I hate waking up early so I was angry when Rachel came into my room looking bright eyed and bushy tailed telling me it was time for yoga.

"If this is what I have to expect cada dia (every day) I'm going back to San Fran," I mumbled in my pillow. She laughed and pulled the covers off of me.

"Come on lazy it's 9am," she said.

"Ay loca!" (crazy) I said trying to yank the covers back up. She just laughed and smacked my butt. I groaned loudly and rolled out of bed. I walked to the bathroom and looked at my hair sticking out all over my head. I used to be a pretty wild sleeper but I've calmed down a lot now that I'm older. However, sometimes I reverted back to my old ways. I yanked a brush through it and then put it up into a high ponytail. I changed into a pair of spandex and a tank top with a built in sports bra. I walked down the stairs to see Rachel moving her coffee table and a mat out. Paul was downstairs and I was surprised especially when he sat on the floor. I raised an eyebrow an expression I got from Rachel.

"You're going to do yoga with us Paul?" I asked smirking. He laughed and I could've sworn he blushed a little.

"It helps me relax," he said shrugging.

"Oh yeah Rachel did tell me you're a hothead like us. Welcome to the club," I said. I have just as bad of a temper as Rachel but surprisingly we never fought. It was weird. So my morning started with Paul, Rachel, and I doing yoga exercises. Let me tell you I've never laughed so hard in my life. I tried to concentrate I really did but seeing Paul move in those positions was just too much for me to handle. But the guy was really trying so I had to hand it to him. I still couldn't stop my giggles but we made it through the rest of the morning. I walked into the kitchen with Rachel and helped her start making breakfast.

"So Dee, are you planning on going to take pictures today?" she asked.

"I think I can put it off for a day or two to spend time with you."

"Yay!" she said. "Good because I want to introduce you to my dad and my friends Emily, Carmen, and Kim."

"Sounds like fun," I said.

"Yeah you'll meet the guys later on at lunch. It's at Emily's house today. I feel that I must warn you though…" she broke off and looked up at me.

"What?" I asked slowly.

"They're all as tall if not taller than Paul," she said severely. I sat on the chair and put my face in my arms.

"Ugh," I said. She just laughed.

I met Rachel's dad Billy who was really sweet and I was told that I would meet her brother Jacob later on. We made our way to Emily's house. Emily was very pretty and I didn't even flinch at her scars. Rachel had already warned me but being the adventurer I am I had seen worse so I felt totally normal around her. Kim was kind of quiet but Rachel told me not to let that fool me because she could talk your head off once you got to know her. She was pretty and I felt that every time I glanced at her again she looked prettier and prettier. Kim had the typical Quileute features with dark skin and brown eyes. She had long straight hair that she wore in a ponytail. Emily was part Makah and I guess that showed because her skin was little lighter than Kim's. Carmen had curly hair that was similar to mine but with looser curls and green eyes. She was only half Quileute too. She had a very bubbly personality that was similar to mine. With all of our similarities there was one thing that was different, our heights. She was 5'7. Grrrr!

I also learned that all the girls were dating the guys. Kim and Jared were engaged. Sam and Emily were married and expecting their first child and Carmen and Brady were dating as well.

"Gosh I hope this doesn't become a pattern," I muttered. Rachel laughed while the others looked at me confused.

"Dionne has a thing or lack of a thing for tall guys," she said putting her arm around my shoulder. They all looked at me in various states of shock except for Carmen who laughed.

"Oh I don't know I think Brady comes in handy. He can reach things that are too high. He's good at scaring annoying guys away. And it's just more to admire and love," she said sighing and twirling her hair.

"Still I think I'll pass. Point me out to the short guys," I said.

We continued to make lunch which looked more like a buffet. Apparently these guys eat a lot! All the while I was regaled with stories about the guys and how crazy they were and even about the girls exploits. I was laughing so hard that I'm sure my face was red. The door swung open and it was crowded with huge guys all in cut off shorts and tight t-shirts. There were at least seven of them. One of them who I think was the tallest walked over to Emily and kissed her scarred cheek and then her lips and her stomach. That must be Sam. He was absolutely gorgeous and he seemed to reek of authority. Another guy who was an inch or two shorter than Sam walked over to Kim and picked her up for a kiss. That must be Jared. He looked like a man but he had this boyish charm about him. They all had short cropped hair in various styles and it made them look like brothers. Carmen giggled as a lankier but still extremely muscular guy with hair that was constantly falling into his eyes buried his face in her hair. Brady. The only other person I recognized was Paul but the other guys were a mystery to me. I kind of stood off to the sidelines as they all rushed over to the food and began to devour it. They were like wild animals. I felt like I was in the grasslands of Africa all over again watching the lions devour their prey.

"Oh guys," Rachel said pulling my arm, "this is my best friend Dionne from college. Dionne that's Sam, Jared, Brady, Quil, Collin, Seth, and Embry. There are more guys but you'll meet them later at the party on Saturday. They're probably at the Cullen's house playing video games." I looked at each of them trying to memorize names with faces. I was sure I would get them confused a couple times since I'm really bad with names but I would try. Besides I would see them for the next few months so I was sure it wouldn't be a problem. I smiled briefly at all of them but when I got to Embry he just grunted and didn't look up. Jerk. They asked me a couple questions like where I was from and silly ones like how could I stand being friends with Rachel. Rachel just laughed but I could've sworn I heard Paul growl. Weird.

"You have a slight accent. Where are you from?" the one named Seth asked. I liked him. He was really sweet and he seemed like the kind of guy I would like. Too bad he was so tall.

"Well my dad is Mexican and my mom is black and a quarter Mexican. So I guess that makes me 5/8ths Mexican and 3/8ths black," I said laughing. He laughed too.

"Yes we mutts have to stick together!" Carmen said high-fiving me. I found out that her mother was white and her father was Quileute. I chatted some more and felt instantly comfortable with the guys. Well except for that dude Embry who still didn't look up from his plate. Instead he was barely civil. For some annoying reason though, I couldn't stop glancing at him. I wanted him to look at me.


Gosh Embry, why are you such an a-hole? Dionne is already feeling the pull of the imprint it seems before it's even happened. Will he look at her, or will he keep looking at his plate? Why is he so interested in his plate anyway? Yeesh. Lol

Weiver if you're feeling it so far and I will endeavor to update. However work starts tomorrow so I'll probably only update once a day from now on...I know I've spoiled you guys with my other stories and updating twice a day but no more! I'm sorry but don't worry, this will give me more time to finish my next...and possibly last story for you guys. Lol I can't think of anymore stories to write...or can I?
