Layla Walker POV
"Layla? Layla? Layla?!, Sienna my best friend of three years called.
She had a caramel complexion with long curly hair and stood about 5'6 with a curvy shape. She was the blunt and sassy type but sweet when she wanted to be. She was my loyal ride or die, my sister.
"Huh? Sorry, I must've-"
"Been in la-la land again, yeah girl you were. I've been calling you for the last five minutes", Sienna stated in an annoyed tone.
"My bad girl, what is it that you needed", I asked.
"The presentation is starting soon, are you ready?", she questioned.

Layla POV Continued...
So you're probably wondering what has happened in the last few years.
Well for starters, after that night, I moved to Atlanta. I needed a fresh start, away from my old neighborhood, from my egg and sperm donors, and most importantly, away from the bad memories.
The fact that I was already accepted to Emory made my decision to relocate here easy.
As you may have noticed, I changed my name. I needed a new identity, after committing you know what, I couldn't walk around as a fugitive with the same name.
Not that the police are looking for me anyway. I doubt they care about the latest instance of black on black crime in the heights.
The cops back where I'm from are a bunch of corrupt bastards who do everything but protect and serve, at least that's true for folks in my neighborhood.
Anyways, you can never be too careful so I decided to change my name. I am no longer Angelina Celeste Howard, but Layla Brielle Walker.
I didn't change my name just for legal reasons though. I didn't want to be Angel anymore.
