Secret's Out

Senna Hamilton had recently developed a certain crush on McLaren's golden boy, of course she was never going to admit it out loud, so it was a secret from everyone, even her best friend, Mike.

Although Senna was characterized by that brave character and having no fear of anything, it was almost impossible to approach Lando.

Don't get it wrong, it's not because of shame or fear of rejection, but the boy was a driver just like her and her father, if something happened between them, Lewis would find out almost instantly, it was practically forbidden.

That was the only thing stopping Senna Hamilton from talking directly to Lando Norris.

She needed to formulate a plan to get closer to him, and she couldn't do it alone. There was an important factor.

"Why have I seen you stalking on Lando lately?"Mike's voice interrupted her, making her look away from said boy. "Don't tell me you like him." He added mockingly.

Senna groaned. "How do you dare to say that, Mike?" She shook his head and rolled her eyes. "It is just that..." No excuse came to her mind.

"It's just what?" He crossed his arms, still looking at her mockingly.

Think fast, think fast.

But nothing came to her mind. "Okay, I accept it, Lando caught my eye." She gave up and put her pride aside.

Mike raised an eyebrow. "Does he just catch your eye?" He asked. "'Cause the way you look at him says something else."

Senna rolled her eyes again. "Fine, I may have a slight crush on him." She confessed and her friend's smile couldn't compare to anything.

"And why haven't you approached him?" He asked sitting next to her. They were at one of the many food stalls in the paddock, but luckily there weren't many people there. "I mean, I don't think he'll resist you much." He paused. "Besides, the Senna I know isn't afraid to be that daring."

"It's not that, Mike, if it was up to me I would have already spoken to him." She was interrupted by the curly headed one.

"If it was up to you, you would have already covered him with kisses." He joked.

The brunette one gave him a dirty look. "Haha very funny." She cleared her throat. "But returning to the subject, if it was for me, I would have gotten close by now, but do you know what my dad would do if that happened?" Mike nodded no. "He would send me directly home and he would not let me return, he is capable of locking me in my room if necessary, and not to mention poor Lando."

"But I've never seen him get like that with the other guys coming up to you"

"Yeah, well, Lando is a driver, he says that 'he sees himself reflected in him when he was young', so he would consider it inappropriate." Senna answered.

Mike seemed to think about something. "We have to put together a plan so you can get close without Lewis noticing."

Senna let out a sarcastic laugh. "And how do you plan to do so?"

The alarm that indicated that it was 9:30 at night interrupted them. They had to go to their hotel to rest and be ready for the next day.

"I'll think about it tonight." The youngest said. "You stay calm, I will come with a plan so brilliant you're not going to believe it." They got up and walked towards the paddock exit, but not before bumping into four other drivers. Lewis, George, Lando and Charles.

"Senna." Her father called. "You can go ahead, I have to talk to my daughter." He spoke to the three young drivers. Lewis took his daughter's arm and pulled her away a little. "Have you heard about the new offers?"

She shook her head. "Still nothing."

The older man's face tensed. "Well, tomorrow we'll talk to Krack." Senna nodded and their conversation ended, Senna and Mike continued walking.

"Good night, guys." She said when she passed by the three drivers who were with her father before.

"Rest well, Sen." George replied.

Lando only responded with a smile and Charles in a disinterested tone. He just wanted to get some sleep.

Once the two friends arrived at the hotel, they said goodbye. "Operation 'Avoiding Lewis' has begun." Mike spoke with a smile. Senna chuckled. "Sleep well, Cupid, tomorrow we have to put together a plan." He winked and began to walk to his room.

"Rest well, Mike."

"Sweet dreams."

The next morning, Senna was heading towards the hotel restaurant while doing her hair. She was anxious to hear her best friend's plan.

"Seeeen." Mike said in a singing tone. "I know how you are going to charm your guy."

"Good morning to you too, Mike." She responded mockingly.

The two walked choosing their breakfast. The hotel restaurant was worthy of an American movie. "I have the best plan in the world."

"I'm listening." The youngest Hamilton spoke sitting at one of the tables.

"Well, the plan is..." He began to tell while Senna ate.

After a few minutes listening to her friend, she spoke. "That is the worst plan I've ever heard in my entire life." She answered after several minutes listening to Mike.

"What?! Why?!" He asked looking offended.

Senna looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Which part of 'You make a fake Instagram account, you follow him, he follows you, then you become friends, you make him fall in love, you meet one day, you arrive and you confess that you like him and you didn't know how to approach him and that's why you catfished him' sounds like a good plan?" She asked mockingly.

"If you put it that way, it is a shitty plan." Mike added. "Did you think of something else?" Hamilton shook her head. "The moment I touched my bed, I fell fast asleep." She confessed. "But I will come with a plan today."

"You better come with a better plan than mine tomorrow morning."

On the other hand, three boys calmly entered the restaurant, earning the gaze of some people, including Senna Hamilton.

"Your beloved just entered the room." Mike mocked.

"I have a feeling that one day you'll make a comment like that when he's around." Senna spoke still looking at George, Lando and Charles.

"Why would Lando be around us?"

Senna looked at him in disbelief. "Maybe because he is your teammate?"

"Sen." George's voice brought them out of their conversation. "Mike." He greeted when he saw the youngest one. They only greeted as they passed by where the two younger ones were.

"What's up, guys?" Senna greeted with a smile
to them.

Lando handed it back. "I'm alright, you?"

"Excellent." She smiled. "Well, I hope you have an excellent day." Senna got up when she saw the time. She had promised to get to the paddock earlier. "See you guys."

"Likewise." Charles answered. The three of them watched the two young drivers get out of the
restaurant and go to the lobby.

"Didn't you find it strange that Senna smiled so happy at us?" A confused Lando asked.

"Why would it be strange?" George looked at him questioningly.

The Monegasque decided to enter the conversation. "Senna has never smiled at us like that, she barely greeted us in the past." He said. "Besides, it's not like she and I get along very much."

George shrugged. "Maybe she's in a good mood, who knows." He paused. "Besides, she always greets me effusively."

"Maybe it's because you're her father's teammate." The McLaren driver spoke. "She's always with Mike or with her father, it's not like we talk much."

"I don't know guys, maybe she wants to make more friends in the paddock." The Mercedes driver shrugged, not giving more importance to the situation.
