She’s my everything - S01 E03

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 3

Also, she’d discovered if she didn’t respond to anyone, they’d get bored and move on to another target.

Whenever she saw bullying happen, she did intervene because she couldn’t stand others to get hurt.

Blue grabbed her arm. “I’m talking to you, Laylah.”

“Yes, I know and I’m … dealing with that. I am.” She blew out a breath.

“I need to get to class, and I appreciate the offer I do, but no, thank you.”

Cringing at her response, she quickly ducked under his arm and entered English class, where John waited for her.

Becky had a different lesson this period. They tended to stick together.

Right now, there wasn’t exactly a whole lot of sticking. She sat down and kept her gaze away from the main door.

“What’s up with you?”

Glancing over at John, she forced a smile to her lips.

“Er, I’m not exactly sure.” She pinched her arm and winced.

John frowned. “You know that’s strange.”

“I think Blue Jones just asked me on a date.” She tried to whisper.

“Really?”

She stared at John as he started to look for Blue and she grabbed his arm, tugging him to focus on her.

“Stop that.”

“Oh, come on, this is way too good. You know that.”

“Stop it. You’re not funny.”

“He’s looking at you. I mean really looking at you, and the dude has this giant frown on his face. Wait a minute, you turned him down, didn’t you?”

She took a deep breath. “It’s not against the law to say no.”

“Have you seen that guy?”

“Yes, I’ve seen him.”

“Then you and I both know it should be a sin to deny him.”

“John, stop it.”

If he kept on going, she wasn’t going to be able to stop laughing.

“Babe, I’m a heterosexual and even I’d go out with the guy.”

She rolled her eyes. “It’s some kind of joke.”

John looked toward Blue, and much to her surprise, he’d actually dropped down on the table behind her.

“I don’t think it’s a joke,” John said.

“Whose side are you on?” she asked.

“Your side, but if you’re being a royal pain in the arse, I’ve got to, you know, tell you.”

John cleared his throat and she turned to see him holding a note that clearly came from Blue.

She took the note.

Why won’t you go out with me?

She wrote back: There’s no law that says I have to.

She turned and slid the note back to him.

The teacher started the lesson and she expected that to be over.

Seconds passed.

John slid the note back to her.

Staring at it, she took a breath, and reached for it and opened it up.

There’s no law that says so but I promise you it’ll be a good time.

Rather than respond, she folded the note and continued to listen to the teacher.
