Layla's Outfit for the Gala🔝
"Conejita! Can you come downstairs please," my mother yells from downstairs.
I sigh tiredly, setting my pencil down onto the math worksheet I've been working on for the past half an hour.
"Coming!" I yell to my mom, exiting my dark purple themed room. Running down the stairs, I arrive in the kitchen and see my mom in a red apron stirring a pot of something that smells heavenly. "What's up?"
"Your brother needs help in the garage," she says while walking over to the spice drawer.
"Momma," I whine. "Can't dad do it?"
"Your father is at the store grabbing me some ingredients for tomorrow's dinner."
"But, momma!"
"No buts! Get out there and help your brother or you're going to be grounded from everything!"
"It's not like there's much to ground me from, we aren't allowed to have phones or be outside for more than a couple of minutes," I mutter under my breath.
"Hey, you know the reason why we can't be outside for long, you don't get to use that against me."
"I know, I'm just tired of never being able to make friends and moving so often."
"I know Conejita, how about tomorrow you and I go get some Horchata?"
"Really ma? That would be awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"No problem," she says, smiling at my eagerness. "Now go outside and help your brother before I change my mind."
The memory fading from my tired mind, I wake up to golden rays spilling into my room, leaving a gorgeous hue on the walls. I check my phone and see it's only around 7 o'clock. I sigh, standing up and heading to the bathroom. Finishing up a quick morning routine I realize I have class today. Feeling relieved that I woke up in time, I get dressed in whatever is closest to me.
I take my pills with some coffee to wash it down. Checking my appearance one last time, I grab my bag, ID, and coffee cup. While walking out the door, I take extra care to make sure I lock it and get in my car, making my way to the university.
Once I arrive, I leave my handgun in my center console, opting for a simple multi-tool. I walk towards my class, using some earbuds to listen to music. I sit down quickly, rubbing my temples tiredly.
I can't help but feel irritated when David doesn't show up. He is, after all, the only reason I'm coming to these classes.
Most of the day passes by in a flash, and before I know it it's already five o'clock. I decide to start getting ready for the Gala now, just so I won't be worried about time.
After nearly two hours of waxing, hair, makeup, and doing the finishing touches, I'm finally ready. I strap a tactical knife to the inside of my right thigh and strap my handgun to my calf, making sure it's completely concealed.
Taking my current car, I head to my personal garage. Pulling in, I park the modest Honda Civic, and walk over to my BMW.
"Ugh, I missed you," I groan, walking over to my car and quite literally hugging the front.
Getting in, I smooth my hands over the surface and start the car. She instantly roars to life and I pull out of the garage, noticing how much easier it is then in the Honda Civic. I grab my clutch and pull up the address onto my GPS.
