It was midday on the race day Friday and I sat at lunch with one of my best friends, Em. We were at a small cafe in the mall, I was sipping on my chocolate latte as Em was fumbling with the corner of the table cloth.

I knew something was troubling her, yesterday when I skipped school she acted off much like Leah. I had planed to go to my first three periods of school than ditch the last two so I could get ready for my race. I decided that I was to thin for a guy so I got a coat thing that made me look buffer.

What? I had to look good even if I was a guy.

Em had invited me just as I was leaving school at lunch and told me she had to tell me something important. I had agreed as I would of just waited and hour until I started getting ready as the races didn't start till six-thirty and it only took three hours to get my boy outfit on. It takes time to look this beautiful guys, even if I was basically changing my gender.

I had also brought a dark brow wig to wear under my helmet just in case, truth is I saw the wig and it looked so cute so I brought it.

"Jackie... You need to know something... It happened after you left..." Em trailed off looking at her black tea as she continued to fumble with the table cloth.

"Em please tell me.. I promise I won't get mad," I said softly, the curiosity killing me. What? Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

"Well there was rumours that went around the school..." She trailed off again.

"And me and Leah found out that Charles was cheating on you..." She said in a whisper looking up at me to see my reaction.

"With who?" I asked in a monotone hiding my anger, well more like rage.

"With Tilly, they've been sleeping together for a while," she murmured looking sadly at me.

"If this is a joke it's not funny," I said coldly narrowing my eyes at her.

"It's not, I'm really sorry Jackie. I only just found out, otherwise I would of told you before," she said quietly looking back to her drink.

"I'm gonna fucking kill that dick," I muttered under my breath thinking of ways to murder Charles.

"Please don't do anything stupid, I know it must hurt but don't do anything drastic, just please forget about it," she pleaded and I looked up at her.

"You knew from the day you came that he slept with her, and you didn't say shit until now?" I snapped at her narrowing my eyes into slits.

"I- I- I'm sorry, it's just I didn't want you to do anything you might regret, because when your anger you get hot headed," she said quietly fear in her voice.

"You. All of use are not my real friends, I thought that you would trust me with anything you told me, just like I would. But if you hide things from me, than our friendship doesn't mean shit, and nether do you," I spat at her standing up and storming out the door.

I slammed it shut behind me and started my bike and putting on my helmet. I sped off down the highway going as fast as the traffic would let me. I got onto a less crowded road and sped down it.

The road turned to dirt but I rode down it easily. I was coming up to a bend pushing past 200km/h. I bent my knee to turn but I put it to far.

In a flash my knee was bleeding my jeans ripped. The bike wobbled and crashed, sliding across the dirt with me still on it.

Pain shot through my leg as the bike slowly came to a stop. I cried out and glanced down as the bike came to a stop.

Blood was coming out of my right leg and it was covered in dirt, it came halfway up my leg and I winced.

I pushed my surprisingly undamaged bike off my leg and flicked the stand down so it sat upright. I groaned pulled myself up.

My leg was gravel grazed and bleeding heavily, but there was no bone damage so I knew it wasn't broken or anything.

"Now I need new jeans," I pouted flicking the visor up and sitting properly on my bike.

I took off my leather jacket and ripped off my white singlet wrapping it around my leg to stop the bleeding. I put back on my jacket so I wasn't riding in just a bra.

I cursed lifting up the stand with my bleeding leg and rode slowly down the road. I was at my house in ten minutes tops as the familiar dirt road was one of the back streets near the dorms.

I parked my bike and hobbled into the dorm office, the receptionist was busy talking on the phone and didn't hear me so I took the chance to walk to my dorm.

I opened the door and Lola yelp up at me, like she knew something was wrong she started licking the singlet that was tied around my leg.

I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed the first aid kit from a cupboard and hobbled towards the bathroom. Yeah I probably looked like a retard hobbling everywhere.

I sat down in the bath untying the shirt and tossing it away. I ran the water over the graze getting all the dirt out and clearing the blood.

I pulled out a bandage from the kit and wrapped it around tightly, the bandage went all the way mid thigh and was wrapped around it three times to make sure that it stopped bleeding.

I took off my jeans tossing them next to my bloody shirt and unzipped my jacket. I was only in my bra and undies now.

I stood up carefully putting my weight to my left leg. I hopped down the hallway and to my bedroom crashing when I got my bed.

I flopped down on my bed and winced as more pain enveloped my leg, I screamed into my pillow trying to subside the pain. Yeah it really doesn't work like it does in movies.

I glanced at the clock and it read 3:43. Shit how long has it been since lunch?

I probably should start to get ready as it would take longer to fix my leg so I could still ride. Hey I'm not letting a small scratch stop me! Even if it covers half the side of my right leg....

I sat up groaning and started to change into my dude outfit, thank god these jeans are baggy otherwise one of my legs would be fatter than the other.

I slid the jeans over my leg easily and smiled proudly when I did it with out killing myself. I put on a new white singlet and a puffy jacket to make me look buffer.

I than put my guy jacket on and zipped it up. I checked the time about than and my eyes widened when it read 5:56pm I cursed out loud and ran as fast as my stiff leg would let me into the bathroom and tied up my hair pining any loose strands back with bobby pins.

Tabby was going to meet me after the races because she had gone to Britty's place after school, she still didn't know I was Jack but I planed on telling her tonight.

I positioned my wig on my head and grabbed the baggiest jeans I could find in my cupboard for later. I also picked up Lola's leash and clipped it on her so she was ready to go.

I put my shoes on and grabbed my helmet sliding it onto my head.

My look was complete.

I smiled at myself in the mirror, I would look hot as a guy. Wait is that a compliment or an insult? Ah who cares.

I walked out with Lola tagging behind me and climbed on my bike placing Lola in my jacket so she wouldn't fall off.

I had taken pain relievers to subside the pain in my leg so it didn't hurt so much anymore.

The engine roared to life and I turned out of the parking lot and onto the road.

I was at the track within ten minutes and checked in with Britty.

"Just line your bike up, bay nine. Now last place will be eliminated and if you crash and are unable to compete you will be eliminated as well. So pick yourself up if you crash and there is sixteen races in total," Britty smiled at me.

"Thank you very much Britty," I smirked under my helmet and her eyebrows scrunched together.

"Wait Jackie is that you?" She asked her eyes widening.

"Yep the one an only, so don't tell anyone because I know girls aren't allowed to race," I shushed her.

"Fine but after you will explain!" She yelled at me and I pushed my bike away with me to the start up position.

All the bikes were already there including Jesse's who I've been avoiding for the past few days. Rather skilfully might I add, I skipped the classes I had with him and actually hid in a rubbish bin this morning when I saw him running at me.

I felt my jacket moved and face palmed myself when I realised Lola was still in there. I fished her out and she yawn.

I checked the time the race would start in a few minutes and I wouldn't have time to find Tabby so I sprinted to my stall. I tied her collar to my stall and patted her softly sending a quick text to Tabby so she knew where Lola was.

"Riders get to your bikes the race is about to begin," I heard the commentator call over the speaker.

"Shit," I cursed and took off running.

"The first race qualifiers John Mcgregor, Kain Lockly, Jay Buckley, Jesse Frey, Billy Jive, Tommy Blank, Jack Skye."

"The other race qualifiers are Zac Hux, The siblings Scott Love and Blake Love , Toby Taylor a teach from the private school apparently, Liam hardy, Luke Luck, Jeffery Blank I believe his Tommy's older brother, Peter Jive and Jordan Buckley related to Jay, so that sixteen races in total," the announcer boomed and I pushed myself harder.

"All races get to your positions," the commentator instructed.

I made it just in time as everyone started to rev up their bikes. I started mine as well as I positioned myself on it. The engine roared to life the crackle putting a smile on my face.

I looked to my sides at the other riders, I saw Jesse's bike first than I recognized Blake's and Scott's bikes next to his. I scolded remembering how that asshole had kissed me and than went and kissed Kate, like just kissing Kate alone is gross.

Was everything that he told me a lie when we were little, when he said he wouldn't date girls because his waiting for the one still mean the same as it means now? That was his excuse when ever a girl asked him out...

I regret thinking that he wasn't that bad when I was on the floor with pens scattered over the schools floors, I regret wishing that someone would help me because that someone hurt me, and the real problem was that him kissing Kate after me meant much more that it should.

I'll never forgive that asshole. Because that's what he is a lying jerk of an asshole.

And that's all he'll ever be now, because I don't forgive easily and I'm not changing my ways for him. Even if he does things to me that no one else does.
