Previously:
“Your welcome. No go get ready so we can go get your license.” Mom says.

I hurry upstairs to tell Kenza and Alice what’s going on and to get ready to go.

Now:
Kenza and Alice were excited when I told them the news. I was very excited too because it means we could go see Puck and stay as long as we want. We all immediately got ready to leave. They wanted to come along and help Mom and Dad pick out a good car.

It didn’t take long to get to the BMV. The five of us all went inside. Kenza , Alice, and I waited in the waiting area while Mom and Dad set up the test for me.

It took them a few minutes to get everything set up. As soon as they finished getting everything ready they came over to us where we were sitting in the waiting area. They said I had to wait for around 20 minutes and then they all left me to wait my turn while they went car shopping.

While I was sitting in this very hard, very uncomfortable chair I started to think about how different my life is now then it was in the coma. A lot of things were the same but many were different. There’s good and bad things in both real life and the coma life. The coma wasn’t like some perfect life that I wish I could live in, there were some bad things and hard times, like my parents dying. Sure I would love to live that life but real life is also pretty good, the coma was fake. Although I really wish that things were the same for me and my friends. Like us living near each other and not having things to worry about like if our parents would let us go find the others and hospitals and places to live.

I also thought about calling Puck to tell him what was happening but I didn’t think there would be enough time to talk to him so I decided to call him when I got back home.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh9dQh2iNw
I was so lost in my thoughts that I almost didn’t hear my name being called. I got up and walked to the counter where some lady called my name from.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxzcdn6gvN
“Luke Greene?” She asks, I’m guessing to make sure I’m the person she’s looking for.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cVpuX6e2D
“That’s me.” I reply.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKGlJbz3E8
“You’re here to take a driving test, correct?” She asks.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZn0MVffOa
“Correct.”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCXQkt3XQP
“Good. It looks like your parents already signed everything that needed to be filled out so you are ready to take the test. Are you ready to go?”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMFPg6mtaC
“Yep.” I reply. I’m super excited but I tried to keep it cool. I didn’t need some lady asking why I was so excited or making some stupid assumption like I was excited to finally drive a car.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVkiLm3nuK
“Okay. Go get in your car and get it started. Don’t move the car. An instructor will be out momentarily to start your test.” She sounded so monotone saying that. She must say it a million times day.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmNHOOHLuY
I go and do as she says. It doesn’t take long for the instructor to come. This time it was a guy. He didn’t get in right away. He asked me to do somethings so he could check things like the lights and the horn. Then he got in and told me the rules and what all I would do for the test.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9paBPeJU3B
The first thing I had to do was what they call maneuverability which was basically parallel parking but with cones. This was the part I was worried about, I passed it easily though, straight in and straight out in less than a minute. It was actually pretty simple.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzyFeojkH2
Next was the road part of the test. I figured this would be easy since I have been driving since I was 14, even though I was in a coma for two years I still knew how to drive. The instructor only talked and told me when to turn and which way. He basically took me around the block. It was super easy and I passed without any points being taken off.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKjN56aV8G
When we got back to the BMV he handed me some papers and told me I could go get my license. I did just that. All I had to do was answer a few questions and then they had to take my picture and I was done.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSF0PknNR
I was so happy that I got my license finally, even though I had been driving already it felt good to be able to drive legally and not have to worry about getting pulled over and it also meant I could go to Puck and hopefully the three of us can find Aviana since we know barely anything about her in real life.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHv8JKxzFm
Mom, Dad, Alice, and Kenza still weren’t back from the dealership so I called Mom to see how much longer they thought they were gunna be.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUnOD0b4qt
“Hello?” She answered right away.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPGVI74bOv
“Hey, Mom. How long you think you guys are gunna be?” I ask, I didn’t bother to tell her I passed it was pretty obvious I was going to pass.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG14pVqlHZ
“Did you pass?” She asks, completely ignoring my question.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmoRvMaPoG
“Of course I passed. Was there any doubt?” I ask with a light laugh.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ymv8NsXe
“No. There wasn’t.” She says laughing too. “We’re still looking. We haven’t found anything good yet. You can walk down here so you can help look. Just leave the car there, there’s no need to bring it here. Once you get a car you could just drop us off back at our car.” I was hoping they would almost be done by now. I guess my test wasn’t very long though.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrlkqQT3kn
“Okay, I’ll be there soon then.” I inform as I began the walk there.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmz5cPdxkQ
I hear voices talking on the other end but I can’t hear it clearly so I have no clue who’s talking or about what. “Luke?” Mom asks. “You still there?”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGFZ8kM99C
“Yes Mom.”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbTx5DOYKC
“Kenza said she would walk to meet up with you half way. So look for her.”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJxtEb5i8E
“Kay. See you soon.”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrWemG1s0k
“Bye Luke.” She says and I hang up.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARVh7Ylygq
I had walked almost five minutes before I even saw Kenza. I guess the car shop was farther away than we first thought.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZldg6Gmr08
When we were close enough to hear each other talk Kenza just about screamed “CONGRATULATIONS LUKEY!”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhFLHoxQqa
“Thanks. An you know only Alice can call me that.” I say laughing.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWUtlZ4Gno
“Awee doesn’t Lukey like his nickname?” She teases back. Now we were just standing on the sidewalk talking. We had meet up and completely stopped walking.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8PLX8k8Dh
“Shut up.” I say while continuing to laugh.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TLJhu5iqK
“Was it easy?” She asks once we stop laughing.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU34MG6ry9g
“The test?” She nods. “Yeah. It could also be because I’ve been driving since I was 14 or something.”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48qmsHPdPk
“Oh yeah I guess that makes sense.” She reasons.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5mBvk8MZR
“We should probably start walking back now and help them choose.” I say. It was nice having time alone with Kenza but we needed to get back to make sure they got a good car.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB9mNFqzSj
“Yeah, I guess so.” She agrees. There was a hint of disappointment on her face but it instantly went away when I randomly grabbed her hand while we were walking. I don’t know why I did but it felt like I should so I did. I really like the feeling of holding hands with her, it made my stomach feel all light and it made Kenza feel better which made me happy. I had a smile on my face and upon a glance over at Kenza I could see that she did too.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVEOuJq1F6
We didn’t talk much while we walked. Just enjoyed each others company. Sometime along the way one of us moved our hands to where our fingers were laced together instead of just holding hands.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7lFS81OyN
When we were almost to the car dealership I remembered I hadn’t told Puck what all was happening. I stopped in my tracks causing Kenza to also stop. “What is it Luke?” She asked, sounding a little confused.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9GQ2U961k
“I forgot I haven’t told Puck what was going on yet. I only called him this morning to tell him that we were trying to come today.” I tell her.
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2bcFh5XW9
“Oh. Thats okay. You can just call him when we get home.”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPnPK8wywd
“I guess you’re right.”
820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZlEQIbN6c
“Yeah I am. I’m always right.” She says laughing that cute laugh of hers again. “Now we should get in there and help pick out a car.” And with that we walk into the car lot, still holding hands, looking for my family.
