I woke up again with someone knocking on my door but this time I was actually already awake and ready 

"Hello" I said to alexis letting her in. 

"Wow you are in a good mood this morning" Alexis said as I was skipping around my room grabbing things and putting them in my backpack. 

"Yes Alexis today is officially the start of my first formula 1 weekend" I said putting my headphones in my backpack and closing it "I know that. I't nice to see you happy" she said as we left the room. 

I was jumping all over the place, I felt so full of energy and just happy to be around. 

We got into the elevator and I could not stand still. 

"Ok I know you are happy but can you stop moving everywhere?" Alexis said as the elevator stoppen on another floor and Esteban Ocon got in. "No can do" I said, still moving everywhere. Esteban looked at me weird and I smiled at him causing him to kind of return the smile. 

We reached the lobby and went to the buffet so I could have some breakfast. 

"What am I eating today?" I asked Alexis as she gave me a plate. 

"papaya" She said putting some papaya on my plate "yogurt" She said putting it on my plate "and granola" She said and smiled at me. 

"that 's it?" I asked her, kind of disappointed "Nop but I need you to finish that first" She said grabbing fruit for her. We sat down at a table and started chatting about life. 

"How is your family?" I asked Alexis "Good good, they moved back to the city" She said smiling. She's from Minneapolis but since the whole George Floyd thing was in Minneapolis her parents were scared something would happen to them since they are black so they moved to a town called Elk River in Minnesota until things calmed down. 

"That's amazing" I said to her after finishing my papaya 

"I know, they were so happy they didn't have to drive everywhere anymore" She said and smiled "That's so great Lex. I love that you're telling me about your family but what else can I grab for breakfast?" I asked her bouncing in my seat. 

"Oh shit right. You can grab 1 pancake, a spoonful of eggs and one hashbrown" She said, making my face light up. 

I loved American breakfast. When I was visiting Gina in Dallas, this kind of stuff was the only thing I ate. 

"I have never fucking loved you more" I told her and ran to the buffet. I came back to the table kind of disappointed. 

"What's wrong?" She asked me when she saw my face "They didn't have hashbrowns" I said sitting down. She laughed at me so hard people started looking at us weird "Stop laughing at me. I really wanted hashbrowns" I said to her putting 

"You're like a little kid man" She said laughing at me "I am 20 years old please stop referring to me as a little kid" I told her 

"Wait omg when was your birthday?" She asked me "18th april. Mick's is 22nd march if you're asking" I told her taking a bite of my pancake 

"Are y'all doing anything?" She asked me 

"I think my parents are flying to saudi with us to go to dinner or something. I don't fucking know" I said and she hummed. I finished my food and we stood up to go to the paddock. 

"Can I drive?" I asked her 

"No, no fucking way. You are reckless and fast when you drive on a race weekend" she told me shaking her head "Please, just today it's my first formula 1 race" I told her and she looked at me when we were in front of the car.
