#Chapter 46-Race Weekend

Sebastian Finally, we’ve arrived. Race weekend is coming in full force. I’ve kept my distance from Gregory and left early this morning with Evelyn by my side to get to the track. It feels like I haven’t been on the track for a real race in years. Practicing alone is a thousand times different than riding that track with dozens of racers. “You nervous?” Evelyn asks me as we sit at a red light. I turn to see her wide smile, but behind it, I can feel the anxiety. “Nah,” I lie, shrugging. “I’m too cool to have any nerves on the track.” She rolls her eyes, and I smirk as I return my gaze to traffic. “You’re really something.” “Admit it, you love it.” “Drive the car, idiot.” But I am genuinely nervous for today. It’s not that it’s been a while since competing races, but Evelyn’s never watched me. Somehow, knowing her eyes will be glued to the track, makes me sweat. Once we arrive, everything starts out fine. We get set up, sent down to the tracks, and talk to my team.
