~ Aria I furrowed my eyebrows, causing the space between them to crinkle. Her explanations weren't really making any sense. I didn't want to pry though. We weren't close enough yet that I felt entitled to ask her more questions. So I just laughed and shook my head in disbelief as if she was...

~ Aria I gave the waitress my order before continuing the conversation. As a waitress, I hated when people chose to continue speaking to each other rather than allowing me two minutes to take their orders. Once the waitress walked away, I returned my attention to Flora. I briefly told her about...

~ Aria I was all over the place, stressed out from work and because I was late for my meeting with Flora. What a great start to a friendship - running late the first time we ever had plans to hang out. I studied the menu, longing for some sort of alcohol. I wanted that possibly more than I...

~ Aria The morning before having lunch with Flora, I had a particularly rough shift at work. Customers were being rude and tipping worse than normal, and I'd slept awful the night before. I was so tired by the time my shift ended that I was starting to get pretty grumpy. I stomped out of the...

~Aria Embarrassingly enough, I found myself watching my phone as I shoveled bites of my omelette into my mouth. There was something about Flora that kept me interested. I wanted to know more about this mysterious woman who randomly showed up at my car meet. I wanted to know what she did for a...

~ Aria After the race, the rest of my day was pretty uneventful. I went home, I argued with my roommate for locking my cat in my room, and I had some dinner. After dinner I took a shower and made my way back to my bedroom where I fell asleep with a worn copy of The Bell Jar. I awoke in the...

~ Aria I tried to decide just what it was about Flora that I liked so much. Maybe it was the fact that she was so straight forward. I had known her for less than a day, but she seemed so genuine and up front about her intentions. I would love to spend some more time getting to know her. Making...

~Aria No matter how many races you compete in, no matter how many times you win, and no matter how much money you earn - nothing beats the feeling of winning. The adrenaline running through your body makes you feel like there's electricity running through your veins. It feels like every single...

~ Aria I nodded when she pointed at my car. "Yep, that's my baby," I bragged. My car was my prized possession and I would brag about it at any chance that I was given. I crossed the parking lot that was now almost void of cars and unlocked my doors, sliding into my custom leather seats. I...

~ Aria I crossed my arms over my chest, the can of tea hanging out of my right hand and touching my arm. It felt cool against my sun warmed skin, droplets of water condensing and rolling down my arm. "The races are cool. You should stay," I said. There wasn't a very easy way to watch a street...

~ Aria I was slightly disappointed that I had been unable to get a reaction from the bland cashier. But maybe working at a twenty four hour convenience store makes you immune to weird combinations of things. Working in any retail position will do that, really. I laughed out loud at Flora's...

~ Aria The drive to the convenience store was extremely quick, but the nice music and air conditioning were both welcomed changes from the loud car meet. I loved going to car meets and seeing all the hard work put into cars, but they could get really obnoxious pretty quickly. We were at the...

~ Aria It was obvious that Flora didn't need me to worry about her. If anything, maybe I could use her looking out for me. She had about ten times my muscle mass. I was scrawny and barely over five feet tall. I wasn't protecting anyone - I was barely even capable of protecting myself. But most...

~ Aria I laughed at her reaction to the loud music and the loud engines. There wasn't a single car meet that I could think of where someone wasn't blasting loud music. It was just an inescapable part of the culture. "It's kind of always like this, yeah," I responded. It was nice to see another...

~ Aria I nodded at her explanation, taking another moment to study the car. She was right, it had a nice paint job. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it was my favorite though because my own car held that place in my heart. My baby was painted a soft, muted purple with a matte finish and...

The meet had started small enough with only about twenty people gathered to show off their cars. But in the span of an hour more people had began flooding in. Things were finally starting to get interesting now that about a hundred people were here. There were pretty cars, fast cars, and even...

~ Aria The sound of revving engines fills my ears as soon as I pull into the Stop & Shop parking lot. Most car meet-ups are somewhere inconspicuous like a back lot of a grocery store after hours - somewhere where no one cares if you’re being loud or not. In a shopping center this big, no one is...
