Lev & Jenzten

In the squad, there are boys named Lev and Jentzen. The two are best friends and although Lev sometimes get Jentzen frustrated by his jokes and makes fun of the latter. But he is still a good friend to him.

The day after Piper’s birthday, Lev and Jentzen were in the living room house having a conversation about his upcoming birthday.

“I can’t believe that I’m almost 16 can you believe that?” he asked his best friend. “It’s about time for my license!”

“I know!” Jentzen replied. “I’m so proud of you.”

“I heard that Piper was going to surprise me that day. I wonder what it would be.”

“Yeah, I wonder what it is too. So excited for next week.”

“All I know is that I’ll be blindfolded that day.”

“So, Lev wants to play a driving game for a head start with driving?”

“Of course.”

So, the boys walked upstairs to set up the system. The game was called American Truck Simulator but Jentzen downloaded addons so they could drive cars there.

“It’s usually for trucks despite the name,” Jentzen stated. “But I use it for driving practice, I loved it because you got AI traffic, working lights, and real-life places in the game like here in LA and the rest of California.”

“That’s so cool,” Lev reacted.

So, Lev was behind the wheel of the vehicle and started driving. Jentzen had set the GPS from Los Angeles to Phoenix in Arizona. He would start at a Sell Goods place and turn left exiting the business, turn left again to get on Interstate 5 westbound and take the exit that leads to I-10 to get to Arizona and then had to exit at 149 to the rest area. Lyon was also there to support Lev.

When Lev went to one of the intersections, he passed a red light and the alert sounded and Jentzen had a field day.

“What are you in a rush too?” he laughed. “You passed red!”

“But it was yellow when I saw it,” Lev said.

“Really?” Jentzen replied.

“Let him focus,” Lyon said quietly.

When Lev reached the interstate, Jentzen told him not to weave in lanes like he was in a race. The left lane was for passing or for faster traffic and the slower traffic stayed on the right lane. Lev followed all the road rules even though he did speed at 84 on a 70 going downhill and flooring it but Jentzen did not say anything about it. Lev did improve on staying at the speed limit when he saw the speedometer go red a few times indicating that he was speeding. It showed a lot when he was on I-10. When he reached his exit, he went on the ramp at a safe speed of 40 mph. When the destination was reached, Jentzen congratulated him for doing so well.

“Despite you speeding some, you're driving was very good.”

“Thanks bro,” Lev said while giving a fust bump to him. “I’m ready for my test now thanks to you!”

“I still prefer you to do at least two more routes though,” Jentzen said. “Because there’s also other road signs that you must know, and I want you to get used to the lines on the road. Some are dotted and some have dotted near a solid.”

So Lev agreed and he also passed that test as well. Jentzen and Lyon could not believe it.

“So when will you put your skills into the real road?” Jentzen asked. “You're definitely a safe driver so there shouldn’t be any issues.”

“I don’t know,” Lev said. I guess when it is time.”

That time would be sooner than expected.
