Making A Bad Boy

Tonight Should Be Fun

This chapter is kinda short I know, but this is where I wanted to stop it. If you're reading this. Thanks! Picture of Leigh to your right :)

“Just lock all the doors and keep the lights in the living room and the kitchen off” my mom told me as she gathered her work bag to head over to the hospital. I hated that she worked the night shift but oh well, it just meant no curfew for me. “I know mom”, I answered her quickly.

“So what do you have planned for tonight Leigh?” I shrugged, “Just going to stay in tonight, you know, it being a school night and all. Maybe catch up on some homework.” She looked at me for a minute trying to figure out if I was lying or not. Finally she sighed,” Okay dear, just don’t stay up too late.” And with that she left.

I quickly pulled out my phone and called Bethany, one of the few friends I had made here, “Beth? Meet me at the mall in ten, tell the guys.” I was about to hang up before an idea hit me, “And Beth? Bring your boards”. I hung up, thinking tonight should be fun.

I grabbed my house keys and pulled my black hoodie over my head. I checked all the doors and went up to my room to grab my board. I was outta the house in four minutes flat. I dropped my board onto the sidewalk and hopped on. I had to dodge a few pedestrians, but I eventually made it to the mall.

I rode into the parking lot to see Bethany, Drew, Reagan, and Chase already waiting for me. I rode up to them with a smirk, “You guys ready?” Bethany and Reagan nodded while Drew and Chase were making a bet on who would get caught. “Regular rules apply”, I said quietly, “loser buys the weed”. Chase looked at me with a “duh” expression. “Okay guys let’s do this”, we pulled our hoodies over our heads and entered the mall.

Reagan was the first to start riding and the rest of us jumped on our boards and quickly followed. People were jumping out of the way yelling curses at us while other teens were cheering us on. I couldn’t help but smile, I loved the attention.

Then we heard the mall cops blowing whistles at us and yelling for us to stop. I looked over at Drew who just flipped them off, I smirked. The mall cops were terribly out of shape making them chasing us on foot look all the more embarrassing for them.

I turned around to make sure everybody was still riding, as I turned, I saw Bethany grinding on a rail, I yelled, ”Woohoo” and she laughed. I turned to look for Chase and saw that he wasn’t with us. Oh well, looks like Chase got caught, I smiled. Guess he’s buying the weed tonight.

Reagan whistled and we all looked back at him. He waved his black glove in the air, meaning someone had been caught and that we should start heading towards the exit. My heart started beating faster, getting away was always the hardest part.

I started moving faster through the crowd, the mall cops whistling fading behind me. I turned around to make sure no one was following me, when I was knocked off of my board and onto my back. I sat up quickly, pain piercing my lower back, “What the fuck!?” I yelled.

I stood up and stared at the asshole that knocked me over. Oh shit! It was Mrs. Ross, my mom’s co-worker. “She stared at me wide-eyed, “Leigh, what is the meaning of this?” I was going to answer her before I heard, “Hey, stop that girl!” I turned around to see the mall cops catching up to me. I pushed past her and jumped on my board, rushing out the exit. I rode through the parking lot to our meeting place never looking back.
