To get this straight Sean is the new DK, but Takeshi is still around and still wants to win it back from him. He also never found out about Han's side dealings so Han isn't dead. Got it?
Woops did I say that out loud.
"Yeah drifting, you race?" Twinkie asked.
"Uh, no." I said, I don't even know what they're talking about.
"Yeah, you're new here so I tell ya how it goes. Ya see Tokyo is the drift capital of the world." He explained.
"Drift?" I said confused.
"That's what I said" said Sean to me.
"Aight, how bout you come tonight. Check out the town." He said, with a wink
"Ugh, I don't know…." I said.
"Come on girl, it'll be fun." He said. 'It'll be fun' yeah I've heard that before.
Neela leaned over to me and said "You should come, don't worry you'll enjoy it. It's the real Tokyo."
They don't seem to be letting it go. "fine." I said .
"I'll take her" Neela offered "We'll meet you there."
"Aight see ya there Rio." The bell went and they all started to walk to class I caught up to Neela,
"Neela, Look I… About tonight." I started.
"Meet me out front when school finishes." She said
The rest of the day went slowly I had no idea what to expect tonight. Hopefully it's nothing to crazy. I'm not exactly the world's biggest party animal. In fact I avoid any person who is the slightest bit intoxicated.
Finally school finished and I made my way to front school entry, and met up with Neela.
"Let's go" she said.
We slowly walked towards the train station "We'll go to my house and get you some clothes for tonight." She said.
"So what actually is drifting and where are we going?" I asked.
"Drifting is a way of driving, and were going to watch the races tonight. Don't look so nervous we'll look out for you." She comforted.
"Well I better call my dad, and tell him I'll be out."
I pulled out my mobile and dialled my dad's number. No surprise it went straight to message bank.
"Dad, its Rio.I'm gonna be out tonight with some new friends. Don't worry about me." I said as I hung up the phone.
Soon we were off the train and walking up the stairs to her apartment. She got out her keys and looked the door.
"Sorry the place is kinda messy, Sean doesn't exactly keeps things clean." She said making her way through the clothes lain out on the floor.
"So you live with Sean." I said.
"Yep, just recently actually, here put your bag down. The bathrooms through there have a shower I'll find you some clothes."
"No way!" I said looking at the tiny thin piece of material Neela was calling a dress.
"Come on, you'll look hot." She said putting the blue dress against my body.
"No, it's so small!" I said looking at it.
"Yes, now go and just try it on." She said pushing me towards her bedroom.
"Get changed, then I'll do your hair and make up." She called.
I quickly shed my school uniform and put on the dress. It was short tight fitting. Nothing I would normally wear, but I had to admit it was pretty. I sighed I don't think Neela would let me take it off anyway.
By the time I came out she was already a tight fitting black dress.
"Woah you look good," she said.
She started curling my hair into waves while she told me more about herself. But there was one thing I was still confused about.
"Neela, why are you being so nice to me. Letting me borrow your clothes taking me out?" I asked truly interested in her answer.
"Well, it's just that your new not only to this school but too this country. It's hard, I know, not fitting in. Plus these days I don't have many girlfriends, I end up spending all my time at the garage. You're a really nice girl, it'll be good to have some friends away from racing." She said
"Well thanks; it's good to know I have a friend here." I said.
"Done" she said she looked towards the clock it was 7:30 "come on let's go"
She chucked a pair of black stilettos "Come on I'll show you my baby." She said
Baby?
She took me down to the car park and
"Here she is" she said gesturing to the new looking very shiny car.
"Wow nice car." I said.
"I know right. Hop in." she said.
I had never seen anything like it. There were very expensive and new cars everywhere, and pretty every one of them had a couple of girls showing way to much skin hovering around. The music was booming in my ears
"Wow."
She pulled up next to a car where Sean was. We both hopped out. Except I felt naked and very uncomfortable.
"Yo , Yo Rio!" I saw Twinkie making his way through the crowd to where we were standing.
"What up girl? Damn you clean up nice" he said.
I looked down and blushed.
"Who's your friend" said an accented voice behind me.
I turned around to see, a tall Japanese man with bleached hair. He was handsome , but he looked very intimidating. As a reflex I took a step back.
"hey man," Twinkie said
"She's no one men don't worry about her" he said.
"Well you can leave." He said to Twinkie "I'll show her round."
"Nah man..uh" Twinkie started.
Before he could finish he started pulling me in a different direction.
"I'm Morimoto. What's your name?"
"Rio." I said nervously looking for Twinkie who had just been lost in the sea of people.
"So are you new around here"he said while he put his arm around my shoulder and pulling me closer to him. I felt very scared and uncomfortable. I didn't like being touched especially be strangers.
"Yeah new." I said quietly.
"Hey Morimoto, Leave the poor girl alone."
