Violet's POV Layla was squealing when she saw me at her door thirty minutes later. She pulled me into a hug and dragged me all the way to her room in excitement. "Brenda said you wouldn't come. She even made a bet with me," Layla said as soon as we got to her room, a pretty big one. It was decorated with various stickers and paintings. "That's because I have never been to a sleepover at her place" I informed her, rather quietly. Brenda is my best friend, the only person I confide in at school, but I always reject her invitation for sleepovers. Although she was aware that my mom was the reason, I knew she would be hurt if she saw me there. "My mom is kinda strict, that's why." "But how did you convince her to come here?" " I sneaked out". I gave her a weird laugh. I did sneak out,
