Race 09. The Child
Drifting HeartsShe opened the warehouse door to reveal a small racetrack loop, Hyeongkon had it made for practice rounds. He, of course, charged the other drivers for its use, but Aria never had to pay.
She turned to the boys with a huge grin on her face, "So, who's first?" She asked excitedly. The thrill of a good race always got her excited. Hopefully, none of these boys let her down.
"I have a quick question, what car are we driving?" Ricky asked.
"Your own." Hyeongkon said, coming back with a towel in his hands.
"And you're racing him." Aria pointed at Hyeongkon. "Don't let him fool you, he's good."
"You are kind to me, Ace." He said humbly as he bowed down to her.
"Not you too.." She groaned, rolling her eyes.
"I just want to be a cool kid." Hyeongkon pouted jokingly before slipping his jacket now. "So let's get started then."
He grabbed his keys and clicked it to sound his baby. A slick black Nissan 370z coupe, he tricked his out with blue rims and a glowlight for when his car was stationary.
"Does everyone just like black cars?" L.Joe joked and the boys were surprised to hear Aria laugh.
"It does go with everything." She remarked before turning serious again, "So, let's go with you, since you spoke up." She pointed at Ricky.
"Me?" He said in disbelief. The others pushed him in front and she handed him the keys to their Spyder.
"Everyone deserves a chance to try, it doesn't matter if you ." Aria told him. "Now, you have to race him and whoever has the best time smoothly wins. Which means even if Hyeongkon screws up," She glared at her friend, "And you miraculously win, if you didn't perform well under pressure, then you won't be the chosen."
"Whoever gets chosen will be the driver for the rest of our races right?" L.Joe asked her with a smirk on his face.
"If you can beat your brothers, then yes, you will be." Aria replied playfully. "Ricky, let's go." She climbed into the passenger seat and buckled up as she waited for him to get in.
Ricky turned to his brothers, "Do I really have to?" He whispered.
"We all know you won't make it, but just listen, to our teacher." CAP told him, pushing him towards the driver's seat.
He sighed as he climbed in and the engine. Ricky rolled up right next to Hyeongkon at the starting line. "We always do two laps, the first is just a fluke because whoever is on the outside has to go a greater distance. The second lap is where you have to slide in front in the inner lane and then hit the Nos when you are halfway through the turn." Aria explained to him.
"Okay." Ricky said nervously.
"You don't have to worry. I think you deserve a chance to show me how you are as a driver. I have a feeling who your driver will be, but I can't be picking favorites." Aria assured him. "So, don't worry about embarrassing yourself. I already have an idea of your abilities."
Ricky relaxed a little, "Okay, thank god. Because I haven't been driving as long as my older brothers and I have no idea what I'm doing."
"Just don't crash the car." She warned him as Mia walked between the cars.
Hyeongkon rolled down his window as he wolf whistled at his girl. She smiled at him before chiding him to roll it back up. He did so and she got ready to signal them.
"I will make sure to remember where the vital information goes." Aria said and Mia signaled go. Ricky started a second later than Hyeongkon and he got the inner lane right away.
He changed gears until he hit fourth, keeping the steering wheel at an angle for when he had to hit the turns. Hyeongkon was still a foot ahead of him after the first lap.
"Hit the gas harder and get into fifth." Aria advised and Ricky had a look of disbelief on his face. "Do it now." She said.
He followed her instructions and the car closed the gap and he floored it. "You won't take him. But at least you've put up a good time." Aria told him as Hyeongkon passed the finish line, his car completely ahead of him.
The both of them went around another lap to bring their cars to a stop slowly so they wouldn't ruin the brake pad and Aria got out of the car.
"One minute and 50 seconds." Aria said proudly as Ricky got out of the car.
"Nice try, dude." Hyeongkon said, patting him on shoulder before getting a kiss from his girl Mia.
The other boys looked nervous as Aria scrutinized them carefully. "Who shall go next.." She muttered to herself.
She pointed at the boy with a red streak in his hair. "You. What's your name?" She said.
He pointed at himself, "Me? Changjo."
"Great. You're next."
