Hi, Xo here. Just wanted to let you know I started a new twilight imprint story and I hope you'll enjoy it. Feel free to message me ideas or comments about my stories.
This is only the first chapter, other chapters will be longer.
And I felt stupid.
Even after I vowed to myself to not do this, here I was.
Crying over a guy who will never feel the same.
-Delilah Nantes
I Had never been friends with her. She was just my neighbour and I was the same to she was alone, and I knew how that felt. Therefore, I took pity on her.
My first mistake.
But how could you not as she looked at you with those big, teary eyes. I had always taken pity in the sad.
Another mistake of mine.
And I thought that maybe it would've ended good, our friendship. but how can I if she was a backstabbing little crybaby. Crybaby of the year, it seems.
I had picked up the fallen girl, Bella Swan. Her boyfriend and friends abruptly left town, leaving her behind. You couldn't say Bella was a smart girl, having pushed aside all her former friends for the Cullen family. She had felt like she had no one, and that was when I stepped in. I had taken care of her, while she had been in her mindless zombie state.
And that's why I was currently driving Bella to school. The Swan girl went to Forks High School, not a school for my choice.
Yes, I lived next to Bella but we didn't go to the same school. My father, being a Quileute, decided it was better for me to be in a school with my own people instead of a school with palefaces (his words, the lil racist).
I glanced at Bella, who was sitting in the passenger's seat, and saw her looking outside. Depressed and everything. I know I promised to help her but she was annoying me greatly with her pessimistic attitude. I know Edward and her were really close and everything, but to be this broken over a boy. The moment I saw her I had vowed to myself to never let a boy have this much control over me. It didn't look healthy.
"You'll pick me up, right? Around 3?" And those were the first words Bella had said to me this morning. I nodded as I parked the car, "as always." She nodded stiffly, gave me a small (fake) smile and stepped out. I stayed and watched her get in the main building before starting the car.
Time for school.
The road to the reservation was empty but that was pretty normal, there wasn't much traffic around these parts.
I smiled and waved as I slowly passed some houses, knowing some of these people for almost my entire life.
I froze a bit as I saw Emily Young walking by; the thoughts of her, Sam and Leah filled my mind. But I choose not to let it change my judgement about her, she was really nice and polite. So I waved and smiled at her too. It brought a smile on her face. The parking lot was crowded so I knew I wasn't late.
I stepped out, glaring at some people as they laughed how I nearly fell.
"Delilah!" I froze as my name was called.
A tall, native girl made her way through the people and flashed me a smile. "Hi, Kim." She gave me a short hug before pulling me along as she walked inside. I choose not to fight her and followed swiftly. Unlike the parking lot, the halls were nearly deserted.
"Where is everyone?" Kim ignored my question, much to my annoyance, and kept pulling me along.
"Kim?" She pushed me in the girls bathroom and checked that all stalls were empty before turning to me. Whatever it was, it had to be big for her to act this dramatic.
"I saw Jared last night." My interest spiked up at the news about Kim's crush. "And?"
"He changed, like a lot. His long hair, normal height and perfect body. Poof, short hair, boom, suddenly 6'5" and boom, sooooo muuuuch muscles." I laughed at her explanation. "And, OMG, we talked!"
"Aaaw, Kim. That's so great." We did a small jumping/making high pitched noises hug-thingy before turning normal. "We talked about class and about why the hell I was at the beach at one in the morning." I wasn't surprised to hear that she was at the beach last night, the waves calmed her. "And…?" I just knew there had to be more. But sadly I saw how Kim's smile fell. "And then he suddenly had to leave. I probably bored him out of his mind and he just had to get away from me." Bullshit.
"Oh shut up, we both know that that wasn't the reason." Kim just shrugged, causing me to sigh. Before either of us could say anything, the bell rang.
"Let's go, we have math now."
To say we were a bit surprised when we saw Jared standing by our table at math, was an understatement.
I didn't miss the strange flash of emotions in his eyes when we walked in. Well more when Kim walked in. Since we had walked in, Jared hadn't been able to keep his eyes off of her.
A big smile broke out on his face and I saw how a blush formed itself on Kim's face.
"Jared?" I was the first one to speak, breaking the strange silence. He turned to me, gave me a nod before turning back to look at Kim. I wondered if Kim had really told me everything about last night, because the way he looked at her. Damn, I wanted someone to look at me the same way. But then I remembered I have abandoning issues and would probably fuckin up someone's mind.
"Delilah."
I rolled my eyes at his answer and made my way around him to sit at my seat. Kim seemed to have finally snap out of her daze, "Anything you want Jared?" He just nodded and watched her as she made her way around the table to sit. Kim raised an eyebrow at his lack of answer, his silence was coming off a bit odd. "I wondered if you wanted to sit with me at lunch?" And now I was sure something had happened.
Little naughty, naughty Kimmy.
People started coming into the classroom, all watching Jared, who was busy looking at Kim, who was looking at her desk. She shook her head, Jared's face fell.
"I sit with Delilah and I don't want to leave her alone."
Wow Kim, really using me as an excuse.
But Jared seemed to recover quickly, "She can sit with us too."
Great.
