She’s missing a shoe, and the contents of her purse are scattered around her like the guts of a party popper. He knows she’s stone drunk, but this is too much, even for her.”]]> 2022-03-16 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611848 laurasmith21 https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611850 ”Justyce can hear the approaching footsteps, but he stays focused on getting Melo strapped in. He wants it to be clear to the cop that she wasn’t gonna drive so she won’t be in even worse trouble. Before he can get his head out of the car, he feels a tug on his shirt and is yanked backward. His head smacks the doorframe just before a hand clamps down on the back of his neck. His upper body slams onto the trunk with so much force, he bites the inside of his cheek, and his mouth fills with blood.”]]> 2022-03-16 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611850 laurasmith21 https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611851 “It hits him: Melo’s drunk beyond belief in the backseat of a car she fully intended to drive, Jus is the one in handcuffs.”]]> 2022-03-16 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611851 laurasmith21 https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611852 “I know your kind: punks like you wander the streets of nice neighborhoods searching for prey. Just couldn’t resist the pretty white girl who’s locked her keys in her car, could ya?”]]> 2022-03-16 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611852 laurasmith21 https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611854 “Quick Intro: My name is Justyce McAllister. I’m a 17-year-old high school senior and full-scholarship student at Braselton Preparatory Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m ranked fourth in my graduating class of 83, I’m the captain of the debate team, I scored a 1560 and 34 on my SATs and ACTs respectively, and despite growing up in a “bad” area, I have a future ahead of me that will likely include an Ivy League education, an eventual law degree, and a career in public policy. Sadly, during the wee hours of this morning, literally none of that mattered.”]]> 2022-03-16 18:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laurasmith21/yrpm5entvyu0on8m/wish/2098611854
