C2 4. Hey Princess.

LAYLA

"It's a whole lot...." I dismissed the alarm.

"I'm up. I'm up." I said sitting on my bed.

I yawned then rubbed my eyes to see well.

The time was 6:50am.

Stupid alarm, always waking me up. I would have slept more, but I want a proper bath today.

Why can't there be night time for twenty four hours.

Oh wait.... not after what happened in fairy old parents.

I stood up then stretched and walked towards my full body mirror.

I practically cringe to the sight of how I looked.

I mean I knew I was ugly but why the hell do I look like a drool monster.

Other girls get sexy bed hair while I just get a nest on my head.

I shivered looking at myself again then I walked towards my bathroom.

I stripped out of my pajamas then stepped into the jacuzzi like bathtub and set the water to warm.

I scrub and bathed my body slowly then stepped out of the bathtub then took my brush. I stood in front of my bathroom mirror then started brushing my teeth.

Immediately I finished brushing, I walked out of the naked. Yes naked, I mean I'm the only one in my room, why not appreciate my body?

I walked into my walk-in closet then took a high waist Jean skirt, a crop top, a pair of black boots and a jean coloured hair band.

I quickly wore my matching underwear then I wore my clothes too and I walked out.

I sat in front of my face mirror, brushed my hair then packed it into a pony tail.

I rubbed a little bit of lip balm on my lips and I put a bit of mascara.

All ready to go.

I carried my phone and my eyes nearly bulged out due to the amount of called I missed from Mikayla, she is not going to let me hear the end of this.

Mum walked in and her smug expression turned into one of surprise.

I'm guessing she was not expecting me to be ready.

"You're ready?" She asked with surprised evident in her tone.

My guess was right.

"Yes mum I am. Can I have breakfast today?" I asked her as she nodded.

I carried my bag and my phone hen walked down the stairs towards the kitchen.

I dropped my phone in my bag then dropped my bag on the kitchen counter.

I carried a plate then rinsed it and clean it with a paper towel. I poured a reasonable amount of cereal then poured my milk in it.

"I would never believe the way you eat cereal, you are as weird as your father." Mum said shaking her head.

"Says the woman who pours milk before the cereal." I muttered mixing my cereal and the milk properly before u started stuffing my face with it. Mum glared at me before sitting down in front of me.

"Here I packed your lunch for you." Mum said handing my rectangular plate over to me.

"What did you pack." I asked her.

"An avocado, frizzy soda, chicken and chips." She replied making me beam.

"Avocado?" I asked with a frown.

She knows how much I hate avocados.

"You need it in your system baby girl. It's healthy." She said trying to convince me.

I collected it knowing I wouldn't eat it eventually.

"Come on, let's go before we both get late." Mum said as we both stood up then walked towards the door.

We walked out and mum locked the door from behind her before we walked towards her car. She open the door automatically with her remote instead of the key.

"Are you sure nothing happened at the library yesterday." Mum said immediately we both entered the car. I knew this discussion was not over.

I sighed then looked at her "Mum I already told you nothing happened okay." I said remembering Finlay.

"I just want you to know you can trust me okay? I'm your mum and I love you." She said then started the car then started driving.

"Mum what make you think something happened?" I asked playing with my fingers.

"I'm a mother baby, it's called mother instincts plus your face became red when I asked you if anything happened. Originally I asked because you came late." She explained.

"Actually I met someone." I said to her and she beamed.

"Who?" She asked.

"His name is Finlay and he's in my English class." I replied.

"He? Baby girl be careful because all this teenage boys just want sex." She advised and I looked at her blankly.

"Mum you know I don't talk to people. If you don't want him to be my friend, I can easily avoid him." I said to mum but she shook her head negatively.

"I'm just telling you to be careful." She said then pecked me.

She stopped the car "We're here." She said and I opened the door.

"Bye mum. I love you." I said then pecked her and walked out of the car.

"I love you too." She called out hen drove off.

I quietly walked into the school and as usual the hallways were busy so I made way to my locker but Mikayla was already there waiting for me.

Uh oh.

"Hehe... Hey Mika, Kayla, bestie." I said poking her shoulders occasionally, but she just glared at me.

"Why didn't you call back huh?" She asked fiercely.

"I'm sorry. I went to the library and I was playing some games before the sunset started and I met this hot Greek god that's in our English class and-." I rambled but Mikayla shut me up with one of her finger on my lips.

"Hold on, you met a Greek god that's in our English class." She asked making me roll my eyes. Of course, trust Mikayla to get only that part.

"Well aren't you looking cute today." I said changing the topic.

Well it wasn't a total lie, Today Mikayla was wearing a pair of pink trousers and baby blue top with pink sandals, she also braided her hair into two with butterfly hair pinks to decorate her hair and she was wearing BTS earrings on her ears too with silver bracelet on her left hand.

Mikayla was a bomb.

"Oh I know rightttt." She squealed. "I got this cute hair pins at the mall yesterday. Mum said it looks good on me– Hey don't change the topic." She directed the last part with a glare.

"Now who's this Greek god." She asked.

"His name is Finlay–." I said

"You mean Finlay, as in brown curly hair Finlay." She said making me glare at her.

"Yes, now shut up. As I was saying before you interrupted, we met at the roof top yesterd–." I said but a voice cut me off.

"Talking about me already princess." Someone said slinging his hand over my shoulder.

"Shut up Finlay." I said then removed his hands from my shoulder and glared at him "And do not call me Princess."

I looked over to Mikayla to see her gaping at Finlay.

Finally looked over to her then smiled at her.

"Hey." He said with a smile.

"Oh my gosh." Was all she said.

"Stop disgracing me Kayla." I muttered rolling my eyes at my drooling best friend.

"I must say your best friend know how to appreciate a hot boy when she sees one." Finlay said making me nudge him in his side. He winced in pain while glaring at me.

"You know for a small girl like you, you sure know how to nudge." He wheezed out.

"Why are you even here?" I asked raising a brow at him.

"Incase you haven't realized, we have English now and well it's almost time for English." He reminded making my eyes widen.

"Oh shit. Mikayla where are your books?" I asked turning towards Mikayla.

"You know I come very early, so my bag is always in class." She said rolling her eyes.

"Good point." I said then opened my locker.

"Nice locker." Finlay whispered in my ear, his hit breathe fanning my neck.

"Yeah. You're too close for comfort." I said then pushed him away.

"If you guys are tired of flirting, I'll have you guys know that class would soon start." Mikayla voice rang out.

"I'm coming." I said then carried my books out of my locker. I put them in my bag then closed it.

"Let's go." I said as we three walked towards the class we always took English in.

Mikayla and I sat at our usual places next to the window while Finlay actually sat at my back.

I thought he was lying or something.

"Yo Finlay." A boy I've never seen before said to Finlay and he sat next to Finlay.

This boy was definitely attractive and I'm sure Mikayla agrees with me because of the way she was undressing him with her eyes.

He had black hair and I'm sure brown eyes, pink lips, pointy nose and sharp jawline like Finlay's own.

"How you doing Zaid." Finlay asked the boy.

"You know, I've been okay but these bitches still spreading shit bout spending a night with me when I was playing COD last night." He said making Finlay shake his head.

"All those wannabees." Finally said and they continued talking.

"He's so cuteeee..." Mikayla squealed making me roll my eyes.

He was hot but Finlay was definitely hotter.

I mean Finlay was a work of art, Greek work of art.

From his curly hair to his long lashes to his honey coloured eyes to his nose and his goddamn plump pink lips to his whole body.

Finlay was hot.

"You know if you keep on looking at Finlay like that, I'm gonna think you wanna fuck him." Mikayla whispered making me blush.

I took a peek at him when he was laughing and gosh his laugh was hot and deep.

He noticed me then winked at me making me roll my eyes.

The only reason our faces weren't so close was because our chairs were separated really far from each other.

Minutes later, both Finlay and Zaid shifted their chairs close to ours then Finlay whispered "Hey princess." In my ears

Oh this is gonna be a long day.
