Layla’s pov

I skipped P. E and I skipped the rest of the remaining classes and went straight to work at the bakery.

Quincy and Melissa were a bit stunned to see me so early.

“Are you not supposed to be in school Layla?” Melissa asked in concern. Even Quincy shot me a look of worry.

I tried to crack a smile and hope that it didn’t look like a cringe. “I have no classes left so I just decided to come here.” I lied.

I definitely didn’t want to go home. I didn’t feel like spend ing any more unnecessary time with mom and Neymar.

There were a good bit of people, not too many to fill the entire room but enough to show that the bakery was well known.

Working here, strange but it managed to calm me down. Perhaps since I was far from Neymar, mom, school, and ev eryone.

I only wished that I could remain calm and stress-free like this for longer. But time was ticking and sooner or later I had to head home.
