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.

My shift didn’t start until another few more hours. But I couldn’t bare to stay in the school any longer.

“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.

And if I showed up there before school even ended, God alone knew what Neymar would think and say. What he’d do.

Melissa nods but it was clear she did not believe my words. Neither did Quincy who stared at me in confusion.

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.
