Two years had passed since Paul's victory at the talent show. He and Hank were still close with each other. They were now sixteen, and today was the 일 they were going to take their driver's tests. Hank was chatting with two of his 프렌즈 as they were getting ready to leave the school. One of them asked him, "What kind of car are 당신 hoping to drive?" He said, "I'm thinking either a sports car 또는 maybe one of those muscle cars like my grandpa used to collect." The 초 one of his 프렌즈 said, "That's cool. You'll look so tough in it." Hank smiled. The first friend then asked, "What'll Paul drive, a hippie van?" Hank frowned. His 프렌즈 still enjoyed making fun of Paul. The 초 friend said, "I bet he'll drive a 담홍색, 핑크 one, being the sissy that he is." They laughed. Hank said, "Stop that! Paul might not be into sports cars and muscle cars, but that doesn't make him less of a man!" Just then, they saw Paul walking out the door. Hank's first friend said, "There he is. Let's beat him up." Hank said, "If 당신 touch him, I will end 당신 myself!" His 프렌즈 ran in fear. Hank then went to 가입하기 Paul and said, "I think I'll sit with 당신 on the ride home." Paul asked, "Are 당신 mad at your friends?" Hank said, "They were making fun of you." Paul said, "I don't care what they think of me." Hank said, "I know, but I wish they'd at least show 당신 respect." Paul said, "Maybe they will someday." Hank said, "I hope so. In the meantime, this is the last time we get to ride the bus with those assholes." Paul said, "That's true." The two brothers enjoyed each other's company as they rode 집 to prepare for their driver's test.
