Metanoia

Chapter 2 - Bryan

"WALTER!" Sadie shouted for her boyfriend's name while running to hug him.

"Hey beauty, oh hey Hailie, so good to see you. I would hug you or at least shake your hand, but currently, I'm having no empty hands to do so."Walter said as he pointed to his girlfriend in his embrace.

Hailie laughed and shook her head: "it's ok, honestly I don't know how you handle her so well all the time, she is so annoying sometimes"

"HEY, I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND YOU ASS HOLE!" Sadie screamed and hit Hailie's head.

Hailie chuckled as she looked around. It was an illegal car race. With groups of people and gangs around their cars here and there. One of the groups got her attention. They were gathering around a very expensive car and a boy sitting on the hood. She couldn't see them clearly. But they all had these strange bandanas and colours on their hands. They had blue, green, gold and white. But the boy on the hood of the car didn't have any bandanas or colours on him. He wore a black hoodie with a white bird on it with some black jeans. She was pushed out of her thoughts by Sadie's scream: " Hailie where the hell are you ?"

"what? I'm right here. Walter, Sadie said you're bringing a friend. Where is he?"

Walter laughed: "well it's only appropriate to say he is the one bringing us here. And to answer your question, you were stalking him earlier and he is coming this way, right behind you."

"I didn't stalk any-"

"hey old man, I see you brought these young beautiful ladies."

Hailie turned around and saw the boy with a black hoodie and a bird on it.

"Jesus Bryan, I told you to stop calling me that. You're older than me for god's sake!"

The boy, Bryan as Walter said, laughed. And Hailie could swear she had heard it before somewhere.

"One year older is not that much, and your name is the name of an old man in his late 90s, not a young 17 years old boy buddy. Anyways, who are these beautiful ladies?"

"This is my girlfriend Sadie."

Bryan smiled at her and said: "a pleasure to finally meet you, thanks for being his Girlfriend, he was so annoying before." And winked at Sadie. he returned to Hailie and smiled even bigger. "And who is this little strawberry?"

Hailie blushed at the nickname and said: "I'm Hailie, Sadie's friend."

Bryan bowed a little and answered: "so nice to meet you, ma'am. I'm Bryan. And also THANK GOD IM NOT THIRDWHEELING ALONE."

They all laughed at him shouting the last part.

"okaaaay. Now that everyone knows each other, let's get s.th to eat and I'll lead you to our seats." he turned to Hailie and whispered: "you are sitting with me strawberry." and with a wink, he started walking and they all went to get some snacks.

Hailie couldn't focus on the race. Not that she didn't want to or didn't like car racing. She just couldn't focus when Bryan was sitting next to her with that gorgeous face. She also couldn't stop thinking. Bryan had brought them to the first row, with personal screens to watch the whole race. But he was only 18, according to Walter, and there was no way in hell he could afford the money for these sits. When she asked how much he paid, he simply answered by " I don't pay for many things strawberry" and Hailie was dying to know what he meant by that.

And was it legal to look this hot? He had these beautiful blue eyes like the sea, brunt hair. He was tall and now that he was sitting with his plain blue shirt, Hailie could see some beautifully carved abs.
