Quil and Cheyenne

chapter 1

Friends for Ever?

CPOV

"Come on come on.
Come on come on.

All those Saturdays,
When kids go out and play,
I was up in my room I let the stereo blaze,
Wasn't faded, not jaded,
Just a kid with a pad and pen and a big imagination.
All this, I seek, I find
I push the envelope to the line,
Make it, break it, take it,
Until I'm overrated.

click click boom."

The music blared in the locker room. I sat, on the bench. Lookin straight ahead, determination oozing from every inch of me. No one dared look at me, not only for me being the only girl in a guys locker room, but because I was totally zoned. This game is going to be great.

Home team, La Push High.

The loud speaker announced. I got up slowly, dramatic affect. I sauntered over to the bench. Coach always put me in last quarter. I think its funny to prove the other teams players wrong when they assume im just a girl, who has no talent. I could hear them, idiot. A girl? seriously? who are they kidding. This should be interesting.

~**~

4th quarter, finally. up by one basket. Coach called me in. Me and Quil had our traditional fist bump as I walked onto the court.

Cole passed me the ball. An opposing team member was automatically on me. He was the one man team. Suddenly taken off gaurd I was elbowed in the jaw and sent backwards on my butt. While he went for a basket. I growled as I got up, walking towards the guy who had just dumped me on my ass. He was going to pay.

However Quil got there first, and that guy didnt know what hit him. One blow to the cheek from Quil was all it took to to put him on the ground. If i wasnt so pissed that would have been hilarious. Before the reff could call a foul Quil waved him off and walked off the court. Not before sending me an amused look. he walked to me. "Prove it with the ball, not your fist." He whispered before walking to the bench. "Yeah that's what I got you for." I yelled to him. He smiled and started laughing. The reff gave me the ball and nodded to the hoop.

As soon as I crossed the line, the same guy was on me. Ever so subtly I snaked my foot behind his, twisted away from him, causing him to fall and me to cross the court successfully to the basket. I smirked at him, and walked over to the place where he was nicely placed on the floor. I crouched next to him. "Didn't your mom ever teach you to respect girls." He looked confused at first then he blazed angry. The final buzzer rang signalling the end of the game. We had won of course. I started to walk away, when he grabbed my ankle. In one step I had his wrist under my free foot. After twisting my foot slightly causing him to wince in pain, he let go. But i wasnt so fast as to move my foot. Actually Quil was the one to pull me off.

"Aw, come on. I was having fun." I whined playfully to Quil. He laughed at me. "He doesnt deserve your wrath, we got better things to do."

La Push won, 37-35. Congrats to Cheyenne Rupin for making the winning goal. Good night every one, drive safe.

"You comin over for dinner tonight, since your just so amazing?" quil shoved me playfully. "Maybe...we I guess since I dont have anyting better to do, What you havin?" My stomach growled at the idea. "Well your stomachs tellin me your going to eat anything I have, so we can settle for a pizza."

We walked out towards his car. "You could always let me drive...." I trailed off suggestively. " nuh-uh. No way. You almost crashed it last time." He laughed but I could tell he was serious. "Like a you would be able to tell." I mumbled to myself. "Hey! I heard that, and it dont look that bad, your just jealous you dont even have a car." he pushed the back of my head and went to the drivers side. I threw my duffle in the back and climbed in.

"You really have horrible taste in music. seriously Quil?" I flipped through the pre-sets on his radio. "My mom was in here, she always changes things. You cant blame me." He shook his head looking at the road. I changed the station. Ladies and Gentlemen by saliva. "Much better."

"Oh, yeah, why the hell did you deck that guy, I mean thanks and all but that was supposed to my hit." He grinned but mocked hurt. "Then you wouldnt have been able to finish the game, and I wouldnt have had any fun." I chuckled and looked out the window. "Could you drive any slower? I mean com on I......" he cut me off. " I know you drive faster than this, but I like to abide by the law, not every one wants a record." I knew he was joking but I was still annoyed. I let out a dramatic sigh and sluped in my seat.

We were soon in his drive way. I pretended I couldnt move and he literally shoved me out onto the ground. I laughed an got up, dusting off my shorts. I walked in to the smell of pizza and the sound of his mom humming in the kitchen. "Good evening miss Ateara." I greeted as I spun one of the wooden dining chairs around backwards stradling it, folding my arms on the back of hit, resting my chin there. "I swear you get taller every time I see you, and lord I swear you should have been a boy. I mean look at you, Baggy shorts, T-shirt with the sleeves cut off..... wait is that Quils shirt?" I laughed. " Yeah, Borrowed it last week. I suppose I should give it back, hold on." I went out side to the car, and get an extra shirt out of my bag. I pulled off my shirt while walking back to the house and replaced it with my new one.

"Here." I threw the shirt to Quil. "Thanks for lettin me borrow it." Returning to the kitchen I grabbed a slice of pizza and settled back in my chair. Mrs. Ateara left saying she ws tired and wanted to go to bed.

"How mad you think that kid was when he got knocked down by a girl?" Quil asked. "Thanks Quil." I threw the closest thing to me at him, lucky him it was a towel. "You know what I meant, hey did you do that math homework from today? Cause I havent got the the slightest clue how that crap works." I laughed. "Me and homework dont mix, Ill do it in the morining. We go to school for 7 hours a day, why do they try and take away what little time we have at home?" He laughed at me. "While we arsking questions, what about this, How is a bar of soap clean if your constantly rubbing dirt on it? And do blind people have dreams, or is it just talking?" He started at me. "How the hell am I supposed to know? Go ask the teacher." I can imagine that, haha.

"You wanna watch a movie?" I asked, walking to the living room. "Sure." I picked a random movie off the shelf and threw the case to him. I sat on the couch literally upside down, with my feet hanging over the back. "A horror movie? sure you wont have nightmares?" Quil joked. "Oh yeah, so scared quil. You might have to hold me tonight." we both laughed at the idea. I dont hug, cuddle, anything like that really. Im not really feminin. The idea of skirts is repulsing. I always wear socks, sneakers are a must. Girly crap dont mix with me.

I ended up laughing through most of the movie, it was not realistic at all. "Guy didnt even see it coming, idiot." Quil yawned. I got up and pulled him off the couch. " I'll crash onyour floor, I dont feel like walkin home and your mom is crazy in the mornings." He laughed and we went up stairs to his room. I got a blanket from his closet and stole a pillow from his bed and flopped down on the floor right under the window. "Night quil, and I fyour not up on time tomorrow, I get to drive." I laughed. "Like hell you will." he laughed quietly though. "Night Sura" (Sura is short for sureshot, a nickname aquired one year at basketball camp)

"Ouch, what the.." I pulled the pillow off my face. Quil stood on the other side of the room, pretending nothing happened. I threw it back, successfully hitting him in the head. I stole a hooded sweat jacket from his closet and put it on, wearing my tank top underneath. I also stole a pair of his shorts. "Hurry up, I might have to hot wire your car." I yelled to him as I skipped down the stairs. I moved quietly to the edge of the small hall, looking for any signs of his mother.

"AGH!" I yelped. Quil tackled me to the floor. Pinning me under him. "You are such a jerk, you.." he cut me off, thats starting to get annoying. "I what? Scared you?" He was mocking me. "Stubborn jock" I muttered. I heard the door shut and looked up and behind me. "I never thought I'd see the day Sura would be underneath a guy." Jake laughed from the door. "Quil GET OFF!" He laughed and got off. "Isnt it nice to see you this morning jake." muttered walking past him, into the kitchen getting a granola bar from the cabinet.

"Come on, not that I care about being late but I have a test that I have to pass this morning. You got 2 minuts before I hot wire your car." I hollered from the door. Walking out and sitting on the hood of the car. Quil and Jake stumbled out the door. "Just in time, you about had to walk to school." I laughed and jumped in the back seat.

"Finally" I muttered. "You have s shorter patience than paul, geez." Jake told me, I do have a temper but not nearly as bad as paul, not by a long shot. "Nobody has a temper as bad as paul." he laughed.

~LUNCH~

"Great shot last night Sura, that guy needed to be knocked on his ass." Cole congratulated me. "Quils the one that decked him, not me." I nodded to Quil and went back to eating. "How can you eat that?" I looked at my food, I think it's supposed to be a chicken cassarole. "Im not sure what it is, but if I dont think about it its fine. I dont want to know whats in it though." I shrugged and continued eating. Embry however, the one questioning my appetite, had a disgusted look on his face. "Try it, its not that bad." He shook his head "I think I'll pass." I snorted. "somebodys a wuss." He came upon a disgruntled face."Here." I pushed it towards him, he backed away from it." Quil reached over and tried it. "Not that bad, actually. But i dont think its on the top of my list." I laughed. "See Emb, quil even tried it. Don't be chicken." He groaned. "Fine." He tried and then almost gagged. He shoved my tray back to me and started coughing. "Oh come on, your such a drama queen."

~AFTER SCHOOL~

"Rupin goes for the three pointer and OH, she scores." me and Quil bumped fists and I chuckled. "That was cheating, you try and get away with to much." Jake grumbled. "You and Emb just arent fast enough for me, me and Quil are to good, even if he doesnt have great aim." Quil knew I was joking but he pretended I shot him and fell to the ground. "Get up Ateara, we all know you get tired easy but you could atleast make it to the couch." He laughed and got up. I looked over at Embry, who looked almost pale, if thats even possible with out dark skin tones. "Hey Emb, you alright?" He started shaking his head like he was trying to clear it. "Maybe you should go see your mom, you dont look to great." He nodded and started walking towards his house.

"I wonder what up with him, geez." I walked over to jake and jumped on his back. " Holy skittles, jake your burnin up." He shrugged. "Feel fine." We walked back to jakes place. We jake and Quil walked, I was on Jakes back.

We were all sittin in jakes living room, when suddleny I got a major head ache. "I think I'm gonna go home guys." I stood from the couch. "whats wrong cheyenne?" Billy asked. "I just feel hot and I got a major head ache." I started towards the door. "later guys" I shut the door softly behind me. I walked down the road towards my house.
