How you met Steve

It was a sunny day at the racing track, you brought your Shelby GT350 to the race track, the only thing you were nervous about was the greasers there. You were a Soc and you didn't know how they would react to you going to race your new car. As you pulled up they were already staring at you, the girls giving you looks of disgust and the guys giving a mixture of disgust while nodding their head at your choice of car. You parked your car at the end and got out walking around to the front and popping the hood to look over everything.

As you were tightening a bolt, one of the greaser girls came over. "What's a soc like you doing here?" you looked back at her and said, "I came to watch guys race and maybe race my car if I'm given the chance to." She walked a little closer and looked under the hood and said "what do you have under there?" You got excited and explained, "In the engine compartment, you'll find a fairly standard Ford 289-cubic inch V-8, but with some Kobra Kustom accessories bolted on. Tommy starts with the 271-hp "High-Performance" version of the 289 V-8, and adds a high-riser intake manifold, welded-tube headers, and cast-aluminum valve-rocker covers which raise peak power to 306. Also, the pressed-steel stock oil sump is replaced with a bathtub-sized cast-aluminum sump, complete with cooling fins and all that sexy stuff."

She smirked and walked back over to the rest of the greasers, you watched a few of the guy's race and smack talk to each other you started to feel out of place. You made your way back to the diver's side and was about to get in when a greaser yelled at you "hey! You just gone sit there and watch or do you wanna get your butt handed to you and race me?!" you looked behind you and saw no one there and pointed to yourself, asking if he meant you. "Yes you soc, why don't you let me show you how to handle that car." That made you mad, you opened your door and yelled back at him "I'll make you eat my dust buddy, better yet I'll show you the end of my bumper when I win this race!" you got in your car and started it up.

You pulled up to the start line, your heart was in your throat and you could hear your pulse in your ears, one of the girls came between you and the other racer and held up her scarf, looking at you and the other guy. When she snapped her hand that had the scarf down you gunned it, you didn't bother looking over at the other racer. You just focused on winning, you glanced over and didn't see the other racer as you crossed the finish line. Quickly doing a U-turn that sounded like it left tire marks on the ground.

You got out of your car and saw the other guy's car started smoking. You drove over to him as he opened the hood and black smoke was coming out faster now, you quickly popped open your trunk and got the fire extinguisher out, and ran over and sprayed his engine to prevent a fire from starting. You were out of breath from reacting, your heart felt like it was going to pound out of your chest, you turned to the guy and said "I'm sorry your car broke down, that has to suck." You two stared at each other and smiled.

"I'm Steve, what's your name girly?" he asked with a smirk on his face. "It's Y/N, you put up a good race, it was my first one, to be honest," you said as you put the extinguisher down. "My dads a tow truck driver, I can give him a call to come to tow your car if you want?" you said as you rubbed the back of your neck. After that day, you started helping Steve work on his car to get him back into racing. 

Hey, my beautiful lovelies! I wasn't really motivated to write Steve today but it was kinda hard for me but here it is! I'll post another one tomorrow, stay gold.
