bad boy next door ↠ c.t.h

chapter 4

layla brown

by the time i tried to process everything, the doorbell suddenly rang startling me a bit. i ran downstairs, but my mom was already inside. "where's dad?" i asked her, "dad is running a little bit late, he'll be home soon" she told me. "i'm gonna go upstairs and get fresh, how about you order something, pizza?" "yeah sounds good" i grabbed the house phone and called the pizza place.

i sat down on the couch and turned onto a random channel playing 'FRIENDS'. after watching about three episodes the doorbell finally rang, and me, the lover of pizza, ran to the door almost crashing into it. the pizza guy handed me two boxes. "that'll be $22.99", i handed him the money and closed the door.

"mom the pizza's here!" i shouted to my mom. " i'm not hungry hon, you can eat!" she told me. i shrugged and grabbed a plate putting 2 slices. i set my food on my lap and watched more of 'FRIENDS'. as i was enjoying my food and show, my thoughts wondered off to the fact that calum hood, the guy i already hate with all my heart, lives next door.

hopefully he doesn't find out, cause he seemed like one of those guys who 'never stop until they get what they want' type. i finished my pizza and closed the TV to get ready for bed. i grabbed my phone to text chloe since i forgot to when i came home.

l- "hey chloe"
c-"hey layla! guess what, i'm gonna ask luke to tutor me in math tomorrow, but i need you to come with me"
l-"ugh fine but i'm just gonna stay in the back so i don't have to see that asshole"
c-"yeah yeah, wait which asshole?"
l-"you know who I'm talking about"
c- "ohh okkk. Sure fine"
l- "k, anyways I need to get to bed see you tomorrow x"
c- "k bye x"

i set my phone down contemplating over the fact if i should tell chloe about my little problem today or tomorrow (AN: you see what i did there;). i decided to just tell her tomorrow since i don't want her freaking out and just keep on talking. like i need my sleep. i went to brush my teeth, and changed my clothes. i went to my mom's room to tell her goodnight, but she wasn't there?

"mom!" i called her. i saw a note by her bed. "i got a call from work so me and your dad will be working late and will come home tomorrow afternoon, sorry i left without telling you it was urgent. i left money in the kitchen. sleep well I love you"

"god" i mumbled and threw the paper in the trash. i walked into my room and collapsed onto bed. curiosity got the best of me and i sat at the edge of my bed looking through the window next to my room. i couldn't really see anything so i just laid back down, and drifted off to sleep.

next morning
------
the bright sun shined directly on my face since my dumbass forgot to close the curtains last night. i groaned getting out of bed and lazily walking to my bathroom. i had half and hour to get ready so I showered and decided to do my hair in loose curls. i changed into my clothes and went downstairs.

i wasn't feeling hungry so i just grabbed my car keys, put on my shoes, and grabbed my backpack. as i was walking out i forgot that my mom left money in the kitchen. as i was running back to the house next door to ours door opened. a girl that looked a little bit older than me walked out and started yelling at someone.

"calum i swear to god if you don't get your ass out this door right now i'm going to leave you here!" as i smiled amused i realized that she said calum, meaning he can come outside and see me, which means he'll know I live here. i gasped and ran back inside my house grabbing the money my mom left. i looked outside the window, watching them get in the car and drift away. i breathed relieved that i didn't see him and walked back out to my car. i drove to school and parked my car in the parking area.

i saw chloe getting out of her car, so i speed-walked over to her. "chloe!" "layla!" we both said in unison. "you first!" i said. "ok, so there is basically nothing to say, instead, you're gonna come with me to ask luke for my tutoring" "seriously right now?" i asked, "yes now, get your ass moving" she grabbed my arm and we walked to luke and the others.

i stood behind chloe the whole time, while she asked him. "ok so today after school or.." chloe asked, "today it is" he smirked. i rolled my eyes and grabbed chloe's arm, dragging her away from them. "i swear if he's just like the other guys, i'm gonna kill him and you" "i told you, you've got nothing to worry about" she told me. "fine, let's just get inside" i said, and as i was going i looked back at the guys and saw calum staring right at me with a smirk. i rolled my
eyes and went inside the school.

"if you haven't pulled me away i could've had a full on conversation with him, you know how amazing that would be?!" she screamed at me. "yeah well you'll have plenty of talking to do at his house" "yeah about algebra and other shit that i don't get" she said in a low voice. i chuckled and walked over to my locker.

chloe was my only friend till now since all my old friends moved away from here, just like me, but sadly won't come back. "layla? layla? layla!?" chloe snapped me out of my thoughts. "huh yeah what?" "never mind, we're gonna be late for class" she said.

"yeah let's go" i said and we went to class.
----------
lunch came by fast and we split ways to go to our lockers. "meet me at our table" i told chloe, she nodded and i went to my locker. of course a person was leaned against it, as usual. "for god sakes my locker is not a fuxking place for you people to just lean against!" i screamed at the person. "yeah well i guess your locker is pretty comfortable to lean on" the devil himself spoke. "oh god" i scoffed. "i don't really get what your problem is with me babe" calum said with a grin, "first off, not your 'babe', second off, i don't really want to have a conversation with you right now so please just get your ass off of my locker"

he laughed. "i think it's reserved for now, you can come by later on" "god why the hell are you so fuxking annoying" i screamed and just stomped over to the lunch room. "what took you so long" chloe asked, "your 'crush's' damned friend is what took me so long" i scoffed. "ugh again?" "yes but i just want to forget about that, by the way when are you going to luke's house?" "after school probably" she told me.

"and are you sure you don't want me to come?" "yeah it's fine don't worry" she said and we finished our lunch.
-------------
"i'm so happy" chloe screamed, "same cause it's the weekend, but your happy for no reason" i said with a smile. "shut up don't ruin the moment" i laughed and walked to my car, "do you know his address?" "yeah he sent me it after me and you finished talking" i nodded and got inside. "good luck then" i said and drove away.

i got home and saw my parents sitting on the couch. "hey mom, hey dad" i said to them. "hey layla, hon we're gonna have guests over go upstairs and get ready" my mom said. "fine" i ran upstairs to my bathroom to take a shower. i took out my blue ripped skinny jeans, and grabbed a random shirt, which was a 'nirvana' crop top.

i wore my clothes and plopped onto my bed. shit i forgot to tell chloe about calum living next door to me. i decided to just text her later. "layla come downstairs" my mom called me and i went down to her.

"layla this is mrs.joy hood, and her son calum"
