Thanks for everybody who read this story and I hope you enjoy. Sorry for the lat update…

Biology came rather quickly and seriously pissed me off. The teacher thought it would be bloody hilarious to stick me in the front of the class, make me say something about myself and let all eyes be on me, wishing silently that the pressure of the class staring at me would make me crack. Think again. I didn´t worship attention or indulge when I had it, but racing meant I had to have some sort of confidence and a lot of backbone. "You can sit there, next to-" Yeah, him. The absolutely gorgeous guy that didn´t even seem real enough to be true. My stomach was soon flooded with butterflies, a sensation I wasn´t used to feeling as there wasn´t many guys where I used to live. Okay, in truth, there were no other guys bar my family that lived there. It got really annoying. Meaning I only felt like this when I was aloud out round Río or any other city, of course body guarded by some family friend. So that meant my whole relationship thing with the other sex wasn´t a very long one, but I did know how to charm and win someone over. I also knew how to control myself, meaning these feelings had to go. Now.

"Hey" I said half-heartedly as I sat down next to the sex god and kept my breathing under control.

"Hey" He smiled at me and I almost, almost, lost my train of thought. "You need any help with what we are doing?" His voice was velvety and deep…my brain was betraying me.

"Na, I´ve got a far higher level in this than what you guys are doing. Home schooled" I shrugged my shoulders as if it meant nothing and turned my back against the window to lean.

"Me too." He gave a slight smile before crunching his eyebrows up in a deep frown. It was actually quite cute, and again I chastised myself. Yeah, fall for the first fit guy you see, eh? So not happening. We stayed in silence for five slow minutes with him frowning in concentration and me picking at a loose string on my sweater. Then the mood around both of us turned swiftly and a spark of energy flooded through my body, without warning, pushing me to start a conversation or explode running out of the room. "So, you and your family…you seem really nice people, why do people avoid you like the plague?" He chuckled under his breath and his eyes blasted with amusement, like there was a joke behind what I had said.

"They…I don´t really know. I just guess they don´t like outsiders. We´ve been here for a year now and they haven´t changed. Yet in your case, they seemed to have warmed up to you" I I scoffed at his words, but nodded none the less.

"They haven´t warmed up to me. They want to use me. I´m a new toy, that´s all. And it will all pass. Though I still don´t understand why they don´t like you guys, you seem brilliantly fine to me…" The teacher's voice boomed through the class and we quickly quieted our voices to a slight whisper.

"Erm…well Alice, my sister, really wants to meet you and has told me to invite you over to our place. You can come any day whenever, someone will be there. I promise, we won´t use you like a "new toy"" I laughed at his words and made my way into a conversation. I found out little about his family, but they all sounded like nice decent people. All different yet the same, a little bit like they looked, to be honest. I accepted the invite and took his and Alice´s number and then he started asking about me. I tried to answer the best I could, but…well that. I wasn´t exactly going to say that my parents were running from the law or that they were street racers, or that fact that I was one too. I didn´t see that going down really well. "Moved here from Arizona because my grandfather needed some help around the place. He can´t cook. And I´m used to being passed around, my parents work away a lot. My life is rather boring, not really adrenaline driven." His eyes frowned once more, but I could see concern in his eyes. Di he realize I was lying? Impossible, I´m a great liar, I´ve done it many times that I even could believe myself. "My personality is just the caring loving person you have here. A little bit plain. I enjoy reading though! God, I love books, any one, and every one." He smiled slightly but I could still see that damn emotion in his eyes and I tried to stop from laughing. My personality was far from plain, maybe a little bit wacky and crazy, but the crazier the better. It was hard keeping my emotions under control as I did tend to get pissed off easily, though no incidents had happened that day. The only truth was that I loved to read. Wuthering Heights was by far my favorite; however, I loved anything with words and decent writing skills on it.

"I don´t think you´re plain" I grinned at him and whispered a shy thanks. "You´re actually very interesting…I´d-" The bell rung and people started fighting to get out as soon as possible, me being one of the smart one´s and slowly packed my things away. "I´ll see ya later, I´ve gym" I smiled at him before heading towards everyone´s hell. Except mine, I was clumsy for sure, but rather good at sports, thanks to my gene´s I guess.

The class did start without incident, I found Angela and kept her at my side at all time´s, he didn´t really moved away either which was good. The down fall? Some of those people from lunch were there too. Jessica trying to get the boys attention, and girl I think Angela called Lauren pointing that fake nose of hers up at everybody and Mike was searching around rapidly until his eyes set on me and he grinned widely. I rolled my eyes and turned around. If uncle Dom or dad was here, he´d be dead meat. Heck, if any of the crew was here he´d be targeted. I was everybody´s little girl in the crew and they protected me like you wouldn´t believe.

"Mr Mak wants us to run a few laps, see who has the best resistance." Ang whispered in my ear and a wicked smile was playing at my lips. The girls I could see I would win, they were all more worried about breaking a nail than running and the guys…we´d have to see. I´d been trained to run for miles without stopping just incase I had too, this would be a piece of cake.

"Everyone up in line, good…you´ll all be running until you can´t run no more, five laps minimum or you have to write a paper on how to work resistance. Ready, get set…go!" The lads did just as expected and ran ahead at top speed an the girls lagged lazily behind on a slow jog. "Ladies, speed up or paper!" The teacher threatened, the girls speeding up but still lagging behind. Angela and me were in the middle between the too sets of groups at an average jog,, taking it easy. The fifth lap came around and the girls behind us, every single one without exaggerating, parted from the rest and went to the benches to "moan about how devastatingly horrible and torturous that was". Fucking barbies.

Angela did really well and managed to the tenth lap before pulling out and walking to the side line´s before bringing out an inhaler and taking a whip. I praised her with a quick clap and a smile her way, my eyes shining. The girl was persistent and just brilliant. I was lagging behind the guys now, trying to show them that I was getting wary. I watched the smile´s on their face´s and the grins of triumph, but that didn´t stop two guys from leaving. Out of the ten of them from the beginning, there was now only four. Soon they became three and I caught the last of the guys up, running now at their pace without even breaking a sweat. They looked slightly enraged that I was still running and pushed them farther. Two laps and there was only two of us left. I could see Mike from the side line´s staring intently at my body, no not at me or my eyes, at my body. "Don´t think you are going to beat me, girl" The boy sneered and I laughed full heatedly.

"Boy, I could whip that arse of yours any day. Be prepared for the first beating." I pushed myself a little more. One more lap and he slowed down, heaving in his breath heavily before coming to a halt and falling on his knees.

"Bella, you can now stop. Congrats for beating everybody in this class and showing what real resistance is." I came to a jog before stopping, panting a second or two as the blood pulsed heavily through my veins. Five quick seconds later I was fine and heading over to Angela.

"Oh my god! That was brilliant, I mean, wow!"

"I can do far better, that was just a warm up" I grinned at her before laughing out loud next to her. Before long, Mike, Jessica and Lauren were heading our way. Lauren looked vivid and Jessica also looked pissed. Mike, well I ain´t even going there.

"That was so hot!" Mike exclaimed and I "naturally" blushed and looked down. "I mean…shit, girl, you so beat him!" He continued to gush over my win, but was soon faded out by Laurens squeaky nasal voice.

"What are you on, steroids or something? That´s like impossible!" She was literally all up in my face, and the teacher was out of the gym, meaning we were getting a small crowd.

"Maybe if you got off that fat ass of yours once in a while and did some exercise you´d find it´s not that hard. I keep fit and in shape, I do exercise, try it sometimes" There was a hushed silence as she took in my words. The air was tense around us.

"Why you little…you think that you can just storm in here and expect everyone to be at your feet and treat you like you´re a queen here? Fuck no, I´m the queen of this school, I rule, you get me?" Where did the whole keep low thing go? Why was I letting my act slip away and let my anger get the best of me? Did she know I was capable of kicking her ass in my sleep?

"This may be your "kingdom" now, but when you get out of this place, you´ll have nothing. Just the hopes of finding a job and making some sort of money. You´ll be kicked out of your house for some reason or just leave because you: "so can´t totally take living with my shit faced parents", but they´re all you will have…you´ll end up selling your body on the street for money, end up in drugs or drink…you will end up a mess, so listen to me now little girl. I have no patience for people like you, non. So if you want to make it out of the school with that fake nose of yours intact, I would leave me the hell alone" My voice was low and dangerously calm, but it reached everyone´s ears. Even the teacher´s who was leaning against the gym´s doors smiling slightly before turning around and disappearing. "Now move" I glared at her and she cowered, moving slightly out of the way, but I knew she wasn't one to give up. She´d try and embarrass me until I´m on the brink of leaving the school. I´d be ready and waiting. I grinned as I swept passed her and moved to the changing rooms, so much time had passed that it was now the end of school, and I was more than glad. Today has been shit.

I jogged out of the gym and towards my truck, groaning as I thought about how slow it went. "I so need to ra-"

"Hey" I jumped slightly and whipped around at her voice. "Hey you. Don´t think this is over you bitch. Watch every way you go cause I´ll be waiting, you´re gonna wish you were never, like born!" Yeah, I was right. She was stood a good few meters away from me, a scowl permanently on her made up face.

"Lauren. I´ll be waiting!" I smiled and waved like we were old friends before turning around, rolling my eyes and climbing in my truck. Once I was home I closed the curtains and chucked my body against the sofa, bouncing slightly before picking up a remote from behind the cushion and pressing the red on button. The flat screen on the wall turned on and after pressing a quick combination of numbers, the channel changed over, the screen asking for a password. I said a random phrase uncle Dom had put on and waited as the screen changed once more. "Ring parents" I stated and a picture of my family was soon staring at me as the beeping started.

On the third ring someone picked up and the cam was turned on, letting me see my favorite uncle. "Hey uncle Dom" I sighed with a soft smile. A small red light was turned up in the corner of the TV meaning the cam was on. Yeah, this TV had been tuned up.

"Hey, sunshine. How´s my favorite niece?" He asked and grinned back at me, but noticed the lack of enthusiasm on my side.

"Fine…I miss you guys too much though! I mean, yeah sure it´s nice here, but school is shit boring and I have a need for speed!" He chuckled but shook his bald head, his cross necklace shaking.

"We miss you too, a lot. But try and stick it out, don´t give up, kid. If it gets too much or somebody hurts you or anything, anything, just tell me and I´ll be over there in nothing."

"Don´t tell dad, you know he´ll become lethal…then again you would too, but just you come, I don´t want teenage blood on our hands" I laughed half heartedly, but wasn´t joking. These guys loved me too much at times. "Ugh...I´m just saying that I can´t stand it. My academic level are higher than even the schools last year, I don´t need to be here. I miss going out in Rio and racing…"

My uncle looked at my full of sympathy in his eyes… "I understand, Bells, I do. And to make you feel better, I´ll tell you about this race a friend of mine is setting up in Seattle. If you want to go I´ll make arrangements, but you will be looked after by this friend of mine, eeh. No running off and drive carefully." I scoffed at his words but begged for more info.

"Call this num-" A knock at the door rang out and I looked at the TV, worry filling my eyes. I turned the TV onto standby, but left the cam on as I went to open the door carefully. If it was the police…what would they do to me? Or maybe not even the police…there were worse things out there than the police, like the elite force for example.

"Hello?" I asked as I unlocked the door, leaving the chain on.

"Hello, Bella."

As far as I go today. Hope you guys enjoyed, and please review…
