I HURRIEDLY opened the door and barged in, I had already prepared my things i just needed to pack them, my dad's 2020 Nissan was parked in the garage, how was I going to drive it out? I couldn't even drive a straight line due to nervousness how was I supposed to reverse?.
For a minute I thought about taking a bus, I should take a bus it would be easier.
No!! I yelled to myself you can do this, if there's anytime to get over your fear it's now, Now!!.
So I asked the internet and spent the next five minutes watching YouTube videos on how to reverse a car.
You've got this I said and hit my chest. It hurt.
After sitting on the driver's sit for another five minutes staring at an empty paint rubber I finally crossed my sit belt, placed the car in reverse and drove out, I hit our trash can on the way out.
it was finally done, I reversed the vehicle all by myself. I feel so fulfilled, I thought as I got down to arrange the trash can I knocked over.
I went back in the house and brought my small bag, I tossed it in the passengers sit. I was gonna spend the night at Charlie's after the party then start coming the next morning because Lord knows I wouldn't be able to drive at night.
After driving for about a minute I couldn't get over the feeling of how grown I was, look at me, driving on my own, going to an event.
I giggled. I felt important, like Mrs Peterson, Driving around in an AC car.
***.
I saw it all, I saw her ridiculous attempt to reverse a car, where was she going in such an hurry?, in all my days of knowing this little fragile lady I have never seen her drive a vehicle, she either rides her bike or rides with me, what's going on? this only made me ask more questions.
I had already gone home to take my mom's old car it was a 2005 Kia, it had always been hidden in our house, covered up, hardly used. I couldn't let her recognize my car, the weird girl probably has all my plate numbers memorized.
She finally drove out of the garage after what felt like eternity, and she knocked over a trash can, it was like watching a toddler ride a bike with training wheels for the first time.
My suspicions slowly turned to worry, if she couldn't drive all that well what was she doing with a car in the first place does her parents know she's taking their car.
She came out and tried arranging the garbage can, them went back in coming out with a bag almost as soon as she went in.
A bag? what was in it? was she running away from home?.No she wouldn't do that she was to goody two shoes to pull that kind of stunt.
She started her engine and I followed her slowly behind, it's not like I had a choice to drive fast, she was driving with the speed of a sloth, 30miles an hour.
I was getting infuriated, what was this?. even a guy on a wheelchair moved faster than her, I fought the urge to blow my horn, if this was how she drove, riding a cart would be better.
After awhile she started adding more speed.
yeah that's right, Step on it I thought, I hope she didn't suspect that I was tailing her.
****
A thirty minutes drive successful lasted for over an hour, I was so glad I finally arrived at crown peak, the huge sign board that says " WELCOME TO CROWN PEAK" was there to welcome me, I smiled, then I laughed remembering how terrified I was just minutes ago on the highway.
These driver's kept honking at me to speed up, one particular truck driver wouldn't stop giving me the finger, and taunting me saying.
Where'd you get your driver's license? the bike store?.
he must have thought that was funny because he laughed soon after he said it, I let him drive past me, but he kept coming closer to me.
I am on the highway, scared to death without a Google map in sight, only landmarks and my memory, I couldn't deal with a truck driver who looked like he got all his tattoo from a fourth grader, So I geared up, and imagined this was a movie and I was the main character trying to escape from a bomb carrying homicidal maniac driving a truck.
An boy did I like the adrenaline that gushed through my body, I drove past him, then the second car then the next, I felt alive, like I was in fast and furious with van dissel and the ROCK.
I took my phone out to call Charlie and ask for directions from here on out, I parked at a free parking spot and waited for an answer.
Heyy.
o my God destiny I was just about to call you, could you possibly get something for me??.
Great! I just got here and am already running errands. I joked.
please it's at this pastry shop, we are expecting an order and it would be really nice if you could help me pick it up, I'll send the location right now. She begged.
Fine!!, send in your house address Aswell I said.
If only she knew the horrors I had to face before getting here, I rolled up my glass and started my car, I heard a DING, so I checked my message and a location poped on my phone, it was ten minutes away.
After parking outside the parking loath, I walked in the doors of the pastry shop, outside it had a big sign that Said " TASTY PASTRIES". I could only imagine how bright it lit up at night.
The store smelt wholesome, different sensations, my nose couldn't handle it all, my eyes lit up, and my mouth was watering, I didn't know how long I stood just staring at all these tasty goodness but I knew it was for awhile.
Muffins, cupcakes, icecream cakes, Cake cakes, macaroons, short breads, normal breads etc.
I walked towards the counter, and I was greeted by this really good-looking guy.
This store had it all I thought.
Hii, am here for Charlie's order I said trying not to look stupid.
Okay well, we'll be right there with you, he said with a smile. picking up a telephone.
wait you are destiny right? He asked still smiling.
How did he know my name?
