Strawberry shortcake; Clifford [au] SLOW UPDATES

/Cinq/

School seemed to drag on, the ticking of the analog clock was the only thing distracting my thoughts.

"When will school end?" I mumbled to myself.

I desperately wanted to see Layla, boyfriend, or no boyfriend.

I've had a crush on her for god knows how long, yet I didn't know that her boyfriend was none other than Brad Jefferson.

He was one of the most popular guys at the school.

I groaned as the bell finally rung, dismissing us from one of the most boring lessons of science I've ever had.

"Michael! wait!" I heard Layla's sweet voice call out to me, once again, from the bustling crowd of students trying to make their way out of the horrible place we call school.

"Hey." she puffed when she finally reached me. "Sorry about before, I was thinking that we could catch up after school today, yeah?" She said a little too quickly, sounding a little flustered.

Why has she all of a sudden wanted to hang out with me?

"Sure." I nonchalantly replied, tried my best to seem like I didn't care that much.

You can do this michael, keep it cool.

"Awesome. Ya' know, I've wanted to be friends with you for ages, I guess you just seemed like a really cool person." She awkwardly giggled, diverting her gaze away from me and cringing.

Great, I'm officially friend zoned.

"Why didn't you just come up and talk to me then?" I questioned, letting out a light chuckle.

"Well, I guess I've just been too shy, plus, Brad can be very overprotective at times." She replied, deep in thought.

My thoughts were buzzing at her comment, but at least she thought about me somewhat I guess, and that's kinda cool. right?

"Then, what made today different." I questioned further, wanting to know every detail.

"I don't know Clifford." She mumbled, playing with the edge of her sweater.

It's weird how someone's mood can change so quickly, from bubbly, to awkward, to quite.

Maybe it was that time of the month.

"Well, we're friends now, so that's all that matters, right?" I tried to comfort Layla, not wanting to upset her further than I already have.

God how stupid can I get?

"Right." Layla replied, still slightly fiddling with her sweater sleeve.

The action looks strangely familiar to me.

That's when I suddenly remembered, my cousin used to do that when she self harmed.
