Miss Parker’s First Test Drive

StarBeam



(Flashback Miss Parker )

Miss Parker pulled up to the Department of Motor Vehicles and smiled at the passenger in the seat next to her. Sydney ran his hand thought his hair.

‘She’ll never pass if she drives like that.’ He said to himself smiling back at her.

"So do you think I’m ready?" She asked parking the black sedan.

"Just remember the pedestrian has the right of way at all times. Turn your blinker on, look then pull out. Park closer to the curve and you’ll do fine." He said

"Got it." She said

There was a tap on Sydney’s door. He looked out then rolled down the window.

"May I help you?" Sydney asked

"I’m the driving instructor." He said

"Oh" Sydney opened the door and stepped out of the car looking at the older man.

"Good luck" He said to Miss Parker

"Thanks" They both replied.

Sydney shook his head then walked into the building to wait for Miss Parker to come back.

An hour later Miss Parker stopped at the red light across from the DMV after her best drive yet and following all of the advise from Sydney she was sure she passed. The light turned green and she quickly looked to see if their was anyone still in the cross walk. Seeing it clear she pulled into the intersection and saw the car at the side of hers just before it hit.

Her world went dark.

"So Jarod is a driving instructor. I pity his students." She said walking out of the DMV in Kingston Texas

(Flashback)

Miss Parker woke in a hospital bed with pain all over.

"So did I pass?" She asked Sydney

"No one saw the accident, but you and the other guy. The instructor said he didn’t see the other car. They said you’ll have to take the test again because the other driver said it was your flat. A Mr. Broots"

********

"They said Jarod’s last student should be back any time now." Broots said walking out and joining them

"Good" Miss Parker said hoping to see Jarod pale white.

A car pulled up to the curve and a young teen boy jumped out smiling.

"I passed" He yelled.

He walked over to Sydney

"Are you Sydney?" He asked

"Yes" Sydney answered

"Here Jarod wanted you to have this." He said handing Sydney a red notebook.

Sydney opened it and looked at the article "DMV Instructor Jailed After Negative Drug Test."
Sydney flipped to the next article "DMV Instructor Found Innocent."

"Well I think we missed him again." Sydney said passing Miss Parker the red note book

"Broots I didn’t pass my first test. Do you know why?" She asked

"No." He said

"You blamed me for the accident." She said

"Accident?" He asked

"Yes" She said

"Miss Parker I’ve never been in a car accident while being the driver." He said confused.

"Right" She said raising an eyebrow at him.

"No really." He answered

"Then who was that?" She asked Sydney

"A Mr. Broots, but not our Broots." He answered

"All this time I thought it was you." She said looking at Broots

He shrugged.

They all walked back to the car and Miss Parker jumped into the driver seat. She drove back to the airport going the speed limit.
