Red- chapter 09

Red suits you

A white Zenvo ST1 pulls up at my foot and the driver gets out and hands me the keys, "Blow them away Hailey" Cole pats me on the shoulder and I smile warmly at him, the crowd roared and I smiled slightly. This one's for Joshua.

The sun has set and the moon has been awoken. I hopped into the car and turned the key, the car roared to life and I smiled evilly.

I'm racing against seven other men, one who is a possible drug addict, that I can tell from his fidgeting and Shaking. The second is a jailbird which everyone knows, he steals cars and sells them to other criminals, the third is one of my friends, Jace. And the rest, all old faces. Before forgetting, I placed the very tiny chip underneath the steering wheel and focused my eyes on the track. I place the car into drive and bit my lower lip.

I revved the engine looking at the man next to me, his eyes trailed down my cleavage and he smirked. I can see the light turning yellow in the corner of my eye, I chuckled to myself and licked my lips causing the guy to nod in my direction. As soon as the light turned green I smashed my foot on the gas and sped away, the guy who was obviously too focused on the girl next to him now way behind. I grinned and focused on the track ahead, my hair whipping in the wind.

I saw that the others were slightly behind so I jammed the brakes and revved the engine, waiting for them to catch up.

I can hear the crowd roaring, some sound confused as to why I'd stopped in the middle of the race, the scent of Lavenders filled my nose and I sighed in relief. As soon as I saw them catching up I pressed on the breaks and reversed making a sharp turn, I jammed the breaks, turning my car to face the coming ones. Joshua taught me how to drive backwards a very long time ago, as soon as I the smell of lavender filled my nostrils I knew he was with me which soothe my nerves and made this seem even easier, but I don't want to be cocky because that gets you nowhere.

I see tattoo guy grinning at me through the windshield and I laughed and drifted abruptly facing the car the other way. I speed up once more, with one hand on the stirring wheel another on the gear stick and my foot smashing on the gas, I'm neck to neck with the tattoo guy, he looks furious after the stunt I pulled on him earlier.

I rolled my eyes. Guys think with their dick and not their head and that's his problem, not mine.

I revved the engine once more and sped away, there's a turn coming up but I don't slow down, I jam the brakes and spun the steering abruptly causing the tires to smoke as I went around the track. As soon as I'm pass the bend I smashed the gas once more and sped off to the finish line.

The crowd roars and I grinned.

Oh Joshua I wish you were here to see this. I crossed the finish line with tattoo guy following, if he hadn't been so distracted he would've probably be at least neck to neck with me. I knew he'd be the hardest to beat because he's been driving for a couple years longer than I'm which meant I needed to slow him down a bit.

I slowed the car down and parked it. I got out and whipped my hair around in the wind, Kelie and her brother came rushing towards me, Cole came shortly after. They all congratulated me on my big win, I just wished My brother was here to celebrate with me.

After the cheers and the pats on the back I found my way to the party parked on the hill near the track. As I arrived people began cheering and clasping, I smile brightly. "Did you do it?" Kelie asks and I shrugged, "maybe I did, maybe I didn't" Kelie narrows her eyes at me and I threw my hands up defensively, "It's done".

I head over to the coolers and grabbed a soda. Soda at a party, how lame right?

"Hailey" a familiar voice say behind me in amusement and I wasn't surprised when I met his hazel-green eyes. His eyes trailed up and down my body for a short while, amusement twinkling in them for a short second, I sipped my soda and smiled warmly.

"Funny seeing you here" I smile, "what a coincidence" I narrowed my eyes at him. I don't trust Christian, he might be cute but that's no reason for me to go running into his arms and telling him all my deep, dark secrets.

"That was you" he said in a shocked tone and raked a hand through his hair, "what else can you do?" He asked with a soft chuckle and I shrugged. Fight, assemble a gun in under 19 seconds, read body language, use my brain, walk, read...is there something I'm missing? Switch personalities.

"What are you doing here?" I asked sipping my soda, "I was invited by a friend from the USF" he shrugged and I nodded in understanding.

The short dark hair girl Jessica, was making her way over, her shirt missing a couple buttons causing her breasts to spill out of her small top. Her tiny skirt swayed as she made her way towards us, her eyes focused on Christian, "Hello there, and who might you be?" She asked flipping her short hair.

"Just a guy" he says nonchalantly and she laughs. What's so funny? Did I miss the joke? "What are you doing with Ba-?" She began and I cut her off.

"Aren't you at least a bit tired of flirting with all the men here?" I asked simply out of curiosity and she looks down at me, "And don't you get sad when you think about how your-" I shushed her, pressing my index finger against her plump lips. If she doesn't shut up then she'll ruin everything and I've spent almost a year of torture for it to just slip through my hands because she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

I was fuming.

"Jessica I'll give you a few seconds to think about what you were going to say before I rearrange your face into something I can bare to look at" I warned her and she squinted her eyes at me, "whatever" she scoffed and sauntered away.

I sighed in relief and began searching the crowd of people leaned up against their cars for Kelie and her brother. "Where are you going?" Christian asked and I turned to face him. He has his hands in his jeans pockets as he stared at me in confusion, his denim jeans jacket wrapped around him comfortably.

"home" I lied. Tucking a piece of hair behind my ear I walked away.
