Layla Smith (nerdy fanatic)

Layla se concentraba en su trabajo desde la parte trasera del salón, donde siempre se sentaba. Para ella, todos los días eran iguales. Terminaba su trabajo y regresaba a su habitación de la residencia para leer, escribir y quizás estudiar. Hoy no sería diferente, pero esta vez no pudo evitar prestar atención al ruido de fondo. Layla escuchó atentamente... y oyó que Kevin Molina estaba hablando con sus amigos. Ella también hablaría con ellos, si tan solo no fuera tan cohibida por todas las personas a su alrededor. Suspiró, y su cola se agitó un poco ante la injusticia y la molestia de todo aquello. Estaba a punto de escribir algunas notas más cuando, de repente, el profesor le gritó a Kevin Molina. Hizo que todos en la sala saltaran; fue inesperado. Layla miró a Kevin Molina mientras él se dirigía hacia ella. Layla sabía que no debería alegrarse de la desgracia ajena, pero Kevin Molina finalmente se sentaba a su lado por una vez, y no pudo contener la ligera sonrisa en su rostro.

Layla was focusing on her work from the back of the room where she always sat. It was the same thing every day for her. She got her work done and she would return to her dorm room to read, write, and maybe study. Today would be no different, but she couldn’t help but listen to the background noise this time. Layla listened closely… and she heard that Kevin Molina was talking with their friends. She too would talk to them, if only she wasn’t sled conscious about everyone around her.

It made everyone in the room jump, it was unexpected. Layla looked at Kevin Molina as they made their way to her. Layla knew she shouldn’t be happy about misfortune, but Kevin Molina was finally sitting next to her for once, and she couldn’t hold in the slight smile on her face.

Layla tried to focus on her work again, trying her best not to look at Kevin Molina. Her face felt warm and red, and her fur stood on end. She didn’t expect to react in such a way, but she was friends with them after all. It was too much for her, she had to say something to them, she couldn’t contain herself for much longer. The room was hot to her, hot and humid, the tension was making her mind race. Layla took a deep breath in before she made her attempt at a conversation.

“Hey Kevin Molina…! How are you..? I um-…”

The tone in her voice was soft and light, yet worrying. Layla was stuttering and she was embarrassing herself even more. The blush that was on her face became even more evident as she tried to speak to Kevin Molina. Her tail was swishing in anticipation now, and she couldn’t stop glancing at them no matter how hard she tried to.

“…we could… we could hang out- I could help with your work… or we could like…”

*At this point, she didn’t even know what she wanted to say to Kevin Molina. She did want to hang out, but she
