"Oh my god, this Corvette is so fucking sexy." I ran my hand along the peeling red paint. It wasn't in the best condition, but a Corvette was a Corvette. "Can I drive it?" "There's no engine. We used it for parts," Drake said. My heart sank into my stomach, and I let out a wheeze. "You what?" "We were running low on funds, so we did what we had to do," Josiah said. "It never meant anything to us anyway." What the fuck? "How the hell can you call yourselves a racing team if you're willing to do that to one of the best-looking cars ever made?" I shook my head. "It's disgusting." "What? Racing?" Drake's mouth fell open. "Oh my god, no. We wanted a driver." I looked over at Josiah, then Drake. "I drive cars for a living, therefore I'm a driver. What's the confusion?" "You said you drove for RTR," Josiah said. I nodded. "Yeah, Roger Truscott Racing." "Oh no. Oh my god. Look, in our line of work, that means Real Time Robotics," Drake said. "Robotics? What the fuck is going on?" I asked. "You wouldn't happen to know much about combat robotics, would you?" Drake forced a smile, and it wasn't difficult to see the hope leave his eyes. *** Katie Moore is a controversial figure in the car racing world with several strikes against her. One, she is a female. Two, she is a female with opinions. And three, she is a female with opinions who thoroughly enjoys sharing them with no inhibition. A one-track mind (with a few side streets), all she wants is to win a race to shut everyone up about her mistakes and misfortunes. But when she's down on her luck, a team of nerds finds their way into her life, giving her an offer that she probably should refuse.

"So all I'm hearing is that I'm winning," I said, smiling at him. "Is everything a competition with you? I'm just trying to live here." "There are two types of people: life's winners and life's losers. I've been a loser for way too long now, and no one's going to stop me from evening the score." He shook his head. "You've lost a few games, metaphorically. That doesn't make you a loser." "That sounds like loser talk. And trust me, without me, you'd be losing everything." "I've been saying that for years, and you're just now beginning to believe it?" "Viktor, I've always known it, but that's what I'm trying to fix. We're going to be winners together, you and me, and whoever stands in our way is about to get steamrolled. Maybe I'm a bitch, but fuck it. I'm going to be the winningest bitch you've ever known." Amanda Jayne has goals, many goals, but most of them revolve around getting her close friend Viktor to score enough of them to get drafted into the NHL. After her graduation from Madison High, she has her sight set on Winterview University, the only college to accept her given her disciplinary record. But it also happens to be the school of her dreams, because of a promise she made to Viktor once upon a time. But when unforeseen changes are thrown at Amanda and her loved ones, how is she going to make those goals fit into the new circumstances? *COMPLETED* Cover by @HerCrystalHart

"Why are you getting upset?" he asked. "Because everything is different now. Call it my lack of emotional intelligence, but I can't stand you!" "What's different?" "Everything is. You know everything. You're holding the key to the world just above my fingertips." "What?" "You know exactly what I mean." He rubbed his eyes with his hand. "If I'm doing that, it's only because I'm giving it to you. I'm not against you, and I don't know why you think I am. This was supposed to be a peace offering." "I don't want peace. I just-" I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. "I just want everything to go back to the way it was." "Before me?" I nodded. Amanda Jayne is a sports-loving, change-resisting math enthusiast. She loves "her" people more than anything in the world, and nothing can ever break their bond. Or so she thought. When her brother's best friend Viktor moves in as a foreign exchange student, he shows Amanda what loyalty doesn't mean, and that trust can be built up and broken down like sandcastles. Can they learn to coexist, or will their different points of view drive them apart? Rewritten version completed July 14, 2020

"For a place called Paradise City, this island sucks. I don't think a single day has gone by that I haven't thought about stabbing the shit out of myself," he said. "Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day." "Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars. "See anything interesting?" "Not really. My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself.
