I love Fridays

There like the best days ever

There a lot of reasons for how much I love Fridays but the main reason is that my car races are on those days.

Car races equal regular riley. Which means I get to ditch the girl clothes and the crappy car and I get to go to my garage of - I don't know how many - cars and get to pick what I get to.

No buddy to worry about but myself. I get to hang out with the people that know me. To feel like I belong somewhere.

Now I said that I have had two brothers but I never mentioned me "sister". She is not really my sister but I'm so close to her that's what I consider her. She has always been there for me and always cares about me. When Scott wasn't over helping me it was her. She goes to a different school so I the only time I got to see her was on The weekends. She would always come to my races and couldn't wait to see her. Her name is Nikki.

Now here I am counting down the seconds until school ends so I could get home as fast as I can so I could make dinner for the boys.

The bell went off and I headed straight to my car. Then I bumped into someone.

" Watch where your going." said the person I bumped into. I looked up to see that it was Dylan.

" Sorry Dylan. I was just in a hurry."

" Hey wait aren't you riley conners?"

"Yeah?"

" Your friends with Scott. Your pretty good at lacrosse."

"The best."

"Alright let's not get to cocky."

"Whatever."

" So are you going to the race tonight." at our school racing wasn't a big deal

But if someone from our school was challenged then people would make a big deal out of it. Some times the whole school came to see the race.

" Nope." I flat put lied

" Ok your going to miss one good race." he said. Well I'm going to be in the race. I thought to myself.

" Yeah yeah ok." I said walking away from him. I got to my car and got in as fast as I can.

Time to race

When I pulled up to race track everyone knew which one was my car and I got crowed by a lot of people. I got out of my car and pushed my way through

" Hey hey hey let the racer breath." said Thomas. Thomas was the race track owner and he took me under his wing after he found out what happen.

" Hey Thomas! long time no see." I said laughing

" Eh well I've been busy."

" To busy to come to my races."

" Yeah."

"It's fine I was joking." we kept on talking until it was time to race. I said bye and got into my car. I pulled my car up to the starting line.

" Racers start you engines!" said the girl in front. my Opponent started his engine. It wasn't that impressive. I started my roaring engine and got ready to go.

The girl counted down to three and then we were off. It depends on what track we would go on to see who would win. We took the easy one because the guy was only a beginner.

In the end I won but I let the dude keep his car. It was the least I could do. I walked around till I was pulled into a giant bear hug.

" I missed you so much riley!" When I heard that voice I instantly got happy. I hugged my best friend back.

" We talked to each other just yesterday!" I said

" I know but I haven't seen you." she said letting go of me.

" Ok ok Nikki."

" You did great out there."

" Thanks!" I said. We started talking and before I knew it I had to go.

" Oh shit Nikki I got to go. call you!" I said hugging her and running to my car.

" Bye!" she yelled

God I love Fridays
