Chapter 9 - The Game Of Life

"Get out of the way you bum!!" the taxi driver said, with his hands out of the car flinging his pointer finger. 

"Sorry, sorry," Ash said, forcing his feet and knee to push harder on the petals.

I can't lose, I can't lose Ash said over and over. Knowing that he probably would lose.

His bike was wailing down the road and streets passing pedestrians left and right. Breaking on thin ice. Sometimes he thought he would die sometimes he thought he was flying and other times he was hoping no police officer would see him. 

The streets were crowded, the sun was at its all-time high, and many people were leaving their jobs, ready to go home, which led to heavy crowds during rush hour.

'Almost there' Ash thought. 

'All I have to do is take a left and a right and will I be there'. After taking the right turn he could see in front of him the pizza place called, Jetts Blazed.

It was a famous place known for its very thin-crust pizza and how you can customize it to your liking. And there great deal, Five dollars for five pieces.

Ash looked at the pizza joint housed next to other restaurants and shops. It was less crowded than he thought it would be. Usually, there was a line.

What Ash saw next brought great disappointment. Aurora was already at the door of the Pizza joint waiting. 

"So it seems you beat me again," Ash said looking at Aurora smiling.

"Yeah you were close though," Aurora said with a grin knowing she had won fair and square.

"Now where is that bum? Is he here too?" Ash said looking a little annoyed.

"Naa you beat him"

"Really that's surprising I took the long path I was trying something new, I thought I could still beat him that way" 

"Yeah he did go the faster path, but it seems that he got stuck or something. Let's just wait or do you want to start ordering?"

"Why wait for a looser? We won so we should eat" he said moving his bike to a bike stand and locking it.

After six minutes. Jordan opened the door of the restaurant to see his friends already eating.

"At least you could have waited!!" Jordan sprinted to their usual spot.

They always sat by the corner where they could see outside of the window they liked the view. But mostly they were watching their bikes. 

"Wait you guys got my order..." Jordan could not wait and sat. On his right was Ash and in front of him was Aroura"

"It was Aurora's Idea, I said you could wait but she said you would be too mad and get all grumpy, so thank me," Ash said with a large smirk while chopping down his second pizza.

"Thank you, Aurora your the best your best at everything you can do anything" Full-out prazing could be heard down Ash's ear it pissed him off.

"Okay Jordan, thanks," Aroura said not even looking at Jordan eating her pizza, taking small bits at a time.

As Jordan took his first bite. Jordan's face turned cold. Just as cold as the pizza.

"Ha ha ha, that was my idea I told you I ordered the pizza for you… first" Ash took a large bite staring at Jordan with a large smile with a fist-size bite all happy. 

'That's what you get for doing that to me last time' Ash said happy and all up to the mood. 

"Thanks…Ash" Jordan said eating his pizza a little less enthusiastic.

"So Jordan what took you so long?" Aurora asks a little curious.

"Well Aurora, Right when we all went our own paths, it all started with this old man…and this guy named Richy..."
