Quote of the chapter- I have friends…they're just fictional.
Song of the chapter- When it's good, by Ben Harper.
-----------------------
I looked in the mirror at my tanned skin. It was fairly clear, except for the occasional zit that appeared out of nowhere. I looked at my phone. I felt a smile on my face when I recognized my wallpaper as the cover of my favorite book. I pulled my brown hair into a ponytail, and ran to my computer. I couldn't get there fast enough and see if there was any new news about Eclipse. When I saw there wasn't, I felt my face fall.
Let me introduce myself. I'm Jesika Turner, straight A student, aspiring actress, and an avid reader of Twilight and New Moon. You know you are pretty obsessed with something when the cover of your favorite book is the wallpaper on your phone, and computer, most of your friends are fictional from a certain book. And last but not least, you got a puppy and named it the name of your favorite fictional person.
I smiled to myself when I felt my puppy lick my foot. I looked down and the Irish setter puppy, and picked him up. "Edward, I love you." I told the puppy as I kissed him on the nose. I jumped as the phone rang. I set Edward down, and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Jesika, how are you?" It was my cousin, Nicky.
"Good, how are you? Are you excited?" I questioned, my happiness was contagious.
"Excited!" She squealed. We were referring to our family reunion in Washington State. We already planned our visit to Forks. We are going to Washington for our aunt's wedding, and while we are up there, we are going to visit the town we have longed to visit.
"Me too. I finally named my puppy." I commented.
"Oh, you sound a little sad."
"No, just embarrassed." I laughed, but the sound was off.
"What is it?"
"Don't laugh. But I named him Edward Cullen." I smiled.
She broke her promise, and laughed anyway. After we finished our conversation, it was time to get ready to head to the beach with my friends. I changed into my bathing suit, cheer shorts, and a thin tank top. I put Edward on a leash, and slid on flip-flops before running out to the LA beach.
I looked at the clear sun, sliding my sunglasses on. I loved the heat, and the beaches that LA had, but even I knew I should live in Washington, rain just made me happy.
Just ahead of me, I saw Lacy Patterson, and Jake Glyndell. I waved to them, and the stopped and waited. I jogged up to them, out of breath when I reached them. "I'm," pant, pant, "amazed," pant, pant, "I didn't fall running over here." I said. They laughed at me, and squatted down to pet Edward. I leaned over and hugged both Jake and Lacy. Before I could hide my hands, Jake grabbed it and looked at my hot pink nails.
"Nice." He said raising an eyebrow. I glared at him, though he probably couldn't see it.
Lacy punched him. "I like it." She said defensively. I laughed at myself. How did I become friends with the cutest football player, the girly cheerleader? I thought of my other friends, Jennifer, the smartest, Phoebe, the girly girl, and look at me. I'm your average girl, who likes all different stuff. Ben Harper, Fall Out Boy, Fergie, country music, weird nail colors, and other stuff that separated me from my group of friends.
"Shall we?" I asked, holding out my arms, bent at the elbow. The both took it, and we walked to the beach. I looked at the height difference between my friends and I. Lacy was 5'6, Jake was 6'4, and I was barely five foot. Actually, not even, I was 4'11. 75. Pathetic huh? But, Jake always teased me. "I was fun sized." He would say.
Once we were at the beach, we started reminiscing about our childhood days. We all grew up together, and were always friends. "Oh wait. I remember one." I said suddenly when I pulled myself from my memories.
"Tell us." Lacy ordered. I took off my sunglasses, glared at her, and put them back on. I crossed my legs Indian style, and started off.
"Remember in first grade, they would always ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up?" The both nodded. "Well, I remember Lacy said a princess, Jake said an astronaut, and the teacher must have thought I was on drugs when I said I wanted to be a vampire." I laughed at the memory. The both laughed with me. Truthfully, I've always been obsessed with vampires, and when I saw Twilight, I nearly melted. It was a dream come true.
I pulled my self from my annoying thoughts. I made a face, I was always one to start thinking about something, and be so sucked into it, I am completely unaware of anything happening around me. Dang it Jesika, pull yourself together.
"What were you saying?" I asked, looking at Lacy. She pointed at Jake. I shut my eyes real tight, and then opened them. "What?"
"I just thought I would warn you that James is planning on asking you to the summer games." I grimaced. James was nice, but he was a little annoying. I then smiled at the thought of the summer games, a full day tournament with Basketball, softball, baseball, and volleyball, all day. I was fairly good and basketball, and it is fun to play.
"Oh great." I smiled, "How should I turn him down?"
"Why would you turn him down?" Lacy asked seriously for once.
"I'm going with all you guys, right?" I asked looking at both of them.
"Actually, Jake and I are going." Lacy stated.
"Phoebe and Jennifer are going with dates too." Jake finished.
I frowned. "Okay. I'll think about what I can do." Just then, my phone rang the popular White Stripes song, Icky Thump. I looked at the caller ID. I hit the answer button on my SLVR. "Hello James." I said, rolling my eyes.
-----------------
Long chapter. I know it is kind of scattered, it will be better next chapter since you kind of know Jesika now. I based Jesika off of me. All the friends of her are my real friends, but with different names. I have a different name also. But I have hot pink nails, obsessive compulsion, a slvr, long brown hair, and I really am going to Forks in two weeks for a family wedding, and my cousin in this story is real. Sadly, the puppy isn't. I don't own anything, but leave comments please.
