ride till we die

chapter 42 : happiness ends with you P2

this was short lived as the girl who starts the races struts out before our cars.

" are we ready" she questions looking between us both.

no type of reply comes from the hell cat beside me their engine purring with a low growl.

I nod at the girl giving the car beside me one last glance as I get ready to race.

the girl give us a big smile before raising the checkered flag in her right hand.

"ready ...."  we both start to rev our engines determined to be the first to shoot off  "steady..." I ease my revving opting to take the driver beside me in surprise by giving them the thought of them winning "go !".

both cars lurch forward with speed  I let the  black hell cat gain a little before me.

we stay like this for  for a while battling it out as we speed down the long strip of road.

we hit the first green maker I put my foot down a bit more.

getting next to the drives window I give them a quick toothy smile as if I were taunting them.

 I pick up more speed  with the idea I would leave them a few meters behind me seeing that the next marker was a few yards approaching.

to  my surprise this never happens they still stick behind me their headlights in line  with my back seat I gain more speed as we push past the second marker.

this is when the hell cat  drops back a few inches then speeds up again to be in level with my back window.

they do this again however inching forward to be where my door closes.

their playing with me like a taunting game of cat and mouse.

I grit my teeth and push my speed up.

the hellcat continues to stay by my side.

the finishing line comes in view i frown and pick up more speed ready to leave this driver.

they drop back again however this time the unmistakable whine of the hell cats  super charge winding up  starts setting a small amount of panic off inside me.

before I could register it the hell cat speeds off down the road leaving me to furiously trying to  gain speed to try and catch up.

the hell cat makes it over the line leaving me a few yards behind it.

"fuck" I curse in frustration how the fuck did I lose.

I watch as the hell cat drifts around the end of the road and makes it way back to the crowd.

I get struck with a weird sense of da ja vie as that what I did the last time I raced..... Hailee?

I follow  the hellcat  that speeds past me with growing suspicion.

HAILEE POV

I let out a laugh as I drift around the corner.

"I bet her I finally beat her!" I cheer out giving my car a small pat on its wheel.

as I pass Taylor to see  her face written in confusion as the gears in her head practically run at highs speeds trying to figure out who has just beaten her.

I laugh again speeding back towards the crowd.

as I reenter everyone lets out loud cheers i stop and wait for Taylor to get back.

my friends move to the front of the crowd standing on the passenger side of my car all still waiting for me to emerge out this car.

thank god for this tint I'm glad they cant see me laughing at them.
