The next morning, I woke up and went to school with Sean. I ended up having all my classes with him so it wouldn't be as pressuring. I had found out that most of the kids in my classes spoke English as well as Japanese. At lunch, I sat with Sean, Neela and Twinkie, whom I had just met.

"So Ruby, do you like Tokyo so far?" Twinkie asked, raising an eyebrow at me as he chewed his sushi.

"It's okay. I mean, I've only been here one night. I love the whole idea of night racing in the underground parking lot." I grinned, elbowing Sean.

"Yeah it's always fun. So Ruby, do you have a car?" He asked.

"Yeah. It should arrive on Friday." I said.

"What kind of car do you have?" He asked.

"A white 2003 Nissan 350Z." I said, finishing my food.

"Really? So you and Sean have the same kind of car then. Wow. How original. How fast is it?"

"Well it's got a V8 with turbo. I'm still kind of afraid to put NOS in it." I laughed.

"Oh I'll hook you up." He winked.

After school, Sean and I went home and changed into regular clothes, then got in his car and went to Han's garage. We pulled into the big building and got out of the car, seeing Neela already there. Sean went up the steps while I reached into the passenger's window to grab my phone I had put in the cup holder. When I made a move to go up the stairs to the loft, I heard a short, soft whistle from behind the cars on lifts. I slowly walked passed about 3 cars, before I heard someone talk.

"Your a very nosey person, you know that?" Came Han's oh so sexy voice from behind an orange eclipse.

I looked at him as he walked into the aisle way.

"I am not. I heard a whistle so I came to investigate." I countered, glaring at him as he stopped in front of me.

"Well I was whistling for you." He said, leaning back on the hood of the eclipse.

I leaned back on my other foot and raised an eyebrow at him.

"What for?" I asked.

"To go for a walk."

"Why do you need me?"

"I don't want to go alone." He grinned slightly, walking towards the door.

I reluctantly (kidding!) followed him out the door and down the dimly lit street.

"So why did you come to Japan all the way from America?" He asked, sticking his hands in his pockets.

"I got in trouble for a lot of things. Fighting, bad grades, racing." I listed.

"You race?" He asked, giving me a surprised look.

I nodded, and glared when he chuckled and shook his head.

"You don't look like the type that would race. You're too feminine for cars." He smirked, but it quickly faded.

"Neela doesn't look like the racing type either, but nobody questions her."

"Well because we've all known her since she was a little girl. She grew up with racing."

"So did I. Sean teach me everything I know about cars and racing."

"Well he knows a lot about American stuff. But not anything here."

"Like what?" I asked, challenging him.

"Have you ever heard of drifting?" He asked.

"No." I said, then blushed.

"See? That's one thing you don't know about Japan. I'll have to teach you how to drift."

"I'd rather have Takashi teach me. His nickname is Drift King."

"He doesn't have the time for someone like you."

"You know all you've been doing this whole time is criticize me! What did I ever do to you?" I shouted at him.

"Chill out. I'm not criticizing anyone. Just trying to get to know you."

"Why would you want to do that?"

"Because your a newbie and your interesting."

"Interesting? Oh so now I'm some kind of specimen?"

"No. You're an interesting girl. I want to be your friend."

"Okay."

"So are we friends?"

"Sure I guess." I said, smiling at him.

"Good. Then that means I get to teach you how to drift." He said, and we turned and headed back to the garage.

"I never said yes!"

"Too late now. Your first lesson starts tomorrow. Be at my garage after school."

We walked into the garage and he went into another room as I went up to the loft and sat next to Neela.

"Where'd you go?"

"I went for a walk with Han. He didn't want to go alone."

"Oh. Okay. So. Its race time. You want to ride with me?" She asked.

I nodded and got up, following her to her cute blue Mazda and getting in. We drove off, being followed by Sean and Han in their cars.
