I don't own Twilight. But I need a beta reader to help with Chilean Spanish and Portuguese, Chile, Chilean currency, the city of Pucon, the Mapuchen People and language. I don't know if Pucon has a zoo or not but in this fic it does, with all due respect for Chile.

After the ceremony ended, we returned our gowns,' which had our casual clothes, since we didn't have dress up and I had on my blue jeans,red T-shirt, and green sneakers. We all group hugged each other and took some pictures on our cameras and went off to own families.

Then after two minutes of walking around with a my graduation cap and degree in my hands and finally saw my mom and Seth coming toward me.

"Congratulations, sweetie, I'm so proud" My mom said while crying happily and hugging me tightly. My mom and I a relationship close not as close as my dad and I's relationship but still as close and my brother's relationship is closer to mom than with dad but he and dad were close too.

"Yeah, congratulations too sis" Seth, my younger 17 year old brother who towered over my 5'8 height with his 5'10 and hugged me too.

"Thanks guys" I said, my mom was handing my drawstring bag since we couldn't bring those during graduation and I pit my graduation hat in there.

"Your father would be so proud of you" Mom told me her 5'7 frame kiss my forehead.

"Thanks mom" I said sadly remininscing dad.

"Now I have a college graduate and a soon-to-be- high school senior, both of my babies are growing up so fast" she hugged us both.

"Aw mom" both Seth and I both complained in unison. We also took turns taking pictures.

"Now, you two let's go home, you know we are having the party at home tomorrow which are having without argument, young lady" She said with her glare, I get my attitude mostly from her, before I started complaining. Might as well as well have the party, she did take off today and tomorrow from her job as a nurse at the hospital.

We all rode home in my mom's car since mine was getting checked by Seth's friend, Jacob, (I'll tell you about him later) from all the use I used it in Seattle.


It was suprisingly sunny todayespecially for Seattle. We arrived home after the 3 and a half hour drive from Seattle. The ceremony started at 10 a.m. and ended at 1 p.m. so we arrived so we arrived home at about 4:30 p.m.

After we arrived home I went upstairs to put up my degree and graduation cap on my shelves (shown on profile) and fell flat on my back on the bed. I looked around my room and saw that alot of my stuff were still in boxes because I got my stuff from my dorm on the last day two days ago.

"Leah, mail for you" I heard my Seth yell from downstairs. I saw my mom ordering pizza on the phone.

"Ok, coming" I answered.

"Who's it from?" I asked while walking down the stairs.

"That international intern program thing you applied for a few months ago" he said handing me the big manilla envelope.

I heard my mom hang up the phone in the kitchen and walk into the living room with Seth and I.

"Well, open it sweetie" Mom stood next to me while I opened the envelope and took out the papers in it.

I started reading the paper that was the general letter.

My eyes got wide.

"I've been accepted" I whispered.

"What?" Both Mom and Seth confused.

"I've been accepted" I repeated. "I gonna work at the Pucon Zoo."

Both of them cheered and hugged me.

"When do you start?" Mom asked.

"On August 12 through May 16" I said. "They are providing me an apartment close the zoo with a rent that fits the paycheck and they'll pay for all of the utilities and a car to lease and they'll make sure my health insurance and licence here will also apply there and they're sending me a debit card which they will fill with about $3,000 a month"

"That's so great great honey" Mom said.

"We know you'll do great big sis" Seth said.

"Thanks guys" I said.

"You know I had two friends from Chile who came to the U.S. for college, they went with me to Seattle University too, you know your father went there with me too since we were still together after high school, anyway I think their tribe was Mapuche if I remember correctly. They were twin sisters named Hulien and Pire. But I lost touch with them not too long after we graduated from Seattle when they went back to Chile." She explained.

"Cool, but I hope my two years of spanish in high school will pay off", I told her.

She patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry honey you will do great".

"I hope so".


The pizza arrived not long after our cheerfulness died down.

While were eating there was a knock at the door. My mom went to open it and not surprisingly it was Chief of Police of Forks, Charlie Swan.

It might sound weird but he was one of my dad's best friends. He and my mom started dating my freshman year of college. I was a little uneasy about it at first but then I remembered he help us so much when died.

So about Charlie: He was married to a woman named Renee but then she left with their daughter, Bella, (who is my age now), when she was a baby because she couldn't stand Forks and they married so young like at when Charlie was 20 and Renee was 19. Bella and Renee lived in Phoenix, Arizona, and Bella visited Charlie about every summer. Then Bella moved back in with her dad her junior year of high school because she wanted her mom and her new step-dad, Phil who is a minor league baseball and is a little younger than Renee, to spend more time together and I think both Renee and Phil live in Jacksonville, Florida now because he got traded.

I'll also tell you the rest later about Bella and she's one of my good friends.

After both Seth and I both turned away sickly while Charlie and mom kissed and hugged.

When they broke apart, they came toward us.

"Hey guys, Leah congratualations"

"Thanks, Charlie" I said appreciatively. "I got accepted for that internship I applied for some a few months ago and I'm gonna work at the Pucon Zoo"

"Wow congrats to you again Leah" he said impressively.

"Well honey, I knew you were gonna get the job, so I'm gonna give you your graduation and going away present early"

She went into the hall closet and took out two wrapped presents, one small box and medium sized box and handed them it to me.

I opened the small box first it revealed an a green ipod and portable dvd player.

"Since you cd player is too delicate and you can take most of your movies with you too, so I think these are more convient for you to use on your trip", Mom said hoping I like them.

I got up and hugged her and thanked her.

Then Charlie said "Well, I won't be able to make it to your party tomorrow, so I'm here's your graduation present too" He reached in to his jacket and took at a gift card that had... $150 on it!"

"Wow thanks Charlie" I hugged him.

He awkwardly hugged back.

"Wow, you welcome" He said kind of embarrassed.

After that, Charlie sat down with us and we all were eating pizza.
