"Isadora, why don't you go to the beach for a little while. You have been in this house for the last week. You start school on Monday baby girl. You need to get out of this house." Nana said as she turned the mail over in her hands. I was incredably bored. I could use some fresh air. It couldn't hurt. It wasn't raining for once I guess I should take advantage of that and go to First Beach.

I huffed and got up from the table and made my way to my room. I pulled on my tennis shoes and pulled on my blue University of Kentucky hoddie. I pulled my hair up in a high pony and looked in the mirror. I looked decent I guess. I had my mothers dark black hair and my fathers bright blue eyes. Odd I know. I was tall and slender. I had a few curves, but I wasn't really curvy. I thought I was average but when are we ever right about how we look. I giggled at my own stupidity. I walked back down the stairs and found my Nana looking at me with a knowing smile.

"I'm going to the beach now." I said with a smile for her in return.

"Good, be back before diner. You got your phone with you?"

"Yes Nana, I do. If you need me call me."

"OK, now walk straight there ok. You go to the end of the road and make a left then its straight on till you hit the parking lot."

"K. Thanks Nana, I love you. See you later."

"Love you too. Be careful."

"Kay." I shouted over my shoulder as I shut the front door behind me.

I could find my way to the beach no problem. That seemed to be where everyone was coming from. I don't think I seen one person walking in the direction I was. I thought for a minute that I was going the wrong way. I then realized it was lunch time, so they were all going to find some food. Good, less people to look at me. Less to wonder where the hell did the pale girl come from. Yes I was part Quileute but I sure as hell didn't look it. I got more of my fathers skin tone. So yes I looked like I hadn't seen the sun in a few years. That wasn't gonna change here either. I wasn't really cold and it wasn't raining but that didn't mean the sun was out in full force like I was used to seeing in Kentucky.

I walked through the dirt lot where only a handfull of cars were parked and then I made it to the pebbled beach. I hadn't seen the ocean in years. My family took at trip to Florida when I was 10. That was the last time I seen my grandparents before I was forced to move in with them. In the week I had been here, I had been the happiest I have been in a long time. I owed that to my Nana and Poppa. They paid attention to me, they asked me questions. They showed they love me. I was glad to be here.

The sad part about all of this was, I didn't miss my parents at all. That thought killed me. Shouldn't I miss them. Then I thought about it as I sat down on one of the drift wood logs. What was there to miss? Constant fighting, and no attention. It wasn't like I needed a lot of attention, because I don't.

I just wanted to have talks with my mother, tell her about my day, have her comfort me when I cry. I wanted to watch football with my father and laugh at his stupid jokes. I didn't get any of these things. Mathew cooked dinner for me more times than my mother has. Mathew has been the only one always there for me besides my grandparents. I had made a point to talk to my grandparents as much as possible.

My parents didn't care about me now. Have they ever? I didn't have the answer to that question. I didn't think I ever would. I fixed my eyes on the waves and let a silent tear roll down my cheek before I got rid of it with the back of my hand. Just then I felt something hit the side of my leg. I looked down and there by my foot was a football. I smiled, I love football.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hit you with the ball." Came a deep husky voice. Oh my... My mind went blank. I looked up and made contact with the most beautiful brown eyes.

They reminded me of dark melted chocolate. I finally focused on the rest of him. He was tall and I could tell that even though I was sitting down, I probably wouldn't even reach his shoulder. He had short black hair, which he styled so it looked as though it was sticking up in every direction but it was cute. He had a strong jaw line and his mouth was open slightly. As though he had just seen something that made his day. I focused all my energy to give him a reply.

"It's fine. No harm, no foul." I said as I stood up. Yep, I was right I was barely taller than his shoulder.

"I'm Collin. Collin Epps." He said as he held out his hand. I took it and shook it. His hand was hot, but not uncomfortable.

"I'm Izzy. Umm, Isadora." I said as I let go of his hand.

"Isadora." He whispered. I like the sound of my name on his lips. I shouldn't because I don't know him, but I do anyway. "Where you from Isadora?" He asked.

"Call me Izzy. Well my mothers' from here. I lived in Kentucky my whole life. I decided to move in with my grandparents for the rest of the year."

"So your going to be going to the school here on the rez?"

"Yeah. I'm half Quileute after all." I replied with a laugh.

"Can't tell." Collin stated and it made me laugh freely. It felt good, weightless to laugh. Collin smile and I swear my heart skipped a beat. He was beautiful. There was no other way to describe him.

"Thanks. I'll only get looked at more on monday." I mummbled through my laughter.

"Don't worry. I'll show you around. They wont stare long if your hanging out with me." Collin stated as his eyes narrowed the tiniest bit.

"I guess it couldn't hurt. I don't know any people my age around here." I said and Collin smiled tenderly at me. I'm in way over my head with this guy.

"How old are you?"

"17 and you?"

"Same. You a junior too?"

"Yep." I said popping the p at the end.

"Cool." He said.

"I guess."

"So, what are you doing the rest of the day?"

"Nothing really. I have to be back home in a little bit. I promised to help cook dinner tonight." I said with a laugh. Collin looked disappointed for a second before he thought of something.

"Tomorrow is saturday. Do you wanna meet here and maybe hangout?" Collin asked.

"Like friends?" I asked in a hopeful voice. I needed friends here and Collin seemed really nice.

"Yeah like friends." He replied. It sounded like he whispered something after that, it sounded like for now. I just figured that was my imagination so I shrugged it off.

"Perfect. What time do you wanna meet here?" I asked.

"How's 2 for you?"

"2 is perfect."

"Perfect."

"Well I'll see you then. I gotta go."

"See you tomorrow, Izzy."

"Yeah. Bye Collin."

"Izzy."

"Yeah?"

"What's your last name?"

"Andrews. Isadora Andrews."

"It's beautiful. Like you."

"Thanks." I said and then I turned on my heals and walked back home. I knew I looked stupid with a big grin on my face. By the time I got home, my face hurt I smiled so much.

I walked into the kitchen where I could hear Nana. She turned when she noticed me walk in. She looked at me for a minute and then she smiled. She motioned for me to sit down and I did. She followed me and did the same. I didn't know what she wanted but who could blame her for wanting to talk to me. I had randomly came home with a huge smile on my face.

"How was the beach?" She asked.

"Good."

"That's it good?"

"I made a friend."

"Does said friend have a name?" She asked and I knew my face was a thousand shades of red. I could feel the heat burning in my face. But I had longed for talks like this with my mother so I was honest with Nana.

"His name is Collin Epps."

"I know him. He's a good boy. You did good, Isadora."

"Thanks Nana."

"Did you talk to him?"

"Well yeah. He called me beautiful before I left." I said with a girly squeal. Nana laughed but smiled lovingly at me.

"Ok so how about we start dinner now. Poppa should be home from watching the game anytime."

"Sounds good."

I wanted to sing and shout. I was so happy here. I'm finally really happy. It's a welcome change.


I know this chapter is short also. This chapter was mainly a filler. The next chapter will be about Collin and Izzy getting to know each other better. She's going to open up to him about somethings lol. I really hope you are enjoying the story. Please Review.
