Layla P.O.V

It was finally the weekend.

The sun shone brightly through my pale blue curtains, as I stared at the beams of light that spouted beautifully all around my room.

I smiled knowing that today was going to be one of the good ones.

I almost skipped down the narrow staircase still in my pyjama shorts which, may I add were the very definition of short shorts, paired with my baggy oversized fluffy jumper.

Basically making me look half naked.

I shrugged to myself, no one was home anyway so it didn't really matter how I looked. My feet led me to the kitchen where I immediately plugged my iPhone into the surround sound and started to blast out my music.

Mr. Brightside blasted as my hips swayed and shook with every beat of the song.

I laid out all the ingredients for pancakes and smiled excitedly to myself as I opened the eggs ready to start making some delicious fluffy goodness.

Although, just as I was pouring in milk, a loud knocking sound echoed from the front door.

I momentarily stared at it in confusion. Then stumbled over to it to investigate who would be here. It was only ever my mum, and she was at work.

I swung the door wide open, to my surprise, revealing a very amused looking smirk...

You guessed it, the one and only Jaymes Parker...

On my doorstep.

'What in Daniel Radcliffe's name are you doing here?!" I exclaim. Utterly shocked.

Why is he here?
What does he want?
How the hell does he know where I live?

'Calm down. I can see that little brain of yours working a mile an hour' He laughed.

'So you just came here to insult me?' I scoffed

'No, I came here to do our project? You know the one that's due in a week' He spoke as if I was a three year old asking about quantum physics.

'You know it's common courtesy to ARRANGE a time and place to work,' I almost yelled 'Not just turn up at their house unexpectedly and expect them to be fine with it!'

'Can I please come in? It's kinda cold out here being October and all'

I glared but reluctantly moved aside allowing him into my home.

'How did you even know where I live' I asked the question that burned my mind.

'I Facebook stalked you duh'

'What?!' My eyes bulged as a thousand thought spun round my head. My address in that easy to find?!

I ran to my phone that was still in the kitchen, and started scrolling my profile trying to find where this information was shown.

It was only then that I notice the stupid smug boys face, as he burst into a fit of laughter.

'I was only kidding! I just asked Mia,' he said still chuckling 'She gave it up way too easy'

'She probably found you attractive' I mumbled to myself. Feeling a weird pang in my stomach as I said it.

'Huh? What did you..' He replied but quickly got distracted by my half finished work of art from this morning 'Pancakes?'

'Yeah, I didn't get chance to finish before you so rudely interrupted' I fake scoffed.

'How incredibly rude of me indeed, we must finish them then...' a look of mischievousness flashed in his eyes as he said it.

This was going to be a long ass day...

————————————————————————

"Okay, sit down" I pointed to my bed and carried on with what I was doing.

"Whatever you want Princess" he said with a wink.

I internally scoffed.

After lots of yummy pancakes and a few big messes, we headed up to my room...

No it's not what you're thinking you filthy minded people!

We were finally ready to start the project.

I went to my draw and pulled out the dark grey folder containing our project, then walked back to where Jaymes now perched on the end of my bed.

Mr.Blake had given us each a folder containing the aspect of the project we were suppose to cover.

Me, being my procrastinating self, hadn't even bothered to open it.

I slid the paper cover off the file to reveal the words of our first task...

'Getting to know you'

"Your task as a pair is to ask, answer and find out more about each other. Ask a minimum of 15 questions and write a report on your fellow classmate which you will read out to the whole class.

You have 6 weeks to complete and write the report. "

My eyes went as wide as craters. I had to write a report...

... on Jaymes.
