Racers Edge 2
#2 of RacersEdge
The night went by slowly. Kar sat by the window watching his fox, waiting for him to move or open his eyes. He was soon told that he had to leave because visiting hours were over. Reluctantly, he walked away from the window hoping that the next day would bring good news.
The next day come quickly. Kar walked in to his classroom after he had finished his lunch, already full of the PM session students. The talkative class quickly quieted down. "Today we are starting a new project. Yesterday, my boyfriend Jake was in a car wreck. The R32 was totaled." Te class gowns, know thing that the two cars meant every thing to there teacher, "I was thinking about using the car to practice some different section in the book. Each day will be a different section. The sections will be as fallows: bodywork, paint, engine modification, interior design, metal work, engine rebuilding, brakes, lighting, and audio. I will be dumping as much money as I can in to this project. The car is out in the shop at the moment. If you would fallow me I will show you want we have to work with."
The class got out of there seats and fallowed there teacher out in to the shop. The R32 was in poor shape. All the windows were broken, the tires were flat, the paint was wasted, there was some blood on the drivers seat, and the roll cage was bent in on the drivers side. The car needed major work. The motor barely ran and when it did it was only running on 3 of the 6 cylinders.
"I will be breaking you guys up in to groups and each day you will rotate. The AM and MID sessions will be working on the same things. Today I want you guys to each come up with a plan on what you would do with the car. How would you paint it? How would you mod the motor? It will count as a essay grade so good grammar and spelling will count.
For the remainder of the class the students wrote there plan and handed it in when the bell rang. Kar looked though the papers and graded them. After an hour of grading, he picked up a paper that caught his eye. The paper was well done. The car would have 450 HP, with a list of different parts. As for the paint, it would be blue with a red top, two tone style. It would have a gray strip on the side with a wolf on the side of the car towards the rear. Looking at the time, he gathered up the rest of the papers and walked out to his car. He drove to the hospital and found the room that Jake was in. He was granted entry to the room and he walked over to the bed. He sat next to Jake and softly brushed Jakes cheek. "Please wake up soon..."
Kar started to cry, his head resting on the bed. "Please wake up Jake."
"Don't cry." a voice said. Kar looked up and looked at Jake who had woke up and was softly grinning.
"Jake? When did you wake up?"
"About 3 hours ago. The doctor came in and checked up on me. He told me what happened. After that I fell back asleep and then I was awoken by you."
"I want to hug you so bad but I don't know if it will hurt you."
"A hug might hurt but I know of something else."
"Are you crazy? I'm not doing that here!"
"Not that you pervert." Jake reached up and dragged Kar in for a kiss.
After the kiss broke, Kar looked at Jake, "I see what you meant now." The two laughed about it. The two started to talk about what would happen and if it was all covered by there insurance.
"What about the R32? Where did they take it?"
"Don't worry about the car. You need to worry about your self right now. I have the car all under control.
"Fine... I am hoping that I will get out of here soon."
"I hope you get out soon as well. I hate seeing you stuck in here,"
It wasn't for another week that Jake finally got to go home. The insurance would cover everything but the car still needed major work. A lot had been done over the week. The body was back in shape, and the motor was running again. The only things really left to do were paint, lighting and sound, wheels and tires, and interior work.
Back at home, Jake was stuck in bed for a few more days as his leg healed. Lucky for him thought he could work from home and still get some stuff done around the house.
Kar soon got home, but Jake noticed something different. Kar had a different smell to him. Kind of like paint.
"Whats that smell? Is that paint?"
"Maybe."
"What would you be painting at work? I thought your classes were on breaks right now."
"They were. But I talked with the school and they let me start a ‘new project'."
"Are you having the class fix the R32? Why?"
"I wanted to surprise you but I guess that wont be happening."
"But why are you having the class fix it?"
"I thought I would use it as a project to teach the classes different parts of the book."
"I guess that works. What are you planning on doing to it?"
"I have an idea. You will just have to wait and see what happens."
The rest of the day seemed to go by slow after Kar got home. With Kar's help, Jake made his way down to the living room. Kar tried his best to cook dinner, but he wasn't really good at cooking. Lucky for him all he had to do was make Posta and sauce. Something he knew how to do very well. Unlike Jake though, that was all he really knew how to cook.
After finishing cooking the meal, he took 2 plates of food out to the living room where Jake was.
"I got a letter in the mail today." Jake said, taking a bite of the food.
"A letter?"
"I think it might be something you would like."
"Well? What is it?"
"Take a look." Jake hands over the letter.
Kar starts to read the letter. "I have been invited to appear on the show Pinks?"
"Yep. I applied on there website a few months ago. Do you want to run?"
"I think it would be fun, but I don't think that I am ready to risk the golf yet..." after a long pause Kar spoke again. "Lets do it."
