Chapter 2

He was almost five feet away I was trying to find some words, or at least one word to say to him as he gracefully walked towards me. H… before I could

get the word out Seth came out of nowhere and jumped in conversation with the guy, not even acknowledging that I was standing there. The only

positive to this was that I figured out the guy's name was Bradley and he had just moved to Forks a couple of weeks ago with his mom. Seth got to

talking about surfing and before I knew it they were going to get boards. I stormed off the beach and switched to wolf form quickly wishing Seth could

hear all the words that were going through my head intended for him. What if he hadn't even noticed me or what if he didn't want to talk and was

relieved that Seth got him away? Apparently he and Seth really hit it off and for the next two weeks Bradley and I only had a few minutes of awkward eye

contact and the occasional smile. Finally, one day Seth was off doing pack duty and I arrived to the beach anxiously but when I arrived there was no sign

of Bradley. Finding a seat on a rock I stared out at the ocean thinking about giving up on having a conversation with Bradley. All we could ever be was

friends anyway and he would only end up hurting me in the end. I heard someone approaching but I didn't even bother to turn around, suddenly I felt

a gentle tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see beautiful green eyes gazing into mine and a perfect smile as he asked me my name. "Leah" I

stumbled out and he smiled and sat by me as he told me his. Hours had passed and we hadn't even realized it because we were so deep in

conversation like we had known each other for years. We were gathering all the information we could about each other. He had lost his dad too and

him and his mom moved down here to live with his grandma. After an owl hooted in the stillness of the night he said it was getting late and headed

home, so we went our separate ways but I phased just to make sure his walk home was a safe one. I went to bed knowing that I really liked this boy

and I don't think I can be just friends with him…but does he feel the same?…after all I am not the easiest person to be around and keeping what i truly

am away will be difficult and I could hurt him if I lost control.
