As terrible as it probably sounded Layla had a hard time choosing the list of three people that she admired. It wasn't that she thought so much of herself that she considered herself perfect but it was because it was difficult to pick those people she actually looked up to. There were negatives with everyone and there wasn't a singular person that she wanted to be.

She walked into Arithmancy with a slight frown on her face. The blonde wasn't in a good mood today and it was certainly showing on her face. Goodness knew what the true reason was and the fifteen-year-old certainly wasn't going to divulge it to anyone. She sat in a seat near the door so she didn't have to cross the other students and offered a nod and a half 'I don't want to smile but I have to' sort of smile across to the Professor simply so she didn't appear too rude.

She HAD managed to form a list and she got it out onto the table. It DID have three names and she DID admire them in some way or another. The first was her mother because she had taken them from the council estates of Brixton to an end of terrace dwelling near Clapham Common due to her hard work and persistence. The woman was a good mother too and a wonderful grandmother and Layla couldn't fault her for that. The second was her first born nephew Felix, purely because he lived in a mad house with mental parents and still seemed to retain some normality that his siblings lacked. And he was intelligent for his age too. The final was her cousin Samson because he persisted to make sure that Layla stayed at school and he knew how to treat and react to her when others didn't. He was initially the person to keep her sane in a school full of people she really didn't want to bond with.

As it was she had actually started to form friendships rather than acquaintances, she just wasn't going to admit that yet.
