"When can I start driving myself?"

"When I know you can drive"

"I got my license"

"Before you got your prosthetic."

Zayn frowned "I didn't lose it in a car accident..." Zayn mumbled pulling his sleeve over his hand

"I know, but-" He sighed "Zayn. I just worry, ok?"

Zayn stayed quiet then smiled at his father "What if I retake my drivers test? Will that make you feel better?"

His father chuckled and shook his head "Sure"

Zayn smiled "Is it a deal?"

"Yes Zayn. It's a deal"

"I dropped out of the games"

Zayn looked at Louis who sat down across from him "What?"

"Oh right, you're still new. So, every year the school hosts a thing called 'The robot games', where every student made robot will be given commands to do things, then the last 2 standing will get into a wrestling match"

Zayn blinked "Oh..." He tilted his head to the side "Why did you drop out?"

Louis snorted "My robot had too many issues, everytime I fixed something a new issues would come out"

Zayn slowly nodded "Do you want me to help?"

Louis smiled and shook his head "No, the games are next week. There's no way to fix thousands of lines of code, more than 50 internal wires and to make sure it actually works"

Zayn blinked "That's-"

"Insane? He knows" Niall said sitting down

Louis rolled his eyes and Zayn chuckled

"Are you in the games?"

"No, I'm just here to do what's necessary, I did a few extracurriculars my first year but it was too stressful"

Zayn nodded "Didn't the year just start? How are the games next week?"

"Some usually start getting ready for it from the summer, it depends on the student. I started when school started up again"

"Teachers usually give the students who sign up excuses as to why they can't physically be there in class. As these games are important to this section of the school. Just like the business section cares a lot about going to companies, the science section is about their lab days and open days for the art scention"

Zayn shook his head "That sounds crazy"

"Oh. It is." Zayn looks at Niall "I was in the science section. Left 2 weeks in"

Louis shrugged "I was in the business section for a year" he shivered "The amount of charts I had to study made me refuse to go back"

Zayn chuckled, Louis leaned ahead "What was your previous school like?"

Zayn shrugged "It was an all in one, business, science, art, IT. After I took my tests, my dad brought me up here"

Louis and Niall slowly nodded

"Must've been boring" Louis said and Niall again, nodded

Zayn shrugged "It was fine"

"Don't you miss any of your friends?"
