It’s Not Fast and the Furious Sebastian drove to Odalys house he was playing the radio it was hot97. The song was “Ridin Dirty” by Chamillonare. You can feel the bass vibrating the floor. Then Sebastian called Odalys on his cell phone in his sidekick dos (two). She picked up and said she was taking a shower. She said, “Hold on for a minute. I have to put my clothes and jacket. I will come down stairs.” He said, “OK,” then went to the car el civic ek9 and turned it on. You can hear the power in that motor (TYPE-R). Odalys came out and got into the car. And they went on their way. He asked Odalys about were she wanted to go. Odalys thought, “Oh, there is a new movie coming out today. It’s a scary movie. The people are locked in a house all of them are going to get killed.” He said “OK.” So they went on their way to the movies. Sebastian was speed racing though the city streets switching from third to fourth gear. You can feel the Torque. You can see her face really liking the speed. Then another civic pulled up to the red stop light. Sebastian revved his engine, then the civic revved too. Sebastian looked to see who was in the civic. It was a girl! She blew a kiss she honked the horn three times. Meaning 1, 2, 3 go! ‘’Green.” Then Sebastian took his foot off the clutch and switched the gear like his life depended on it. The girl in the civic was fast too. She kept up with Sebastian. Then he turns on the hazards to signal his victory. Then she lit up her hazard lights meaning she wants to race again. Sebastian wanted to, but the movie theater was on the next block. So Sebastian parked the car in the theater parking lot and locked the doors with his beeper alarm ‘‘beep’’ ‘‘beep.’’ To his surprise the girl with the civic came to the theater as well. Sebastian was shocked the girl was alone; she looked like the movie star Lucy Lu--very sexy with a girly girl racing skirt and… Sebastian bought the movie tickets as the civic girl kept looking at him. Odalys and Sebastian entered the movie called “See No Evil.” As they left the theater after the movie, they went towards his car. Beep. Beep. Inside the car and Sebastian was shocked. He saw the girl with the Honda but she was not alone she was with another car driven by another girl. The car was about a 99-00 Acura Integra Type-R. Both girls revved there engines “vrommmmm” and the girl with the Integra did a burn out. The street was fogged up with tire smoke. Sebastian started to do a burn out and the tires were spinning and spinning. The whole block was filling up with the tire smoke. The only thing you could see was Sebastian’s bright pink hids. So Sebastian drove off to Odalys house. But the two girls were following him, Sebastian told Odalys, “Let’s give them a show. “ He flew through a couple of red lights. But the two girls kept up so then he drove across a cop car. He drove so fast the cops didn’t have time to follow them. The girls were still with him so then he drove to the highway. He was going about a 110mph and the girls were still with him. There was a hard left turn coming up. Sebastian took the turn badly and the car spun around like a toy car. It hit, flipped, and spun around. Odalys died instantly. Sebastian was shocked and hurt pretty bad. He looked at Odalys and started to cry. Later, Sebastian found out it was a drink driver that hit Sebastian’s car. All four cars lit up and burned down. The two unknown girls died as well. EOPLE DIE BECAUSE OF STREET RACES. “I KNOW…

- In September 2, 2001, I met my best friend in grade 8. Her name is Sanchia Rose but her friends called her “Samantha” or “Sam.” She is a Libra and she is born September 29, 1988. She is of light complexion, slim built and she is about 5’ 7” inches. Sanchia lived in Islington Saint Mary, Jamaica. She used to two sisters and a baby brother by her mother and two sisters by her father. Sanchia is the oldest child for both parents; her mother and father separated when she was two years old. My best friend is like the twin sister I never had. My best friend and I talk about everything; when I needed someone to talk to she is always there and she is always giving me good advice. My best friend is tall and thin with long dark brown hair with dark brown eyes and she has a light complexion. She speaks English but her first language is Jamaica Patois so she doesn’t speak proper English. My best friend doesn’t like to spend her money so she always depends on someone to get her what she wants. Her cousin tells her to start working so she can have her own money to buy whatever she wants but especially to pay her school fees so she could go back to school to continue her studying. We all want her stop depending on her parents so she could even rent her own house. It is funny to see how different we are and yet, she is my twin.
