Chapter 1: ''Throwing Rocks"

Naema's POV

I am exhausted. Today was the unpack-your-stuff day. Yes, after spending my whole life, 19 years, in Holland, my mom and I moved to the United States of America. To a little town called Forks. She said she wanted to have a fresh start after coming out of a bad relationship and since I have no siblings and a nowhere to be found dad, I had to move with her. I instantly hate it here. The weather is no different then the weather back in Holland! Luckily we got this really pretty house, right next to the forest. My mom works at the bank as one of the chief executives, so money is no issue in our life.

"Naema! Come on, it's diner time! I made spaghetti!" My mom yelled at me.

I ran down the stairs towards the kitchen, sat down at the diner table and started digging in. I'm not quite used to the time difference; back home it would be like 03:00AM, so you can understand that having diner right now doesn't feel natural. My mom also wants us to speak English at home so we can learn to speak better English in stead of Dutch.

"So honey, are you excited about going to school in 3 weeks? I bet there will be a lot of cute guys there.." My mom had something on her mind, I could feel it.

I rolled my eyes. "Mom, you know I'm NOT into American guys! I liked the Dutch guys better.."

"How do you know?" She asked, "You haven't even met any American guys! You know what, I'll make sure you will meet some people!"

"Ok.. And how are you planning to do that?" This can't be good. I feel like a toddler who is afraid to ask the other kids at the playground if she can join them.

"Well, I signed up at this women's bookclub, we have one meeting every week, I'm sure that these women have children of your age too! Isn't it a great idea?" She was so thrilled, I felt bad not being so enthusiastic about this.

"Err, yeah, I guess so." Big sigh and a fake smile.

"I knew you would like it, our first clubmeeting is tomorrow evening ; I'm going to invite them over to our place!" My mom figured it all out, I knew she had the best intentions.

After dinner I went straight upstairs to get some sleep.

The next morning I woke up at 11:30, feeling really good actually. The sun was shining a little bit and my mood turned out to be positive! After hitting the shower, I took the time to decide about what to wear today. I chose my black Minnetonka's, a really skinny jeans and a tight v-neck black shirt. I don't wear too much make-up because I have a natural tan; my mom is Dutch but my dad is Indonesian. Thanks to him I've got long straight black hair and full, pouty lips. My mom and I don't look a like. She's got blond short hair and really blue eyes. The only thing we have in common is our lenght (5,6'') and the fact that we rarely gain weight. Which is not a negative thing.

After putting on my favorite charmbracelet, I went downstairs. Nobody was home but I found a note sticked to the refrigerator: "Good morning honey, hope you had a good night sleep! I'm out doing some grocery shopping, I'll be back at 3. xox mom"

Great, now I finally have some ME-time. I made myself a sandwich and hopped into my car. My mom bought me a Silver colored Volkswagen New Beetle. She thought it would suit me, she's so sweet.

While I was driving I saw this sign saying: "La Push Beach, 15 miles" Hmm Beach.. Before I knew it I was on my way to so called "La Push". When I arrived I actually was overwhelmed by nature's beauty, this place was so perfect! I parked my car and walked down to the beach, the fresh air really cleared my mind. For a split second I thought about my life back in Holland but I quickly pushed that thought away. I found a few huge rocks near the water and sat down on one of them. This moment was perfect..

Until someone rudely interrupted me by almost hitting me with a rock. "WHAT THE F*%#!" I screamed.

Embry's POV
I ran over to this girl as fast as I could, I didn't mean to throw it at her but the wind at the beach is so strong, it changed the direction in which the rock was going!

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to throw it at you I swear! Are you ok?" I asked nicely.

"What do you think? You almost hit me in the head with that thing!" She was really mad. It looked like she was showing her teeth, furious!

"I'm really sorry, let me buy you a cup of coffee at the diner down at the beach." I hoped she would calm down a bit.

"Hmm ok, but shouldn't you tell me your name or something?" Good point.

"My name is Embry Call, I live here in La Push. What's your name?"

"I'm Naema van der Laan." That's all she told me.

"Well let's go and get us some coffee then." I said to her.

We walked towards the diner and I immediately saw my friends sitting there too. Sam, Quil, Paul and Jacob. All 4 of them. We entered the diner and they started waving and yelling at Naema and me.

"Err, those guys are my friends, do you want to sit with them?" I asked.

"Sure, they seem nice." She was still a little dumbfounded about the whole rock-incident. I wonder what her origin is, she looks like a Quileute girl.

While we were walking over to their table I saw them checking her out, except for Sam ofcourse, he is happily engaged to Emily. Jacob however seemed to be quite interested in this girl.

"Guys, this is Naema van der Laan. Naema, these are the guys: Sam, Quil, Paul and Jacob."

They all said Hi and we took a seat. The waitress brought us all a nice hot cup of coffee.

"So," Paul asked her. "Where do you know Embry from?"

NPOV

I told them the whole rock-throwing story and they all made fun off Embry and his clumsiness. Except for this Jacob guy; he was staring at me with this strange grin on his face. It made me blush.

The La Push guys are all about 6,7'' pretty muscular, have long hair and are tanned. And of course, they are really hot.

"So, tell me something about yourselves guys, I really want to know who I'm drinking coffee with." I asked.

"I am Sam Uley. I live in La Push, we all live in La Push actually, and I'm engaged to a wonderful girl named Emily." He smiled when he told me about his fiancé. "That's Paul, next to him is Jacob Black and the weird looking guy falling in love with you is Quil Ateara."

And with that announcement Quil kicked Sam in his shins. "What are you talking about Sam? I'm just staring at her because I was trying to figure out if she was Quileute too!" He sounded curious.

"I'm not sure what a Quileute is but I'm Dutch and Indonesian." I said.

"We're all Quileute, it's an Indian tribe. But what brings you to lovely La Push?" Jacob asked with quite a smile.

I explained to them where I came from and why we moved to America. I had some difficulties finding some words in English but Sam helped me out. They were all really curious about Holland, especially about the red light district and the coffee shops in Amsterdam. I told them it was not that big of deal, this seemed to disappoint them.

"Ah man!" Paul shouted. "I always wanted to go there and get really high all day long!" He acted like his life long dream had just been shattered.

"Stop acting like such an ass." Embry said, laughing.

I stood up from my chair and saw Jacob's eyes widened a bit.

"Hey guys, I had a really great time with you today, but I have to get back to Forks. Maybe I'll see you around again. Embry, thanks for the coffee!" I said.

"Too bad you're leaving already but you're right, you should get home before it's dark." Jacob said.

I walked out of the diner towards the parking lot when I heard my name.

"Naema!" Someone yelled at me.

I turned around to see who was calling me and I saw Jacob running towards me.

"Hey, you shouldn't be walking to your car all alone!" He was worried about me?

"Ok, thanks for being so concerned. I guess you can walk me to my car." I had a weird feeling in my stomach.

Jacob's POV

She smiled a little, this made me feel strange.

"So, do you like living in Forks?" I asked.

"No." She said, letting out a big sigh. "I wish we could have stayed in Holland."

"Why?" Ok, let's just ask her. "Do you have a boyfriend back there?"

She looked me straight in the eye and answered my question.
"Nope.."

I think she saw the relief on my face, so I tried to act all casual about this.

"Oh ok, so, you are free to date." I just failed at acting casual.

"Yeah I guess I am." She blushed again. "Oh there's my car!"

She pointed at a silver colored New Beetle.

´´Nice ride.. For a girl.´´ I chuckled.

´´Oh wel mister smartass, what kind of car do you own?'' She looked a little offended.

''I own a 1986 Volkswagen Rabbit.'' I said it with pride.

''I'm sorry, I don't know what kind of car that is..'' She said to me.

''Next time I'll show you my car ok?'' I said, hoping that there will be a next time.

''Deal. Well err, see ya.'' Oh no, she was saying goodbye! I didn't want this conversation to end.

''Hey Naema wait,, can I get your number? I mean, maybe if you have nothing to do tomorrow, I can show you around Forks and La Push?'' Please say yes, please say yes.

''Yes, of course. It's 555-649200. What's yours?'' I could do a little victory dance right now, but I guess I shouldn't do that if I wanted to see her again.

''My number is 555-522619.'' She saved my number on her Iphone.

''You should get going, it's going to be dark soon.'' I told her.

''Oh yeah... So.. Will you call me tonight?'' She was afraid to ask, I could tell because she was biting her lip. It gave me this weird feeling again.

''Of course, talk to you tonight''. I said.

''Ok, bye!'' She got into her Beetle and I watched her pulling out of the parking lot, heading back to Forks.

NPOV

I could still see Jacob in my rearview mirror, why is he smiling? Oh Gosh, I can't like someone so soon! He has the most beautiful smile! STOP IT Naema. You're only making a fool out of yourself.

When I got home I already saw my moms Range Rover in the driveway. Of course, she's home, it's 04:00PM. As I opened the door I heard strange voices coming out of the kitchen.

''Mom? Hello? Are you there?'' Oh no, let's hope they aren't ...

''Hey honey! Where have you been? I want you to meet some people!'' She pulled me into the kitchen, and what I was afraid of, actually happened; there were 3 middle aged women sitting at our diner table, having some tea with my mom.

''I told you about my bookclub! This is Anne Call, Lucy Newton and Linda Ateara. They are staying for diner and we'll have our weekly meeting at our place tonight! Isn't it great?'' Oh boy, she is really putting a lot of effort in finding me some new friends.

''Anne and Linda are from La Push, they have children your age! And Lucy's son Mike is going to be your classmate! Isn't it wonderful?'' She was way to excited, so I sighed.

''Mom, I already met mrs. Call and mrs. Ateara's children today. I drove to La Push Beach and mrs. Call's son Embry almost hit me in the head with a rock. It wasn't as bad as it sounds though, he apologized and bought me a cup of coffee. That's when I met his friends; Sam, Paul, Quil and Jacob. We talked all afternoon!'' I smiled at the thought of Jacob.

''Hit you in the head? What did he do that for? He is so clumsy!'' Embry's mother was having a fit. I calmed her down by telling her the whole story and that he paid for my coffee as an apology.

We drank tea together and talked about Quil, Embry and their friends. I only paid real attention when it came to Jacob. I found out he was an only child just like me, and that he lives with his dad. His mom passed away in a car crash 5 years ago. I felt bad about this and had a sudden urge of giving him a big hug.

After diner the ladies started their bookclub-thing so I went upstairs to listen to some music.

While listening to Drake and singing out loud, I didn't hear that my phone was ringing. When the song finished I saw something on the display of my phone: Missed call: Jacob (3).

He called me 3 times! Oh gosh, now what.. Should I call him back? And at that thought I received a text message.

''Cutie, I tried to call you but you didn't answer your phone. Wanna hang out tomorrow? I could pick you up in my sweet ride at 10:00AM? Let me know, x Jacob''

OH MY GOD! I jumped up and down, trying not to do a victory lap around the house. He calls me cutie! That is sooo CUTE! I should text him back..

''Hey Jacob, I'm sorry, didn't hear my phone.. 10:00AM is fine. See ya tomorrow, my address is 775 K Street in Forks. x''
