Layla Wilkes

I'm sick of waking up at six o'clock in the morning everyday.

With only about five hours of sleep, I stare up at my ceiling not having enough energy to lean over and turn my alarm off.

As the sound goes on, I huff out of frustration before finally pressing the stop button at the bottom of my screen.

I wish it was how it was before where I could just swipe right but I updated my phone to iOS-10 sadly. (that bms every morning)

Now that the sounds off, I snuggle up under my cover again out of habit and find myself nearly dosing off, but a voice woke me up not long after.

"Baby," I hear a low lazy call and I know it's coming from my phone.

"Baby, wake up," I hear Chris again in a drowsy, sleepy tone.

I roll my eyes in annoyance at the fact that it was something else keeping me from sleeping, but then I have the urge to comment on his voice and how cute he sounds.

"I'm up. Leave me alone," I mumble as I finally look up at the ceiling again.

"Aight smart ass," I hear shuffling and then a pause before a loud yawn.

"I'm tired of this shit," he mutters almost inaudibly and still without moving at all, I say back, "Same."

There's a moment of silence as always as I have to process being awake while Chris is always daydreaming before getting up and ready.

"Get up, Layla."

"I'm about to." I pause and then as I finally sit up, I groan.

Not long after that, I finally get up and go about things as usual.

By 7:20ish, Chris came to get me and we were to school way earlier than we needed to be so to waste time we stayed in his car.

"Not having any classes with you again is boring," I complain from beside Chris.

Chris chuckles in response before saying back to me, "It's funny as hell hearin' you say that cause last time we had separate groups it's either you didn't wanna know I existed anymore or you really did hate my ass like you made it seem."

I only chuckle in response not wanting to be reminded of how childish he always makes me sound when mentioning it.

"The fact that I was so serious and you think it was a joke..." I trail off.

"It's funny as hell. Ion care," Chris blatantly laughs not caring at this point while I just sigh while looking down at my phone.

Not long after we were sitting in silence, Chris snatches my phone out of my hand.

"You all in ya phone when the only person you should be all into talking to on there right next to you."

"You see.. I would talk to you, but you ke-," I started to respond, but the opening of the back door shut me up and my speaking was replaced by Jaylen's.

"What's good wit' y'all?" He speaks loudly as usual like it isn't nearly eight o'clock in the morning and it's normal for someone to have this much energy so early in the day.

"We chillin' nigga," Chris looks back at him while handing me my phone back. "I'm confused on how you just up and hop in my car, though."

Jaylen sucks his teeth at Chris' words before looking my way.
