I sat comfortably on the plane seat. I had always loved flying and wanted to travel the world some day. Today was the day that I would get to see her family after a few years. I had been living with my big sister Rebecca and her fiancé for a few years whilst my other sister Rachel (Rebecca's twin) was at college and my big brother Jacob and dad lived in La Push. I wasn't really sure why I had to leave but about a year ago Jacob began to get really mad all the time and the next minute my dad was speaking to me about living with my older sister in Hawaii for a while, I was pretty unsure at first but he some how convinced me. About a week ago my dad called me and asked if I wanted to come to La Push for a while and stay with him because he was really missing me. La Push made me uncomfortable ever since my mom died in a car accident when I was two. I was raised mainly by my dad and older sisters until they left me to 'move on with their lives' but I knew it was because they were also uncomfortable about Mom's death.
Ever since I arrived in Hawaii I began working out and running and I actually have abs. I'm kind of a fitness freak and have a habit to run everyday but I don't exactly eat 'healthy' which is kind of funny because I'm so fit. I have chocolate brown hair that goes just passed my breasts which has blonde tips because Becca and I dip-dyed our hair a few months ago. I have long, thick eyelashes and dark brown eyes that ''most people would kill for,'' well that's how my friend Ruby puts it. I first met Ruby when I moved to Hawaii, she just moved there from Australia so she could pursue her dream career as a surfer. Ruby has naturally golden blonde hair and bright green eyes. She would always remind me how much she wished she had my eyes and so did a lot of people in Hawaii (mostly the blondes with blue eyes).
I missed hot, tanned Quileute boys, everyday guys would flirt with me in Hawaii but I always turned them down, most of the guys were total douche bags.
Telling me that I was 'hilarious' was a huge compliment to me, Ruby and I were really sarcastic and trolled everyone, like this one time we put blue Gatorade in a thoroughly cleaned Windex bottle and drank it in public, it was SO funny. People looked so shocked and an old lady actually came up to us and grabbed the bottle and tried to take us to the hospital.
Gr, I just remembered that I forgot to tell Becks about washing my school uniform- oh crap! I have to start a new school, great! My dad told me that I would be attending school on the reservation, ''don't worry pumpkin, you'll fit in.'' His words of ''wisdom'' ran through my head.
The pilot informed us that we would be landing in a few minutes, and told us that the weather was going to be freezing! Luckily I was wearing a wine colored over-sized jumper, some black tights and some brown ankle boots with a bit of a heel on them, my hair was in a fishtail braid on the right side of me. I couldn't wait to give my dad a giant bear hug.
A few minutes later I landed and had already collected my luggage when I saw Jacob standing a few meters away from me with a huge grin on his face. I was going to walk straight past him with a straight face just to bug him. ''Dakota?'' He called as I walked off but I was suddenly enveloped into a giant hug.
''I know, I know, your life just got better.'' I said and hugged him back.
He looked at me inspecting how different I looked, I did the same, the last time I saw Jacob was a few years ago when he had long hair, and was shorter. He looked like he had grown a foot, or two..
''Come on you big ass, I want to see other people two!'' I said dragging him in another direction. ''Where's the car?'' I asked with a cheesy grin on my face. He kept staring at me in shock, ''if we go now, I'll let you carry my bags,'' I said hopefully, he snickered and picked up my luggage before taking me towards the car.
Ah, the rabbit. What a wonderful surprise, I hoped that this thing would be extinct.
''Dads going to freak when he sees you.'' Jake said as he began driving.
''Oh my gosh Jake, you have to see my abs when we get home!'' I said excitedly and changing the subject.
''You have abs?'' He asked and I nodded happily.
''So how's Becca?'' He asked, I knew he missed Rebecca.
''Oh she's great, we did a lot of sister bonding! I miss Rachel though!'' I said sadly.
''Yeah, she said the same thing about you yesterday on the phone!''
''So Jake, are there any good looking dudes here?'' I asked, trying to do what I do best, piss him off.
''Kota, I'm not letting you near any guys. Anyway Seth wants to see you.'' It was his turn to change the subject.
''Oh yes, my dear friend Seth. How old is he now?''
''He's still your age doofus.''
''Awks my hawks.''
''What does that even mean?'' He asked as he laughed.
''It means your an ass.'' I said smugly.
''Hey Jake, how mad would you get if I walked down first beach in a bikini in front of all you friends?''
He tensed up and gripped the steering wheel tighter with one hand while the other flicked my shoulder, ''Pretty mad.''
''Good,'' I said turning to face my window, ''Oh and Jacob, you should not have started a flicking war with me.'' I said and flicked his shoulder playfully.
This was going to be a long ride home.
