"Only or more week till my test!" Said Lena excitedly at lunch.

"I'm so proud of you, now you won't get my baby all dirty." Complained Atlas kissing her on the cheek.

"I got my license a year ago." Said Allie.

"About that, I haven't gotten mine yet." Admitted Jack to Allie.

"That's alright, you can ride with me if you need to." Said Allie hugging his arm.

Jack gave a fake smile.

Lena and Atlas chuckled.

The days went by, and every day Lena had driving practice, but now Lena was able to get her license.

"Today at 3:00 I will take you to your driving test and we will go from there." Said Lenas mom on the ride to school.

"Yay!" Said Lena.

After school, Lena was picked up by her mom and met Atlas, Allie, and Jack at the DMV.

About an hour later, Lena passed and officially got her license.

"Ok, so here is your license and the time you received it was 4:22pm." Said the desk lady heading Lena her license.

"Now you can drive anywhere, even London." Allie winked.

Lena nodded.

I have to leave in 2 days at 10:00 at night. Thought Lena.

"Wanna go pick out a car?" Asked her mom.

"Sure." Said Lena.

They went to a used car place and Lena found a car she absolutely loved and it was the perfect price. They got the car and drove it home.

"Hey mom, do you think I can go on a road trip in my new car in a few days?" Asked Lena.

"Sure, just be careful and drive safely." Said her mom fixing up dinner.

"Mom, since Lena is going on a road trip can I stay at the Rochesters house for a few days?" Asked Toby sitting at the table.

"Why, don't you want to spend time with me?" Asked their mom.

"Yeah, but I want to spend time with Carlos." Said Toby.

"I don't know anyone named Carlos and I've met all of your friends, who do you really want to see?" Asked Lena starring at him.

Toby looked down and whispered. "Courtney."

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." Said Lena.

"Courtney." Said Toby a little louder.

"You wanna spend more time with your girlfriend?" Teased Lena.

"She is not my girlfriend! Yet." Said Toby.

Lena smiled and turned towards their mom.

"If her mom says it's okay you can go hang out with your girlfriend." Said their mom washing her hands.

"She is not my girlfriend." Complained Toby plopping his head on the table.

Lena and her mom laughed.

The next day...

"Are you ready?" Asked Allie approaching her locker.

"Ready for what?" Asked Lena.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Said Allie.

"What are you guys talking about?" Asked Atlas giving Lena a kiss.

The watchover and Lenas trip tomorrow. Said Allie silently.

Atlas nodded.

"Anyway, I have to get to class, bye." Said Lena standing up and walking to her class.

After a few classes it was time for lunch...

"Today feels so different." Complained Allie.

"Just because Jack had to go to a family reunion for three days doesn't mean the world is ending." Said Lena.

"Not just that but something feels super different." Said Allie.

"Yeah, I feel it too." Said Atlas.

"You guys are crazy." Said Lena.

"We call attention to all rising juniors and seniors, please come to the office as soon as possible to pick up your prize, thank you enjoy the rest of your day." Called the over head monitor.

"There it is." Said Allie snapping her fingers.

"I wonder what the prize is, let's go." Said Atlas standing up.

"You mean right now?" Asked Lena.

"Yeah." Said Atlas.

"Alright." Said Lena standing up as well as Allie.

They walked to the office together and when they arrived, there wasn't anyone there.

"Huh, where is everyone?" Asked Atlas.

"All I know is that the time on the clock is set for tomorrow at 10:00,how odd." Said Lena pointing to it.

"You found my plan, I hope you remembered." Said a deep voice.

"Who's there?" Asked Lena looking around.

She noticed that Atlas and Allie had left.

"See you tomorrow." Said the deep voice and things went normal.
