DISCLAIMER FOR MY STORY : I OWN NOTHING. I HAVE NO RIGHTS OVER CHARACTERS .
Chapter One : Sunrise : Leah's POV
"Leah !!!"
Ughh not so early PLEASE !
"Leah !!"
Shut your eyes tighter ...the sound will go away
"Leah Clearwater!"
Hmm that voice sounded familiar ... Of course its familiar ..Its your MOTHER ! ..Open your eyes idiot!
I peeked through my eyelashes, only to be struck by the menacing glare Sue Clearwater , my mother, was aiming at me . The anger was rolling off her tan coloured skin . Her long jet black hair was rolled into a messy bun . Her green shirt decorated with flowers was partially hidden by a ridiculous apron saying 'Kiss the Cook' . Her hands were firmly crossed over her chest while the chestnut eyes shot daggers at me .
She shifted her gaze expectantly and her cheeks had a taint of red to them. I thought of how best I could handle this . Maybe I'd be able to run pass her, head for the door, and get dad to save me.
Ughh who was I kidding!...Say something Leah!
"Hey Mom" , I looked at her and carefully slid my feet to rest on the cool floor while I stretched my hands .
"Leah It's 11:00 AM !. . It's your first day at La Push Tribal High School !
"Mom .. I don't wanna go " I pleaded .
" Your brother has already left for his classes " Of course ...Now I would have to see him more often ! "you've probably already missed half of your daily classes ! "
I sighed "You know , It's not my fault I went to junior high school in Seattle with Naiomi"
When I was twelve, I moved to Seattle to stay with my cousin Naiomi and go to school . Mom always agreed that Seattle had a better education system and would be far better than tribal school . I visited home every weekend . It was all good until Dad got sick .
Mom's eyes grew soft . " Leah , if you're worried about making friends , then STOP, because they will remember you "
I inwardly groaned. Of course they'd remember 'Ugly Lee-Lee' from first grade ..
"How's Dad feeling?" I walked towards the joint bathroom that Seth and I shared .
There was a flicker of sadness in her eyes but it was quickly dismissed by her smile . My mom was the strongest woman I knew of . She would never break down in front of anyone especially her children .
"He's getting up some fishing gear for the trip this afternoon."
Idea!
"He always took me on those fishing trips , he enjoys my company soo much mom , maybe I should go with him and have some bonding time with Dad ." Please work . Please work.
"Yes , your father does love it when you –" Mom stared at me , a smirk pulling at her lips "I wasn't born yesterday hun"
I finished brushing my teeth and took a shower quickly.
Hmm what to wear ... I've never been too interested in fashion, but I could wear something to make a good appearance while I'm being lectured about punctuality.
Ahh yes! ..blue shirt, loose black pants hmm perfect for me ..right ? .. I groaned
I put on my clothes and hurried downstairs . Dad and Mom were seated in the living room . Dad chuckled while Mom motioned for me to sit and have breakfast . or was it lunch ?
Ok eat eat .. put your shoes on .. yup
"Bye Mom , Dad"
Dad chuckled softly "Just a minute there Lee"
Dad took my hand in his. He felt so warm . His eyes were distant but his smile was blinding. His black hair reached shoulder length. He cupped my face in both his hands and pressed his warm lips to my forehead. I smiled and tears threatened to spill .
"I love you Lee-Lee"
"I Love you to Old man" , I smiled up to him and gave him one final squeeze before I headed for my truck .
The engine roared to life and I backed out of the garage and headed down the muddy road. The tribal school was started since early years by our ancestors. All the kids around La Push were usually enrolled in tribal schools. After my twelfth birthday, my cousin Naomi advised Mom about opportunities for scholarships at Seattle high schools.
I pulled into a the lot beside a red car and a green truck similar to mine.
There weren't much people around . They're all in their classes duhh!
I recognized the office and entered . The walls were painted in a dreary blue. There was an old woman with glasses that sat behind the counter . Her nametag read Mrs. Daniels. Her eyes lifted to meet mine and a broad smile appeared on her face .
"Hello Leah , your brother told me to expect you late" She chuckled .
"Ah yes Seth "
She handed me a map of this little school and a schedule of my classes . I took a quick glance at them . The bell rang .
"Have fun dear" Yeah right ..
I smiled and left the office . I checked my schedule and my watch. Oh great lunch time ..
The corridors were flooded by students . I tried to recognize a few as I walked. Hmm was that Seth ..no ...oh my god they're staring .. No need to put a sign up saying I'm the new freak ! .. . I turned towards the west wing and opened a green door which lead me into the school's cafeteria. All eyes focused on me, but it was these deep pools of brown –almost black-eyes that caught mine and held me in the middle of the cafeteria. Before I could scream or react, two hands gripped and pulled me into a hug .
