We were in school and we had shop class. Every one was doing their individual things. Hayley and I were helping Calvin as he was fixing up a motorcycle that he build himself.

"Woah, you built that!?" Prestion asked impressed as the rest of the team checked it out. They were all amazed by it.

"Uh yeah, well sorta." Calvin answered. "I took three junker motorcycles and uh... salvaged enough to make one." He explained. "Not to bad ey." he said leaning onto the motorcycle.

"I always wanted to learn how to drive a motorcycle." Brody said with a smile looking at the motorcycle.

"Yeah, me too. Motorcycles are my dream vehicle." i pointed out agreeing with Brody. Sarah looked really hyper about it.

"It looks so fast, i like it. Calvin, can i please ride it after you?" Sarah asked him excitedly. "Please, please, please." she pleaded.

"Uh yeah even better, you can be the first....to test ride it." Calvin told her going around the motorcycle. She looked confused for a second.

"What?! No, no way." she told him. "You should definitely ride it first." She said "You see how fast you can go, i beat your record." she joked and we all laughed.

"No, really oh really its fine, um seriously." Calvin kept pursuing. "It's cool, it's cool just can you take it out... for a test drive." he told her serious. Everyone, except Hayley and I looked at him strangely.

"Cal, what's the matter?"Brody asked him raising an eyebrow. Calvin looked really nervious.

"Its okay, just tell them." Hayley encouraged softly. I put my hand on his shoulder, he looked at me and I nodded my head, agreeing with Hayley. Then he turned to the others and took a deep breath.

"I don't know how to drive." He told them. They looked at him confused. "Cars or motorcycles." He pointed out.

"Hold on, you drive your truck all the time, right?" Prestion mentioned but before Calvin said a word, Hayley butted in.

"Actually, im his personal chauffeur." She said leaning on the motorcycle and holding up the keys to Nitro. "You just never noticed." she continued grabbing a hold of Calvin's hand.

"I don't get it." Brody started. "You love to work on cars so much. Why don't you like to drive them?" He asked Calvin.

"One time when i was little, i was driving a go-kart..on a track. And the next thing i knew.. ..i was swimming out of a duck pond." he explained about the accident." And ever since that crash driving scares me to death." he finished. Then i had an idea.

"Sarah, you're the best when it comes to speed." i began saying. Then i pulled Brody closer to Calvin and I. "How about you teach the three of us how to ride a motorcycle... and Calvin will realise that there's nothing to be afraid of?" i asked looking at her.

"Yeah, that's not a bad idea." Brody agreed with me.

"Okay yeah, i'll make it my mission guys." Sarah agreed and we all cheered.

*Little time skip*

All of us were at a track close to the park. Sarah taught us how to drive and Brody and I learned quickly but Calvin was falling behind. Brody was doing all sorts of trick and every one was cheering for him while i was driving normally, but with speed. I didn't want Calvin to feel sad.

"This is so epic!" Brody shouted driving on only one wheel. I have to admit, he is a fast learner.
I was just driving and having fun then i noticed Calvin riding his motorcycle. Unfortunately he bumped into a few things. A person was reading his newspaper but Calvin drove past him and the wing made the newspaper fly into Calvin's face. He apologized, not seeing the water sprinkler and he got sprayed. Finally he crashed into a trash can and flipped over,it landing on the ground. I stopped and went to the others that caught up to him.
