Clary pov
After I said 'go', they took off. Everyone started cheering and ran towards the elevators to see who would get to the top first and win. Thankfully I caught the first one. When I got to the top level, I could hear the cars coming up the ramp. I smiled as everyone else appeared out of the elevator and stairs.
"So who do you think will win?" Asked Seb as he walked up next to me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know. The new kid could be good or bad." I said. The I saw a car drive up. Jon.
He got out of his car as the crowd roared and ran up to him. I smiled at his victory and waited to see my car pull up. Oh boy did he jack it up! When he climbed out I ran over to see the damage.
"Damn! What did you do?" I asked opening the hood.
"Well, I don't exactly know how to drift." He said running a hand through his hair. Jon came over and took a look at my car.
"Clary, I think you need to give him lessons on how to drift." He said checking the engine. I looked up at Jace with a glare.
"Do you know how much this cost?!" I asked as the crowd gathered around to witness our argument. I raised an eyebrow in question.
"A whole lot of money. If you even want to think about touching this car again, you have to fix it." I said flatly walking up to him. I swore steam was coming out of my ears.
"Clary! We've got to get this towed back to the garage!" Said Jon, as the crowd cleared up and headed back down to the lower levels to get ready for another race. I turned around and nodded as he called a towing company. I turned back to Jace and bumped his shoulder as I walked to the elevator.
The next day
"Jon! Can you pass me the wrench!" I said as I fixed up my car. He nodded and passed me one. I was currently working on the engine when I heard a car pull up. I grabbed a towel and dried the oil and grease off my hands. The car stopped and Jace got out. Jon turned from what he was doing and got out of his chair.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Well, 1. I came here to help you fix Clary's car. And 2. To ask you'll for drift lessons." He said leaning aginst his car. Izzy and her boyfriend Simon walked up next to me. A smile tugged at my lips as I walked up to his car.
"You want drift lessons huh?" I asked running my hand over his shiny car. He nodded. "Ok. Choose a car." I said. He got up and walked into the garage. I looked up at the sign. 'Fray's motor service' it said. The red paint was starting to fade. Jace walked about looking at each car. he stopped at the Nissan 350Z. I smiled.
"Nice choice," I said walking up to him and handing him the keys.
"Come on guys. Time to teach the new kid on the block how to drift." I said walking passed him. Iz and Simon took the Mazda RX7, Jon took his car from the race, and I took the 1998 Toyota Supra. These are all drift cars.
When we arrived at an abanded parking lot, we all pulled over on the sides.
"Ok Jace, so you basically Drive forward and turn the steering wheel hard into your first turn, press the clutch down (for automatic cars: shift into and then out of "N"), yank and release the e-brake quickly (get the rear wheels to lock, don't hold the e-brake any longer than your first sensing of the rear wheels stopping their individual spins," I said. He nodded and got back into the car.
LINE BREAK
"Again!" I shouted. This is his 35th attempt at learning how to drift. I was about ready to give up. He tried again and hit a ten cones.
"Ok, Jace. It's 5:00pm. Let's call it a night." I said.
"Clary, are we coming back tomorrow?" Asked Izzy
"No. We have school tomorrow." I said Iz nodded.
"Si! Wrap up everything! Time to head home!" I called out. He looked up and smiled. He walked around and picked up all the cones.
"Hey, Clary. Should I drive the car back to your garage?" Asked Jace walking up to me. I turned to him.
"Yeah," I said. He looked at my clothes. I'm wearing short pink shorts with a gray Topshop Lace-up Crop top.
"Well, I have to say. I like this outfit. But I preferred last night's outfit." He said his eyes lingering on my body a little too long. I turned a light pink. He smirked. Then a hand appeared on his shoulder making him turn around.
"Stay away from my sister." Growled Jon.
"Jon. JON! Just leave it." I said. I noticed that he was gripping Jace's shoulder a little too tight. He heard me and let his shoulder go. But not before he shot Jace a final death glare.
"Clary, you're riding with me. Iz, Simon, you take the Mazda RX7 and 1998 Toyota Supra and lead Jace back to the garage." He said. They nodded and got in their cars. I got in with Jon, and he sped off towards our house.
"Mom! We're home!" I called out locking the door behind me. The house was HUGE! I mean like H.U.G.E Huge! 5 floors. A flour for each person in out family and an attic. Me, Jon, mom & dad, and my sister Helen. She dosesn't like street racing. She's more of a goody 2 shoes when it comes to the law. But she doesn't report us. Thank god!
"Mom and dad left for the airport two hours ago!" Called out Helen from the kitchen. Jon headed upstairs and I joined Helen in the kitchen.
"Hey," I said grabbing some orange juice.
"Hi. Aline is staying over tonight." She said. I smiled. Aline is Helen's girlfriend.
"Ok. Where is she?" I asked.
"She's on my level doing something." She said running a hand through her blonde hair.
"She's probably in the music room," I said sipping my drink. She nodded. Each of our levels has one room that holds all of our hobbies. Helen likes music. So she has a music room with tons of instruments, I have an art room, and Jon has a video game room.
"Well, I'm going to order pizza for dinner," I said grabbing my phone.
15 minutes later, the pizza arrived. Jon paid for it carried it into the kitchen. Aline and Helen joined us for a night of laughs and pizza before we all disappeared on our own levels. Aline going with Helen. After brushing my teeth and putting my pajamas on, I climbed into my turquoise covers.
The next morning
Beep. Beep. Beep. went my annoying alarm clock. UGH! I climbed out of bed and dragged my feet to my bathroom and turned the light on. My hair is in one big messy afro. I growled and brushed my teeth. Then I got in the shower and washed my hair with pink berry shampoo and pineapple body wash. I got out and dried off. The I walked to my closet and picked out skinny jeans with ripped holes and a Bailey Classic Top (Fuschia Pink). And I put on Strategia Thigh High Boots.
"HELEN! JON! ALINE! TIME TO GO!" I shouted. I heard feet pounding down the stairs before I saw Aline, Helen, and Jon rushing towards the front door.
"I'm going to stop by Java Jones for breakfast," I said as I opened the garage door.
"Same here." Said Helen. We all got in our cars. and drove off towards Java Jones. After we were done having our usual we all drove to school.
"Hey, guys!" I said walking up to my friends. Izzy, Simon, Magnus, and Maia.
"Hi." Said Maia.
"I hear there is a new kid that is really hot!" Siad Magnus. King of the gossip world. I raised an eyebrow.
"Clary!" Called out Jon. He and his friends Sebastian, Jordan, Bat, and Alec coming towards my group.
"Hey Jon, what's up?" I asked pushing a stray piece of hair behind my ear. He walked up to me so he could whisper into my ear.
"Stay away from the new kid." He growled before walking away with his friends. I frowned slightly before walking inside to my locker. My first class was Social Studies. When I walked inside, I understood why Jon wanted me to stay away from the new kid. Because the new kid is... Jace.
