Crazier

Chapter 1

Celina's dark brown eyes rested on the grey skies above the car. She waited as her new foster brother, Nick Rose, lugged her suitcases into the trunk of his 1997 silver Toyota Camry. She had insisted that she would do that work, but he smiled at her and laughed about how her thin tanned arms would snap under the weight. Celina instantly liked him, knowing that their relationship as brother and sister would be great.

The ride home to La Push was not as quiet or awkward as she had expected on the flight to Port Angeles, it was very much the opposite. Nick was very warm, friendly, andcomfortable to be around. He spoke with much thought andconsideration. Physically he was attractive; he had shoulder midnight black length hair-Inches longer than Celina's chin length dark locks- Dark brown almond shaped eyes, Russet-colored skin, teeth as white as white could be. He was also tall, very tall, even for a normal human. Nick was nineteen years old, the oldest son. He had a younger brother who was a few months older than she was, Tyler, who had turned sixteen a three months ago. Celina took note of everything he said about his family in case the information could come into great use for her later. Like how their favorite tradition as brothers is going to Port Angeles and have a movie fest the last Saturday of the month, or that her foster parents anniversary would be coming up in a month.

As soon as they got to the light blue colored two story home Celina turned down the volume on the radio. The lyrics of the song still sounded loud to her as she did this. Minutes before, she and Nick had been trying to rap to the lyrics of 'Dead and Gone' by T.I.. According to Nick he was the only one in the family who listened to Hip-Hop and R&B. Tyler listened to Rock and Metal while Sarah and Kevin listened to their oldies. It seemed that the whole family had their own opinions on everything and they could co-exist! This surprised Celina since she had grown up in a home where her opinions were always shot down by her parents where they always had to be right.

"Nick you're finally home!" A woman with waist length ink black hair and milk chocolate brown eyes came rushing out of the house and hugged her son.

Celina smiled at the height difference between mother and son. Nick was a whole foot taller than her. She had to get on her tip-toes to even give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Celina! We've been waiting for you for a while, I'm Sarah by the way" Sarah quickly made her way over to her and wrapped her arms around her new daughter "Are you hungry? Would you like to eat now or would you like to set your things up in your room and eat later?"

"Um, if you don't mind I would like to set my stuff up in the room. So it won't be a hassle later, you know?" Celina smiled politely at her 2nd mother.

"Sure, No problem at all! My husband and Tyler should be coming back any minute now from the store. They went to go pick up some soda and dessert. Oh and Nick and Tyler invited some of their friends over to meet you I really hope you don't mind. We just thought that maybe you would like to meet some people your age so you can recognize some faces tomorrow when you start school" Sarah looked very nervous.

"It's fine, completely fine" She smiled at her "I honestly don't mind"

Sarah sighed in relief and smiled at Celina before looking at Nick "Nick can you please help your new sister take her stuff into her room please?"

Nick grinned at Celina, he looked like he was going to bubble with laughter any second "Sure mom, we wouldn't want Celina to break her arms, she's gonna need them to eat" He winked at her.

Celina couldn't help, but smile at this comment. Sarah smiled approvingly and walked back into the house.

"Your mom seems really nice, I like her" Celina said to Nick as she grabbed her tote bag and suitcase out of the trunk while Nick had two more suitcases on his shoulder.

"She's your mom now too" Nick reminded her.

She nodded at this, closing the trunk.

"Mom's nice, but she has those moments where she goes ultra-sonic and she's a pain in the ass. Like all moms y'know?" Nick chuckled, walking into the house and up the stairs with Celina trailing behind him.

"Yeah" Celina said, her nose distracted by the smell coming from the kitchen "Is that Lasagna?"

"Yep, Mom made it specially for you, she read your information and noted that you like Italian food, Lasagna amongst them" He said, setting the bags down on the queen sized bed.

"She actually took time to read that?" She was surprised.

"Yep. Mom always wanted a daughter, but she wasn't able to have anymore after Tyler. When she found out that she was eligible for foster care she was happy and once you were instated to her she was ecstatic. It made all of smile to see her happy" Nick explained.

"You all care about her" Celina stated.

"Of course, My father loves her more than air. Tyler and I are her sons and she's always been there for us when we needed her" He said "I'll leave you to unpack your stuff"

Celina nodded and proceeded to unpack as he walked out and closed the door behind him.

She looked around the small room. The walls were painted a deep magenta colour with a black strip painted horizontally along the middle of the wall. There was a desk pushed up against the northern wall with a purple laptop and printer on top of it. A fresh supply of pencils, pens, binders and notebooks were placed neatly next to them. A small desk light was there too. The bed had brand new sheets, pillows and a comforter on it all having purple, turquoise, green and pink stripes on them. A white board andbulletin board were hung next to the door. On her nightstand was a night lamp and a vase with pink roses flowing out of it. Celina smiled at the work this must have taken her new family and was grateful to them, how many hours did they put in to make this beautiful room for her?


Once Celina was finished unpacking and setting everything of hers in place, Nick came up stairs and told her to come and meet the other half of her family. She followed him downstairs and saw that her new father, Kevin, was an older version of Nick. Except that Kevin's hair was cut shorter and his height was shorter as well. Tyler looked more like his mother, not as tall as Nick, but was taller than his father and mother. His hair was longer than Nick's as well and was held in a ponytail by a thin hair tie. His personality was very much like Nick's, but much more excited about everything and louder. Kevin was a quiet man, but he spoke with much authority and compassion. The aura that the exuberated made Celina smile and comfortable in her new environment. When it was time for dinner it was all eyes on her as the family took turns on asking her about herself. After dinner was over she helped Sarah with cleaning up the table and drying the dishes, even though Sarah insisted that she would do the work on her own.

"Hey Sis" Tyler popped his head into the kitchen his russet colored face was spread into a smile "You wanna meet our friends?"

Celina looked at him as if he had just spoken Russian or German when he called her 'Sis', "Sure"

"Cool, c'mon!" He ran at her and threw her over his shoulder and ran out the door, leaving Sarah in shock at what her son had just done.

Celina was shocked at how well he'd gotten attached to her. It usually took her a while to even strike up a conversation with someone let alone allow herself to be carried by some person she just met. When they got to the front porch he sat her down on the porch swing and smiled widely at her.

"You don't weigh a thing Cel!" He laughed.

"So I've been told" She blushed at this.

"How much did you say you weighed?" Nick asked, an evil smirk on his face.

"106 lbs." She muttered under her breath.

"Excuse me?" One of his friends asked, obviously entertained.

"106 LBS.!" She announced louder.

"You're so light!" Another one smiled down at her.

"Thanks guys" She said "Thanks for making the new girl feel so special"

"No Prob" The third one said.

The first boy held his hand out to her "I'm Quil Ateara at your service!"

She shook his hand and smiled "Nice to meet you Quil"

The next boy smiled shyly at her "Embry Call"

"Hi Embry, nice to meet you as well" She smiled back at him, thinking that his shyness was adorable.

"And last, but certainly not least..." The third boy grinned "I'm Jacob Black"

Celina cracked up "Hey Jacob. Great to meet you!"

"And as you guys should know I'm Celina Gray-Rose"

"Where are you from? Nick told us that you were from California" Jacob asked her, curiosity in his eyes.

"I'm from San Fransisco"

"Golden Gate bridge, San Fransisco?"

"Of course" She rolled her eyes playfully at him.

He grinned widely "Just checking"

"So Tyler says that you're going to be in our grade?" Embry asked her.

"Yep, but I'm kinda wondering if the stuff they're teaching you guys is behind the material they taught us" Celina tapped on her temple "What math class are you guys in?"

"Geometry" Quil answered.

"Seriously?" Celina asked, surprised at how behind Washington was behind California in Mathematics "Most of my class was already in Algebra II and Pre-calculus"

"Hey don't show off!" Tyler scolded her with a smile on his face.

"I'm just saying" She giggled.

"Do you think you're gonna like La Push?" Quil asked, his face hopeful.

"Well so far the people I've met have been really nice, so if La Push is this way then I love it so far!" She grinned up at all of them.

"Hey there are no nicer people than the La Push boys" Jacob winked at her and sat down on the swing with her.
