Layla'sPOV.

"see you later" dany says. 

"you're not coming?" i ask.

"nope" he pops the 'p'. "gotta stay home and work on the 'plan'. can't really do that when teachers are hastling you about absent homework" he chuckles.

"didn't turn in your homework again?" 

"is that a question?" he raises an eyebrow at me.

"right" i nod and laugh. "I'll see you later" i say as i get out of his black BMW. 

"Derek won't be at school at all this week, so you don't really have to pretend here but don't let anyone else in on the plan. we don't want anyone to slip up and accidentally say the wrong thing and ruin everything" 

i nod. "got it. bye" i wave as he drives out of the parking lot. 

as i walk into school and to my locker, i hear Amber's voice shrill through the crowd. "Layla!" i turn my head to see her running to me, pulling Carson with her. 

"hey amber" i laugh at carson's face. i could tell she's been dragging him everywhere today. poor Carson. 

i get my books out of my locker and shove them in my bag.

"i didn't see you in physics" amber says.

"i don't have physics". i close my locker and turn to face her.

"yes you do" she nods. "derek changed your scedule"

"what? why!"

"becuase you to be in all his classes"

"but he was in my chemistry class. i like chemistry! why did he change it!?"

she shrugs. "i'll never understand him"

"ugh" i groan and lean against my locker. this boy will just not stop. 

"so why weren't you here earlier?"

"i was talking with dany and we lost track of time" i lie, shrugging.

"ooohhh. you were 'talking' " she giggles using air quotes.

"pa-lease"

"don't worry. i won't tell Derek" 

"actually, Derek was with us"

"oh layla!" she gasps. "i didn't know you were like that" 

"oh my god" i smack her arm. "pervert"

she giggles and Carson absently nods at my statement.

i laugh at how lost he looks. i wonder how long he's been with amber..

Derek told me that you don't start to recognise your mate's scent until you're sixteen but it looks like amber has been dragging him along everywhere with her for at least five years instead of one.

he just looks so oblivious to everything. 

poor guy. 

RRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGG

"See you later layla!" amber says as she turns away from me and pulls Carson through the crowd.

the small groan that grumbles in his throat causes a small chuckle to fall from my lips.

as i watch them disappear into a classroom i make my way to my own class. AP Calculus. 

~~~

"does anyone know the answer?" Mr. Kern asks.
