I drive to Paige's and the smile doesn't leave my face the whole way there.

"Can we talk?" I ask Paige and Ali as we enter.

"We'll be outside," Chase laughs as Luke and him go outside.

"Spill," Ali says as soon as they are gone.

"I kissed Ricky!" I whisper shout.

"What?!" Paige squeals in excitement.

"He said we have to talk when I get back home, but he sounded happy. Please don't tell! Not even the boys can know," I say.

"Don't worry we won't tell a soul," Ali smiles.

"I don't want anyone finding out. That could be really bad," I shudder.

"He could go to jail," Ali whispers.

"I know," I frown.

"Just hide it. You shouldn't have to stop this if he makes you happy," Paige smiles.

"Thanks," I smile, hugging Paige.

Ali lets the boys back inside.

"Are we ready to go?" I ask.

Ali and Luke in one car. Jo, Paige, and I in the other," Chase smiles.

I walk out and sit in the back of Chase's car.

I let Paige sit up front with him. We crank up the radio and jam out on the way there.

"Are you nervous?" I ask Chase.

"Not really," he smiles.

"Do you ever get scared you're gonna wreck?" Paige asks.

"I don't worry because if I do I freak out," he says.

"I do the same when I play soccer," I say.

"You play soccer? Awesome," Chase smiles.

"Do you play any sports Paige?" I ask.

"I used to cheer," she giggles.

I grin.

She gives me a warm smile, and we listen to music the rest of the way there.

"Still wanna drive my racecar?" Luke asks as we get out of our cars.

I look at Ali for approval, and she gives me a nod.

I smile.

"Totally!" I smirk.

"Let's go,' he says.

He leads me down to the racetrack and to his pitstop. I admire his shiny black and red striped racecar.

"This is amazing!" I smile.

"This is my baby," he smirks.

"How many people race?" I ask.

"Us 2, and 3 others," he says.

"What's the prize?" I ask.

"All 5 of us bet 10 dollars, so the winner gets 50," he says.

"I can do math," I roll my eyes.

He smirks.

I open the driver door and get in the seat. He gets in the passenger side. I put on my seatbelt and he puts on his.

I crank it and drive a few laps around.

"You drive slow," Luke laughs.

"I'm going 45!" I giggle.

"I always go like 80," he smirks.

I park the car at the pit stop.

"Thanks for taking me," I grin.

"No problem. Thanks again for being honest. I'm gonna give it a try with Ali. You're like the little sister I never had," he smiles.

"Thanks Luke," I grin.

We get out and head over to the rest of the crew.

"Was it fun?" Paige asks.

"Very," I smile.

"Looked fun," Ali grins.

I pull her by her arm away from them.

"Luke said he was gonna give it a try and date you!" I smile.

She squeals.

"You're the best Jo!" she giggles.

"I know," I wink.

I look over to the crowd of fans and see the bitches walking our way. We walk back over to the crew and I point them out.

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask.

"I came here to see Luke," Kendall gives him a flirtatious smile.

I see Ali fume.

"Well he's taken," I smirk.

"By you? That's disgusting," she scoffs.

"No, not by me," My jaw clenches.

"Who would want you anyways?" Samantha laughs.

"Her boyfriend," Paige smirks.

I glance at Paige with wide eyes.

"And what's his name?" Maddie asks.

"Aaron," I say, lying.

"He's probably blind," Maddie laughs, and Kendall and Samantha join in with laughter.

"How about you all just go somewhere else?" Luke cuts in.

Kendall has a look of hurt on her face.

I laugh and she quickly recovers, rolling her eyes. She huffs a little and walks away, Samantha and Maddie following her.

Paige, Ali and I make our way to the bleacher and quiet down as the race starts.

The last lap comes around and Chase is in the lead.

"Go Chase!" I stand up and cheer.

We all cheer for Chase as Luke follows closely behind.

Chase crosses the finish line first.

Paige and I stand up and cheer for Chase.

We head down to the track to see them.

"You did great!" I tell Chase.

"It was incredible!" Paige smiles.

"Thanks," he smiles, pulling us both in for a hug.

I see Ali and Luke at his pit stop. They look like they're having an intense conversation.

"Dinner's on me!" Chase calls after he gets his prize money.

"I'll have to pass. My friend is coming to get me," I smile.

"You sure?" Chase asks.

"Positive. Good job though," I grin.

I hug Chase.

"This is our last race ever," Chase frowns.

"Why?" I frown.

"Parents want Luke and I to focus on school," he frowns.

"I'm sorry dude," I frown.

"See you later," he smiles.

"Bye Ali, bye Luke!" I call to them in the distance.

They wave to me and I walk back to the bleachers. I pull out my phone and dial Ricky's number.

"Hey," he says.

"Can you come and pick me up? I ask.

"From where?" he asks.

I tell him the address and let him know no one is here before he hangs up. I smile as I watch my friends get in their cars and wave to them as they pull off.
