Laylah got out of her bed. She put her favorite song on and started getting ready for school. It was the first day of school. No more sleeping late. No more taking to her friends, not enough. She needed more time. She always slept late at night and every morning she was tired.
While she walked down the hallway she heard the mean girls talking about her. "Look at her black circles, does she even sleep?" said Kimberly while she laughed. "No, I don't, I am a vampire so you better mind your own business, else I will drink your blood.". Kimberly's friends where socked. And Kimberly? It just started. They unfortunately where classmates. Laylah fell asleep. Kimberly found an excuse to get revenge. She said Mr.Hills. He just woke her up, he said it was the first day. Kimberly's face got red. She threw her book at the wall, got of her desk and shouted "It isn't fair!!"."Sit down Kimberly, I make the rules here!" said Mr.Hills. Laylah laughed while she looked at Kimberly.The ring rang and Kimberly run after Laylah and said "Who do you think you are?". "I am Laylah, nice to meet you." she answered and left.
Laylah got home. Her parents welcomed her and asked how the first day at school was. "It is a day at school and if people are monsters then school is hell, how do you think it was?". "Did someone do something to you?" asked Luna. "Monsters hurt." Laylah said and left running to her room. Zivon and Luna didn't know what to do. Laylah was always distant. Laylah fell in her bed and started crying and stopped when her pillow was soaked in her tears.
Her friends started appearing in the sky. She got up and went out onto her balcony. The moon was eaten by the night sky. The stars were nowhere to be seen. She asked the moon "Where are they?" and the moon said "They are on their way." Laylah waited for the stars while she sang with the moon.
After hours of waiting they where there. She asked why where they so late and they said "Sleep took us." "But stars don't sleep." she confusedly said. "Sleep takes everyone my dear and know it is your time, go." And like that sleep took her. He hugged her tight till she couldn't breath. She woke up from a nightmare. "Sleep was a boy!" she said the stars and the moon laughed. "What are you laughing at?" asked the stars. "Sleep is a boy, it wasn't a dream. He comes at night and hugs people.". Sleep hugged her even tighter and she hugged him too.
