"It's over Bella! High school is finally over!" Jessica cheered.

"It sure is." I agreed getting up and walking towards the parking lot.

Jessica followed me. Erik was already with Mike and Angela.

"Hey you guys!" Angela greeted us.

"Hey Angela." I chuckled. Jessica was behind me twirling in circles and throwing ripped up pieces of paper above her head. She looked like a drunk person standing under some snow. I chuckled again at the sight.

"What's wrong with her?" Angela asked worried staring at Jessica.

"I don't think anything. I think she's just overly excited that high school is over." I informed her

"I hope it's temporary." Angela laughed.

"Don't mock my fun!" Jessica yelled at us.

After Jessica was done twirling under the papers she was throwing we walked to join Mike and Erik.

"So everyone has to go home and change, right?" Mike asked.

"Yes." I agreed. "I'll call Jacob then I'll call Angela to tell her whether or not he's going. If you don't get a call from either of us then he is." I informed.

"Okay." Erik said.

"Where are we going riding anyway?" Jessica asked curious.

"Well there are some places up and around La push. Jake could show us." I offered.

"Sounds good to me." Mike agreed.

"So I'll come by and pick everyone up when were all ready then." Mike informed.

"Yeah, can your truck haul a trailer?" Angela asked Mike.

"Yes." Mike said proudly.

"Okay. So Erik can you ride your quad over to my house? I have a double trailer we can use to haul our rides on and Mike can tow them over to the place we ride." Angela asked Erik.

"Yeah sure." He agreed.

"Alright, then, I'll come by your guises houses in 1 hour." Mike said before wrapping his arm around Jessica's waist and pulling her towards his car.

"See you later Bella." Erik said to me before heading to his own car.

"See you guys later." I agreed and headed for my truck.

I put my ipod back on and headed for home. I knew I couldn't tell Charlie what I was going to do in La push so I would just mention Jake's name. I pulled out my new cell and called Jake. After three rings he answered.

"This better not be another god damn fucking prank caller. I had enough of your shit. What the hell do you want?" An angry Jacob answered the phone. I was about to chew him back out but then remembered he didn't know it was me and I had a new number.

"Hey Jake, It's me, Bella. I got a new cell phone yesterday." I said chuckling. "Have you been having problems with prank callers lately?" I teased him.

"Oh, Sorry Bella! I didn't know it was you." He defended himself.

"I know you didn't otherwise I would have cussed you out back." I replied.

"Yeah you probably would have." He chuckled at the thought I imagined.

"Oh, Hey, do you want to go with me and some friends over near La push to go Four wheeling?" I asked him knowing he'd be more than thrilled.

"Hell yeah! I'll bring our bikes. When you guys coming over here?" He asked curious.

"In less than one hour." I informed him.

"Great! Call me when you get over. Thanks for inviting me Bella." He said.

"It's the least I could do; you invited me to one of your outings." I reminded him of the other night.

"Alright. I'll see you soon then. Bye." Jacob said before hanging up. By the time our conversation was over I was in my driveway. Perfect timing I thought to myself. I turned off the truck and walked inside and decided to get started on the spaghetti. It'll only take 20 min. I got everything ready and let the sauce simmer and the noodles boil so I went upstairs to change. I changed into an old pair of my jeans and a plain black cotton stretch shirt and took down my hair and brushed through it then put it back up into one of my famous sloppy ponytails. I sighed and reached for my cell to call Charlie.

"Hey Bells." He answered.

"Hey dad, Today was a half day for graduating seniors today and I wanted to go to La push with some friends and Jake and hangout. Can I?" I asked him.

"Sure. When you leaving?" He asked.

I looked at the clock. "In about 20 min." I said back into the phone.

"I'm cooking spaghetti right now and ill make you a plate and put it in the microwave for you for dinner." I informed him of his dinner preparations.

"I swear kid, what am I going to do without you." He joked.

I swallowed back the lump in my throat.

"You'll get by." I teased.

"Alright, go ahead. Just don't forget to walk across the floor at the school tomorrow and receive your diploma." He joked.

"Bye dad. Love you." I chuckled.

"Bye kid. Love you to." He said before hanging up. I waited for the dial tone.

I walked out of my room and downstairs to tend to the dinner. I drained the noodles and made a plate for Charlie and wrapped in a cling-wrap and made a small plate for myself and saved the left over. I ate quickly and washed the dinner plates and ran back upstairs to brush my teeth and grab and sweater. I put my ipod on the charging dock and shoved my old cell phone in my back pocket and put my new cell phone on my desk. I didn't want to lose it in the mud. Then I went down stairs to find a pair of sneakers. I called Angela and told her Jacob was coming and she said okay and everything. After everything was done and taken care of, I still had about 5 min. to spare so I plopped down on the sofa and turned the TV on. I had to keep busy from thinking of… Shit. I forgot about the tickets. I threw the remote back on the couch and race upstairs to my laptop. I was glad I bought it today. If I tried doing this with my old one, I wouldn't be going to Alaska tomorrow. I logged onto the computer and went to and searched for flights going to Alaska tomorrow. I found two of them, one in the morning and one in the evening. I needed the one in the evening. I booked the flight and saved the itinerary on a pen drive and ran to my dad's printer and printed it out. It said I was to arrive at the air port at 5pm and board the plane at 7pm and arrive in Alaska at 10pm. At that moment I was thankful that airports had upped their security because if my dad was aloud to go past checking in then there would be no way in hell I would be able to get away with this. There was no turning back now. I can't go to college anymore and I've already bought the ticket. I sighed in completement. Then I heard a horn followed by a knock at the door.

"Come in." I yelled from my dad's office.

"You ready?" Angela asked me coming inside.

"Yeah, I just have to go put this away real fast. One min." I said fleeting up the stairs and into my room.

"Ok, you don't have to run that fast Bella." She chuckled. I folded my itinerary and put it in my carry on for the plane and closed my bedroom door behind me.

"Alright, I'm ready." I panted to Angela while coming down the stairs to join her.

"This is going to be so much fun." She replied while we were walking out the door.

When we got outside we saw mikes truck towing a trailer with two quads and everyone in the truck hanging their heads out the windows. I chuckled at the sight. They looked like dogs going on a road trip.

"Come on you guys get in. Hurry up." Jessica called to us from the passenger seat.

"Don't get your panties in a bunch." Angela called to her.

Angela and I hopped in the back with Erik since Mike's truck didn't have backseats.

"You guys ready back there?" Mike asked us.

"As ready as we'll ever be." I said with a frown.

This ride was going to be pretty damn cold. Erik, Angela and me didn't really talk to each other on the ride to La push because we couldn't get one word out without hearing our teeth clatter.

"We're here." Mike announced.

We all got out of the truck and I decided it was time to call Jacob.

"Hold on, I'll call Jacob." I said reaching for my old cell.

"Bells." He answered.

"Hey Jacob. We're here at La push." I informed him.

"Alright, I'll be there in a few min." He said before hanging up.

I chuckled; he must be in a hurry to get her. I put the cell back in my pocket and went over to help everyone get the quads of the trailer.

"We'll have to store the trailer over there." Mike said pointing to an area with trees covering a space.

"Alright but don't forget where we are right now." Angela warned.

We finally got both the quads off and the trailer where we were going to store it.

"Hey, do you guys hear that?" Erik asked us. It sounded like someone was driving towards us.

"Yeah, it's just Jake." I said with a smile.

"Oh, ok. Good, I thought it was the police or something." Erik announced more relaxed.

"You're such a pussy." Mike teased Erik.

"Shut up man." Erik yelled back.

"Hey!" I heard Jacob say hoping out of his truck.

"Hey Jake." I welcomed him to our weird circle of friends.

"Hey man." Mike replied.

"Why didn't you tell me that he was so cute and built?" Jessica whispered in my ear.

"Because you have a boyfriend." I whispered back.

"Doesn't mean I can't be 'friends' with him." She sneered back.

"True." I replied walking away towards Jacob.

"Where's the bikes at?" I asked him.

"In the back. I'll go get them." He acknowledged me.

Once everyone had put gas in their toys, we began to go down some trails around La Push. Jake and I rode the dirt bikes while Angela and Erik rode their quads. Jessica rode with mike in the truck. After an hour Angela, Erik, Jake, and I switched up. I think riding the quad was much more fun that the dirt bike. It was probably because it had four wheels instead of just two. I fell of the bike only three times the whole time we were out there. I was pretty proud of myself. I did get to ride with Mike a few times and that was fun to.

We were all riding back on our own rides when Mike had stopped his truck in front of us.

"Hey, guys, I think it's time to go home, it's getting pretty dark outside, soon we wont be able to see the trails." Mike yelled back to us. I agreed and it was getting even colder.

"Yeah, lets head back to the trailer and get these things on it and head home." Angela said revving her quad.

Mike then got back in his truck and led the way back to where we stashed the Angela's trailer. As we went along the trails it grew darker and darker and I was starting to get a bit worried. Edward had always told me there was worse stuff than him in these woods. Then Mike turned on his bright lights and I felt a little better. At least we could see what was coming after us if anything did. After what seemed like hours, we reached the trailer and started hooking it back up to the truck.

"It was nice riding with you guys." Jake said to everyone.

"Yeah you to Jacob and maybe we can do this again in the future." Angela offered hopping in the back of Mike's truck.

"Yeah." Jessica agreed with Angela.

I helped Jake put the bikes back in his truck while Mike went around to his wheels to undo the manual 4-wheel.

"Thanks again Bella for inviting me." He said to me while closing his tailgate.

"No problem Jake. Oh hey do you think you could come to my graduation tomorrow? After I graduate we can get a quick bite." I offered.

"I wouldn't miss it." He promised and stood by his door. "When do you leave tomorrow for the airport?" He asked curious.

"I have to be there at 5pm and I board at 7pm." I informed him.

"I'm going to miss you Bella." He said to me in my ear while hugging me in another one of those bear hugs. I gasped.

"Can't…Breathe…" I gasped for air.

"Oh sorry." He apologized setting me back down on my feet.

"It's okay." I said squeezing his arm before he jumped in his truck.

"I'll see you tomorrow then." He said to me before turning on his truck.

"Bye Jake." I yelled to him while he backed up and headed back to his house.

"Come on Bella we have to get home to." Erik yelled from the back of Mike's truck. I chuckled and ran over to the truck and hopped in. It was really dark by the time we left La push and Erik, Angela, and I could barely see anything from where we sat. Soon we reached Erik's house and then Jessica's and then mine.

"Thanks for the ride Mike." I yelled while hopping out of the back. I saw Angela shivering while getting out to and heading for the passenger seat with Mike. I laughed.

"No problem Bella." He said to me.

"I had a great time." I informed them.

"Me to." They both agreed.

"See you at graduation." I said to them before running up to my house.
