LeahMfkn'Clearwater: Yay :)! I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

I didn't do this last chapter (at least I'm pretty sure I didn't…eh too lazy to check) but here's a few tidbits about the piece:

It's called Cindy, I think it counts as an American Folk song and the first time I ever heard it was at a Mens Chorus demonstration at a Music Educator's conference in October 2015.

Also, I did edit but there still may be errors so sorry about that.

Hello Ms. Parrish!

Nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome!

I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate news, my condolences to you and your family. That being said I would be very willing to cover your classes for you. If you would not mind sending me information about what you would like me to do with the students that day that would be great.

Best,

Ms. Leah Clearwater.

"Hey!" Leah screamed as she prepared to run across the cafeteria towards a group of students. standing around two other, incredibly idiotic, students fighting.

Leah had not been working in the cafeteria for a week and already she was witnessing a fight.

Hell, a fight. At this tiny, private Catholic high school in the middle of nowhere. Leah truly had not expected it.

"Wait!" Mr. Barnes called to Leah, grabbing her arm just before she took off in the direction of the fight.

Leah turned back and looked at him oddly. Did this man not see the fight happening like ten feet away?

"What?"

"Do you know how to properly restrain a student?"

"No clue."

And then she was off, quickly making her way over to the fight and breaking through the group of students surrounding it. In the center she found two boys. One a short, stocky brunette boy with icey blue eyes. His school uniform had been trashed, his shirt rumpled and untucked and his pants showing parts of the boxer shorts he wore underneath. Aside from a few scratches the boy looked untouched.

Leah did not recognize him at all. However, she knew the other boy, the one with the head full of long black curls and soft brown eyes (one now swelled and bruised), all too well.

Her quiet little choir boy, Javi.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!" Leah roared.

The brunette froze, still standing over top of Javi with his fist raised. He seemed stunned that someone had even called him out.

Leah did not bother to wait for either boy to respond, she immediately grabbed the brunette boy and restrained him with his hands behind his back. At 5'10 Leah was a good 5 inches taller than the boy, giving her an easy advantage. Also, being a werewolf and super strong couldn't hurt either.

Shortly after grabbing the boy, Mr. Barnes and the school's resource officer arrived. Leah released the boy, who she learned was named Kyle, to the resource officer and Mr. Barnes cleared out the rest of the students who had been standing around the fight. That left she and Javi alone together.

"Javi?" Leah asked as she reached a hand down towards the boy. He took it happily allowing his teacher to pull him up from the cafeteria floor.

"Thanks, Ms. Clearwater." He stated quietly. He had his head down, looking away from her.

Leah did not know much about the boy accept that he was quiet. Most of the boys she had a handle on. Ben was a skater dude, always chill and relaxed. Noah the opposite; he was studious and anal. Mikey was a smart cracking wiseguy. Robert was the dork with an unattainable crush. Kevin was a perverted class clown. And Dennis and Abel had some sort of broship going on.

But Javi. Leah did not know Javi.

"Do you want to talk about what happened?"

"It happened. Can't that be enough?"

Leah shook her head, she was going to get something out of this kid. "No kid, it's not enough. Why did it happen?"

Then Javi looked at her, even with one eye damn near swelled shut the boy's gaze was still very intense. He studied her for a minute or two, more like hours from Leah's perspective, before he finally spoke.

"He kissed me and I told him that I wasn't that way."

Leah looked utterly shocked. She had not expected that.

"Uh…" She started.

"Can that be enough?"

Leah nodded. "I guess that's enough. Let's go to the nurse and get you cleaned up, okay?"

As the two walked out of the Cafeteria and towards the Nurse's office, Javi uttered the last words Leah would hear him speak that day.

"Can you not tell anyone? About Kyle kissing me? Please?" Javi's voice sounded desperate as he pleaded with her.

Leah only nodded. At the same time she wondered if there was more to the story that she was not getting.

"So how was your day at work, Leah?" Sue asked as the little family sat down for dinner. Tonight was smoked salmon, mashed potatoes and broccoli.

"One of my chorus boys and another random boy go into a fight during lunch." Leah stated as she pushed some broccoli around on her plate. Usually she would have been on seconds, but the fight was still wearing on her mind a bit.

"Oh my! I hope neither were badly hurt."

"My kid has a black eye but he'll be fine."

Sue shook her head. "A shame. What were the two little fools fighting over?"

Leah almost dropped her fork. She really wasn't sure if she should tell or if what she told was the truth anyway. She mulled it over for a moment.

"I'm not entirely sure." Leah finally stated.

Sue laughed. "Typical. Whatever it was they'll probably be over it in a day or two."

"Uh...Hey!"

Leah stabbed her fork at Seth's fingers as he tried to grab her salmon off of her plate, completely thrown off from the discussion at hand.

"Come on, Lee, you haven't even touched it and I'm still hungry!" Seth whined.

"Well get your butt up and grab another piece. This is mine!"

Soon the two were on the floor wrestling. Sue shouting for the two to quit it in the background.

It is 2am and I need to be up for school in about 3 ½ hours.

2:03 a

You know this yet you keep calling and texting me.

2:06 a

Why not text me at a decent hour? Obviously whatever we need to talk about isn't that serious since your refusing to drop the cryptic act and instead of, I don't know JUST TEXTING ME WHAT'S SO DAMN IMPORTANT!

2:10 a

*you're

2:11 a

Leah looked down at her phone for a long moment. She half-considered throwing the damn thing at her bedroom wall. But opted against it, no need to fuck herself over for Sam Uley.

Ari

I fucking hate Sam Uley

2:15 am

2:17 am-Incoming call: Ari

"I didn't mean to wake you."

"You didn't. Besides, you asked if you could phone tomorrow and it is tomorrow."

"It is tomorrow."

"Indeed."

"So he's being ass, huh?"

"Pretty much."

"Why put up with it? He's your ex and he married your cousin. You owe him nothing. You know that, right?"

"It's very complicated."

"No, no it's not."

"Yes, yes it is."

"I heard Jacob Black had a complicated relationship with him too. Dude lives on the other side of the country now."

"That's different."

"You still love him?"

"Hell no!"

"Then why is it different?"

"It's complicated."

"So this is going to go nowhere?"

"Affirmative."

"Well than…want me to sing you to sleep?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Now it's three in the morning and I'm trying to change your mind. Left you multiple missed calls and to my message you reply, 'Why'd you only call me when you're high?'"

And then the night was filled Leah's soft laughter and Ari's goofy singing.

The next day as Leah raced down the road to school, running late thanks to Sam, Leah spotted Ben on his skateboard.

If she was running late than Ben was more than likely going to be late as well.

She slowed down and pulled up beside him. Rolling out her window to shout out:

"Get in the car, get in the car, get in the car!"

Ben brushed his hair out of his face and stared at Leah wide eyed. "Ms. Clearwater?"

"Get in the car." She stated firmly.

Ben flipped his board into his hands and then ran around to the passenger side and hopped into the vehicle.

"Sweet ride."

Leah smiled at him.

"Thanks."

Surprisingly, they arrived at school on time.
