His Chase

16 | His Chase

Mabel thought being seventeen would make her feel something extraordinary but well... It's only that now she's old enough to--do as usual things--she should make a revolutionary bucket list but Nah she knows that would be a waste of time.

Zoe says, she has a list of stuff to do before eighteen and after eighteen, and one thing for sure she has come across lots of before eighteen stuff which also includes getting drunk.

Zoe wanted Mabel to be by her side while she got drunk on her ass but unfortunately, that didn't go that way. The only reason Mabel staying by her side was that if she went out of her head while being wasted, she could make sure Zoe's not doing filthy things.

Zoe was right to make that decision cause now she has kissed someone whom she is not able to recognize. In the corner of their minds, they somewhat know who he is. Just the situation doesn't get out of the lane they were scudding that topic away. Zoe's acting like she doesn't remember anything.

Mabel wants the memories from Scarlett's party to fade away, those are putting some blasting unwanted thoughts in her.

"Hii! Zoe!" A brunette walk past.

Zoe awkwardly smiles at her, "Hi." Then she whispers to Mabel, "I don't know even remember her name."

Mabel laughs softly reaching to her locker, "I guess now you are a popular kid!"

A group of boys walks past grinning at Zoe.

She grumbles, "Okay! Do they even study in our school?"

Mabel turns to her side.

She stares, "What?"

Mabel was not supposed to say about Ryan and Riley to Zoe which is basically one more secret she has to hide from her. Actually, Mabel hasn't talked about Skyler either. She just wants to bury that topic. She wasn't exactly understanding how to frame it in front of her best friend.

"Nothing." She blinks away.

Zoe paces to her class, "I'll meet you in the break."

Mabel wonders, how even she was going to react to Skyler for the exploited actions he pulled over her that it still sends nerve-racking chills in her body. Basically, she's still not over it. She wonders how awkwardly she was going to react to him. She hoped, She doesn't see him any sooner.

Someone scuds between the thoughts, "Mabel! Do you know where your dickhead cousin is?"

She turns over her heels only to find Gray standing a step away from her. Dylan keeps smirking at her standing beside his friend who's definitely threatening her.

She tries to keep her calm. Do these stupid know about Riley and Ryan?

Gray glares, "Do you even know what he did to Riley?"

Mabel snaps, "Can you back off?"

There was a wave of fright inside her she didn't want them to see it. His eyes looked cold. Students were keenly observing them. Just then she got pulled back. Someone just walked ahead and gave a slight push to Gray. It was Carlos, "Stay away, Gray!"

Gray chuckles, "Where's your fucking bestie, bro?"

Carlos fiercely stares at Dylan and Gray, "Just Fuck off!"

Impulsive nerves started pacing inside her. Because of the other movement, Gray pushed Carlos over the locker with a loud bang. The students chanted the cheers but before Carlos was about to receive a punch just before then the cockiest shows up at the last moment, his eyes were blazing playfully.
