"ok,just get out the window and jump on that ledge then slide down the pillar".I explained
"Don't treat me like a child".she started
"I can do this".she said, packing her hair into a ponytail
And she did..... gracefully.Her jump was seamless
"Trouble number one checked". Maximus said as he glanced at the wall clock
"7:00"
I should probably go down now.No doubt Father will be pissed but not as much as seeing Jane in my room
The man will snap
i grab my bag and head downstairs.What comes next will be bad but I should be able to handle it
Leyla's pov
I wake up,my eyes red and puffy.
"What happened last night".I say to my reflection
"Honey,hurry up".I hear mom call out
"Yes mom-".I started but got cut off
"ok dear".I hear dad's voice
wait,did mum just call dad 'honey' and did dad just call mum 'dear'.What happened last night
And then it all came back,and I could feel tears threatening to fall again but I quickly wipe them off
"You are Leyla".I point to the mirror, talking to my reflection boldly
I quickly shower and catch breakfast before humming my way to school.
"Hey Leyla".Brie cheerfully greets
"oh hey".I say with the same energy
"who got you in a cheerful mood".she whistled,tying her shoes
"Aren't I always in a good mood".I reply.My happiness level was above the sky,the thought of them not fighting again is simply amazing
"Nah".brie replied, bringing me back to earth
"what do you mean no".I pouted but even I knew the truth.I haven't been on my best lately.
she simply chuckled as a reply .There's my best friend for you,a radiating beam of light
I really am fortunate to have a best friend like her
"See you later".She waved,alerting me we've already gotten to school
"oh yeah ".I wave back and head to my classroom.
"Good morning ".I greet the teacher and head to my desk.
I open my journal and write boldly
NEXT YEAR I WILL BE THE SCHOOL'S PRESIDENT
"Wow seriously".I hear a voice behind me,the sweetest I've heard this morning
I turn back and there he is.The guy who won't get out of my head.I am not a sucker for love but when I do,I fall hopelessly and I think I'm in love with him
"Yes any problems?".I ask unconsciously whispering
"Not at all.As a matter of fact it's admirable".He craned his neck over her shoulder to take a better look
"Love your handwriting ".He added
"why thank you".she said,her cheeks flushing red.She could feel his cool breath on her neck and it was weird but in a good way.she has never felt this way before.
The bell rings signifying the beginning of first period
"well,talk to you during lunch".He waved with a smile on his face.First period was history which passed by in a breeze.she never understood why students should study their past... what for??
