[Phone Rings.]
I groan. Who is calling this early? I tap the accept button without looking who the caller is.
"Whoever you are, you better have a good damn reason for calling this early."
[(laughs) It's me, George. And yes, I do have a good damn reason for calling you.]
"What?"
[You want my Elemento right? Now's your chance to get. Well, not that I'm not giving you a fight.]
Napabangon ako bigla. Holy shit! Timothy is calling me! And the Elemento! I grin.
"Oh Timothy, you are too eager to lose." My voice turn husky all of a sudden.
[(laughs) I love your voice over the phone. I'm going to hear it more often now. See you later, George.]
Pumunta na ako sa race track. Kasama ko si Collo, Toish-Toish at ang kambal. Wala si Magnus at si Athan may mga date daw sila. Ang Mclaren lang ang gagamitin ko ngayon. Wala pa si Timothy.
"Holy shit! George!" Bulalas ni Vaughn.
"Holy shit indeed" sabi ni Collo.
"He's using Koenigsegg Agera R." Sabi ni Valentine.
"Diba mas mataas ang horsepower nyan kaysa sa Mclaren mo, Georgie." Sabi ni Toish-toish.
May apat na sasakyan na nagpark malapit sa amin. Isang Agera R, dalawang Lamborghini Gallardo at isang Ferrari 599. Bumaba si Timothy sa Agera R. Sabay ding bumaba si Ransom at Fox sa Gallardo pati si Finn at Oz sa isa. Si Hunter at si West ang bumaba sa Ferrari.
Timothy eyed my Mclaren and smiled at me. "Good morning tough girl."
I rolled my eyes at him. "You're all here"
"We wouldn't miss it for the world, George." sabi ni West.
"I can't wait to see how George will beat Beau's ass." Sabi ni Hunter.
"I have five thousand on you, George." sabi ni Ransom.
"You too, Ransom? Wala bang naniniwala na nanalo ako ngayon?" sabi ni Timoty. Tinignan niya si Finn, Fox at kay Oz.
"Wala." sabay sabi ni Fox at Oz.
"I do!" sigaw ni Finn. "Pero di ako tataya sayang pera ko hihi."
"Mag-uusap lang ba tayo dito?" kunot noong tanong ni Valentine. We look at him.
"Well then, game on bitches!" sabi ni Toish-toish.
Nasa starting line na kami. Nasa bleachers ang iba.
"Hey tough girl, after this I want you to call me babe or baby, it's up to you." He flashed hi infamous smirk again.
"So confident, Mystery Man. Keep it up!"
"Oh I will. You'll be my girl, George. Believe me." he said and winked. Pumasok na siya sa sasakyan nya.
You'll be my girl, George. Believe me. It continues to play inside my head. I shiver. Holy Guacamole! Pumasok na din ako sa sasakyan. Si Toish-toish ang may dala ng flag. Concentrate George! Damn you Timothy for messing with my head. The moment she drop it I step on the gas pedal. I take the lead then I slowed down.
"Whoa, what are you doing George?" tanong ni Collo from my headset.
"Letting Timothy think he can win."
"He CAN win George. His car is faster than yours." sabi ni Vaughn.
"Step on the gas pedal, George. Dapat ma assure mo na mananalo ka." sabi ni Valentine.
"Where's the fun in that?" I laughed. "Relax guys, I got this. Now, I sing. Hit it, Collo."
I can imagine them shaking their heads. Collo played the song. I sing along.
🎶 I hop at a plane at LAX with a dream and card again
Welcome to land of fame excess
I'm a gonna fit in
I jump in the cab, here I am for the first time.
To my right I saw the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous
My stomach turning, I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turn the radio on
The Jay-Z song was on and the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on. 🎶
I saw Timothy's car catching up and just in time for the chorus nasa tapat ko na ang sasakyan niya. I look at him then sing.
🎶 So, I put my hands up.
They're playing my song
And butterfly fly away.
Nodding my head like yeah and moving my heads like yeah!
I put my hands up
They're playing my song
I know that I'll be okay
Yeah (4x) It's a party in the USA. 🎶
I saw confusion on Timothy's face. I smiled at him and blew a kiss. He smiled then step on his pedal. Sya na ngayon ang nangunguna. Tatlong laps lang ang race namin and now we only have two.
I should say na magaling si Timothy but he's not using all the car's capacity. Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ba nya yan o hindi. He could have gone faster. I just keep a distance sa kanya.
"Last lap George. You better step on it if you want that Elemento." sabi ni Collo.
And I did. Nasa tapat na ako ni Timothy. I look at him then wave my hand. Napakunot siya. Finally, ginamit na nya ang full capacity ng Agera niya. Dammit nahuhuli na ako. I step hard on pedal to catch up. Then there goes the blind curve. I turn left so that car would go right. Nag drift ang sasakyan ko. Nahirapan si Timothy sa blind curve and that's where I beat him. I was on lead again. But bloody hell! Timothy's car is just beside mine and before I knew it we both reach the finish line. It's a goddamn tie. Christ!
