Hi guys! Hope you enjoy this story! This has been in the making for a few years. R&R!
Prologue
February, 2006
Lennox.
"It's so... cold."
That was my first thought as I climbed out of the car in front of my new home. La Push - and Washington State in general - was dark and gloomy an cold. Ever since we'd landed in Seattle, I'd been covered by a perpetual rain cloud, and honestly, I was sick of it. I didn't know how to feel; the last place I'd lived in was warm and sunny for most of the year, and this was a stark contrast from that. It was getting real old, real fast.
"Well, honey, you better get used to it. It's always cold here, has been like this since I was a kid." My dad walked around to my side of the car and I grimaced. That was not what I wanted to hear. Brushing my fingers through my hair, I sighed.
"Is it at least somewhat nice in summer?" My dad's expression said it all, and I groaned, pulling my North Face closer around my body. MY dad carefully lead me u the stairs to the house, sighing.
"Honey, I know you're not a big fan of this move but just put it into perspective. You only have to be here for three years until you graduate from high school and leave if that's what you want to do." He said it as if he was placating me, like I was seconds away from blowing a gasket. And I probably was, but I still didn't appreciate the situation. I sighed miserably and rubbed the heels of my hads against my eyes before pushing open the front door to the house and going in. I didn't wait for my father to tell me where my room was - I just walked up the stairs and decided that I would wing it.
In the grand scheme of things, this move wasn't even that bad. La Push wasn't a bad place, or at least, that's what I assumed based on my dad's stories. It was full of family and people who loved my father and me, despite the fact that they didn't know me and I didn't know them. It was a quaint reservation, and it felt really homely; it had all the potential in the world to become something like home to me. But on a smaller scale, this move was the worst possible thing that could happen to me. I had just been chosen as president of my sophomore class back home, I had made the cheerleading team, and my longtime crush, Landon Williams, had finally noticed me. In short, this move could not have come at a worse time.
But I was currently working on trying not to freak out about things that probably wouldn't matter in the long run. This move would not matter in 20 years. I wasn't sure whether I was trying to convince myself or do something else. Whatever it was, it was not working.
I know it's short but this is just the very beginning and a bit of info on the story to start us off. The first chapter will be up in a week possibly and it will take place on Lennox's first day. Have a great week!
