kate hums, chin parked on her palm; ❝ you’re totally lying if you don’t want to run the hell away from shadyside. everyone in this shithole does. ❞ she shoots heather a curious look, and a smile, fingers spinning a curl of dark hair. everyone had their own reasons, here. everyone was scared of rotting in the same houses their parents grew up in — and would die in — ever-shadowed by the neighbouring mansions. not for the first time even this week, came the thought; fuck sunnyvale — they’d never worked for anything in their lives.
❝ alright, mallrat, ❞ she concedes, but not unkindly. after all, everyone and their dog knew what it was kate and simon did for a side hustle. ❝ … so, what are you running toward, exactly? california? ❞ she surveys heather for a longer moment, pulling her knees in a little closer, before turning her gaze to the ground. ❝ … that’s what i’m gonna do. saving up. any-where’s better than here, though, right? ❞
