Chapter 37
.
Jacob didn't tell his parents about the dirty word spray-painted on his locker. Jennifer and some others at school stood by him and Lily through this. It was mostly chrismujews who were still their friends. Jennifer admitted she still wanted Lily to take the mark of Christ when she turned 18, perhaps the others were too. The satanist students didn't seem to care what had happenned, Lily seemed to be a traitor to them, and they had little interest in recruiting Jacob. Jacob and Lily talked about this one day in late January.
.
Jacob: You doing okay?
Lily: Yeah. You okay after that word?
Jacob: I'm okay. I guess we just have to put up with a few narrow-minded bigots.
Lily: What is their problem with us anyway? So a chrismujew and a satanist fall in love. Why is that anyone's business but ours, and our families?
Jacob: Good question. My side fears for my soul, I don't know about your side.
Lily: I guess some of us just don't like you guys, the same as some on your side just don't like us.
Jacob: Yeah. Listen, how would you like to go to a club on Saturday night?
Lily: What kind of club?
Jacob: An underground club. I've never been myself, but they say everyone's welcome.
Lily: Worth a shot, I'm in.
