Chapter Fourty: Bionic 500
Late At Night
Luna's Pov
I was fucking pissed.
I was fucking pissed because the new neighbor was driving his car around our lawn all night and he was being so damn loud.
All I wanted was to sleep, is that so damn hard to ask.
Just to fucking sleep.
Me and the trio were all in the living room completely tired and annoyed.
Although, Chase would not stop staring at me nor would he remove his arm from my waist.
I think my outfit is turning him on which I don't mind not one bit.
"Ugh! This new neighbor has got to go!" Bree yelled in annoyance as she slammed the door shut and walked back over to us.
Just as she said that Leo walked downstairs.
"Agreed" I nodded as I laid my head on Chase's shoulder.
"Looking beautiful sweetheart" Chase whispered passionately in my ear, causing me to shiver.
I swear this boy is making me melt.
"Why does he keep racing his car up and down our street every night?" Chase asked as he pulled me closer to his side.
"Ooh! I know this one! To get to the other side" Adam said with a smile on his face.
I just rolled my eyes at him in annoyance as I was still tired and pissed.
"He clearly has no respect for my beauty sleep. It takes at least eight hours to look this good. Ten, if you want that Leo glow" Leo explained with a smile as he placed his hands on his face.
We soon heard footsteps and saw dad walking downstairs wearing really really horrible pajamas and a black mas over his head.
"I cannot believe I have to wake up to this!" Dad said in annoyance.
"I can't believe I have to wake up to that" Leo deadpanned as he stared at dad's clothes in disgust.
"This is Italian silk. A cheetah wishes he looked this good" Dad said with confidence.
"A cheetah would have the fucking decency to cover that up with a robe" I deadpanned.
The others snorted while dad glared at me before walking towards the door and opening it as he poked his head outside.
"Hey, Pierce! Get your car off my lawn!" Dad yelled but the neighbor continued driving his car.
Dad groaned before he took out his phone and started typing some buttons.
"Let's see how he likes my new high-pressure sprinkler system. Okay, set to 'Monsoon'" Dad said as he pressed the final button.
Soon the sprinklers turned on as the car stopped as it got stuck in a puddle of mud.
Dad smirked as he stepped outside and placed both hands on his hips.
"Ha! He's stuck in the mud!" Dad yelled in excitement.
Just then a flood of mud came at him and soon dad was covered in a pile of mud.
Me, Leo and the trio laughed at the sight while dad looked shocked but mostly mad.
"Not anymore" Leo said with a smirk as we all laughed.
The others had soon left to get back to bed to try and get some sleep.
I was about to go to my room when I was suddenly spun around by Chase who had lifted me up bridal style.
"Bubba, what are you doing?" I asked.
"Sorry sweetheart, but I love you too much to let you go right now. Especially now that you're wearing that" Chase explained with a smirk.
I blushed bright red and hid my face in his neck making him chuckle.
He kissed my temple and grabbed my chin with his two thumbs and made me look at him.
"I love you" Chase whispered.
I smiled and kissed his forehead.
"I love you too" I whispered.
"Come on, you can sleep with me" Chase said and I smiled.
"Sure thing but just know I'm going to be cuddling you like a koala" I joked making him chuckle.
"I already know that" Chase said as he walked away and continued carrying me down to the lab so we could go back to sleep.
I know I might be grumpy in the morning since I will get little sleep but as long as I'm by Chase's side cuddling him the entire time I don't mind.
The Next Day
At School
I was so fucking tired because I still didn't get enough sleep last night.
Me and the trio walked in school together and as we walked in we saw a line for locker reassignments.
I was surprised when I saw that Leo was first in line.
"Leo, how'd you get to be first in line for locker reassignments?" Chase asked as we walked up to him.
"Oh. Since I couldn't get any sleep, I've been here since dawn. FYI, you do not want to see the lunch ladies without makeup" Leo explained.
"Wait. They wear makeup?" Bree asked.
"Even if they do they aren't pulling it off" I said as I rolled my eyes.
"But since I'm first in line, I'll finally get the corner locker" Leo said with a smile as he turned around to look at the corner locker.
"Wait a second. I thought this was the line for lice check" Adam said.
Then he shrugged as he walked away while I rolled my eyes at him.
"There she is: Locker 106. Away from the traffic, near the cheerleaders, and I can see Principal Perry before anyone else. And a two-second head start can save a life" Leo explained with a huge smile on his face.
Bree walked away as Chase kissed me softly on the lips.
"I'll see you later sweetheart" Chase said and I smiled.
"See you later bubba" I said as he walked away.
"Luna, can you stay with me please? I don't want to be alone" Leo asked.
I just shrugged and nodded, "sure I guess, got nothing else to do" I said as I walked over to stand next to him.
Soon Principal Perry came out of her office.
"Listen up, weasels! It's Locker Reassignment Day. Why, you ask? A little trick I learned from my days as a prison guard" Principal Perry said.
"Never! Let! The! Perps! Get! Comfy!" Principal Perry said as she started slamming her fist onto the table and then laughed.
"Also, drag your hands through the mashed potatoes to check for weapons. Mmm! Enjoy your lunch!" Principal Perry said with a smile as she licked her fingers.
"That's just fucking gross" I whispered to Leo who nodded.
"All right, Dooley, what locker do you want?" Principal Perry asked.
"The corner one" Leo said with a confident smile.
"Already taken!" Principal Perry yelled as she laughed.
"What? By who?" Leo asked.
Soon a boy walked over to us with a smile on his face and just by the clothes he was wearing I can tell that he was a rich jerk.
"By me" the boy said as he waved at us.
"Clayton Harrington" Clayton said with a smile on his face.
"Well, Clayton Harrington..." Leo said as he mocked the wave Clayton had done.
"I know you're new here, but I was first in line" Leo told him.
"Oh, I know. That's why I offered Principal Perry an all-expense-paid trip to go wherever she wants" Clayton explained.
The both of us turned to look at Principal Perry who had a smile on her face.
"Staten Island cat show, here I come! Rrow!" Principal Perry said excitingly.
"But that's not fair" Leo argued and I nodded.
"Yeah, you can't give it to some rich asshole just cause they bribe you with something" I said in annoyance.
"I know. Isn't injustice infuriating" Principal Perry said as she laughed before walking.
"I want to strangle the living life out of her" I muttered under my breath in annoyance.
"Why do you care so much about getting the corner locker?" Leo asked as we turned back to face Clayton.
"Oh, I don't. But I hate lines, and Harringtons don't wait. We let our money do the talking and right now it's saying.." Clayton said as he took out some money.
"You don't have as much as I do" Clayton mocked as he played with the money in his hand.
Then he turned to face me and smirked.
"Well hello beautiful girl" Clayton said.
"Hello annoying rich asshole" I said in annoyance which made Leo snort.
"You are a really beautiful girl, how about I take you out on a date tonight?" Clayton asked with a smirk on his face.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him, "no thanks, I would rather listen to my father brag about his ego than go on a date with you" I said in annoyance.
"Oh come on, don't be like that now beautiful" Clayton said.
He tried touching me but I grabbed his hand and twisted it, making him cry out in pain.
"First of all, don't fucking call me beautiful" I said as I released his hand.
Then I punched him in the nose causing him to stumble back.
"And second, I have a boyfriend and he's the only one that's allowed to call me beautiful asshole" I said in anger.
I grabbed Leo's arm and dragged him away with me.
I hope to never see that rich asshole ever again.
Back At Home
We all were in the living room because dad had invited the new neighbor to talk and sort out their problems.
I was standing next to Chase as he had one arm wrapped around my waist.
Soon we heard the doorbell rang and dad turned to us.
"Okay, that's Pierce. Now, watch as I handle this like an adult" Dad said.
"Okay, but what do you want us to do when you start crying?" Bree asked, earning a giggle from me.
Dad ignored her as he turned to open the door and when he did Clayton appeared.
"Clayton? What are you doing here?" Leo asked as he stood up from the couch.
"Looking good and smelling great" Clayton said with a smug smile.
He then turned to face me and sent me a smirk, "nice to see you again beautiful" Clayton said.
"Wish I could say the same, and stop fucking calling me beautiful" I said in annoyance while rolling my eyes at him.
Chase quietly growled at him and pulled me closer to him.
"Oh, my dad came to talk to your dad" Clayton said as he stepped inside the house.
'Oh you've gotta be fucking kidding me' I thought in annoyance.
"Wait. Pierce is your dad?" Chase asked.
"Hm. Makes sense. Rich jerk, rich jerk's son" Adam said making Chase smile and me snort.
Clayton stepped closer to Adam, trying to intimidate him but all Adam did was lean down to sniff him.
"Oh. He does smell good" Adam nodded making Clayton smile and nod while I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Hello? Isn't anyone going to take my coat?" Clayton asked while holding up his coat.
"Heck yeah, I'll take it!" Adam said with a smile as he took Clayton's coat and put it on but once it was on it immediately ripped.
I hid my face in Chase's shoulder so I wouldn't burst out laughing at Clayton's horrifed face.
"It's got a lot of give" Adam nodded.
Soon a man, which is probably Clayton's dad Pierce, walked into the house and tossed his keys to Chase.
"Two coats light wax, and shampoo the carpets. And don't touch the radio—I'm an easy listener" Pierce explained.
"I'm not washing your car" Chase said as he handed him back his keys.
"Me neither. But may I take your coat?" Adam asked as he placed his hands behind his back.
"Can we move this along? I got golf in the a.m, and I like to show up early to scream during other people's swings" Pierce said as he stepped inside the house.
Then he turned around and screamed, making the others but me jump in surprise.
"Drives 'em crazy" Pierce chuckled.
"Look, I'll get right to the point. You have been driving your car across my lawn at night, and it needs to stop" Dad said as he closed the door and walked up to him.
"Not gonna happen" Pierce shook his head at him.
"But I will pay you stop talking. What's your price?" Pierce asked as he took out a stash of cash from his pocket.
I immediately left Chase's side and snatched the money from Pierce's hand and walked back over to Chase.
"What, pumpkin are you serious?" Dad asked while glaring at me.
"What, the man offered you money and if you're not going to take it I gladly will" I defended.
Chase chuckled as he pecked my lips before wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Are you trying to pay me off? I'm a billionaire" Dad said while turning back to Pierce and Clayton.
Pierce and Clayton looked at each other and started laughing.
"Wow. Just a billionaire. Must be rough" Pierce said and Clayton nodded.
"Well, if you ever need a loan, you know where I live. It's the castle at the top of the hill that casts a shadow over your entire existence" Pierce mocked my dad.
'I'mma smack him if he continue mocking my dad' I thought in annoyance.
"Well. Please. You do not have more money than I do" Dad said with a confident smile.
Pierce scoffed as he took out his phone and showed it to dad, "that's my net worth" Pierce said.
Dad looked at his phone and scoffed but Pierce smirked.
"Well, not all the zeroes fit on one screen" Pierce said as he turned his phone around and started swipping the screen.
Dad's eyes widened in shock along with ours.
"Whoa" all five of us said together.
Pierce continued swiping and once againg our eyes widened more in shock.
"Whoa" the five of us said again.
Pierce continued swiping more and by the looks of it dad was either ready to yell or cry.
"Whoa" the five of us said together again.
"Oh, yeah? Well, I see one zero that's not on that screen. Ha! Take that!" Dad yelled but he seems doubtful.
"Someone's about to start crying" Bree whispered to us and we all nodded.
"Look, okay. Enough is enough. What is it gonna take for you to stop driving on my lawn?" Dad asked.
"I can't think of a thing. Good night" Pierce said as he was getting ready to walk away but dad stopped him.
"No—no! You are not leaving until we resolve this" Dad argued.
Pierce sighed and rolled his eyes at him.
"Fine. How about a contest? We could settle this on the racetrack. My stock car against yours" Pierce said.
'Dad doesn't even own a stock car' I thought.
"You do own a stock car, don't you?" Pierce asked.
Dad laughed and nodded, "of course...I own a stock car" Dad said with a fake smile.
"No you don't" I muttered under my breath.
"And when I win, you stop driving your car on my lawn" Dad said but Pierce laughed and shook his head.
"Oh, no, no, no. I think we should play for much bigger stakes. Like the deed to each other's houses" Pierce said with a smirk.
My eyes widened along with the trio's and Leo's.
"The winner stays, the loser...goes" Pierce said with a smug smirk.
"And I want your daughter to be my girlfriend" Clayton said with a smirk.
My eyes widened along with Chase as he held onto me tighter.
"Oh no, no, no, no that's not going to-" I started but I was cut off by dad.
"Deal!" Dad yelled.
My eyes widened in shock along with everyone else and I stared at him in disbelief.
Did he seriously just bet on me? My own father?
"See you on the track. Or later tonight, when I tear up the rest of your lawn" Pierce said with a laugh as he walked away.
Clayton walked up to me with a smug smirk on his face.
"See you tomorrow beautiful" Clayton said.
He tried kissing me on the cheek but I punched him in the nose causing him to stumble back.
"Touch me I will not hesitate to beat your ass" I warned him.
He was quick to leave the house and close the door behind him.
I turned to glare at dad as he smiled nervously at me.
"Are you fucking kidding me right now? You literally betted on me, your own fucking daughter!" I yelled at him.
"Pumpkin..." Dad started.
"No, no, no don't you dare try and get yourself out of this because nothing you say can save your sorry ass right now!" I continued yelling at him.
"Pumpkin relax, he's not going to win tomorrow I can promise you that" Dad tried reassuring me but I shook my head at him.
"We don't fucking know that dad! For all we know that asshole could win and I'll have to date his asshole of a son and it's going to be all your fault!" I yelled at him.
"Luna..." Chase said as he tried touching me but I smacked his hand away.
"Listen to me right now, if that asshole wins tomorrow and I have to date that disgusting jerk I will never forgive you for this and I can no longer consider you as my father" I yelled at him.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock and dad looked about ready to cry but I didn't care.
"Pumpkin..." Dad started but I cut him off.
"Don't fucking talk to me" I growled before turning away and running upstairs to get to my room.
I just had to be alone right now.
I can't deal with anyone at the moment.
Chase's Pov
I have never seen Luna that angry before but I guess it's understandable considering Mr.Davenport literally betted on his own daughter.
"I better go talk to her" I said but Mr. Davenport shook his head at me.
"No, I wouldn't. When she's angry she usual likes being left alone" Mr. Davenport said.
I sighed before I glared at him in complete anger, "I can't believe you just betted on your own daughter and my girlfriend" I yelled at him.
"Chase I..." Mr. Davenport started but Bree caught him off.
"No, Luna's right there's nothing you can say that will get you out of this because what you did was plain wrong" Bree said in anger.
"That was low, even for you Big D" Leo said in disappointment.
"Yeah, betting on your own daughter is wrong" Adam said while shaking his head.
"Guys come on" Mr. Davenport said but I shook my head at him.
"If I lose my girlfriend tomorrow because of you I will never forgive you for this" I said while glaring at him.
I turned away from him and started walking towards the elevator to get to the lab.
Once I got there I walked over to the cyberdesk and placed my hands on top of it.
I didn't even realize a few tears streaming down my face but I didn't care as I just sighed and placed my head on top of the cyberdesk.
"Chase..."
I picked my head up and turned around to see Bree standing behind me.
"Chase, are you alright?" Bree asked and I shook my head at her.
"No, no I'm not. Because of Mr. Davenport I might lose my girlfriend tomorrow" I said as I wiped my tears.
"Chase that's not going to happen, we're going to win and you're going to continue being with Luna" Bree said.
"But what happens if we don't win tomorrow, if those rich jerks win then we lose our house and I lose my girlfriend" I said.
I looked down for a few seconds before looking back up at Bree.
"I love her Bree, I really love her. Luna is the most amazing and beautiful girlfriend I could ever ask for. I don't want anyone else by my side because I just want Luna. She loves me for who I am and doesn't care about my bionics or about me being nerdy, she loves me for me and that's why I can't lose her tomorrow. I just can't" I explained to her.
A few more tears streamed down my face as I tried wiping them away.
Bree smiled softly at me before pulling me into a hug.
"Don't worry Chase, we're going to win tomorrow I promise you that. We're going to win and you're not going to lose Luna" Bree reassured me.
"And if we lose?" I asked her.
"Then we're booking you and Luna a trip to Paris so you can elope" Bree said.
I chuckled and shook my head at her.
My sister really knows how to make me feel better.
But I just really hope we win tomorrow because no way in hell am I going to lose my girlfriend.
I'm going to make sure of that.
The Next Day At The Race Track
Luna's Pov
It was the day of the race and I was not looking forward to it at all.
I didn't talk to dad or even look at him because I'm still fucking pissed at him for what he did so I avoid him at all times.
We were all at the race track staring at dad's new stock car that he managed to buy at such short notice.
I was standing next to Chase as he had one arm wrapped around my shoulder and I had my head rested on his shoulder.
"Sweet ride, Big D. For a second there, I forgot you weren't cool" Leo said.
"Yeah, a guy with a huge ego and a sport where they put your name and face on everything. It's a perfect match" Bree said with a smile.
I nodded in agreement as I moced closer to Chase.
"Are you sure you're gonna be able to beat Pierce?" Chase asked.
"I mean, you have no stock car experience, not to mention, you get carsick going to the store" Chase said, causing me to giggle.
"Please. Look at this track. Even Adam can drive in a circle" Dad said.
"But this is an oval, and those terrify me" Adam said as he shuddered in fear.
"Driving in a circle gets exponentially harder at 200 miles per hour" Chase said.
"Plus, no bathroom breaks" Adam said as he grabbed something from behind him and revealed a black bucket.
"You're gonna need this" Adam said.
"That's just gross" I said in disgust.
"Guys, don't worry about this. I have spent hundreds of hours training in a stock car simulator, I hired the best pit crew in town" Dad explained as he pointed towards his pit crew.
"I got this" Dad said with a confident smile.
"Yeah, sure you do" I scoffed while crossing my arms at him.
Soon Pierce and Clayton walked over to us with smug smiles on their ugly faces.
"Well, Davenport, we just wanted to wish you luck" Pierce said.
"You'll need it against our driver" Clayton said and I furrowed my eyebrows at him in confusion.
"Driver?" Dad asked.
"Yeah. I said we'd race, I never said I'd be the one driving" Pierce said as he turned around and pointed towards a yellow car.
"Joey" Pierce said.
We turned around and my eyes widened in shock when I saw who came out of that car.
It was Joey Logano.
Fucking Joey Logano.
"That's your driver? When does he get his learner's permit?" Dad scoffed.
"Are you an idiot? That's fucking Joey Logano and he's a fucking pro racer" I said to but I still didn't look at him.
"Luna is right. He's been racing since he was six! He's the youngest NASCAR driver to win on the pro circuit, ever" Chase explained to dad who looked ready to shit his pants.
"Ohhhh" Dad said in fear and relization.
"We're gonna need a bigger bucket" Adam said.
"And I'm going to need a taser" I muttered under my breath.
A Few Hours Later
A few hours had passed as we were waiting for the race to begin.
Adam had picked up a large metal can with a tube connected to it and started talking into it.
"Hello!" Adam yelled into the thing.
"Really?" Chase asked in annoyance as he took the thing away from him and placed it somewhere on the floor.
"I can't believe Big D has to race against Joey Logano" Leo said in disbelief.
"Guys, I can win this. You forget: I hired the best pit crew in town. Right...Pit Guy Number 1?" Dad said to his pit crew.
Wow, he doesn't even know their names.
"Yeah. Nothing motivates a team like a boss that doesn't know your name" Chase said sarcastically and I nodded.
"Whatever. Look, I'm ready. Bring on the checkered flag" Dad yelled.
Soon Principal Perry walked over to us wearing an outfit that was similar to a checkered flag.
"Morning, grease monkeys" Principal Perry said.
"I take that back" Dad sighed.
"Principal Perry? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Workin'. I moonlight as an announcer/flag waver/hot rod calendar girl" Principal Perry said as she started posing, making me gag.
"Please kill me now" I said in annoyance.
"Oooh! No one sells lug nuts like me!" Principal Perry said with a smile while I rolled my eyes at her.
"Ahem. Principal Perry, don't all of these side jobs you have take away your focus from being a school principal?" Bree asked.
"Oh ho! Absolutely. Now, let's go over some rules. Hey, Logano. Rich guy. Get your sassy chassies over here and let's talk some track" Principal Perry said as we all gathered around her.
"In each of my precious paws is the deed to your house, which makes your bet a square deal. It's 200 laps around, whoever crosses the finish line first wins" Principal Perry explained.
I rolled my eyes at her and scoffed.
"Well, good luck out there" Joey said to dad as he shook his hand.
"Thanks. I'll do my best" Principal Perry said in a flirty tone, making me gag.
"Don't say good luck to someone who's going to lose because their stupid" I scoffed while glaring at dad who looked hurt at my comment but I didn't care.
I rolled my eyes before walking away.
A Few Minutes Later
It was time for the race and I was fucking nervous as hell.
I stood next to Chase the entire time as he placed his headset on so he could talk to dad while he was driving.
Principal Perry threw her flag down as Joey immediately took off racing but dad hadn't even left.
"What the hell is he doing?" I asked in annoyance.
"I don't know" Bree said.
"Oh, he's gone already" I heard dad say through the headset Chase was wearing.
"This is very different from my simulator" Dad said and I soon got more pissed.
"JUST GO YOU DAMN IDIOT!" I shouted in complete rage, causing the others to jump.
Dad was quick to take off driving but I knew he would not win because Joey was already far ahead.
We continued watching dad do his laps but Joey was going faster than him and doing better which just made me want to strangle him and dad.
"You're doing great, Mr. Davenport" Chase said to dad through the headset.
"Really?" Dad asked in shock.
"No you fucking doofus. You're 28 laps behind!" I yelled into the microphone.
"Please tell him he doesn't have to wave every time he passes us" Bree said in annoyance.
When dad passed us he smiled and waved while I stuck out my middle finger to him in complete annoyance and anger.
Soon Clayton walked over to us with a smug smirk on his stupid face.
"So, where are you guys thinking about moving?" Clayton asked.
"Well my guy says Cleveland, but I'm an Indiana man at heart" Adam shrugged.
"Adam, shut up" I said while hitting his arm.
"We're not gonna lose, Clayton" Leo said in confidence and I nodded.
"Keep telling yourself that, junior" Clayton said.
"I'm the same age as you" Leo argued.
"Yeah but not the same height" I whispered to Chase who chuckled.
"Your wallet's not" Clayton said with a smirk.
"That doesn't make any sense" Leo said in confusion.
"My wallet makes sense. It talks to me all the time" Clayton said as he took out his wallet.
"And right now it's saying, 'Can I have Leo's bedroom?' Yes, you can!" Clayton said while playing with his wallet and kissing it.
"Oh, yeah? Well, just for the record, your wallet and your money have the same voice!" Leo said, trying to make a good comback.
"Leo, that was awful as hell" I said while rolling my eyes at him.
Clayton then turned to me and smirked, "make sure you wear something nice because when we win I'm taking you out on a fancy date that your boyfriend could never give you" Clayton said.
Chase growled at him and was about to say something but I stopped him by placing my hand on his chest.
"You're not going to win asshole and there's no way I would ever go on a date with you" I said in annoyance.
Just then a smirk appeared on my face as I got an idea.
"And my boyfriend is way better than you because he has one thing you don't have" I said with smirk.
"Oh, and what's that?" Clayton asked.
"He's an amazing kisser and he has very nice dominance, something you'll never have" I said with a smug smirk.
Adam, Bree and Leo burst out laughing while Chase smirked and wrapped one arm around my shoulder.
Clayton glared at me but his face was red in embbarassment.
I flipped my hair and walked away from him while dragging Chase with me.
Soon dad pulls up to us and gets out of his car with a frown on his face.
"I can't believe I'm losing so badly" Dad said and I scoffed.
"You do know that stepping on the gas pedal makes it go faster, right?" Bree asked.
"There must be something wrong with the car" Dad said.
"Yeah, you're driving it" I said in annoyance and sarcasm, causing dad to lightly glare at me.
"Okay, let's be smart about this and eliminate variables. First of all, are we sure the car is not in reverse?" Adam asked.
"Wait. It's been almost a minute. Shouldn't your pit crew be done by now?" Chase asked and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Yeah, and where's your crew chief?" Bree asked.
We all turned around and saw the crew cheif talking to Pierce making me more confused and suspicious.
"What is he doing down there?" Chase asked.
Then he pressed both of his fingers on his temple and used his bionic hearing to hear what they were saying.
A few seconds later he released his fingers from his temple and just by his facial expression I can tell he was shocked and mad.
"Bubba, what is it? What were they talking about?" I asked.
"Pierce is cheating. He paid your pit crew to sabotage your car" Chase said to dad and our eyes widened in shock.
"I knew it" Dad said as anger started going through his body.
"You guys are fired. Get out of here, Ken! "Ken." That was it! Uhh!" Dad yelled to the pit crew as they all walked away from the car while leaving the tires on the ground.
"Probably shoulda waited until they put those back on" Dad said and I groaned.
"Wait. Mr. Davenport, what if we replaced your pit crew with a bionic pit crew?" Chase asked.
"Or we could start rooting for Joey Logano" Adam suggested and we all glared at him.
"Hey, just throwing out options" Adam defended while we all rolled our eyes at him.
"Hold on. Isn't using bionics technically cheating?" Leo asked.
"Who gives a crap, they cheated first" I said in annoyance and dad nodded.
"Yeah they cheated first. Technically, I'm just leveling the playing field" Dad said and we all nodded.
"Okay. I'll tap into the car's central computer and optimize it for peak performance. You use your super speed to change these tires and to gas it up" Chase explained to Bree who nodded.
"And Adam--" Chase started as we all turned to see Adam lifting the front of the car off its wheels.
"Can do this" Adam smirked.
"Pretty cool, huh? Ow! Hot radiator! Hot radiator!" Adam winced as his hand were getting burned and he tried blowing on them.
"Ow! Hot hot hot hot hot!" Adam said as he continued blowing on his hand.
'I swear this dude is an idiot' I thought in annoyance.
A Few Hours Later
A few hours had passed and we were ready for the next round.
Dad had supplied the trio and Leo with matching jumpsuits. He offered me one but I refused because one I was still mad at him and two I like my own clothes.
Dad and Joey were racing and dad was actually winning.
"With 50 laps to go, Logano's lead is shrinking! Davenport is actually catching up! And don't forget, your lug nut calendars are available at the concession stand. Keep an eye out for April-- I'm wearin' tires!" Principal Perry announced.
"Great job, Chase! This car is flying now!" Dad said through his microphone.
Dad had came back into the pit and Bree and Leo hopped over the barrier.
"Okay, we need to change the tires in under ten seconds, or--" Leo started but was cut off by Bree using her superspeed to change the tires.
Once she was done her face as covered in grease.
"Hmm. Done" Bree nodded.
Dad nodded and waved before driving off really fast, making Leo's hat flow off his head because of the wind.
"This is incredible. Davenport has evened it up! I'm almost beginning to care who wins!" Principal Perry announced.
To our complete shock Joey walked towards us with a smile on his face.
"So, it looks like my afternoon just freed up. You guys need any help?" Joey asked.
"Uh..." we all said together, not knowing whether to say yes or no.
"Please say yes. I want to hide from that flag lady" Joey begged as we all turned to look at Principal Perry.
"Yoo-hoo! Hey, Joey! Wanna go halfsies on a hoagie?" Principal Perry asked.
I gagged in disgust and turned to Joey.
"Sure you can help but just stand behind me for safety reasons" I said with a small smile.
He smiled and nodded before getting behind me as the race continued.
"Two laps to go in the Rich Jerk 500. Davenport and Pierce are neck and neck-- it's anybody's race. I think we're all wondering the same question: Is there a Mrs. Logano?" Principal Perry announced.
Joey groaned and shook his head while I patted his back.
"Davenport, you're doing great. Just please stop saying "vroom vroom" every time you make a turn" Joey said into his headset.
"Gotcha. I can't believe this. I think I'm gonna win. I'm gonna win!" Dad said in happiness.
Then he accidentally pulled his steering wheel off and he panicked as the car was staring to go a bit crazy.
"Hey idiot, you know it fucking pops back on right?" I yelled into the microphone, causing Joey and the others to laugh.
"I knew that" Dad said as he placed it back on and I rolled my eyes.
Then he continued driving but to my confusion he started slowing down and I was slowly starting to get pissed again.
"What is Mr. Davenport doing? Why is he slowing down?" Chase asked.
"He's gonna lose!" Bree yelled clearly panicking.
"No. He's obviously giving up. It's the honorable thing to do" Adam nodded and I gave him an annoyed look.
"No, he's just drifting" Joey reassured us and we looked at him confused.
"It's something I learned from my racing simulator. I'm reducing my wind resistance by hiding behind Pierce's car. And then I'm gonna slingshot past him in the straightaway. On my controller it's red-red-green-up arrow, but I'm pretty sure I can make it work" Dad explained to us.
Soon dad started speeding faster and sped past Pierce and my eyes widened in shock along with everyone else.
'Come on, come on, come on' I thought.
Principal Perry soon waved the checkered flag once dad passed the finish line.
"And Davenport crosses the finish line!" Principal Perry announced.
I screamed out in excitement along with everyone else who began cheering and clapping.
I pulled Chase into a hard hug and he hugged back as he placed a kiss on my head.
'Dad won! Dad won! I don't have to date that asshole' I thought with a huge smile on my face.
"Great job, guys. Now it's time for the real race-- getting away from that flag lady" Joey said as he quickly took off his headset and ran off.
"You forgot your calendars!!!" Principal Perry yelled as she chased after him.
Poor Joey.
Dad drive toward the pit and we all clap and cheer for him and he smiles and nods at us.
He tries getting out of his car but he ends up falling out and we all wince but he got back up with a smile on his face and we resumed cheering for him.
"Man, nice work, Mr. Davenport! You totally showed those guys who's boss" Chase said.
"Yes...yes I did. But it's important to remember: Always win with dignity" Dad said with a nod.
Then he looked over to where Pierce and Clayton were and a smug smile appeared on his face as he started laughing.
"Ha! I beat you! I beat you! I beat you! I beat you. Hey, need the number for a moving company? I own one! Beat you, beat you..." Dad mocked him while singing.
He chased after Pierce as he tried getting away from dad.
Soon Clayton walked over to us with a frown on his face that made me smirk.
"Well, Clayton, looks like the corner locker is all mine" Leo said.
"I'm still richer than you" Clayton said.
"And you know what that got you today? Nothing" Leo said with a smug smile.
"Huh. Yeah, well, your wallet's nothing" Clayton said but all Leo did was laugh.
"Oh, it's something. And right now it's saying" Leo said as he took out his wallet.
"Please have my locker cleaned out by 7 a.m" Leo said with a smile on his face.
"Uhh!" Clayton groaned in annoyance.
"Yeah!" Leo mocked him with a smirk on his face.
Clayton then turned to me with a smirk on his face.
"So, how about you ditch that boyfriend of yours and go on a date with me" Clayton said.
I smirked at him before kneeing him in his priavte area, causing him to groan in pain as he fell down to his knees.
"Never going to happen, asshole" I said.
I then walked over to Chase before looking back at Clayton.
"Hey Clayton!" I yelled out to him.
He picked his head up to look at me and a smug smirk appeared on my face.
I turned around and immediately smashed my lips onto Chase's.
Chase smirked into the kiss before wrapping both arms around my waist and pulling me closer to him.
I heard the others groan in annoyance but I didn't care.
I ran my hand through his hair and gave it a small tug earning a moan from Chase.
He let his hands go down from my waist to my ass and left them there as he deepened the kiss, making me moan a bit louder.
We soon pulled away from each other and started panting to catch our breath.
I smirked and turned to look at Clayton who was glaring at Chase in complete anger but I didn't care.
"I only have the hots for one man and that's Chase Davenport" I said.
Clayton, not being able to come up with anything to say, got up from the floor and walked away.
I smirked and turned back to Chase.
"I fucking love you" Chase said, making me smile.
"I love you too" I said with a smile as I kissed his cheek.
I heard footsteps and turned around to see dad walking towards us.
Chase kissed me on the cheek before walking away to the others.
Once dad was in front of me I crossed my arms at him.
"Pumpkin" Dad said.
"Dad" I said back.
"Pumpkin, I'm so sorry for betting on you. It was wrong, completely wrong of me to that and I will never forgive myself for doing that to you. You're my daughter and you were way more important than some stupid contest and bet" Dad said before sighing.
"I really hope you can forgive me and not hate me forever because I can't live with myself knowing that my amazing beautiful daughter hates me for my dumb mistake" Dad said.
I scanned him up and down, not knowing what to do.
But then my hardened stare softens and I sent him a soft smile.
"Of course I forgive you dad, I could never hate you. I love you with all my heart" I said.
He smiled at me and pulled me into a hug.
I smiled and hugged back and rested my head on his shoulder.
"I love you pumpkin" Dad whispered in my ear.
"I love you too dad" I whispered into his ear.
The Next Day
At School
It was the next day and I was so happy because Clayton no longer goes here as him and his dad moved.
I held hands with Chase as me and the others walk towards Leo who was by his new locker.
"So, how does it feel having the best locker in school?" Bree asked.
"Oh, I'm not the only one with a good locker. I got primo upgrades for you four, too. Any locker you want until we graduate" Leo said to us with a smile.
All of us smiled at him and Adam let out a small cheer.
"No way! I get that locker for six more years?" Adam asked.
Me and Bree looked at him and nodded, "maybe more" me and Bree told him and he nodded.
"Well, how'd you pull that off, Leo?" Chase asked.
"I don't know. Principal Perry's just in a really good mood" Leo shrugged.
Soon we turned around and saw Principal Perry leaving her office and she was wearing a racetrack pantsuit.
"Hey, Dooley" Principal Perry said with a smile on her face.
"Where'd you get that?" Leo asked
" Logano left his racing suit behind, and I customized it in all the right places" Principal Perry explained as she did a small pose before walking away.
"And some of the wrong ones" Chase said and we all nodded.
"Got that right" I said in disgust.
Then the bell rang and we all grabbed our things to head to class.
