Okay so Im back. Did anyone understand in the last chapter that Leah can see ghosts? I just ask because no one seemed to notice:/ oh well:)

Dont Own Anything:p

Chapter 3: Copper Letters

"So does anyone wonder what they put into these mystery meats?" Collin asks while looking closely at the meat on his fork. I look around bored. Me and my table of friends are sitting in the cafeteria. Rachel is sitting between Kyle and Calvin. I'm sitting between Calvin and Seth. Of course he has his hand on the back of my chair. Next is Rebbecca and Lilly. Collin and Brady are sitting side by side also.

"Collin the last time one of us ate the mystery meat, they had to go to the nurse then stayed home for a week." Seth tells him. When Seth says 'one of us' we all know he means me. Last year in the 7th grade I made the mistake of trying the food and of course I was puking out my guts for a week.

Everyone laughs and goes onto another topic but I just look around our table. Sometimes it bothers me that we think of our group so highly but its actually true, We're kind of the shit. We are the outgoing group and the loudest in the cafeteria, when someone tries to suddenly sit with us, we kind of shut them out. We only take certain people. But that doesn't mean we are mean to people who aren't in our group because we are, nice I mean. We just don't hang out with them at lunch. Some of the girls I know ask me how it is sitting at the 'popular' table. I usually am caught by surprise when they call me popular, I never really wanted to be known for popularity or even known. I wanted to be the one in the background no one ever notices. Im just not really good with attention. But since I was friends with Seth when we came to middle school I kind of was labled popular being best friends with the schools 'hottest' guy I guess. Our table is smack dab in the middle of the cafeteria where all the other kids stare at us in aw or envy. That's the one thing I hate about being 'popular' so to say. Some people automatically judge me to be the popular snob and are mean to me from the beginning.

Our group does everything together. If one of us want to join something like soccer, we all sign up too. We all have the same electives. Art and computers. The plus side of having a brainiac(Brady) for a friend in the group is they know how to make us our own personal chat room on the school computers without teachers noticing.

I start looking down at my chipped blue nail polish.

"Hey Leah, Whats wrong?" Rachel asks and everyone stops talking to look at me. All eye's on me.

"Nothing." I say with a fake smile. The boys seem to be fooled but Rachel,Rebbecca and Lilly look at me twice. I hear my cellphone buzz off in my bag. I get out my phone and see Seth lean in to see who it is. I lean away so he cant see, its from Lilly and it says Leah seriously whats wrong? We girls are all concerned.

I look up to see the girls looking at me and I smile again then text back. Im fine, you guys are just being paranoid:)But really Im not fine. Seth has been really touchy since last weeks make-out session. He's tried to kiss me more intensly but I just keep it on a rated PG13 level. He even snuck out of his house to 'keep me company' again in my room for the night on Thursday. Of course it consisted of kissing and him trying to get back that passion. I've been sad ever since I havent seen Jacob Black last week. I need to talk to him. It seems to kill me to not see him. Everyone knows there's something up with me and Seth but they dont know exactly what is going on. Thankfully.

I need to talk about this thing that Seth is thinking is a relationship today after school. Then I need to go hunting for a Mr. Jacob Black...

We hear the bell to go to our 6th hour. Computers.

Everyone gets up while still talking and laughing. Seth puts his arm around my shoulder while we all walk. I laugh with everyone and we make jokes on our way to computers.

"Hey Ms. Baileen" We all say as we all walk into our row of computers that we usually sit at. We talk before class starts but once it does we have to listen.

"Okay, Class settle down and hear what I have to say. Okay so the Forks police Chief found the body of 17 year old Kelly Sanders." She says while holding a paper with the picture of Kelly. "She was missing for about a month and once they found her it seemed like she's been attached by a animal that drained her blood. I know your all wondering why Im discussing this but Im discussing this because Im trying to tell you not to go into those woods because its not safe at all." She looks concerned and passes the paper down our ile. I sit there whispering to Seth about anything. We're still whispering when Seth gets the paper,doesnt bother to look at it and keeps talking to me. I look at it when he passes it to me. Its her.Kelly was her name I guess! Ms. Baileen said something about Kelly getting attacked by a animal that drained her blood. But she told me that theywould find her. It couldnt have been a animal, right? Kelly hasnt been visiting me since the last time that stupid Seth interupted. Why hasnt she been seeing me lately?

"Leah. Do you know this girl?" Ms. Baileen asked while looking with sympathy.

"Uh? No? Why would I?" I say. I can feel everyones eyes on me and I feel my cheeks heat up. A moment like this makes me thankful that my cheeks are always red as if Im blushing.

"Lee, what was that about?" Seth asks when the teacher walks to the front of the class to start teaching.

"Um nothing Seth."

"It didnt seem like nothing." He insists.

"Well sorry to disappoint you but It was nothing." I say and look straight. Im in deep thought about Kelly, I know she wasnt attacked by a 'animal' like everyone thinks she has. I need to find out why the police is covering this up. But how? I notice that Ive zoned out again. I look at Seth computer beside mine to see what we were supposed to be doing. Instead I see a personal chat that everyone except for me are in. Im reading off of Seths computer when He's not looking.

Collin: Whats with lil Miss. Bitchy Pants over there?

Calvin:I know right?

Rachel:I dont know she wont tell me.

Rebecca: Its bitchy of her not to tell us.

Lilly:She woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!

Seth: How do you know if she's even slept? She looks boring and dull today. :P

Brady:She's bringing the whole fun mood down.

Seth: I know it sucks.

Collin: Look she's not even interested in class either! Does she think she's too good for school or something?

Kyle: She's too distant

Rachel: Yeah, its annoys everyone

Kyle: When doesnt she annoy anyone?

Rachel:Yeah!

Calvin: True

Seth: Yup

Rebecca: Completely annoying

Lilly:Me 2

Collin:Thats a fact

Brady:Agreed

Wow, some friends I have. Even Seth? This is bullshit, I dont need this. They're getting on my nerves. Im not gonna sit here and let them hate on me, I dont stand for something like this. I start typing.

Leah: I know your all talking about me dumbasses

Rachel: Oh crap

Kyle: oh...

Calvin:Ops

Seth:Im sorry Lee D:

Lilly: OMG

Collin: Damn

Brady: Busted

Rebecca: Dont act like this Leah.

Leah: Rachel-Yeah 'oh crap' it is Calvin-Ugh. Seth-Shut it suckup. Brady: Busted indeed Rebbeca: You guys started this first duh!

They then try apologizing on the chat sight But it just pisses me off more.

Leah: Just STFU you guys, dont want to hear it. Apparently Im bringing down the mood so just leave me alone if you dont want your fun mood to get brought down.

Seth then turns to me. "Leah Im sorry. I shouldn't have spoke about you like that."

"Ha, just shove it Seth. Your only sorry that you got caught, now turn around and do your assignment."

Seth tries to hug me before getting to his work but I just flip him the bird and he gets the idea and does his work. You can obviously feel the tention in the air. A couple of times while I was working, Seth would try putting his arm around my chair but I'd just punch it off and he would silently whine.

Once the bell rang I was out of there before anyone could follow me. I walk to my next class alone which was Honors Science. I get in and notice that there are dead frogs on the tables with a tray under them. Great, dyception day.

...

Im walking home with my headphones in my ears listening to a song called Cosy In The Rocket. I don't bother to tolerate anyone of my friends after school so I just ignored everyone when I walked out of school. Im humming to the music when I feel someone sharply turn me around. Seth.

I take out my earbuds. "What the hell Leah? I've been shouting and running after you!" Seth says with a angry expression and huffing.

" Just go away Seth. I dont want to deal with you." I say as I start walking again. "So Im something to 'deal' with now?" Seth says while stopping and getting more angry.

"Yeah! Your a 'deal' now! Ever since you started to annoy me!" I yell at him because my patience with him was wearing thin.

"Wow Leah, now thats messed up." Seth tell me with hurt in his eyes.

"Well its obviously not perfect!" I yell and turn around to start walking again.

"Dont walk away from me!" Seth Shouts.

"You don't control me Seth! You never have! I don't take orders from anyone, expecially from you!" I yell because there's a thing that I have with orders, I hate them and nevertake them. I dont know why, but I guess its my #1 pet Peeve and Seth knows it.

"Well your going to take orders this time!" Seth yells back.

"The hell I am!" I say as I keep walking but feel Seth pull me around to face him.

"Ugh! Your so..Difficult!" He growls before crushing his lips to mine. There it is again, that certain warmness that reminds me of Jacob. I instantly close my eyes and think Im kissing Jacob. We're french kissing again, and have heavy breathing. Something suddenly screams in my head to stop this. The scream scares the fuck out of me because its not even my own voice, it sounds more high pitch and sounds like someones being murdered. I pull away instantly from fright and realization.

"NO! Seth, we cant do this again!" I yell at him as I pull away from his hold. "Seth, We're not a couple! Im just using you for affection and its sick and cruel! Its not fair for you at all because its giving you mixed signals and making you to think you have a chance when really you dont!" I say to him. Im yelling because Im getting more emotional about this. It needs to stop here.

"Leah, you like me so just admit it! Why else would you put in so much effort and passion into our kisses and let me be affectionate with you?" Seth shouts. He's convinced that I want him, this is so screwed up.

"I don't imagine you when we kiss! I imagine my soul mate when I kiss you and the passion you think that is for you is actually me imagining being with them. Not you!" I shout back. I know Im say VERY cruel things right now but it kept coming out like word vomit.

"Leah." Seth whispers with sympathy in his eyes and steps toward me. His breath washes over my face again and Im so into his intense stare right now. He puts his arms around my waste and is slightly pulling me in. Once I notice whats happening I step back. "No! Its not fair to you Seth!" I shout and tears are running down my face. I quickly turn around and run away to my home so he doesnt get me hypnotized by him again.

I get to my house and unlock the door and walk in, slam the front door and lean against it. I slide down and start to cry. I hate myself, I only used Seth, my worlds bestest friend. The one that loves me but I could never love back. I was just playing with his emotions because I knew I could. God, I hate myself! I kick my backpack away from me in frustration.

I hear a knock on the door and stop for a second. I hear the knock again. I stand to look into the peep-hole. I see no one though, I open the door and see a copper colored envelope with the words Leah. I look around for exactly a minute trying to find anything out of place but I couldnt find anything. I pick up the envelope and shut the door quickly and locking it. I grab my bag and walk upstairs in my uncomfortable squishy shoes. I change into dry clothes thinking about Seth. This is my own fault, I let me and him get this far, I should have seen this coming. What about Jacob? Wait,what about Jacob? This has nothing to do with Jacob! We aren't together and I dont love him so why think of him? Do you really not love him?My conscience says. I run downstairs to put my wet clothes into the washer and walk up back to my room. I look at the copper envelope on my bed, its tilted. I remember setting it down perfectly straight towards me when I put it down. I try not to look out of character but I know someone is in this room with me. I feel someone behind me, I pretend I'm going to pick up the note but instead I swing my fist behind me. I swiped my hand though a ghost.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" I say as I see the white mist hurries out of my room,down the stairs and probably though the door. Dammit, it could have been Kelly. I don't think about it much before turning around again and pick up the envolope. I rip it open and read.

Come out into the woods when you read this. There's a surprise waiting for you there, but no company with you.

Thats all it says. What if its Jacob? Or Seth? But something in my gut tells me its either. I feel like going into the woods is a bad decision. I avoid the note but put it in the back pocket of my mystery journal. My mystery journal is filled with mysteries I try to solve. My newest one is Jacob and Kelly's files. I try to take my mind off of Seth,ghost, and Jacob so I walk into the kitchen and look for anything I could make. I see a box of blueberry muffins so I get everything out and clean the measuring cup, I glance up to see something in the woods move. It was too quick for me to see but I know something was there. I pretend to go in the other room and turn off the kitchen light. I quickly sneak back to the window. Oh god, I look like such a freak. Right when I think Im crazy I see someone? come out. They step closer and into the moonlight. I cant see their face. They're wearing a black jacket, black pants, boots and the hood is casting a shadow among their face. Okay, now I know something odd is up. I should be calling the police for this but I think this person is part of my own mystery, bringing the police will only scare them off. They take another step toward the house, but suddenly looks sharply to the left, into the woods and runs. I need to figure out whats going on here, and fast.

So a lot happened. Leah's friends are seeming to turn against her. She found out who the ghost is. Seth drama. Appearing the mysterious person in the wood.
