Hi! I'm Layla, and first i'll tell you a little about my life :)
I'm 18, just finished high school and am looking for a roommate to live with for college. Not a lot of my friends are going to the same college as me. In fact, none of them are.
Except for one guy. His name is nick, I only met him beginning of senior year when we had art class together first semester. I heard he's going there through some people but I haven't talked to him.
We only talk here and there anyway, send memes to each other and message sometimes about our high school, or we used too.
Now it's summer and my two friends, (more like my only friends) paige and aliyah invited me to a graduation party. It's not hosted by our high school or anything, just another excuse for the kids here to get drunk.
I live in manhattan, new york, and I honestly hate it here. You'd think it would be so fun but since I don't drink or smoke and don't see the point in meaningless hook ups, I don't go out much. I know there's other things people do for fun here, but the people at my high school seem to not do literally anything else.
Since paige and aliyah are those types of people, they go out a lot and really want to me to go with them to the party. What's the worst that could happen? I'll go, I think I need to break out of my "shell" before going to college anyway.
Oh and I have no love interests in my life, I've never experienced it so I don't feel like i'm missing out on anything. I depend on paige and aliyah to keep me happy, which isn't good, I just don't like being alone which i'll have to be in college if I don't find a roommate, and quickly.
It's funny how life works, it's like it wants to tear us from the things we love most.
But I wouldn't know.
Sometimes I wish I didn't have anxiety, that's another reason I don't go out much. Thinking of the loud music and lots of people intoxicated at parties just scares me for some reason.
But then again, I should go because yolo right?
And I want to make the most out of my life.

layla on the phone with paige;
"Layla, please wear a pretty dress, you'll look so hot!" paige encourages me through the phone since she knows I hate dresses. I like skirts though, but I think dresses show more of my skin, my arms, my back, which I usually cover up with clothes that are 3 times my size.
"I can't just wear a sweater and a skirt?" I ask, fighting her.
"I don't care anymore, just put whatever or we'll be late!! me and aliyah are almost outside your house."
And with that, paige hung up the phone quickly and I just took the opportunity to put on a cute outfit that I actually liked;

(I KNOW ITS SUMMER FOR THEM JUST IGNORE THE SNOW LMFAOOA)
Some people say I look emo or whatever, but I don't care honestly I like the way these clothes look. I'm trying to not care about other people's opinions so much, because if I did then I wouldn't really be living my own life.
I heard a knock out my door so I got my small leopard bag to keep my phone and lip gloss in, and headed out to aliyah's car.
