Time passed peacefully and Diamond being in a good mood, everyone was happy.
Although her moods were unreadable with her being happy one second and upset the next, the fact that she was smiling now was enough to bring harmony to the group.
At some point, the group ended up leaving their spot to sit elsewhere. Wyatt was going to race first, so they wanted to cheer for him, as well as let Diamond prepare for her race.
It was unfortunate for her to leave before she could hear him speak more. Fortunately, she managed to learn his name; Waylon and it rang nicely in her ears.
She would look into him later now that she knew that Mercy wasn’t his girlfriend.
Once she was on her feet, her focus shifted to Wyatt, as his race mattered more than anything else. And with all the anxiety of watching some dangerous races on the track, Waylon was shortly forgotten.
When Wyatt drove his car into the tracks, she stood there nervously with her hands clasped together.
Mike stood next to her and patted her shoulder seeing how nervous she was and said comfortingly, "he is good at this. He will be fine!" reassuring Diamond.
Diamond nodded at his words, but that didn’t stop her from being nervous.
He won’t be racing with her, but with someone else. To win, people could do anything. What if the other driver hits Wyatt and causes an accident? What would she do?
She didn’t want him to be in danger, but could only watch.
Red ... Amber ... Green.
The traffic lights went green, and the cars flew from the starting point, signifying the beginning of the race.
It was now past five and her race would be in an hour or so. It wasn’t dark yet, thankfully, and that meant that she could be at ease slightly, though she was nervous throughout.
Each race consisted of six consecutive rounds, so there was quite a lot for the spectators to see.
Diamond cheered for Wyatt to ease the anxiety and soon she found herself no longer nervous as Wyatt increased the gap between the competitors. With him winning, she was happier. Her cheers were very loud, making Mike and the others smile relievedly at seeing that.
Wyatt had got this win in his bag, and all she needed to do was welcome him with open arms. That’s exactly what she did moments later when the horn blew and the red car passed the finishing line while the other car was still very far.
"Yeah!" they were cheering all over, celebrating another win for the ZOOM club.
Once again, they managed to win over the Srad club and they were quite happy.
Tonight’s races weren’t about whether you liked that person or not, but whether you supported your city or another. It was as simple as that.
Instead of waiting for Wyatt there, they all rushed to where he was and congratulated them wholeheartedly.
They didn’t return to the stands to watch more races as Diamond planned to get ready for her own race.
After waiting for forty minutes or so, she heard her name being called and knew that it was the moment she had been waiting for.
She wasn’t the only one waiting for that moment as everyone had been eagerly waiting to see this race.
