Under The Sunset

7. What's got your panties in a twist?

LAYLA
"Oh my gosh... Children I've been worried about you. Why didn't you take your phones?" Mrs Smith said immediately we entered the house.

"Calm down mum. We're okay see?" Mikayla said, rolling her eyes.

"Don't scare me that way again Mikayla Heather Smith." Mrs Smith said, hands on hips.

"Ooohhhh.... She called the full name." I said in a hushed tone and Mikayla shot me a glare making me giggle.

"Sorry mother." She whispered looking down making Mrs Smith eyes soften.

"Just don't do that anymore baby girl. You know I love you okay?" Mrs Smith said making Mikayla nod.
Mrs Smith opened her hands wide and hugged Mikayla and Mikayla reciprocated happily.
I visibly awed.

"Awww.... Family reunion. So sweet." I whispered and they both looked at me.

"Come in here Layla." Mrs Smith said and I joined their hug.

"Now you too go sleep. You have school tomorrow." Mrs Smith said in a Stern tone, breaking the hug.
Ah that's the Mrs Smith I know.

"Yes ma'am." We said, saluting while she shook her head at our silliness.
We walked towards the stairs then started climbing it.

"Do you like Finlay?" Mikayla asked as we climbed the stairs.

"Huh.. no?" I said more like a question.

"He's just a friend I think." I quickly added.

"Are you sure? You guys were looking at each other with googly eyes tonight." Mikayla said as we opened the door of her room then entered.

"You're talking bout me and Finlay. What about you and Zaid?" I asked, hands on hips.
She turned crimson red at my question.

"Nothing?" She squeaked out.

"So you see." I said putting a hand on her shoulder "Let's get rid of this discussion and go to bed shall we."
I removed my hand then walked to her bed and slept on one side, dividing the bed into two with her pillows.

"You manipulator." She accused the laid on the other side.

"Sorry mother." I teased making her huff then she turned to the other side avoiding my face.
I laughed to myself then closed my eyes anticipating for sleep to come.
Soon, the darkness overcame me.

"Wake up." Someone said tapping my hand.

"Leave me alone." I mumbled then slapped the person's hand and turned to the other side.

"But today's Friday and work starts early on Fridays." The person tried to reason.

"I don't care." I said waving the person away.

"Fine then. I'll just text Finlay saying you love him." The person said and I opened my eyes wide.
I rolled to the side then fell off the bed only to hear Mikayla laughing.

"You bitch." I yelled then stood up in anger.

"Oh come on, shut up and go get ready, we have school today." Mikayla said then walked out.
I walked towards where I kept my bag then opened it. I carried my clothes and clean undies for today, the jean shorts, the top and the hoodie. I carried my toothbrush then walked into the bathroom.

I walked out with the dirty clothes in hand then dropped it into the bag.
I carried my backpack out of the bag.
I dressed and did my makeup then lip gloss and I was good to go.

"You rea— woah you look cute." Mikayla complimented making me chuckle.

"Thanks Kayla. You look hot." I said to Mikayla who flipped her hair.
