My African Nerd

11. Adrien Doe

David Peterson

Right now I had the widest grin on my face. My Austin Matin DBS was currently going 120 miles per hour because I couldn't wait to see the prettiest girl I have ever seen, who happens to be my girlfriend by the way. The driving lessons my father forced me to take included evasive driving which I kinda used to earn rap as a street racer back home. I know, my dad used to hate that about me too. I have not driven like this in 4 and a half years and man I missed this. And right on time, I heard sirens behind me, just like old times except, this is America. I do not have the connections I had. My father is not there to save my bacon. I didn't think this through. I could try to out run him but I do not know all the routes and shortcuts like I used to. I do not want to tanish my Uncle's name.

'This is the the police, stop your vehicle and come out with your hands where I can see them'

I was already late, any chance I had of making it had just vanished. I stoped, killed the engine, stepped out of the car with my hands on my head. The officer approaching me was the scariest man I had ever seen. I swear he looked like he could lift a freakin building and he was about to break me. Well, good bye world. I braced myself, ready to soil my pants when I heard a deep rumble near me.  I looked up to see his stained teeth and him deep in laughter. I guess I looked like I was caught with my hand in a forbidden cookie jar.

"Peterson?" He said in between laughs

"Ye-yes s-s-sir I am." I said under my breath

"So you are Blake's boy. He couldn't stop talking about you. I am Adrien Doe, Blake's boyfriend." What.the.hell?!

"Adrien Doe? I am Da-David. I am sorry I did not recognize you, my uncle has said a lot about you." Actually he has not, but I know better than to upset him.

"Come on Dave, I know he hasn't told you yet. It was our agreement, until you felt better. I heard you are making progress with your PTSD."

"yes sir I am. It took a while but yes I am."

"Please, call me Adrien, sir makes me feel like a dinosaur. You should be more cautious of your speed. You could go to prison, ruin your future. Well not really ruin your future but you know what I mean."

"Yes s, Adrien I understand what you mean and it will not happen again. I am running late to meet my girlfriend Mia."

"Mia. The girl you love right? Your uncle talked about her for weeks now. I am sorry but I have to give you a speeding ticket because I already called dispatch to report you."

"I understand. Can you make it quick so that I can get to Mia?" I was starting to get impatient but managed to hide it from my voice

"It will take thirty minutes at least to get everything in order then I will handle it with your uncle." He assured me.

"Thank you. Mia is going to kill me." The sadnest taking over. First time she calls me to her house and I am late.

"While we wait, you have to tell me about this Mia girl, she helped you recover from PTSD right?" He inquired, like it was some sort of case, or maybe I was hearing things because I was still scared as hell, but not of Adrien, of the Blue eyed Queen that was waiting for me. To make matters worse, my phone decided to die. Great

"She kind of did. It is a cliché story actually. Good boy meet bad girl. They fall in love. She is part of the populars at school and I am a nerd. It started when I ran into her in the hallway. I ruined her iPhone and they bullied me for weeks. I could have easily kicked their butts but I needed the physical pain to get rid of the emotional pain so I rolled along with it. Fast forward, she wanted to sleep with me, I rejected her and we bacame close. Some idiot from school called Philip tried to kill her, I helped her, he got arrested. And we confessed love to each other, so today I had to meet her at her house fifteen minutes ago."

"Alright boy, it is your lucky day. I will personally accompany you, I will lead the way, you follow me. Police are allowed to drive at high speeds and if you follow me well."

After thirty minutes of casual chatting, Adrien was my own personal escort. He blowed his siren and I followed him in high speed. We sped through red lights earning evil looks from people waiting for the green light.

I am having a blast. I had a bit of a block ending this chapter but I tried. What do you think of Adrien? Hope you enjoyed. Remember to vote if you enjoyed..
