Here is the second chapter. It's a little bit shorter than the last one but I couldn't find anything more to say. So enjoy and please review!
Chapter 2: Cliff Diving and the Boys.
When we got to the cliffs, I practically jumped out of the car. I raced to the cliff's edge and stood there taking in the view I hadn't seen for three years. I heard some rustling in the trees and became rigid.
"Hey Porsche," a familiar voice said. "I could see your jet black hair from a mile away."
"SAM!" I turned amd jumped on my cousin's back. I was so happy to see him. I hopped down after a minute or two. " So how's cousin Emily?"
"She would be better if you went and saw her today after cliff diving."
"Trust me I will. Does she know I am here?"
"Not that I know of... unless she's seen your mom."
"Well momma's setting up my Quinceanara right now, so probably."
"True." Just then five other people came out of the trees. One of them was my dad, go figure. Then there was Jared, Paul, and two other 'newbies' I didn't know. Jared looked me over while Paul just looked bored. The other two just looked awkward, not knowing who I was.
"Well ain't it Elisabete," Paul said. I glared. He was on the edge of the cliff so if he backed up, he'd fall off. I took a step toward him and he took a step back. "I give in," he said as parts of the cliff fell over the edge and about toppled over.
"It's Elsie to you, dog." He growled. Wait. He just growled? That's not normal.
"Paul stay calm. She's my cousin," Sam said with a hit of authority in his voice. So he is the same guy I left when the first move happened: always talking down to the younger people he hangs out with.
"So it is you." Jared looked like he give me a bone crushing hug which is close to what he did. "I didn't recognize you. You are all grown up." I smiled at him.
"Yes, she's too pretty to be that scarred up twelve year old we all once knew." My cousin was walking over to the 'newbies' as I blushed at his compliment. "Porsche this is Brady and Collin. Brady, Collin this is Elisabete Fortunata Uley. Elsie for short. She is Thomas Uley's, my father's bother,"-he pointed to my dad-" youngest daughter. And only one if her sister has already moved out,"- I nodded- "It is her fifteenth birthday today."There were scattered happy birthday's.
"And you're all invited to her party," my dad spoke up. He looked at Sam just as he was about to ask where. "You can just follow us to it." They all nodded.
We all walked to edge of the cliff where we would be jumping off. I took off my parka, socks, shoes, gloves, and put my hair up. I poised myself and jumped.
It felt like I was free falling. I saw the cliff meet the water and after a few precious moments of taking in oxygen I hit the water. I closed my eyes against the first sting of salt water. After I was a few feet down in the water, i opened my eyes. At first I saw nothing but the murky water of First Beach. Then I saw the bubbles of another cliff diver as he hit the water. I swam a few feet out away from the cliffs and surfaced. I looked around for the other cliff diver and saw him just before he pulled me under. I would know this one from anywhere no matter what side I was looking at.
Embry Call had just jumped off the cliff after me.
We resurfaced, me out of breath and him with a smile on his face. We burst out laughing at nothing, an old past time of ours that annoyed the others. After everyone had dove, we headed to part of the beach that would lead us to where our stuff was.
I didn't realize how much I missed this place until now.
