Embry's POV
I could feel it in my bones; even before she walked through the door, it felt like a string tying me to her. Jake waltzed into the room all swagger and cockiness, confident git followed by my girl.
Her eyes were piercing emerald green, her hair a mass of loosely curled chestnut brown locks. Her willowy figure was framed perfectly by her clothes, dark skinny jeans, rock band tee, numerous retro bracelets clanged together on her slender wrists and a pair of brightly coloured converse. This was my type of girl.
Ella's POV
We talked all lesson, favorite colours mine was purple his red, favorite sweets mine fizzers his Palma violets a perfect match. There were the more obvious similarities; both love chocolate and then there was the more uncommon similarities both aspire to visit Lapland and go dog sleighing, the things that made us seem like soul mates brought together by the universe.
I was sad at the end of English, sad to leave Embry's loving company and to enter the jungle that was La Push School.
Biology and Physics ticked past slowly the hand barley moving for minutes. Two new classes, forty new names to learn. Most of the kids were friendly enough, asking where I came from, did I have any fit older brothers...ok that was just Vanessa whom I later found out already had a boyfriend Paul, another of Jake's buff mates.
Some of the bitchier girls asked more intimate details, did I have a boyfriend, was I a virgin ect. Towards the end of Physics I became panicked, it was almost lunchtime. My stomach lurched, it would be even worse than biology; who to sit with? Where to sit? Where not to sit? What to eat? The laws of the jungle loomed down on me.
As I walked out of the classroom heart thudding I noticed Vanessa waiting…for me.
"Thought you might like someone to sit with?"" I nodded eagerly and persued her into the abyss, the dining room. She motioned for me to follow her to one of the ques.
I noticed most people piling their trays high with food, I relaxed. At my old school it was a social crime to buy more than a salad, it's probably why I've kept so slim.
Vanessa continued to pile her tray, pasta with beans, a plate full of chips and fish, two yoghurts, a biscuit, a smoothie, a milkshake. She saw me looking astonished and she giggled,
"The pasta and smoothie are for me the rest is for Paul." Ah the famous Paul, another boy on steroids I was to meet I thought to myself.
I picked myself an apple and a bottle of water out of habit, it would take a while to get used to eating normally again. Like I said at my old school if you were someone who ate lunch you were fat.
She led me down the rows of tables, each girl gave me the Manhattan once over, or rather the La Push once over, appraising my outfit. Jeans diesel, ok so I got them from t'k max they're still diesel just a quarter of the price. T-shirt retro, converse all star of course. Then they looked to my makeup and hair, kohl Benefit, dark eye shadow Mac, Rimmel pressed powder, Maybelline volumizing mascara and a slick of lip-gloss. Oh and not forgetting my Jo Malone vanilla perfume…not that they could see this but still.
Sat at the table were Quil and Claire (whom I'd met in biology they were a couple), Jake grinning away as per usual, Jared (again met in biology) and Kim (Vanessa had told me about them being couple), a buff guy whom I assumed was Paul and Embry.
Just thinking about him made my heart skip a beat. Vanessa's face melted as soon as she set eyes on Paul and his facial expression turned from sour to deliriously happy. It was obvious the amount of adoration and love from both sides, and do you know what the funny thing is? Embry was giving me the same look, the same amount of commitment if not more.
But our loving connection was broken when Jake hoisted me onto his knee. Embry's expression drooped so I abruptly slid off Jake's knee and onto the seat between Jake and Embry.
Jake looked at my lunch critically "chica why you no eat much eh? You need some meat on you, fatten you up" he was joking; of course but Embry frowned at him deeply.
It carried on like that most of lunchtime, Jake teased me and Embry would scowl, a bit like a routine. Spanish drifted by slowly, again I was introduced to the class, again I had to learn a whole set of new names, dull.
When math's finally came I sighed, numbers were not my forte. But when I reached the math's block (after much confusion with my map) I saw Embry practically glowing with delight, maybe math's wouldn't be that bad after all.
The teacher let me and Embry sit together during math's so what did we do? Talk all the way through it of course! It was nice to talk to Embry without Jake, more quiet, peaceful, intimate.
At the end of the lesson Embry held back to ask me something,
"I was wondering, if tonight…I mean if you're not busy, it's just that me and the guys have regular campfires, with the elders, and if you want you could come with?" I think he'd been the most nervous guy to ever ask me out, not that I'd had much experience in that area but I had one or two boyfriends at my last school. But coming from Embry, all of his stuttering and stammering was so dam cute, so of course I said yes!
I ran home exited about my date with Embry, what to wear I pondered to myself as I walked through the door. I saw my mum standing in the living room with my father mourning over Katy's stuff.
Of course, they'd told me that her personal stuff from being in the army was going to be delivered today. My mum held a t-shirt my dad some photographs of us all happy, as a family. I walked into the room and as I did I almost tripped on a small pocket journal. With no lock I opened it up carefully and flicked to the last few entries.
'Me and Siana were on patrol the other night when Fredrick came by, my god he's fit I mean he's steaming…'
This was so typically my sister, I smiled and turned the page to the last written entry.
'I don't know what's happening to me. It all started after the accident, Siana says I died, she says I've got to keep hidden, that no one can find me. I don't understand I want to talk to Ella and mum and dad, but I can't because Siana says family contact is forbidden and she seems to be the only person who knows what's going on. I will find out, even if it kills me…'
I frantically looked through the journal for further entries but it seems to have just stopped there. Something had happened to my sister, she might not be dead…
Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, what will happen next? Is her sister dead? Well my friends you'll just have to read on to find out, hopefully I will add another chapter in next 1-3 days amigos so if you are desperate to read more I advice you add this story to your alerts so that you know when more is coming.
