My Enigma

The mall fiasco

         CH.3

"Ha ha ha. Wait wait wait. So then what happened?", Layla said barely breathing.

"There was people crowding to see if I can had died or passed out. There was this big lady who carried me to the front of the fair.bridal style. Where Owen picked me up. You know this is a serious matter.", I said.

"No of course Elijah's a total creep", Layla said now that she had stopped laughing.

I got up and got ice cream out the freezer.

"I would go that far but I don't know if I want to be around him anymore. Milkshake?",Layla nodded,"I mean sometimes I feel like he doesn't even like me. Plus his sister has a vendetta out for me."

I pause to let the blender run. I pour the chocolate milkshake in a cup and get a straw.

"You want me to feel him out for you.", Layla asked.

"I don't know. What are you going to say. So I heard you were a creep.", I said as I grabbed the french fries from the previous night and stick them in the microwave.

Layla laughs."Maybe. I'm kidding. Just ask him what's going on."

       I already have a chicken sandwich hot on a plate. So I take a few french fries and put on my plate next to my sandwich. The rest I put them on a plate. As I make a vanilla milkshake.

"Okay, but make it discreet."

      I let the blender run. Then I pour the vanilla milkshake in a different cup. I put a straw in it and bring it over. Layla spent a night over my house. This was her making it up to me. I missed our hanging out. We have some fun times together. I'm afraid once we go off to college that we will no longer be friends. That's why I want to share an apartment with her but she doesn't know the reason. You know we are juniors in high school so we don't have much time.

      Layla takes her french fries and dip them in her milkshake. I take my french fries and put in the middle of my sandwich.

"Are you parents asleep now?",Layla questioned me.

I looked my watch.

"They should it's 10:30."

"Can we watch a movie?"

"Go ahead their bedroom is on the second floor. Just low down the volume."

       Layla spends about a minute picking out a movie and then pops it in.30 minutes in the movie all the dishes washed,kitchen cleaned, and Layla knocked out. She is sleeping on the pull-out couch. I get my blanket and get comfortable on the recliner. In minutes I fall asleep.

     I open my eyes to sun shining directly in my eyes. I pull the cover over my head but does no good. I look to see Layla texting on her phone.

"My mom said she will pick me up at 5.", Layla said.

"Okay. It's 10 now. How about we eat breakfast and then my mom can take us to the mall".

"Okay".

We made french toast with eggs. Around 11:30 we got ready. I knock on my mom door.

"Mom, can u take us the mall?",I ask.

"Yes. In 10 minutes. I have to get some skirts anyways.", she responded.

My mom has some of the cutest shirts I've very seen. Sometimes I wear them to school. My mom loves Mariah Carey. So thats what the car ride to the mall was. We pull up to the mall and Emotion(italze) is playing. I say goodbye to my mom. We get out of the car and go separate ways. Layla leads me to a tea shop. Jade Empire.It had this old Chinese temple feel to it. They have everything from  Keemun tea  to Earl Grey Tea.
