Sam's POV: (Next day Monday morning before school)

"Lee." I said as I got down the stairs and saw her sitting there eating her breakfast. She looked stunning in that red mini dress and black flats. She had her hair up in an bun. I thought back to the events of last night. Fuck, since that make out session last night I cant stop thinking about her.

"Leah, I am sorry about last night." I said not able to meet her eyes. I look at everywhere but her . "It was an mistake. It shouldn't of happened. I am sorry Lee." I lied.

"It's not Lee. Or lee-lee or any other cute nicknames you might have for me. It's Leah. And don't even call me that. My name is Hailey now. At least that is the name I will be using at school. I am nothing but Hailey to you. I am Leah to everyone else, like say your mom, dad and your sister. And don't flatter yourself thinking that I enjoyed last night. Don't get it over your head Sam. I was high last night. I wasn't thinking straight."

She was back to being the bitch again. The sweet soft, vulnerable Leah from last night disappeared just like that. The girl I had an glimpse of last night, the real Leah Clearwater, the girl I am beginning to fall in love with. Not the fake celebrity Leah Clearwater.

In the car, she looked out side the window the whole ride to school. I sighed as I parked the car.

"I'm sorry, Leah." I said again. "I shouldn't of kissed you. I made an mistake."

"Whatever." she said.


Leah's POV:

"Hey, Sam what's up." Some guy shouted giving Sam an high five, when we got out of the car. I reached to smooth out the wrinkles on my dress to make it look perfect.

"Hey, Embry." he said giving the guy an pound. "Nothing much happening with me. Nothing more than usual. You?" he asked.

"Nothing. I don't get Claire at all." he moaned. "She is giving me mix signals. One moment she acts likes she might actually like me and than next she is all cold. She goes hot and cold on me all the time. I just wish I know what she wants."

"That sucks man. I know how much you want to be with her. Just keep holding on. She will come to her senses." Sam said. "I cant tell you how good it is to be single again. I am glad I got rid of Emily. She was weighing me down."

"Yeah." he said. "I really want to be with Claire. I really like her. I just wish I know how she feels about me."

"You should tell her how you feel. Like straight up tell her what you want. Tell her you want an relationship with her, not games. Tell her you don't want to play games with her. Listen to what she has to say." I said giving him my two cents.

Than for the first time, Embry seem to notice me.

"Hi." he said to me. "Who are you?"

"My name is Hailey Summers. Sam's mom and my mom are best friends. And she just had me come live with his family for an while."

"My name is Embry." he said. "You know, you do look familiar."

"Really?" I asked not sure if I should be concerned or flattered. "Who do I look like?" I asked with an big smile on my face.

He never gotten an chance to answer me, he was interrupted by another guy.

"Yo! Embry!" the dark tall muscular guy wearing an football jersey shouted.

"Hey, Emmet." he greeted him. "What's up man?"

"I lost my homework." he said panting. "I left the house searching all over for it. And I need to copy yours before second period. Did you do the assignment?"

"Yeah." he said. "Hold on let me get it out." He went through his book bag for his binder. On the cover I saw the poster of me. I was flattered.

"You like Leah Clearwater?" I asked.

His eyes lit up. "Yeah I do. I love her music. She is amazing."

Embry handed the homework to Emmet. "Hey give it to me after third all right?"

"I know, I know." he said. "Thanks man. You're a life saver." Than he seemed to notice me. "Hey." he said to me before walking off.

Maybe people in this town are not so bad after all.

"So, Hailey." Embry went. "Are you an Leah fan?"

How do I answer that? " I guess you can say that."

"It is so sad that she having an break now. I was planning to go to the Seattle concert."

"You know, if you like I can hook you up with good seats to see Leah sometime, when she's back from the break. Maybe you can even get to meet her back stage. I bet she would love to meet you." I said.

He lit up like an Christmas tree. "Really?"

"Really." I said smiling.

"How would you manage that?"

"Let's say I get connections."

"Come on, man." he Sam said. "Let's go. Or we will be late to class. And Hailey, you need to go to the front office and get your schedule." he said sweetly.

**** First period Chemistry class.*****

"Hi, I am sorry I am late." I said when I walked in to the class room. I walked up to my chemistry teacher, MS. Wistos. " I am Hailey Summers I am new here."

"That's okay, Ms. Summers. Now go grab the seat by Mr. Uley. Sam please raise your hand so she knows who you are."

I rolled my eyes. I sighed as I took my seat next to him.

"Okay, class this first assignment has nothing to do with Chemistry. This is your senior year. The last year of high school. For most of you in here, you have known your class mates since you were little. You grew up with them, you seen them in diapers, you used to play in the sand box with them. But how well do you really know your classmates? For some, there can be someone that always sit in next to you in your math class, or English all these years and you never even spoken to them. I want you to get to know your class mates in an deeper level. Even for those who thinks they know everything about them, you don't. I want each one of you to learn something new about your class mates."

"Ms Wistos." one girl said from the back of the room. "What do you want us to learn? I know everything about my best friend. We known each others since we are like babies."

"Emily, the point of this assignment is to learn something new. You cant know everything about her." Ms. Wistos replied. "Your grade in this first project of this semester is what you have learned about the person who is sitting next to you in an five minutes speech at the end of the project."

I looked at Sam. "I guess we are stuck together on this project."

"Do you even know how to do an project."

"Course I do." I snapped. "I may not of gone to school for nearly two years. But I still remember how to do school projects."
