As quickly as I can I haul my bags over my shoulders and head back to my dad's house. It only a block away from his book store. When I get there, I'm half ways surprised it the same as I remembered not a thing changed. The same white, two story house with a large tree in the front. I quickly step in the house and close the door behind me.

"Dad?! " I call out.

" In the kitchen!" he hollers back.

I walk into the kitchen, and nearly laughed out loud. Dad places a plate of burnt eggs on the table, I mean that's one of the simplest things to cook. But then again it's my dad, he can't cook even if his life depended on it. I look at the plate then him and raised an eyebrow.

"We both know I can't cook for nothing, how but I order some pizza." he says trowing away the food and placing the plate in the sink.

"Sounds great, I'll take a shower then we'll eat. " I say pulling my bags over my shoulders again.

"Okay... Oh and your room is on the second floor the third door." he says washing his hands.

"Who's room is the first door?" I ask curiously.

"Oh well umm... You'll meet the person soon, just not today, tommorow." he says taking out his phone to order pizza.

I just shrugged it off, he most likely just renting the room to a friend or something. I carried on and walked up the stairs. I reach the top of the stairs and stare at the three doors. The first door was this unknown person's door, the second door is the top floor bathroom, and the last door is my new room. As I stare at the first door, I get a sudden urge to open the door and investigate who this person is. I try to fight the urge, but curiosity gets to the best of me. Slowly I creep towards the door, I can hear the song 'Car Radio' by 21 pilots play on the other side of the door. Ugh I hate that song, it gets me frustrated I just sit there waiting for them to actually rap, but they don't. Ha who am I kidding I low-key-high-key secretly love it. I place my hand on the knob, then quickly take it off. What am I doing invading people's personal space.

I grab my stuff and walk to my room. Open my door and walk in the room. My mouth drops, the room is pretty big. It contains a large bed, a dresser with a mirror, a work desk, a pretty big closet, and a seat by the window, looks like a good place to read. I walk to the bed and place my stuff on it. I grab my showering items and clothes, then go to the bathroom. I brush out my hair, undress, then hop into the shower.

"Ah, water temperature I can control, this is what freedom feels like." I say soaking myself in warm water.

After I finish my shower I get dressed and towel dry my hair leaving it slightly damped. I pick up my mess and items, and take it to my room. After if I fixing it up, I walk down stairs. The smell of pizza filled my nose. Oh my goodness, pizza! It's been nearly two years since I ate pizza, dam I loving my freedom right now.

"Smells delicious." I say walking into the kitchen.

My dad looks at and smiles at me. " Thanks I made it myself." he jokes and I laugh.

"Sure you did, I forgot your name is Dominos " I reply sarcastically and we both laugh.

" So tell me did they serve pizza in juvie?" he ask sit down grabbing a slice of pizza, I copy him. Dam I love Hawaiian style.

"Ha I rather eat your food than that one. " I say taking a big bite.

"Dang that bad? " he asked mimicking me. I nod.

For the rest of the night we eat pizza and catch up on each others lives. So finds out my dad's business got a big upgrade because he teamed up with a old friend and they also sell legal movies too. That explains a lot. We finish up, and I say goodnight. I save two slices for tomorrow's breakfast, then leave to my room. I jump into my bed and let the comfortableness soak me in. Ah this is like a marshmallow compare to the stiff cell beds. Slowly I drift off to sleep.

...
Next Morning -

Right now I'm debating whether I should wear my high-waisted shorts with a crop top with Converse​ or Vans. I choose my Converse, they are always the best way to go. I grab my backpack and phone then walk to the kitchen. I'll eat my left over pizza for breakfast, yeah I know 'that's unhealthy', but I don't care.

"Hey! That's mine." I say when I see a hand with a plate of my pizza popping out of the fridge.

" Too bad." a male's voice says. Then the fridge door closes, and reveals the guy behind it.

"Holy shit! Forget the pizza, I think Ima have you for breakfast. " I say looking at the guy in front of me.

He's around 5'6, and lean. He's shirt less and let me tell you this he's definitely a snack, no scratch that a meal. His abs are fucking hot. His eyes are like a bright brown, and his jawline just dam.

" Who are you?" he ask looking at me up and down.

" Your future girlfriend." I say looking at him. He chuckles. " Oh and the owner of this pizza. " I add taking it out of his hand.

"Hey! ... Wait your Mr. Walker's daughter right? " he says grabbing his shirt off the counter and put it on. Oh what a shame to hide that body.

"Yeah why? Wait who are you? " I ask finally realizing that I'm flirting with a complete stranger in my home.

" I'm Nick I rent a room upstairs , and you're Lila right?" he ask pointing at me with a raised brow.

"No, it's Lay-la. " I say correcting him.

" Oh my bad, so... " he says throwing his backpack onto his shoulders.

" Well I'm off to school, so see ya later. " I say taking a bite of my pizza. " Here you can have this slice, so feel special cause I don't like sharing my food." I add walking out the door. He grabs the pizza and follows me out.

" Wait hold up do you want a... ride?" he ask rubbing the back of his neck and a hand in his pocket.

" Sure, thanks." I say looking around for his car.

" Oh it's by the sidewalk. " he says pointing to his car. My eyes follow where he's pointing and I smile, wow I feel stupid.

"Ha sorry I didn't see it." I say walking towards it.

  He walks towards the driver side and unlocks the doors, then gets in. Wow what a gentleman for opening my door, eh who cares at least I'm getting a free ride, right. I get in the passenger seat, and buckle up. Safety first, and just ignore the fact I just got in a strangers car. He looks at me and smiles; showing his white straight teeth, I return it.

" So are you new here? " he ask as we pull off the carb.

"Uhh sorta. How bout you? " I ask.

" Yeah today's my third day going to school, what grade are you?" he replies.

" Oh that's cool, I'm a junior so 11th grade." I say.

" Oh same. "

"Have you made any friends yet?"

"Yeah. "

"Who? " I ask curiously.

" I'll show you at school, I sorta forgot his name, but in my defense I barely met him yesterday." he says causing me to laugh.

"Okay, oh heads up. Drop me off before we get into the school's property." I say looking at him. Dam boi that jaw line tho.

"Why? Are you embarrassed by me? " he ask looking confused.

"Embarrassed by you, have you looked in the mirror? No, it's just that you seem like the type who rather lay low, and try not to draw too much attention to yourself." I say.

" Well I don't see how that's relevant to my question." he says.

"Umm how do I put this ....  I sorta use to be pretty popular before I left without any warning, and now that I'm back I may be a big gossip around town." I reply.

"Oh so your like this mysterious kid in town?" he ask.

"Yeah, I guess you can put it that way."

"Well then I guess I can relate, but I rather keep it that way." he says looking at me.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

" I mean I'm new, no one knows where I came from, who my parents are, where I live, and so on. May I add they barely know my name." he says stopping his car at the carb. We are only a small distance from the school.

" Really? " I ask I guess he's right he is knew, and kept low.

"Yeah, so we can be you know ... mysterious together." he says. Woah, this catches me off guard.

"What?! " I ask totally surprised. "No. " I add.

"Why not?  We can use it." he says with a mischievous grin on his face. Dam I like this guy already.

" How so?" I ask him with my grin just as mischievous.

...

As we walk in the school building  shoulder to shoulder, everyone stares. Most of them do double takes, with surprise plastered on their faces. They stare as they whisper to their selves.

" She's back? "

Yes I'm back, and ready for revenge. (evil laugh, I'm just kidding)
