Hello, my name is Lyla

F I V E: Chimichangas are the way to my heart

"I still can't believe this, am I dreaming Maggs?" I asked. "Let's be honest, this have to be a dream! I've been dreaming about that guy the last 8 years of my life and yesterday he asked me to be his girlfriend and this strange, brave Lyla possessed me last night so now I'm afraid of going to school on Monday just to realize that everything is just a dream." 

"We all knew that this day was going to arrive sooner or later... Just that it was later than we expected." Maggs answered. 

"Yeah, such an idiot." 

"But now, he is YOUR idiot." My best friend raised her eyebrows as I giggled with her comment.

The morning after my birthday Maggs and I woke up to an ice cream hangover, if that exists. We spent part of the night with my mom who stayed to hear how "her baby is a grown up", in her own words and then Maggs and I stayed almost all night long talking about the details of the evening, watching movies and eating. Now, 3 o'clock in the afternoon we're still in pyjamas eating pizza. She's been having a good time making fun of my "brand new Lyles" (you know, the brave one who kisses guys on her birthday just because she wants to) just when I remember that she was looking at Marcus with puppy eyes the entire night.

"So" I started "Marcus was a big surprise last night don't you think? Being normal and behaving as the grown up teenager he's supposed to be."

"Yeah, sort of. It was nice to see that he can behave as a regular human being." She said casually but she forgot whom she was talking to.

"I know you way before I stopped using two pony tails. You like him, right?"

She sighed as she took another slice of pizza. "He is so stupid and weird, he makes this pathetic comments all the time and he makes me laugh so much! Of course I like him."

"We have to do something about it." I said grabbing my phone.

"No we don't." She said almost yelling. "Sorry, is just that I don't think it will work."

"He likes you! We both know that since 1st grade."

"Marcus is dating one of Camilla's friends. Alexa I think."

"Oh babe, I'm so sorry." I hugged her while she kept eating her pizza. "I can kick his ass on Monday if you want."

"Thanks Lyles, but on Monday you have some other stuff to take care of, like finishing the day alive."

We spent the rest of the evening talking about how Camila may react to my relationship with John. Is she going to throw a tantrum? Will she try to kill me? Will she cry?

As I was watching Love, Rosie on Netflix after Maggs went home (Sam Claflin, marry me please), I got a text from my boyfriend. Read that giggling.

John <3:

I finally sent Marcus away from me, I secretly believe that he likes gossip as much as girls do. How's your day going? Is it cheesy to say that I miss you?

So as Brave Lyla emerged, he created Cheesy John.

Me:

Definitely cheesy, not that I care because I miss you too. My day is as normal as a post birthday saturday can be, I may or may not have eaten all the existences of ice cream in a 3km ratio and obscene quantities of pizza. How you doin? Besides Marcus being a girl.

John <3:

My day is as normal as a post amazing day with my girlfriend can be. So, now that I know that you have eaten all the ice cream in a 3km ratio, can I offer you some chimichangas and some Harry Potter movies tonight? I may or may not be on my way to your place.
