Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17
It wasn’t long before Blue took the lead. They left the main campus and ran toward his car.
She couldn’t stop laughing as he helped her into the car.
He turned over the ignition, and within a matter of seconds, they were out of the parking lot, heading toward the edge of town, in the direction of the mall.
She didn’t care where they were going. Winding down the window, she looked out and laughed.
“Oh, my. I can’t believe I just did that.”
“Being a rebel suits you. You should do it more often.”
“Not a chance,” she said, chuckling. “I can see why people enjoy doing this though. It’s such a rush, and crazy.”
He laughed right along with her.
Blue pulled up into the mall, finding a parking space.
She shoved her bag into the back of the car and climbed out.
“So, what do people do when they’ve cut class?”
“Usually, they make out,” Blue said. “But I figure we could head to the food court. Grab some snacks, walk around a bit. We don’t want to make you too much of a rebel on your first day.”
“You’ve got that right.”
They headed toward the mall and Blue reached out, taking her hand. She was tempted to tell him not to, but then decided against it. She didn’t see a problem holding his hand. There was no reason to pull away.
That very morning, at school, she’d gotten through the finger-pointing and all the whispers.
It kind of helped that Blue seemed to constantly have a smile on his face. It thrilled her greatly.
They got some burgers and spent the entire afternoon wandering the mall. To most, it might have been a boring way to spend the afternoon hanging out, but to Laylah, it was perfect.
