this doesn't just happen!

~Chapter 5~

I don't know where the sudden boost of confidence came from in order to talk to Michael, but I found myself sitting down with Michael beside me, engaged in an actual conversation with me and he seemed to enjoy himself.

"Okay wait wait" he said through gasps of laughter. "So all your tattoos and piercings are from everytime you've had a fight with your parents?" he said with a big genuine smile.

"Well, it kind of started when I meet this guy, Shane. He wasn't the best influence on me. Anyway, when I was first sent to detention and told Dad about it, he flipped out and grounded me. I called Shane and he came and snuck me out my window and that's when I got this" I said pointing to my nose piecing.

"Fuck, what did your dad say when he saw it?" he asked eyebrows raised.

"Don't look at me like that" I said giving him a friendly shove. "That was when I decided not to care about him anymore and not to worry about my future like a crazy person" I said downing the rest of my drink.

"Want another?" Michael asked sitting forward in his seat.

"Umm, su-" I was cut off by Lexie.

"She can't, believe it or not she's driving us home tonight" she said raising her eyebrows at me.

"But she's had way too much to drink to drive home" he said looking at Lexie and pointing to me, looking confused.

"Yeah I don't care, and she likes it when I drink drive" I said laughing.

"Why? Do you go around smashing things?" he said flashing me the most sexy smile I had ever seen.

"No, I just drive super fast and somehow manage to keep the car in one piece" I said. He leaned in toward me, inches from my face.

"Show me" he said his sexy smile slowly melting me. I smiled back and held out my hand towards Lexie as she put to keys in my hand, our eyes never leaving each others.

"Lets go" I said getting up from my chair.

I was blowing myself away with all this confidence that had consumed me since I met Michael. There was something about him that made me feel...good. I felt liked I could be care free, with him.

We got in the car and I turned the key in the ignition.

"Ready?" I said smiling at him.

"Yeah" he said smiling back.

I put the car in reverse and put my foot to the ground, squealing the tires on the cement. The car launched back and out the driveway. I slammed my foot on the clutch and shoved the gear stick into first gear. I slammed my foot down on the accelerator, we launched foward and I changed gears up to second,

third,

forth,

fifth gear.

"Fuck!" Michael gasps pushing his feet into the car's floor holding onto and anything that would stabilise himself. I looked at him and giggled. "Shut up" he said, "You're insane" he said. I laughed out loud and turned back to the road. A corner, great.

As I approached the corner i dropped a gear, tapping the clutch and ripped the hand brake up and pulling the wheel round, letting the back end of the car swing around the corner.

"Fuuuck!" Michael yelled dragging the word. I laughed at him, and jumped gears again hitting hundred and twenty down the straight road. I looked over at him, his eyes were about to pop out of his head and his knuckles white.

I turned back to the road. I slammed my foot on the brake bringing the gears down to one and into neutral. The car screeched to sudden halt, giving Michael and I whip-lash.

"Holy fuckin shit!" Michael exclaimed gasping for air finally letting his hands relax. "You're fucking nuts" he said laughing and rubbing his face moaning. I laughed with him and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"You okay?" I asked through my giggles.

"Yeah" he said still gasping air. I started the car again and sped down the straight road and around the block keeping the speed at a hundred.

I pulled up to the curb out the front of the house and saw the rest of the boys standing out the front. I saw Lexie and Ashton laughing and touching. I smiled and got out the car.

Michael walked around the car and came up to walk next to me as we crossed the road.

"How was it?" the guy called Luke said.

"Fuckin wicked!" he yelled causing him and I to laugh again.

"Come on, we better go" I said grabbing her hand and pulling her toward the car.

"I'll see you later?" Michael said taking a couple of steps toward me. I smile and let my head drop trying to hide my obvious blushing. He smiled back as I turned around and walked back to the car.

I got in and waited for Lexie to shut her door.

"So how was it?" she asked facing her body to me.

"How was it with you and Ashton?" I smiled and started the engine, peeling away from the curb punching up through the gears, making the tires squeal on the road.
