Even after a hot shower I can still watch him swimming. He repeats the same movements over and over. The rhythmic swimming continues for a while before I hear him get out.
I wonder if it's his way of coping with things.
I hope not. I don't want him and I to be the same.

"Ms. Black please pack your bags immediately, you have to catch a flight at 2 pm."
"Celine, I said it before and I'll say it again. Don't give me orders without any reasoning."
"Zak Brown wants you to drive for Oscar in the Brazilian Grand Prix."
"what."
I gave those words Celine two days ago. Exactly 12 hours before my interaction with Grayson. Before going straight to the airport without even finishing my classes for the day. Apparently Celine already packed my suitcase for me so I didn't had to do that too. I sadly missed out on the two free practice sessions on Friday because my flight got delayed.

"and thats p6! Well done Nayla!" these words feel weird coming out of Jalens mouth. I know F1 is a while different league but it's weird hearing him congratulating me for sixth place. Nonetheless I reply with a "Thank you, Jalen. I'm very happy with the result. Really honored for this opportunity."
I pull into the garage and get out of the car that has wears the number 81. Finally I can remove my balaclava, this thing suffocates my hair every damn time. My racing suit is immediately opened and bound around to help me cool down. The water bottle is almost half empty in a few sips.
The media has been harassing me since seeing my face appearing when I removed my helmet at the 3rd free practice session.
"Nayla, why do you think Zak chose you to race for Oscar Piastri and not Asher Eros?"
ignore the media.
Alexandra, my PR manager, had taught me.
"How do you feel about the crash that almost took you out in lap 34?"
you don't have to reply to questions you don't like.
"Do you think your parents would be proud of you?"
honestly that is such a stupid question to ask how do you even have the human de-
don't say things you'll regret.
"How does it feel to be the first female driver in formula one?"
get your fucking facts right. I'm not the first
"What erm- difficulties as a woman, did you had during the race?"
the same as a fucking man?
god you're making yourself uncomfortable with those kind of questions.
don't be rude to interviewers.
"Nayla! How does it feel to be the youngest competitor to start a race?"
