my wolsey diary

chapter 8 - back from break

Damn... that break felt like years, i miss everyone so much..
But nothing to keep weeping about, I'm seeing them tomorrow.

45 missed calls from Layla

What the... let me just call her

Calling...

Layla: "Hey girly!!"
Ana: "Layla, what the fuck?"
Layla: "What?"
Ana: "You called me like 40 times"
Layla: "Way to greet me.."
Ana: "Ok, I'm sorry, my bad. Hey girly, how are you?"
Layla: "Great, actually amazing, but that's not the point, the point is I haven't seen you in a million years, you're so inactive AND you never respond to my texts
that's why I called you like 60 times in the past hour."
Ana: "I might be autistic, the only thing I understood from all that was 'great'."
Layla: "You: Inactive, me: calling"
Ana: "Oh. Wait what?"
Layla: "Forget it... hey, have you heard anything about nimish lately? I heard he's kinda emo now."
Ana: "Had him in like 30 group chats and he left half of them cause he was feeling edgy."
no offense nimish
Layla: "Damn, what happened to him?"
Ana: "No idea."
Layla: "Yeah.. anyways I have to hang up now, I wanna sleep."
Ana: "Yeah same, byeee!"
Layla: "Byeee!"

She's so cool, literally my bestie.

THE NEXT DAY

I wake up to the sound of not birds, but a loud ass alarm clock ringing in my ear
I get up, and Layla's already texting me

4:05AM
Layla: Hey Ana, I found a cat under my tree.

5:30AM
Ana: Heyyy
Layla: Did you even see anything I sent you?
Ana: No, who wakes up at 4am anyways?
Layla: Trick question, I went to sleep at 4am.
Ana: That's so not coquette of you.
Layla: I know, I look emo now
Ana: That's so nimish of you, well anyways school starts in a few hours so I gotta get ready
Layla: Ana, school starts in 3 weeks.
Ana: Wait, what?
Layla: Jk
Ana: Fuck you
Ana has gone offline

"Alexa, play Folklore album by Taylor Swift from Apple Music"
"Playing Folklore by Taylor Swift from Apple Music"
You know who else loves Taylor? Layla. She has tons of merch.
Wish I could go to the eras tour with her..
I mean, I already did, but without her
That was cruel
I guess you could say it was a cruel summer
Shit, that was a bad joke
Pretend you didn't read that

...

I'm ready for school, I think.
"Bye, mom!"
"Byeee!!"
I left and shut the door
Peace at last

"Hey!!"
You have got to be kidding me
Wait, it's Mary, how does she know where I live..

Ana: "Heyy!"
Mary: "Hey, saw you passing by here, you live across the street, I suppose?"
Ana: "I guess"
Mary: "How can you guess? Don't you know where you live?"
Ana: "I think I do..."
There was uncomfortable silence
Mary: "By any chance... do you like the color pink?"
Ana: "Do I like it? I love it."
Mary: "That's so coquette"
Ana: "I know, right?"
Mary: "Oh my gosh, yes!"

...

Entering school again actually feels illegal, we had a 3 month break which is a hella lot of time
I haven't seen all my friends, I've really missed them
"YO! ANA!"
Hm?
Hita: "ANA! HOW ARE YOU??"
Ana: "Hita!! I haven't seen you in so long! I'm doing great, thanks for asking."
Hita: "How's tennis?"
Ana: "Same old thing."
Hita: "Great! Good for you!"
"ANAAAAA!!"
It's Lays
Layla: "ANA! I know I saw you like less than a week ago but I missed you!"
Ana: "Layla, your bangs look..."
Ana: "..interesting"
Layla: "I know, they look terrible."
Ana: "Good, you're aware, but who am I to judge? Mine look even wor-"
I was interrupted by the speakers
"ATTENTION STUDENTS: THERE HAS BEEN A TEMPORARY LOCKDOWN IN THE WOLSEY HALL SCHOOL, DO NOT PANIC, THIS MIGHT TAKE LONG, GRAB FOOD AND SNACKS FROM THE CAFETERIA AND CHANGE INTO THE SPARE PE SHIRTS IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORT."

Shortly after that, everyone started screaming

"WE'RE GONNA DIE!"
"TELL MY PARENTS I LOVED THEM!"
"BURY ME NEXT TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD!"
"I KNEW IT, I KNEW I WOULD DIE HERE!"

This IS real.. are we going to die here?
