Thank you to everyone who reviewed the story. And thanks for wishing me a happy b-day! 17!

Here's the story.

Need For Speed

Chapter 2:

Flight after Fright

Sakura walked home as fast as possible.

'That was too close!'

Sakura's heart raced. She couldn't believe what was happening. Not once in her life had she been caught.

Ok there was that once.

Flashback

Sakura sat beside a cliff, away from everyone, in secret.

"Sakura what are you doing?"

"Reading Jacob."

Jacob takes the book from her hands and throws it over the cliff.

"JACOB? WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"

"YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO READ THAT STUFF!"

"Why Jacob? Every time I do something having to do with motorcycles you yell at me and tell me not to do it!"

"I've told you before that you are not supposed to have anything to do with that because its against the rules!"

"Why is it against the rules Jacob?"

"I don't know. It has always been that way Sakura."

He turned slightly away from her. She looked at him and she quickly stood up.

"But I've seen pictures!"

"What!" He turned around and was fully facing her.

"Pictures! In books, papers, I've read about it too! Girls used to do just as much as the men! They even did some sports different then men's! Girls used to be allowed to play sports. If girls raced then, I should race now!"

"Sakura it doesn't matter if they raced then! You can't race now!"

"But why.?"

"I don't know. They won't tell us. No one here knows. Girls don't do sports, that's just how it is."

"This bites."

End of Flashback

She put her key in the lock and opened the door.

"I'm home!"

No one answered.

Walking toward the kitchen she found a note telling her where her father was.

Sakura-

Working late tonight, be home when you wake up.

Dad

'Oh well.'

Sakura grabbed a soda and a bag of cookies, taking them with her as she headed up the stairs to her room. Shutting the door she threw her bag on the white carpeted floor.

Sitting on her light pink bed she began thinking about the events at the library.

'Why did that guy let me go? I know by the first look he gave me he knows the rules.'

Opening her soda, she thought back to the second look he gave her.

'His eyes, something about them, before he sat down, what was it?'

She opened her cookies and shoved one in her mouth. Then it dawned on her.

'He was AMUSED! He knew what he could do and when he thought about it he thought it was AMUSING!'

Sakura sat in fear of what this guy was going to do.

'So he thought that was amusing, but does that mean he's going to turn me in?'

Deciding to push it aside and move on Sakura grabbed her bag and started her home work.

Eventually she ate some dinner, took a shower and went to bed.

Sakura headed to the library after school. This guy wasn't going to make her stay home. If she was already risking her butt to study and read this stuff then she wasn't going to worry to much about some guy.

She came in the front door and went past the librarian waving quickly. Picking a few books she wanted she shoved them in her bag and went down stairs. Sitting in the same spot as yesterday she started to read, glancing up every once and a while.

After finishing her first book she looked out the window. It was already dark. She decided that she would stay a little longer then go home. Picking up another book she heard a chair drag across the floor as it was being pulled out from under the table. Looking up she saw the same guy from yesterday.

He had a few books beside him on the table and his helmet.

'What is he doing just getting here this late? The library closes in an hour.'

Putting the book up to block her face she stared at him over the top. After about five minutes the guy looked at her and she quickly looked down. Deciding this was when she should leave she gathered her things and walked past him. He stared at her the whole time.

She put the books back and when she looked over the railing to see if he was still there he was gone. Heading back down stairs she saw the guy at the front door. Gathering her courage she walked past him waving bye to the librarian. Once outside she quickly walked down the side walk. Stopping to see if the guy was following her she saw him get on his bike and turn it on. Sighing she turned the corner ready to get home. Suddenly she heard a bike zooming past her and she saw the same guy looking at her till he turned the corner.

'That guy is creeping me out.'

For the next week it went about the same every day. When Sakura got to the library she would get her books and start to read. Some time, different every day, the guy would show up and sit in the same spot, reading about motorcycles.

A week after Sakura's first encounter with the guy she got to her spot and saw something sitting in her chair. Looking around to see if someone left it here by accident, she picked up the package. On the front was a small note:

To: Motorcycle Girl

This should have enough in it to keep you busy. Don't worry I don't plan on telling anyone about you, for now. Keep the book. Lets just say that its your reward from me for having the guts to like this stuff.

Motorcycle Guy

Sakura read the note over and over again until it clicked that the guy she saw was giving her a motorcycle book. Opening the package she saw a huge book about motorcycles, everything from types of motorcycles to how to fix engines was in the book. She smiled.

'Maybe this guy isn't too bad after all.'

Later when she had finished the chapter about the best type of bikes for racing in her new book she saw the guy sitting there reading. Putting her stuff up she took out a piece of paper and started writing. Getting up she walked past the guy and smoothly slid the paper to the end of the table. The guy looked at the paper and smiled.

The names Sakura

And thanks for the book.

Leaving, she too smiled.

'I think I might just have a new friend.'

I hope everyone liked it. Sorry it took so long to get out. I'll post the next one soon.
