I was walking in the paddock admiring all the fans who had huge smiles on their faces, I was hoping that my friend Aurora would be able to join me after she finished looking after her brother, after all she would never miss something like that, especially if she can admire my twin brother. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize I had bumped into someone and their coffee ended up on me.
"Ugh, be careful next time, amigo" I heard a fairly deep voice with a Spanish accent that sounded a little angry.
I looked at my shirt to notice that it had a brown coffee maker. I knew better than to wear it knowing that it's my favorite shirt.
"Yeah, well, I'm not the one who spilled coffee on someone." I replied in the same tone as I continued to look at my shirt.
"Yes, yes, whatever you want, mocoso" He replied, hissing slightly as he looked at me and then left.
"But what's wrong with him?" I muttered to myself, then walked back around the paddock until I found my brother's box and went inside.
I said hello to the engineers and mechanics, even though I rarely went to my brother's races the team knew me, and I went to my brother's private driver's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in" He heard my brother's voice say through the entrance and we entered.
"Hi, Lan" I greeted my brother as I entered the room and asked for the door behind me.
"Matty! It's so good to see you, um... what happened to your shirt?" I heard him ask as he looked at my shirt and I looked at him.
"Some idiot ran into me spilling coffee and accusing me of everything. Like the world revolved around him" I rolled my eyes as I spoke and sat down next to my brother.
"Poor you, this can't be a good start to the day" He said empathetically as he looked at me
"Yeah, but oh well I'll walk around like this all day" I said while shrugging.
Lando looked at it and then took a spare shirt from the small closet there.
"Take this, I don't want to make my little brother wander around the paddock in a dirty shirt" He chuckled as he handed me the shirt.
"You're only a couple seconds older than me, Lando, and thanks anyway," I murmured as I changed my shirt.
"Please, please, ah yes, after the qualifications there will be a dinner among the drivers, I wanted to know if you wanted to come with me so I can introduce you to my best friend who I've told you about so much" He said looking at me while making puppy eyes.
"Ugh, okay, if you care so much I'll come with you" I moaned as I spoke.
"Thank you, I love you Matty!" He said quickly as he hugged me and then ran off to go do qualifying.
"Of course" I muttered to myself as I went out too, I closed the door and then went to the VIP area of the McLaren garage and stayed there watching all the qualifying while I kept thinking about the guy I collided with earlier.
