The Kid

The Kid was pissed off, major league annoyed.

Leila said she would meet up in town and hadn’t showed. She’d only sent a text 20 minutes ago:

‘Coming now. Meet me outside McDonalds.’

No more than that. The Kid was organised; why was Leila so lazy?

She kept The Kid waiting another 20 minutes. This wasn’t happening!

When she finally showed The Kid called her over at just the right moment.

The car skidded, there was a thump, what looked like a rag doll bounced off the bonnet and flopped onto the road.

The Kid smiled all the way home.
