Time grows us (unedited)

"you can't do this" Ben says after pulling me aside from the rest of the people.

I roll my eyes "you haven't seen me race, i've never lost, especially to a snobby boy like him".

Before letting him get another word out i stride over to Andre.

He looks at me and Ben following behind me and smirks. "Ben isn't racing you. Since you want to earn some pride by winning against Ben, let's see if you can win against a girl" i say challenging him. Andre laughs hysterically. And then Ben grabs my hand and tries to pull me away from him.

"wait" Andre shouts as he stops laughing. "fine, let's race baby. But if i win you get to spend the rest of your night with me" he winks.

never mind i take back thinking he was hot, his attitude is a no no. But Ben tenses behind me and i realise that Andre knows Ben wouldn't allow it.

I give Ben a silent pleading look and he sighs. "Fine but if i win, you never come back here again. Oh and i want your car" I say smiling innocently.

Andre is way too confident as he agrees before even thinking about it. We decide to race at exactly 10pm. And it is now 9:45pm.

Me, Ben, Layla and her boyfriend are stood around my car. Making sure it's able to race which i already assured them it was. Ben shoos away Layla and her boyfriend so it's only us.

"and when did you become a racer" he presses with his eyebrow raised. He's in front of me making sure i can't avoid his question.

"i could ask you the same thing" i say challenging him back. He rolls his eyes and drops the subject.

We get in my car and i drive it to where the race is starting. Andre is already there stood beside his car talking to what do you know, Sam. Although Ben doesn't even seem bothered.

I get out the car and so does Ben but he comes to my side protectively and whispers "please be safe". i laugh knowing that he doesn't know how well i can race or if i can at all.

Andre's now looking at us with his eyebrows furrowed. "a girl that can race, nothing gets more sexy than that, can't wait for tonight then" he winks and once again Ben goes tense next to me.

But this time Ben goes to launch himself at him. Before i even know what i'm doing i grab his arm and pull him back and smash my lips on his. He kisses me back just as roughly as if he's trying to reassure himself that i'll be okay.

We finally part and the look on Andre's face and Sam's is hilarious. She runs off crying where as Andre glares at us as everyone else cheers. What am i even doing kissing Ben after what he did last night.

I get into my car as does Andre and we wait for the countdown.
"FIVE" i look at Andre who winks back at me
"FOUR" i get ready to start my engine
"THREE" Andre starts his engine but i roll my eyes and wait.
"TWO" i still wait and everyone's looking confused at me.
"ANDDDD" I finally start my engine blowing Andre an air kiss.
"ONE" Andre of course speeds off leaving me trailing behind him. Out of my wing mirror i see Ben slap his hand on his forehead frustratingly.

Our course is literally the parking lot but we've started on the bottom and the first one to make it to the top wins. Everyone's already running to get in the lift to go to the next floor waiting for us.

Andre is still in front of me as we reach the second floor and i don't try over take him, not yet. i need to let him think he's winning.

He drifts as he reaches the top of the ramp. Swerving past some cars parked there nearly hitting them. I do the same deciding to go abit faster.

We are reaching the third floor and i'm right next to him whilst he's trying to block me from going in front. His car bashes into mine abit and my car swerves but luckily i get control in the wheel before i crashed. I speed back up and get back beside Andre, he's starting to look frustrated.

The fourth ramp comes into view and i get the normal rush of adrenaline i used to get whilst racing.

Andre is now a bit in front of me. I try over take him but he cuts me off and the ramp is getting closer. I decide to do the only thing that will help me right now, praying i still have it in me and that i won't crash my car. still with Andre by my side I quickly speed up more getting more closer to Andre as we reach the fourth ramp.

I put my car into drift as fast as i can and drift sideways up the ramp, drifting in front of his car leaving Andre behind me and unable to over take me. I reach the top and i'm met with a load of cheers and screams as i actually win the race. apparently i still do have it in me.

I park my car and get out sneaking a look at Andre who looks shocked. He gets out of his car and looks at me impressed. Everyone goes silent.

He chucks his keys in the air and i catch them. "now that's what i call a good driver, a deals a deal" he says before smirking at me and getting into the lift to go down.

I push my way out of the crowd and towards Ben and Layla, who are stood there with their mouths in an O.

I stand in front of them and say "told you so" smugly. I press the keys into Ben's hand and he looks at me confused. "i got my own car" i shrug.
Ben smirks and walks away.

I grab the bottle of vodka i now only realised on the floor next to Layla and drink it from the bottle, instantly regretting it after feeling the burn. "i needed that" i say as Layla laughs.

We spend the rest of the evening talking to people and drinking. Well Layla wasn't.

Layla's somewhere with her boyfriend. i don't even know where neither do i care. i just carry on taking shots with the group i'm stood with to celebrate me winning. The silver haired boy from before is stood next to me smiling with everyone else. I don't even know where Ben is either, probably with some other girl but i don't care. We're all stood in front of the silver haired boy's silver BMW, i don't even know his name.

i take another shot from the bottle, before the bottle in my hand it taken and is replaced with a red cup with red liquid. I realise that it was the silver haired boy that done it. "ummm thankyou, boy whose name i do not know. But i was f-fine with the bottle" i slurr trying to actually get out the sentence. And hold back out the cup. He laughs. "It's Zach, and you'll be on the floor soon if i carry on letting you drink out the bottle, just try it i promise" he nudges the cup back to me smiling. If this boy is trying to spike me i'm gonna beat his ass.

I take a sip and it's the best thing i've ever tasted. It tastes like cherry sourz but also watermelon. I instantly decide that this is better than drinking the bottle. Zach next to me chuckles. I finish the cup within seconds and hold it up to him and he points at the table of drink set up in the middle that i didn't realise until now. I go to walk over but trip over my own foot and a hand steadies me from falling on my face.

Zach is stood there shaking his head "okay maybe you don't need another drink then" he says leading me away.

He leads us towards Layla and her boyfriend and she takes in my state and gasps. "Kelsey how an earth am i going to get you home when i have to drive myself, i also have to drop home other drunk people tonight, i was counting on you to drive yourself seeing as YOUR car is here" she sighs.

heyheyhey someone could of told me that before i started drinking so much? I raise my hands at her and then shrug.

"Right then, Layla you drive her car to Ben's house later since she's staying there, Nathan you drop the people you need to drop home and then pick Layla up after she's drove her car there and i will drive Kelsey home later, since she doesn't wanna go yet. if she promises not to throw up in my car" Zach offers and Layla relaxes. "thankyou Zach i owe you" she says walking away with Nathan.

Zach eyes me up and comes out with "i'm not being responsible for taking you home like this so sober up a little first" he says still holding onto my waist. I roll my eyes. And then I spot Ben with Sam across the parking lot,  he's leaning against his car with her stood in front of him as they kiss. The scene makes me want to throw up.

I untangle from Zach's arm and go to the drink table. "one more drink" i smirk at Zach who sees what i'm seeing and sighs but follows me.
