Admiring Who? {Short story} {On Hold}

Chapter five: Flip a coin dilemna

The girls headed back to Felicity's house and began to work out a solution.

"A key...huh?" Hannah mumbled, as she scribbled down something on a scrap piece of paper.

"Anyone need any drinks?" Felicity offered kindly. "We have fruit punch, chocolate milk, lemonade, and filtered water."

"I'll take a chocolate milk!" Layla declared loudly.

"Water is fine." Everyone else chimed.

"Of course you guys would say that. I'm the only one who likes sugar in this family. I guess I'll be a fruit loop in a world of Cheerios." Layla pouted.

"Coming right up." Felicity replies, ignoring Layla's rant of complaints. A minute later, she came back and gave everyone their drinks.

"Thank you, Felicity."

"You're welcome.. anyways, find any clues yet?"

"Not yet.. where do we go for a key? That's a bit hard.."

"Maybe its a metaphorical key." Layla surprisingly began adding.
"It could be that it's a key to another clue.. and we have to go to Davis's party this Sunday to find that out."

"Layla...I cant believe I'm saying this but... she might be right." Kierstein said in disbelief.

"Sounds good to me." Felcity said cheerfully, while she tucked her blonde hair behind her ear.

"I'll come in my brand new, sweet van." Hannah announced boldly.

"What do you mean, Hannah?"

"I just got a brand new van and I had the sides of it painted with the words: Awesome Blossoms."

"Oh boy." Jaylen facepalmed herself and then added," what are we going to wear?"

"Matching outfits!" Juliet suggested. "Pink dresses with ruffles and sparkles!"

"No! I will not wear pink!" Hannah declared, a bit aggravated. "Let's just wear a green or a blueish dress."

"Or we can just wear...jeans and a t-shirt...?" Jaylen asked carefully.

"We can all just wear different outfits." Kierstein suggested, full of hope.

"No!" Layla immediately shot down her idea. "We will wear matching dresses!"

"Ughh.." Juliet groaned.

"Flip a coin." Hannah said suddenly.

"Heads for Layla decides. Tails for one of us to."

"Unfair! But fine.."

"I'll flip it." Felcity grabbed the coin from her pocket and quickly flipped it. It spun for a little bit and then landed. Heads.

"Nooooo! Why did Layla have to winnnnn." Everyone groaned except for Layla.

"We will all be wearing pink dresses with sparkles pretty soon. I've been preparing this for five years now. In my closet are all the matching dresses." She pointed to the closet, and Juliet opened it up. When she opened the closet, there was over thirty of the same dress but in various sizes.

"What the heck..."

"That is dedication at its finest."
Layla boasted quietly.

"I guess we're doing this then."

"You bet!" Layla once again yelled with determination, as she winked at them. "See yah on the flip side."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Why are y'all so uptight? Live a little."

"No, we are doing just fine the way we are..."

"Okay, byeeee I'm going to go to the grocery store with Hannah and get some ice cream."

"When did I agree to th-"

"Just now." She replied, as she dragged Hannah out the front door. Everyone casted Hannah a pitiful look, and prayed that she would come back alive and unharmed. Then they all laughed and were happy that they weren't her.

"Have fun!"
