“You need to place third or higher and you’ll win the Championship.” Tucker is looking at the official scores. I don’t need him to tell me, though. I know this has been a good season and that my overall wins these past two motos have solidified my position to win. I’ve also been counting every single point I’ve scored each race. He looks over at me. “Do you need new tires?”

“Sure,” I tell him, but my mind is already elsewhere. I’m meeting Poppy at her office in a couple hours, and then we’re heading downtown to the youth center. I want to show Poppy some of my life outside of the race track.

“Hey, Wolfe!” Tucker is looking down at me.

“What?”

“I asked you if you wanted the same type of tires. Didn’t you hear me?” He looks slightly annoyed.

“Ah, yeah, let’s stick with those. They’ll work great at the next moto, it’ll be muddy.”

“Right. You do fine in mud,” he says. “You’ll win. I know you will.”

I smile. “Of course I’ll win. What kind of friend are you, thinking I won’t?” I sling my arm around his neck. “I need a favor, though.”

“A favor?” He’s frowning at me.

“Tell Coach I need the afternoon off. I’ll be back tomorrow.” Tucker’s frown splits into a grin.

“Why don’t you tell him yourself?”

“You know why.” Coach is known to lecture any of his riders that try to skip out on practice early. “I’m meeting Poppy at her office at five. I can’t be late.” I give him my smile usually reserved for the press.

“Sure. I’m glad you’re giving her a chance. She’ll stick around, you’ll see.” He’s still grinning at me with a knowing look. I swallow. He hit the nail on the head. No one except him and his parents have ever stuck around for me.

I grunt. “See you tomorrow, Tucker.”

He waves after me, already starting on my tires.

I pull into the GameRush parking lot only ten minutes early. The office building is one large room with a few glass offices. When I enter the building, I see the Skeeve in his office. I keep walking even when I hear the glass door slide open.

“Poppy,” I say when I make it to her desk. She has headphones on, and she seems engrossed in her work. I look around the frosted desk partition and see that she has the MotoRacer character up on her screen. There are color options for boots, a racing suit, and a helmet displayed on the left and right of the screen. The racer in the middle of the selection looks suspiciously familiar. I lean my elbows over the partition and wait for her to notice me. It’s odd watching someone look at a caricature of yourself. She selects blue gear, tsks, and then takes a bite on her pen cap. Finally, she notices me. Her gasp makes Gina jump, and then they’re both looking at me.

“Good afternoon, Poppy.” I smile down at her and then look over. “Gina.” I nod. “I don’t look good in blue?” I point at Poppy’s screen.
