The Racing Game

Girls can't race

It was the last lap and Kairi was in second place. She gave her bike all the gass it could take and inched forward into first place, only a few feet away from the finish line.

'Just a little bit more. The finish line's just ahead' She thought to herself.

She passed the finish line in first place. She slowed down and rode off to the sidelines where her friends were cheering her on. Namine, her oldest friend, was holding a huge sign saying, 'Go Kairi!' along with Olette. Kairi had just met Olette last year in 8th grade and they were already best friends.

"Way to go Kairi! You made first place! You might even make it into the finals!" Olette reassured her.

"Yah, you were going so fast. You could smoke any guy that tried to beat you!" Namine shouted.

"Thanks guys. Let's just hope they let me in the finals." Kairi was very hopeful that she could make it into the finals and prove that girls can ride dirtbikes just as good as guys could.

"Great race eh?"

Kairi whirled around and saw the person that she had passed when she finished the race.

"Yah. You did a great job. I'm Kairi"

'You have the most beautiful eyes' Kairi thought.
"I'm Riku. Nice to meet you and I might see you in the finals." He had medium cut white hair and had the most gorgeous ocean blue eyes.

Riku waved goodbye and Kairi started blushing.

"Oooohh. Kairis blushing! Does somebody have a little crush? Huh?" Olette teased.

"Shut up! He might hear you. I just think he's cute that's all. And he has the most beautiful eyes." Kairi denied the thought of having a crush. She had too much to worry about. Especially training for the finals.

Suddenly the intercom started to name off the names of the finals.

"We will now announce the names of the riders who will be competing in the finals. Sora Watayza. Axel Shoskai. Riku Turin. Roxas Lekai. Tidus Wylan. And Cloud Niru. Good luck in the finals."

Kairi looked at the screen showing the finalists pictures in horror. She couldn't believe that she didn't make it into the finals.

"What! How could I have not made into the finals! I'm gonna have a word with the judge." With that Kairi stormed off to find the judge.

(Few minutes later)

Kairi marched up to the judge and exploded.

"Why can't I be in the finals? I beat every guy that I raced against!" Kairi shouted

"It's as simple as this. You're a girl. Girls can't ride dirt bikes. It's a guy sport."

"Oh really? Well then, we'll just have to see about that." Those were Kairi's last words to the judge. She walked back to her bike along with Olette and Namine.

"What are you going to do Kairi?" Namine asked.

"I really don't know. I have to do something to get into the finals. But what can I do?"

"I don't think there's anything you can do. It's not like you're gonna dress up as a guy and enter in the finals."

Kairi stopped in her tracks and looked at Olette.
"Actually, that's a great idea! I could register in the finals as a guy! They'd have to let me compete once they see how good I am. But then what school will I say I attend to? If I say the high school I'm going to then the guys will be looking for me."

"You could register at an all guys school and then you could stay there and race in the finals!" Kairi thought it sounded crazy but it was the perfect way to be able to compete.

"Then it's settled. I'll tell my parents about it and then I'm off to register at the school."
