It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it, We let the world know we were here, with everything we did, We laid a lot of memories down, like tattoos on this town (Jason Aldean)
I got out of Beck's car, and looked around. Somehow André managed to talk Beck into racing his dodge charger. The spot was a very common place for drag racing, I've been here many times. Sometimes it was just me and my friends, other times it was a bunch of people. "I'm gonna be cheering for you." I said, looking at Beck.
He smiled and shook his head. "Gee...Thanks." He said.
Robbie, Cat and Jade all got out of Andre's car. "So who do you think is gonna win?" I asked, walking towards them.
"Beck." Robbie said, running a hand through his hair. André glared at him, and Robbie must have decided to explain why. "Come on dude, Beck is almost undefeated. He's tough competition. No offense, but I'd always pick Beck." He said, looking a tad bit uncomfortable. I patted him on his arm, and glanced around. The road isn't the smoothest, but it's straight for a least a mile or more.
"Wait, how will we know who wins?" Jade asked.
Beck looked at her. "Well someone is gonna have to get dropped off at the finish line." He said.
"I still want to go to the pond." Cat said.
I smiled. "Maybe we'll have time after Beck and André get to race." I said.
"I'll go." Jade said. I wasn't fully paying attention.
"We're going to the pond?" Cat asked. Guess she wasn't paying attention at all.
Jade looked at her confused. "No, I meant I'll go to the finish line. That way we will know who won." She said, crossing her arms over her chest. Cat crossed her arms over her chest and then pouted. I rolled my eyes, wondering why she does that every time she doesn't get her way.
"Cat." I said.
Beck was leaning against his car. "Well Jade you want to walk or get a ride?" He asked. I looked at Jade and raised my eyebrows. I'm sure she'll want a ride, though I'd walk. A mile is like ten, fifteen minutes.
"Hey Jade if you decide to walk, I'll come with ya." I said, smiling.
Jade glared at me. We don't always get a long, but since this might be the last summer we get to hang out, I'm hoping that will finally change. "Pass." She said, getting into Andre's car. I frowned, and scratched my head.
Beck came over by me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Don't worry about it." He said, smiling. I glanced at him and then looked away, smiling a little.
"Hey Beck. Good Luck." Robbie said.
"Thanks." Beck said.
"You be careful." I said, running a hand through my hair. Every time someone challenges Beck to a race, I get nervous. I know he's good, but what if the other person isn't? Accidents happen all the time. André is a pretty good driver, but he hasn't been in many races. I hope he can handle the car at a high-speed.
Beck looked at me. "Always am." He said, gently pinching my chin before walking away.
"Wait...What is going on?" Cat asked. Everyone looked at her. Well Beck, Robbie and I all looked at her, since André went to drop Jade off at the finish line. I was wishing that I would have, cause I wanted to see how the race ended.
"Beck and André are going to race." Robbie said.
"Ohh...Kay." Cat said, smiling. She is always such a joyful person, her moments of sadness or anger last only for a few seconds. I envied that about her.
"You sure you guys don't want to go to the finish line?" Beck asked.
I looked at Robbie and Cat. "I kind of do but I also kind of don't. What if something bad happens?" I asked, looking at Beck.
Beck smiled a little. "Like?" He said. I gave him a 'really' look and rolled my eyes. He knew very well what I was talking about. he was just messing around. "Don't worry. I've driven down this road many times. I have it memorized."
I nodded. "So you two want to go to the finish line?" I asked.
Robbie shook his head. "Nah. I'm good here." He said. Cat seemed to be distracted by something, so she was once again not paying attention. I could be wrong, she know what is going on but just isn't interested.
"Here come's André." Beck said, getting into his '69 mustang. André pulled into a driveway and turned backed up so that he was facing the same way that Beck was. I walked to the middle of the road, and stood in-between the two cars. I've done this many times, it can be scary but I've gotten used to it.
"Ready?" I asked, pointing at Beck. He nodded, so I then pointed at André. He also nodded. I pulled out my bandana and waved it in the air. Both cars took off, tires leaving back marks on the road. I immediantly turned around, watching what I can.
JADE's POV
My patience was starting to wearing thin. When were they finally going to start the race. I looked at my cell phone and realized that it's only been a couple of minutes. "Ugh. Maybe I should have taken Tori's offer." I said, crossing my arms over my chest. It was to quiet here. 'Race started.' The text was from Tori, so I'm guessing Beck and André will be showing up soon. I mean a mile with two cars cruising almost hundred, that would be a matter of seconds. I think.
I heard them approaching before I saw the cars. I took a couple of steps back, so that I was a safe distance away, but close enough to know who won. I glanced down the road, and saw that André was in front. I hope that he doesn't get his hopes up to high, since Beck always lets his opponents in front until the last second. Then he'll surged ahead. André didn't have much of a lead. I pulled out my cell phone and started filming, so that way Tori and them will know how the race ended.
Within seconds they were a few feet away, and then flew past. I think Beck passed André at the last second, but it was to close to tell. I'd had to watch the results on my phone. 'Not fully sure who won.' I texted to Tori. I walked over towards Beck, who was just getting out of his car. "That was a good race." He said, running a hand through his hair.
I nodded. "I'm not sure who won. Did you pull ahead at the last second?" I asked.
"Dude! I almost had you." André said. Guess Beck did.
Beck laughed. "Good Race." He said, bumping fists with André. I rolled my eyes, and texted Tori 'Beck won, but barely. André said that he almost had him.' "Ready to go back?" He asked, looking at me.
"Yep."I said, smirking.
Horses are my favorite animal; I basically grew up around horses.
And as for the ford mustang; it was the first sports car that came to my mind, I think it might be because in the song he mentions mustangs. If that makes sense.
I'm really excited today. I found out that one of my favorite racehorses won the Tampa bay derby, giving him the chance to race in the Kentucky derby. I was hoping he'd win.
