Marie stood there watching and listening as Jackie quickly broke off the conversation and left as she pretended that her ride was here to pick her up. Later She said as Jackie left. Jackie had the right idea. Marie could tell that she felt a bit awkward around Mel. It was obvious Mel didn't like Jackie.
Marie grabbed another hand full of fries, took a drink of her Pepsi, then finished off the rest. As she glanced at the doors of the mall, she saw her mom pull up in their forest green jeep. She looked at Mel. Well I got to go. See you around. Marie told her in a half mumble. Without turning back, Marie quickly walked toward the doors, tossing the fry carton and drink into the trash along the way.
Her wallet chain hanging from her back pocket hooked to her one of her front belt loops flapped against her leg as she opened the door. She waved goodbye to Jackie as she passed her then walked to the jeep that was waiting for her. Marie went to the passenger door and got in and sat as her mom drove them away.
