Chapter 1
New Kid
"You can do this" I whispered to myself.
My stepmom drove me to school. "Sweetie, are you sure you don't want me to come in and help you?" She asked.
"No, Shell, I got it, thank you though" She parked in front of the school.
I kissed her cheek and got out. I waved as she drove off. "You can do this" I repeated. I walked into the building marked 'office'. Inside a very tall, very muscular guy stood off to the side of the office.
"Hottie" I muttered. I ran my fingers through my hair and walked up to the desk.
"Hi, I'm Sofia Baker; my stepmom registered me last week?" The girl nodded and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Ms. Hall, welcome to the reservation, here is your schedule and a map, and Mr. Call here will be your guide"
The guy turned to me. He held out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Embry"
I shook his hand and said "Sofie, Hi nice to meet you"
"Dang, his hands are hot" I thought. He let go of my hand and gestured towards the door, which he held open for me.
"Thank you very much" I said walking out.
As we walked two guys and a girl came up to us.
"Hey Em, who's your friend?" One boy said winking at me. I flashed him a smile. This boy was more muscular than the others, but shorter. The other boy was muscular and tall, like Embry. But he had his arm around the girl so I just smiled at them both and said,
"Hello" Embry chose now to introduce me.
"Guys this is Sofie, Sofie this is Jared and Kim, and that dork is Quil" I laughed. He grinned.
Up came two smaller boys.
"And this is Collin and Brady" I waved and they both grinned.
"Hey, where's Seth?" Embry asked.
Everyone shook their head. We started walking towards the classroom buildings. The only free seat was the one next to the girl, Kim.
"Hi, do you want to sit here" She asked.
"Yes please" I said nodding and sitting down.
"Hi, I'm Kim, You're Sofie, right?" I nodded.
"Well, I really hope you like it here, I'm sure we'll be best friends." I smiled.
"Thanks, I'm glad to know someone likes me." She snorted.
"Someone! Girl did you not see Brady and Collin checking you out, even Quil was and he's, aw, sort of taken."
"Opps!" I thought.
"What about Embry? He's not taken, right?"
She grinned and said "No, Why?"
"Because the first thought to my head was 'he's so hot' and I hate to think about other girls guys" She smiled.
She was probably thinking about Jared and my first thoughts about him.
"See we have a saying back at my old school, 'sisters before misters' and thinking about another girls guy is totally putting guys first, and I don't do that" She laughed.
"That will keep you tons of friends!" She promised.
I introduced myself to the teacher.
Kim and I walked towards where my next class was. We were talking when I heard someone call her name. We both spun to the voice. A tall, muscular guy with copper skin like the other guys, and dirty blonde hair.
"Hey Seth!" Kim said.
"Pinch me I must be dreaming! This guy is totally beautiful!" I thought, gaping at him. He stopped in his tracks when he saw me.
He was staring at me. I blushed. Kim looked from him to me, and her eyes widened and her mouth made an o shape. She looked at Seth and tilted her head towards me. He just continued to stare, as if he didn't see her.
"Seth, this is the new girl, Sofie. Sofie, this is Seth. He's part of the group you meet this morning." She said. I nodded and looked away from his big brown eyes. His eyes had much prettier of a color than my eyes did.
"Hi." I said.
"Um, Seth, Sofie has music this period. You have it, right?" She asked.
"Yeah." He said, trying to sound causal, but I heard the excitement in his voice. I glared at Kim. I looked at him and he gave me a half hearted smile. I shrugged.
"Thanks for all your help, Kim." I said, glaring, but then looking at Seth.
"Come on, music room's this way." He said. I smiled and followed him.
