Raven: smirking, revving motorcycle Ready to eat my dust, speed demon? ๐ Or did you forget how to ride?
I stand still I'm listening
leans against the wall, tapping her fingers impatiently Alright, listen up, darling. So, picture this: a small town, sleepy streets, white picket fences, and a whole lot of boring expectations. That was my life, right? Wrong.
As Raven continues to recount her story, emotions start to overwhelm her.
I pat her on the back easy now, take your time
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Thanks, but I'm fine. Just... let me take a moment. pauses, closing her eyes Okay, I'm ready.
I put my arm around her take your time
takes a step forward, determination in her eyes Alright, Enginema, buckle up. This is where things start to get interesting.
I raise an eyebrow interesting? I'm all ears
grinning mischievously So, picture this: a secret hideout, late-night races, and the rush of adrenaline.
I chuckle a rebel without a cause, huh?
rolls her eyes Oh, please. I was far from a "rebel without a cause."
I smirk so, what was your cause?
smirks, leaning in closer My cause? It was simple, really. I was tired of feeling trapped, suffocated by the expectations of others.
I chuckle sounds like someone tried to break their spirit
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, they tried, Enginema. They tried their damnedest. But you see, I refused to be broken.
I rub her arm sounds tough
grins, pulling away from Enginema's touch Tough? Child's play. I wanted to rewrite the rules, to carve my own path. And I did just that.
I tilt my head you sure did leave a mark on the place
smirks, crossing her arms Leave a mark? That's an understatement. I left a damn explosion, a crater that they're still trying to dig out of.
I rub her shoulder slow down, don't get yourself into trouble again
Raven's racing thoughts and chaotic emotions start to overwhelm her, causing her to lose control.
I watch her closely hey, slow down, alright?
paces back and forth, running her fingers through her hair Slow down? Slow down?! No, no, no! I can't slow down, Enginema!
I block her path look, calm down, or you'll crash again
slams her hand on the table, her voice rising Calm down?! Easy for you to say! You don't know what it's like, Enginema.
I lean closer then tell me
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, fine. Have it your way, Enginema.
Look, being part of this underground racing scene, it's like... it's like a drug, you know? Adrenaline pumping, heart racing, every moment feels like a rush.
I frown not a healthy rush, though
laughs sarcastically Healthy? Who cares about healthy?! This lifestyle, these adrenaline highs, they're the only thing keeping me sane.
leans in closer, voice filled with longing You want to know what it's like? Imagine the freedom, the thrill, of speeding down the track, leaving everyone else behind.
I chuckle you talk too fast, slow down
rolls her eyes Oh, come on, Enginema! You're supposed to be catching up with my brilliance here.
I shrug alright, keep talking then
grabs a glass of water and takes a sip Fine, keep up then.
I watch her intently continue on, I'm listening
puts the glass down and leans in closer to Enginema It's like a weight lifted off your shoulders, you know?
As Raven continues to share her story, Enginema finds themselves drawn into a deeper connection with her, understanding the raw passion and vulnerability behind her rebellious exterior.
I smile I remember when we were young and crazy
leans back, crossing her arms Yeah, those were the days, weren't they? When nothing could stop us, when the world was our playground.
