I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
Layla walked back into her room with a big smile on her face after her brief walk with Cody. Michelle walked out of the bathroom, stunned.
"Lay?" She asked.
Layla took off Cody's jacket and placed it on her bed. "Yeah?"
"Cody's jacket? Check you out!"
Layla giggled. She was getting really close to Cody. She shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing. "He told me to hang on to it."
"Good thing Kelly isn't here."
"I know!" Layla groaned. "She went crazy when she saw my shirt!"
Michelle rolled her eyes. "It's her fault. Sooner or later Cody is going to realize how horrible she is."
Layla nodded as she collapsed into her bed. She rolled over onto her side, facing the wall, and began to question what she was doing. Is it really okay for me to just steal Kelly's man? They are still dating and I don't want to be the other woman…but Cody. He's just so…amazing.
Maryse was bundled up in her red blanket, about to fall asleep, when her phone started to vibrate. She moaned while she reached out and grabbed her cell phone. It was Mike calling her and she was not in the mood to talk, especially to him. She placed the phone back on her night stand and tried to fall asleep again. Soon the vibrating stopped and a little beep rang. The beep indicated that Mike left a voice mail and Maryse decided to see what he had to say.
"Hey Maryse, it's me, Mike. I really need to talk to you. Listen…I'm sorry. I don't want to force myself on you, but I love you. I love you so much you don't even realize it. Ted is a jerk. He doesn't treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Please, just call me back. Okay? Bye."
Maryse sighed and placed her phone back. She loved Mike, but now wasn't the time for them and Mike had to realize that.
Maria was out jogging when she noticed a blonde sitting outside, behind the building of her room. She walked up closer to only realize it was Kelly. She ran up to her friend to figure out what was going on.
"Kelly!" Maria screamed, startling Kelly.
"Oh my God!" Kelly shrieked with her cigarette in her hand.
"Kel!" Maria said in a disappointing tone, glancing down at the cigarette.
"What? I'm stressed, okay?"
Maria sat down next to Kelly, placing an arm around her. "What's going on?"
Kelly shook her head. "It's Cody and Layla. She's making and wearing a shirt for him. I heard that they talked all last night at the party and that she walked him back to his room. Is Cody my boyfriend or not?"
Maria frowned. Although she was friends with Layla, Layla needed to realize that Cody is taken. "Kelly, I'm sorry. Just try and talk to Cody to find out what's okay on."
Kelly rolled her eyes before stomping her cigarette into the ground. "I'm going to talk to Layla first." Kelly quickly got up and walked over to Layla and Michelle's room.
Layla heard a loud bang out the door, wondering who it could be. She got up from the desk and answered the door to see an angry Kelly.
"Kelly…" Layla said, confused as to why she was there.
"Layla, can I come in? It's important." Kelly asked.
"Uh, oh, yeah sure." Layla stated, opening the door wider.
Kelly walked in and immediately spotted Cody's varsity jacket on the coat rack. She ran up to it and ranked it off, wrapping it around herself. "Care to explain?"
"Um." Layla panicked, she didn't know what to say. "I was cold and Cody said to return it to him later."
"Well it's later." Kelly said, raising an eyebrow to her enemy. "Let's deliver it to my boyfriend now." Kelly demanded, with an emphasize on her boyfriend.
"Um…I.." There was no escaing this. "Okay, sure." Layla sighed as she slipped her shoes on and walked out the door with Kelly.
The two walked silently over to Cody's room. Kelly banged on the door, causing Cody to jump before answering it. He had a confused look on his face when he saw Layla standing there with Kelly.
"Um, hey guys. What's up?" Cody questioned.
"Layla has something for you." Kelly said, starring at Layla.
Cody gave a little smile, trying to make it not noticeable by Kelly.
Layla stuck out her hand, which was holding Cody's jacket. "Thanks for letting my borrow it." Layla softly said.
"Oh.." Cody said with a hint of disappointment. "Thanks." He grabbed the jacket and folded it as he crossed his arms. "Anything else?"
Layla shook her head. "Thanks Layla." Kelly said with a smirk as she walked into Cody's room. Cody stood there for a moment, noticing how upset and embarrassed Layla was. "Lay—." Cody started, but was cut off by Kelly.
"CODY! I'm inside!" Kelly called from Cody's bed.
"I'll talk to you later." Cody whispered as he quietly shut the door in Layla's face.
Layla stood there for a moment. She took a deep breath in and left for her room.
Maryse's fingers trembled as she picked up her cell phone. She decided to call Mike back. How could she not? She pressed the number two and hit send; Mike was second on her speed dial. The phone rang, each ring making Maryse more nervous. She bit her lip before she heard Mike's voice.
"Hello?" He asked.
Maryse was speechless. She didn't know what to say, so she hung the phone up. Her phone soon rang and she saw it was Mike.
She took a deep breath in before answering. "Hello?"
"Maryse? Hey. You just called?" Mike said.
She could tell he was happy, even over the phone. "Oh, yeah. I got your message."
"Yeah, I..Just forget I said all that."
Maryse was confused. For the past few days Mike was all over her and now he wasn't? She had to get to the bottom of this. "Mike? What happened?"
"Nothing. I gotta go. Bye." Mike quickly hung the phone up, leaving Maryse with questions.
Should I continue?
