Chapter two, my nizzles.
We reached La Push and started moving our stuff in. Our house wasn't that big, but it was just big enough for two people. To my surprise, it was right next door to Embry's house. I'd already gone over to see him, but he wasn't home, so I continued helping my mom move things inside. I pushed my abnormally long, dark hair behind my shoulder as my mom and I lifted a mattress through the front door.
As I was going back outside to get something else off the trailer, someone called my name, startling me, "Megan!" I jumped and turned around to see a half naked boy running up the road. I had no clue who this guy was. How the heck did he know my name? He jogged to my side and hugged my tightly. When he finally let me go, I craned my neck to look at his face. Those features, that dark skin, those black eyes... I had seen them somewhere before.
Realization hit me like an aluminum baseball bat, and trust me I know what that feels like, "Jacob!" I squealed and literally jumped up to hug his neck. Jacob was the one who hit me with the aluminum baseball bat five years ago. He did it on accident, though. When he sat me back down on the ground, I observed his height and his lean body, "Jacob, you've grown! How tall are you?" I asked incredulously.
"Six seven," he beamed.
"Whoa. How did you know I was here?"
"My dad told me." he shrugged.
"Billy! How is he?" I asked.
"He's doing good. He's still in the chair, but he's doing good," he hugged me again. "Look at you! I bet you've been beating those boys off with a stick, huh?" he dug his elbow into my side.
I laughed bitterly, "Yeah right. They won't even give me the time of day." I crossed my arms and looked up at him.
"Aw come on." he put me in a head lock and rubbed my head with his knuckles. "The rest of the guys are down at First Beach. You wanna go down there?" he flipped back his shoulder length hair.
I smoothed my hair and looked back at the empty trailer and glanced at the open front door, "Let me tell my mom where I'm going." Jacob nodded and followed me to the front door. "Mom?" I looked around the messy living room and almost jumped when I saw her pop out of the kitchen. "I'm going down to First Beach with Jacob and everybody." I almost got knocked down as she tried to hug Jacob, making comments about how much he'd grown. She finally stopped rambling about how tall he was and let us be on our way.
We made it to first beach and I thought my legs were going to fall off from so much walking. I'd never walked so much in my life! I wasn't very athletic. I saw two guys wrestling in the sand and four guys and two girls sitting around. Jacob yelled and waved to them and pointed at me. They all started staring at me, making me feel self conscious. I looked down at my converse, then my jeans, then my "music is life" t-shirt, making sure there was nothing on my clothes, and ran my fingers through my hair, trying my best to untangle it. by the time we reached everyone, they were all standing up, facing Jacob and me. Four of them immediately approached me and hugged me all at once. When they all let me go, I walked up to Quil, who had also grown a lot. They had all grown a lot and now they were all like skyscrapers to me. I had to tilt my head at a ninety degree angle to look at their faces.
After Quil, Paul, and Jared, I reached Embry. When I looked into his eyes, it felt like 50,000 volts of electricity went through my body. The world around us seemed to freeze as we stared into each other's eyes. My stomach began to form a burning sensation and my heart palpitated faster and faster. I looked away and everything returned to normal.
What the hell was that? I wondered.
Embry startled me when he finally spoke, "Hey."
"Hey." I said shyly.
"You've changed a lot," He said, looking me up and down.
I giggled, "So have you. Look how tall you are!" I looked up at the top of his head, avoiding his eyes. He chuckled and it sounded like he was barking.
"Look how short you are." he rubbed the top of my head, messing my hair up.
"Why does everyone do that? Jacob first and now you," I said, smoothing my hair for what felt like the billionth time today.
He chuckled again, "Well all I can see is the top of your head. You won't look at me."
I laughed nervously and silently thanked God when Quil called my name, "Megan! C'mere!" I excused myself and walked over to where Quil was sitting on a peice of driftwood with two guys and two girls. One of the girls I recognized: Leah. "This is Seth, Jared, Kim, and you know Leah," he rolled his eyes.
I smiled and said a polite hello and ignored Leah, because I could feel her eyes boring into me. Quil patted the driftwood beside him, telling me to sit down, so I did.
"That's Collin over there." he pointed to a boy sitting next to Jacob. I looked over at Embry who was sitting by himself. He seemed to be deeply contemplating something. Quil followed my gaze and said, "What's up with him?" I shrugged my shoulders and heard my name being called again. It was Jake this time and I walked over to him.
"What did you say to Embry?" he whispered, jabbing a thumb in Embry's direction.
"Nothing." I looked up at Jacob.
"Why is he sitting there like that with that look on his face?"
"I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders for the second time since I got here.
"I'll go talk to him." Jake left me standing there before I could say anything. I watched him and Embry closely, noting the confused expression on Embry's face, while walking back over to Quil, Jared, Paul, Seth, Kim, and... Leah.
"What's up, y'all?" I said as I say back down on the driftwood.
"Nothin' y'all." Jared mocked me.
I stifled a laugh and glared playfully at him.
"You can't take a joke?" I heard Leah mumble.
I shot a glare in her direction and continued, "How did y'all grow so much in the short four years I was away?"
"Puberty." Someone replied. It was Embry.
I laughed and looked up at his smirking face. Jake was by his side with a huge smile.
Um yah. BAD stopping point, huh? Haha, sorry. I just wanted to get the second chapter up before I have to go to bed. Review, please. Pretty please.
