Mike and Nova <3 Francisco Lachowski as Mike by the way.
Please re-read the end of this chapter if you've already read this because I stuffed something up
"No you cannot come," Titus firmly says to Emberly. It turns out that they did share a room together, he hasn't really said that he likes her but it's obvious. She huffs and crosses her arms over her chest, her dark brown eyes glare into his own brown ones. What are they even talking about?
"I'm allowed to go and I'm going, you can't tell me what to do," she firmly says he scowls at her and is about to say something but it's time for me to ask what's been on my mind.
"What are you talking about?" They both look at me, Emberly grins and slings an arm over my shoulder. She looks at Valentino then Titus, what has she got planned?
"Well it's drag racing, it happens every two weeks and I want to go. Since Willow here hasn't experienced it I think that all of us should go. Val?" He cocks an eyebrow at her and Titus scowls obviously aggravated with her actions.
"No, it's dangerous. You can agree with me on this Val, can't you? You girls won't be able to protect yourselves from the men there, they're disgusting and they won't treat you respectfully," Titus looks at Valentino, waiting for him to back him up on this. He lights up his cigarette and holds it between his middle finger and index finger. Ew he smokes, that's a cancer stick right there.
"Yeah, they shouldn't go," he shrugs. I make a disgusted face looking at the cigarette as he brings it to his lips and inhales it, he breaths out and the smoke comes out in rings. Not that I want to go because my chin is still big and swollen but it will ward guys off anyway, this is for Emberly. I give Valentino the puppy dog eyes, he looks at me suspiciously and looks away quickly but I just walk even closer to him; he can't help but look at me, he groans when he sees my face. "Fine, but you must stay with one of the guys at all times," Titus lets out an angry growl at Val's words.
"Weak man. You're whipped," Titus shakes his head as if disappointed. Val shrugs and after a moment he drops the smoke onto the ground and stomps on it. "Fine, everyone get in your cars! Bring the girls if ya want," he shouts to get their attention from inside the house. After he says this everyone walks out of the house, the guys are all holding keys to their rich cars most likely.
"C'mon princess," Val gestures for me to follow him, tentatively I follow him to his really expensive sleek black car. Don't ask me what brand it is because I don't know brands, I'm not the car type of girl. As soon as we get in he's speeding away, "you better stay with one of the guys, okay?" I don't nod, I don't even respond. I'm too busy thinking about him smoking. It's just bothering me, okay?
"Why do you smoke?" I blurt out, he turns his head to look at me for a brief moment then he turns his attention back to the road. He simply shrugs as a reply, that's not good enough though.
"Calms me down, I guess. You don't feel so stressed when you smoke, you have nothing to worry about," he responds. I nod meekly and don't say anything for a moment, he winds down the window and the breeze runs through my dark brown hair.
"It can kill you. You know that, right?" I speak my thoughts yet again, one hand is on the steering wheel and his other arm is leaning on top of the window that is winded down. He shouldn't be smoking at all, he smirks and side glances me.
"Maybe I don't want to live in this cruel world no more," what is with him and saying 'no more' and 'y'all' and 'ya' he sometimes says it and it irks me. Don't ask me why because I really don't know myself. What he said was deep, I look at him in shock and surprise. "I'm joking. Well not about the world being cruel, though," he shrugs. That's true, this world is cruel. Maybe I don't want to live in this cruel world anymore too. After all there's no one to live for, except Nova. There's no family, no pets, barely any friends, no one.
He winds up the automatic windows after placing his arm back in the car again and he drives across a dirty road, the dirt flies in the air after the car drives over it. It looks like a dry area, he drives further up and I gasp; it's really big. The first thing I notice is an underground road, most likely where they verse underground. Then I see a massive track around the grass and the sounds of rumbling from the cars speeding and trying to beat each other can be heard in the car. There are stands where people are seated and there is places where you can get food. So like little food stalls.
Everyone watches as Valentino's car stops, he gets out and I'm not so sure if I want to. The men are big and scary, tattoos cover their bodies. Worse than Valentino, it even covers some of their faces. The door to my side opens and I quickly look up in surprise, Valentino raises an eyebrow at me and I take a deep breath. I look in the mirror, gosh my chin is still as big as it was before and it's like a baboons butt and grandma purple toes joined together. I shudder at the thought.
"Are you coming?" I nod silently, he grabs my hand and pulls me out of the car. Why is everyone staring at me? At us? It's making me feel really uncomfortable. He shuts the car door and places his hand on my lower back and leads me through the crowd that has formed.
"Why are they staring?" I whisper, my eyes meet a guy that has tattoos all over him; he smirks and winks at me murmuring disgusting things. Obviously Val hears and he isn't too happy, he pushes me to Jarrad and I stumble landing in his arms. Quickly I turn around to see what he is going to do, it's not going to be pretty though. His fist goes flying towards the guys face, he then tackles him to the ground his fist not stopping. Val growls in anger and slams his head to the ground, I gasp.
"Don't you dare say such things to her!" Titus and Mike grab his arms pulling him off the guy with struggle. They lead him away and Nova stands next to me looking at the scene with wide eyes, Cadence shakes her head and grips Aidan's hand; we're all scared and reconsidering staying here to watch them race.
No. I'm Willow Davids and I'm amazing, we all follow Titus and Mike to wherever they dragged Valentino. He's calmed down slightly, he has a can of beer in his hands and he's talking to the guy next to him. The guy looks cold, his eyes are grey, his hair is a silky blonde and his skin is tan. Slowly I walk over to him, I wanna speak to him. Maybe I'm being stupid and it's a terrible idea but its only polite, am I right or am I right?
"Hello!" I chirp sitting next to him, he raises an eyebrow and looks at Valentino; he simply shrugs and takes a sip of the beer. I notice him looking at my chin and I bite my cheek refraining myself from saying anything stupid, but I'm Willow and I am naturally stupid. "I know, my chin looks like a purple grandma toe and a baboon butt," I snap at him, his eyes widen slightly and he looks away from my chin and looks into my brown eyes.
"Um... I.... uh... " he sighs, "that's true." I look at him in disbelief and scoff at his statement; only I can say that, no one else.
"Well you can't talk, you're no better looking. Like, look at you!" Okay it's a total lie, this guy is gorgeous and he even knows that. He chuckles raising an eyebrow. A guy with pale skin, one tattoo on his arm and black hair sits next to the guy I'm speaking to. His eyes are completely emotionless, is that how they look after killing someone. Val crushes his beer can in his hands and throws it on the ground, he's going to kill the turtles! I frown, "pick that up and put it in the bin buddy. You could kill the turtles." He raises an eyebrow at my demand and crosses his arms over his chest. Nova is sitting on the first seat with Amalia and Cadence while the guys are behind them then on the seat, above the guys Titus and Emberly sit with Val a fair distance away then there's me and these nameless guys. The guy who recently got here doesn't seem to like me thought, he glares at me. "Something in your eye cupcake?" I ask him with a smirk, his jaw clenches and he ignores me.
"You go and pick it up," Val says. "I gotta race soon," I gape at him and stomp my foot angrily.
"Pick it up!" He sighs muttering words under his breath and picks up the can and throws it in the nearest bin. I smile smugly and the blondie looks at me in surprise. 'Whipped' I hear him mutter which makes Valentino glare at him.
"Anyway, wish me luck guys," he waves and walks off. I turn to the guy who seems to hate me and I smile, I'm just too kind aren't I?
"Hello, I'm Willow. Hey, that rhymed!" Blondie grins and black hair dude looks at me like I'm crazy which I am not, he's the crazy one here. "What's your names?" I ask looking between them.
"Well I'm Jackson," Blondie introduces, I offer him my hand for a hand shake and he clasps his hand with mine and shakes it chuckling quietly. I turn to the black haired dude and wait for him to introduce himself.
"Gosh, you're like a clone of Titus- rude, cold, mysterious and hates me!" I grin at the last part finding it very much amusing. It doesn't bother me much when someone hates me, unless I like them as a friend.
"Will you shut up?" He snaps, my mouth forms an 'O' shape and I nod in understanding.
"You're getting so annoyed that I'm really gorgeous and you can't concentrate. Oh my god, I've got a joke! Ready? What kind of bees make milk?" Everyone looks at me, I wait for someone's response and when no one answers I groan. "Duh, boobees!" I roll my eyes, they're all dumb.
"This is Valentino's girl?" The dark haired guy says, I'm not being racist okay? I'm only saying that because he has black hair. They nod and I frown.
"Yeah well Chris you look like you have the measles or chicken pox," I huff crossing my arms over my chest, he points to himself and his mouth drops open.
"What'd I do to get insulted!?" He exclaims.
"You said I was Val's girl. Must I repeat myself all the time? HE KIDNAPPED ME! This is not a willingly thing, I would be in my room most likely sleeping if he hadn't of kidnapped me. I would also like to apologise to everyone who I have not offended, I promise that I will get to you shortly," I nod firmly.
"Of my god you're so freaking annoying,"
the black haired guy groans.
"Okay seriously what's your name? It's annoying me when I keep calling you black haired guy in my head," I murmur.
When he doesn't reply Jackson does for him, "his name is Reece." I nod slowly then grin.
"Like geese!" He takes a deep breath to calm down and that's when we hear the call.
"Welcome the champion that has been champion for 7 years- VALENTINO LACUNA!!" The guy shouts, everyone cheers as they hear his name, girls fan themselves and gossip about him. "Now welcome newbie John Smith!" People cheer but not as loud as Valentino's.
I see Valentino's black car at the starting line next to a red car, "3! 2! 1! GO!" The cars go lurching forward and Valentino passes him by miles, newbie John tries to catch up and succeeds driving next to him. As a corner appears Val glides around the corner easily, now he's much more in front of the other guy guy and he surely will win. As he passes the finishing line we stand and cheer for him.
He grins holding his helmet in the air, he spots me through the crowd and points at me. I point to myself in confusion, me? "There's my girl!" I'm going to punch him in the balls. They will be like my chin when I'm done with them, gosh that sounds so gross and sexual.....
