CHAPTER 2: RACING AND FIGHTING

CODY'S P.O.V

I watched as my best friend tackled the new girl. Well i guess that one way to get a girl. Mr.Nick looked at them with amusement in his eyes and said,"Kyle, is there a reason you tackled poor Isabelle?" He looked up at him innocently and said,"I didn't tackle her, i just made her fall while hugging her." That got everyone laughing, even me. Mr.Nick rolled his eyes and said,"Well, take your seat and please, if you want to tackle someone, well i was going to say do it in the hallway, but just don't tackle people at all, unless on the field." Me and Kyle play football. Yes, i'm the quater back. After Mr.Nick got the class under control, i studied the new girl Isabelle. I heard Kyle say that she use to have blonde hair. Figures, i bet she's a poser. But she is the most beautiful girl i've ever seen.

She has awesome straight black hair that looks so soft. And her eyes that i saw when she was glaring at me, they are a beautiful silver, the most silver eyes i've ever seen. And she's a natural skinny, not like the one that starve themselves. I looked at Kyle, how does he know her? Why do i care? Why do i feel like i want to rip his head off when he's that close to Isabelle? I shook my head to clear all the thoughts. I looked at them both and saw that they were having an intense conversation on a peice of paper.

Hmm, i'll have to ask Kyle about that later because he's never serious. I tried to pay attention to the lesson but i kept looking back at Isabelle. No, i can't like her, no she's a poser! Ugh!

ISABELLE'S P.O.V

After Mr.Nick got the class settled down, Kyle wrote me a note. It said:

I'M SO GLAD YOUR BACK! And you finally decided to let you natural black hair grow out i see. It looks good! But, um, when did you come out of the... coma?

I knew he was going to ask that. See, i'm a street racer, well, was. I was also a street fighter. but one night, it all went bad.

(FLASHBACK)

I was 14 and the best street fighter and street racer. I was undeafetable and unstoppable. I was known all through out America. Well tonight, i was pissed at my dad because he said Kyle was a freak, gothic, and that he didn't want me talking to him anymore. I was fighting my 32nd fight today. I was really over doing it, well that's an overstaement. After i won, i decided to go race. I got on my bike and doomed away to where they hold the races. They hold them on back roads that have been abandoned.

**1 HOUR LATER**

Again, i was over doing it by this being my 40th race. I was on a roll. I revved the engine and looked at my enemy who i was racing. We were both going over 200 miles. Then it all just went wrong. I hit a big rock, and then my bike started wobbling. Then all i could remember was seeing the ground coming up, and coming up fast, while thinking,"Oh fudge!"

**1 year later**

I was at this deserted dreams. I knew i should wake up, but why? What's the point when i'm so comftable here? But what about Kyle? And Drake? And my mom and dad? I should wake up, but i'm scared too. What if i look uglier than before? What if my parents found out my reputation? What if i disgusted them by it? What if they hate me? UGH! Ok, no more What If's! I'm going to wake up. All the deserted beach dissappered untill i was falling into nothingness. Then i could suddenly feel my legs, arms, and everything else. I worked on it but i finally got my eyes open. I looked aeround my room and had to blink a few times. My eyes felt soar, my throat dry, and i felt stiff. I looked around and saw that I wasn't hooked up to anything so i got up.

It was hard to walk at first but i managed and then i walked out into the hallway. I saw a nurse and walked over to her. She looked at me and i saw a flash of reconition come over. Ok? She rushed over to me and said,"Mrs.Drift! You awake! And walking?" Confusion swept over her face but then she called the doctor.

(END OF FLASHBACKS)

I realized that i zoned out for about 10 minutes. I wrote back to Kyle:

About a year after i went in it. They said that they thought i wouldn't wake up for another 10 years! They said i shouldn't have remembered how to walk, talk, or even remember anything at all! I was lucky they said.

I gave it to him. I watched his face to see it go into shock. He then quickly replied and gave me the note. It read:

Dang!! That's amazing!! Did you give up? I mean street fighting and... racing?

I sighed. I loved street fighting but racing was my passion. It was my whole world for a long time. It was my passion, my hobby, and my life. I replied:

Yes, i had to. I couldn't go through that again. I wouldn't put my parents through that again...

I watched his face go into shock then disbelief. He just stared at me. He shook his head and started replying back. It said:

NO WAY! THE FAMOUS STREET RACER LIGHTING STRYKER GAVE UP RACING!! That is just a shock to me and probably all your fans. What if you were more careful, maybe race in a real car? You could use your other favorite car! What happen to it being your life? I thought you were going to become a famous national racer one day! What happened to the dtermined little girl i use to know?

I read it over twice. My street fighting and racing name almost made me burst into tears right then and there. I looked at him and just shook my head while he looked dissapointed. I wrote back:

I can't Kyle, i'm not the same, i'm not who i use to be. Things have happened. Alot of them. I wish i was the same, but i don't think i can go back to that life no matter how much i want to. I just... can't

He read it and nodded. He put the note up. He would probably get rid of it. I thought back to my glory days. The days of racing and fighting. I almost went to tears but i stopped. I pushed away the memories, i took a few deep breaths and put on my mask of emotionlessness. After the bell rang, i breezed out of the room before anyone else. I missed my racing. Maybe...

CODY'S P.O.V

After the bell rang, i saw Isabelle breeze out of the room before anyone else. I wonder what that's about. I was going to ask Kyle but before i could, he left. Wtf? I fell abandoned today. All through my mourning classes, i had Isabelle in all of my classes, but also Kyle. He just stared at her while she zoned out. I want to know what they were talking about! DANG IT! I hate being out of the loop. When lunch arrived, Kyle didn't sit with me, he sat with Isabelle. WTF!? He's ditching me for a girl? One that he's probably going to play with, then dump?

I don't understand him sometimes! Whatever. I bet Isabelle's just after his popularity. Stupid chick. I just observed them. Kyle hasn't made a move yet. And they seem to just hang out? Ugh! Why do i feel jealous? Yes, i admit i am jealous! BUT I HAVE NO CLUE WHY? What is this poser doing to me?

ISABELLE'S P.O.V

We had all the plans made out. This is a trip to the past...
