AN: Hahaha, I left off with a cliffhanger on the last chapter! 3
Disclaimer: I do not own ½ Prince. ½ Prince belongs to Yu Wo.The voice of my mother nearly made me drop my phone.
"Hello, mom." I managed to squeeze out.
"I called to make sure you were alright. Your father is worried, you know. You lived with us your whole life and then you run off to live on your own the first chance you get." She said in a mocking voice.
Of course I would run off. My father sexually harasses my mother and my mother abuses me. Everyone vents their frustration on something.
I don't have anything to vent on.
Everything just bottles up, ready to explode.
"I'm perfectly fine. I have to get to my part-time job. I work at a bakery. I'm using my pay there and the money I saved up from my allowance and my part-time job from when I was living with you. You know me, the money-saver!" I pretended to laugh.
"Alright, honey. I'll call you same time tomorrow, then!" She hung up the phone.
The time was 8:30 am. So even on days when I don't have work, I'll have to get up early? That's just annoying.
I arrived at the bakery a second early. I checked in, and began my shift. I worked from ten in the morning until three in the afternoon. I get to be surrounded by cakes all day! On my lunch break, I went out to buy Chinese food at the nearest place I could find.
I must admit, I'm an addict to sesame chicken and lo mein noodles.
So not ten minutes after I'm back at work, and Sam happens to walk into the store.
Yes, the extremely good looking yet irritating elf thief has walked into the bakery.
Where I work.
"Hello, sir, can I get you anything?" I asked, playing 'Operation Normal.'
"Uh, yeah. Do you sell red velvet cake here?" He replied nervously.
"Yes, but I'm afraid we're sold out at the moment. The next batch will be ready in five minutes. Would you like to wait until then, or buy a different cake?" This was nothing but the truth. I wanted him out of there as soon as possible. Hurry up, red velvet cake!
"I'll wait thanks." I muttered under my breath about how irritating he is.
"Excuse me, but you look familiar. Do you play Second Life?" He asked me after a few minutes. Hah, I can lie smoothly.
"Video games are for kids. Besides, I don't have enough time to waste." Pure. Lie. I have WAY too much time on my hands.
"Oh.. Sorry." He sounded rather disappointed.
"Layla!" The baker in the kitchen called me. "The red velvet is ready! Pick it up!"
"'Kay!" I yelled over my shoulder. I got the tray out and placed the cakes on display. Except for one.
"Would you like something written in icing?" I asked, pausing before placing the cake in a box.
"No, but thanks for the offer." He smiled flirtatiously at me. No. Just no.
I placed the cake in the box and slid the box over the glass counter.
"That would be fifteen dollars and fifty cents." He handed me a ten, a five, and a one. I placed it into the register and I handed him two quarters. 'Get lost already..' I whispered under my breath.
"My name's Sam. I moved here recently and I'll be attending R University." I nearly fell over. He's going to attend the university I'm also going to go to? Noooo! I inwardly sobbed.
"I'm Layla. I'll also be attending R University." I smiled sheepishly. Times like these I am grateful for being in Drama Club all throughout high school. Acting skills. Yes.
"Really? I'm majoring in English Literature and my minor is chemistry."
"I'm majoring in Earth Sciences and my minor is English Literature." Another inwardly sob.
"Awesome! I might be in the same class as you!" He grinned and walked out the door after turning to wave goodbye first.
I wish I could call a hitman.
AN: I'm really sorry for those people who thought I uploaded a new chapter. I actually deleted chapter two and reposted it. The delete was accidental of course. To make up for it, I'm uploading chapter three! Yes, it's really short. I'm sorry for that. But this is my small apology. My favorite part about this chapter was when Sam mentioned his major and minor. It's a good thing Layla doesn't hate him enough to actually FIND a hitman.
Reviews? Please? I'll give you a hug! :o
