10-The Girl From The Mall And Driving Home
Once they were gone, the girl from the mall climbed in.
"Hi, " she greets me.
"Uh, hi?" I reply.
"Old boyfriend problems?"
"Yup." Wow I feel incredibly relaxed, like I can express my life's secrets to her.
"Mhmm. You?"
"Yup."
"So, how are your ex-boyfriend problems?"
"Well, my old boyfriend, Heath, saw me get marked in school."
"No way, you were marked in school?"
I start the car and start driving home.
"Yup. He's still convinced we're meant to be and he won't stop texting me."
I laugh at this.
"I know what you mean. When Mike and I were dating, he would text me 24/7."
We both giggle.
"So, how were you marked?"
So, I tell her my story.
"Wow, what a night that must have been for you."
"Yea, it was pretty out there."
"Oh, I'm Zoey by the way, Zoey Redbird."
I slam the breaks.
