PART 2 · LESSON 15 OF 30 · 31 MINUTES

Only One Is Right

Thursday the thirtieth of March 2028, the fifteenth lesson of this level. The night before, Chloe at the kitchen table with the trick questions of the theory test, Hugo at the stove, and a stop sign at two in the morning with nobody around. Two o'clock, a test centre on the plateau, forty questions, five mistakes allowed. Five o'clock, the email, three mistakes, Hugo on the phone, who never doubted it, and Monsieur Petit, who got his licence in 1966, on the third go. Say only one of them is right, with the little word for of them in the middle, and I got it, for a test you have passed.

THE STORY

Wednesday the twenty-ninth of March 2028, seven in the evening, the kitchen of the flat. Chloe at the table with the book of the theory test, Hugo at the stove, and a stop sign at two in the morning with nobody around. Thursday, two o'clock, a test centre on the plateau, a desk, a screen, forty questions. Five o'clock, the flat, an email, and two phone calls, to the club's office and across the old landing. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
