I Want to be Fast and Furious
Chapter 3
Tina awoke to the bright and warm sunrays that shined through her bedroom window. Turning over in bed she looked over at the clock and saw it was noon. Sitting up in bed she stretched her arms pulled out the pack of money she hid under her pillow. Thinking for a second, she decided to hide it in her panties drawer, pretty sure her parents wouldn't go looking in there for it. Not bothering to make her bed, Tina went to the bathroom, washed up, changed into blue board shorts and a red v-neck tank top, and went downstairs. Walking over to the refrigerator she opened it and pulled out a can of soda.
"I need you to run down to the store for me," Said Letty as she washed a couple of dishes. Seeing this as a chance to drive Tina accepted, picked up the list of things to buy off the counter top, and head back upstairs to get her sunglasses and car keys. Once back downstairs, she put on her shoes and was about to exit through the front door when her mom called from the kitchen. "Tina! Take you father with you!" Tina cursed under her breath, she had a feeling her mom wouldn't let her get off that easily, especially with what happened last night. Outside her dad was in the garage fixing up one of his cars.
"Dad." Tina sighed as she stepped into the garage.
"Goin to the grocery store?" he asked, closing the car's hood.
"Yeah."
"Ok, let's go." The two got into Tina's car. Putting on her sunglasses she started the engine and backed out the driveway.
"You're quiet when you drive." Said Dom, breaking the silence.
"I like to think I'm by myself in the car," Tina coldly replied. "And besides, I have to concentrate on the road." Dom took her second comment into account. Only good racers drove totally focused on the road ahead of him/her self.
Tina found a parking space in front of the store. As she put the car into park she noticed a guy standing beside the entrance's automatic sliding doors. The reason he stood out was because she could tell he wasn't from around the area. He wore long slightly baggy denim jeans and a black t- shirt. His dark brown hair was up and spiked and he also wore Oakleys.
Dom stepped out of the car. "Let's make this quick. I gotta finish up fixing the other car."
"Sure." Tina answered as the two walked to the entrance. Even with the both of them wearing their sunglasses, she could tell the guy had glanced at her as she walked through the doors. Inside the store Tina follwed Dom around while he picked up the items Letty needed. When he finished, he got in line to pay for it all. Tina, snuck out and to the front where she had saw that guy earlier.
"What are you doing here?" She asked him, hands on her hips. "You're not from around here are you." The guy simply chuckled.
"So I finally get to meet the 'oh so famous' daughter of Dom Toretto." Tina turned her head and rolled her eyes and returned her attention back to the guy. "The name's Riley."
"Well what do you want Riley? People who aren't from around L.A. just don't come here and hang out in front of a grocery store." Tina stated and stole a glance inside the store to make sure her dad wasn't done.
"The race.three nights from tonight.I challenge you." He simply answered. Tina scoffed at this statement.
"Whatever. You think someone like you could just jump in and start racin with everybody else?"
"Sure, why not?"
Tina laughed to herself. "You don't get it. A new comer like you, out there on the streets, you don't stand a chance."
"Don't underestimate people you've barely met." He replied. Tina snuck another peek into the store and saw that her dad was done paying and was on his way out. She quickly wrote down a number on a piece of scrap paper she luckily found in her pocket.
"Call him." She said handing the piece of paper to Riley, it was Calvin's number. "Tell him you want to race, although you don't stand a chance. But call anyways.see you Friday.Riley." And with that she quickly jogged over to her car, pretending she had been standing there the whole time as Dom exited the store.
"Ready to go?" He asked as he set the grocery bags in the back and got in.
"Yeah." Tina replied, eyes focused on Riley until she pulled out of the parking lot. Once she got back home she pulled out her cell phone and called Calvin.
"So where do you think he's from?" Tina asked as she paced around the room, fiddling with one thing after another.
"Told me he was from some town or city up north of L.A. I forgot the name but he's one of those rich boys." Calvin explained.
Tina chuckled. "Rich boys?"
"Yeah. The one's with parents who have loads of money but keep their kids cooped up and so then they get all wild and run away and that crap." Tina laughed even more, realizing the boy she had met had done the exact thing.
"Okay, whatever you say. But anyways, you're letting him into the race this weekend?" she asked.
"Yeah. I think I'll give him a chance."
"Alright. But hey, I need new tanks of NOS for my car."
"No problem. Aite well I gotta go down to Harry's and order some of those for you plus some other stuff for my car, so I'll talk to you later."
"Aite, peace out." The two hung up the phone. The rest of the evening, Tina spent contemplating how she would get out of the house three nights from now to attend the race. 'That rich boy is in for a rude awakening'.
