Ellie had to laugh when she saw the look on Kevin’s face. She had nearly forgotten the time she had bullied him into riding a bike. It hadn’t really ended well… She had made it up for him afterwards though, bandaging up his banged up knee and taking him out for an ice cream sundae. They had gotten the ultra deluxe sundae with all the toppings and it was so huge that even between the two of them they had barely managed to finish it and she had ended up with a stomach ache afterwards.

“Still no plans to get your driver’s license?” Ellie teased, “That’s one set of wheels I can’t wait to get my hands on…” Ellie had been trying to convince her dad to take her to get her learner’s permit but despite her desperate pleas he never seemed to be at home long enough to go with her let alone teach her how to drive afterwards. It was kind of silly really, there wasn’t any real reason that she needed to drive but she wanted to take that step into adulthood. That and it would be fun to be able to go to the mall or the movie theater without having to hitch a ride or taking the bus.
