Max skates toward billy 1979 Chevrolet Camaro she notices billy leaning against his car watching scornfully among the crowd of kids.
Max approached the car
"That kid you were talking to who is he? Billy asked making his way to the driver seat.
"No-one." I say opening the passenger seat door. "Just a kid from my class." I hopped in the car not wanting to talk about lucas especially not with Billy.
Billy hung outside the car for moment. Before getting in slamming the door causing the car to shake a little I feel my body tense up a little. He pulls cigarette out from his coat pocket.
He lights it up flicking his defuncted lighter. His arm rest on the trim of the open window allowing some of the cigarette smoke to move outside. But that didnt stop the car from slowly fulling up with the strong scent of malbro cigarettes. I know billy is mad probably some shitty thing that happen to him at school or something and I'll his anger out on me. I also know hes not gonna let this Lucas thing go.
"Why was he talking to you?
"It was just a stupid class assignment." I lie although I know billy isn't stupid and will know something's up.
"Then why are you so upset." The tone of his voice almost contradicting the word that came out. His grating voice sounds as if he doesnt really care at all.
"I'm not!" I say my voice sounding louder than meant it too. I keep my gaze at the open window. Staring at the now empty parking lot.
"He causing you any trouble?"
"Why do you care?" I ask pulling my glance away from the window to look at him.
Because, you a piece of shit yeah but we're family weather we like it or not. Meaning im stuck look out for you. Billy says in an acrimonious tone.
Max lifts rasies hands up "now what would I ever do without yo-" she starts in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey!" Billy takes a firm grasp on Max's wrist. "This is serious shit, okay. He starts his tone now Contemptuous max figures this is about something more than her just talking to lucas. "Im older than you than and something you learn is that there are a certain type of people in this world you stay away from and that kid max...he tightens his grip on Max's wrist is one of them. You stay away from him, you hear me? Stay away."
Max tugs her arm to try an get her wrist outta billy grasp. Billy roughly let go off her wrist. The red haired girl turned her distrout face from billy. Billy brisk outta his spot speed off. The ride was pretty quiet. Once they pulled up to their house on cherry lane. Billy got out the car slamming the door behind him. Max got out soon after walking in to her house going straight to her room.
She tosses her bookbag on the floor before walking into the bathroom. Maxs looks into the mirror that sits on the cabinet above her sink and sees tear falling down her chin. She hadn't realized she was crying until now, everything she'd been holding in since this morning was rollig down her cheek. Her argument with Lucas, and billy. She look down at her wrist.
On each wrist there's a faint purplish blue bruise.
"Fuck." Max says her tears becoming heavier.
"God I wish Billy would just take him and his stupid fucking car and drive over a bridge." Max mutters to herself not actually meaning what she said but enough to have no remorse for her words.
Max's tears dry up and she decides to go outside on her street and skate to keep her mind off things.
