Bab 6: He's My Cheerleader
Those past days with Johnson and Claude were full of fun, Johnson trained me to the best that he can for I'm fighting at a local racing competition, Im so glad that he's the one who trained me, and now he will get to watch me too.
I told him that, no matter how I trained and be on racing competitions, I didn't get to be on top or atleast on the top 5, mostly I'll end up on 9th or 10th, that's why I can't even blame Dad everytime he nagged or compared me to others, and even pressured me to quit in car racing field.
In a few hours we will be on the field to compete, Johnson came up to me and gave me one of his silver bracelet with a J sign on it, I blushed and smiled at the thought of him doing this, well he's not like this before, so its all new to me.
Johnson talked to me before going out on the racing field, remembering his facial expressions, his lips, the way he stare while he said those words "Remember all of our training", "Claude and I will be watching so kick an ass", "Take Care not to Bump to other, don't lose focus"
The Audiences is Screaming, cheering for their bets, and ofcourse I didn't hear anyone cheering for me, then my name was called everyone seems sileng until I heard a voice.
"Go! Go! Go! Shen!"Johnson cheers me up
I looked and laugh at him.
Then Claude say the same thing, then a few people followed their cheer, they're so funny, and because of them I'm so inspired to do my best to be atleast on the top 5.
We all ride, and in 5 minutes the race will start, I take a deep breathe and looked at the crowd where Johnson and Cloud are standing, I saw them happilly talking with each other, then Johnson seemed to looked at the window of my ride, I think he knew I was looking at him, then I focused with my steering wheel and looked at the field.
Just a few seconds and race will start, the race started unfortunately I didn't drove faster so now I was , on the 10th spot, two infront of me had bump to each other, and just like how Johnson taught me to drift, I did the same, I drifted smoothly, and gorgeously.
Now I'm on the 7th spot aiming for atleast top 5, when suddenly I was bumped by another car, she's doing it intentionally, oh It's Trina one of the well-known female racer, she's obviously wanting me to slow down, so she bumped me again and moved forward, then it was pitstop meant car was refueled, tires are being checked and replaced whenever its needed.
Damn**! but I didn't allowed her to do that to me, so I drove faster and bumped her too, I know she was slowed down, so she must be irritated then I moved forward and now I'm at the 4th the finish line is near, but Trina get to be on my spot, so I'm at 5th, but I don't want her taking my spot so I drove faster.
Then I felt that my break isn't working but there's only one lap left, just a bit more, and now I can see the finish line,I speed up, I can see that I'm not the winner but I'm sure I made it to the top 5, I didn't get to break so I turn to the emergency lane, thankfully they get to stopped it.
**Sigh****
"Are You Okay?What happened?"The Marshal Race said
"Don't worry, I'm fine" I replied
I sit for a while because I'm feeling a bit dizzy,maybe because its my first time, to push this hard, it wasn't like this in our past training, I wonder why Johnson didn't train me harder,then after a few minutes I can see Johnson and Claude walking.
Johnson sit beside me and said "Are you okay Shen?"
"Yeah, just a bit dizzy"I replied
"That's why you shouldn't push so hard, I see you're in emergency lane, problem with breaks?"Johnson said
"Yeah, I think I overdid it"I said
Then I go back with them to get my prize, I treat them in a restaurant, Mom and Dad heard the result of my competition they called and congratulate me.
While the Three of us eating Johnson suddenly said; "Do you know Claude was looking at a woman lately, I think he might want to stay in human world hahah"
Claude glared at Johnson with a warning
"Oh yeah, I'm just kidding, oh these young man" Johnson said
"What about you Johnson?" oh that question just slipped through my mouth..**sigh***
"Maybe" He said
I know it'll ne awkward, but I wanted to ask this for so long, because those past days of training we were just really training, and we didn't get to talk a lot.
"Well anyway, Johnson how was your relationship with her? how many kids you have?I asked
Claude bend his head to lookes at Johnson and make a confused face
Johnson stared with anger at Claude
"Shen, I didn't have anyone, if you're talking about my past girlfriend the day I was missing we already end-up, and even I got teleported in other dimension, I didn't had those commitments you think of me" Johnson said
"I-I'm sorry because you know we're 28th now and a lot of our classmates/friends had their own family"Shen said
"So you want us to be one big happy family?"Johnson asked
then suddenly Claude laughed
" Hey! I don't mean it that way, I said we're 28 and most people in this age had their own family, because I thought you had too you know" Shen said
"Then why does it matter to you if I have or not yet have my own family?" Johnson asked
"I-I don't...Its just because you'r my bestfriend and we haven't got to talked about these matters"Shen said
Then Johnson moved his seat beside Shen
"Wh-what?"Shen faced Johnson
Johnson ignoring Shens question, then he raise an eyebrow to Claude
"Claude, what do you think of Shen and I?, do you think we looked like Best Friends?" Johnson asked
"Maybe" Claude answered
"Do you think we looked good together?" Johnson asked
"Definitely Bro" Claude said
Johnson turned his face to Shen then pinch her cheeks
"Johnson don't do that to me, were too old for that ugh.."Shen said
"See Johnson you're too old" Claude said
"No we're not, Shen doesn't have a boyfriend nor a husband, so I think we're not too old for this" Johnson said
"Will you be my Girlfriend Shen?"Johnson said
Johnson turned his face to look at me, with those sincere eyes
"W-what?" I asked
Though its the words that I'm waiting from him, wayback, I still don't understand why only now, so I ignored what's he's asking, and continued eating.
"I know that you waited for me, and find me for all of those past years that I'm not here, then I just later realized, that it should have been you, the person that I should had been with before, but I know relationship can break friendships before that's what I believe in, I just don't wanna lose you that way, because you're so special to me"
Ofcourse, I can't say anything for now, its not that I don't want him, but I can't give an answer now.
"Okay I won't force you, don't worry, I can wait" Johnson said
Then he moved his seat to its original place, and we all eat in silence, while Johnson and Claude curiously looking watching me, so I just didn't look at them.
As we all part ways, and I was on my room, I was thinking of things, what if I answered him that moment?, would he really not go back with Claude in other dimension? I just didn't answer him right away because I don't want to be left out, you know? that feeling of when you're so in love but the person you love will have to leave.
I liked him and he likes me, but what if his stay in here is just temporary?.Ugh...its really hard to decide.
