Chapter 8
I hadn't talk or really see much of Steve. When ever he was at the house I was up in my room with Katie listening to Katie talk about Dally. I was a little jealous of her cause she got to finally have her man. I couldn't have my man. I didnt let her now that though I was really glad that Katie was happy. She has had a hard life.
I was home alone again getting ready for the championship race. Steve and Soda are out on the town with their dates. Darry was hanging with his roffing buddies this time. Two-bit,Pony, and Johnny were out on the town.
Katie was on a date with Dally.
I heard a car horn outside the house. Grabbing a my keys and coat and left the house. Looking at the family picture quickly.
"Wish me luck, Mom and Dad." I closed the door behind me and headed to the car. I opened the car door set down in the car.
"Hey," I told Mike.
"Hey, You scared?" I sighed heavily and nodded my head. I never thought I would be going to the championship races.
Outside of town
I was cheering Mike on it was the last race before the race that chose who was gonna be the two finalist.
He won, jumping off my car hood i ran to the finish line. I jumped on Mike and congradulated him.
It was break time now. I was over to were some people were saling cokes. Buying two cokes I walked over to mine and Mike's car.
"Thanks," I gave Mike his car and sat on it. I heard a voices that I never expected to here. I turned around and saw glimps of Soda and Steve.
"Ah shit. Who told them about to night," I jumped of the car hood i was sitting on.
"Well it is the championship race," I glared at him. I heard Soda yell Mike's name. I grab the hat and sun glasses that Mike kept in his car. I shooved my hair in the hat and put on the glass and grapped myself in Mike's leather coat.
"Hey Soda man. What you doing here?" Mike shooke my brother's and Steve's hand.
"Ah came to see who is gonna be the best racer this year, and maybe catch of that mystery kid." Soda said leaning on Mike's car.
I heard some more familiar voices. 'Oh god,' Dally, Katie, Two-bit, Pony, and Johnny all showed up. I signaled to Katie to meet me over at the 'connessions stand'.
"Oh god why in the hell am I gonna do, Katie. Everyone is here except Darry." I pulled my hat off.
"You are gonna do the race like no one new is here and race the best you can." Katie bought me a thing of chocolate saying something about how chocolate always makes a girl pain go away. I thanked her and told her to get back with Dally.
I went to porter pottie and used the bathroom quickly. I hated these things they are so NASTY.
Walking back to my car that was next to Mike's I saw that Soda and Steve where checking out my car. I smirked and approached them.
Using a fake boys voice I asked the boys if they wanted to take a look under the hood. I saw there eye glimmer with excitement and showed them what was under my hood.
"Oh my god this car is great. I so wish i had a beaut like this," Soda said.
"Thanks it took a lot of savings to get it the way it is," I talked with Soda about cars when i felt like I was gonna die.
"Hey gang," Darry yelled. 'This can't be happening. This can't be happening.' i repeated over and over as i was introduced to my older brother.
There was an anouncement made for the three finalist to please get to the begining line.
"Well i guess its time for me and Mike to get to the beginners line," I shut the hood of my car and drove to starting line.
I yelled good luck to Mike, him doing the same to me. The horn was blown and we were off. I felt my adrenaline run high.
I finished the race tying with Edgar Boom, one of the best races in all of Oklahoma.
I hung with Mike leaving my car on watched as i waited for the final race of the year. The horn was blown for Edgar Boom and I to get to the starting line. I pushed my car to the starting line with the help of Mike and my brothers.
I got in the car started to engine. Mike came up to my window as my brothers went back to the group to watch the race.
I handed the glasses, hat, and jacket to Mike.
"You can do this M.k. Dont let this picker head beat you," I laugh at what Mike called Edgar Boom.
"Good luck M.k. Your father, mother, and brothers will and are proud of you." I thanked Mike and waited for the horn to go.
SODA"S POV
I had Sandy in my arms setting on Steve's car. Two-bit was telling us a joke. It wasn't that funny. I kept thinking abou that guy in the hat. He seemed so familiar. I shrugged it off anf laughed at Two-bits joke.
I was started wondering what M.k. was doing right now. All the members of the gang was here except her. I can say i am surprised that M.k. isnt here. It was all any grease has been talking about.
I was plaining on going, but some the pulled me here. I dont know why, but something in my gut told me i need to be here.
The horn was blown and I watched as the two cars were off. It was Edgar Boom against Marty Karter. The dude was a pretty cool I hope he won.
Something was wrong with Marty's car it kept swinging to the side. The car hit a pot hole it swirved to the side and slamed right into the raling making the car flip over.
"Holy shit," I heard Two-bit say. I go i hope the guy is ok. Then i heard it Katie was screaming and crying trying to run to the car. Mike was in a daze.
I asked him if he was, ok. He said yea and took of in his car to the flipped over car. I heard that an ambulance was called. I saw Darry and Dally trying to comfort Katie. She was crying so hard over some one she just meet a couple of hours ago. Not even Sandy and Molly were doing that.
I heard Darry ask Katie what the matter was. Mike showed up a little later. Katie took off runing to the car.
I rann after her with Dally and Darry behind me. She was leaning over Marty's body which was being put on an ambulance cot. I finally got a look at the body when Katie moved over and cried into Dally's shoulder.
I felt my body go cold...
