278 The driving class 2 (1/2)

”Do you know how to start the car?” he asked.

”I know,” Ryn replied. She saw Mika, Jeremy and Mei Li started their car all the time and knew how to.

”Good. Let's exchange our seats,” Jacko said before paused. ”First of all, before you start the car, you should check the mirror and adjust the seat.”

Ryn watched as Jacko demonstrated what he meant. Her eyes narrowed in concentration.

Jacko made sure Ryn understood before they changed their seats and he watched as she repeated what he showed her earlier.

”Remember to do this especially during the driving test,” he reminded.

”Of course.”

”Now, I will show you how to change the gear,” he said after he introduced the parts in the car. He then instructed her how to, making sure she managed to do it without any struggle. He made her practice three times more before he decided that they could start learning how to drive.

”Don't get nervous and don't get scared. Just do it slowly and calmly,” he reminded. He told her to keep the gear to one and calmed her down when she started to scream suddenly.

”Calm down. Don't worry,” he said gently.

She gulped. At first, she was all calm and cool but once the car started moving under her 'instruction', she started to panic. She even forgot how to stop the car, just shouting at the top of her lung.

Jacko winced when her scream almost shuttered his ears but he kept trying to calm her down even though, all he wanted was, to stop the car and send her back. He did not expect a very calm and cool girl would react hysterically like this when she started driving. And it was only on how to drive forward! They haven't reached the part for turning and reversing yet!

It was a long hour. When they returned back to the driving academy, Ryn looked apologetic at Jacko the whole time. Jacko managed to hide his unhappiness. This was one of the worst students he had but he could not do anything. She paid for it and he had to make sure what she paid worth the price.

Ryn called for another Grab to bring her home. She closed her eyes and shivered, trying to erase the memory of today during the driving class. She was horrific. She tried hard to stay calm but she could not stop screaming and shouting.

It was like an accident would happen when she was in the driver seat and she was scared of it.

She took a deep breath to calm down. Luckily for her, her schedule for today was clear. She could just lie down on her bed and thought about how to make the trauma away so she could drive a car without any problem.

She rubbed her stomach absent-mindedly as she walked to the elevator. There was something she forgot but she just could not remember what it was. She shrugged it off and hurried went back to her home.

This time she did not bump into anyone she knew.

The only thing she had was cereal and eggs. She made two sunny sides up eggs and a huge bowl of cereal in milk. She brought them to sit at the balcony and sat crossed legs. She looked at the buildings scattering around and enjoyed her meal. It was little for her but she was too lazy to buy groceries or buy a meal outside.

She looked at her phone, frowning. Usually, around this time Mika would give her a call or a message but until now there was none from her. Had something happened to her best friend?

She finished off her food and quickly washed the dishes. Then, she went back to the balcony where her phone was. She decided to call Mika straight away instead of waiting for her best friend to call her.

*~*~*~*

Mika yawned loudly as she leaned closer to Jason. The press conference just ended and she was beyond exhausted. There were so many questions asked from the presses and luckily for her, Jason answered all of them. Just like Jason told her earlier, she just needed to look pretty and left the rest to others to handle the press.

”Want to have a little break this weekend?” Jason asked, kissing the top of her head.

”Hmm… I'm so tired.”

”I'll tell Ryn what happened. She must be worried when none of us inform her anything,” Jeremy said suddenly as he frowned at his phone. There were so many missed calls and messages. He glanced at his personal assistant and saw Jacob was on the phone.

”Another delivery for lunch?” Mika asked. She was starving after all this stress.

”What do you mean delivery? I'll bring you to your favorite,” Jason said with a frown. He looked at her elder brother, ”Jeremy, I'm bringing her out for lunch.”
