Admiring Who? {Short story} {On Hold}

Chapter 10~ Daniel

---------With Layla---------

''Are you guys in position? I'm already approaching some boys. They are pretty ugly, I don't think that they are the secret admirers.''

''Layla, just go for it. Talk to them, and get us some information. We are in position.''

''Okay, I will.'' After that, she proceeded to come nearer to a boy whom she'd never met before. He had hazel eyes, a tan complexion, and honey-colored,blonde hair. Once she was only a foot away from him, she waved her arms frantically and screamed,'' Hiyaaaaa! What's your name?''

The boy whipped around his head, revealing a scared expression. ''Who are you exactly? And, why are you talking to me? I don't even know you..''

''My name is Layla Johnson!'' She declared proudly, walking closer to him. ''I am talking to you because I have some questions that need to be answered. That's not too hard, is that?''
She smirked, knowing that he couldn't really argue with her statement.

''mmm..Okay..What are your questions?''

''Do you know a girl named Felicity by any chance?''
The boy's scared expression relaxed a bit,as he took a short breath he replied,'' I do...Why?''

''Well, I am her cousin. Do you have a crush on her... at all?'' At that comment, the boy suddenly tensed up and sweat started to fall from his forehead. After awhile of him not replying, Layla cleared her throat to regain his attention. ''Ehemm. Do yah? It's not like I am going to tell her, I just want to help her out in that department.''

''To be honest, I did a few months ago.. not really anymore though.''

''Hmmm okay..'' Layla mumbled lowly, deep in her thoughts. Unconsiously, she creased her forehead as she usually did when she thinks hard.

''Does your head hurt?'' The boy asked, his tone becoming softer than before.

''My head is fine! Lemme think!'' She growled, aggrivated that he had interrupted her thinking.

''Oh I didn't realize that you were thinking, sorry.''

''I'm already past my thinking stage, it's fine. What's your name?'' She pulled out her notebook, in which she had been writing down the boy's names and their answers to her questions.

''My name is Daniel.''
She wrote down his name quickly, said her goobyes, and then skipped happily away from him.
