✮⋆˙ Euphoria

★ FRIDAY 7th JANUARY ★

AN ELECTRIC HUM lingers beneath my veins, feeling me with an intense feeling of ecstasy. The rush in my chest is exhilarating as my heart beated wild and untamed. My hair whipped around me but I couldn't have a care the world

I was a bird uncaged and unchained. My wings were spread and soared through the racetrack with such speed I was convinced I was flying. My soul was free and was dancing with the stars that sparkled through the midnight sky

A bubbly feeling filled me with a light warm sensation as I held tight to the steering wheel. I let a giggle escape me as I overtook another racer

It was a feeling like no other when your on the track, the adrenaline fuels you and drives you further. Further than you ever thought possible because at the end of the day it is just you and your car, nothing else matters

Your pulse thunders in your ear, time slows and the world sharpens. Every nerve is on fire with that jolt of adrenaline igniting your bones. Its euphoric

Now I was neck and neck with my worst enemy: Kieran Hayes

The bastard drove right next to me, he was so close I could reach out my hand from my window and reach into his own car. His car roared as he accelerated forward using his NOS ( Nitrogen Oxide Boost ), blue flames shot out from his exhaust pipe while he surged forward

Cheeky little fucker

'Breakin Dishes'  by Rihanna started played in my stereo, and of course I turned that shit up as a wicked smile pulled at my lips

That little motherfucker was going to regret do that

My hands found their way to the gear stick and pressed my foot on the clutch as I changed the gear. I slammed my foot down on the accelerator while pressing the button down on my steering wheel to use my own NOS

I was thrown back by the drastic change of speed, my speedometer read 150 mph. The world outside my car blurred as I sped infront of Kieran with a face of petty pride

"Bow down bitch" I grinned with a victorious smile that had made its way onto my face

As the finish line came into view I was more than sure I was winning. Taking a quick glance in my wing mirror to see Kieran closing in on me

"Fuck off Kieran" I shouted as if he could hear me, this fucker wouldn't leave me alone

To throw him off, I pulled infront and blocked any attempts he made to overtake me, however the little shit managed to line his front wheel with my back

The finish line daunted close and Kieran was definitely not giving up

'I'ma fight a man tonight, I'ma fight a man tonight, I'ma fight a man, a man" Rihanna's voice filled my ears as plan formed in my head

I sharply pulled my steering wheel left and lifted my foot of the accelerator, with a light touch of the brakes my car started pivoting on the front wheels

The back wheels span around and Keiran was forced to dart to the side. My hands shifted my gear stick into first as my car was now driving in reverse and Keiran was officially not winning

Still in reverse my back wheels drove over the finish line, I blew a petty kiss to Keiran who by the way looked pissed

Cheers from my victory echoed around while stepped out of my car. People crowded around me and chanted my name in victory

"Crimson, Crimson, Crimson!" They shouted as I moved past them, blowing kisses and mocking bows all directed at the boy who now stepped out of his own car with the frustration practically rolling off of him

The others racers finally crossed the finish line with Drift ( A.K.A Eamon ) in third, Angel ( A.K.A Estelle ) in fourth and the biggest prick himself Cobalt ( A.K.A Derek ) in last

Racers had to use nicknames just incase Gardaí shows up so we can't rat them out, but I know their names anyways

They all individually made their way out of their cars each one looking more defeated than the last. All apart from Angel who looks smug that she beated Cobalt, who look pissed a girl won over him, two girls infact

"Crimson wins again" Drift congratulated while throwing his arm over my shoulder

Me and Drift were always close ever since I joined when I was 14 and he was 15. Now he's 17 and im 16 and he's by far my favourite person in An Rós and he just gets me. Before he realised he fancied Elodie, the girl who starts the race by waving a flag we hooked up a couple of times

But now he constantly rants to me about her, blonde hair that reaches her hips that is streaked with a purple and blue eyes that he describes as seafoam

Drifts a looker as well, strong cheekbones and defined jaw. Full lips and deep set eyes that are framed by dark thick eyebrows that have two slits in the right one. Short, messy light brown hair with the tips dyed a dark blonde that adds to his effortless but edgy appearance

"You know me" I shrug while playing with a peice of my cherry red streaked brunette hair, we both made our way to Oisin to collect my earnings

Each race everyone puts a certain amount of money on each racer, today everyone puts a grand on everyone which makes the total pot 5 grand

And since im the lucky winner I get to have all that money, suck on that bitches

Oision was standing over by the other cars from people who were watching the race "Well done Crimson" Oisin congratulated handing me a wad of cash wrapped in a rubber band

In the corner of my eye I could make out Kieran weaving through the crowd towards me with a scowl on his face

Hah serves him right that prick

"Cute trick you had there Crimson" Kieran gibbed

I snorted "Why thank you, Panther"

He rolled his eyes at me and scoffed "I was being sarcastic"

"Aww" I pouted, feigning puppy eyes "Don't be bitter just because i'm better than you"

From beside me Drift let out a low chuckle, attempting to mask it by burying his mouth in my hair

As if noticing him for the first time, Kierans eyes traveled to Drift who still had his arm around my shoulder

Something flashed in his eyes but before I could determine what it was it was masked with that irritating cool indifference that he always wears

"Please, the last two races I won" He commented and before I could respond Angel waltzed up to us

"Well done Crimson" She congratulated before turning to Kieran, eyeing him up and down "Hey Panther to bad you lost I was prepared to give you a reward" She purred and not so subtly pulled her top down a but to reveal more of her chest

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. God could Angel be anymore desperate?

Don't get me wrong she is a pretty girl, dyed fiery rose pink hair that is always styled to perfection. Sharp but yet sultry eyes with eyeliner adorning them, puffy pink lips that are always pouted disguising her dangerous nature

Me and Angel sort off got on, well I mean we tolerated eachother. I'd catch the dirty looks she shot my way whenever I won or did something she didn't like, but I also gave her some when she flirted with Kieran or played with her hair in that flirtatious way

I don't know why it pissed me off that she flirted with Kieran but I didn't want to think to hard on that

I know he is a sexy guy, that I can admit. With a muscular build, striking tattoos that add to his rebel appearance. Messy tousled hair that looks like he's run his hand through his hair to many times

Fair skin and a few tiny freckles dusting his nose and cheeks, high cheekbones and dark eyebrows that frame his face. Enigmatic and intense dark hazel eyes that are always studying and calculating his next jibe. Downturned full lips that look way too perfect for a man this fine to posses

Tons of tattoos that line his arms and knuckles, snakes wrapped around his biceps, lighting bolts veined down his left shoulder and various others inked his arms. He also had 777 written across his three knuckles which is annoyingly my favourite number

I knew he had some on his torso as well since I saw them from afar when he was at rugby practice, but I wasn't close enough to see what they were though

Not that I was watching, just so happened to see him that's all

"Maybe next time" Kieran said with a smirk that only I can tell is forced. He doesn't like Angel, never has never will

I know this because everytime she is around he throws on this fake smirk and only looks at her for a split second before turning away

Ugh I hate that I know that

"Well Angel I'm always here" Drift winked thowing on a lazy grin

Oh Drift, you shameless flirt

She ignored his comment with a flick of her wrist and threw a cheeky smile to Kieran before turning on her heel and walked off

Drift chuckled "She likes me really"

Kieran lets out a disbelieving scoff at his words and muttered something under his breath that looked something like 'yeah right'

I just laughed at Drift's expense, his ego was definitely hurt and no matter how much he disguised it with his jokes you could clearly see

Once I asked Drift why he constantly flirted with other girls when he only has Elodie on his mind and he told me there all for practice

I think its more than that, he wants to show off to her. Show her that he can be womaniser rather than a pathetic boy since that's all that Elodie calls him. And also because he's scared of her and is terrified of being rejected

"Well we going to the after party?" I ask Drift, then turn to Kieran with a smug smile "Your welcome to come, even though you didn't win"

After every race the An rós hosts a huge after party full of chaos and wonder. Glittering bodies danced to blaring music without a care in the world about anything else

Strip poles were encouraged the drunk to bring out their inner stripper were placed in the center

The underground warehouse pulsed with strobe lights, lighting some places blood red and others electric blue. Graffiti covered walls changed colour to the lights, and vibrated from the deafening music

You lost yourself to the rhythm of the house music being played from the DJ, bodies moving in sync, crowding up the floor

"C'mon drift let's leave this sap to brood over his loss" I called out as we moved towards the lift to go to the lower lower level that lead to these beautifully chaotic parties

As soon as the lift dinged and the door revealed the flashing lights and bodies pressed up against eachother, the music engulfed us and lead us into the lion's den

Now we was officially apart of this euphoric mess and it was my kind of scene
