Chapter 5: before the first day of racing

Minty C's POV

I woke up in my new bed in the castle, since I'm pretty much royalty. I looked at the time. It was eight thirty. I got out of bed, brushed my teeth and hair, put my signature outfit on and walked to my cart, then left for the track. I got there pretty early, so not many people were there yet. Unfortunately for me, Taffyta was. "Well, if it isn't miss showoff," she said in a very snotty way.

"I wasn't trying to show off," I said in a small voice.

"Oh look, little miss showoff is shy. You wouldn't even survive a day in the races," she said like she was queen of the world. This offended me a lot.

"Look buddy, I have as much of a right to be here as you, and I'm a good driver because I'm Vanellope's sister, the best driver in the entire arcade," I exclaimed in one breath.

"Oh, you mean the glitch," she said.

"She's not a glitch," I said, a hint of question in my voice.

"Are you telling me she didn't even tell you she once was a glitch, until that ugly wrecking guy, that fixing guy, and that trigger happy soldier chick came along," she explained, I shook my head. "Oh, I'm sorry. That is sad, your own sister won't even share her past with you," she replied to my shake. I looked down then realized something.

"There's probably some explanation of why she didn't tell me," I said, a toothy grin on my face.

"You mean the fact that she's insecure about her past and doesn't want you to realize you're from a family of glitches," she said as I nodded. "Well, if you ask me, she's nothing without her glitch power. I wouldn't be surprised if her boyfriend would dump her if he figured out her glitch power is the only thing that makes her worthwhile," she said. That went too far.

"Rancis would never do that to her," I said, defending the one's I care about. Why would she even pick on them like that?

"You really believe that?" she asked. I nodded. "Well, if you can give me proof, then I'll believe your little theory," she said and pushed me to the ground. When I fell, I scraped my knees, my elbows, and my forehead.

"What is going on here?" someone asked. I looked up to see it was my boyfriend, Gloyd.

"I was just teaching the new girl whom she shouldn't mess with," she said, flirtatiously.

"Well, knock it off. She doesn't deserve this kind of treatment," he said while picking me up.

"Whatever," she said while sticking her lollypop, which she had from the beginning, into her mouth. Then she left.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, just a little bruised up. I'll be fine," I say and hug him tightly, "Thank you for being there for me."

"Your Welcome," he said and returned the hug, "I love you."

"I love you too," I say and begin to cry. Just then, Vanellope came in her cart, the Wreck-it Mobile.

"Hey, everybody," she said then looked at Gloyd and I, "Gloyd, what happened?"

"Taffyta is what happened. She first was just talking with her, then she pushed her," Gloyd said over my shoulder. Vanellope looked enraged as she walked over to Taffyta.

"Really Taffyta, really!" she exclaimed at Taffyta.

"I was just talking with her and then she started trash talking the ones I love, you know…" she started, but didn't get to finish because Vanellope interrupted her.

"Don't tell me that bull shit!" Vanellope yelled.

"How do you know I'm not telling the truth?" Taffyta questioned snottily.

"Because you don't like anyone," Vanellope said. There was a long silence that was broke by Taffyta mimicking Vanellope. After the long argument was over, it was time to start the races. I knew from the beginning it was going to be a long day.
