Lucky Me

Chapter 4

Mia walked into class in her cheer uniform as always but she looked happier than usual. I wonder what she's up to. "Hey Mia!" I say.

"What do you want?" she says

"Nothing. I just want to know why your so happy." Giving her a big fake smile.

"Oh. You didn't know?" She said with a even look on her face.

"No. What's going on?" I ask as nice as I can.

"Oh well seems like your family isn't doing so good." She said looking at me with a smirk.

"Wh-what?" I said scared of what she might say.

"Yeah. Your mom lost her case" she said looking at me.

"Wh-what?!? That's impossible!!!" I say.

"She lost her case!" She said super slow. "Did you understand that?"

"Shut your face Mia. No one wants to hear your annoying voice." A voice behind me said.

It was Bret.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

"Mom never loses a case."

"We all know that. Maybe something happened. You don't know. We will figure it out." he said.

"Okay. I'm gonna skip. I'll see you later." I said.

"Don't get caught."

With that I left.

-a few hour later-

"LAYLA?"

"LAYLA?"

I heard my name be yelled so many times. It sounded like they were looking for me.

"WHAT?!?" I yell.

"Your going to be late to practice." My dad said to me.

"I'm not going to have practice today. I'm canceling it." I tell him.

"Okay. Bye honey. I have to go to the office for a while. Your mom is..." he stopped for a minute. "She's at work. Trying to find out what happened." he finally said.

"Okay. Bye dad."

With that he left.

I went to Jacobs house. He was at practice but I went in and laid on his bed. Waiting for him. Then before I knew it I was asleep.

I woke up to someone laying next to me. It was Jacob. I looked at the time it was 5:30 am Friday. We had school today. I sighed and got up. But I realized I stayed all day at Jacobs house sleeping. I need to go in a run or something. With that I got up put on a pair of Jacobs sweatpants and a shirt and went for a run. Right when I was close to the park I got a call. The caller ID was Jacob.

"Hey. What's up?" I ask him.

"Where are you?"

"I went for a run. I needed to clear my head."

"Why? What's wrong babe?"

"My mom lost her case. She never loses. I need to investigate what happened."

"Okay babe. Just don't get caught or in trouble."

"I won't. Anyways I'm almost back. I'll go to your house and we can make out or something before school starts."

"Okay. I'll be waiting." He said.

"Bye"

"Bye"

With that I sprinted back to his house.
