I'm sorry it took so long for my to update this story. And I'm not gonna lie, I think you guys might be let a down a bit with this chapter. On the bright side it has multiple POVs. Anyways, thank you for reviewing the story and favoriting it.
Disclaimer: I only own Charlie, and those extra characters you know nothing about. Stephanie Meyers owns the rest.
I walked down the hall to the library. The school slipped up and gave me a free period. It'd give me the chance to catch up on other things like reading. When I got to the library I was instantly saddened by how small it was. It did at least have computer, they were crappy, but computers none the less. The walls were a blinding white that came off as blue, while the carpet was a strange shade of purple with speckles of blue. I walked to the plump woman who sat at a tiny wooden desk. Papers were in neat little piles while a plaque with her name sat at the front. The woman looked up to me with a smile that revealed a lipstick stain on her teeth. "Hello, how can I help you, sweetie?" She asked.
"I have a free period and was wondering if I could spend it in here" I said then looked around. It was virtually empty, there were plenty of places I could go. She seemed to think then nodded slowly.
"Certainly, just sign in right here" said then lightly pushed a clipboard forward. I picked up the pen that hung from it and signed my name under 'Dearth Vader'. Kids these days were getting more and more creative. I put it back down to her table and glanced at the magazine she read. It had a bold lining that said "How to loose 30 pounds in 30 days" I kept my snicker to myself and left to look around for books to read. I walked down the aisles to a large leathery book that lay on a cart caught my eye. I picked it up and turned it over in my hands. It's title was Quillete Legends and had different colored weaving that lead from the front to the back.
"Interesting enough" I said then wandered back over to to check the book out. She finished checking out for me quickly then let me on my way. I found residence at a metal table in the back and cracked open the book. The table of contents had sections like Big Foot, the Hairy Woman, The Monster of the Ocean, The Wild Wereboar, Snow Beast, River Monsters and Vampires. I was immediately bored with the book and was about to close it when Werewolves caught my eye. I went straight to the book page and read through the section. It was interesting and told tales of love and self sacrifice. I was just getting to the end of one of the sections when I was interrupted by someone sitting with me. I looked up and saw she had straight black hair and dark brown eyes. I'd seen her before with the LaPush guys. She was dating Jared Martin. They were very lovey dovey and made me want to puke whenever they stared into each other's eyes and said mushy love things to each other. Could you imagine having a class with the two of them? I was glad I didn't.
"Hi. I'm Kim Purser" She introduced with a large toothy smile. I nodded then looked back to my book. I had to finish. She sat there staring at me for my introduction, I gave it to her curtly, hoping she'd get the message then looked back to my book. She didn't seem to understand. "I know who you are. You just moved here, right? From New York?" I looked up to her with disbelief. News sure did get around fast.
"Yes. I lived here before though, when I was younger" I said with a fake smile. She nodded and peered over at my book.
"Werewolves, huh? What do you think about them? Do you like them? I do. They're interesting" She poured out and wouldn't stop talking. "I think they're the bravest of all the creatures in that book. They're definitely the most compassionate"
"Look, that's interesting but I have to look this stuff up for my mom. She wants me and my sister to get in touch with out heritage so...you're kind of distracting me" I lied then began to concentrate on the book. I personally know I'm a wonderful liar, maybe she saw through it or didn't give a rat's ass but she kept going.
"I know someone who can help, Jacob Black. He knows a lot about Quillete legends, he gets it from his dad. Speaking of Jacob, what do you think about him?" There was what she was after. Jacob probably sent her to interrogate me. I glared at her then closed the book quickly.
"Thanks for your help, but I don't need help. As for what I think about him, tell Jacob that I'd like it if he left me alone. I'm not his biggest fan and I don't plan on being it. Goodbye" I said then got up from the table and left the library. I needed to leave. She was suffocating me and I needed air. When I got outside I took a deep then stopped when my eyes landed on a shirtless guy. Paul Simmons. "Look what the cat dragged in" I said underneath my breath.
"Charlie Torrez. I didn't want to believe it but here you are, back in LaPush. You look good" He complimented. It was obvious that the years had been good to him too. They granted him amazing muscles and a to die for face, but I wouldn't tell him that. The years had also inflated his already too big ego. I grabbed the strap on my book bag, clutched it tighter then attempted to speed walk past him. Don't look at him, I thought. Maybe he'll leave. It didn't work, he instead began to circle me. Like a hunter circling it's prey.
"Paul Simmons," I countered. I had found some type of confidence. I wasn't the same little girl he threw rocks at, I was a big girl now. "I wish I could say the same to you. You're at a high school picking up kids shirtless now?" I asked as my grin started to grow. He snickered and came to a stop in front of me.
"Finally grew some back bone, huh?" He asked then crossed his arms.
"Look, if you're here to harass me, I've got pepper spray. I'm not afraid to use it" I warned. It was a lie but I was hoping he wouldn't see right through it. I got side tracked staring at his abs when he started talking again. He'd be so much better if he didn't talk.
"I'm over that phase, it was immature" Paul started. "And Jacob would kill me if I tried anything. Just wanted to say hey and welcome back" He finished then walked back to the ugly truck behind him that was sputtering black smoke. He had an amazing back with the cutest butt, I bit my lip from letting out a giggle. He was obviously on roids but they seemed to be helping. Someone whose skin just about burned me, walked by and followed Paul to the truck. It was Collin Scott. He was supposed to be younger than me but was huge, like a monster. They drove off and were almost out of sight until something Paul said settled on me.
"What the hell does 'Jake would kill you' mean?" I shouted to him. One of them let out a howl of laughter and they sped off. It was a wonderful question that I'd never get the answer to.
Mika's POV
I sat at my seat close to the back of the class and read the notes that peoples past have written.
'School sucks!'
'^^Very Original'
'^Your all idiots'
'^*you're. Use the right word, dumbass'
I chuckled to myself and wished I had something to write with so i could mark this old wooden desk."Is something funny?"I looked up to see the far away face of the old bitty named , my teacher. I faked a grin and shooed her forward with my hand.
"No, go on with your algebraic equations"I shooed then looked back down to the written on slab of wood. It was way more interesting than this class. Snickers went out around the class and raised an eyebrow.
"This is English, not Algebra. I'd suggest you pay attention if you want to know about my class this school year"She reprimanded, I looked up to her annoyed and winked.
"Gotcha"I answered to the old gray haired teacher. She cast me glares from under her large blue ringed glasses. She had pasty skin with wrinkles that popped up everywhere. She had a mole on her neck that I swear had two hairs sticking out of it. She grossed me out. I preferred the desk to looking at her.
"As I was saying" She went on. I drowned her out by drumming my fingers on the desk in an annoyed fashion. A thump on the back of the chair made me jerk forward in my seat, some one laughed behind me. I turned to glare at the asshole behind me only to come face to face with none other than the muscly guy from lunch. The one who took Charlie's cigarette.
"It's only you. What do you want?" I asked in a hushed voice. He looked around to see if anyone would listen then went on talking.
"I need you to stay away from Charlie" the boy said casually. He seemed entirely serious despite the fact he sounded like he was joking. I looked at him confused and he sighed. "Charlie Torrez. The girl you were trying to poison earlier. Stay away from her"
"No" I said quickly then turned back around. That's when he started. His feet began kicking the back of the chair. It sent me flying forward in the seat forward each time. Finally the bell rang and I rushed to the door and stood by it in the hall. When he walked out I walked by his side and threatened him. "If you ever pull that shit again I'll rip your balls off" I then dodged my way down the hall to my next class. As I walked down the hall I thought about that kid. I planned on finding out his name and making the rest of his life a living hell. In my anger, I almost knocked some thin kid over. He grabbed me so I wouldn't fall, it was sweet but kinda creepy. I do't usually like people to grab me but he was helping so it was fine. When I looked up to see who the creeper was I came face to face with the cute guy from lunch who was flirting with me.
"Hello beautiful. I see you've found your way out of my dreams and into my arms" He said, I smiled and stood myself up. "I never did catch your name "The pale guy said then stashed his hands in his pockets with a grin.
"Mika. Mika Longwalker"I answered, he nodded then proceeded to tell me his name.
"I'm Adam Cisneros"Adam said then blew a patch of dark hair out of his eyes. It didn't listen and fell back to his pale face.
"Well, I've gotta go. Catch you later?"I asked as I began to walk away. He nodded, winked then turned and left the opposite way down the hall. I planned on seeing Adam Cisneros very soon, hopefully before this weekend. As I walked to my next class I heard someone whistle at me. I turned to find a tall very attractive guy with long wavy hair and pretty light brown eyes. I bumped out my chest and took a few steps towards him with my lips pursed and head held high.
"And what might be your name beautiful?" The tall boy asked. Adam was gone from my mind and replaced with this tall, dark and handsome young man.
"Depends, who's asking?" I retorted. He nodded and bit his lip. He was obviously skilled in the filed of wooing girls.
"Okay. Dylan Woods" He answered with confidence in his voice. Dylan crossed his long tan arms with a grin
"Hmm." I thought to myself as I looked him up and down. "Interesting. Mika Longwalker" I said then held my hand out for him to shake. He examined it then engulfed it into his tanned grasp. The bell ran loudly and we found ourselves to be the only people in the hall.
"Care to skip?" Dylan asked bowing. I chuckled at his manners and walked towards the door. He must've looked up to see I was walking away and called to me. "I'll take that as a no?" He shouted, I sighed and gestured outside.
"You coming?" He smiled and ran to me before administration came to see the cause of the noise. By the time the day was over, Dylan was up a tree and I was laying awkwardly on a bench with a cigarette hanging from my lips.
"So, wanna go on a date?" Dylan asked from the tree. He was obviously high, from his drawl. This school had horrible school administrators, no one came to look for us.
"No" I answered casually and watched as the smoke pooled from my mouth. "Are you gonna come down anytime soon?"
Sam's POV
When the end of the day came, I found myself sitting on a bench outside. I was waiting for Adam. Finally Adam walked outside with a grin on his face, I rolled my eyes and wondered what the boy couldve gotten himself into."What did you do now?"I asked as I stood up and pulled my black bookbag on my shoulder. It was heavy from the new books I was given today. I hated school. Adam only bit his lip then shook his head.
"I like this girl, and I'm pretty sure she likes me back" He announced smugly then nodded over to his mom's silvery blue van. I followed him and poked at his back for answers. Who was this girl? We piled into his mother's minivan and his mother gave both of us warm smiles.
"Hey kids. Did you have a nice day?" She asked in the light voice of hers. Her light blue eyes wandered to me.
"I did, how about you?" I questioned. She let out a shrug then pulled away from the curb of the school. A careful sigh was let out before she went on.
"It was interesting. I cleaned Adam's room-"
"Mom!" Adam shouted from the front seat. I grinned and pulled the black nit cap off of his head. He turned back and stuck out his tongue, his mom let out a tired laugh and shook her head. Light brown hair shook with her.
"You two crazy kids. Sam sweetie, how's your mom?" She asked trying to make conversation. I looked out of the window and searched for the right words to say.
"She's...okay" I said quickly. Her eyes bore holes into me from the rear view mirror. The conversation was dropped.
"Hey mom, can Sam come over?"Adam asked then started giving her a puppy dog face. I snickered and watched as he petted at her arm and whimpered. Adam had a way to get to his mother. He was her pride and joy and just about anything he wanted, he got.
"Well it's up to Sam" His mom said as she looked up to me in the mirror. Her eyes seemed pleading, seeing as how she liked it when I was with Adam. She thought I was a good influence. Boy did she have it wrong.
"No, it's fine. I've gotta go with my mom to some debutant meeting"I groaned.
"Awee, in her frilly dress dancing around like she's the best. Unst. Unst. Unst. Unst. with her glass slipper', she'll run away and then I'll miss her" Adam sang. I shoved his seat and he fell forward laughing heartily. I couldn't stop myself from laughing at the crummy song; it was the same one he'd been singing for 6 years whenever I had to do something prissy. Adam turned around and grabbed for my head, he rubbed his knuckles on my head harshly. I shoved him away and grabbed his ear tightly"Ow. Ow. Ow. Mommy make her let go!" Adam shouted. I let go before she could even look over at me. She was like a better second mother, she had no problem and disciplining me.
"No fighting you two. Especially when I'm driving. And you have to go to the doctors this afternoon anyways, Adam. I forgot about it" The older woman said as she ran her hand through her curly light brown hair. Adam's mom was a classic beauty. She had a sharp pointed chin with high cheeks bones, her lips were thin but she made up for it with a pixie nose. Her eyes were blue and she had long dark eyes lashes. A small mole lay just below her eyebrow that made her look exotic. I wished she was my mom.
"Well, can she go with us?" Adam asked with a pout. His mom gave him a look and he stopped immediately.
"You heard her. She has to go with her mom to a debutant meeting" She answered with a sad smile. Adam look back at me and mouth 'sorry'. When we finally got to my house I got out slowly, dreading the fact of seeing my mother sit at the kitchen table with a raised eyebrow at me. She did it everyday.
"Text me babes"Adam shouted to me as I made my way to the front door. I looked over my shoulder and gave a slight nod; Adam's mom gave an exaggerated wave making me snicker. I pulled my keys from my pocket and opened the front door. As soon as it swung all the way open I saw my mother standing in the living room with a stern face. I rolled my eyes and regretted not going to Adam's house.
"Where were you Samantha Renee Point?" My mother screeched as I slammed the door behind myself and walked past her to the kitchen.
"School" I answered with a sarcastic tone. I went to the fridge and opened it, then reached for the orange juice carton. I could hear her heels clicking on the linoleum floors.
"School ended almost 20 minutes ago" She snapped sternly. I shrugged and open the carton and downed about a cup full in a few seconds."Ugh! Samantha, that is so barbaric" My mother groaned. I removed the box of liquid awesome from my face and capped it, then shoved it in the fridge.
"Mom, calm down" I griped as I walked up to my room. When I walked to my door and stepped into my red tinted room and saw a hideous 'dress' lounging on my bed."What the hell?" I voiced to myself as I poked at the fabric.
"Get dressed, and quickly young lady" She demanded from downstairs. The heinous creation was a mixture of reds, oranges and yellows.
"Why?" I shouted then threw the frock on the floor.
"Because you're not wearing that to the meeting" Shehuffed. I began to silently stomp on the gown while my mother continued talking."I always have another yellow dress with frills to the top you can wear" She countered. Before she could say anything else I was dressed in the ugly drape. The next hour she spent on my hair and makeup. Which was strange because she kept complaining about us being late. Finally we got in her tiny car and were off to Port Angeles. After hunting down a tall glass building, we found ourselves swimming in a sea of nose-burning perfume. My mom didn't mind the smell and probably enjoyed it, surprisingly enough it matched her own. Go figure. I ended up being squished between my mom and a huge lady wearing a light blue dress.
"Ladies, it's time to talk about the Coming Out Ball" A thin woman announced. Claps were let out across the room. This was going to be a long meeting.
Adam's POV
I sat in the front seat of my moms car listening to folk music quietly. My mom looked over to me and turned off the radio with a confident smile. "How was your day?" She inquired then patted my knee affectionately. I shrugged and rambled an 'okay' as the sky got darker. It was gonna rain again.
"That's good. Anything special happen?" She pushed. I shrugged and rolled down the window while drops drizzled down from the darkened sky. "Talk to me, Adam. I feel like we never get to talk" She said sadly then looked over to me briefly. I sighed and saw that she was pouting. I hated it when she did that, it made me feel bad.
"I'm fine. Today was amazing. I met a girl. Met my teachers-"
"Wait!" She cut me off. She swerved the car to the side of the road and pulled to a stop.
"Mom! we're in the middle of the fucking road!" I scolded; I could feel my heart beating faster despite the fact we were out of harms way.
"Did you just curse? Oh that doesn't matter, you met a girl. Is she nice? What does she look like? Oh I bet she's pretty. She better be pretty. When am I going to meet her? Oh Adam, you've got to let me met her" My mom ranted. She began to jump and down in her seat, I whined and stomped my foot.
"Mom, this is why I didn't want to tell you" I griped then turned my attention to the rain outside.
"Oh...I'm sorry, sweetie. I'll stop it's just, I'm glad you like a girl" She comforted then reached a slender hand over and pulled my black nit cap off of my head.
"Mom! I like girls. I'm not gay, okay? I just don't tell you who I like" I answered simply then rolled up the window as the rain started falling down in buckets.
"Well, you never had an interest in Sam I just implied you...liked boys. Now that's okay! I just though that-"
"Wait" I stopped her as I peered my dark eyes out of the rain streaked window. My mom slowed the car down and I saw a girl climb out of her tiny Camry then slosh her way to the front of the car. She looked at my car strangely and I noticed the face.
"Charlie?" I questioned. My mom pulled the car over to the side of the road and started talking to herself.
"Charlie? That doesn't look like a Charlie. More like a ...Serena or...something" I looked at her strangely then opened the door and ran out to Charlie. On the way I pulled up my hood and frowned when I saw what she was wearing. It was a flimsy sun dress that was obviously covering a bathing suit. Her hair was sticking to her skin and she seemed sad.
"Need a ride?" I asked, She popped up and turned to see me.
"Shit, Adam it's just you" She shouted then hugged me tightly. I laughed as she pulled away and I saw her mascara running. She looked like a sad panda bear. I patted her head and she rolled her eyes. "Do you know how to fix cars?" She shouted over the pelting of the rain on her car. I looked in through the window and saw a woman who looked like an older version of her, I smiled and waved at her.
"That your mom, right?" I questioned, she nodded and asked if I knew how to fix cars again. I shook my head no.
"Does your friend need some help?" My mom shouted from the van. I turned back to her and nodded.
"I'll get my mom and Lily" She informed then went to the front door of the car and talked to the lady in the front seat. They all got out and I as astounded at how much they all looked alike. "Come on" Charlie told the other two who hurriedly followed her into my moms van. My mom opened the door for them as they piled in, I took my seat back in the front.
"Hi, I'm Adam's mom. My name's Donna-Joe. You can call me Donna. Wait...we met you before. We came over to welcome you all to LaPush" My mother said with a nice smile. Charlie's mom, who was soaking wet, smiled and shook my moms out stretched hand.
"Yes, that's us."
"Nice to meet you, again" My mom said with a chuckle then turned back around in her seat and turned the car back on. The little girl who was shivering on Amelia's lap smiled at me.
"What happened?" I asked, still looking back at the small family.
"Car broke down. Our first day of school trip failed. I know it's a lot but can you drive us back home?" Charlie asked, her mom gave her a look then turned back to me.
"No, it's not a big deal. Right mom?" I pondered then gave her the puppy dog face. The little girl giggled and snuggled into her moms arms.
"No problem, anything for a friend of Adam's" My mom said then drove towards their house. The ride was pretty much quiet except for Charlie's little sister, I'm guessing, who kept humming. I looked back at her in the rear-view mirror and made a fishface. She laughed and made one back. I always wanted a little sister. Especially one so adorable. After Amelia gave my mom some directions we got to their small little house. I surveyed it while the owners got out and ran to the porch. Charlie stayed at my window and patted my hand.
"Thanks, Adam. You basically saved us a walk home. It was nice meeting you . Text me, Adam" Charlie said then waved and ran up to the house. When they were all together they waved us goodbye as we drove off.
"Well, that Charlie sure is a looker. They all are. Is that the girl? And that can't be the Charlie you've been talking about" My mom spouted off. I sighed. That woman never stopped talking.
"One: yeah, she's hot; I know. Two: that's not the girl. Used to be, not anymore. And yes mother, that's the Charlie I was talking about. Were you expecting a boy? Don't you remember meeting her?" I wondered back. My mom chuckled nervously.
"Well, when you said you though Charlie was 'hot' I just-"
"But you said you thought Charlie was a boy..." My mom didn't answer, just looked at me from the corner of her eye. I sighed and sunk into my seat.
"Mom, I like girls." I said as-a-matter-of-factly. When we got to the house, my mom said she was going to make dinner and told me to go have fun. I went to my room and put in my old Panic!At The Disco album and waited for the clanging of the pans. When I didn't hear anything coming from the kitchen I left my room and creeped down the hall to my mom's room; when I got there I saw her sitting on her bed and holding a picture to her chest.
"He's growing up, Joshua. And it's getting harder because he's becoming more and more of a man everyday. I just wish you could see him. He needs his dad, not his father." I looked at her confusingly the went back to my room and thought about what she meant. I know my dad died but, the father thing just confused the hell out of me. I blocked that out of my mind and turned up the music louder. It would be able to wash my mind of my dad being gone. It's exactly what I need right now.
