Memories.


I woke up with crusty eyes. I groaned.

Here goes another day of hell.

I went and took a long shower, then i put on some jeans and an old green top, with a stripey jumper ontop. I ruffled my hair, and it made it look alright, good enough for the day.

I slumped as i walked down the stairs, once i reached the last step i slipped.

"Crap" i yelped in a high pitched tone.

I heard someone run from the kitchen but i was out. Cold.

I could hear a faint voice call my name, it kept saying it, i scrunched up my eyes, and blinked.

"Leah?" Dad said worried.

I croked, "Dad?"

"Oh, thank god, you fell and-" I cut him off.

"Yeah, i know, anyway, i better go to school now, oh, joy" i said.

I was never quiet around dad, coz i know him well, and well...he was all i had. Since mum died i had gotten quieter, and then eventually dad had become the one i speak to mostly.

I walked to school with my bag over my shoulder, and up ahead i saw the 'girls' from yesterday. Great, i was just thinking how wonderful it would be if they had all disappeared over night.

The tall blonde turned around and said, "Hey, leah, come here" she called.

It was like an order, i couldn't stop myself from going up.

Once i arrived, she looked down at me, "Leah?" she asked.

I looked at her.

"My name is Cindy" she smiled.

I knew this was all a trick, so i just nodded.

"Bianca" Said a girl with curly reddish-brown hair next to her, she seemed like the second 'Leader'.

"Marcy" Said a small girl at the back of the group, she would have probably been the same height as me, she was pretty, and had nice brown hair sitting out.

Cindy coughed. It was the type of cough where you are covering a person, or mocking them in a really obvious yet non obvious way.

"Tanya" The last girl said, she looked snobby and her nose rinkled after she soke to me, she had short brown hair , and was just glamourous, not pretty.

I smiled, then turned to walk away.

"Leah?" Tanya called after me. She sounded snobbier than before.

I turned and looked up at her, in a questioning way.

"Your fly's undone" she burst into a fit of laughter, so did the other girls, all apart from Marcy.

I turned around quickly knowing that i was red, and i pulled it up quickly.

What a crappy start to the day.

I must have looked grumpy when entering the class coz Henry croked an eyebrow at me.

I shrugged at him, he nodded.

"Okay, today we are going to learn about Chemical's reacting" Mrs. Roberts said, she was the nicest science teacher ever.

She smiled in my direction, i looked down emediatly.

Near the end of class, Mrs. Roberts said "Okay, we are going on a feld trip to La mongatle"

Cindy raised her hand, "Mrs. Roberts, Uhm...what does that mean?" she said in her girly voice. I hated her so much.

"It means, we are going to see a movie, thats the name of the movie" Mrs. Roberts answered.

I raised my hand, i never raised my hand "Is the movie in French?" I asked quietly.

"No, sorry Leah" She replied.

I nodded.

The bell rang, and everyone ran out of class, while i packed my books up.

"Oh, Leah, Hello" Mrs. Roberts said.

I smiled, shyly.

"Here is a letter to go home to your parents, Just get mum to sign it" she said then smiled widely.

I gasped a little, mum had died 1 year ago, i was okay with it, but it still hurt to not have one.

Mrs. Roberts looked at me questioninly.

"I'll get dad to" i muttered.

"Ohkayy, whatever suites, but why not mum?" She asked.

I gulped, "She passed away last year" i said, then ran out the class.

I shoved my books in my locker while i wiped away a couple of tears, once i closed my door, Henry was there.

I looked down and wiped the last tear away.

"Whats wrong?" He asked worriedly.

I shook my head, "Nothing" i mumbled.

"Oh, coz-" He started to say, but i cut him off.

"Is Cindy your girlfriend?" I asked, desperatly trying to change the topic.

"Umm...no, just-" he trailed off.

"Yes, I am" Cindy said from behind me.

I raised my eyebrows at henry, then started to walk away, i heard Cindy say some things to Henry.

"So..what are you doing tongiht?" She asked, in a sexy girl voice, "Could i come over?" She invited herself.

I then heard her lips brush against his, i shuddered and walked faster.

Someone grabbed my arm, and turned me arond.

it was Marcy, i smiled.

"Hey" She said.

She looked pale, and closed her mouth suddenly.

"Hey" I managed to say.

"Wanna hang out with me?" She asked.

I shrugged, "I guess" i muttered.

"Cool, It's just i don't like Cindy and her crue, i want a real friend" She said sadly.

"Well, I'm here, with no-one" I said shyly.

She giggled slightly, and i could tell we were going to be friends, she was nice.

"Henry likes you" She said, while we were walking.

I coughed, "Not true" I said.

I was talking, normaly to someone, i never talked to anyone normally.

We laughed.

"Is Henry going out with Cindy?" I asked.

"Hah! Noway, she just used him once at a party, and like acts all sexy around him, it's just to make sure you stay away, I don't see why, she has a boyfriend on the football team-He's an idiot, Just like her" She muffled her laughter, then it burst out in little chuckles.

I laughed with her, "Good" I said.

Marcy was a little taller than me, she was also a lot prettier too.

"Your really pretty, wait no, your beautiful Leah" She said, "Cindy is really jealous and so she will act all hostile towards you" she said.

"Yeah she will, but I'm not" I felt my face get hot, "Your prettier" I added.

She smiled, "Thanks, NOT TRUE!" she said.

We laughed.

Finally I had made a friend. Thats what i needed, someone to talk to. Thats all.
