Helping Gwen 10

Home and Work

Bellwood High

Ben pulled up and honked.

Gwen

"Your looking much better." Julie Yamamoto said to Gwen.

"Man I am feeling better." Gwen said "I found my cousin."

"Really what's he like?"

The honking got their attention along with the other students.

"Grandpa?" Gwen rushed over.

"Gwen." Ben shouted "Come on we got ground to cover."

"Nice ride." Julie said walking over with her.

"Thanks just added a few upgrades." Ben said "Ben Tennyson."

"Julie Yamamoto." Julie said.

"You tricked out the rust bucket?" Gwen asked.

"Yep." Ben said "Come on. You need a ride home?"

"If Gwen trusts you." Julie said "Plus you're kinda cute."

Ben grinned and waved them in.

Stepping in the Camper started moving without Ben at the wheel.

"The breaks off!" Julie shouted.

"No it isn't." Ben said.

A hologram appeared in the driver seat.

"Self driving and holo driver." Ben said.

"That come standard?" Julie asked.

"No but I can install one in just about any car for enough cash." Ben said "Now since I don't have to bother driving. Homework."

"Now?" Gwen asked.

"Yep we got stuff to do this weekend and you are gonna pass this year." Ben said.

Julie felt a spark of joy. "So what's your relationship with her again?"

"Cousins. Blood related Cousins." Ben said "Also I am single."

"Well that's interesting. So am I." Julie said "Where do you go to school?"

"Oh I finished." Ben said "You can just cram and get passed it by the time I was old enough to drive. More time for work."

"Oh what do you do?"

"Law enforcement." Ben said.

Yamamoto residents

When the Rust Bucket 2.5 pulled in Julie's mother had walked out.

"Julie Yamamoto who is dis? Why are you not here studying?" Julie's mother shouted.

"Hi Mrs Yamamoto." Gwen said.

"This is Gwen's Cousin." Julie said "He was making sure Gwen studied for the finals."

"How old are you?"
