Mega Mall Mega Problems - Part 3

Ronnie wasn’t that surprised when the teacher called her to her desk. “Yes, Miss Lane?”
“Do you know why Sam Griffin isn’t here today?”
“No.”
“I know you two have become fast friends since you started.”
“She didn’t say anything the last time I saw her.” Technically true, but also an omission.
“I’ll just mark her as absent then.”
Xander had quickly gotten bored. Mostly due to the ‘Three Js’ (as most in his grade called them) talking endlessly, but also due to the Interstate being an almost perfect driving surface. They were about halfway when he heard Quinn say something to him. “What was that?” he asked.
“I said, what are you going to buy at the Mall of the Millennium?” she asked.
“Um, I haven’t really thought about it,” he lied.
“Really?” Sam asked.
“I haven’t!” he said defensively. He didn’t want her, and Quinn, to know what he was going to buy. ‘I hope there is going to be enough space in the trunk.’
Xander’s perception of the Interstate’s smoothness was biased by the far superior suspension in his father’s car. Daria’s motion sickness only got worse the further they got from Lawndale. ‘I’ll have to find another way back,’ she decided. Maybe if she found Quinn and her friends, they would take her with them. ‘But there wouldn’t be enough room in the car.’
( Quinn saw the Mall of the Millennium first )
