Kelsey clicked her pen aggressively, tapping her foot restlessly against the floor, as she stared intently at the clock. It was 3:14pm. Only one minute before school finished and then she was free for two whole months.

One, two, three…

The loud chiming from the bell resonated throughout the entire building and immediately students leapt to their feet and raced towards the exit. Kelsey decided to wait it out a little while the stampede of teenagers flooded out through the school entrance. After the majority of the teens were gone, she rose to her feet and swiftly made her way towards the exit. She spotted Jack Darby, Miko Nakadai and Raf Esquivel sitting together in a small group outside the school doors. Those guys were nearly always found together. Moments later a yellow muscle car pulled up onto the pavement, followed by a large green car and a blue motorcycle that was parked not that far away. Jack, Raf and Miko instantly ran towards the vehicles – Jack hopping onto the blue motorcycle, Raf climbing into the yellow Camaro and Miko leaping into the green four-wheel drive. Kelsey watched them drive off, wondering where they were heading off to. Her mind shifted back into reality as her gaze drifted over towards her own trusty push bike mounted right where she had left it. She walked over and strapped on her helmet, slinging her backpack over her shoulders. Kelsey often wished she had an actual car of her own, maybe something like that yellow Camaro that Raf had drove off in, then she could just drive herself to school, but she could never afford a luxury such as that. For now, she had to settle for the bike.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?"

She slowly turned my head around to see the local red-haired school bully, Vince.

"What do you want?" Kelsey sighed.

"Oh, nothing much," Vince smirked, lashing out his leg towards the front wheel of Kelsey's bike which caused the bike to topple over in the process. Kelsey fell onto the rough concrete, scraping her knee in the process. She winced, grasping her knee with her hands, and glared daggers at Vince.

"Oh nothing, just wondered if you'd like to come for a ride with me." He said suggestively, his eyes raking across Kelsey's body like she was a piece of fresh meat.

She rolled her eyes and quickly hopped back onto her bike, not caring about her knee that was twinging in pain. "You know that's not going to happen, Vince," She hissed at him before taking off on her bike. There was no way she was going to give in to a jerk like him.

She didn't even bother looking back, but knowing Vince she was pretty sure that he would at least attempt to follow her for a while. Guys like him didn't give up that easily. With those thoughts in mind she pedalled even harder, determined to place as much distance between herself and the greasy teenager. A loud growl of a car engine suddenly resonated in her ears, and sure enough Vince was driving alongside her in his stupid sports car.

"Are you sure you don't want to come for a ride with me babe?" he grinned, his arm resting casually on the car door.

"Can't you take no for an answer?" She snapped back at him, pedalling harder.

"I'm sorry but I can't," Vince replied with a smirk. "And, well, it doesn't look like you've got much choice either. There's no way your bike can outdo my car."

"I'd like to see you try," She hissed at him, fire fuelling her legs as she zoomed off at intense speed. She could've sworn Vince's jaw hit his car floor as he watched her take off, but she was too far ahead of him to even bother looking back at seeing his ugly face.

Despite her efforts, she knew there was only a matter of time before Vince caught up to her. He was right – there was no way she could get away from his car, no matter how fast she pedalled. Once again, she was greeted with distant sound of Vince's car engine, and at hearing this she forced her aching legs to go even faster. Sweat rolled down Kelsey's cheekbones as she struggled to push herself forward, her heart racing wildly in her chest.

And then, that's when everything went horribly wrong.

It was at that moment that Kelsey's bike tire wedged itself onto a giant crack in the road, causing her bike to break to a sudden halt and send her flying through the air like some human torpedo. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as she was flying through the air, and then she hit the harsh concrete with a bone crushing thud.

When she opened my eyes, she felt pain crash over her like a wave. Blood was streaming down the side of her head and she struggled to move. She could still hear Vince's car rapidly approaching and that sound alone made her force herself through the pain to get away from him. Heaving with breath, she used her arms to drag herself across the road, pain shooting up her arms as she slowly crawled forward. Her eyes slowly drifted up, her head spinning, as she stared at a red sports car that was parked only a few feet away from her. She wondered how she had even missed such a gleaming red car. From the look of it, it was a European design. It sure did look pretty. Maybe someone was in that car and could possibly help her.

"H-Hey!" She desperately called out, her chest heaving. "P-Please help!"
