The Fast Life
Chapter 1
Avery POV
“Mom are you ready?” The school day was over and I decided to walk to my mother’s classroom and wait for her; for we can leave together. My mom has been teaching for about five years already in the same school, we haven’t moved since I was like seven.
“Darling I’m going to stay to finish these quizzes, so I might be late. You should get a ride from Lacette”. It was a Friday and my mom always gave out quizzes on Fridays, glad she isn’t my English teacher.
“Alright mom, I’ll see you later”.
“Alright, don’t go anywhere else okay! Just straight home!” After being best friends with Lacette for about three years she still doesn’t trust her.
“Goodbye Miss Jones!” I laughed it out heading to go get Lacette; she always waited by the flag pole.
The hallways where busier than ever; I got to my locker to leave my books hearing the students next to me talking about going to the race at night. I didn’t attend them because the police would always show up.
I made my way toward the door opening it ; showing the bright sun hit my face. Their where students everywhere laughing and joking. Talking about what was going to go down later on tonight. I found Lacette’s pink hair close to the flag pole.
“Hey pink stuff!” Lacette turned around showing me her famous smile .
“Hey gal! So does my best friend need a ride today?”
“How did you know?” I could feel my eyebrow lift .
“I have your mom for fifth period, she asked if I could give you a ride”.
“Oh yeah huh!
”So do you want to leave now?”
“If you want”. She nodded as she told the rest of the group that she will see them later. We walked past some trees and into the student parking lot trying to find her white kia.
“Where did you park today?”
“I had to park next to the dumb butts over there”. She pointed to the row of nice old vintage cars, and there she was. Her white Kia in between a Mustang and a Camero. She arrived to her car as she press the buttons to unlock the doors. I made my way inside trying not to make contact with anyone else.
“Hey pink hair , when are you going to race that car?” I heard a british accent from outside.
“Harry , I thought I told you . I don’t race slow cars”. I closed my door; trying to imagine the faces Lacette was giving the boys that where right next to her car.
“ Alright let’s see tonight?” The boy responded
“Sorry I’m not like you guys, I do have a life. Toddles!” She opened the driver’s door placing her bag in the back seat. Turning on the car; hearing the motor from the outside.
“What you do to your car? It sounds different”.
“Oh you know just the usual. I added more horse power”. She smirked putting on her dark shades and making a turn toward the open gate. From the rear mirror you can see the group of boys checking out her car.
The light turned green as she did another turn to the left heading toward my house.
“So where are we going tonight?” Lacette asked not taking her blue eyes from the road.
“We should go watch a movie I heard War World Z is good”
“That sounds like fun, what time?” We entered the home villages where I lived, stopping at a white two story house.
“Seven?”
“Why not nine or ten?”
“Which ever, you’re the one giving me a ride”. We both laugh as she unlocked the door and I headed out.
“See you later!” I closed the passenger door as she drove off .
