CHAPTER 1

Lierah Collins ran her hands through her light brown waves. She was fixing to be off to school, to another day of high school in La Push. Lierah hated La Push and she hated high school, she was so glad this was her senior year and she would get to say good bye to La Push and all the people in it. People there made her life miserable, she didn't fit in with the rest of the population. She was not full blooded Quileute, her dad Ray was full blooded Quileute and her mom, Clarissa was white woman from New York who met Lierah's dad when he was on a trip to New York for his job. Anyway, Lierah and had moved to La Push to live with her uncle Jeff, her dads brother when her parents separated and her mom moved to Paris to continue with her line of clothing she had always wanted to develop and her dad lived in London working his new job as head of one of the major companies there. She had moved to La Push at the end of her sophomore year in high school and kids immediately started picking on her, she was new, she wasn't full blooded Quileute, she looked more like her mom with her pale skin, brown hair and green eyes. She was also over weight, which was the main reason she got picked on. Rori, the most popular girl in school loved picking on her and pointing out everything wrong with her. Rori and her two followers, Sara and Tara.

Lierah walked into school and over to her locker, turning the dial and opening her locker. She shoved all her books that were in her bag in the locker and pulled the ones she needed for class out and closed her locker. She turned to go to class but was stopped when Rori, Sara and Tara stepped in front of her. She let out a sigh and looked over at them. Rori was the typical popular girl in school; tall, thin and pretty with perfect curves and a flat stomach. All the guys liked and wanted Rori and while she flirted with them and hooked up occasionally she always went back to Paul Lahote, a tall muscular, and though Leirah would have never admit it out loud extremely sexy guy. But much like Rori he only picked on her and was mean to her. They were both the most popular kids in school as well. Rori's clones Sara and Tara were just like Rori, tall, thin and pretty just like her but didn't seem to have much brains of their own since they did whatever Rori told them to.

"You're in our way fatso," Rori said meanly.

"Yeah maybe you should move your big butt out of the way," Sara told her and Lierah tried to walk away but they moved the same way she did.

"Oh wow, thunder thighs to slow," Rori said smiling evilly.

"Just move out of the way," Lierah said as Paul walked up and slid his arms around Rori and kissed her neck. He glanced at Lierah.

"What are you doing?" he asked smirking. "Having fun with the fat girl?" he asked and Rori smiled. Lierah rolled her eyes and turned to walk away but Paul was quickly in front of her.

"I don't think we said you could go anywhere loser," Paul told her and Lierah looked away.

"Just let me go," she told him.

"You don't belong here white girl and you never will," Paul said meanly and Lierah tried to hold back tears. She didn't know why she let them get to her, she should be used to their threats and teasing and how mean they were to her by now but she wasn't. Paul gave her a push into the lockers and he hit them with a loud bang. Everyone just walked passed her like they couldn't see her. "Just remember that," he told her and then he moved away. "Go," he demanded and Lierah walked around him but when she got in front of him he stuck his foot out and he tripped her and she would have hit the ground but she felt two warm arms catch her, her books scattered on the floor but she never felt the impact because she was looking into a pair of very concerned brown eyes. Jacob Black, of all people to see her like this it had to be him.

"Jacob," she said.

"Are you ok?" he asked and helped her stand and then gathered her books for her and handed them to her.

"Thanks," she whispered as she took her books from him.

"You're ok?"

"I'm fine," she assured him. "I just want to get to class," she told him and turned to walk away.

"Wait a second," Jacob said and she turned to him and waited for him to insult her like Paul did. Jacob and Paul were friends and they hung out a lot after school. "Don't think I didn't see what you did Paul," Jacob told him.

"So," Paul smirked. "You know she doesn't belong here Jake, the sooner she's gone the better." he added. "Its not like anyone here likes her, her own parents shipped her off, probably paid her uncle to take her in and get her off their hands," he said. "She's was probably an embarrassment to them just like she is to Jeff and La Push and everyone here."

"Paul, enough" Jacob growled and shook his head and turned back to see Lierah standing there, she of course heard everything and Jacob walked over to her.

"What class do you have now?" Jacob asked.

"English," she said.

"I'll walk you," Jacob told her and she opened her mouth to tell him not to bother but he must have read her mind. "I wasn't asking," he told her. "Come on," he said and she fell instep next to him down the hallway.

"So what's your name?" Jacob asked. Of course he didn't know her name.

"Lierah," she said.

"That's pretty," he said and she smiled slightly.

"Thanks," she whispered. "And thanks for not letting me hit the ground."

"Well Paul's a complete asshole on a good day," Jacob told her. "He shouldn't be picking on you."

"Well he's always picked me on Jacob, so have Rori and her followers," she sighed. "No one just seems to care," she told him.

"Lierah…."

"Don't Jacob, just don't get involved," she told him. "I'll be ok, I just have to get through senior year and then I'm out of La Push for good, none of you will ever have to see me again."

"Lierah I…"

"After all Maybe Paul is right," she sighed. "I don't belong here and I never will." she told him and turned and walked away from Jacob.

Later that day Lierah was at her locker when she felt someone bump into her and send her crashing into the lockers. She spun around and saw Paul glaring down at her.

"You're in my way tubby," Paul growled.

"I don't see how Paul, I'm standing in front of my locker, you're the one who ran into me." she said and she saw a shocked look appear on his face probably due to the fact that she somewhat stood up to him, but he covered it quickly with an angry scowl.

"You better watch what you say white girl," he growled and pushed her into the locker. The guy who had the locker next to hers turned to look at him but Paul turned his head. "Get lost loser," he demanded and the guy ran down the hall tripping over his feet as he went not even bothering to look back. Lierah looked away from Paul watching the guy run away and let out a sigh. Paul turned back to look at Lierah.

"I don't know why you stay here," he told her and she tried to leave but he grabbed her arm to stop her. "Don't walk away from me," he said angrily and squeezed her arm and he heard her let out a cry of pain. "The sooner you're out of La Push the better, since we don't want you here."

"Don't worry Paul as soon as I graduate I'm out of here and you won't ever have to look at me again," she said quietly.

"Good, the sooner the better," he said and pushed her into the lockers letting go of her arm and walking away. Lierah covered her face with her hands, she really didn't know if she would make it until graduation, maybe she could talk her uncle Jeff into letting her go to school in Forks, that's where she should have went anyway instead of to school in La Push.

That night before Lierah went to bed she stood in front of the bathroom mirror she had finger shaped bruises on her upper arm where Paul had grabbed her. She let out a sigh and turned around and saw a bruise on her shoulders where he had slammed her into the lockers. She shook her head and put her t-shirt on before leaving the bathroom and going to her bedroom and going to bed so she could get up and start all over again tomorrow.

The next day Lierah walked into school and to her locker. She hadn't ran into Rori and her clones or Paul so far. Maybe she would get through a day without seeing them. She felt someone push her into the lockers, she should have known it was to good to be true.

"You're in the way tubby," Paul growled and she turned around and looked up at him. She had no idea why he picked on her. She didn't remember ever doing anything to him to make him hate her so much.

"Paul," Rori said as she walked over. "Stop wasting your time with the ugly fat girl," she told him and slid her arm around his waist. "She might start to think you like her or something."

"I don't think she's that stupid babe," Paul said to Rori. "She knows I would never like someone like her," he said and turned to glare at Lierah and she took a step back. "She'll probably die a virgin anyway because no one will want her," he said and Lierah turned and ran off leaving Paul and Rori laughing behind her.

Lierah ran down the hall and into the girls bathroom and locked herself in a stall. She sat down on the toilet and covered her face with her hands and cried. Lierah was still in the stall a few minutes later when the door opened and someone walked in.

"Are you ok?" she heard the girl ask.

"Fine," Lierah sobbed.

"You sure?" she asked.

"Yeah," Lierah said and opened the door and walked out wiping her eyes with tissue.

"Hey," she said.

"Hi," Lierah replied.

"I'm Kim," she said and Lierah looked over at her.

"I know, you're dating Jared," she sighed and washed her hands.

"Yeah," Kim smiled. "What's your name?"

"Lierah," she answered.

"That's pretty," Kim said and she smiled. "So why are you so upset?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter because once senior year is over I'll be out of La Push for good." she told her and threw the tissue away.

"Alright," Kim said. "But that still doesn't explain why you're upset."

"Ok," Lierah said and she turned to look at Kim. "I hate Paul Lahote," she told her. "I have to get to class." she added and quickly walked out of the restroom and away from Kim.
