Two days after I turned 18 I realised that things were going to change or had they all ready. My best friend was deeply soo in love with her boyfriend, and I think along the way she about me. This in between him drving her places and going to parties with him, Not that I'm jealous. I wasn't annoyed at her being in a relationship I was glad she was happy but the fact after 6 years of friendship, that that person you considered to be always there for you wasn't anymore.

The mid-term was not anything special, I hung out with Terri and Michael by just going to the movies and shopping. Another thing that was clear was how weird my dad was being with me lately, he had just stopped talking to me about the simple things in life and now consisted of him just telling me off a lot. One thing he was defiantly pissed off about was my mid-term report which was okay but Cs in my father's eyes may have been just a fail. An off course the main problem on the report was my maths, the one subject in the world I couldn't process and yet I passed Tribal studies with flying colours and I wasn't even a Native.

I had first period History which wasn't so bad, Mr Storm was a good teacher an for the last two years being in his class was great and did I mention how nice his Butt was or so I've been told. Everybody was in I sat next Jamie she was cool in that I know everbody way which to some people might have been a pain but not me I enjoyed being around her.

One more thing I have to help you understand where this story is going is first to mention where I lived an was from. I have lived my entire life on a Reservation in La Push Washington, I guess me not being native was shocking considering how careful the Res was in letting outsiders apart of our close nit community but they weren't. I stand at 5ft 5 with average Brown hair and hazel eyes and I am also very pale looking compared to the tan Natives living here in La Push. My dad was adopted into the Res when he was six when his parents where killed in a car accident, he lived with my grandma Sandra Sandra who was great friends with my dad parents before he came to live here .My dad's name is Robert and although he grew up on the Reservation he left when he was ready for college and went onto college meet my mom and became a teacher. Considering all that the Reservation had done for him he moved back when teaching postition was open and he and my Mom went onto have me Caleb and me .Even though I maybe white and have not native background I was born here and I consider being apart of Native American community sacred.

So I guess to understand who I am as a person is to understand what makes me who I am, other than where I came from and I guess that's were my Mom's death comes into it. My mom died five years ago with cancer, it hurt the whole family like it would in other families and being the only girl growing into my teens was hard enough with her being around. Though I guess life most go on even when you don't want it to, so it's just me, my Dad and my Brother Caleb. He lives in Washington with his long time girlfriend Cherry aka Martha and his my father's pride and joy he's studying medicine and was the only person who understood me when my Mom died.

The bell rings through the small Reservation school I attend and with that I head to my next class which ended before it began and now lunch time. I see Lisa and the rest of the gang, oh and not to mention how I notice sky and Tom our basically eating the face of eachother.

Sky pulls away and I'm guessing for air, she's alot smaller than me with short black hair and tiny native features. This my bestfriend the one I've been telling you about she doesn't say much just a quick smile and a hey and then back to making out with her very tall lacrosse boyfriend. Chilli on the other hand pulls me over to tell me some gossip about Embry call the guys she's been in love since Middle school.

Chilli: Have you seen how big Embry is now? ( Her small blues eyes look at me with excitement).

Did I mention Chilli's my other crazy bestfriend a gauitar player plus skateboarder who's half native and Irish that's the reason for the blue eyes, her Mom funny and probably alot more fun than most mom's then again I wouldn't really know any other person who lets their daughter get their lips peirced Twice was either cool or mad. Chilli had snake bites now theres just the cool one side peircing which suits her alot.

Me: No why does he look different? ( I say with a smile)

Chilli nods

Chilli: Yep, he's huge...

Me: Well I guess we know you don't like small anymore

we both laugh along with Lisa who sat eating her green apple.

Me: How did he get bigger?... was he taking anything over mid-term

Chilli: I don't think so, he's been hanging out with Sam's gang alot lately I seen them cliff diving the other day

Me: Didn't he used to call them the Steriod crew ( I look at her questionly)

Chilli: ( Nods) I guess they're friends now.. Who would have thought

Me: Exactly...

Lisa: So what yous doing tonight?

Lisa looks at me and Chilli, she's slightly taller than Chilli with dark features except her blue eyes again from her mother who married into the tribe. Lisa was funny and I guess her quiet voice and relaxing

Me: Not sure got an Essay to do and probably be getting Algebra homework

Chilli: I havent got anything... For a change Mrs Heart wasn't into day

Me: I guess alot of things are changing...why? what you have in mind?

Lisa: Well there's a party down in first beach tonite and I guess you can say alot of great guys are going including Embry an all

Chilli: Really then I guess we have to go, I'll get my brother to get us some drink

Me: Ew I hate school then again I think Mr storm's essay can wait a day or two ( I look at Sky who's not really paying attention to the conversation) I game!

I stand up and nearlly trip over Lisa bag, this causes everyone to laugh.

Me: Haha I look at both Chilli and Lisa trying to hold in their giggles

clumsy as usual , Two hours later and I'm in my car going home and the rains getting pretty heavy. Then all of a sudden my Impala shuts down completely. Great just what I needed, first nearly falling and now the damn car won't start as I turn the key it refuses to start back up again and work so I can get home. I try again, and Guess what NOTHING happens right now pretty much pissed off and my cell phone isn't getting any signal and did I mention how heavy the rain is pouring outside.

I jumped out and pop open the hood, when I do this lots of smoke comes out the rain pours and thankfully seems to be killing it. I look at the engine and yes I am a girl who doesn't know nothing about cars other than some makes. After looking a couples of times trying to guess I hear a car coming up the road and I turn and see orange car up a head. My clothes at this point are drenched and my hair once stright is now pretty much crazy with curls, the usual weather here in LaPush to make my day better.

I can't see as the driver but as he or she steps out of the car I noticed that he or she is infact a guy a really really Tall guy probably 6ft7 or something. Not to mention that not only what he makes up in height his body looks huge and pretty buff at that. He walks closer to me and that's when I notice who it is, Jacob Black wearing a white t-shirt that now stuck to his body and those long arms of his swinging as he get closer to me.

Jacob: Hey, you look like you need some help? ( He looks down at me, with a smile)

I nod not really knowing what to say, his long hair is no longer there but cut short and is once boyish face no longer there he looks masculine and dangerous with his perfect features and height.

Jacob looks under the hood which feels like forever he bends down and I can see the muscles on his back move as he does this I feel like jello or some Creep staring down at him.

Jacob: I think your exhaust is blowin I think your best getting a lift from me and I'll go get Big Al to come an get your car for you ( He looks at me seriously)

Me: Yeah, that sounds good. You don't mind do you?

Jacob: No problem at all, plus I think you may need to be warmed up before you catch something ( He smiles and then pulls the hood down )

Me: I'll go grab my bag ( I open my door and grab my backpack quickly then I walk to his car which is tiny looking for someone so huge)

Jacob opens up the door for me showing me that he had manners before getting in himself.

Jacob: Are you cold?

I nod

Jacob then pulls a jumper from the back of his car.

Jacob: Here put this on, it mite warm you up ( he watches as I take of my soaking jacket for the large blue jumper he give me). That any better?

Me: Yep ( I make a small smile had him)

Jacob: So what's your name?

Me: River kent ( I say with a nod)

Jacob: I'm Jacob Black

Me: I know, your Billy's son...

Jacob: Yep.. and your Roberts daughter, I know your brother Caleb he used to date my sister Rachel in high school

Me: Yep that's them both ( I say with a laugh)

Jacob: Weren't you in my math class two years ago

Me: ( I nod) Yep, I was the worse in the class

Jacob: You weren't that bad

Me: I am I'm repeating again for the second time

Jacob: Well you'll probably do it this time have some faith

Me: I think I might need a tutor honestly , I suck big time ( I laugh to myself)

Jacob smiled his eyes continuing to look at the road.

Me: Thanks for doing this ( I look at him)

Jacob's head turns to me.

Jacob: Don't mention it, I don't mind helping others

Me: Well thanks anyway...( I smile at him)

Jacob: Your welcome.. so your house is to the left of Quil's house

Me: Yep that's right... how did you know that?

Jacob: My dad knows your dad ( he raises an eyebrow

Me: Oh right...( I look out the window I sounded like a idiot)

Jacob: So...

Me: So...

Jacob: You going to the party tonight at first beach

Me: Yea ... my friends are going

Jacob: Cool...I guess this is your stop

I look at the window and my house is right outside, It felt like a short time being in the car with him.

Jacob: I'll get AL to drop of your car tonight for you...I look at it make sure it working okay an all

Me: Thanks again Jacob...

Jacob: No problem

I step out of the car slowly trying to be careful not to slip .

Jacob:River...

Me: Yea ( I look behind me)

Jacob: Your definitley going tonight

Me: Yea ...why?

Jacob: That's Great, I'll see you there then ( His smiles make me melt)

Me: That would be cool

Jacob: Cool

I close the door and walk into my house my heart feels like it's about to rip out of my chest did Jacob black just say he wanted to see me tonight. Yeah he did.

I walk into my living room with a smile then up stairs to my room where I lie down on my bed thinking about him.
