The next day at school Stacey met up with Tess and Jade in the gym, where they were having practice. As the three of them stretched and waited for the rest of the squad to show up they talked about random things, just passing the time. After a while Tess hopped up and walked to the stereo sitting on the bleachers and turned it on. Soon the sounds of 'Hoe' by Amanda Perez were filling the gym.

"Ha! I love this song!" Tess said as she walked back over to them. Jade and Stacey just laughed as the other girl started singing along, filling in the words that had been edited out. Once the song was over Stacey asked,

"Let me guess, that song reminds you of chasers?" Nodding the other girl answered with a grin,

"Yup, chasers and about half the girls on our squad." Rolling her eyes, Jade noticed some of the other cheerleaders walking in and motioned over to them saying,

"Let's end this conversation for now. Last thing I need right now is a fight in the middle of practice that we all know will end in me being a few girls short." The other two agreed and waited for the rest of the group to join them so they could all find out what they were going to be doing in practice that day.

Walking out of the school and to her car Tess noticed that Stacey was standing out front, looking like she was waiting for a ride. Driving over there again, she killed the engine and got out. Stuffing her keys in her back pocket she looked over at her friend with a small smile.

"Did they forget about you again?"

"That or it slipped their mind that i need a ride home from practice." Stacey replied with a sigh. "Ya know I wouldn't have this problem if he'd let me get my damn liscense."

"C'mon I'll give ya a ride. You can call them and bitch on the way there." As they both got in the car and left Stacey pulled out her phone and dialed Brian's cell number. Once she heard someone pick up she said,

"Forget something? Or should I say someone?" Immediately she heard her brother mutter 'Shit' before speaking directly into the reciever.

"I'm sorry Stace. I'll have Rome or Leon come get you now."

"Don't bother I won't be there. I got a ride from Tess."

"Alright, you going back to the house or coming here to the garage?"

"Depends on where everyone is."

"We're all here at the garage except for Mia."

"Kay. See ya in a few. Bye." Hanging up she looked at Tess who asked.

"Where we headed."

"The garage. I got some people I want you to meet." Nodding she turned and headed in that direction. They were about ten minutes from the garage when both girls noticed the purple Spyder Eclipse rolling up on them from behind. Stacey recognized the car instantly. Laughing she told Tess to roll up the windows as he came around to the side trying to get a look at who was inside, but the glass was tinted too dark for him to see inside. When they were stopped at a red light, Tess noticed him motioning for her to roll down her window. Stacey quickly pulled her hair out of the ponytail she had it in and let it hang around her face so he wouldn't know it was her and pretended to be looking through cds. Tess then rolled her window down so he could only see her eyes and up.

"So do you race or are you driving your boyfriend's car?" Rome asked as he revved his engine. Rolling her eyes behind her sunglasses she smirked.

"Wanna find out?"

"What's in it for me?"

"I dunno, you tell me."

"If I win you go out on a date with me." Hearing him say this, Stacey had a hard time keeping her jaw from dropping. She'd thought that he was still stuck on Storm, yet here he was hitting on one of her best friends.

"You got it, and when I win you're on call 24/7 to do what I want you to for a month. It's exactly a quarter of a mile from here to the next light." Tess challenged with an eyebrow raised. As he nodded in agreement he said,

"We go on green." Stacey quickly did up her harness, and sat back, ready to enjoy the ride. As she watched the two, careful not to let Rome see who she was, she noticed that while Rome was looking between the light and the car, Tess was facing straight ahead flicking her eyes from the light to the road ahead of her.

Both lights turned green at the same time and as soon as they had both cars had taken off, each driver determined to win. Glancing over at Rome, Tess noticed his thumb hovering over the NOS button and smirked. She still had one gear left and quickly shifted into it, edging in front of him. He soon hit his spray, and she did too a milisecond later, going through the light inches ahead of him. Judging by the look on his face the girls could see he wasn't expecting to lose and that made them both fall into a fit of laughter. As they stopped at the next light Tess looked over at him and said,

"Meet me at Toretto's Garage to discuss our agreement." And rolling her window back up headed that way, Rome not far behind her.

Hearing the sound of two cars pulling up in front of the shop, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked out to see who was there. They all knew who the cars belonged to once they saw them and waited for the occupants to get out of each one. Tej and Brian both noted that their friend looked less than happy for some reason. Rome's floor nearly hit the ground when he realized Stacey had been the other person in the car, and looking from her to Tess, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Walking up to him she closed his mouth for him before sitting on the hood of his car.

"So how's it feel not only hitting on a girl in high school, but getting your ass kicked in a race by said girl?" This made Stacey laugh while they could hear Tej half whisper 'Damn'. Smirking Tess leaned back and looked Rome square in the eye. "Now to go into detail on the terms of our agreement, cuz believe me boy, I plan to carry it out to the fullest. First, I'ma need your cell number, since I'll be needing to be able to get a hold of you at all times. Second, don't think I'm gonna make this easy on you... I won't. So be prepared, cuz for the next month I own you. If I snap my fingers and tell you to jump, you're gonna, we clear?"

"Yeah I got ya. A little demanding though aren't you?" He answered with a nod, wondering exactly what the hell he'd gotten himself into.

"Maybe, but what can I say? I'm a girl who knows exactly what she wants." Then hopping off the car again she walked over to Stacey and asked, "So who are these people you wanted me to meet?"

"Well one of them was Rome, and I gotta say, I'm glad to see the two of you getting along so well." Stacey grinned before laughing. Then pointing to everyone who'd arrived recently said, "That's Tej, Jimmy, and Suki. Storm's not around right now, but you definitely gotta meet her. She's like a sister to me, hell she practically is." Giving everyone a short wave Tess said,

"Hey, its great to meet all of you. Heard tons about you from Stacey." Then looking at her cell phone she saw what time it was. "Oh crap, my parents are gonna kill me! I was supposed to be at home twenty minutes ago for a family dinner and I still gotta change! Can someone explain the point of dressing up to eat dinner in your own home just because your grandparents are coming over to me, cuz honestly I don't get it." As Stacey shrugged in reply, her friend quickly looked over at Dom. "You got some place I can change? I brought my clothes with me incase practice ran late."

"Yeah, you can use the office real quick." Dom nodded. Grinning at him for a second she said a 'Thank you' over her shoulder and popped her trunk before grabbing a bag out of it and rushing inside. A few minutes later they all heard the clicking of heels running across the concrete and saw Tess re-emerge wearing cream colored mini with a ruffled bottom and a tan crocheted halter top, her hair pulled up into a messy french twist secured by a silk flower clip the same color as her skirt. Tossing the bag back into her trunk she looked at Stacey and waved saying,

"Bye Stace! I'll see ya tomorrow at school!" And taking off down the down the road in a hurry.
