Chapter 3
Andrea's pov

Tonight was the race. Everyone was going except me and Mia of course. But I did feel really guilty seeing as Mia and Ethan were getting along so well and they were spending so much time together lately. Well only a couple of days but despite that, I still didn't want to ruin her chances.

We were currently in my room ready to pick a movie for our typical Friday night.

"So what do you wanna watch?" I ask Mia, turning my head to face her.

"How about magic Mike xxl?" She suggests.

"No we've watched that three times in a row." I complain as I was getting really frustrated with her.

"I know but you've got to admit Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer are the bomb. Too bad one of them are gay." She puts the remote to the side as she popped a piece of popcorn in her mouth.

Personally I loved Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer wasn't far off, but I was never going to admit that to her. She'd start dressing me in dresses and tiaras. I'm perfectly fine with my flannels and snapbacks.

"So what do you want to watch then?" She asked me.

"I know. Let's watch Hanna Montanna" I exlaimed at the sound of my favrouite childhood T.V. show.

We switched it on and inmediately started to sing, more like screeching.

"You get the limo out front (Ooh-ah-woo), Hottest styles, every shoe, every colour..." We bobbed our heads along with the music.

"Well might I say, that's some really good singing. You know you should try out for American idol. You would definitely make it, Andrea." Someone gives their unwanted opinion from behind.

I turned around, crossing my fingers, praying that it would'nt be the person it sounded like but it looks like luck wasn't on my side today.

"Zach what are you doing here? Get out and once again it's Andy." I state pointing at the window.

There's no way I would let him go out the door. That would make me explain why he was in my room in the first place and let's just say I'm not the best at making up excuses.

"Aren't you going to come wish me luck at the race?" He asks.

"You're racing?" I ask.

"Yeah, it's my last race. Come on, you have to come." He pouts.

"No we're not going. Right Mia? " I ask Mia.

"Well Andy, I really do want to go seeing as Ethan's going to be there." Mia pleads.

You know when I said luck wasn't on my side today, well luck was definitely not on my side today.

"Pleaseeeeee. Please please please please." Her and Zach both beg with puppy eyes so how was I supposed to resist?

"Fine!" I gave in.

"Well I've got to go as the race starts in half an hour. See you later Andrea." He says as he winks at me and leaves through the window.

"It's Andy for christs....." I try to say but he leaves before I could finish my sentence.

"What was that?" Mia asks with wiggling eyebrows.

"Nothing. We're just neighbours nothing more." I say truthfully as I pick out a new flannel, a crop top amd some highwaisted jeans which I paired with some superstars and a chanel beanie , which I paired with my chanel skateboard.

"Mhmmm" Mia humms.

***********

We head to the underground racing stadium and it's was fully packed. People who weren't from our school were here, gangs were gathered here and many more including my brother who caught my eye.

I quickly turned away but it was too late and he started to head over to our direction.

"Andy?" He asks.

"Oh, hey Jake. What are you doing here?" I try to act casual.

"What am I doing here? What are you doing here?" He asks sternly.

"No fair. I asked first." I whine in order to avoid the topic.

"Well, I've got a race tonight. So are you going to tell me or not!" He asks once more.

"I'm going with not" I try one last time.

"Andy!" He asks warningly.

"Ok. Ok. It was her fault." I say pointing at Mia.

"Mia, what on earth are you guys doing here. It's dangerous." He warns us.

"Then why are there bunch of teenagers there?" She questions him.

That was one of the main things I loved about Mia, she could be brave and courageous.

"So?" She asks him.

There was a long pause.

"Exactly." I say.

"Come on Mia, let's go." I reply as I drag her away from Jake.

We grab a couple of sodas and sit down on the wooden logs as the race was about to begin.

Soon after Ethan had joined us and I instantly felt as a third wheeler.

A half hour had passed and it was nearly the beginning of the race. As I sipped my beer I had noticed that Jake was racing Zach.

Jake and Zach didn't really race much but they only did it once in a while to 'feel the adrenaline' as Jake says.

The gunshot was fired and the race had started. Everyone was on their feet and cheering whilst I was suddenly feeling uneasy.

"Mia, I'm just going to head out. I dont feel like staying." I say honestly.

"Are you sure? Shall I come? Do you want to finish the episode?" She says obviously noticing that something was up.

"No, it's fine. Just stay with Ethan and text me on the details if anything happens." I say with a wink.

"Andyyy!" She exclaims as I start to head out.

I came out and I could hear the cheering increase. I guess the race had come to an end.

I began to walk to my safe zone, which was really the skatepark.

Although it is public I really like this place at night when no one's here. It feels like it's only me and nothing else matters.

I head up to the skating rink and did a couple of tricks.

After a couple moves or so, I sat down on the edge to get some rest but what I wasn't expecting was an applause and out of all people, from Zach.

"What are you doing here?" I say almost a bit too harsh.

"Sorry, its just that....wait weren't you supposed to be at the race?" I ask him.

"It finished like twenty minutes ago." He says as he looked at his watch.

I guess I've been here longer than I thought I was.

"So, aren't you going to congratulate me on winning." He asks with a smile.

"Yes. Congratulations on being able to drive a car." I say to him as I lightly clap my hands together.

I carried on skating for a while as he just watched me in awe.

"You have a real talent there." He says as he points at my skateboard.

"Yeah, ever since I was small I was always into skateboarding." I tell him, I didn't even know why I was telling him this.

"Anything else you're good at?" He asks.

"Yeah. I absolutely love music. You see I take skateboarding as a hobby but music is my passion. My dad used to teach me until...." I say as my voice began to croak.

"But anyways I haven't been able to write any songs lately seeing as I've lost my songbook so I've been focusing on skating." I say to him as he listens attentively.

However, what we didn't notice was that someone else was in our company. None other than the one and only...Rhianna.

"Zach what are you doing here? We're all heading to mine for the after party and you know maybe we could...." she says to him but I quickly cover my ears. My ears aren't ready to hear such things and not because they're not virgin ears but because I don't really care what anyone says.

"Anyways...I'm just going to head back home." I say as I pick up my skateboard and my phone.

"Bye Andrea." He says.

"Its Andy!" I exclaim as I head home.

**********

I was currently at home getting ready for bed and I noticed that it was around three in the morning.

I was about to hop into bed when I saw a shirtless Zach through the window.

"Now Now Andrea. Didn't your mother tell you that staring is rude?" He says with a mocking tone.

"I wasn't staring." It came out more like a question than a statement.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." He says.

"Anyways what are you doing here. Aren't you supposed to be at Rhianna's?" I question him.

"I was but couldn't be arsed. Anyways, night night Andrea. Don't let the bad bugs bite." He says as he switches off his light.

And soon the entire street was filled with pitch black darkness.
