Today is another day for street racing.

We're currently here at Delta Lane, an abandoned street with a haunted gasoline station. The call time is 9 PM, we arrived at the said time, but the others are still missing in action. How unprofessional of them.

I'm with Kast and we're busy checking out other cars. There's some other cheap and old sports cars, but there's a few cars too that I would consider just fine like Mercedes, Jaguar F-Type and Ford GT. Lahat ay nakaparada rito sa abandonadong gasolinahan. Nagkalat rin ang mga tao kaya init na init ako. I hate crowded places so much.

"That one looks cheap." I laughed. Nakitawa sa akin si Kast at nagturo ng isang mas mukhang luma.

"You shouldn't prepare them that hard. This is a sure win, Erie." He inserted his hands on his bomber jacket.

"Well, who knows? Baka may ibubuga naman ang ibang contestants. We shouldn't be complacent." My shoulders shrugged. "Balita ko may mga invited rin na bigatin na pangalan."

I stopped talking to Kast for a while when I spotted the Wine Red LaFerrari and Dark Blue Lamborghini Aventador that definitely stands out in the dark with two men dressed luxuriously leaning against it. Pumagitna ako sa dalawa at pinatong sa tig-isa nilang balikat ang magkabilang kamay ko. "Do your best." I said, smirking as I pierced my eyes on the other contestants.

I know they're gonna thrash everyone. They are the Sam and Sky that everyone looked up to since they were kids.

They are Infinito's best duo. My best duo.

"Mauuna na raw ang tournament ko. Kulang pa ng isa sa kanila." Sky said, looking calm like the clouds tonight.

"What a VIP." I crossed my arms and pertained to that missing one. "Sino naman 'yon?" Usisa ko. Ano naman ang karapatan niyang ma-late?

"I don't know. But I've heard he just got off from the plane-" He was cut off when someone called his name.

His tournament is about to start.

Sky opened his car door upward. Parang namangha pa ang ibang tao sa nakita at yung iba nagworry. Ang sabi ko nga mababa ang Lamborghini, madali lang sumayad sa lupa and knowing na lubak ang daan dito ay baka pag-uwi namin ay marami na iyong gasgas. Hmm, kaya siguro sila gano'n makareact. But I trust Sky naman. He will take good care of his car while winning this tournament.

"Pizza lang sapat na kapag nanalo ako." He suddenly said and winked.

"Kiss? Ayaw mo?" I teased and I heard Ryde fake gagging beside me.

"Pizza." Pagdidiin pa ni Sky bago isara ang pinto.

I have a good relationship with the boys. But my friendship with these two is on a whole different level. I was homeshooled with them since pre-school days and that made us grew closer as time goes by. We shared a lot of different circumstances and expressed all the emotions with each other. We're so comfortable to joke around too. I feel so free to be myself when I'm with them.
