Autors note- I really hope you enjoy the story. The Cullens will defiantly make an appearance! But it takes a few chapters or so to really get the story going. =). I really enjoy Reviews!

"Christine, be careful," I looked into her eyes and could tell she meant it.

"Mom, I am going shopping with Cass," I took a deep breath, "What could go wrong?" I saw my mother's face and I could tell that she was very worried about me, but I did not know why.

"Chris, there have been a lot of missing persons reports and I don't want you to be one of them." My mother said as she came over to me and gave me a hug.

"You don't have to worry, Mom, I can karate chop their ass!" I said with a reassuring smile. She kissed the top of my forehead and smiled, "As long as you promise." I shook my head 'yes' and proceeded out the door. I took my cell phone from my pocket and dialed my best friend Cass.

"Cass, get your best shopping shoes on because I plan to do major damage!" I said as I laughed a little. My mother's concern was still sitting in the back of my head. What was she so concerned over anyway? Only a few woman had gone missing in Washington and it was nowhere near here.

"CHRIS, are you listening?!" I heard a scream on the other line. "Oh sorry!" I laughed, " I was miles away. I will be there in a few!" I hung up the phone without a 'Good Bye' and headed to my Grand Am. I unlocked the door and hopped in the drivers' side, popped the key in, and took off down the road.

"Finally, I have been freezing my fanny off." I smiled as I saw my blonde, curly haired best friend get in on the passenger's side. "You know it would help if you wore clothes, Cass." I looked at her face as she stuck her tongue out at me. "Shut up, Chris, just because I am not a prude." I rolled my eyes and headed down the street to the nearest shopping mall which was forty-five minutes away in Port Angeles.

"So did your mom get all motherly on you?" I turned to see Cass putting her lip gloss on in the mirror. "Isn't that what mothers are for?" I asked playfully, "My mom actually looked concerned, It was kind of scary." "So did my mom, she told me if I did not come home before the stars were out she was calling the cops!" Cass' mouth dropped open stunned like, " I mean come on she is such an over reactor!" I nodded my head in agreement.

Cass' mother really was an over reactor, I can remember when we were about thirteen she called the cops because Cass was 5 minutes late to dinner. Let's just say that Cass was not allowed to come out and play for a very long time! Cassandra Evens and I had been best friends for as long as I can remember. Even though we are completely different, I love books, she loves movies. I like long walks on the beach, she loves one night stands, but it all works for us!

"I need a boy, Chris." I shook out of my deep thinking and saw a smile over her face. "Let's find me a boy today." She continued.

"We can defiantly do that, Cass." I said as I rolled my eyes. It wasn't like she wasn't already planning this, guessing by the way she had dressed. A short jean skirt with a little tank top on, sheesh it was only thirty degrees outside! I smiled at Cass and drove on.

We arrived at the mall in record time. We both piled out of the car and headed in the doors. "Where to first?!" Cass asked peering around at everyone, probably looking for a boy.

"You see over there?" Cass whispered to me as she pointed to somewhere in the distance. I was completely stunned. Cass had pointed out a tall, black haired, Olive colored man. He was a total babe! "We NEED to talk to him!" But obviously had no say in the matter because before I knew it I was being dragged in his direction. "Hi, I am Cass and this is my best friend Christine." I watched as Cass introduced us to the men.

"Well hello." He said in a low voice as he checked me and only me out. "This is my friend Eric and I am Ryan." He smiled at me and I smiled back. A man smiling at me? I was just a geek hanging out with a hottie. I had never really considered myself good looking. I wore small black glasses and I had long black hair, which matched my hazel eyes. Plus I was always a little shorter than everyone else 5'3", it's a great height, really.

"So what brings you boys to Port Angeles?"Cass asked as she twirled her curls in between her fingers.

"We were just looking for a new scene that is all." Ryan, the one Cass picked out stated.

"Fancy that!" Cass giggled, " So were we!" She stared over at me and elbowed me in the ribs. "Isn't that right, Chris?" I could tell she really needed me to be her "wing lady"

"Uh, right!" I said making it up, "We really came here to meet men like you!" I laughed at myself because it was so obvious that I was lying. I really just wanted to shop for new clothes, but obviously Cass just had sex on the brain.

"Here are our phone numbers, call me." I shuddered as Ryan smiled and winked at me.

"I think he likes you!" Cass gushed as she handed me the piece of paper.

"Unfortunately, I think you were right." I took the piece of paper from Cass.

"You didn't think they were sexy?" Cass asked me pulling me into the nearest bathroom.

"I just have an odd feeling about then, I think they have ulterior motives." I said as I checked out my self in the long mirror on the wall as I heard Cass going to the bathroom.

"You always have odd feelings about guys I want!" She wined as the toilet flushed. "Can we just give them a chance, please?" She actually got to her knees and begged.

"If you get up, then yes!" I said as a fake smile wrapped around my face. I think I am going to regret this.

Cass and I spent a few hours at the mall and then we headed to the Grand Am.

"Do you think I should call them?" I turned to see Cass as she was digging through my purse.

"I am guessing that you have already decided that one!" I said as I turned the car on to get warm.

"Come on let's be adventurous, I want a boy and I want him now!" she stomped her foot on the carpet of my car. "Fine, but you have to call and talk to them." "And you think that is a problem?" She asked as she found the number and started dialing it.

"Hi this is.." but I could tell she was cut off and I slowly leaned my ear into the phone, "If you want to party we can meet up." Cass shrieked, "Of course WE love to party." Notice how she makes all the decisions? I just shook my head, "Cass, I HATE to party, " I had to mouth to her. "You will love it and you will love it now!" She mouthed back. "Fine" I crossed my arms. It was a pointless argument, If I did not go she would complain that I was abandoning her with strangers and how could I have that on my mind, now could I?

"They want us to meet them at the Denny's up the street." She pointed to the north and I shrugged and headed that way.

"So are they taking us out to Denny's or...?" But I was now cut off, "No, No, they want to drive us to a party like I quote "the gentlemen they are." She giggled. "Oh Chris, thanks so much, you really are my best friend!" she flung her arms around my neck. "Cass, really I am driving, and I love you too!" She gave me a smile and kissed my cheek. "You're the best." She said as she went back into her seat. I made the five minute drive to Denny's and pulled in to see them in a shiny Trans Am. My favorite car.

"OHHH there they are!!!" Cass said as she opened the mirror on her side. "Do I look ok?" She looked at me. "Beautiful," I said with a reassuring smile. Cass and I stepped out of the car and Cass grabbed my arm and forced us to run to them. I still had an odd feeling about these boys, but whatever Cass wanted, Cass got.

"Hi!" Cass giggled more and waved to the Eric fellow. He was much different looking from the Ryan guy, but still as beautiful. Eric has short spikey, blonde hair and he stood about 6'0.

"Hello ladies, you are smelling very nice this evening." The creep Ryan said. That is funny I did not remember putting any purfume on.
