Badboy's Venom

chapter 24

ZOE'S POV

WEDNESDAY

Wednesday is PE day, our school knock off early. My girls and I decide to meet at McDonald's and have lunch. I get home and prepare myself for our meeting up. I put on my blue jean and a simple t-shirt with sandals. I head  out and take a fifteen minutes' walk to the shopping center. I arrive at McDonald, my eyes land on Sammy and Linda who are seated at the back table. I head to them.

"Hey girls" I say as I pull a chair to get seated. "You're late Zoe." Sammy says. "Come on Sammy we only arrived like ten minutes ago. It's no big deal Zoe." Linda assures me by nodding her head slightly. "Thanks Linda. I'm not worried about Sammy, I know she wants me to give her my attention and I'm not up for it." I say with my eyes on Sammy and she simply smiles.

"Get your ass over the counter and order for us all. That is for being late." She implies playful and I roll my eyes at her. "What would you like to have Linda?" I question her. "Mhh let me see." Linda takes a look at the menu for a while.

"Just order us all some Big Mac with drinks." Sammy answers for Linda. Why am I not surprised. Big Mac is every teenager's favorite meal currently. I head to the counter to order our meal. I get myself cranberry juice and fizzy drinks for Sammy and Linda. We have a great afternoon with my girls. Catching up on our 'girly stuff' while having our delicious meal and how can we not gossip about our classmates with Sammy here, that's highly impossible. It's been almost two hours since we arrived here. As we were about to leave Mike and Carl appear at the entrance. They approach our table. I wonder what they are doing here.

"Ladies" Carl greets with a huge smile on his face. "Hey guys" Linda answers while Sammy's busy with her phone. Mike comes by my side and gives me a one arm hug then a kiss on my cheek. "Hey babe" he greets. I look at Carl whose smile disappears immediately after Mike gave me a kiss. I see jealousy in Carl's eyes. Linda notices too, she moves her eyes between Carl and I while Carl keeps glancing at me.

"Hey what brings you guys here?" I ask them both. "To get lunch but we're not staying." Mike responds.  "You two at McDonald's? You just don't seem like that type." I try to make a joke and they all laugh except Carl. "Food doesn't have a type." Mike jokes too. "I'll be back." He adds as he departs from us to the counter to order their meal. Carl grabs a chair from the other table then sit next to Linda.

"Forgive me for not introducing you all. Linda this is Carl, Carl this is Linda." I introduce them to each other. They shake hands. "Nice to meet you Carl." Linda says. "Call me Trigger please, that's what everybody calls me." Carl informs her. "And this is Sammy." I tell Carl. "Oh I know him." Sammy sneers still busy with her phone.

"It's nice to meet your friends Zoe." Carl says, ignoring Sammy with her attitude on him. Mike returns holding their meal in hand. "Ladies we're leaving now. Enjoy the last of your meal." Carl announces. "I'll call you later babe." Mike says giving me an eye wink. He doesn't usually call me babe but he keeps on repeating it now. Few minutes after their departure we aslo leave.
