Layla || P.JM ✔

15. Break a Leg!

"WAKE UP! WAKE UP, SLEEPY HEAD!"

Layla was sleeping peacefully... Until Jinny suddenly appeared from nowhere and started to shake Layla roughly.

Layla opened her eyes groggily. "Where did you come from?"

"Your mom let me in," Jinny said excitedly. Now that Layla was more awake, she noticed that Jinny was already dressed in black skinny jeans and a red top.

"Will you go like this to school?" Layla asked, her tone still sleepy.

"I will wear a jacket. Now wake up!"

"Just ten more minutes..." Layla murmured before pulling the covers over her head.

Jinny frowned in frustration. She pulled Layla's covers and pulled her from her leg until she fell on the ground.

"What the-"

"LANGUAGE!" Jinny shouted before Layla could swear. "C'mon. Go wash your face."

Layla went the bathroom and almost slept there, but Jinny kept knocking on the door, telling her to hurry up.

"THERE'S NOTHING TO HURRY UP FOR!" Layla shouted as the knocking increased.

"Yes, there is! I have to do your make-up, then do my own make-up."

Layla put on her white flannel pants and violet sweater. She felt reluctant as she put on her jacket.

Her stomach knotted as she thought of Ace. She wanted to cry, but she stopped herself. Instead, she hurried to Jinny's apartment, where Jinny impatiently waited for her.

"I can't believe you took all this time," Jinny complained, ignoring the look on Layla's face.

"What do you mean? I'm usually asleep at that time! You're the one who's up early."

"Because today is a special day." Jinny waved her hands as if glitter should appear magically out of them.

Layla rolled her eyes. She absolutely dreaded today.

"Now..." Jinny said calmly before pulling Layla abruptly on a chair and screaming, "Get you ass over here!"

"Jin! Calm down a bit!"

"I'll try."

Jinny worked for the next half an hour on doing Layla's make-up. Taehyung interfered a few times to make a comment about how Jinny was choosing the wrong colors and that "this would fit Layla better." Jinny grumbled something under her breath about the know-it-all thinking he's better than her.

The moment Jinny finished her own make-up and they were all ready, Taehyung drove them to school. Layla kept fidgeting nervously.

'It's gonna be okay. Seriously, I should stop over thinking!'

The school building looked normal from the outside; the only thing unusual was a banner on the school entrance on which the day's event was written. The inside, however, was completely different. There were balloons, paper decorations, and paintings everywhere.

The event was to take place in the huge homeroom. That's where Layla, Jinny, and Tae went. There were some tables where food was placed (Jinny had to be stopped from attacking the food).

Layla sat with her friends in one corner of the room, to leave space for others to work. After some time, Layla saw Jimin approaching them.

"Hey."

"Good morning to you, my lad," Jinny said in her excitement.

"Are you sure she didn't hit her head?" Jimin asked as he pointed at Jinny.
