Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 226

“Let’s go, Juniper.” Kurt grabbed two helmets, his usual laid-back demeanor replaced by a look of intense focus. He had to train seriously, to break into the top five. Otherwise...

Kurt glanced back at Ghoul’s empty shell of a body and shook his head. If he lost the race, the guy might actually lose his mind.

“Alright.” Juniper gave a slight smile, took the helmet, and settled into the passenger seat. “Follow what I taught you yesterday. One lap.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Kurt straightened his back. As he was about to start the car, he caught sight of the man in lane one out of the corner of his eye. “Juniper, it’s Melvin!”

Kurt’s heart hammered against his ribs, his palms slick with sweat. Damn it. That was the three-time champion! Besides J, Melvin was the racer he admired most. Training alongside him was nerve-wracking.

It was a shame, though. The guy had Orient Country blood but chose to help those dogs bully them…

“So what about him?” Juniper fastened her seatbelt, her voice cool and languid. “Get ready. We launch in three seconds.”

To her, he was just some irrelevant stray.

“Right.” Kurt wiped his sweaty palms on his pants and added cautiously, “Juniper, Melvin’s driving style is pretty aggressive. We should probably keep our distance.”

Juniper shot him a disdainful look.

Three seconds later, Kurt focused and slammed on the gas. The sports car shot out from the starting line like a bullet. Melvin launched at the exact same moment. Initially, their speeds were matched, but Kurt knew this was just Melvin’s strategy. The second half of the race was where he truly dominated.

“More gas,” Juniper commanded from the passenger seat, arms crossed as she stared ahead. “Stay right. Keep it steady.”

Kurt gripped the steering wheel, his nerves shot. He was terrified of making yesterday’s mistakes and getting his head bashed in by Juniper.
