When a teenager hits 16-years-old, the thing that preoccupies their mind aside from the typical "social life drama" and relationships, is their first experience behind the wheel. I remember my first driving "lesson" two years earlier.
It was a sunny, breezy summer day and I had gone out with my sister and two of my best guy friends. One of the two guys, who I will nickname "J", already had a car and a G2 license and basically did all the driving for us. That day, we all decided to just find a nice spot in a field and lay on the grass. So, we found a school with a park/playground near it. As he parked the car, I noticed that the parking lot was empty. I took the chance to drive his car, and, of course, I wasn't very good at it. After driving around for a bit, and practicing my turns, my friend wanted his car back so he made the biggest mistake of his life: he left the passenger seat and left me in the driver's seat... WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION.
So, I did what every 14-year-old would do: I locked the doors and drove away.
:D
It was pretty funny to see him run around and chase his own car. But, since he was a soccer player, he managed to catch up and stop me.
:( Boo. (N)
Ever since then, he never let me sit in the driver's seat, nor even let me sit in his car by myself.
But it was fun.
Can't deny that.
