Chapter I

Our last summer

I was absorbed, lost in the movement of the waves, contemplating the way the sun bathed them with bright flashes, after all a day with a good amount of sun was weird in La Push, even during the summer. I didn't realize someone was speaking to me; it was just me and the nature, until, with a dry thump, my best friend decided that the local flora and I should have a closer relationship.

"Quil!" I screamed while I followed the boy with the impish grin along the seashore with my hand tightly gripping the kelp he had just thrown to my face. "I have something that belongs to you!."

"If you want me to eat it, you'll need to catch me first!" He said, jumping into the water and swimming far from where I was, towards a boy with long and shiny black hair, Jacob, whose big smile appeared to grow even wider when he saw our childish behavior.

My feet touched the water but I backed away from it immediately, like it was burning me. It was silly, I love the beach but hate the water, I had always been like that.

"It's not fair!" I screamed at him with a pout "Be a man and let me hit you."

"Keep dreaming" He answered, making faces at me "If you were less of a chicken…"

Quil was my best friend during all my childhood, and, after all this years, he was still a jerk sometimes. I thrown the kelp back at him but because of lack of dexterity, it landed on Jake's head, who for the first time in the whole day, let his smirk falter.

"Hey! Don't involve me in your childish wars" he reacted, throwing the kelp back at Quil and starting his own silly fight with him, I just could make out kelps flying, splashes of water and laughter; they were just a couple of big babies.

"Jade" called a third voice; I turned around to find a tall and skinny boy drying his shoulder length hair with a towel "Shall we go get those sodas?"

I smiled at Embry, my other best friend and, for me, the sanest of all. We started walking along the seashore to the coffee shop that was near by, when Quil came splashing out of the water with the largest kelp I had ever seen hanging from his head.

"What do you guys say, do I look just like Jake or what?" he asked, running his hands through the kelp like he was styling his hair. "Hey, where are you two going?"

Embry passed his stare quickly from Quil to me with a mischievous grin. The next thing I knew was that Embry was now carrying me over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes while running away from Quil, who was following behind him.

Ok, maybe Embry wasn't that sane either.

"Hey! Give her back to me!" said Quil in a joking tone at the same time as he ran after us.

"No, it's my turn to have her!" answered Embry in the same attitude without stopping. I hadn't realized how strong these guys were, they may be skinny but their stamina was probably off the charts.

"If you break her, you're gonna have to deal with me!" said Quil with a smile, as he stopped running and fell behind.

"I'm not a thing!" I screamed at both of them, faking to be offended; since we were little, they were always very protective of me, so I partly knew it was just a game.

"No, you are not" whispered Embry, in the process of putting me back to the ground as softly as he could "You're a princess" he finished with a very soft voice, a smile on his lips and a pat on the top of my head.

We walk back all together to our houses, being too young to drive anything yet. They, as always, were annoying each other and laughing; and me, on the other hand, I was thinking about other stuff, watching the pictures we took that day on the screen of my camera.

"Jade, are you ready to be the weirdo of the school tomorrow?" asked Quil, messing my long dark brown hair with his hand.

"With you three, freaks, sitting right next to me, I don't think people will notice me much" I answered, imitating him.

"It will be great, just like the old times" finished Jake, leaving all of us with our hopes high. We were going to make this year the best one up to this point.

Two months had already passed since I moved back to La Push to live with my mother again, and life had never been sweeter.

I never thought the truth that my words held, neither did I imagined how quickly things would steer out of my control.

A/N: Any mistake you see, please let me know. Wow, it's hard to translate a story, I hope with time things will be easier :D

I would appreciate some reviews so I can know what you think and what things I should improve.

Thanks for reading!
