She's my mystery

Mystery girl

Ethan's P.O.V.

"Hey dude, over here pas it to me..!" Max yelled and I pasted him the ball..

The guys and I were shooting hoops in the gym and the girls were at the other end chatting to each other or whatever girls now do..

We were just waiting for our teacher to show up so we could get the class started, but the teachers weren't always the ones to be punctual..

Suddenly, one of the girls put on some music and a few started dancing.. One was Anastasia and it looked... Dreadfull..

Some of the guys' attention got caught by them..

"HEY.. We are playing here.." I snapped at them, making them focus on the game again..

Then the music turned off shortly and then it changed and played 'The Weekend - Valerie'.. Great song but I still focused on the game, I went for it and dunked the ball in the net earning my team a point..

When I turned around in the direction of the other end at the gym, I felt the air leave my lungs and my world seemed to stop as my eyes fell on her..

A girl I don't think I have seen before, dancing next to Mille..

I knew of Mille.. I went to the same pre-school as Mille but she's not one I hang out with now or talk to, and this other girl is a total mystery to me..

I dont think I have seen her around campus before, but my god, she's divine..

Her red curly hair bounched around her as she danced, and a strand got caught between her juicy lips.. Her curvy body moved perfectly in sync with the beat of the music..

Could this really be the first time I have noticed her, in gym class...? Someone was whispering about how she apparently tried to show Anastasia how to dance properly.. haha.. Anastasia was mad at the attention this mystery girl got from everyone and tried to out dance her, but failed miserably..

The way this girls body moved did something to me..! I felt drawn to her like she was a magnet, and when the other guys tried to look at her or say something inappropriate, I shot them a deadly glare so they would keep their thoughts to themselves...

No one is going to look at her but me..!

The music suddenly cut off and then our gym teacher roared, "Anastasia, Mille and Layla..! Pricebales office NOW.!"

Hmm Layla..

Just saying her name in my head gave me goosebumbs all over my body and I just wanted to say her name out loud..

When the girls walked out, Layla looked around for the first time since our teacher cut them off, and finally saw everyone was looking at them and then she noticed me looking at her..

Her golden-hazzled eyes looked shocked for a moment when our eyes connected and I kept my eyes locked on hers all the way out of the gym...

"F**k.." I groaned to myself, snapping my head back..

"Dude, you good..?" Max asked in response to my groan..

"Who the hell is that girl? How long has she been at our campus..?" I questioned, totally ignoring the question he just asked..

"I dont know dude.." he just shrugged and went over to the other guys..

"Come on people, start with five laps around the gym as today's warm up.." our teacher yelled out..

As all of us did the laps, I couldnt take my mind off her.. I asked all my close friends if they knew anything about Layla, but no one knew anything.. Damn..!

Jean was a girl close to our guy group. She said that Layla hangs out with a girl named Jackie, so I then tracked Jackie down after my last class..

"Jackie.?" I questioned as I walked up to her by her locker..

"Yeah.. Huh, oh Ethan, whats up..?" she said as she turned around and faced me..

"Can you tell me about your friend Layla..?" I asked, jumping straight to the point..

"Huh um.. Like what..?" she hesitated..

"How long has she been on campus and where she is from..?" I asked..

"Um.. A little over a year now, her and her parents moved here from Canada.." Jackie said and nervously picked at her hand..

"What classes is she in and..." I started but she cut me off..

"Woaw woaw woaw.. I can't say more.. It's like your going to demand her social security number from me too.." she said with a nervous giggle and put her hands up for me to stop asking more questions..

"Can you get me her number then..?" I asked and really hoped that she would give me it..

"Sorry no.. I can ask, but if that doesn't work then ask her yourself when she is back on Monday.." Jackie said and crossed her arms,, protective of her friend..

"Fine.. Hold up..! She's first going to be back on Monday..? Why..?" I asked, now shocked and devastated that I would have to wait that long..

"Her, Mille and Anastasia got suspended for their inappropriate dancing until Monday.." she responded with a shrug of her shoulders..

"Oh.. Well, I would own you one, if you could get me her number before Monday.. I would really appreciate it.." I said, almost begin on my knees.. what has gotten into me? Beggin isn't like me at all..

"I will see what I can do, but no promises.." Jackie said and threw her bag over her shoulder and closed her locker..

"Okay, understandable.." I said and turned on my heel and walked to my car and drove home.. Damn.. This mystery girl is going to be a big distraction..

Layla P.O.V.

Friday arrived quickly and I was still at Mille's house and Jackie just pulled up in the driveway and joined us inside..

We all hugged and then went out to the pool in the back yard to tan for a bit..

Mille and I had prepped the lounge chairs for us and put drinks on ice to grab as we needed..

We chatted for a bit, but Jackie quickly complained about her day.. She felt a little harassed by Ethan and him wanting my number so badly..

"Just give him your number so I can get him off my back.. I don't even care that he will owe me a favor, I just want him not to be there the second I get out of class.." Jackie complained..

"Yeah just give him it already.." Mille chimed in..

"I would rather have him ask me and not my friend.. Plus, I don't know if he's crazy and that I wouldn't end up regretting giving him my number.." I responded and turned onto my stomach so my back could get some tan too..

"Girl..! Do you hear yourself? It's freaking Ethan Dawson we are talking about.! He's one of three of the hottest guys on campus and your one of the hottest girls..!" Mille squealed like a total fan..

I knew he was hot as hell, because my body always acts up when I think about him and the smirk he gave me back in the gym, but I dont know him and what his intentions are..

I turned my face the other way, feeling done with the whole Ethan thing, and Mille and Jackie let me relax for a bit and then we talked about something else..

After a few hours in the sun, we jumped in the pool to cool off for a bit and then showered and decided to go to the mall and do some summer wardrobe shopping..

It was mid May now and it was beginning to be getting warmer and warmer, and I needed new bathing suits and some cute summer dresses..

We took Jakies' car because it's a convertible, so we could drive with the roof down.. I loved the feeling of my hair tossing around in the wind..

When we arrived, we headed straight for our favorite stores and we all quickly found some stuff we fell in love with and had to have..

I didn't get myself too much because my birthday was coming up at June sixteenth..

"Just tell me if you see something to put on your whis-list.." Mille said as we looked through a rack of clothes..

"Okay I will.." I said, and smiled at her..

My friends are really the best and I can always count on them no matter what..

Just as I saw a cute shirt, I saw Ethan walking by outside the store window, and without thinking, I hid behind the rack..

"Um girl what the hell are you doing..? "Jackie asked, standing right next to me..

"Ethan..!" I whispered and pointed towards the window..

"Oh.. Oh s**t he sees me.." Jackie said through her teeth while she smiled and Mille turned to look and I could hear his footsteps approaching the rack..

"Hi Jackie and Mille.." his deep voice sent goosebumbs down my back from how smooth it sounded..

"Hi Ethan.." Both Mille and Jackie responded..

"What are you doing here..?" Mille then added..

"Oh I'm out looking for a gift for my older sister, she's turning thirty on Wednesday and is holding her birthday on Sunday.." he said and held up a small bag from a jewelry store..

I wanted to stand up just to see him up close like Mille and Jackie right now..

"What about you two..?" he then added..

"We are just out doing some shopping for summer coming up.." Mille said with a nervous laugh..

"Isn't Layla with you..?" he questioned and I froze as he said my name.. F**k it sounded even better coming out of his mouth..

"No she isn't feeling well so she stayed back at my place, taking a nap to see if she would feel better when we get back.." Mille lied and I tried not to laugh..

"Well, I hope she feels better soon.. I'll head back home. The guys are making me go to this stupid party later.. You should all come if you want to..?" he said and gave Jackie the location, "Layla is of course welcome to join too if she feels better.." he added..

My heart was beating so fast, like it was trying to rid itself of my chest and go to him..

"Thanks.. We'll let you know later when we get back home and talk to her.." Mille said, surprised with a smile..

"Okay, I hope to see you there. If not, I'll see you Monday.." he said and walked away..

I let out a shaky breath I apparently was holding and stood up when Mille made sure he was gone..

"Girl's we are going to that party..!" Jackie stated and Mille nodded vigorously, agreeing with Jackie..

"I'm still sick.." I said and faked a cough..

"Oh no, you are feeling great..! And you are doing this for your girls because they just covered your ass just now.." Mille said with a stern look..

"Fine.." I said in defeat..

"Fabuolus.. Now let's find you the sexiest outfit, so he will lose his heart to you the moment he sees you tonight.." Jackie said and began to pull all kinds of things down for me to try on..

"I need a nap before tonight.. and strong drinks.." I said to Mille. She just laughed as I rested my head on her shoulder as she patted my head..

"Just let us do the hard work and you just show up and knock everyone's socks off.." Mille whispered and kissed my forehead before joining Jackie in the hunt to find me an outfit..

I leaned up against a wall as they ran all over the store and when they came back it looked like they had picked out everything in the store and I just shook my head at them and got into one of the changing rooms with the pile of clothes..
