Chapter 10

"Driving Lessons… Is this really a good idea?" Felix looked up from the pamphlet that Sam had excitedly slapped down onto the picnic table where Jake, Andy, and Felix were eating and waiting for him to join during their lunch break.

"Why wouldn't it be? We're all of age now and I hate asking my brothers to drive me everywhere." Sam sat next to Jake and stole a grape from the teen's lunch getting a halfhearted glare in response.

"It will be fun if we all do it together!" Andy exclaimed, perking up at the idea of learning something new and useful.

"I'm shuddering just thinking of you two behind a wheel of a car." Felix pointed his fork at Jake and Sam who chuckled at the expression the Goth's face.

"Oh come on it won't be that bad." Jake laughed as he plucked the pamphlet from Felix's hands to take a look as well.

~~/~~

"It's that bad, it's that bad." Jake moaned as he stumbled from the car, holding his stomach looking green around the edges.

"I told you so." Felix moaned from where he collapsed on the ground next to where Jake was doubled over.

"How can someone be that horrible at driving?" Jake balanced himself on his knees as he took deep breath's to settle his stomach.

"Come on you guys I wasn't that bad!" Andy pouted as he exited the driver's side, the instructor stumbling away from the car, a hand over his mouth.

"Define bad." Felix peered up at Andy through his dark hair as Sam jogged over to see why two of his friends looked like they were about to throw up.

"Whoa, dudes! Are you okay?" Sam fluttered around Jake and Felix, helping their Fire get his feet back under him.

"Andy is bad Sam, never get in a car with him," Felix warned and Jake nodded his agreement while Andy crossed his arms and stuck his lower lip out in a pout.

"I'm not that bad, I just took a few sharp turns is all and I have no idea how I managed to get it up on its side but it wasn't that horrible!" Andy huffed in his own defense but relaxed when Sam slung an arm over his shoulders.

"On its side, Water dude that takes skill! Color me impressed!" Sam grinned, maybe he should try to get Andy on a skateboard and see what Andy could do.

"Thanks, but I don't think I'm going to get any better and I refuse to fail at driving of all things!" Andy puffed up his chest as determination set in.

"Come on then, you can practice with me! My instructor says I'm a natural!" Sam tugged Andy over to the car he had been using, his instructor looking a bit nervous at seeing Andy but relaxed when Sam started to coach Andy before they even stepped into the car.

"Ready to give this another go?" Felix leaned against the side of the car, looking at Jake who wasn't even looking at the car.

"Not really, I don't think this driving thing is for me actually," Jake said after a moment of thought and Felix tilted his head to the side silently allowing him to speak when ready.

"I mean it's not just the motion sickness from Andy's horrible driving." Jake and Felix chuckled now that nausea had finally passed.

"I mean you saw me, I can drive I just don't see the point right now you know? I can take buses, ride my bike or bum a ride from someone… I just don't want to drive right now I guess…"

"I respect that, not everyone wants to drive or feels comfortable on the road. I mean people are crazy, I would hate to have to drive next to Andy. There is a reason why people have road rage. No offense, but I think you would have bad road rage." Felix joked at the end and laughed as Jake playfully punched the other teen's arm before leaning next to him on the car.

"Thanks, Felix." Jake held his fist up and smiled when Felix bumped his fist with his own.

"So you want in on my lesson or are you going to stay on the solid ground?" Felix asked curiously as the instructor slowly walked over and visibly relaxed when he just saw the two boys and no Andy.

"I think I'll be a bit of a backseat driver this time," Jake said slowly and smiled when Felix flashed him one of his own.

"Alright man, thanks for the support." Felix smiled and the two bumped fists again before Felix slid into the driver seat with Jake firmly seat belted in the back.

A/N: Jake's reasoning behind not wanting to drive is the same as mine so I just wanted one of the boys not to want to have the urge to drive
