Chapter two: Party
Party: A social gathering, usually a gathering held for amusement and/or to celebrate a special occasion.
"Kim, are you going to the party at the Gregory's this tonight?" Daisy asked after school. I was waiting in the rain once again for my socialite sisters.
"I'm not really sure I was invited," I said with a frown. I hated not being invited to stuff it always hurt my feelings.
"Oh don't worry Collin said to invite everybody, he wanted to throw a real party" Daisy replied.
"How do you know, I didn't know you talked to Collin," I said grinning.
"I cant help it if he as an exceptionally loud mouth and he happens to sit in front of me in chemistry," Daisy replied her cheeks turning red.
"Oh..Um okay, I probably can't make it though" I said with a frown. Parties weren't my forte, I was more of stay home with a movie and a nig old bucket of popcorn type person.
"Then why didn't you want to be invited," asked Daisy with a frown.
"It's the invitation that counts," I said as I finally saw Mandy walking toward the car. One sister down, one to go.
"Whatever, that is a total lie," Daisy drawled rolling her eyes. I blushed at the bluntness knowing that is was true.
"Why do you want to go anyway," I asked rudely. I caught Daisy off guard and she sat there with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well, we are almost sixteen, we have never been to a party that didn't have a clown and I know for a fact neither of us have tasted alcohol," Daisy replied. There was a fire burning in her eyes. She wanted this; I wasn't quite sure why my best friend suddenly craved to be normal, to fit in, and that scared the hell out of me.
"Where is Clarisse," Mandy shrieked as she trudged over in the rain, umbrella held high and perfectly matching her Coach Rain Boots.
"That is my queue to leave, see you Kimmy," Daisy said heading to her brothers old beat up truck.
I shrugged watching my little sister fume and grow more agitated by the minute.
"Steven never abandoned us in the parking lot," Mandy huffed. I shrugged again, I knew from experience to never talk to Mandy when she was in a mean mood. Although Mandy and Clarisse may be alike in a lot of ways, Clarisse was definitely a lot nicer and I wished she was the one waiting in the rain with me.
Three hours, two hundred dresses and one tantrum later Clarisse and Mandy stood proudly smiling at their 'creation'.
"Aww Kimmy," Daisy cooed as we pulled up to second beach and scanned for a parking spot. Daisy swerved into a spot slamming my head against the dash board creating a large red spot. I rubbed it mumbling incoherently.
"Come one," Daisy whined as we spun in circles stumbling around in the up rooted tree branches.
"Kim where are you I can't see," Daisy called panicked half an hour later.
"Right behind you keep moving, we have to be almost out of the woods by now," I said pushing her forward. It was a bluff, luckily my best friend didn't know that.
"Of course, we would get lost and miss our first high school party ever," I said after a few more minute of tree tripping.
"I really wish we had a flashlight" mumbled Daisy sarcastically with a bitter edge slipped into her tone.
"Hey I didn't mean to drop it," I said defensively. It wasn't my fault I was little bit clumsy. Okay I was a lot more than a little clumsy; I was a hazard to anyone and anything around me; but, I learned a long time ago that couldn't be helped.
"Calm down I was just kidding," she said. I could practically hear her eyes rolling in the back of her head.
"AHHHHHHHH, Daisy screamed. She stopped abruptly and I ran into her back. My hand squeezed hers in fear. What was going on?
"What's wrong, what's happening," I asked quickly. My poor scary cat body was already starting to quake.
"Don't worry Daisy just ran into me," said an annoying voice. I groaned I knew that voice.
"Shut up Quil," said Daisy defensivly. She squinted as a flashlight revealed her curvy frame before moving to my smaller one.
"You should watch where you're going," she continued. She let go of my hand and brought me into view of the others.
"No need for the hostilities," a strange beautiful voice said. I gasped I knew that voice, I would recognize that voice in my worst nightmares. It was Jared. Jared Thail. Oh my god!
"Hey Kim, I don't usually see you wondering out in the woods," said Quil and he gave me a cocky grin. I ignored him and rolled my eyes.
"You guys heading to the party," Daisy asked. I just sat silent like a troll my eyes gleaming and my mouth practically drooling at the sight of Jared. Jared. Mmm.
"Uh yes, just a direction challenged," said Jared with a smile and an eye roll. Oh my god Jared just spoke to me. Well, he spoke to Daisy and I but secretly I think it was me.
"We kind of had the same problem," Daisy said and she gave the boys a wink. My face burned with envy I was about to say that.
"I think its right through the clearing, may we escort you ladies" asked Quil. He gave a mock bow and linked his arm through Daisy's. Together they strolled through the forest toward the clearing.
Shall we," asked Jared. I shrugged looking down before finally meeting Jared's gaze.
I looked at Jared's tall body and a blush creeps across my face. He was just so magnificent. His muscles were coiled and tight, and looked absolutely fierce under his dark t-shirts. I could stare at him forever.
"You coming," Jared asked staring at me as if I was mentally challenged.
After I few more seconds of intense geeky staring I nodded and we turned to follow the others. Sadly he didn't link our arms like Daisy and Quil did but I was still walking with him. I couldn't believe it, me, Kim Akaka was talking to Jared Thail. The Jared Thail, I was in heaven. Second Beach Heaven.
We walked in an awkward silence until reaching a clearing followed by a huge house and tons of people talking loudly and a few drunkenly.
"So I'm Jared," he said. I nodded, know duh, I had known that since like fourth grade.
"Kim," I said holding out my hand. He shook it and my heart melted. He was touching me. Oh my god!
"Wow, your hot," I say pulling my hand back.
"Uh thank you," Jared said oddly.
"I mean your temperature," I say my face turning beet red again. I really spent more time blushing than with regular skin. I need to invest in a good self tanner.
"Jared over here," a voice called breaking are private moment. I looked up and we had just strolled into the heart of the party. Dumb Paul was calling Jared away.
"Coming," he said and Jared jogged off toward Paul and a group of others. He didn't even say goodbye. Hell he didn't even look back at me, but I was too exited to care. For the first time in my life I had spoken to Jared Thail.
"Bye Kelly," Jared called looking over his shoulder waving at me. If I was excited before this was nothing in comparison. An ant hill to a mountain. A Chihuahua to a Great Dane.
"Hey Kim, that was a dream come true right," laughed Daisy as I walked over to her. She was sitting by the fire a good twenty yards away from Jared. I could see him perfectly; his broad shoulders and tall frame were high lighted by the flames of the fire.
"Oh yeah, that was awesome," I said remembering how I shook Jared's hand. He was sort of warm, I wondered if he had a fever. I hoped he wasn't sick, poor baby. I smiled thinking of countless scenarios where I would nurse him back to health and we would fall in love.
"Kim, earth to Kim," Daisy giggled laughing. She pulled me out of my trance and I returned unhappily back to reality.
"What were you thinking abou,t" she asked, "I probably already know". She gave me a wink and I blushed.
"Three guesses who I was thinking about," I said smiling.
"Ummmm…..let me think this is such a tough question," she said in mock confusion. We had only played this game about a thousand times over the last few years.
"Sure you don't want five guesses," I asked teasingly.
"No I think one is enough," she said giving my shoulder a squeeze.
"Whose you guess Daisy," I said pretending to be serious.
"Let me see is it Jared Thail," she exclaimed.
"You got it come down and collect your prize," I said drawing my voice out like I was a host of a game show.
'I'm so exited, I hope I win a car or maybe a trip to Paris," she said bouncing in her seat with fake excitement.
"Nope your prize is Kimberley Akaka as your best friend," I said drawing my voice out long and deep.
"Boo, I wanted the trip," she said with a pout.
"Daisy," I said whining her name. I wiped a pretend tear from my eye.
"Don't worry I love you Kimberly Annabelle Akaka," she said.
"I love you to Daisy Marie Madison," I replied giving her a hug. We sat there a few more minutes just watching the fun around us.
"I also love Santa Clause, Orlando Bloom, and that hot guy from the toothbrush commercial" Daisy replied breaking our comfortable silence.
"And I love Jared," I said joining in on her silliness.
"Speaking of Jared look," she said and she pointed to him and Paul. They looked like they were fighting. That was weird they were best friends, then again I heard Paul had a nasty temper.
"Should we go over there," I asked. I was worried for Jared, I didn't want him hurt.
"No, we don't even know them, let someone else figure it out, lets just watch," Daisy said entranced. She was an expert on the reservation gossip. Her and my mom could go on for hours when they got into a gossip mood.
"Move get back," said a tall man pushing Daisy and I out of the way. He was headed toward Jared and Paul.
He looked back scowling at our frozen figures.
"I said it wasn't safe, get away, move," he said. We moved in an instant afraid. There was something about this man who made me want to obey him. He had some natural born leadership qualities that required respect and admiration.
"Let's go," Daisy said pulling me back a hundred yards with her.
"What's going on," I asked her my eyes wide with confusion.
Paul and Jared were still fighting but there whole frames started to vibrate. The tall man said something to them and they looked horrified. The both ran into the forest shaking like an earthquake. The man kicked off his shoes and ran after them.
"That is so weird, should we go check up on them," I ask. I start to follow but Daisy stops me and we both stare into the woods.
"Let's just go," she said turning to face me, "I wonder why Sam was at a high school party."
"Who's Sam," I ask my thoughts concentrated on Jared and Jared alone.
"Sam Uley was that big man who pushed us back," she said. My eyes widened as I peered into the woods looking for the long gone boys.
"Really so that's Sam."
Sam was the town's biggest gossip since Embry Call was born. He had disappeared for almost three weeks and had the whole town pit looking for him. He got back and dumped his fiancée Leah Clearwater and started dating her cousin Emily Young. It would have caused gossip anywhere but in this little town everyone knew everyone else's business. Clarisse or Many would probably be telling me about the Paul/Jared fight tomorrow morning, and they wouldn't believe me when I said I was there.
"That was really weird," I say. I glance around at the other party guests but no one seems to notice but Jacob Black. He is staring out into the woods, his eyes horrified and round.
"Yah it was, want to go home and watch movies?" Daisy asked.
"Sure lets go," I said, and together we walked off the strange events forgotten, almost. Weirdly I was sure I heard a wolf howl as we made our way back to the car.
Hey Everyone, I hope you enjoyed it! Chapter three is already ready. Please review and I promise to update faster. Remember Review! :) It only takes a second.
Thank in advance for the reviews.
Also, it was been a while since I have read Eclipse and Breaking Dawn and if anyone is interested helping me out with the timeline such as the time of year Jared brought Kim to the picnic and the final battle or anything significant that would be fantastic. Again, thank you for reading.
