Reaching the club for the university officers, she openly barged in inside and sat whichever chair was empty.
She planted her head of her palms, ignoring how she literally gate-crash an emergency meeting there.
"Layla, are you alright?" It was Maia who approached her.
And then the rest of the officers did so.
Layla didn't intend to bag sympathy on anyone. She just want to be alone while she processes the storm inside her chest.
So every kind gesture in that moment annoyed her.
She looked up with teary eyes to her friends. "Can you please just shut up for five minutes? All of you."
And then the buzzing office went silent and every officers stood still, not saying any words at all.
Layla was astonished that her stubborn friends actually listened. Normally, Maia will smack her head, Kanali would sit with her and Jira would wring her arm with her.
No none of them did that.
