Promise

Teachers Pet

Lei'wa's Pov:
Me and Tsireya go to see if there's anything else to do for the Sullys. "You girls will teach their children how to tame an ilu. Ok?" Tonowari ordered. "Yes father." Tsireya says, I just nod. "You children go tell them the plans for tomorrow and then get rest. You'll probably need it." Ronal says.  Aonung laughs. Me and Tsireya tell them and they just stare but I realize why. "Tsireya, where has your earned level up Tsahik accessory gone?" Tsireya feels for it. "Oh no!" She runs to her dad to tell him. I watch as they all go out into the water search for it. I just stand there with the Sullys behind me watching it too. A small girl grabs my hand and holds it out. "Guys look! She has hands like Lo'ak and Kiri." Lo'ak and Kiri must be the four fingered siblings I saw earlier. "Tuk let her go. I'm sure you're making her uncomfortable." The mother says. "No it's fine really. And I didn't catch your guys names. Can you tell me please?"
Tsireya's pov: We are searching for my head piece and I watch Lei'wa talk to the Omaticaya family. "Lei'wa! Come help us!" I shout. I watch as she apologizes and runs over to help us find it. After a good while, we find it. It was buried under the sand a bit farther out from land. After we find it we all go back to business. Getting ready for bed, giving the Sullys their night equipment. That sort of thing. "Lei'wa can you just go. I'm really tired and I don't feel like doing it." I beg her. "Fine." She says, grabbing their things from my hands and walking toward their home.
Lei'wa's pov: "Here you are." I say, as I put down their night equipment and hand it to them. "Thank you." Says the little girl, Tuk, smiling up at me. I smile back showing the dimples that I have. They almost match Tsireya's, but, she only has one on her right side. "Thank you." They say after Tuk. I give them all a quick smile. "Lei'wa!" Aonung calls. "What?" I yell back, clearly annoyed. "Come on and stop hanging out with those-" I cut off his sentence by throwing a stone at him. "Be nice!" He lifts his arms into the air as if saying 'What did I do?'
Aonung's pov: "You coming or what?" I ask, impatiently. "For what?" She yells. "You have to hang out with Me and Rotxo since the others are asleep." I say. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep? And who says I have to hang out with you?" She says, sternly. "I do. I mean you are promised to me so, You have to." I laugh. I can see her roll her eyes and thinking about whether she should or not. "There's no use to thinking, I already said you have too." I say as I see the two freaky boys whispering to eachother. Probably about the way I talk to her. "Fine." She gives in.
Neteyam's pov: "So her name is Lei'wa?" I ask Lo'ak. "Yeah. That's what everyone is calling her, so, yeah it is." He says. "She pretty isn't she. She seems nice too. But that boy Aonung treats her like-" I get cut off. "Hey! You boys get ready for bed. And don't cause no trouble, alright?" My dad says. "Yes sir." We both say before getting settle for bed.

Lei'wa's pov: It is morning, the day of training. I wake up Tsireya. "Come on we have to go early. Your dad said." I say, worried that if we wait too late her father will get upset. "Who cares. I just want to sleep." She complains. "I care." Tonowari says from behind me. Tsireya hops up and runs to the Sullys. "Thank you for remembering, Lei'wa." Tonowari says, smiling. I nod and run after Tsireya and the others getting into the water where the ilu's are. I walk up to them and get in the water. "These are ilu, if you want to live here, you have to ride." I say. "I will teach the girls." Tsireya says. "They're Kiri and Tuk." I correct her. "Ok, Kiri and Tuk. I will teach you. And Lei'wa will teach.." She waits for me to finish her sentence. "Lo'ak and Neteyam." I say, finishing it for her. "Make the bond gently." I say. "And hold here." I point to where they hold on and then they take off without me having to say anything. Neither of them fall off but Kiri and Tuk on the other hand were struggling. When the boys turned around and came back, we waited for them on our ilu so we could swim together. After they finally got it, we swam together and had lots of fun.

you and lo'ak

"Imagine a flickering flame. You must slow done your heartbeat," I say. I place my hand on lo'ak's stomach and chest. "Breathe in. Breathe from down here." He was doing well. "Breathe out slowly." His heartbeat starts to speed up. "Lo'ak, your heartbeat is fast." I say, looking at him. "Sorry." He says, his heartbeat getting faster then before. "Try to focus." I say, looking back down at his stomach. "Ok." He says. After we all did the Breathing Exercise, Aonung and his asshole friends came. "Well, what do we have here." He says, sarcastically. "Aonung go away." Me and Tsireya say at the same time. One of his friends "accidentally" step on Lo'aks tail. Aonung laughs about it. "Aonung, leave. And apologize." He stops laughing. "Oh, so you're taking up for the freaks now?" He asks. "They're not freaks, Aonung!" I yell. "I mean for fucks sake, new people come and you get upset because they're boys and I hang out with them! I can do what I want." I say getting, closer to him. "Just because I'm promised to you does not mean I have to do what you say." My voice dies down a bit after realizing I just told off the cheifs son infront of everyone. Aonung and his friends leave, talking about the way I "disrespected" him.
Lo'ak's pov: This Lei'wa chick is cool. She just told off the cheifs son infront of his sister! I see what Neteyam was talking about. She is really cool. After I snap out of my thoughts I see Lei'wa with her face in the palm of her hand. "What's wrong?" I ask, genuinely concerned. "It's just, Aonung and his friends treat me like shit just because I'm promised to him and I hang out with other people." Her eyes start to water up. "Hey, hey, hey. It's ok don't cry." I pull her in for a hug and l watch as the others don't even acknowledge her, except Neteyam. He's staring me down like a hawk. She pulls away from the hug. "I think you just became the Teachers pet." She smiles, showing her deep dimples
