Friggin' Tanks
Rain's Point Of View
'Joy, school, garr why does it have to be so frickin early' I thought while hitting my alarm to silence it so I could get ready. I found an outfit and went to my bathroom and did the normal stuff, having taken my shower the night before, I got dressed then brushed my hair, and teeth, then strengthened my hair, put deodorant on, then put my make up on. I looked at the finished product, sure I was no show stopper, yet I did have some beauty. My hair is a sandy blonde that sometimes look brown with blonde highlights, I had pale skin but ever since last summer when I was a lifeguard it had become tan. I had an athletic build so I was never the stick figure. My eyes are green, but a weird green, they are forest green around the edges of the iris, yet as you go closer to the pupil they get lighter to a liquid like greenish blue color. My mom used to say it was because my soul was that liquid like color, all innocent and trusting, and that's why when I cry I show my true emotions, the innocence, and the color extends to my whole eye. Deciding I spent enough time trying to justify my look I went down the stairs to breakfast, which I was surprised to find David had made for me. He gave me all the paper work I needed to turn in to the office to get my stuff for the day, and sent me on my merry way. I went to the garage, by passing all of the flashy cars, and went into my Ford Escort. Ya I know it's one of the crappiest cars ever made but hey it's a stick shift and it gives me something to brag about. Besides I'm already gonna be looked at all day for being the new strange kid, no need to escalate that with showing up in Dave's Ferrari, or any of his other flashy cars, although that Jaguar and Mustang GT are going to get a test run from me ….eventually.
Driving down one of the winding roads that plagued La Push I noticed a …well I guess it was a boy although he looked like a man walking next to the road. Had I not seen the backpack he was wearing I would've been worried about what he was doing. Since I'd left the house without figuring out how to get to my new school I figured I should offer him a ride.
Seth Clearwater's Point Of View
'Stupid Leah, why won't she just give me a ride to school, it's not like she is doing anything. Oh but I shouldn't wake her up so I can get to school on time, no she'll just yell at me then tell me to transform. I hate transforming to get to school then I get there naked and it's just weird.' I sighed trudging down the road toward school. It wasn't a bad walk I just found it an inconvenience especially since I shouldn't have to do it. I was so out of it I didn't even notice that a blue escort had pulled up beside me. I didn't recognize the car or the girl inside, she rolled down the window and I was taken aback, she was a looker all right.
"Hi, look I noticed you were on your way to school and I was wondering did you want a ride." She asked with the car still idling.
"Ah no I'm good thanks." She sighed and checked her mirrors before turning back to me,
"Look I didn't want to come out and just say it, but I have no idea how to get to school, and I figured if I gave you a ride you would be able to tell me how to get there." I sighed a ride would be nice so I nodded and climbed in the really small car. She smiled and checked her mirrors again before pulling back out onto the road.
"I'm Rain Shepard." She said while glancing at me between shifting the car from second to third gear.
"Seth Clearwater," I replied looking at her, she was defiantly one of the best looking girls around here. Her athletic build made her look better than those annoying sticks with eating problems, her hair looked soft and silky, her smile was warm and welcoming, yet her eyes were the best thing about her one could so easily get lost in those like anyone from the pack would get lost in the forest. After a little bit of silence she blurted out,
"Holy cow your tall are you a senior?" I snorted,
"Ha, no I'm only 15, just a sophomore." She took an unnecessarily long astounded look at me.
"So what caused you to be out walking to school?" "My stupid sister, Leah, she is supposed to drive me to school but she was out late last night so she didn't want to be woken up early this morning to drive her brother to school." She nodded in understanding while pulling into the parking lot of the high school, after pointing her to the part of the building she would need to report at she pulled neatly into a spot in the student parking lot. She turned to me and asked.
"So would you like me to give you a ride home after school?"
"Rah, well I probably wasn't going home, I don't want to be by my sis you know."
"Well if you want to you could come over and hang out my house." My ears perked she was inviting me to her house, she barely even knew me, but hey she was a looker so I wasn't complaining. I nodded and she gave me a heart warming smile before heading off toward the office.
Rain's Point Of View
I had no idea why I invited some stranger to my house, but I just wanted to make friends and he seemed nice enough. I went to the office and got my schedule looking at it, it didn't seem that hard. I turned around and walked right into Seth.
"Ugh sorry I realized I told you were to go to get your classes but not how to get to them so I thought I would come back and play tour guide." He said while picking me up off the floor. 'Man that kid is built like a friggin' tank. Well an overly helpful tank. He's like a golden retriever tank mix.' I thought. He grabbed my schedule and began looking at it.
"Well your first hour, French Lit, you'll have with this guy named Quil he says it's pretty cool, not a lot of kids in it. Second hour, Fiction Class, you'll have with these guys named, Paul and Jacob, they say it's a real discussion class. Um third hour, Business Calculus, EW you're a smart person aren't you? Well you'll have that with Embry, he's a math nerd but he says it's a great class. Fourth hour, Business and Personal Law, you will have with this guy named Jared and his girlfriend Kim, they both say the class is so stupid, and the teacher is dumb. Fifth hour, oh hey you have Debate that's cool. Sam Uley teaches it and it has me, Paul, Jared, Quil, Embry, and Jacob in it. It's really fun, although we don't really do I lot of debating I guess. Sixth hour, you aide for my French class, that's interesting, although it's a pretty fun class. Lastly for seventh hour, you have Forensics well you basically have a lot of the same people from debate in that class, but still we have a new teacher and she doesn't really know what she's doing." After Seth's long winded analysis of my schedule I did feel a little bit better about facing my classes today. It seemed like I would at least make a core group of friends, and since lunch was during fifth hour, I would have someone to sit with. Seth quickly explained the layout of the school, so if I had any questions about where to go I could answer it myself. Since we had twenty minutes before classes started I decided to attempt to walk my schedule, while Seth wanted to go meet up with his friends. After walking around and becoming familiar with the school, while tuning out the curious stares of the students, I finally made my way to my first class. French was always easy for me, perhaps it had something to do with that summer I spent in Paris with my mom and her husband, yet still I showed no fear when Monsieur LeBeau had me introduce my self in French to the class. True to what Seth told me, it was a small class of eight including me, with only one boy which was Quil. I sat next to him and just like Seth had been, he was friendly and welcoming. I went to second hour when the bell rang, I walked in glancing around the class and picking out the two boys Seth had mentioned. I began figuring out throughout my classes it wasn't hard noticing which boys Seth forewarned me about, if not by their overly friendly welcoming toward me, then by their sheer height alone and tank like stature. All of the boys in the group Seth hung out with were massively tall, and built with tons of muscles. It was easy to see that they were the popular bunch of the school, which surprised me that they were in debate and not on sports teams. Finally my favorite hour approached, Debate. Walking in I saw a lot of the boys I had met throughout the day, and a few other scattered girls one of which I recognized as Kim the girlfriend of Jared. The teacher found me standing in the door way and I remembered him from my house.
"Hi Rain I'm Sam I'll be your Debate teacher, look I know you were in Debate IV at your old school, but our program is in it's infancy so I might have to ask you a lot for help. We haven't really learned anything about the rules or the forums just basic theory."
"It's cool, I like live for Debate so I'll help you a lot, and I got the 'in' back home so they will send me some stuff to help you out." I replied. I liked this already, not only would I be in charge, but this class would be a less structured class which is how I believe Debate should be. The rest of the day was really lax; Forensics was also just a baby so the teacher was ready for my help. After school I went to the Debate room to go pick up Seth to head to my house, it seemed the Debate room was a gathering for his group of massive, muscled guys. I walked in and I finally picked Seth out.
"Hey, so you ready?" I asked, instead of a reply from Seth, Embry jumped in with "Oh, and where are you two going eh?" He asked wriggling his eyebrows. Seth blushed a bit and said,
"No where we are just going to hang out at her house, 'cause Leah is being a bitch."
"Pfht well if it's nothing, how about we join you guys eh?" Quil said.
"Sure the more the merrier, although I'm not sure you guys would fit in my car." I replied.
"Nah, don't worry about it Jacob can drive us and we will follow you." Paul said.
"Sounds like a plan." I said. So Seth and Paul followed me toward my car while Kim, Jared, Embry, Quil, and Jacob walked off toward Jacob's Volkswagen Rabbit.
