Present day...

Alex, Jake and Erica were staying in an apartment at Downtown Tokyo.

Alex was in the kitchen while Erica,Jake and 2 other people,Lucia,who is Erica's friend and Francis, who is Alex's cousin we're playing Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock. With Erica on vocals and Jake on drums.

Suddenly the pan burst into flames

Alex:"HOLY 🤬 now thats what I'm talking about!"
Erica:*Runs into kitchen* "What the heck was that?"
Alex:"Oh nothing. It's just the grillpan."
Erica:"Don't do anything stupid!"
Alex:"I've done this before"
Sophia:" 'Cmon Eri the song is about to start!"
Erica:"Ok comming!"
Alex:"Wait up! I'm gonna have a go at GH!"

Alex picked a song and started.



After that...

Alex:"Whoo! "🤬 Yeah!"
Erica:"Too back we all didn't get perfect"

Dinner time
Jake:"Oh my god! I it's like we died and went to food heaven!"
Alex:"I learned from the best"
Jake:"Who?"
Alex:"My uncle"

Jake sliced open a piece of steak and looked at the inside

But before they started helping themselves to Alex's cooking they we're interupped by the TV, Showing Justin Bieber getting overkilled on CSI



Everyone:"WOOOOHOOOO!!!! DIE BIEBER!!!!"
Sophia:"He didn't get killed like that on CSI."
Alex:"I know but this is better. ALOT BETTER!"

Then suddenly, Jake phone rang

Jake:"Just fine, sir. Anyways, this is my friend Alex Sanchez."
Adrian:"Hi Alex. I've heard a lot from you."
Alex:"It's an honor to meet you Mr. Newey."
Adrian:"Anyway let's get down to business. I have these car's for you to pick so you can get started on your career."

Adrian gave Alex the spec sheet of all five car's and began to read each one thoroughly.

Alex:"Thanks for the new car's Mr.Newey."
Adrian:"My pleasure. Oh by the way do you guys want to eat lunch at the restaurant inside the hangar?"

Jake used to study Race Car Design under Adrian.
He (Jake) is usually scared of driving fast, but he'll try and it every now and then.
 
I wouldn't blame Alex for choosing the Alfa over the Focus ASBO ST.
 
Hey guys! I'm happy you guys are enjoying chapter 6. And I know the demands for chapters is high.
So from now on in between every major chapter (Ch. 6,7 and so on..) I'll post some Mini-Chapters showing what Alex and his friends normally do in their spare time.
And if you read them closely, you might see something happening between Alex & Erica, If you know what I mean...
 
Chapter 5.5 - Rediscovering A Forgotten Memory

Alex was In his room Playing "Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth".
Suddenly Erica entered the room.

"Hi Alex, what's that?"
It's my PSP. What else? And if your asking whats the name of the game, It's "Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth".
"Did you finish the game?"
"Yup! At long last I kicked Loki in the 🤬!"

As the two watched the final cut scene....



...Lenneth's words touched Erica's heart.

She began to say in her mind:
"Alex, Just like Lenneth said. I never knew what was inside to your heart on that day... that day I left you behind."

As she saw Lenneth and Lucian kiss, she said to herself:
"Why am I regretting it so much?"
"Why am I feeling like this?"
"Maybe if I do it, everything will be alright."

"Erica, Hello?? Earth to Erica Isabel Reyes?? HEY ERICA!!!"
"Sorry I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"Nothing"
"Well get off my bed and go to sleep. We're going back to Japan tomorrow so we can test our cars. We should all get some shut eye."
"Ok. Goodnight Alex"
"Goodnight.

Hey, it's a fellow pinoy speaking now (but from another province :P), and your story is great, keep it up.

Just take your time writing the stories. No need to be in a rush. That way, better ideas will come to your head.

By the way, I like your style of inserting stuff like that scene where the gang see Bieber die on the TV.
 
Chapter 6 - A Team Is Born

Alex and the Gang returned to Tokyo and their cozy apartment after acquiring their first car's.

The next day...

Alex and Jake arrived at Tsukuba Circuit. They were surprised that the track was completely empty of any cars or spectators.

"No Super GT Race?"
"Nope."
"No D1GP."
"Nada."
"No Local Racer's."
"nanimo nai" ("none")
"Ok then, let's go!"

They pulled over to the grid, Alex looked at the rear view mirror at Jake's Renault Cilo.

TsukubaCircuit.jpg


"Hmm... The Cilo has less power but alot lighter than my Alfa. So I guess I'm at a huge disadvantage."

TsukubaCircuit_1.jpg


Then the 2 races off,breaking the silence of the afternoon.

TsukubaCircuit_2.jpg


"Hey! I'm going fast and I'm not scared!"
As Jake slowly approached Alex's Alfa, he was shaking his head and said.
"I knew this was gonna happen..."

TsukubaCircuit_15.jpg


Both cars approached the 1st corner, Alex was looking for a way to get around Jake and the ultra lightweight Clio.

TsukubaCircuit_16.jpg


"Wow. Jake's a natural."

Alex examined every turn to make his move during the 1st lap.

TsukubaCircuit_17.jpg


"🤬! Is this a dream?"
"Nope it isn't. Look Alive,Sunshine!"

TsukubaCircuit_11.jpg


"Ok last turn! Hoped you enjoyed staying front, Jake. Cause it'll be your last! At least for now."

TsukubaCircuit_12.jpg


"Oh too wide!"
"Uh oh.."

TsukubaCircuit_29.jpg


"I guess you want to get serious."

TsukubaCircuit_30.jpg


"Last lap. Time to bring to bring home the baco..what the?"

TsukubaCircuit_3.jpg


"Heh. Not bad.. want seconds?"
"As a matter of fact I do!"
"Ok but your gonna regret it!"

TsukubaCircuit_5.jpg


"I guess he has his pedal to the floor already."

TsukubaCircuit_6.jpg


"Tail swing. Not a good sign"

TsukubaCircuit_7.jpg


"Show off!!!"
"🤬!"

TsukubaCircuit_24.jpg


"You should be lucky I didn't crash."
"I'm the luckiest guy in the world!"

TsukubaCircuit_25.jpg


"And this time you won't pass me!"
"Let's see about that!"

TsukubaCircuit_26.jpg


"Almost there!"

TsukubaCircuit_27.jpg


"And as always behind your butt."

TsukubaCircuit_28.jpg


"Alright 1750 kg's of Italian Metal, Let's see what you got!"

TsukubaCircuit_31.jpg


"That was close considering the Alfa is heaver."
"Nice race. 'Cmon lets head for the pits"

Lucia,Francis & Erica arrived later in the day to try their set of wheel's.
Alex rode alongside them so that they won't crash their cars.

TsukubaCircuit_34.jpg


"Normally I hate hatchbacks but this is an exception."
"♪You are the only exception♪."
*Both laughing inside the car*

TsukubaCircuit_36.jpg


"That engine sounds awesome!"
"Not bad for a 200hp engine

TsukubaCircuit_39.jpg


"AHH!!!"
"Take it easy."
"Ok. *Deep Breath* that was scary."
"Don't worry, it happens."

After testing their cars, they returned to their apartment and had a meeting in the dining room.

"First Of All, I was impressed. I thought you guys would be scared of driving fast but..."
"I think we're all natural's."
"Jake was the one what surprised me the most. He was traumatized when he was a kid cause he had an accident 'cause his dad was drunk when he was driving."
"After seeing you handle that old go-kart of yours, I got over my fear of driving fast"
"I think we should form a team."
"Erica's right, but what will our name be? Hmm... I KNOW,HOW ABOUT "RED LINE RACING"?!
"Sounds cool."

After a hours of discussing ,they finally decided on their position's
Alex Sanchez-President And Lead Driver
Erica Reyes-Second Driver
Jake Sambrano-Crew Chief
Sophia Aquino-Secretary and Treasurer
Francis Sanchez-Bodyguard

"Ok guys from here on in, our destination is the 24 hours of Nurburging."
All: YEAH!!!

To be continued...

Author's Note
Alex is narrating this. Not me.

Chapter 6.5 - Alex's Pain​

Dear diary,

You might think over the past few weeks you already know who I am.
There's still plenty more for you to know,diary
Before I became a race car driver, I was an unhappy kid. I was chubby, I had no friends, I was always bullied at school and I was always lonely.
And my family didn't help hake it any better.
My grandmother thinks she know everything, my mother's thinks bullying is normal. I was simply miserable and I was loathing everything everyone when I was a kid.
When I met Erica, i thought she would just be friends so she can stab in the back later on (if you know what I mean...)
but I was wrong... She understands my pain... she's always there for me... she's the only person I know who gives a Damn... one time we went up Mt.Makiling
and we kissed in the moonlight.
I knew then she was the one i want to be with for the rest of my life.
But something went wrong...
After graduation she told me she was going to New York to study at Juilliard.
I was shocked to hear the news,she promised that she she'll be with me wherever I would go.
I was mad at the broken promise, but in the end, I said its for the best.
"Don't worry. I'll always be with you..." she said. Then she placed her hand on my chest. "...in your heart."
"Thank's for making my high school a little bit better..",I said
"Same here."

That's all diary.

To be continued...
