C5 5. Sleepover.

LAYLA

Finlay just kept annoying me during class. Either trying to tickle me or flirt with me or annoy me.

"Stop." I whisper yelled at Finlay who I supposed shrugged.

"Oh come on princess just look at me, if you look at me I'll stop." He pleaded.

"I don't want to get distracted." I said still not looking at him.

He didn't reply and I thought he had given up. I thought wrong.

Finlay threw a pencil at me head making me hiss in pain.

"Any problem over there?" Our English teacher, Miss Woods asked with a raised brow.

"No ma'am." Finlay replied making it seem like she was talking to him.

Miss Woods nodded then faced the board again. I turned to glare at Finlay angrily.

"What was that?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"What? At least I got you to look at me." He said innocently leaning his back on his chair.

"Ugggh..... Finlay stop distracting me." I said then he smirked. He leaned his hands on his desk then put his face on both his hands.

"You mean I distract you." He whispered making me blush.

"Finlay just shut up." I said then flicked my finger on his forehead making it turn red. He winced glaring at me then he faced the board.

Zaid chuckled while Mikayla giggled at our silly behavior.

I rolled my eyes then faced the board.

The bell rang and Miss Woods stopped talking then packed all her books into her suitcase and walked out.

All the students waited until she was away before we stood up then walked out of the class with our bag hung up on our shoulders.

Mikayla and I had a free period and we usually spent it at the library so we were headed there now before Finlay and his friend walked towards towards us.

Final walked by my side while Zaid walked closer to Mikayla and they engaged in a conversation.

"Hey princess where you going." Finlay asked making me roll my eyes.

We're still on this princess shit right.

"Finlay?" I called.

"Yeah?"

"How many times have I told you to stop calling me princess?" I asked and he stroked his chin thinking if something.

"Since I started calling you princess." He replied.

"Why are you still calling me princess." I asked throwing my hands up and accidentally hitting him on the face.

"What are you gonna do about it – Princess." He taunted with a smirk.

I sighed.

"There's no use arguing with you. Is there?" I asked making him grin cheekily.

"Nope." He said.

"Fine then. We're going to the library." I answered his question earlier.

"You read? When you have a free period?" He asked with disbelief written on his face.

"Yeah so... What do you do when you have a free period?" I asked.

"Let's go the garden, we can talk about stuffs there." He suggested.

"Huh okay Mikayla?" I called my best friend who was looking at Zaid dreamily.

"Yeah?" She answered snapping out of her daze.

"We wanna go to the garden. Wanna come?" I questioned.

"Yeah. Why not?" She replied and we all walked towards the school garden.

Immediately we got to the garden, we all entered then sat on the grass.

"Hey don't you guys have any other friends?" Mikayla asked directing her questions towards the boys.

"We do actually." Zaid replied

"Yeah. We have two more friends, Alexander and Maxwell." Finlay was the one who answered this time.

"Wait you're friends with Alexander, the school cutest gay guy." Mikayla asked, her eyes glistening.

She had always admired gay guys. She even wanted a gay best friend.

"Yeah that's the one." Finlay said making Mikayla squeal.

"Your friend sure knows a lot of people." Zaid commented, his eyes looking at Mikayla.

"That's if she doesn't know everyone." I said making them laugh.

"Why isn't Alexander at school." She suddenly asked.

"He isn't feeling well so he stayed home today." Finlay replied her.

"Huh.... Who's Maxwell?" I asked as Mikayla gasped.

Such a drama queen.

"He's hot, a footballer and blue eyed handsome devil." Mikayla described.

Nope, never heard of him.

"He's not that great." Zaid muttered.

"Oh you know he is that great." Finlay teased obviously enjoying Zaid's expression.

"Please I play basketball, I'm pretty sure I'm hotter." Zaid said.

"And plus have you seen this body." Zaid said motioning towards his body "Girls kill to eat this."

"He's definitely a five course meal." Mikayla whispered to me making me roll my eyes.

"Okay children let's not get all cocky now." I muttered then looked at my watch.

The time was 11:13 which mean second period would soon be over.

"Come let go back it's two minutes towards next class." I said as we all stood up then walked back into the hallways

School was over now and Mikayla had chosen today to be our sleepover which means I need to get everything ready for tomorrow.

I picked my bag up then put my phone into it, then Mikayla and I walked out of the class.

Finlay wasn't here because he didn't have chemistry with us which I'm grateful for.

"Mum will drop me over okay, and plus what are we watching today." I asked Mikayla as we walked out of the school premises.

We both waited by the road side waiting for our parents.

"I feel we should watch 'Work It' or 'IT'." She suggested adjusting the strap of her bag.

"'IT' it is." I said as she smiled.

Mikayla had a thing for scary movies too.

She wasn't like other girls who just wanted to watch 'The Kardashians' to see what Kim wears so they can talk about it or all those chick flick movies.

I mean we watch 'The Kardashians' but not as much as those wannabees at school.

A horn distracted out conversations and we looked over to find mum's car waiting for me.

"Bye Layla, Bye Mrs Mayweather." Mikayla said waving at my mum while I walked towards mum's car.

I entered immediately then blew a kiss towards Mikayla which she caught immediately.

"Don't miss me too much Kayla." I said cockily making her roll her eyes.

"Oh get over yourself." She said.

"Okay okay Bye Mikayla." Mum interrupted out bickering.

"I love you Mrs Mayweather." Mikayla said said making my mum laugh in amusement.

"I love you too. See you tonight yeah?" Mum said.

"Yeah." Mikayla replied then mum drove off.

"So.... How was school?" Mum asked, her eyes filled with mischief.

"Get straight to the point mother." I said.

"Did you talk to Finlay?" She finally asked.

"Yeah mum. He's my friend plus I can't just ignore him if I tried, he is one hell of an annoying boy." I said to mum who smiled.

"Just focus on the road mum. I need to go prepare my things for the sleepover tonight." I said trying to avoid the subject.

"I know you're avoiding the subject." Mum said, her eyes till on the road.

"Oh my. Is it that obvious?" I asked, my voice laced with sarcasm.

"Young lady, you don't talk sarcastically to your mother." Mum said seriously.

"Eishhhh... Sorry mum, no need to get your granny panties in a twist." I muttered looking outside but I knew she was smiling.

"Okay we're here." Mum said stopping in front of our house.

"I know mum, I've lived here for all my life, how won't I know we're here." I muttered then opened the door. I got down and I walked directly towards the house.

I carried the spare key hidden in the flower plant outside then opened the door with it. I got in the ran up the stairs towards my room.

I entered my room then started arranging my clothes for the sleepover tonight.

I carried a big T-shirt that belongs to my dad and a pair of basketball shorts my cousin had left the last time he came here.

I carried matching underwear then dropped them in the bag.

I also carried a pair of jean shorts, a top, a pair of Snickers and big hoodie for tomorrow school.

I also dropped my backpack into the bag.

I packed them into a small bag then kept my brush, hair brush, lip gloss, mascara and hairband in the bag also.

"You seem excited to go for the sleepover." Mum said and I looked over to see her leaning on the door.

"I am." I said dropping my phone into the small bag now I'm all set for tomorrow.

"Okay let's drop you off okay." She said making me nod. I carried my bag then we both walked out of my room.

"Be a good girl okay." Mum reminded me as usual making me roll my eyes.

When will she realize I'm sixteen for goodness sake.

"We're here." Mum said then I unlocked my side of the car.

I carried my bag then walked out of the car.

I walked over to Mikayla's doorstep then rang the doorbell.

"Mikayla go get the door." I heard Mrs Smith yell.

"Okay mum." I heard Mikayla yell before I heard footsteps leading towards the door.

Mum came to join me in waiting and Mikayla opened the door the dragged me into a hug.

"And to what do I deserve this hug?" I asked with a raised brow.

"Like I can't hug my bestie." She scoffed then looked at my mum that was behind me.

"Evening Mrs Mayweather." She greeted my mum.

"Evening Mikayla." Mum said with a smile.

"Oh where are my manners? Come on in." Mikayla said politely.

"You had manners." I said behaving shocked making Mikayla hit the back of my head.

"Mikayla, who's tha– oh Hey Layla, hey Mrs Mayweather." Mikayla's mum greeted.

"Evening Mrs Smith." Mum and I said in unison.

"Come on let's go in." Mikayla said then dragged me towards her room.
