I was woke up by that annoying bleeping alarm clock next to my pillow- 'great another day of school to look forward too' I thought sarcastically. Even still, it was better than hanging around in this mad house. Sleepily i climbed out of bed, almost falling onto the floor as I did and felt my head- jeez, my temperature was high- again- it had been like this for a week now but I had no clue as to what was going on, mom insisted it was nothing but Sam Uley and Jacob Black from the La Push gang kept giving me this look ever since I started heating up, like they were worried about me or something. I probably just had a fever- my sister Leah had it too, she was staying off school for a couple of days but I insisted on going.
"Come on sleepy head!" my mom shouted from downstairs, "Seth!" she then yelled when I didn't reply, "You're going to be late for school!"
"Yeah Seth, go." Leah encouraged groggily from the room next door, "Some people are trying to sleep around here."
Yeah, I was trying to sleep until that bloody alarm clock started going 'beep beep beep' down my ear hole.
"Kay." I moaned yawning, "I'm coming!"
Down stairs I was greeted by my caring mother, Sue Clearwater. My dad wasn't around, I think I knew where he was but I asked just in case.
"Hey mom, where's dad?" I asked.
"Like you can't guess." She laughed, "Fishing with Charlie Swan- again."
"Thought so." I muttered, swiping a slice of toast out the toaster and coating it with butter. "Thanks for breakfast." I complimented cheekily.
"Hey! That was Leah's, Seth- you know what she's like." Mom complained.
"I'm a growing boy." I reminded her.
"Seth, your fifteen." She reminded me straight back.
"Yeah well, like you said- im going to be late!" I complained just as an excuse to get away. I ran up the stairs to quickly splash my face with water and brush my teeth, damn I was really burning up.
I got to school with only three minutes to spare, my school was the only one on the reservation, and I had to go here. Its where all the La Push kids go - I looked around the parking lot to see Jacob Black and Embry Call hanging around by the office- Embry Call another one of those older kids with the tattoo on his arm- I'd noticed that quite a few of the older boys had all got very big and had a Quileute tattoo.
I walked past them trying not too look in there direction- they just stared at me like I was a freak, they were soon greeted by Quil Ateara and thankfully stopped staring at me. God that gang was creepy.
"Hey Jake, how's the girlfriend?" I heard Quil ask Jacob.
Jacob sighed, "Bella isn't my girlfriend- just a friend."
Bella Swan they were talking about, I'd heard that she didn't live on the Reservation, somewhere in Forks; her father was Charlie Swan- my dad's best mate. He was the chief of police and like my father, loved fishing.
Bella and Jacob had gotten really close at the start of the year- all until her ex-boyfriend Edward Cullen returned and they got back together.
Jacob was pretty pissed about that- I didn't know why though, I'd heard him tell other people in his year that he didn't like her boyfriend, but I was sure there was something more to it than that.
The bell rang then and made me concentrate- maths first, great- Algebra.
"Hey Seth!" A girl called Cassie squealed excitedly from the back of the classroom as I walked in- apparently she had a real big crush on me, she was quite pretty too. With her long, pin-straight silky black hair and her perfectly bronzed skin.
"Hey Cassie." I nodded towards her.
She giggled and her friends ran quickly up to her, circling her so she was the centre. They all started gasping and clapping, 'oohing' and 'awing' until Mr. Rodgers- our maths teacher walked in and settled us down with a math quiz.
I hated maths.
Luckily- the time flew by and the bell soon rang for break.
I stood up and was about to walk out the door when a rather joyful girl called Sarah ran in front of me, "Seth! Seth! Seth!" she jumped up and down excitedly.
"What?" I asked getting bored, no doubt this would be something about Cassie or one of her other crazy friends.
"Cassie . . . well Cassie . . . Oh my god Cassie!" she squealed.
"What about her?" I asked raising my left eyebrow
"She has a … MASSIVE … crush on you Seth! She really does, and she would so so so so so so so so LOVE it if you asked her out!"
I thought something like this was going to happen soon, I twisted my head to see Cassie gaping at her friend open mouthed, a lovely blush covered her skin when she saw me looking at her, and she quickly looked away embarrassed.
"So . . ." Sarah trailed off impatiently, trying to regain my attention.
"So . . . what?" I asked.
"Are you going to ask her out or not!" She demanded.
"Hmm . . ." I thought for a moment. She was pretty- and a lot of the guys did fancy her like crazy, but she only had eyes for me as it seemed. I might as well give her a chance, its not as if I had trillions of offers anyway. In fact if I did date Cassie she would only be my third girlfriend. "I'll think about it." I told Sarah, hoping she'd leave me alone now. My wish wasn't useful; she stayed where she was glaring into my eyes. "Are you just saying that to get rid of me, or are you really considering it?" she asked sounding hopeful.
"I'm considering it." I told her honestly, hoping again that she would leave me to think by myself.
"Okay! I believe you." she said walking away, "But hey, Seth- think quickly, and don't mess her about! She really has got feelings for you."
"Got it." I muttered.
Five minutes before the end of break my phone vibrated in my pocket, I looked at the called ID: Leah.
"Hey Leah." I answered, "What's up?"
"Nothing Seth, are you okay?" she sounded really worried, scared. Either for herself of me.
"Yeah Leah, im fine, just hot, you know." I muttered, she'd know I was referring to my temperature as hers was the same.
"Okay good. And nothing strange has happened?" she wondered.
"Naw Leah, like what?" I asked confused, "Oh wait! Yeah something has happened, I got asked out by Cassie."
"Aww. How sweet." Leah muttered like she wasn't really bothered, she wasn't really herself these past few days. "Just let me know if anything . . . strange starts happening okay? I'm the first on you tell."
"Sure sure." I mumbled, "Leah, are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine Seth- just remembers, if anything strange happens, you can tell me." and then she hung up.
I could almost here the frown in her voice as she spoke to me, she sounded so upset and scared, like she was about to cry. What could have possibly happened to her to get in this state? I hadn't heard her like that since Sam ended there relationship so he could get straight back into one with my cousin Emily Young- I could kill him for that.
The bell for end of break went and I headed off to my next lessons: Science, English and then Double Sports. Thank god it was a Friday- lie in tomorrow and no work. Hopefully no homework either.
The rest of the day went on for what seemed like eternity, I was team captain in basket ball and my team won 6-3.
"So." Sarah asked me at the end of sports, "Have you decided yet?"
To be honest I hadn't even thought much about her or Cassie, I decided now to give it a go- we could watch a movie tomorrow night or something.
"Sure- tell her I said yes."
I watched in delight as she squeezed me into a bear hug and ran of screaming "Cassie! He said yes!"
I got changed back into my black jeans and 'what you looking at' slogan T-shirt.
I started to walk out the changing rooms when I had another call: Leah. Again. What was wrong with this girl? I'd have to speak to my sister when we got home and demand an explanation.
"Sup Leah?" I asked answering the phone.
"Seth!" she cried, "Why didn't you ring me?" she demanded.
"Because you said to ring you if anything strange happened, but nothing has happened." I explained.
"You could of rang me and told me that." She argued.
"Yeah but, seriously- school literally finished ten seconds ago, im not that fast you know." I reminded her.
"Oh sorry! As long as your okay." She replied.
"Yeah yeah, im fine- honest. Anyway got to go, I got a date tomorrow."
"Nice. See you." She muttered and hung up.
Sarah was waiting for me outside with a shy looking Cassie standing behind her. "Come on!" I heard her moan, "He's your new boyfriend." Sarah squealed dragging Cassie up to me.
"Hey." I muttered shyly, looking to the ground. Since when did I turn shy? I looked back up to Sarah not meeting either of the girl's eyes.
"Hi." I heard Cassie say, it was almost a whisper, I looked at her, staring into her eyes, why hadn't I fancied her before? She was the prettiest girl in our year, and one of the smartest. Every boy was always following her around asking for her number.
"I'll leave you two to it." Sarah said breaking the silence, "Be a gentleman and walk her home Seth." She scolded me.
"Obviously." I muttered and Sarah ran off into her big brothers car.
"So." I started, "Shall we go?" I asked Cassie.
She just nodded and started walking towards the gate.
I held out my hand to her, she shook it. I laughed.
"No silly." I mocked, "At least hold my hand so it looks like were walking together."
"Oh, sorry." She giggled, twisting her fingers on her right hand into my left hand, I walked her all the way home, It was only a few streets away from my own home though, thankfully.
"Ring me." I said, leaving her at her door and giving her my number.
"Come on sleepy head!" my mom shouted from downstairs, "Seth!" she then yelled when I didn't reply, "You're going to be late for school!"
