The day school gets out. Finally, Leah thought.
"LEAH MCKENNA BELL. GET UP!!" Her mother yelled up at her.
Leah McKenna Bell, she hated when her mother used her full name.
"Coming, mother." Leah 'yelled' back. She was never one for yelling, especially back at her mother. See, Leah's mother was the type to verbally abuse her. Sometimes she would yell at Leah so loud that Richie Tozier, her neighbor, would come and knock on her door to check on them.
Leah jumped out of bed and got ready quickly. She pulled a white short sleeve shirt over her head and pulled on some jean shorts. She went into her bathroom to brush her teeth and her hair, then applied some lip gloss. She went down the stairs and her mother was waiting for her at the bottom. Leah prepared to be yelled at. She was supposed to get up early today, but last night she stayed up and read. Her mother eyed her up and down.
"Leah McKenna. Waking up early I see?" Her mother sneered sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, I was just very tired I guess.." She cowered under her mothers gaze.
"Just...come on..you're gonna ride your bike to sch-" Leah's thoughts cut her off as she blanks out, due to how tired she is. She's being oddly nice today..maybe its just me I don't know.
"LEAH! Did you hear me?" Her mother said as she snapped Leah out of her thoughts.
Leah sighs in defeat. "I- no.." Her mother glares daggers at her.
"Why the HELL do you never listen?!" She sighs as she recollects herself. "You're riding your bike to school today, bye Leah." Her mom finishes.
Leah looks at her mom with wide eyes as she just yelled at her. "Bye, mother." Leah then bolted out of the door and gets on her bike. She starts pedaling to school when she hears yelling behind her.
"HEY HOTSTUFF!" Leah slows down and hops off her bike to see who just yelled that in the middle of the road. Of course, its the infamous Richie Trashmouth Tozier riding on his own bike up to her. She giggles.
"Hey Richie."
"Wanna maybe bike to school together?" Richie asks. Leah thinks for a moment.
"Umm I guess, but my mother would kill me if she saw me biking with you." She says with a frown.
"Oh, well you can go ahead and I'll join you around the corner, how about that?" Richie says with a hopeful, yet sympathetic smile.
"Sure." Leah hops back onto her bike and zooms around the corner eager to bike to school with someone other than herself. She's never really had any friends, to be honest. They either turn out to be fake, or her mother ruins the friendship. She thinks that Richie might actually want to be her friend, which she was very happy about.
On the other hand, Richie is absolutely ecstatic that she said yes. Well, actually "I guess" but in his mind that works as a yes for him. He's had a crush on Leah ever since she moved in next door, which was in the 6th grade. Now the kids are in 8th grade and his feelings towards her haven't changed one bit. He watched her go around the corner and gets on his bike to catch up. Once he caught up, an awkward silence fell upon the two.
"Sooo..." Richie says in attempt to break the awkwardness. Leah giggles at him.
"What's so funny?" Richie turns to her with a confused face.
"Nothing, just you." Leah laughed.
"Oh, so you think I'm funny? Come on! That wasn't even my best work!" Richie complains as Leah laughs harder. He then looks at her with a funny expression which made her laugh even harder. So hard, she almost crashed her bike.
"I'm not even sure what was so funny. I guess it was because it was silent then you have to hit me with the 'sooo..'" Leah says as she calms down and imitates Richie. They see the school coming up so they decide to part ways. The two exchange their goodbyes and Leah starts to the school.
"HEY LEAH WAIT!" She hears Richie yell and turns around, confused.
"Yeah, Richie?" He blushes slightly.
"I just wanted to say that I had fun" He smiles and looks at her. Leah returns the smile.
"I had fun too." Leah then continues walking on her path, leaving Richie to stare at her.
