Varsity Rules Chapter Sixteen |
Justin led Emily through the huge doorway and into the party. Viki who was standing among Betty, Danielle and Georgette frowned as she saw them walk in. "I didn't think he really had a girlfriend, let alone bring her here." Viki said putting down her cup. She walked over to the happy couple plastered with a fake smile. "hey I'm so glad you could make it." Viki said smiling but eyeing Emily evilly. "Thanks, Viki this is Emily." Justin said "hi." Emily said shyly. "Well have fun you two." Viki said with a giggled and then she turned around and a scowl overtook her face. She jauntily made her way back to her table of girls. "So?" Betty asked "So she's a snot." Viki said "You're a snot." Danielle said "Well yeah, I don't like her." Viki said angrily "That's because she has Justin and well let's see you don't." Betty smiled "You're a bitch you know that?" Viki said "Why do you think we're friends?" Betty laughed "He would look better with you Viki." Georgette said as she filed her nails. "Thank you." Viki smiled brightly. Justin pulled out Emily's chair for her and she immediately sat down. "Hey Emily, you look nice tonight." Joey said leaning over and taking her hand. he kissed it softly. "Joe, back off she's mine." Justin said slapping Joey's hand away and sitting inbetween the two. "yeah you really do look nice." Lance added from across the round table "Thank you both." She smiled "So anyway, yo Justin are you in the game tonight?" Chris asked pulling up a chair to the table. "What game?" Justin asked leaning over the table. "Come on you know the usual races." Chris said raising his eyebrow slightly. Emily looked down at them frowning. She had no idea of what they were talking about but it wasn't good. "I really shouldn't." Justin said shaking his head. "Oh come on you have your dad's slant 6 no one can beat you." Chris said angrily "Nah man last time I nearly smashed it up." Justin said sitting back in his seat shaking his head. "Look okay I didn't want to have to tell you this but Josh is here and he's entering. Are you in or what?" Chris asked Justin looked at Emily who was looking sternly at him. he turned to Chris and nodded. "Alright!" Chris hooted as he jumped out of his chair to run across the room to the betting table. "Justin." Emily said looking at him. "Yeah Em?" He asked looking back at her "You race cars?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest. "yeah it's this thing the guys and I have accustomed ourselves to doing." Justin said grabbing a cup full of soda. "You're going to race tonight?" She asked tentively. "Yeah, are you angy?" he asked taking a sip of the soda. "No why would I be angry, if you're going to kill yourself racing your father's car. I mean why would I care!" She spat at him. "Emily, you don't understand." Justin said putting down his drink "No I do understand. You're out to make Josh look bad but you're going to kill yourself doing it." She said throwing her napkin down on the table. "Emily!" He cried as she pushed out her chair and stormed across the table. Justin got out of his seat and followed her quickly over to the betting table. "What are you doing?" Justin asked "You wanna make Josh look bad right?" She asked frustrated "yeah." He replied "Well then I'm racing him." She said writing down on a peice of paper. All the guys at the betting table hushed. "You can't." Justin said sternly "I can and I will." She said angrily "No Emily you can't!" Justin yelled "Justin you think you're the only one who can race! Well guess what, your'e not the only one. I am going to race and you can not stop me." She said shoving the paper at the guy who was in charge. "How much to get in on a race. A specific race?" She said "uh fifty, but no broads." He said shoving the paper away. "I ain't no broad!" She said grabbing his shirt collar and lookin into his eyes deadly. "Uh sure, make it twenty five since you are a lady." He stumbled She pulled out a twenty and a five from her purse and slammed it down on the table. "You're race is in one hour against Joshua." the guy said picking up the money. "Right." She said turning to Justin who was astounded at her new found behavior "Emily what are you doing?" he asked following her out of the club. "You're taking me home and I'm picking up my father's car." She said standing next to the car. Justin opened the car and let her in. They pulled up to her garage and she rolled it open. Sitting in the dark was a bright orange jaguar. "It's got boosters and hydro boosters. Shocks also." She said pulilng out the keys to it. "This....is your...dads?" he asked in shock "yeah I did all this. Him and I did it last summer. Kind of like a bonding project." She said shrugging her shoulders. "Emily I really don't think you should do this." Justin said a little scared for her. he didn't want her getting hurt. "look Justin I know how to drive this car. Nothing is going to happen to me." She said reassuringly. "I dunno. I just don't have a good feeling about this." Jusitn said shaking his head. "Trust me." She said kissing his lips. "I do. I don't trust him." He frowned. "Well he's gonna lose badly tonight." She laughed "I hope so. No matter what happens though if anything happens to you Emily I won't forgive myself." "Nothing will happen okay?" "Let's just go before your dad finds us here." Justin said getting back in his car. The two drove side by side back to the country club. Everyone was starting to gather at the long road behind the country club. It ran straight down the property line which was three miles long. |
