Behind The Swoosh Part 2

1.  How much do Nike workers make in Indonesia each day?  How many hours a day do they work?


Nike workers make $1.25 a day in Indonesia and they work for about fifteen hours a day for five to six days a week.


2.  What is life like for Indonesian Nike workers at home?


Life for Indonesia Nike workers are tough. Five to ten families all share the same well for water, they all share the same shower facilities and the same bathroom area which is just a little plastic toilet bowl. Kind of like the one you buy your child who is being potty trained. When you get paid only $1.25 you can't buy much only 2 bowls of rice, a 
bottle of Iced tea and some vegetables, and if your sick you can buy an aspirin and some juice for your vitamins but then you wont be able to eat for the rest of the day. Mike had bought a small bottle of shaving cream and a small razor that he will only be able to use two to three times but now he has to skip 3 meals that week, when he already lost 25 pounds.
Also in one "house" there were 4 women living in it with all of their belonging in it. They had everything and it was only a eight by eight square room!


3.  Why won’t Nike talk to Jim or Leslie or let them visit the shoe factory?

I think Nike won't let Jim or Leslie visit the shoe factory or talk to them because unlike what they said in their website they do have something to hide because they are over working people for terrible
horrible pay that can barely keep them alive.

I Imprinted on a vampire...Whoops!(Leah Clearwater){03}

Leah’s P.O.V

"Leah these books are giving me a headache!" Seth whined for the hundredth time today.

"Not my problem." I snapped at him.

Alice sent us to the library to see what we could research about the new vampires. We’ve been in here for three hours. So far we got nothing. Nada. Zip.

I closed the book I just pulled out and went back to looking. I looked to my right to see Seth playing with the ladder. Sliding from side to side.

"Seth your supposed to looking to ya know" I complained.

" Got tired of looking." He said with a shrug.

I sighed and kept on looking at the bottom rows while Seth continued with the ladder.

I was about to give up when I felt something hit my head.

"Ow" I said even though it didn’t hurt. I looked up and saw Seth with a grin spread across his face.

"Wipe that grin off your face or I’ll do it for you" I threatened him

"Wipe that grin off you face or I’ll do for you" He mocked me making stupid faces.

"Really Seth I thought you got over that in third grade" I threw back at him as I bent down to pick up the book he threw on me.

The cover was interesting.

It was just a plain green color. It had no author or title. I was curious. I opened up to the first page.

Elena Gilbert

I guess I found the author. I flipped to the next page.

This was a diary, But how did it end up at a library?

The first page was about how she was excited about her parents buying her a diary. The typical stuff. I was about to put it back when something in my gut told me I should read it.

"Seth I’m leaving" I announced as I walked away not even bothering to look at Seth as I did. Cause I know all he’ll do is whine.

I walked to the same old deli shop I’ve been going to for years.

I swung the old door open and a gush of cool air conditioning hit my face. I smiled and relaxed. The cool feels good against my skin especially with my temperature. I walked up to the counter to see it was Dylan’s shift.

I let out a sigh.

Dylan always had a crush on me but I don’t like him.

"Hi Leah" Dylan smiled at me with his big round brown eyes.

His spiky jet black hair covered in a layer of gel.

I hate that. When guys put too much gel on their hair, It’s not such a turn on when a guys hair is plastered with gel.

"Hi Dylan, can I get coffee and a tuna sandwich" I said giving him a forced smile.

"Coming right up’ He said before he turned around.

I walked to the back of the room and sat down waiting for my order to be called.

I opened the book to the page I was on.

So far it wasn’t that interesting, it was all about Elena being the queen bee of the school and how her best friend Matt asked her out.

She said yes to him but still said that she felt a little awkward because they grew up together and that was still weird but she was getting used to it.

Elena Gilbert seemed shallow but it seems that there was something bothering her.

Caroline.

I pictured her as one of those girls the pretends to your friend but only want to take you down.

I could almost see her fake smiles by the was Elena described her.

How she would pretend to support her when Elena won something but inside she was burning with jealously.

Next came Bonnie.

Bonnie seemed a lot like Angela. She would always be there for you, and had this never ending positive spirit.

I was getting so into the book that I almost jumped out of my skin when Dylan brought me my food.

I murmured a quick thank you and paid.

Walking home mystery boy had slipped into my mind.

I wonder how his first day of school went? I hope that Claire hadn’t sunk her self-absorbed cheerleading teeth in him.

The slight image of her kissing him filled me up with this anger. I couldn’t place so I just shook it off.

I guess I wasn’t looking were I was walking and almost fell on my face.

Until two pale hands snaked around my waist and caught me.

"Hi again." His voice made my heart race. I felt like I was on cloud nine.

I looked up to see the same icy blue eyes that made a shiver pass through my spine. He had a smile on his face. The smile that made my stomach do flips.

"Hi." Was all I could say.

It was like all of the words had just slipped from my head. I was high on him.

His hands were still wrapped around my waist. I looked up at him a saw him smile.

His smile made my heart skip a beat. I was happy that he was happy. I was happy that I could make him smile. He looked back down at me.

I felt a smile creep it’s way to my lips.

He must have noticed were his hand were because he immediately pulled them away. I frowned.

I was perfectly comfortable in his hands.

"I’m Hayden Night." He offered his hand for me to shake.

Hayden Night. So that was mystery boys name.

"I’m Leah Clearwater. You’re new here right?" I asked trying to start a conversation.

"Yeah I moved here from New York."

"What’s it like?" I blurted out.

I always wanted to go to New York but I never got the chance.

I was planning on going a couple of weeks after I found out about Sam and Emily, but then dad Umm……

I couldn’t bring myself to even think of it.

"It’s very noisy." He responded

"Isn’t like all the things they say in the commercials. The city of lights?" I asked hoping I didn’t sound like a complete idiot.

"Well.. yeah I suppose but that’s just one side of it. So were are you heading?"

"I was heading home."

"I’ll walk you." He offered

"I would love that." I said probably grinning like a fool.

We started walking and I actually got to get a good look at him. I loved how his black hair would sway with the wind.

He almost had the bad-boy look down but if you look into his perfect blue eyes. You see that there’s a down to earth guy there. We walked most of the way in a comfortable silence.

By the time we got to my house I didn’t want the walk to end.

"This is my stop" I said with a tint of disappointment in my voice.

I turned my head and saw that he had a frown on his beautiful red lips.

"I’ll see you tomorrow Hayden." I said. Not wanting to say goodbye. It looked like neither did he.

"See you tomorrow Leah." He said before he turned around.

A small smile made it’s way to my lips as I watched his retreating figure.

I felt in total bliss when I walked through the door.

I Imprinted on a vampire...Whoops!(Leah Clearwater){02}

Hayden’s P.O.V

When I arrived to Forks Washington I felt empty, leaving home was the hardest thing I could ever do. My hand automatically reached for my neck. I felt Katherine’s lapis lazuli ring. All of a sudden it weighted a ton. I couldn’t believe she’s dead. My mother died because of a stupid hunter.

Katherine was a cold hearted woman but after she met Erik Night she became like an actual mom.

Erik Night was my step father. Erik Night was a different kind of vampyire. He was a house of night vampyire. They had a crescent moon on their forehead, Erik told me stories about how every vampyire had their own unique mark. Erik’s mark was awesome, I started from his crescent moon and circled around his face from to under his eyes. I loved hearing his stories. He told us about this girl named Zoey Redbird, She broke his heart and had about two different guys that liked her. He said that he would always love her in a way but not like he use to. Zoey made many mistakes with him but, she seemed nice just a girl that was very confused. I met her once and she became like my aunt. I could count on her for anything. I still visit sometimes. Katherine was okay with this. She trusted Erik. She never doubted his love for a second. Katherine had met him in a poetry reading and always said that she fell in love the moment she heard his voice. Mom would always tell me that story.

I looked down at the dirty white squared floor, of the airport. I still can’t believe she’s dead. My heart felt empty without her. She would always make me smile. Erik was just destroyed when he found her dead. He had tried to kill himself, It was horrible. There was blood everywhere. The memory still hunts me.

If it wasn’t for Zoey and her special circle I don’t know what would have happened.

I couldn’t face him leaving me. He was my father.

I always knew who my real father was but I could never get the courage to face him,

He didn’t even know Katherine was pregnant.

I sighed and walked to the rental station.

I rented a car and drove all the way down to my new house.

I sighed as I walked through the door.

The house wasn’t that bad. I set all my stuff on the floor and went to look around.

The house had two bedrooms and a huge living room.

I had already ordered all the furniture in before I came.

I went to the living room and sat in the plush white couch. I looked around.

A 50 inch plasma T.V. hanging on the wall. The plain white walls.

And my mother’s coffee table.

Not a soul in here. So quiet you could hear a needle drop.

The quiet was mocking me. Telling me that I was completely alone, and that I will always be like that. My heart felt like it weighted a million pounds. My stomach twisted into knots.

‘Alone’ The word nagged at me. One simple five letter word made me want to throw up.

It echoed through the whole house.

I sighed and walked over to my room.

It was an exact replica of my old room. The walls were painted a calm blue and my bed in the middle. I should unpack but I am a little jet lag. So I took some sheets from my luggage and slipped into blissful sleep…………………………

I looked down at my mother’s body. Her pale body covered in cuts. My blood boiled through my veins. I smelled vervain the moment I stepped through the door. I could see the pain in my moms blue eyes. She was fighting for the little piece of life she had.

“Mom please don’t leave.” I pleaded as I lifted her fragile body off the cold ground. Her perfect curls dangling. Her small hand cupped my face, a small smiled appeared on her lips. I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulder. That stupid hunter.

This was all my fault. I should have gotten to her sooner. I tried but I couldn’t get to her on time. They cut her with knives dipped in vervain. They made her choke down vervain. Tears fell from my eyes. I could see how hard it was for my mother as she used all the strength she had to remove her lapis lazuli ring off her finger. Katherine placed it in my hand. When she placed her ring delicately on my hand, it felt like she was saying good bye.

“Give this ring to the woman you fall in love with. I’m sorry. I love you” Her voice croaked.

“Why are you sorry mom? Come on I’ll get you to aunt Zoey. You’ll be alright” I said trying to convince myself than her.

Her soft small hands cupped my face. She wore a smile on her face. I could see a spark of happiness in her icy blue eyes. “It’s too late. Remember I will always love you. I will always be there when you need me. Just light a red candle and dream about me and I will come. I will always love you. I’m sorry.”

Those were her last words. She closed her eyes and sighed. I felt her go limp in my arms.

“NO!” I yelled. I grabbed a piece of glass off the floor and cut my wrist and prodded her head up. I put my wrist on my mother’s lips. Hoping that my blood would heal her.

“Please mom I need you.” I pleaded at her lifeless body.

I felt somebody’s arms trying to pull me away. I just held on tighter.

She can’t leave me. They managed to pull me away but I hit whoever he was and fell to the ground next to my mother’s dead, lifeless cold, body. I held her against my chest and cried like I’ve ever cried before.

She’s gone. She left. It was all my fault.

***

I woke with a jolt. A shiver passed down my spine. The memory of my mother’s death still haunts me. The look in her eyes. I was so stupid to leave her alone.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I looked at the caller ID. Erik.

I sighed and put my phone down. I have to forget about the death. I came here to start fresh. Forget everything. I got ready for school.

Wow. I'm going to school. All these years of being home schooled I still don’t know what to expect from high school. All the movies I have seen should be enough right?

I sighed as I looked in the mirror. My black hair covered my plain blue eyes. My pale skin and red lips. I had the snake bite piercing. I put on the ring and left with my leather jacket.

I still can’t shake the feeling of being watched. I turned around but couldn’t see anyone.

I think I’m going crazy. I sighed and got into my car. It was a sleek black Ferrari.

I just brought it yesterday.

Yes I’m rich. But hey when you live forever you learn how to invest.

When I got forks high school I ran inside. I saw no one outside and the everybody’s car was already parked.

Ugh I hat being late for the first day of school.

It was very easy to find the main office. I went inside to see an old lady with huge round glasses. She looked like she drank a cup of spoiled milk. She kind of scared me.

“I’m new can I get my schedule?” I asked sounding bored.

“Name?” She asked her voice like something was shoved down her throat.

“Hayden Night.” I always used my step father’s last name.

“Yes hear you go.” She handed me the piece of paper.

I sighed and looked down at the paper.

I had biology first period, room 114.

I made my way down the hallway to the room. Not really looking ahead of me.

I collided with someone and fell on top of them.

“I am so sorry.” I heard a girls voice say.

Her eyes looked up at mine. Our noses almost touching.

Hear brown hair all over the floor.

“It’s my entire fault. I should have been looking where I was going.” I said. She had these honey brown eyes. They were beautiful.

I saw her blush. My fangs prodded at my gums. She smelled so delicious.

Like the forest. So natural.

No don’t you dare drink her blood. Mom taught you better!

A voice nagged inside my head.

I don’t want to- wait who are you? I don’t have time for this!

I got off hear. I saw all here books scattered around the floor. She bent down to pick them up but I already had them stacked.

“T-t-thank you” she stammered. Her voice was nice and soft. I liked it.

“Leah! Come on we have to go.” A voice from down the hall boomed at her.

So her name is Leah. It’s not a name that was commonly heard of.

“Well I should be going. See you later.” I said

“Bye” I saw disappointment flood her big brown eyes.

I watched her walk away. A smile tugged at my lips.

I imprinted on a vampire...Whoops!(Leah Clearwater){01}

Ring! Ring! I heard my stupid alarm clock ring. I rolled over and slammed it to the ground. Probably breaking the dang thing. I buried my head in my pillow and fell into a blissful sleep.

I woke up to the sound of a large bang. “Can’t somebody get some sleep in this stupid house!” I screamed just as my brother came walking through the door.

“Hurry up you’re late for school” He said so calmly.

I raised my head trying to look at the clock above the door. 8:30!

“Seth why the heck didn’t you wake me up?” I growled at him putting on my jeans. I put on a black short sleeved shirt and brushed my teeth. I completely ignored the food mom had left out for us and grabbed my baby blue sweater, not the I needed it, just for show. I jumped in the car and speed my way down to school.

God. I’m the only one going to school. Seth, Jacob, Paul, And Jared dropped out. But I wanted to have a career so I was the only one going to school.

I got to school just in time for science class. When I came in there were lots of whispers about some new kid. I sighed and sat down at my usual seat, all the way in the back.

All the cheerleaders kept on shooting glares at me and adjusting their hair every five minutes. See you would never find this at La Push School.

I never liked going to that school so I convinced my mom to let me go to forks high school. And since all the blood suckers are going to college I can be here in peace.

I know I don’t really have that many friends except Angela and Adrianna.

Adrianna had just come to the school and we instantly clicked.

She would be here today but she got sick with the flu.

So I guess that I'm just here with Angela, as if on cue Angela came with a huge grin on her face, her hair in a low pony tail. She was wearing a nice simple blue shirt with blue worn out jeans. I was always jealous of her eyes. They were a beautiful color green. I smiled back at her. She walked towards our table.

“Oh my god, did you hear?” She asked me

“Hear what?”

“There’s a new boy in school. I’ve heard he’s hot. I can’t wait to see him.”

That’s what all this gossip is about? I rolled my eyes. All this over a new boy.

“Hey you haven’t even seen him so don’t judge” Angela says as if reading my mind.

“Says the person that thinks that he’s the best man on earth, without even seeing him yet” I shot back

“Oh don’t get your panties in a bunch, just because you still can’t get over Sam.”

As soon as the words fell out of her mouth she knew the mistake she made.

Sam Uley broke my heart. No wait.

He didn’t break it he stepped on it. He jumped on it. He shattered it into a million pieces.

“I am so sorry Leah. I didn’t mean.”

I quickly nodded not trusting my voice.

I could feel tears in my eyes. I quickly blinked them away,

“It’s okay I know you didn’t mean it. But your right I need to get over it.”

I could see the hurt in my best friend’s emerald eyes.

“Angela it’s okay” I reassured her

We started talking about what we were going to do during the weekend.

“LEAH CLEARWATER PLEASE REPORT TO THE MAIN OFFICE.” Boomed through the loud speaker. God I rushed to school just to go back home!

I waved goodbye to Angela and started to walk down the hallway.

God I swear if this is something stupid I will kill Seth.

I sighed and closed my eyes

I bumped into something and fell on my butt with someone on top of me.

“I am so sorry” I looked up and saw the most gorgeous pair of icy blue eyes in my life.

“It’s all my fault. I should have been looking where I was going.”

I couldn’t look away from his eyes. I could hear my heart racing. I tried to look away but I just couldn’t. It was like I was hypnotized. I could feel his breath on my neck. I felt a blush rise to my cheeks. I felt my breathing ragged.

He got up and helped my up too.

I saw his body. He had the emo hair cut. It covered his eyes I you weren’t really looking at them you would barley see them. He was wearing a nice leather jacket with a plain black shirt, under it with a pair of black skinny jeans.

I couldn’t seem to look away until I saw all of my books scattered around to floor.

I bent down to pick them up until I saw pale white hands beat me to it.

“T-t-thank you” I stammered as he handed the books to me.

We both just stood there. Looking at nothing and saying nothing. I wasn’t an awkward silence it was comfortable silence. I didn’t notice how long we stood there until I heard

“Leah! Come on we have to go.” God! Could Seth have worst timing?

I didn’t want to leave this boy, but I knew I had to.

“Well I should be going. See you later.” His voice was like a melody. I could listen to it all day.

“Bye.” I said and reluctantly walked to my brother.

I wanted to kill Seth by the time I got to him I was ready to strangle him.

“What was the big emergency that you just had to pull me away from school?” I should have said ‘what was the big emergency that I had to leave mystery boy’

“Jake called in a meeting. Said it was very important”

I sighed and went with him.

I wonder what’s mystery boy’s name? Where did he come from?

There were a million questions buzzing through my head like a million bees

Before I knew it we were at the Cullen’s place.

We went inside not even bothering to knock. From the moment we entered Rosaline was shooting glares at us. God like we wanted to be here. It reeks.

Emmet and Jasper were in an intense game of chess. I could see Alice mouthing Emmet’s next moves to Jasper. I rolled my eyes at that. Carslie was nowhere to be seen, as were Edward and Bella

I looked over to the right of the room and saw Jake playing with Renesmee. Of course.

He didn’t even notice us come in. I rolled my eyes.

“Yo Jake.” Seth called out to Jacob

Jacob looked surprised to see us here. What the hell he told us to meet him here.

“Oh yeah, Alice said she needed to tell us something important.”

Alice stood up from the computer leaving Jasper to win the chess game all by himself.

“We recently discovered that there are vampires in town, but they are not like us.”

“You mean they don’t hunt animals or what?” I asked

“No. They are like the vampires we hear in the movies. They get brunt be sunlight, you have to kill them with a stake through the heart. But we have to be careful around them. I don’t really know that much but all I know is that they are more powerful that us.”

Wow I never knew that those kind of vampires existed. I am perfectly happy hunting down our regular vampires but now we have to hunt down these to.

“Leah I need to ask, are there any new students at the school?”

“No” I immediately responded. I don’t know why but I just felt like I needed to protect this boy. I barley even knew the kid and I was already trying to protect him!

“Leah I need you to go tell Sam about the new vampires.” Jake finally spoke up

No way. Heck no I refuse to go to Sam’s house. I will never set a foot in there. Not ever again.

“Heck no. I refuse to go.” I snapped at him.

“Leah it’s an order.” Jake said his tone cold.

“Fine” Was all I said before walking out with Seth right behind me.

When we drove far enough away I went and talked to Seth.

“Hey Seth can you go and talk to Sam please?” I pleaded.

“No Jake said no and that’s that” He said. I cannot believe I’m about to offer this.

“I will clean your room for the next week.” I bargained.

“Make it two weeks and we have a deal.”

I sighed “Deal.”

That night I went to sleep with mystery boy in my head. I can’t wait for tomorrow…
