CHECK OUT THE NEW TRAILER O THE SIDE !!!!
------------------> also the guy on the side is .......... RILEY
recap
I rushed out of the gym changing rooms and practically ran to the library. I knew where the book was so I immediately made my way towards the drama isle. I looked for the book but when I found it and just as I reached for I another hand enclosed around it. I looked up and saw Connor standing there. Is that guy everywhere I am? I mean for 4 to almost 5 years long I never talked to someone at school. I was left alone and I didn't made any effort to change that. And suddenly out of nowhere Connor is everywhere I go, wants to know everything and talk to me? Why? What's so different than those other 5 years? I'm lost here.. The only thing that happened was me bumping into him.
' Are you everywhere I go? ' Right after I said it I slapped my hand on my mouth. I didn't mean to say that. My eyes grew wide. I looked at him and for a second I thought I saw hurt flashing through them. I must be seeing things because it was gone in a blink and he was smirking at me..
' Do you want me to be? ' he had a twinkling in his eyes, he was up to something and I didn't like it for one bit....
____________________________________________________
' Not really, like I told you before , I want you to leave me alone.' I narrowed my eyes at him. Where is this going?
' Yet you can't stay away from me Callaway. Don't you like your friends anymore? ' He smirked. So that what he was up to. It was smart but not smart enough.
' I don't have friends Connor. Nice try, better luck next time ... ' He was trying to find out who my friends are and then ask my name to them. Unfortunately for him I didn't have any friends. Well I guess that was what he was up to, I don't know.
Maybe it's just pure coincidence that we keep bumping into each other. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me. We could've been like this before without the talking but maybe I didn't notice it until we bumped into each other.
What I did know for sure is that he wanted to know about my car and he wanted to know my name.
He also started talking to me which I find very peculiar. I mean why now? Why bother after 5 years to talk to me? I don't get it.
I was snapped out of my rant of thoughts when I felt someone's hot breath against my ear. I quickly looked around and didn't saw Connor anymore. I stayed at the same place but someone had their hands on both sides of my head and trapped me between the wall with books and their body. I could feel his hard stomach pressing against my back. For some strange reason I loved the warmth his strong , muscled chest radiated onto my bod- wait Sky , don't think like that!
Skylar Callaway doesn't like boys. Or anyone for that matter.
' So you do want me to talk to you again? ' He was referring to my "next time".
My breath hitched in my throat when I felt his hot breath flowing against my ear. I was finding it hard to think because of our proximity and didn't trust my voice right now.
God Sky, what's happening to you? You are the tough girl. This is not you. I blame it on Connor it's his fault I feel this way and for that I dislike him even more.
Really ?
' What's wrong Callaway? Finding it hard to speak? ' I could almost hear the smirk in his voice. When I finally had slàpped myself inwardly because of my stupid behavior, I was acting like some stupid girly girl who had a major crush on someone, I turned around.
I was shocked about how close we really were but quickly hid it. Our foreheads were touching and if we pouted our lips we would be kissing.
Ha not going to happen.
I'm happy about that .... Right?
' Can you leave me alone now? I have an assignment to make. ' I placed my hands on his chest , pushed him away and grabbed the book from his hand.
I rushed out of the library but before leaving I turned to face him and shouted a thank you and left smiling. I outsmarted the playboy, good way to go Sky!
Break was over and I got to math. Luckily this time there was no one in my seat in the back and I went to sit down. When the teacher finished registration and wrote the subject on the blackboard I pulled out the matching exercises and stood up to give it to him. When he looked at it he silently gave me a test.
I went back to my seat and started the test. I was drowned in my little world of knowledge until I finished. Looking over my answers I stood up again to hand in my paper. When I sat back down I saw that I still had an hour and a half of class to go till lunch so I started my book for the second time this month.
The bell rang and I was about midway in my book so I could easily finish it tonight after the race if I'm not too tired. I mostly go to the after party's of the races and fights because it's just a bunch of teenagers with booze. It's fun if you're interested in getting so wasted you can't remember it the next day and having a great time.
I get wasted a lot but most of the time that's just with my gang and then it's fun and I can remember most of the things we did.
I packed my bag and left the classroom.
"the time has come"
I thought to myself dramatically. I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid that sounded. I shrugged it off and got to the back of the school.
They will get 2 options, they will apologize or they will get some beating. I won't tell them like that though, I'll just ask them to apologize and if they don't I'll beat them., wait does that make me a bully?
Ah why the hell would I care.
I was waiting for about 10 minutes and it was starting to get chilly out here. They ditched me? They were to scared?
What a joke.
And I thought they were tough... If they won't face me in private, let's make it a public scene then.
I know I sound like a real bitch but I don't care right now. They almost ràped me and made the terrible dreams come back. They made me feel vulnerable again.
They will pay for that.
I returned to the hallways. Looking for the wimps of course. I looked in the lunchroom first but they weren't there yet so I checked their lockers.
There they were all 4, joking. Did they not know I would come after them? Of course not, I'm a nerd here... Still they deserve payback. But will this endanger my reputation as nerd?
I can't give them any more reasons to remember my name. Is this a good idea ? I mean I can beat them up later, I don't have to do it in front of everyone...
But I can humiliate them ...
Not beat just show some confidence. Maybe they will still forget me after that.
You know they won't
Yes they will! It's not because the nerd can open her mouth everyone will start remembering me...
Do you honestly believe yourself?
Yes I do.. besides they don't even know my name, how will they remember it?
...
Me-1 inner self - 0
Proud of myself.
As I ended my internal battle I went up to them. They were laughing about something Cameron said, of course, they're his puppy's.
Show time.
' Hey, Cameron. ' I tapped impatiently on his back. He turned around and I saw his eyes widen.
' Are you that much of a wimp? You can't even face your victim... ' I said, oh scrèw it!
I lifted my fist and swung at him. As my fist collided with his nose I also felt my knuckled splitting.
That'll leave some cuts ...
' THAT was for almost ràping me. ' I calmly said. His puppies looked lost so I thought I'd help them, what a nice person am I not?
I grabbed two of their heads and swung them at each other and I kneed the last one in the crotch.
' And THAT was for helping him àssholes!. ' I yelled and stormed off. So much for not pùnching them. But once I saw that bastards face I couldn't control myself anymore.
Good thing I got some closure now, maybe the dreams will stop now..
I made my way through the shocked students to the canteen. Today was pizza day and I just love pizza. Because it was already late there was almost no line and I went to pick up 2 slices of pepperoni and paid the lunch lady. As I waited for my change I saw everyone whispering and pointing at me.
I guess word travels fast.
Good.
I got my change and left the canteen to go outside and sit next to the big tree on school grounds.
The rest of the day went by pretty uneventful , I didn't see Cameron or his puppies nor did I Connor tried to talk to me. I was pretty glad and soon it was the end of the day.
The race was coming closer and I had so much to do, I just wanted to get home. Miss brown was finishing her lecture about god and respect and stuff until the bell rung.
As fast as possible, I put my books in my bag and ran out the classroom, I rushed to my locker, grabbed some books and put some away. I also took my car keys off one of the shelves as I came with my Chevrolet this morning and stepped off school grounds.
I walked the two short blocks back to my car and had the feeling someone was watching or following me. I shrugged it off, it was probably me, being nervous about tonight, I really need to win from Riley, for the team, for Derek and just for the heck of it, I know it would annoy him to no end.
I was just about to get into my car when someone stopped me.
Connor of course.
He had this smirk-player-I-got-you-look on his face and how I wished I could just punch it right off his face.
' I knew I didn't dream the car..' He said it with this smudgy look on his face. Where's the guy who begged to know my name?
' Clap, clap you aren't crazy, are you happy now? ' I said bitterly. He needs to leave me alone, I'm wasting my time here...
' No, I'm just wondering why you parked here and not in school, why would you hide this baby? ' He nodded at my car and he tried to cover up a look of admiration.
' Personal reasons, now can I go? I really have somewhere to be.. ' I was beyond annoyed. I know my toleration lever is very low.
' Where are you going? It's Friday night and there are no parties planned that I know of? Aren't you supposed to study now nerd? ' Did he really think that calling me a nerd is helping? I think not.
His whole sweet-guy façade is flushed. Gone. Footsie.
' None of your concern. ' I spat and got in my car. I put my key in the ignition and because he wouldn't move I almost ran him over.
Stupid boy, I tell you that.
I put my thoughts of Connor away as I arrived home. I locked my car and unlocked the front door. I stepped in, putting my key in the bowl on the table next to the door, and rushed upstairs. Before getting in the shower I texted the boys to bring some food to the garage because I wouldn't have the time to eat before going there.
I got in, washed my hair with my strawberry shampoo, rinsed it out and got out. As I stood in front of my closet I wrapped a towel around my bare body to dry it off. I chose light blue skinny ripped jeans, a white vest top with gold studded shoulders, an also studded black leather jacket to match the shirt and my combat boots. I let my hair dry in loose curls and put on some make up, it was a special occasion after all. Not much though, just some foundation, to mask the still yellow bruise. I also put some eye-liner and mascara on, just because I can.
Once I loved the bad-ass look I took my phone, car and house keys and back to my Chevrolet.
(Outfit : http://www.polyvore.com/m/set?.embedder=10868820&.svc=copypaste&id=125552326 )
I drove out my driveway and sped up until I was at the garage.
I don't really care about speed limits.
The boys were already there and I could already smell the taco bell food.
Food first.
Food = life
I walked up to them and when they all noticed I was there they gasped.
' Is something wrong guys? ' I laughed at their faces. They looked funny so I took out my phone and shot some pics of them.
' Damn girl, you look smokin' hot! ' Carter jelled and stood up to hug me, but as I said before I'm not a hugger except when it comes from Jake or Gabe so I quickly glared at him so he got the message. He sat back down and sat next to him.
' He's right Sky, you really look awesome.' Jake said looking me up and down. I noticed they were all staring at me.
' Ewe guys, stop checking me out , it's weird you're all like brothers.. ' I scrunched up my nose while taking the food in my lap. They all looked embarrassed and started laughing.
Yep , those are my boys.
After fooling around for a few hours I thought it would be time to finish the car. I put on an overall to protect my clothes from getting dirty. I got under the hood and started connecting the last pipe to the air filter and started to tighten the bands around the pipes using a spanner.
Once I finished checking if every pipe and cable was in place and finished the blower on the hood I sighed.
My baby was finally done. I finally had a 1969 Dodge Charger for the race tonight. The only thing I have to do now is spray paint it. The guys helped me and now the car is a beautiful mate black. It's just too awesome !!
I looked at my phone and saw a text from Gabe.
~Gabe Montgomery~
Have fun tonight, I know you got this girl.
I smiled at the text, he's just too sweet, I texted back saying I would kick Riley's ass !!
I told the boys I was meeting them there as I wanted to get there a little early to run some checkups after all, this was a brand new car. I was actually really proud of myself, I finished this old car in 3 months which is pretty great if I may say. I said goodbye to the boys and put the key in the ignition.
1969 Dodge Charger.
I love it.
I started the engine and I couldn't help but smile when it roared alive. This was it. I was driving towards the airport, going to my first race against Riley. He probably wants to make some bets. He surely will ask if I lose I will have to join his lame-ass gang. And of course me being me I will agree. That guy just really knows how to push my buttons... And my pride.
I was so deep in thought I didn't even see I was almost at the airport. The last few minutes of the ride I just enjoyed the car.
It runs so smooth.
I could drive this car all day .. It feels so good. My Chevy is getting some competition ...
I pulled up at my tent at the airport. Gabe chose the perfect night. The airport was closed for some odd reason I didn't bother to remember and he lighted it really cool. The way we had to race was illuminated by yellow lights so we could at least see and the tents set up for the racers were each in another color. Mine was black so it blended in with the dark night , loved it. The bar had many lights and the music was already blasting and drunk people were already grinding.
Disgusting.
I never liked those dirty dances yet people always seemed to like them...
I chuckled slightly, Riley had gotten a red tent, I knew he asked for the black one but I would always get the black one since I'm nice to Gabe and we've known each other for ages now. There were 3 other tents except from mine and including Riley's.
There's an orange , green and blue one. Probably two challengers first.
Some starters , I like it.
I parked my car in the tent and turned the little light on. I started inspecting my car for any flaws but I couldn't find one. Just how I loved it.
When I was done checking every part of the car that needs to run perfectly I saw my gang pulling up. They greeted me and went straight to the bar to get us some warming drinks. Well get them some warming drinks, I'm not drinking. I need to be sharp for this. I don't want to leave my gang.. I love them too much for that.
While arguing with myself over going for another test ride, I took a glance at the clock and saw it was almost twelve. The race was about to start and Riley wasn't here... Would he bale ? I don't hope so, I really want to know which car he bought AND if I could beat him..
I finally understand now how people feel when they say " speak of the devil and he shall appear " because right when I thought he was going to bale on me I saw a shining red Shelby gt500Eleanor advancing towards the red tent. How ironic. I have a black car and the black tent and he a red one with a matching red tent.
I saw Riley advancing towards me and while I was actually a bit nervous on the inside, I played it cool on the outside.
As always.
After that him and his bitch reached me , he was just being cocky about himself until Carter and Jake came to save me. Much to my relief. I was too focused on my car and how the race would be going to acknowledge their conversation.
After another couple of minutes I heard Gabe's voice through the microphone.
' The big moment has come people, if you wanted to bet who's going to win, bummer 'cause you're too late. The winners of the last challenges are on the screen right now but that's not why you're all here right ? ' The crowd was going crazy .. ' I thought so, can Riley Hogget and Skylar Callaway please make their way to the start ? '
That's my cue..
The boys cheered me on while I gave them a nervous smile and a thumbs up. While driving towards the first lane, I took a glance at Riley in his car. As If he knew I would look over his car, he gave me this smug look and roared his engine. My nerves were getting worse.
I didn't know if my car was actually better or not ... His car had about 3-400 PK if he hadn't worked on it. Mine had originally 200 but I upgraded it to 600 PK but if he had upgraded his car as much as mine .... I don't know.
When I got to the start, I got out of my car and went to stand next to Riley, both looking at Gabe to seal the bet.
' Okay , you can have 1 command each, you have one chance and you can ask anything you want, I'll tell you if it's appropriate or not .' Riley smirked and Gabe looked at me apologetically. I knew this were the rules and if I didn't accept the bet I couldn't race.
' I want her in my gang if she loses. ' Riley said firmly. Of course. What should I ask ?
' I want his car if he loses. ' I said as firmly as him. I tried not to look nervous because that would totally boost his confidence.
' Those requests are both approved. Now get those engines started ! 'He yelled so the crowd would get more crazy every second.
The track wasn't far, but it was tricky. It was dark and only a few lights illuminated the road, there was one turn but I was the hardest turn I know..
"prepare and breathe, you can do this, just stay calm." I told myself knowing I was about to freak out.
The flag girl got in between our cars and held the flag up. I started my engine and got ready for the start.
Ready
Set
Go !
I dropped the clutch just a second before Riley and sped forwards leaving some space between us.
I could handle this !
I pushed my foot on the accelerator a little bit more, creating a gap between our cars as the bend quickly approached. I moved slightly to my left so when I started my drift I would have enough space. I turned the steering wheel to the left as I approached the corner and pulled on my handbrake when I hit the right point in the corner. I felt the backend of my Dodge start to slide which signaled me to release the handbrake and turn right into the drift, I powered it which carried me around the deadly corner. When the path was straight again I also straightened my steering wheel and shot straight forward. I achieved quite some distance and carried on heading towards the finish line. I looked into my rearview mirror once and saw Riley slowly coming out of the corner , not being able to handle it fast enough to keep up with me.
I reached the finish line first and jumped out of my car.
I won the challenge.
I won the challenge. I
don't have to go to Riley's gang!
I beat Riley!
I'm the best racer in town.
I can rebuilt a Shelby gt500 Eleanor !!!
I was so caught up in my moment of victory that it hadn't occurred to me yet that hordes of exited people were forming a circle around me, trapping me. Their cheers brought me back to reality and I saw Jake and Ryan's head popping out of the crowd. They were probably sitting on Justin and Carter's shoulders hence why I didn't see them.
They were both waiving at me to come over but first I wanted to see the look on Riley's face when he has to hand over the keys of his brand new car. This is the first time he lost a race. I guess I was better than I thought because his car was slightly better than mine if he had worked on it. I locked my car and threw the keys at Jake so he could drive it to the garage as I was driving my new Shelby GT500 Eleanor.
Walking to Riley's car I saw that he was looking at the windscreen, deep in thought with a look of shock evident on his face. I opened the door and called his name so he could hand over my keys. I wanted to get out of here before anyone caught us and I had to spend the night in jail, again. He didn't budge until Gabe came to stand next to me, snapping Riley out of his thoughts by clapping his hand in front of his eyes. A trail of emotions flashed in front of his eyes..
Shock-Realization-Shame-Anger
I felt kind of bad for him even though he deserved a bit of embarrassment to cool down his giant ego. He did just lost an awesome car.. He got out of the car and threw the keys my way. He left the airport with his gang and Nicole but not before whispering into my ear.
' Just know that you will be mine forever. '
The mix of determination in his eyes and the emphasizing made a shiver run down my spine. I shrugged the uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach off and texted the guys to go to the party of their choice to go celebrate our victory. I followed them and we got to an enormous house, the music blasting out of the speakers and people chattered all over the place.
Let's crash this bitch.
___________________
After partying for way too long and after way too many drinks , Justin somehow got our waisted arses in the car and drove us back to the garage. I was too drunk to even walk so Carter who apparently had driven my new Shelby here, carried me out of the car and onto one of the couches.
From the moment my head hit that pillow, I was out.
