Kai & Stacey: Where it all Stopped CHAPTER THIRTY-SiX Kai's POV Finally, after a long wait, the race was here. This wasn’t just any race; it was THE RACE. This was the junior championships that most of us had waited for, because this was where all the scouting of all young and promising racers began. The big shots were here, and everyone always brought out their best stunts and all, hoping to land a contract. The locker room was buzzing with pre-race excitement, conversations about what was going on, what bigshot had been spotted and how much everyone looked forward to winning echoed all around me, but my mind was somewhere else. With her. Just days before, she had bubbled up and down, her eyes sparkling with excitement and her joyful smile contagious as she talked about her plans for the race. Since the racing day was here, I had only gotten glimpses of her. I had seen Stacey earlier, stretching by the track, completely in her element. She had her game face on, that razor-sharp

Kai & Stacey: Where it all StartedCHAPTER THIRTY FOURStacey's POVThe first time I saw Kai, he was standing by the row of bikes, the late afternoon sun catching in his thick black hair, making it shine like ink. Even surrounded by other kids that were clamoring to get his attention, he stood out the most, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. He had a lean frame, all wiry muscle, and an effortless confidence that made him stand out among the other campers. His skin was a warm bronze, his cheekbones sharp even for someone so young. His eyes—gray like storm clouds—held a quiet intensity that made me pause.I was used to being one of the only girls at these kinds of camps, so I didn’t expect anyone to acknowledge me right away. But Kai did. He glanced at my bike—a sturdy blue road racer I had practically begged my parents to buy—and then at me."That yours?" he asked, his voice surprisingly deep for a thirteen-year-old.I nodded, gripping the handlebars. "Yeah. It’s not the fastest, b

Beach day CHAPTER THIRTY THREEAlexa"Ah, finally. " I inhaled deeply, taking in a lungful of salty sea air as the warm gentle breeze hit our faces. "We're at the beach. I can't wait to hit the waves." "Same here. It's been a really long time since we came here. " Stacey said, looking out at the sea as I was. "I'm sure we were last here in our first year of high school. " "Yeah, it's really been that long, but maybe for you Stacey. Devon and I have been here already. " I turned away from the sea and stared at my boyfriend. I don't know if he even remembered what I was talking about exactly. True to my words, he glanced at me uncertainly, before reverting his eyes back on the road. "Have we? " He asked, "I don't think I remember being here with you. " "Really? " I crossed my arms, mock pouting. "I thought you would remember since it was the first time you and I shared a kiss. More like, I was the one who kissed you. Looks like I'm the only one who remembers. " Stacey's ey

The glowCHAPTER THIRTY TWOAlexa I couldn't stop smiling. It didn't matter where I was, or what was going on. My constant state of thought was how I was a girlfriend. I had announced the news to Stacey and my mom by showing them the ring Devon had placed on my finger while I was asleep. "Guess who's a girlfriend now? " I said in a singsong way, barely able to contain my joy. "Gee, I wonder who? " Stacey replied sarcastically. "You're practically glowing with 'The Girlfriend Glow'. It's all over you. "I rolled my eyes and turned to my mother. Mom simply smiled, bouncing along with me in excitement. "I'm so happy for you, baby. " After that, the two decided to spoil me with a shopping trip and a congratulatory dinner. Devon, MY BOYFRIEND, was worse, spoiling me to the moon. Every morning before school, I woke up to a something new. Most of it were various bouquets of different colored flowers, red roses on Monday, white tulips on Tuesday, pink lilies on Wednesday and so on, all t
