"I'm telling you man, she's not going to go out with you." said Touji to Chris.
They were in the garage near Chris's house working on the old school Charger Touji's parents had bought him for his birthday.
"I know her, she's on the kendo team with me, and trust me." Touji said "She's not going to date you."
"Yeah, but I could always try." Chris replied. "She's cute. What exactly do you know about her?"
"Her name's Utena Tenjou, she's a sophomore, she's 16, and she's smart." Touji said. "Ow!" he cried slamming his head against the hood trying to stand up. "Nobody really knows much about her. She lives on her own and doesn't really talk about her past life or family."
"All the more reason to get to know her. I like girls with a little mystery" Chris replied grinning.
"Yeah well whatever man. I gotta go and make some deliveries for my dad."
"Later man." Chris said as he got on his motorcycle.
Sweeping past the streets, his mind wandered to Touji and how lucky he was. He had it pretty easy. His family was rich, but close. Chris had come from a broken home with an alcoholic mom and a dad that had left when Chris was twelve. He left home at age fifteen, and had gotten an apartment of his own. He had made his money playing cards on late nights, and during the weekdays he waited tables at a local pub. He wasn't bitter about the way his life was. In fact he loved it, especially when he raced on weekends. It was all he ever needed. School was his last priority, but yet he still managed to squeak by each year barely passing. All he wanted was to race for a living. He didn't need a diploma for that.
Pulling up to Shinjunu pub and buffet, he took a moment to look around. The same familiar and comforting scene met his eyes. Crappy cars with rubber band engines, broken beer bottles, and the occasional drunk bum sleeping on the nearby bench. This was a small safe haven for him.
"Hey Chris get your ass in here, ya bum!" Called Mico, Chris's manager. "I got a new one for you to train!"
"Really? A new waiter huh?" Chris said. "Is he cool?"
"Well, I don't know about him, but she seems cool." Mico chuckled.
"She?"
"Chris I'd like you to meet Utena Tenjou."
There she stood, cuter then Chris had remembered.
"Oh hey. I didn't know you worked here!" Utena said smiling.
Yeah…and it looks like I'm training you."
"Okay, Tenjou. Just go into the changing room and put on the uniform and we'll start your training." Mico said as Utena walked into the changing room and closing the door.
"Wait a minute! She can't wear that uniform!" Chris said "The skirt is so ..."
"Short I know. But I gave her one that isn't quite so short. But keep your hands in check, Chris" Mico chuckled.
"The first guy that touches my ass is getting a kick in the face!" said Utena as she walked out to Chris.
Her shirt was tight across her chest, showing off her large chest. Her blue jean skirt was tight fitting and just barely covered her butt.
"Don't worry" Mico said. "We have a bouncer if necessary. Now get to work."
"Alright ...Let's go" Utena said.
Chris shook his head to focus on his job. Getting one last glance out of the corner of his eye, he smiled to himself as he thought How lucky can I get?
