I hate school. Plain and simple. I looked at the clock and I still had ten minutes left. Ten long fucking minutes in calculus. Ugh! Fuck my life!
"Eryn...our final game!" Shelbi whispered excitedly about our last soccer game. She turned to Rian and started giggling and Rian just rolled her eyes and shook her head. I turned back to the teacher and saw a kid staring at me and rolled my eyes. I still wasn't use to it. You see, when I was younger, I was the ugly duckling. I had the braces and huge glasses and weighed 250 pounds from seventh grade til the summer before my junior year. Right before my junior year I went from ugly duckling to a 'hot model babe' as most of the guys called me. I was light skinned with brown hair that went to the middle of my back. I had light brown eyes and was labeled a 'red bone' here at Forks High School. I was curvy and filled out right after I started loosing weight. I didn't have the braces anymore, but I had better looking glasses. I wore a yellow tank top and a green fitted t shirt on top with a yellow bubble skirt and green flip flops. My hair was curled and I had lip gloss on.
"Are your parents coming?" Shelbi asked me.
"I don't know." I whispered back and thought about my parents. My mom was white and was a top researcher for the government and my dad was black and a chef. He owned three restaurants and was always flying around the country to cook for people or to appear on some show. He was barely home and mom was always at work. I missed home. Why we moved her from Atlanta was beyond me. The bell rang and I was out before the rest of the class. I went to my locker and put my books away before grabbing my duffle bag and heading to the girls locker room. I got inside and changed into my uniform. I pulled my shorts down a little, but at 5'11 they're still too short. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and took my necklace off and put on my equipment and shoes.
"So how are things with you and Julian?" Rian asked me as we walked out to the field together.
"We broke up." I whispered as we sat on the ground and stretched.
"Oh. Sorry."
"It's cool. He was an ass any way. The little dick wanted me to have sex with him, but he doesn't understand I'm waiting til marriage." I said back with a smile. "Besides, his dick was small." Rian burst out laughing and the girls around us eyed her warily before going back to what they were doing. Me and Rian had grown to be best friends over the year and even though many people think she's an evil bitch, she's pretty cool.
"Ri!" I heard Rian's boyfriend, Seth, yell from the sidelines. We've both looked at him and saw him wave excitedly while the guy next to him just stared at me like a piece of meat. What the hell? Seth looked at the guy and got a shocked look on his face before smiling and laughing at him. The guy punched Seth in the arm before turning back to me.
"What's up with his friend? He keeps staring at me like a piece of meat. If he doesn't stop Clark is gunna kill him." I huffed out and narrowed my eyes at him and got up as the game started. Throughout the game he kept staring at me and when it was over him and Seth walked over to us on the field.
"Congrats babe!" Seth yelled as he swooped Rian up. She turned red and hit him on the shoulder as he laughed and put her down. "You to E!"
"Thanks Seth." I said with a smile and then looked over at his friend who was still staring at me. "Umm, can I help you?"
"Oh! Um, hey, good game. Your flexible." He blurted out and laughed nervously. I cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Your flexible? Wow." I said as I rolled my eyes and walked around him to the locker rooms. Half way their I heard Seth laugh out, "Your flexible? Come on bro, you gotta do better than that!" I smirked and waled into the locker room and took a shower before putting my clothes on and blow drying my hair. I threw it back in a ponytail and saw Rian come out of the shower smirking. "What's so funny?"
"He likes you."
"Who?" I asked as I put my stuff in the duffle bag and sat it on the bench and sat next to it waiting for her to answer.
"Um, Seth's friend Embry. The guy who was staring at you." She said as she put her clothes on and laced up her calf high converse. I was always at awe with her outfits. They were bold. She had on a black muscle shirt with a white one on top that had a heart on the bottom of it, a black skirt that stopped mid thigh, and her calf high converse.
"Oh, the weirdo." I said as I stood up and we walked out to the parking lot. When we got there, Seth and Embry were leaning against a car and waiting for Rian. "I'll see you tonight Rian!" I yelled across the parking lot as I got in my car. I looked over at Embry staring at me and rolled my eyes again. I had a red Hummer and I was always getting stared at because I was a girl driving it. I started up the car and played Trey Songz ' Does He Do It' blare out my speakers. I waved one last time before heading home. My phone went off and I turned the music down to answer it.
"Hello?"
"It's Rian, can you do me a huge favor."
"What?"
"Well, my friend Embry thinks your hot and wants to know if I can hook you guys up on a date. You just broke up with douche and Embry is a nice guy." I thought about it for a minute. What could the harm be?
"Sure. Tell him to pick me up at 7."
"Ok. Ja Ne!" She said before hanging up. I'll never learn Japanese so whenever she slipped and spoke it I would just smile and nod. I pulled into my house and got an outfit ready before doing my homework and eating lasagna the maid prepared. I cleaned up and put my outfit on. I put on some black shorts with a red baby doll shirt and some black and red striped flats. I straightened my hair and put some lip gloss on. I had just walked into the living room when the door bell rang. I opened the door to see Embry smiling at me. He had on a green t shirt with some jeans and vans.
"Hey!"
"Hey, let me grab my purse." I went to my room and grabbed my juicy purse before going back to the door. "Rena, I'll be back around 11!"
"Alright." Rena said as she swept around the house. We got in his car and headed to out of town.
"Where are we going?"
"To the reservation. I was thinking we could go bowling and then go down to a bonfire my friends are throwing. Rian and her brother and sister will be there." Embry said as he glanced nervously at me.
"Umm. Ok."
"So, I'm Embry Call. 17 years old."
"Eryn Johnson. 17 in three weeks." I said as I looked over at him.
"So were you born in forks?"
"No. I'm from Atlanta. How about you?"
"Born and raised on the reservation. So what made you move to Forks?"
"My parents. My mom is a researcher for the government and my dad is a cook. What do your parents do?"
"They own a mechanic shop."
"Cool. At least I know who to go to when my car breaks down." I laughed out as we pulled into the bowling rink and went inside. He paid for both of our shoes and fees and we waited for our rink. We were sitting and talking when a group of guys came up.
"Embry!"
"Hey Josh." Embry said warily as he glanced at me.
"Whose the cutie?" The guy, Josh asked me as he eyed me up and down and smiled.
"My date, Eryn. Eryn, this is Josh." Embry said defensively. Like he was going to punch the guy or something. I smiled at the guy and turned back to Embry when the guy Josh got in between us.
"So, Eryn, why are you with this freak? Your cute, too cute for him." Josh said with a laugh. I looked over at Embry looking away hurt and something in me snapped. I wanted to punch this guy in the face for making him hurt.
"I think he's hot. And he's cool to be around. I don't like arrogant guys. They always act all pushy because their dicks are small. Embry I think our lane is ready." I said as I got up and took Embry's hand. I heard the guy rant about up tight bitches and flipped him off. I felt a tug and looked at a still Embry as he started shaking and growling. "Embry?"
"Sorry." He rushed out and smiled before grabbing my hand again and walking the rest of the way to the lane. We bowled and laughed as she ran to the cashier and asked for bumpers and they said no. We talked a little and then headed out to go to the bonfire. We pulled up to a beach and I saw a large group of people there.
"Eryn!"
"Hey Yomi. What's up?" I asked as we hugged and noticed everyone staring at me and smiling. "Why does everyone always seem to stare at me?" They all started laughing and the guys started hugging and nudging Embry, who just stood there and blushed.
"So your Eryn?" A large guy asked.
"Um, yea. But everyone calls me E." I said with a smile as I got to know everyone and talked. Embry took me home and walked me to the door.
"So I had a good time."
"Me too." I said as he blushed and looked away.
"Can I take you out to eat Friday?" He asked as he looked at his feet. Was he shy?
"Yea. I'd like that a lot. Good night Embry." I kissed his cheek and headed inside and got ready for bed. I don't know how I feel about Embry, but I want him around.
"So what happened?" Quil asked me as I walked through the door a to Jake's house.
"It was amazing. She's amazing. She kissed my cheek. We're going out again on Friday."
"Woo!" Jake yelled and we all laughed.
"So she's hot!" Collin blurted out. We all looked at him with narrowed eyes until I started laughing.
"Yea. Josh thinks the same thing."
"Josh? The little prick that use to pick on you before you phased?"
"Yea. He was at the bowling alley and came up to us and was trying to make her ditch me. She basically said he had a small dick and then we walked off." I laughed out. "He called her a bitch though. I almost killed him. Next time I see him I'm beating his ass." I said as I got upset.
"He what? Oh yea, he's going down."
"You better be nice to her." Rian said to me as she gave me an evil eye. "If you hurt her, I'll beat the shit out of you."
"Got it!"
"Okay, everyone out. Old man needs his sleep!" Billy said to us with a laugh as we all headed home or ran patrol. I took my clothes off and phased as I ran to her house. I got there and circled around to check for danger before going to her bedroom window and looked in. She was sprawled on top of her covers in boy shorts and a sports bra with her hair pushed above her head on the pillow. She turned her head in my direction and shifted to be on her stomach.
'Stop being a peeping Tom and patrol' Jake yelled at me and then laughed.
'I'm not a peeping Tom! I just wanted to make sure she was ok'
'Uh Huh, where did I hear that before?'
'Shove it Leah!' Seth yelled out as we all started laughing. I stared at her one last time before disappearing in the woods. I missed the stunned girl in the window I just left staring after me.
