Chapter 3

Seth: "I now pronounce you husband and wife!" exclaimed the preacher proudly. Charlie took my mom's hand and kissed her.
EW.
People over thirty really should not make out in public.
At all.
Applause broke out. Music broke out from the keyboard to my left.
I clapped Charlie on the back. I walked away from all the celebrating people, to the food table.
I looked all around. Jake was with Nessie, of course. Edward and Bella were congratulating Charlie. Leah was walking on the beach with her boyfriend, Kyle. Jared and Kim were making out in the woods. Gross.
Rachel and Paul were dancing near Charlie and mom.
Embry was with all the other boys who haven't imprinted yet.
Except me.
Wait, I'm leaving out someone. Oh yeah, Quil. I scanned the area for him, and found him gesturing to a young girl, that looked as if she just became a teenager. He looked as if he was trying to convince her to dance with him.
She shook her head, her dark brown hair sashaying across her back.
His sister, I guessed. I focused on her more closely.
My heart stopped.
She had lush, full lips. Her skin was tan. Almost a russet brown, but not quite. Her dark blue eyes were resigned and intelligent.
She was perfect.
She was the center of the world.

CHAPTER 3

Skye: I wasn't watching the wedding at all. All there was to look at was a pale man with dark, curly, hair and a woman with extremely tan skin and long, black hair. But I wasn't even looking at the wedding. I was looking at the extremely pale family sitting in the last two rows across from me. They were beautiful in a kind of scary way. Like they were zombies, or something. The preacher said something and everyone was standing up and cheering. I just melted away from the crowd, near the flowery altar. Music started from the piano. A pale, red-haired boy was playing it. People started dancing, and going different places.
Everyone here looked the same.
I figure I better start learning people's names. I was starting school Monday.
"Hey, Quil!" He turned away from the newlyweds, and said, "Yes, madam?".
"Um, what are all these people names?" I said, gesturing towards the celebrators.
"All the pale people are Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, Alice, Edward, Bella, and Renesmee Cullen".
"Hmm......big family?"
He chuckled and said, ''Long story. Anyways, the older boys are Jared, Paul, Embry, Jake, Collin, Brady, Seth, and Sam. And the husband and wife are Charlie and Sue Swan, and Bella Cullen is Charlie's daughter, and Seth and Leah Clearwater are Sue's." He took a deep breath.
"Don't try to remember them all. You can't". He bowed with his hand outstretched. "Would you like to dance, madam?" I just smiled shyly and shook my head.
I looked around again. I stopped at the boy near the snack table. He was staring back at me. When our eyes met, he seemed to make a decision. He walked towards me, with a big smile across his face.
"Hiya, I'm Seth Clearwater", he said holding his large hand out.
I took a deep breath. "Skye Ateara", I replied.
"Sorry, for just coming up just like that, but you were all alone."
That was the worst excuse I've ever heard for trying to flirt with a girl, but he seemed genuinely nice. Plus, he was very good-looking.
"Yea, I'm not sure what to do, except just stand in the back."
"Yep, I hear ya".
"So, when are you staring school?" he asked casually.
"Monday". I said indifferently. Duh. No, I'm going to start school in the middle of the week. Right.
"What grade are you in?"
''Eighth.''
He seemed to get the picture that I wanted to be left alone. "Oh alright, then. See you at school". His smile was gone, and he seemed confused about something. It seemed like he wanted to ask me something.
"What?''
"Nothing....just, you're different."
"Thanks?".
"I just mean you're not like other girls."
"What? Like, I'm not batting my eyelashes and trying to cause as much drama as possible?''.
"Yeah, something like that.''
He retreated with a smirk across his face.
That was weird.
