Snippet #1822771

Leah clothed in a short blue fitted dress with heels leaned against the door of her car, keeping the fake yet charming smile on her face intact merely for the image as her friends.. if they were called that.. conversed about the latest gossip in school. Leah only pretended to be interest, keeping up with the gossip and who is with who and whatnot was beyond her likeness though if she was in desperate need of information she had her 'gossip sources' to find out but that came in the rare occasions.

Tapping the edge of her phone she waited for the familiar sound of the bell ringing, she was in need of some sort of distraction soon enough especially after the events in the Field's house this morning. Even though it was quite a few hours past the incident it still drove Leah's mind to the edge. The morning was just another excuse for her father to start on Leah's appearance with the glossed and straightened hair, light touch of make up, the manicured nails and whatnot. He spent practically every second complaining about how the women of the family were all into excessive materials and looks to capture guys. It was lucky enough that she was used to all this behavior and kept her mouth shut. Maybe she should've just spoken up about how it was him that demanded that the Fields kept their image, she couldn't just walk out the house in rags.. It might have brought an end to the torment rather than living the breakfast table mid-way without a word as she did earning snarky comments from her brothers.

The mere flashback brought a frown to her face, but she quickly wiped it away before one of the girls decided to question her on the matter and the last thing she needed was confrontation. Keeping her family's truth didn't seem as difficult as she thought it would, she had kept a barrier around her hardly letting anyone close actually make that no one. There was no one that Leah opened up to, not even the slightest and maybe that is what gave her the whole bitchy and stuck-up personality where many people saw it that she believed to be better than them. Then again Leah couldn't blame them that is what she came across like.

"So are you going to that party next saturday Leah?" a girl asked with a wide grin, snapping Leah out of her train of thoughts.

Leah frowned for a second and pulled away from leaning as she stood up straight "Did you just say Leah?" she asked in a stern voice with a quirked eyebrow.

The girl flinched a little at the tone of voice from Leah's voice "I'm.. sorr-y-y.. I meant Miss.Fields" the girl replied with a stutter.

Being in a frustrated mood beforehand usually meant that when it got to school and conversing with the public, Leah wasn't the sweetest character. "You know better than to make a slip-up like that.. I don't remember saying you could say Leah" she responded with a scoff, using the back of her hand to brush the ends of her from her shoulder.

The girl merely nodded, and before another voice could interrupt the ringing of the bell became the interception and the end of the conversation. Leah took a sigh of relief underneath her breath and without another word she walked off carrying her black bag in hand making her way to the next class. She kept her head held high, keeping on the fake smile which came across more as a confident smirk rather than anything else. Passing a group of jocks she rolled her eyes at their comments and looks just as she approached the door she was searching for. Looking over her wrist watch she noticed she was just in time and slipped in as other classmates gave her way.
