I take one last look at my old house and smile. Soon I will be in La Push, Washington with my best friend in the whole world. Seth Clearwater. We haven't seen each other in forever! I moved with my mom down here to California when my parents got divorced when I was 12. It was the saddest day of my life. Now that I'm 16 I get to pick who I get to stay with. My mom wants me to stay with my dad till I go off to collage in two years. Most moms I guess would WANT there kids to stay with them. Not my mom. She had had enough of me. She said I "got in the way" of her carrier. The only reason she had kept me around when she divorced dad is because she thought that people could "take pity on me because I'm a single mom" god I hate her.
Me and Seth had kept in contact for a long time after that. But the last couple of years he has been acting strange. Sometimes I wonder why he even calls me. Don't get me wrong he is the coolest guy I know, but, he has other friends now so sometimes I wonder…
"HEY! Kanti! Get in the car! I have a VERY important tryout and I cant miss it just because I have to drop you off at the airport!"
"Kay mom, Coming." I roll my eyes my mom was such a drama queen. I grabbed my IPod and guitar from the hall, along with my song book.
"I hope dad still has his old piano." I mumble as I hop into the car.
"Whatever! You'll be lucky if he doesn't make you sleep on the floor!" hah! Mom that actually would be you. Remember the time you made the guy you were sleeping with sleep on the floor? I thought (and wanted to say). Then she picked up a new cigarette and lit it.
"Mom concentrate on the road." Great now she's smoking again, wait I thought she was trying to quit..?
"If your so worried about me why don't you drive!" a normal person would have taken her seriously, but I was lucky to even be sitting in the passenger seat of her Shelby GT Mustang Convertible. "uh" she groaned "just shut up and read or something we'll be at the air port in ten minuets"

EEEEEPP! I'm here! I'm ACTUALY here!!!! I almost fainted when I saw my dad's old ford pickup truck. My dad came up and gave me a hug. "hey Kanti!"
"Hey Dad!" I said giving him a quick hug I looked around him, where was seth?
"oh Kan sweetie Seth had to go…" his voice trailed off like he was going to say something then realized he couldn't say it. I raised an eyebrow, and had a weird feeling that he had ditched seeing me for being with his friends but just shook it off.
"but he is at Sam and Emily's house now I could drop you off and take your stuff to the house." Hehe my dad is such a suck up. He hates to see anyone unhappy, even if it makes him unhappy.
"That would be great dad." I smile and hug him tight.
"okay lets get to the car" and I can see him blushing.

"Dad, just drop me off a couple houses down, I want to surprise him." I smile and I can see him smiling too, he's glad I'm here, and so am I.
"okay kiddo, be careful"
"Kay dad I will. Thanks " and kissed him on the cheek, and again he blushed.
As I walked up to the house next to Emily's house and peeked around the tree that separated the houses. The boys were outside playing football. Seth caught the ball that Jacob tossed and he was automatically tackled in a dog pile on the ground. He looked so funny it took all my strength inside me to keep from laughing.
"Hey! Hey get off me!" he laughed. The guys all stood up and I recognized all of them. There was Jacob, Embry, and Quill who were buds and inseparable friends and Paul, Sam, Jared, and Brady. On the porch were the girls, Emily (who was like an older sister to me), and Leah (wow I'm surprised she isn't playing football) and another girl, a brunette with curly hair. She was amazingly beautiful and her laugh was like the tinkling of bells.
Seth was hunched over just a couple feet from me turned around so I couldn't see his face. And that's when my body burst into action I ran around the tree and jumped on his back, covered his eyes. "ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" he screemed like a little girl and I laughed so hard I almost cryed. I slid of his back and he turned around with his angry face on (his nose all scrunched up and his mouth in an odd angle) witch only made me laugh harder. Every one was laughing now.
"Kanti?" he asked like he barely remembered me and then the strangest thing happened. His face changed. In a weird way. He smiled and the way he looked at me was like a blind man seeing light for the first time. An acwerd silence grew.
"So… You ditched me to play football?" I asked jokingly. And I was surprised when he didn't say something all sarcastic and cute like he normally does. His face stayed that way. Then almost at the same time everyone said "uhoh".
so that was the first chapter of my first story. i don't know if its any good, can you let me know if i should finish it?
