Enough Drama for a Life Time
Leah's POV
Monday morning came before I knew it. I was up and getting ready for school. I don't think many people saw us together at the bonfire but everyone would find out today. I grabbed a white T-shirt and some jean shorts. No one was down stairs yet so I started making breakfast. I made enough pancakes for everyone in the house and then sat down to eat mine.
All of a sudden my eyes were covered by a pair of hands.
"Guess who." A familiar voice said.
"Hmm. Could it possibly be Sam?" I teased.
"You might be right." He said removing his hands and taking a seat next to me. "Did you cook?" he asked.
"Yes I did." Sam made a face. "What, I'm a good cook!"
"I'm sure you are. I've just never tried your cooking before."
"There's a first for everything." I pushed my plate in front of him. He eyed it like he thought it would come alive and eat him. "I swear to God Sam if you don't eat this-" I started to threaten but he stopped me by picking up the fork and digging in. I watched him as he ate his first bite.
"It's not half bad Clearwater." He said after he finished.
"Really, so you don't want the rest?" I asked as I began to pull the plate away.
"I never said that." he held on to the plate. I smirked at him. "Fine you are an amazing cook." He said kissing my lips.
"EEWW!"I heard my little brother behind me.
"Grow up Seth." I teased. "And hurry up; we are going to be late for school." I quickly finished a new plate of food; considering Sam ate my original plate.
"You all ready to go?" Sam asked as Seth and I placed her plates in the sink. We nodded and headed out to the car. We didn't talk much on the short ride to Seth's school. Sam just held my hand as he drove. Today was the first day of school as a couple and I was completely nervous. It's bad enough I'm on the cheerleading team with his ex, but now the whole school is going to be talking about us.
"You okay?" Sam asked after Seth got out of the car.
"Yes, I am fine. Just a little bit nervous."
"About what?" he looked at me.
"People talking about us, I don't know."
"Since when do you care what people think?"
"I don't, I just don't want everyone talking about me."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you from the big bad people." He teased; we were now at the school.
"Don't be an ass." I said getting out of the car.
"You have such a big vocabulary; you would think you could think of another name for me." we met in the front of the car, I was glaring at him.
"Okay, how about idiot, cretin, ignoramus?"
"See it's a win-win situation. You sound smart and I don't know what you're calling me." he smiled. I couldn't help but smile back. He put his arm around my shoulder as we began to walk to the school. And of course the majority of the school was out on the lawn waiting for the first bell. Whispering started right as Sam put his arm around me and followed me all the way to our first class. The day was extremely uneventful, if you ignored the whispering, until lunch.
Sam and I sat down at our normal table with Kim and Jared. We talked like normally but the whispering was really annoying, I was not used to it like Sam and Jared seemed to be, even Kim. In a small town like La Push gossip is like gold, everyone loves it and can't get enough.
"Don't worry, they'll find something new to talk about by tomorrow." Sam whispered in my ear. I smiled up at him and tried to ignore them.
I was doing a pretty good job too, that is until Rachel decided to confront us.
"How could you do this to me?" she shouted as she stormed over to our lunch table, and of course all eyes in the cafeteria turned to us.
"Rachel don't make a scene." Sam said calmly.
"I'm not the one making a scene. You are by parading that tramp around!" she was defiantly trying to get everyone's attention.
"Rachel!" Sam snapped. He looked like he was about to stand up but I put my hand on his leg under the table and he calmed down.
"It's true, why else would you be dating her if you weren't screwing her!" I saw a couple people nod their heads and others had looks of realization pass across their faces. It was like they were trying to figure out what Sam was doing with me and this was the most logical response.
"Rachel, you don't know what you're talking about. Now quit trying to make a scene and go sit down." Sam glared at her. She turned and ran out of the cafeteria crying, like she had just seen a horrendous act.
"I'm sorry about that." Sam whispered.
"Everyone thinks you're with me because I'm easy?" I whispered back. It came out as a question but we both knew it was true.
"Lee it doesn't matter what they think. You and I both know why we are together and that's all that matters." I nodded my head but I still had to fight the tears.
"Come one let's get to class." Jared said standing up. I smiled gratefully at him.
"I really detest drama." I muttered. Sam just hugged me even closer as we walked out of the cafeteria.
"Just remember tomorrow they will be talking about something different." I sighed, I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
