A Million and One Ways My Life Sucks by Laura Amanda McConnell
Chapter One: Three Witches & One Hottie
"MOM!" Sixteen-year-old Lester Harding yelled all the way from the basement, "WHERE THE HELL IS MY TIE!"
"UNDER YOUR BED!" Twenty-five-year-old Sandy Sanchez yelled back.
"IT IS-" Lester started to yell back but then look under his bed & discovered that his red tie WAS under his bed, "THANKS MOM!"
Sandy rolled her eyes. It was the first day of school for her two kids, Layla & Lester Harding.
Kether came downstairs & wrapped his arms around her waist & began to kiss her.
"Good morning." Sandy said.
"Hey." Kether said.
"DAD!" Fifteen-year-old Layla Harding yelled from upstairs, "WHERE IS MY MINISKIRT?"
"UNDER YOUR T.V!" both Kether & Sandy shouted.
They heard several crashes & then a "THANKS!" from their teenage daughter moments later.
Fifteen minutes later Layla & Lester were downstairs. Here's what they looked like:
Lester had short-ish blonde hair & was wearing a pair of black jeans & a white blouse shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had Sandy's beautiful green eyes & he was wearing a pair of black shades.
Layla had long-ish black hair with bangs swept over to one side & had Kether's dark brown eyes. She was wearing a black blouse & a pair of black jeans. She had black Vans & was wearing some eyeliner & had black fingernail polish.
"Don't you two look so cute on your first day of school?" Sandy said, hugging both her teens.
"M-OM!" they both said simultaneously.
Kether couldn't help but laugh, leaning on the rail for support.
"Go on," Sandy said, "You don't want to be late for your first day of school!"
"Yes we do." Layla replied.
Sandy laughed. "Have fun." She kissed both of them on the cheek & shoved them out the door.
"Finally." She said, wrapping her arms around Kether & kissing him.
Ahem… meanwhile with Lester & Layla…Layla walked to school with Lester but as soon as he saw a pretty girl…
"SeeyalaterLay,Iwannagotalktotheblondechick!" was the last thing she heard from him before he'd ran off to chat up a pretty blonde chick who smiled at him.
She sighed & pulled her I Wanna Be Suicidal (her favorite band ever!) bag closer to her. But then…
"OMG! BRITTANY!" she yelled, engulfing her best friend in a hug.
"Layla!" the girl called Brittany squealed.
"It's been forever!" Layla exclaimed.
Brittany giggled. "Lay," Brittany said, "It's been two days!"
Layla couldn't help but laugh also & pushed her hair out of her face.
But then a motorcycle pulled up & the rider got off, taking off his helmet & Layla began to stare dreamily.
The guy who got off was fifteen, almost sixteen, & had long golden blonde hair that he had back in a loose ponytail & golden brown eyes. He was wearing two golden hoop earrings in his left ear with emeralds in them. As for his clothes… he was wearing a black leather jacket, some kind of leather pants, & a black shirt. He was Shadow & Pashmina Strider's son. Todd.
"Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" Brittany said, waving her hand in front of her face.
Layla snapped out of her dreamy trance & tore her eyes away from Todd. "What the hell did you do that for?" Layla asked.
"What the hell did you do that for, just when I thought I was over you!" Brittany began singing I Wanna Be Suicidal's 'What The Hell Did You Do That For?'.
"Shut up, Brit!" Layla said, hitting her in the arm with her bag but then her eyes narrowed into slits. The witches had arrived.
A blonde stepped out of her convertible poshly, with a pretty brunette on the left & a pretty Asian girl on the right. They all walked in step on the side walk, all wearing too much jewelry & too much make-up.
They were supposedly the cool glam girls in school but Layla detested them! Here's who they were:
The Asian girl was Lei. She was just so pretty with her short, perfect black hair & striking hazel eyes. She was wearing a blue Kimono-ish corset top & a black mini skirt & black high-heels. She was wearing loads of blue eye shadow & eyeliner & red lipstick & her fingernails were painted electric blue. She was very pretty but could be fierce when messed with.
The brunette was Beyonce. She had gorgeous long brown hair & brilliant chocolate brown eyes that you could melt in. She was wearing a pink off the shoulder crop top & a pair of white jeans with her hair tied up in a ponytail. Layla had to admit she looked striking. She was wearing a lot of pink eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, & lipstick. She was pretty but had to be one of the snobbiest sluts in school.
And who could forget Cynthia? The leader. She had blonde hair that she had kept down today & she had the bright aqua blue eyes that Layla envied greatly. She was wearing a purple tube top, a purple mini skirt, & purple flip flops. She was wearing purple eyeliner, eye shadow, & some purple lipstick. She was the hottest girl in school & the major heart-throb with her two partners in crime with her, spraying her hair with hairspray. She also liked Todd. Layla hated her more then anyone.
"Look who it is!" Cynthia said, "The freak!" she was talking about Layla.
Layla got flames in her eyes & a bus drove by, splashing mud all over Cynthia's flip flops.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she shrieked at the top of her lungs causing Brittany & Layla to double over in laughter. Todd smiled slightly causing Layla's heart to beat out of her chest. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?" she demanded & called Layla a bad name.
"Nothing." Layla said, laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Lei said, rushing to her aid.
"Her!" Brittany supplied for Layla.
Todd walked inside & Layla rushed after him, maybe a bit to eager-ly for she crashed into him, knocking him to the ground. But she fell on top of him. In a very awkward position.
Layla's nose was touching his she had one hand on his shoulder & the other by his head, & he had one hand on her chest & the other on her leg.
"Can you… get off of me?" he asked her.
Layla blushed furiously & attempted to stand up, but slipped & fell on the floor. She blushed even worse! How embarrassing! The first day of school & she'd gone & fallen on her butt in front of her crush.
Lei, Beyonce, & Cynthia were all in hysterics of laughter of course.
"Later, loser!" they all said, simultaneously, walking down the hall in suit.
Layla hung her head, her eyes looking teary.
Brittany put her arm around her friend's shoulders. "Dun let them get to you Lay." She told Layla & the two girls walked to class.

In class, their math teacher was rambling on endlessly & everyone was practically falling asleep. Layla was sitting there staring at Todd in her own little world.
"Miss Harding! Are you going to answer the question or am I going to have to repeat it for the fifth time while you continue to gawk at Mr. Strider?" their teacher asked.
Layla's mouth dropped open & she blushed a REALLY deep shade of red. She did not just say that. Layla thought, horrified. Everyone was laughing especially Beyonce, Lei, & Cynthia. And Todd… he was just sitting there smiling. Probably thinking, 'Wow! What an idiot!' Layla thought.
"Well?" the teacher asked, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Can you please repeat the question?" Layla mumbled to the floor.
She sighed impatiently & said, "Pay attention this time. This is a logic question, something you're notorious for being unfamiliar with. Now then, if all woozles are wamzels, all wamzels are weasels, and no weasels are wooples, then does that mean a) all weasels are wooples, b) all wamzels are wooples, c) all woozles are weasels, or d) no weasels are woozles?"
Layla blinked. "Uh… what?"
The teacher groaned & rolled her eyes. "Miss Rodriguez, can you answer it since Miss Harding seems to be in her own world."
"It's C." Cynthia said proudly.
"Exactly." The teacher smiled, "Good job Miss Rodriguez."
Layla put her head on the desk wishing she could go & hide under it. Or that she could just erase everyone's memory. She was probably the coolest guy in the world's daughter & she was a disgrace.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"That was so embarrassing." Layla said while her & Brittany stood in line for lunch.
Brittany gave her a sympathetic smile.
"I know." Brittany said, "Cynthia is just freaking evil!" she scoffed, "It's surprising she's not related to that Maxwell dude."
Maxwell was a guy that Layla's parents knew when they were her age. Sandy, her mom, actually used to date him… until she met Kether, her dad, & fell in love with him. But then Maxwell tried to kill Kether & attempted to rape Sandy when Kether was in New York but Shadow Strider saved her & she cheated on Kether with Shadow. But she broke-up with Shadow & went back with Kether. Then Maxwell kidnapped her & Shadow & Kether saved her & killed Maxwell.
But that was a long time ago. She assured herself. Maxwell had no evil relatives… did he? No! Now she was just being plain silly.
"Move it you freak!" Beyonce said from behind her.
Layla glared at her threw her hair & all of a sudden the broccoli & cheese exploded all over her. And Lei & Cynthia who were right behind them.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!" they all shrieked & ran from the room.
Brittany & Layla fell over laughing & Layla looked up just in time to see Todd smile at her.
She fainted.

"How was school today?" Lester asked.
"It sucked." Layla said, putting her IWBS (I Wanna Be Suicidal) bag on the chair & collapsing on her beanbag.
"It sucked?" Lester asked.
"Majorly." Layla groaned, "How was it for you?"
"Pretty cool." Lester said, "I met a couple guys… & I met a girl that was really friendly & pretty. Her name was Eliza."
Layla shrieked & fell off her beanbag causing Lester to jump five feet back from the doorway.
"As in Eliza Strider?" Layla shrieked.
"I think so, why?" Lester asked.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOD!" Layla shrieked, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"What?" Lester asked.
"She's Todd Strider's sister!" Layla said, jumping up & down.
"Who?"
"TODD STRIDER! HE'S ONLY THE HOTTEST GUY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!"
"So? Big whoop, he has a sister!" Lester commented, "La-dee-dah!"
"But she likes you!" Layla said, "And you like her!"
"And?"
"You HAVE to invite her over, Les!"
"What?" Lester asked, taken aback.
"So Todd will come over?" Layla asked, "PLEASE?"
"Well… maybe." Lester said. But he couldn't deny to himself that he couldn't get Eliza Strider out of his head.
