ENGINE REVS COPYRIGHT ABLE 2016 REFLECTIVE MUSIC THERE ARE TIMES IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF IN VERY AWKWARD SITUATIONS,... I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT THAT FACE, JO. ABBY NEEDS YOU, WE NEED YOU, AND WE'RE WILLING TO PAY. ...AND THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS. BUT I SWEAR, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M SELLING MY KIDNEY OR ANYTHING, ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS PAINFUL. BUT I'M GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING. AND IT'S THE BIG DAY, THE QUALIFYING RACE OF THE INDY 500. SHE TAKES HER POSITION,... THIS IS MY DAD. ...REVS THE MOTOR OF HER STOCK CAR, HOPING... ...TO NOT CRASH AND BURN ON THE LAST LAP OF ADOLESCENCE. OH, THAT'S MY GIRL. DAD BUILT ENGINES FOR RACE CARS, AND SO DID I. IGNORE THE PIGTAILS. I WAS MORE NAIVE BACK THEN. BECAUSE OF HIS WORK, I CHANGED SCHOOLS TWO TIMES A YEAR FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS. THIS DOESN'T MAKE ME A LONER WITH A HIGHLY EVOLVED DEFENCE MECHANISM OR ANYTHING. OK, FINE, IT DOES. ENGINE ROARS TODAY, EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE. IT WAS MY FIRST DAY AT NORTH SHORE HIGH, THE LAST STOP BEFORE CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY, MY DREAM SCHOOL. MY RULES OF SURVIVAL WERE SIMPLE ` DON'T STAND OUT, NEVER RAISE YOUR HAND IN CLASS AND WATCH YOUR BACK AT ALL TIMES. ENGINE REVS NEW TOWN, SAME SCHOOL, SAME PARKING LOT, EVERYONE OBSESSED WITH THE FREEDOM OF THEIR FIRST CAR. IT'S AN IDENTITY, LIKE THE MUSCLE CARS WHO THINK THEY OWN THE ROAD AND CHECK OUT EVERY PASSING VEHICLE, SMART CARS WHO DON'T FIT IN,... COMPUTER DINGS WHOA. ...THE 'I'M SO PERKY I MIGHT SHAKE OFF MY TUBE TOP' CUTESY CARS,... HORN TOOTS ...AND THEN THERE'S THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, THE HIGH-PERFORMANCE, HIGH-MAINTENANCE SPORTS CARS. # LIKE A GIRL CHANGES CLOTHES. IF THEY LIKED YOU, YOUR LIFE WAS ALL GREEN LIGHTS. HI. HI. IF THEY DIDN'T, YOU WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A WRECK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. # THAT YOU'RE NOT GONNA CHANGE, # COS YOU'RE HOT THEN YOU'RE COLD. YOU'RE YES THEN YOU'RE NO. # AT NORTH SHORE, THEY WERE CALLED THE PLASTICS, AND MANDI WEATHERLY WAS THE NUMBER ONE PLASTIC. SHE DOTTED HER NAME WITH A SIGNATURE HEART ABOVE THE 'I', PROBABLY BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T ACTUALLY POSSESS THAT ORGAN. HER TWO SIDEKICKS WERE CHASTITY MEYER, WHO WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO HIT A HOME RUN WITH ANY BOY WILLING TO PLAY, AND HOPE PLOTKIN, UBER-HYPOCHONDRIAC, WHO BELIEVED THAT GERMS LED TO UGLINESS AND UGLINESS LED TO DEATH. AND THUS, MY NUMBER ONE RULE FOR SURVIVAL ` NO GIRL DRAMA ` UGH! ACTUALLY, NO DRAMA, PERIOD. PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T BE RUINED! AND IN HIGH SCHOOL, AN ALREADY EMBARRASSING MOMENT CAN GO FROM BAD...
