We reached Brian's house in a good half an hour. he lived over in happy happy ville. It was a cute family hood. We got there around 6:45. We went in the house and we sat around drinking some Coronas. looking around the house it was pretty clean. Finally we headed out to his garage were he had his car. It really did need some heavy work to get ready for tonight. I took off my sweatshirt and threw it on the ground.
" You want me to put that inside," he asked me. I already had a wrench in my hand.
" what," I asked looking at the engine.
" your jacket," he asked. I looked at him and sighed.
" Sure," I replied. I got back to working on the car. I worked mostly on the engine and he did everything else. Somewhere there was a tear and oil started to leak everywhere. I patched it up as soon as I could but most of it on my shirt.
" So when am I gonna see you race," he asked. He asked too many questions.
" Not real soon," I answered. I took one last look at the engine and closed the hood.
" oh, lemme guess. Dom won't let you," he said jokingly. I took that to offense.
" He doesn't own me," i told him as I wiped my grimy hands on a towel. his white face was riddled with dirt.
" that's not what it looks like," he muttured under his breath. I pushed the can of oil on the floor when he wasn't looking. Letting the oil form a huge black puddle. he looked at me bewildered.
" Oops," I said as I bit my bottom lip. It didn't hurt anymore. It wasn't puffy anymore. all you could brely see was a red bump. Brian was already on the ground trying to clean up the mess.
" dude, bri whacha doin on the floor," said some guy that was coming towards us. i turned around and looked them over. They were all white and wearing, um those skater clothes. Kind of punky lookin'. The guy who was the first to speak had bright green spiked hair and was really lanky and skinny. There were two other guys with him. The other two were both wearing black but one was carrying a skateboard. I thought only kids played with those things.
" hey, devin," Brian said as he got up from the floor. They did some queer looking handshake and started talking. I continued to check out the car. That's when I heard one of them whistle at me.
" ay girl, come over here," Devin said winking at me. I rolled my eyes.
" ay shitface why don't you come over here," i said. Devin frowned.
" bri you paying the fucking wetback. Just feed her some tacos man," he said loud enough for me to here. We locked eyes. I felt my pocket and the wrench was still there. I slowly made my way towards him.
" what did you call me," I said as i smiled playfully and brushed my hair back. Devin looked at his two goons and laughed.
" you heard me. How much he paying you puta," he said laughing. I pulled out the wrench and hit him in his sorry dick with it. He quickly fell to the floor.
" i didn't fucking hear you," I yelled at him. I was about to whack him when brian pulled the wrench away from him. His other two friends looked at me like I was crazy and backed away. Devin was on the floor cradling whatever was left of his dick in his hands.
" shit I think she busted my nuts man," Devin cried. Brian caught me smiling.
" are you fucking crazy," he asked me. i tilted my head and watched his punk ass friend wither on the floor.
" why you askin me. I don't know," I said as I kicked his friend in the leg. I left the scene and went into the house and grabbed my jacket. The house wasn't far so i walked home. damn why do I always end up walking.Need to learn how to jack a car or somethin.



" So is that some guy your hookin up with letty," Mia asked as we sat on the couch watching some weird sci-fi flick on the screen. I threw some popcorn at her.
" have you lost your mind," i said. Mia sighed.
" letty look you're pretty, you're wild, and you dig cars. You're everything a guy could want in a girl," she said. I thought for a while. I never really thought I was pretty. I mean I have black brown wavy hair. Igot bown eyes and full red lips. My figure's okay. I'm slender but I got's some tits and ass, believe me.
" he's not my type," I said. Mia scoffed.
" Every guy is not your type," she said.
" For real. That boy is just way to honky for me. but he is cute," I answered. She shrugged. Giving up all hope on me. I glanced at the clock. It was 9:45. Races start at 10.
" what's his name again,"Mia asked.
" wh...i mean Brian," i said as i ate some popcorn.
" is he coming over tonight," Maria asked. I looked at her.
" no..no he's not," I said. Did I just see her frown. Oh man, she likes him. We heard the backdoor open. Judging by the slow walk it was Dominic. He passed by us without saying a word. He hadn't bugged ever since I left that afternoon. I wonder why.
" hey but i'm meeting him tonight at the races. Wanna come," i asked nudging her side.
" Yeah sure," she replied.
" Well go get ready I'm about to leave," I told her. Mia stood up and raced up the stairs. I better go change too. I still had on the same dirty clothes I had when I was over at Brian's house. I went upstairs to get ready.
