11 years old (My idea for Fast & Furious 8 if Paul Walker still lived)...
After an intense early morning soccer practice on the Ridgeway Junior High School field, sixth-grader Jack showered, got dressed in his casual school outfit, and finally got to his locker five minutes before class. While he is getting his books for the day out, Damon and Kim, who are still his best friends since Kindergarten, arrived for their casual conversations.
"I cannot believe Chuck just did that to you, man. It's like he is a secret spy for the opposing teams, but his main target is you," Damon vented his frustration of what happened to his best friend on the soccer field this morning as he too is on the soccer team.
"What happened?" Kim asked.
"Oh, Chuck just "accidentally" kicked some mud on my face while he was supposed to kick the ball," Jack explained while he put air quotes on the word, "accidentally". Despite Chuck being his and Damon's soccer teammate, the two boys have been arch-enemies ever since the first day of Kindergarten. Not that Jack hasn't tried to get along with Chuck, but the latter seems threatened by the former's general popularity with their class as Chuck wishes to be top of the school's social chain but unlike Chuck, Jack doesn't care about being the most popular but just likes to be liked by his classmates.
"Whoa! Someone should just put that Chuck Javers in his place," Kim expressed her opinion while Jack and Damon nodded their heads. At that moment, Chuck came passing by.
"Hey, Jack. Did you love your mud facial this morning?" teased Chuck who then laughed as he left.
"Forget about him. He's not worth the trouble," Jack said trying to be the bigger person around. As the warning school bell rang, the three then head to their homeroom class which sadly also includes Chuck. The school bell then rang just as their homeroom teacher, Mr. Bender, came in.
"All right, class. Take your seats. I have an important announcement to make," Mr. Bender started. "Now it is that time of year. The time to pick our Sixth Grade Class President! This is when one student represents the entire class where he/she gets to solve problems regarding the entire class and coming up with valid good ideas to improve your school lives." With that result, the entire class was chatting with enthusiasm. "Okay. Any nominations?" Mr. Bender asked of the class.
"I nominate Jack!" Damon called out as quickly as he can which sort of left Jack blushing. Even though Damon has been his best friend forever, he could be quite an embarrassment for Jack sometimes.
"I second Jack's nomination!" Kim stated her support. Most of the class started shouting their support for Jack to be nominated too.
"All right. Jack O'Conner-Toretto is our first candidate. Anyone else?" Mr. Bender reported. Since Jack is a candidate, Chuck unsurprisingly elbows his right-hand boys, Jake and Bobby, signalling them to nominate him as a candidate too.
"Uh...I nominate Chuck!" Jake called out first.
"I also second Chuck's nomination!" Bobby then called out next.
"Okay. Chuck Javers is our second candidate. Anyone else?" Mr. Bender once again reported and asked. Since no one has spoken for a few minutes, Mr. Bender then announced, "All right. So far, Jack O'Conner-Toretto and Chuck Javers are two of our candidates. I will announce tomorrow if there are any other candidates from the other sixth grade homeroom classes. The election is one month from now, so I hope you each will run a great campaign. All right, class dismissed," Mr. Bender ended his announcement and the students have left for their respective classes.
After school, Jack walked with Damon and Kim to the family grocery store which Mia now owns again after returning to L.A. Jack now works with his mother as a way to help her out as she used to run the store by herself. As soon as they arrived, Jack puts on his apron while Damon and Kim settled themselves down on the bar stool and Jack gave them their usual snacks and beverages.
"Okay, dude, we need to get started on your campaign. We sure don't want that Chuck holding that over you for the rest of our school lives," Damon suggested.
"I'm not that worried. Besides, there are probably more candidiates going against me and Chuck and I'm pretty sure they can run pretty good and fair campaigns," Jack stated his opinion on the subject.
"You're probably right, Jack," Kim said. "But, Damon's got a point. You still need to be prepared. So, we'll be your campaign managers."
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Mia asked as she walked in.
"Hi, Mrs. O'Conner-Toretto," Damon greeted in sort of a goofy way. Ever since Jack introduced Damon and Kim to his parents, Damon has a little crush on Mia which Jack and Kim find kind of disturbing.
"Excuse my gross brother, ma'am. We were coming up with campaign ideas. Jack is nominated for Sixth Grade Class President," Kim explained.
"Wow! That's great, sweetie," Mia congratulated her son.
"Thanks, Mom," Jack replied. After that, Brian, Dom, Letty, Roman, Tej, Tego, Rico, and Sean Boswell arrived at the store for their breaktime from working in the family garage. Sean Boswell was a friend of Han's from Tokyo since the latter has taught him how to drift while street racing. Han was soon murdered by Ian Shaw, Owen Shaw's older brother, around the time Jack was three years old. But with the help of Sean, the team managed to get revenge on Ian and Sean was later integrated into the Toretto team. After some casual greetings between them and Jack's friends, Mia decided to announce the big news.
"Hey, guys, guess what? Jack is running for Class President!" Mia then announced to which everyone responded with "That's great!", "Congratulations!", etc.
"Who is running against you?" Brian curiously asked.
"I have to hear about the others tomorrow, but one of them is Chuck Javers," Jack answered to which Damon and Kim responded with disgust.
"The kid who's always bothering you?" Dom asked.
"Yeah. We're pretty sure that he is running just to spite Jack," Damon expressed his opinion.
"Well, I'm not going to give him the satisfaction. I'm going to run a fairly good campaign that would be probably better than Chuck can come up with," Jack boasted.
"I don't know, Jack. That dude has some pretty serious money," Damon expressed his worrisome as Chuck is very wealthy which could easily persuade the entire class.
"Well, whatever the case, little man, we'll be there to help you if you need us," Roman stated his and the others' willingness to help with Jack's campaign.
"Thanks," Jack smiled at his loving family and friends. He is so lucky to have these people in his life and he's pretty sure Chuck will never have that with his obnoxious and superior attitude. The next day, Jack and Chuck heard that there is one other candidate: a girl named Trish Hale. Jack and Trish don't antagonize one another, so they wished a fair campaign for each other.
"Well, good luck, Trish," Jack said.
"And good luck to you, Jack," Trish replied back. As she left, Chuck, along with Jake and Bobby, approaches Jack.
"Trying to suck up to Trish so that she'll go easy on you. That is really sneaky, Jack," Chuck once again started teasing Jack.
"Don't jump to conclusions, Chuck. We were wishing luck and being nice to each other through this whole thing. Something you might wanna try to do for the rest of your life," Jack teasingly suggested to Chuck.
"Yeah, I don't think so. I will work hard to make you miserable throughout our school life until we graduate," Chuck warned him.
"That's it. What exactly is your problem with me, Chuck?" Jack asked being frank with him.
"It's always about you, isn't it, Jack? That's my problem," Chuck answered though that wasn't really specific.
"Well, I am the one who has suffered from you ever since Kindergarten," Jack pointed out.
"Whatever. I am going to beat you and Trish in a month and you better get used to being ruled over by me for the rest of the year," Chuck boasted.
"I'll take my chances, Chuck. Good luck!" Jack ended his conversation and left as quickly as he can until the scene was going to get uglier.
Later tonight at home while Jack was doing his homework and the rest of the family was preoccupied with other things, he hears something. He then looks out the window and sees at least five cars coming up to their house. Worried, he runs to warn the others.
"Guys, there are like five cars coming up our way and I don't think they're here for a friendly visit," Jack warned them. Dom and Brian looked out the window to investigate and they both see that the drivers are rushing to the house armed with guns.
"Everybody into your cars! Jack, you go with your mother in her car," Dom ordered the others. "Mia, try to find a safe place for you and Jack, text us where you guys are, and also call Hobbs and Elena to inform them of the situation. We'll hold them off as much as we can!" Dom finished while he and the others prepared their weapons.
After quickly packing up some things, Mia and Jack rushed to her Acura car and the former drove as fast as she could despite a single enemy car chasing them. After she managed to lose them, she and Jack hid in a nearby motel where Mia goes on to text the others where they are and call Elena about what just happened.
