At around five, I told Sauna.
"Beauty, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving", ii said and she looked at me weirdly.
" What?",I asked.
"The last time you said that, you got into trouble", she said with a frown.
" Don't think I'll slow you off just like that. Where are you going?",she asked.
"Come on beauty, its not anything dangerous. So don't worry about it, I'll be back before eight", I told her and she sighed .
" Fine, you can go",she said and I thought, that was unexpectedly easy.
.........
I arrived there just a few minutes to six and Jason was already there.
"I see you are on time, Luke", he said with a sneer.
" How could I be late for something this important ",I said grinning as well.
" So, the deal still stands. If I lose, I give Sauna up. But if you lose, you.....",
"I leave the school and never see her again. Yep that is it", I said
Suddenly, I heard a voice.
" What the hell Luke",she said walking up to me.
"Beauty, how did you get here", I asked her in surprise.
" I followed you, that's how. Why would you make such a foolish bet Luke",she asked me.
"That's the only way to end things with him", I said with lowered eyes.
" And did you think of how I'll feel. You can't just bet on me without me knowing. You need my opinion first. I can decide not to follow your deals if either one of you wins you jerk",she said really pissed.
"That is why I decided to leave the school if I lost, because I know you wouldn't let go. And I am never going to lose to this son of a bitch", I said firmly.
She hugged me tightly.
" I believe in you, but never do this behind my back",she said.
"Never again", I said as I hugged her too. Kissing her on the fore head.
On the other side, Jason.was burning.
" I think its time",he said walking away.
We stood facing each other.
"No one can back down on the deal, Luke", he said.
" I'm suppose to be the one saying that, Jason",I said to him.
"You know what, its good Sauna is here. That way, she can see you lose, and when you do, I'll kiss her right in front of you", he said before putting his helmet on.
God, I hate this guy. He really pisses me off.
" We will go three laps. The winner of the final lap wins",he said as we got ready.
I sat on my bike and held the steer.
Shit, my arm hurt. It still in healing, and I'm stressing it out. But I can't give it up yet.
When it hit green, we both speed on. Jason was a good racer, even though I was better than he was,but with my arm I was clearly at a disadvantage here.
I was lacking behind by a few metres. I had find a way to pass this guy.
I tried and begun to close the distance and before long, I was right behind him. Overtaking him became the headache, since he begun blocking my path.
I tried again and again, but this jerk was just....
I finally overtook him, and increased my speed to avoid him. Ignoring the pain in my arm. I had to win this one at all cost, and nothing will stand in my way.
I had created a great deal of space between us when I noticed my gas tank was empty.
"Darn it, that ass hole", I cursed out loud.
He had drained my gas even before I got here. He is so cunning, what other traps has he implanted then.
I was annoyed, but I kept a cool head.
I rode in for gas and came out almost immediately.
Jason was ahead, but not too much.
I managed to to catch up, but now, he seemed angry and wouldn't givee a chance. I tried to overtake from his side when I noticed him closing in. I was trapped against the wall and that was when I noticed I had a flat tire.
Just then, he came up in full speed and in doing so, he used his elbow against my arm.
The hit sent a shock of pain through my arm, and I lost control of the bike. I thought...
If I were to fall of right now, with the speed I'm going. I'm going to be severely injured.
With that I grabbed hold of the bike. But with a punctured tire, controlling it became difficult.
I manage to ride it in, but my arm was killing me. There was just one lap to go and I don't think I can ride with my arm.
...........
Jason's POV
All my plans worked. With that arm and bike, it will be a while before he is back in the race. And by that time, I'll would have claimed my victory.
I was hit by a wave when I saw him back in the race this quickly. And he was coming up in full speed. Even with the damage I did to his arm, he was still able to ride, and that fast. It isn't even up to five minutes.
He was't this fast even when we first begun.
What is going on!
He caught up to me quickly and tried to overtake. But I blocked him. I'm not losing you jerk.
We went on and on until my bike started to show an empty gas tank.
What the hell. I looked down and noticed my gas tube was open and the gas was leaking out. It must have happen when I hit Luke in the arm.
By the time I looked , he had overtaken me and was ahead. I tried my best, but it was too late and he had cross the finish line.
Luke's POV
I had won. I breath a sigh of relief. For a moment, I thought it was over.
I walked up to Sauna, holding my arm.
She rashes over and hugged me proudly.
Just then Jason walked in and slammed his helmet to the ground.
"How!, how did you win. You couldn't have", he said walking up to me.
I pulled Sauna behind me.
" That's because, you lost from the very beginning. I had people come here earlier than me. They saw you drain my gas and plant that nail on the way",I told him with a smirk.
"You did what!, but still, that doesn't explain it. How were you able to get back to the race so quickly",
" Well, I brought three bikes of the same type and colour and each time there was a problem, I just jumped on one of them",I said.
"That's a cheat!, you can't do that", he said.
" I just cheated the cheater, that's all",I said close to his face with a smile.
"Its not fare. Why ?", he sat on the ground.
Then he turned to Sauna.
" Do you really not love me?", he asked calmly now.
"I'm sorry, I don't.", she said with lowered eyes.
He got up, turned around and quietly walked away.
" Luke, that was amazing. How did you do that. And especially that last part. How did you do it with a broken arm",Sauna asked.
"Oh, that wasn't me", I told her.
" What, then who was it?",she asked in surprise.
"Oh, that was Jake. He took that part for me", I said and just then, Jake walked out.
" Sauna",he said.
Sauna looked.at him for a while and then smiled.
"May is gonna have to hear of this", she said excitedly.
