Edleenas POV
Today is not going well for me.
First off I almost blew up the Chemistry lab.
That was not my fault. If my partner wasn't so busy looking at the guy in front of her and distracting me by asking me questions like, 'do you think he's single' or 'how soft do you think his hair is?', then I probably would have added the measurements in right.
Next, my P.E teacher, decided that it'd be great is we worked in pairs during our morning exercises. I really didn't feel like working with anyone after the incident in the Chemistry lab. What's worse is I got paired up with Kate. I swear that girl has something against me.
Every time I trip or 'accidentally' bump into something, she is always close to me and starts laughing with her friends. I already figured out it was her, but I can't tell the principal because 1) I don't have any proof that she did all of those stuff and 2) because she's our vice principals granddaughter. Im pretty sure that anyone who tries to get his granddaughter in trouble will eventually get suspended.
After P.E. I 'accidentally' bumped into a wall because of Kate. Again she has a serious problem with me.
Next, I'm recommended by a teacher to help backstage and do the opening and ending for Career day.
I really don't like talking in front of people.
"Lee!" someone called. I was in the auditorium trying to help out with the preparations for Career day.
I turned around and looked onstage. A blond haired boy was waving at me. He then jumped down and came to stand in front of me.
"Hi Ken" I said."What are you doing here?"
"I asked to come and help you" He replies. He then pouts."You should thank me. I convinced the teacher that I could do the opening and ending speeches."
I blinked and asked," You really did that?"
"Yeah" He rubbed the back if his head."Although they want you to do something else."
Before I could ask him what that was Nia, a classmate of mine, asked me to come backstage and help with the sound system.
"Tell me later" I said to ken, while heading backstage.
When I went behind the curtain Nia came up to me.
"Wow lee" she said while we were heading to where they kept the mics." I didn't know you liked to sing."
"What" I asked her surprised."Where did you hear that?"
Nia stopped.
"You mean Ken hasn't told you yet?" she asks, surprised." You might want to go to him for the rest of the information then."
"Ok" I replied confused. I walked to where the other students were getting gear to put on stage.
"Where is he-" I suddenly ran into someone. I landed on the floor hard.
"Ouch" I said, rubbing the back of my head. I opened my eyes slightly after closing them when I landed on the floor.
"Oh im sorr-" a voice says then stops."Oh my gosh! Lee its you!"
"What? How do you..." I look up and see Winry and my older sister Tasha.
"Its great to see you" Winry says smiling.
"Winry... Tash... Is that you?" I ask disbelievingly. I even blinked a couple of times to make sure.
"In the flesh!" my sister replies smiling. She holds out a hand.
I grabbed it and she pulled me up.
"Its been so long" Winry exclaimed while hugging me. She lets go and Tash comes to hug me next.
"I missed you" she says while hugging me. I hug her back. She holds me out at arms length."you've grown taller!"
I practically sweat dropped when she said that. I probably only grew an inch or two in the three years that shes been away at the Medical school in south Creta. She decided to apply there, along with Winry, because there school was one of the top schools around.
And also to help mom.
I watch as Winry and Tash talk to each other about how much I've changed.
"But her hair is defiantly longer" winry exclaimed."It practically reaches the floor!"
I study the look on my sisters face. It doesn't look like one full of confidence or one filled pride, or of great accomplishment. Behind her laugh and smile lays sadness and defeat.
Which means they haven't found a way the help mom.
"Hey lee!" a male student runs up to me with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes."The principal wants every one to know that the Career Day assembly will begin in one hour."
"Thank you" I reply. The boy leaves and heads onstage.
"So Lee" Tash started in her mild manner. When she says it like that it can be assumed that she has something to ask that shes confused about." What are you doing for the assembly?"
I blink. I wasn't counting on doing anything, but then Nia mentioned...
"Ken!" I exclaimed remembering where I was going before running into Winry and Tash.
"What?" Winry asked confused.
"Did you guys see Ken before you came backstage?" I asked hurriedly.
"Yeah, he was setting up some of the tables for display" tash replied.
I ran onstage to look for Ken. I saw him setting up a table by the door with an older girl. I ran over, with tash and winry behind me and questioned him about 'singing'.
He scratched the back of his head."I was planning on telling you later..."
"Im supposed to sing!" I exclaim."you know I dont like singing in public."
Ever since I was little I really don't like to do anything in public. I was teased about my hair and eye color and my feelings tended to get hurt easily back then.
"Ken..." I say angrily.
"Im sorry its just that he wants some one to sing at the end of the assembly" Ken explained.
"What does he want me to play the piano too?" I reply sarcastically.
"Uhh" Ken shifts from side to side.
"Ken!" I exclaimed.
"Kendrick" Winry scolded."You're supposed to warn somebody before the event if they have any thing to do."
"We have time" Ken said."the assembly doesn't start..."
"The assembly starts in thirty minutes!" a girl called out across the room.
"Look I have to hurry the teachers and students will be arriving in ten to fifteen minutes" Ken told us."go with Tash and Win to get something together."
"Ken" I started. I really don't like whats going on.
"Ill deal with you later Ken" Winry dragged me through the auditorium doors and outside.
"How about we sit over there" Tasha pointed at a picnic bench under a tree to our left.
We all went over there and sat down. No one spoke and it was silent except for the rustle of the leaves.
"So Lee" Tasha started. She gripped her hands nervously and slightly twisted them, an old habit."I see you still have the same eye color."
"Yeah" If anyone else was listening to this conversation the would probably look at us weirdly.
"You know you could have kept your eye color right?" Tasha asked.
When I was little and my hair was in a sort of bob cut people sometime mistook me for my brother. We have the same eye and hair color although I was sometimes confused for my other brother even though his hair and eyes are darker. I decided to get contacts when was younger. My parents believed I could take care of them and I did. They werent too happy when I got them in the color green. My older brother especially. Speaking of him...
"Have you talked to Ed and Al yet" I asked.
Winry and Tasha looked at each other.
"They were supposed to be here actually" Winry replied."I have no idea where they are."
Nia came running up to us.
"Fifteen more minutes Lee" she said."The student and staff are already arriving as well as the visitors."
"Ok" I replied and stood up. As me, Tash, and Winry walked back to the auditorium Winry asked if I knows what im going to sing.
"Musician"I reply. "The duet version."
"Why the duet version" Tasha asked.
"I like that version better" I reply.
This is just an introduction I guess. The real story won't be starting soon.
