a boxing gym here somewhere " I ask Christian "yea there's one in town I go to you wanna come with me tomorrow " he asks. "Yea that would be great " I say. As I fall asleep I dream about devon his 5'8 stature shorter than thomas but very muscular with his black hair and hazel eyes. I get awoken by my phone going off "hello zyler why are you calling this late" I say into the phone. "Kellie thomas has gotten in trouble he tried hitting a place up with some big man" he says . As the words play in my head he tells me he is in jail and thomas won't tell anyone why he did it.

As I pack my bag I leave Christian a note telling him what is going on and ask if he will tell my tachers I had to leave for unspoken reasons. By the time I make it back to my home town it's 10 o'clock. I call zyler and tell him to meet me at the jail house. When I get there zyler gives me a hug and we walk in . When I sit down in front of Thomas he looks mad "what do you want" he says angry. "What's your problem why did you do this " I ask "why was you hugging all over a guy" he says. "I saw on instagram it was a picture of you and a dark haired guy hugging saying powerful race couple" he says in a mocking tone. "I aint with no one thomas I was hugging him cause he said he was gonna talk to the racer teacher about me joining the class" I tell him and his look softens. "It was all mac he showed me the picture after I told him that we had made that promise he must know someone there" he says. As the gaurd rushes us I give him a hug and tell him to call me when he gets the chance and that I will get him out of there. I stay in my childhood home that night.
