Hunkiest looking men
I looked down the long corridor, crowded with students buzzing with the latest talk and gossip. I was probably one of the subjects the girl that moved here from England to live with the uncle that is never around. Yup that's me life couldn't really get any crapper, first my parents get killed in a car crash and I was heartbroken about it I still am but what more can you possibly do. Second just hours after their funeral am I whisked away to the little reservation of La Push in America where I am placed under the care of my last remaining relative. My uncle.
He's not that bad though he reminds me of my dad a lot they both have that same grin and those dreary eyes. When I look at him sometimes I feel the pain in my chest hurt more and I can't help but wince at the memory of my father. After a week of me mainly staying in the house I found out that he was rarely around as he worked in Forks and had many business trips so I would have to fend for my self most of the time. I didn't mind that much either really, I would rather be alone. His name is Nahuel with copper tanned skin like my father and a crop of short black hair. I didn't have the same type of skin I was pale like my mum yet sun rarely same in England yet even here in La Push the sun was seen as more as a treat, I was the outcast already here lets see how much I can withdraw my self.
I entered my first class which was Math, why do they call it that it's Math's why do they leave out the S, without it the subject sounds strange and foreign. I walked into the class not bothering to look up to see all the students staring at me but moved straight up to the teachers desk.
"You most be Sky Adlington, I'm Mr. Gregor if you need any help please just come to me." I nodded my reply and he must have took the hint that I didn't really want to talk. "There is a desk at the back for you." I looked up and there at the back in the corner was my desk, wasn't so bad at least it was by the window so I could look out of it when I got bored. I took the walk down the center of the class as Mr. Gregor began his talk about the previous homework, still eyes watched my every movement.
I slumped into my chair with a low sigh, I hated school at least in England I was at college and your teachers were more like your friends, yet by coming back here I was reduced back to having to listen to lessons in the usual fashion where the teacher would droan on and I would instantly zone out. I placed my books on the desk but I wouldn't open them not yet anyhow they were repeating stuff I had learned ages ago. This was going to be a long day.
I just about managed to survive until lunch quiet happily knowing that art and music were my last two lessons of the day. I walked slowly to the cafeteria and had that feeling that everything stopped and everyone was looking and me, I literally turned right back around and got out of there. I wish I was back home in England I had a few of my friends there, they were what managed to keep me sane but now I had nothing, literally no one. I felt my eyes beginning to sting but I hadn't and I wouldn't cry, I didn't even cry at my parents funeral infact I haven't cried since then. I quickly wiped my eyes from the threat of traitor tears and wandered down the corridors not looking where I was going when I walked straight into something hard.
"Sorry." I mumbled as I looked up to see who it was and there stood in front of me was one of the tallest people I had ever seen, I mean I'm only 5 ft 2 and he seemed like a complete and utter giant to me.
"Hey it's okay, looked like something was on your mind." He grinned down at me showing off his pearly white teeth, I couldn't help but look up at the rest of him he had deep brown eyes and shaggy black hair which seemed untamed, it was greatly obvious he had muscle too.
"Yer well I best be off." I said as I side stepped him, embarrassed to be in such a presence.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I dunno to be honest I'm new." I shot back as I wandered further down the corridor when I realized he was striding next to me in quick steps.
"I guessed that." He was still smiling like a Cheshire cat. "So what's your name?"
"Umm why are you talking to me?"
"Being polite it's what people do." He frowned a little. "Now come on and tell me or I shall go ask all the gossipers of this place."
"NO, no please don't." I did not need more talk about me. "I'm Sky, Sky Adlington." He grabbed my hand in his and his was so warm I felt engulfed as if my hand was about to burn off.
"Seth Clearwater nice to meet you Sky."
"Hmm now I'm gonna go."
"Why? Don't you want me as your friend." He certainly was persistent if I became his friend would I be respected more, if I wasn't would I always be the loner of the school. I let out a low chuckle, it cant be that bad plus he seems like a good enough person. "Is that laugh a yes."
"Whatever just please I don't really like much attention."
"Kay." He grabbed my hand once more and dragged me back towards where I had run away from. Again as we entered not only were people starring but now they had gone completely quiet. I tugged at Seth's grip wanting to get away from the eyes, the stares, the silence but he was strong. He pulled me further in and to a table near the center of the room, great just what I wanted. "Just ignore them all alright, your new so you will be the topic of conversation for a while, plus you being English seems to make it all that much more interesting."
"Great." I replied sarcastically, why did I chose to befriend a giant who lets face it wasn't that bad looking. Then I realized I had made the biggest mistake by being his friend as the table he was dragging us too was filled with big, burly, tall men who all looked like they spent hours at the gym. One word … crap!
"Guys I found us a new friend." Seth said as he pushed me slightly forward towards the table, there were three girls sat with them looking extremely happy where they were and who wouldn't be.
"Seth man what have we told you stop picking up random chicks." Said the one with a goofy grin and longish hair, he had one of the girls on his lap and hugged her protectively.
"Em leave him be you know Seth just cant help himself to make friends." Said the girl who had long brown hair with a heart shaped face sitting in his lap.
"Sorry babe."
"Say sorry to Seth not me." She giggled as he rolled his eyes theatrically.
"Sorry Seth."
"That's alright Embry, any how this is Sky, she's new and from England." Again I was nudged forward, I looked up at Seth to which he just nodded. "They aren't gonna eat you."
"Yet." Said one of them but I didn't quite know who had come up with the statement so ignored it. Seth must have gave in with me as he sat down with them and pushed one of his friends over a bit to make space for me. I slowly sat down and shied away under my hair trying to come up with a plan to get out of this.
"So Sky I'll introduce you to this lot alright." He started with the guy closest to me, he had emo hair and wore the usual skinnies and studded belts like me, my type of person. "This is Collin his brother is around somewhere I'm sure you will see him soon, then we have Embry and his girl Liz, Quill, Jacob and Nessie, Steven he's the youngest, Alex; Collins brother you can just see the resemblance and then there's Amy the love of my life."
"Umm hi." I said to them all with a small wave.
"Cat got your tongue?" I knew it was Collin from the closeness of the voice.
"I just don't like attention."
"Oh don't worry give it a week and this lot will break you." Amy smiled up at me, her smile seemed just as nice as Seth's, she had curly blond hair that fell to her shoulders and green almond eyes.
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?" Embry asked. "We are a bunch of responsible and nice young men."
"Come on guys, she's probably freaked by you all I mean look at your selves."
"All I can see is a bunch of the hunkiest looking men I have ever seen." I could instantly feel the blush at my cheeks, no one could not agree with that. "See and she knows it." Embry chuckled.
"Em leave her be." Liz hit him again.
"Hey Sky there is nothing to be scared about, we would really like to be friends with you." Nessie was talking now, I liked how it was the girls who seemed to of been gently inviting me into their group where as the boys were basically forcing me in. Nessie was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen, she had pale skin, bright golden eyes and bronze hair that flowed to her waist, everything about her screamed elegance.
"Thank you for that, I really appreciate you accepting me."
"Well why wouldn't we?" Jacobs question had slightly thrown me off.
"Umm well because people normally don't socialize with me easily, well in England they didn't I only had a few friends." I ducked my head again, it was always like that with me, people sort of just stayed away from my group of people.
"Well we are your type of people now Sky, any problem you can come to any of us."
"Thanks Jacob." He nodded and turned his attention back to Nessie fiddling with a strand of her hair.
"So what classes do you have next, I'm guessing you are seventeen like us." Liz asked.
"Yer I am just turned." I don't know what it was about these people but I already felt happy and comfortable with them. "I have Art with a Miss Green then Music with…"
"Mr. Cullen he's my dad." Nessie finished.
"Your dad is a teacher here?" Jacob mumbled something so low I couldn't hear but I guess it was an insult by the look of his annoyed face.
"Yer sadly, but he's alright he has an attuned ear for a musician, always finding them."
"Yer his class is great me and Brady are in it, guess you will be joining us." Collin nudged my shoulder.
"Seems so." I looked up more now flicking away my black fringe away from my eye.
"Well I have art with you." Liz added as if trying to compete for me. "can't wait to see your style."
"I'm not that good really I just do it for relaxing." It was true it kept my mind of my parents, when doing creative stuff I could forget about them but when doing subjects like English or Math I cant help but remember them. Then before I really realized it I was thinking about them again, zoning out and focusing on the last time I saw them. They were heading out to meet some friends of theirs at a restaurant but never made it back to see me.
"Sky, hey Sky the bell went it's time for art." Liz waved her hand out in front of my face, I shook my head looking around slightly dazed to find the cafeteria was now filtering out students but the table I sat at still remained.
"You alright Sky, you really zonked out then?" Seth asked as he placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Yer I'm good, just thinking." They all shared that look of 'okay she may be a little weird' before they started going to their lessons.
"See you in music." Collin smiled before heading out, leaving me Liz and Embry. We walked to our class and Embry kissed Liz goodbye, you could tell they were in love by the way they acted around each other like love sick puppies. It was in art that I found out a lot about Liz and Embry because all she could do was talk about him really, she asked about me too and I shared with her my tastes in music, style and that I lived with my uncle. Turns out her dad's worked with him and she knew how it felt to be left alone, yet her mum was there along with Embry. It wasn't that bad a lesson.
It came to Music and I was already itching to do something music related and I was also intrigued into what Nessie's dad would look like. Liz briefly described him as a ginger god but that was about it. When I arrived to the listen I was astounded Mr. Cullen wasn't the god I was looking at, I was looking at the one sitting next to Collin.
