I wasn’tthatsuicidal.
“I can’t,” I heard myself lie, as I stepped around him and moved for the gate. “I have to stop in at work before I go home.”
“Why?” he called after me, sounding impatient. “Have you wages to collect or something? Because I can drive you over.”
Oh, you’d love that, wouldn’t you.“No, I left my school bag at the garage.”
“Then you can walk your hole over there,” he barked. “I’m not your lacky, boy.”
Ignoring him, I kept walking and moved for the changing rooms, needing to put some distance between his fists and my body.
“Hey asshole,” Molloy called out when I stalked past her, letting me know in no uncertain terms that I still wasn’t entirely forgiven for calling her easy back in first year.
I had thrown the word out as a roadblock, a diversion, to send her running in the opposite direction of me.
It didn’t work.
Instead of avoiding me, like I needed her to do, like any normal girl would, she gave me hell. With smart-ass comments, and witty one-liners, Molloy continued to throw her version of shade at me, determined to get me back for offending her.
“Molloy,” I acknowledged with a small nod.
“Nice performance.”
“Nice legs.”
“Want to be a gent and walk these nice legs home?”
“Why?” With my hand on the changing room door, I turned back to glare at her. “Is he not coming back for you?”
Red-faced, she shook her head.
Fury erupted inside of me. “He justleftyou here?”
She nodded.
“He’s an asshole.”
Another embarrassed nod.
“Where’s your father?”
“Gone out with my mam for the night.” She waved her phone at me. “Phone’s off.”
“Jesus.” I released a frustrated growl. “The fuck are you doing with a tool like him, Molloy?”
“Will you walk me home or not?”
No.
No.
Fucking no.
She’s not your problem, lad.
Just walk away.
“Give me ten minutes to shower and get changed,” I heard myself mutter, mentally kicking myself in the balls.
