"GO!" my best friend Geo said and laughed as I almost ran over a student at our high school.
My name is Leilira but I go by Lei. I have strange light purple eyes and shoulder length light brown hair with a whit streak on one side it isn't dye I was born with it and I have a straight but slightly tipped nose. My parents died and I now live with my mom's sister. Her name is Melaka but I just call her Aunt Mel. She has reddish brown hair and dark blue eyes. She says that I look more like my dad with my hair and eyes but my skin tone and body was totally my mother's. I am half Mexican because my mom was full and my dad…well no one really knows anything about my dad. Expect my mom but they both died by a random shooting in a store. The sad part is that they were celebrating the very first day they met. We used to live in North Carolina but since then I moved in with my Aunt Mel she moved me to Nebraska.
The accident happened two years ago and I have been rebellious ever since. That is how I met up with Geo. His full name is Geovanni but he goes by Geo. He has curly black hair and black eyes. He is my best friend in the world. He is also very protective of me but if it came to a brawl I knew how to handle myself. Geo is in basketball, track, soccer, and high school heartthrob. I am the bad ass in the school and everyone stays away from me unless they want to end up in the ER. I have no idea why Geo wanted to hang out with me but when I first came to the school he was the first person to keep me from killing someone. Literally. I was in a huge fight with this other girl who thought I poured ice coffee in her purse but it was a couple of guys who thought it would be funny. She came after me and started to pull my hair and called me a bitch then she started to talk smack about my family and I had to defend myself and my parents so she ended up having three cracked ribs, a broken elbow, a sprained ankle and a couple of broken fingers. I would have killed her if Geo wasn't there to hold me down and have me think things thru. I didn't come out of the fight with a single scratch but my Aunt told no one to worry about it because she is a highly trained doctor and when she says something everyone believes her.
Back to my chase.
"Who was that? Because from the look on their face I couldn't tell if it was an ugly poodle or a wet cat," I said while laughing and trying not to crash.
"Uhhhh…I think it was Harold Whint," Geo winced and I opened my mouth and stopped the car with a screech.
"Shit! Oh shit! We are so dead," I said and looked at Geo with wide eyes.
"My dad can't get us outta this one Lei. Sherriff will have a fit once he finds out we almost ran over his son," Geo said.
"What if Harold didn't see our plate," I asked but Geo shook his head.
"Nope, Harold knows that you are the only one in town to drive a silver 2010 Camaro SS," Geo said sadly.
"Shittt! I groaned and leaned my head against the steering wheel.
"Better take me home before the Deputy comes home," Geo said with a shy. Geo's dad is the Deputy of the police.
"Yeah, well see you tomorrow because tonight was our last night as sophomores! When summer starts we will be officially juniors!" I said trying to cheer Geo up.
"If my dad doesn't kill me," Geo said "or if Mel doesn't kill you."
"Aunt Mel, is ok with all of this, just as long as no one gets hurt. She knows that I use my car to blow off steam," I said driving down the roads to Geo's house.
"Yeah, but someday you're going to need face the music," Geo said as we pulled up to his house.
"Whatever Gee, get outta my car and I will see you tomorrow," I said and Geo laughed at his childhood name.
"Good, because you now owe me a ice cream," he said and ran up to his house.
"When did I owe you an ice cream," I shouted but Geo was already in the house.
I grumbled and drove off to Aunt Mel's house and I noticed that her car wasn't in the drive way.
Must be another late surgery I thought and went inside to finish my essay for college.
I may look all tough on the outside but I am really nice and I am smart too.
I heard the door open and close, that told me that Mel is home and probably going to head and get some ice cream. Mel always eats ice cream after an intense surgery.
"Hey Lei-Lei, want to watch this new movie I just got?" Mel asked and came up to my room with a quart of double fudge ice cream.
"Sure, how was the surgery?" I asked as we walked down the stairs and Mel groaned.
"This little kid was playing around with the silverware and some medication. He ended up in shock with a fork down his throat. We had to take the fork out before we take all the medication he took out of his stomach," Mel said and placed the Blue ray in the Blue ray player.
"Ouch. What kind of parent leaves medicine out in the open. I can understand the silverware but meds. Now I'm glad that I have a doc for family," I said and Mel laughed.
"Your mother always said the same thing after I came home from the office," Mel said looking at her hands.
I smiled and grabbed a spoon and started to scoop ice cream as Mel and I watch Shutters Island. After the movie Mel tried to walk up the stairs but fell asleep on the first step. I caught her and heaved her on the couch. After Mel is covered in a blanket I head upstairs and snuggle in my king sized bed with my only memory of my parents…a stuffed dog. It is a puppy Dalmatian, named Spots. Yeah I know really original but I was six when I got Spots. His fur smelled slightly of burned wood and homemade peanut butter cookies, a strange mix but the cookies are what I try to preserve. I didn't want to grow up and forget what my parent's smelled like.
Night Mom, Night Dad, I thought as I fell asleep.
