"Surprised Dinner"
What I thought was going to be a small get together, turned out be a huge get together. Not only was Emily, Sam, and Billy there but Billy
son Jacob was their. Along with Jared, Kim, Quil, Embry, Leah, Seth, and of course Paul. Somebody up there really hates me.
While my uncle said hi to everybody, I was wondering if I bolted out the door if anybody would notice. Just before I could make a decision
Paul walk up to me with that cockily smile on his face.
"Hello, I guess I'm getting that dinner after all, I mean I would preferred it being just you and me but I'll take want I can get," he said full on
himself. Before I could tell him to shove it and get out of my face, my uncle came over and said, "Oh good I see you too have already met." Leave it to my uncle not to realize what was really going on.
"Laura and I are in the same art class," Paul said.
"Is that right?, Laura didn't mention that," my uncle replied looking at me surprised.
"I didn't think it was worth mentioning," I said with a look of disgusted on my face.
Both of them looked at me in shock. Paul looked like someone had slapped him in the face. My uncle didn't know what to say to my
rudeness, he didn't know if he should say something and start a scene or just pretend that it didn't happen. He decided to go with the latter
and said, "well we should sit and eat dinner before it gets cold, he looked over at me with a stern look on his face. I knew I was going to
hear it on the way home but I really didn't care. I wasn't going to be nice to a ass like him even if he was pretty hot.
Dinner was not like dinner with my uncle that was for sure. While dinner with my uncle is normally quiet, here was like having dinner at the
zoo. I have never seen anybody attack food the way these boys do and there was a lot of food, it looked like it could feed a pack of wolfs. It
was like they haven't eaten in years. Everybody was talking all at once. Sam and Emily were in their own little world, while Leah looked at
them with hatred in her eyes, I wonder what that was all about. My uncle and Billy were talking about their next fishing trip. Seth, Embry,
and Quil were laughing at what Jacob had said about Jared, while Kim just shook her head. And Jared look like he was ready to attack
Jacob. So Embry and Quil decide to bet on who would win if a fight broke out. I was kind of hoping a fight would break out so I could get as
far away from here as possible. But from the look that Sam was sending their way I didn't think that was going to happen. Paul had been
quiet for most of the dinner and barely ate, but kept staring at me with that creepy look in his eyes. Things started to settle down after
everybody finish eating when Paul said, "so Laura were having this barn fire next weekend and was wondering if you would like to come."
Before I could say no my uncle jump in and said, "of course Laura would love to, it would give her a chance to get to know everybody better
and hear about the legends, he said happily knowing that it was the last thing I was loving to do.
I don't know why but in that moment I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and stormed right out the door. It was raining, but when wasn't it
raining. I didn't want to be here anymore with the new school, the therapist, and lets not forget the jerk Paul. I felt like everything was
spinning out of control and I couldn't do anything about it. I heard foot steps coming my way and figured it was my uncle ready to let me
have it for running out the way I did, but of course it had to be the one person I didn't want to see.
"Hey you alright," Paul said hesitantly.
"As if you would care," I said angrily.
"I can't take it anymore, can you just tell me what I did wrong so I can explain myself," he said anxiously.
"You really think I didn't see what you did to Allison in class, come on, you think I'm going to fall for your little game? You go from break up with her in front of the class than turn around and start flirting with me as if it didn't happened. I'm not some stupid girl you can use than throw out when your done," I said losing by temper.
"That's what this is about, I would never do that to you. What you saw with Allison it was nothing it was all a misunderstanding," he said final realizing why I was so angry.
"It was nothing it looked like something to me," I said. He was about to say something else but I didn't give him the chance I took off running with Paul calling for me to come back.
I didn't know how long I had been running but it started raining harder and it was getting cold. And the worst part was that I was lost. Just then I hear a twig snap thinking that it was Paul I said, "Paul I know that's you, just come out already." Sure enough it was.
"I follow you, I was afraid that you would get lost," he said sadly.
"Look about back their," he started to say before I cut him off, "can we just go back I want to go home.
"Okay," he said. I had to hand it to Paul, he always seemed to know when to let things go and leave me be. Nobody else knew when to do that and it would only make me shut them out even more. My own mother didn't even know when to let me be. He looked so sad as we were walking back, that I went against my better judgment and felt a little guilty for making him feel that way. My uncle was waiting by the car when we got back. We said are goodbyes to everybody and got in to the car without saying a word to each other.
The car ride home was quiet. I kept looking over at my uncle waiting for him to blow up about what had happen at dinner, but he didn't say
anything. When we got home I hanged up my coat and was heading to my room thinking that I was off the hook when my uncle said, "Wait
Laura before you go to your room I need to talk to you. I know it hard moving to a new place when you've lived in one place your whole life,
but can you just give this place and people a shot, for me. You never know this could be good for you, a fresh start."
"Okay, I sighed knowing that my uncle just wants the best for me. I started to make my way up the stairs when my uncle said, "I worry about you. You use to be so alive and happy, now it seems like your not really here anymore, like your empty."
"I've been through a lot," I said looking down at my shoes.
"I know and I wish everyday that you didn't," he said sadly like it was his fault that I was like this.
"I just want you to get better," he said. I nodded and said, "that's what I'm here for while heading up the stairs.
"Goodnight," my uncle said.
"Night," I said.
Just as I was closing my bedroom door a wolf howled. It sounded like it was in pain. I didn't know why but, I wanted to go to the wolf and
make sure it was alright. It must be this place, it was making me more crazier than usually. As I drifted off to sleep with the wolf on my
mind I had the same dream I had every night scents I got here.
I was running, then I ended up at a clearing when a girl with pale white skin and wild red hair and eyes came out of the woods. I knew something wasn't right with this girl. She didn't seem human. She smiled at me and was going on about how she had to teach those dogs a lesson. She was just about to attack me when a silver wolf came out of the woods. I don't think wolf is the right word because this wolf was huge. The girl had me by the throat…
And that's when I always wake up. This dream was really starting to freak me out. It wasn't normal for someone to have the same dream every night.
The weekend was quiet, I hid in my bedroom blasting my music for most of it. When Monday came along I was dreading to go to school. Since
dinner at Billy's, Paul has been calling the house non-stop. I refused to talk to him when my uncle tried to give me the phone. My uncle always
knew when he was fighting a losing battle. So he never argued with me to talk to Paul.
Since Monday Paul has been trying to talk to me every chance he got at school. I manage to avoid him for the most part considering that we only
had the one class. But on Tuesday when he was standing by my locker I decided to carry all my books, just to avoid that from happening again.
But he still never gave up, he had so much as went out of his way to ask Kim to try and convince me to talk to him.
"Come on Laura can you please just give Paul a chance," Kim pleaded with me. We were suppose to be doing Geometry equations and that was already bad enough without Kim bring up Paul.
"I've known Paul for a long time and I've never seen him try this hard with a girl," she continued.
"I don't care, I've heard about him he's a player and has a different girl for every week," I replied frustrated.
"I know what he's like but I'm telling you he's changed. I've never seen him look at another girl the way he looks at you," she said desperately. "And anyways you shouldn't just not talk to him because of what you heard about him. What's that saying don't judge a book by its cover," she said while pointing at my desk where my latest book that I was reading laid.
"I didn't just hear, I saw what he did to Allison. He looked like he was going to rip her apart. He probably would have if Jacob hadn't stop him," I said started to get annoyed with Kim. I didn't know why she couldn't see what a ass Paul was. And why she would even consider me going out with him.
"I know but he really likes you," Kim was about to say more but I cut her off before she could start.
"Can we just drop this and get back to work," I said starting to lose my temper. Kim pouted but realize from the look on my face to not push me on the matter any farther. Just then the teacher started to past out our test that we had taken yesterday.
"Oh crap," Kim said under her breath.
"What's wrong did you get a 99 instead of a 100," I said teasing. She answered by showing me her test.
"Wow 49, that's not to bad," I said trying to make her feel better.
"Your right it not bad its terrible. So do you think you can tutor me miss to smart for her own good," she asked hopefully.
"No problem," I said. Math wasn't my favorite class but I was always really good at it.
"How about after school today?," Kim said.
"I actually had something to do after school, but I should be done with it around six if you want to stop by then," I said.
"Sounds good to me, see you then," she replied. The bell rang and I said bye to Kim and that I would see her later, before I headed off to my next class Kim said, "and think about what I said about Paul, he really likes you." Before I could say anything she ran over to Jared and was heading off to her next class. I was beginning to think this whole tutoring Kim might not be such a good idea, if she was going to be bring up Paul the whole time.
It was Friday afternoon and I was standing outside of my art class debating if I should just skip and avoid having to deal with Paul. I decide to just go knowing that if I skip it would just get back to my uncle. I went in and took my sit next to Paul just as the bell was ringing.
Paul looked over at me and said, "hey how are you, I haven't seen you all day."
"Fine, I said flatly.
"I know you don't want to hear this but please just give me a chance to explain myself. I know I was a jerk to Allison and you know I've been a player in my pasted. I've been through a lot lately and I'm still trying to figure all this out," he said the lasted part under he's breath.
"All I'm asking is for you to listen, he said hopefully. I was trying really hard not to give in to him, but I was starting to feel kind of bad for the way I've been treating him. And for some reason I felt some kind of pull to him whenever I was with him. All I had to do was listen, that's all he was asking and on the bright side maybe he would finally leave me alone. So I said, " fine I'll listen, we can talk tomorrow at the barn fire."
"Okay, really," he said surprised.
"Does that mean I might get that dinner with just the to two of us?," he said with that stupid smile of his.
"Don't push it, I only agreed to listen to what you had to say," I said annoyed. Here I was give him a chance and two seconds later he's thinking all was forgiven.
"Sorry, I was just kidding around. Not that I don't want to go out with you," he replied quickly. He turn back to he's work when he realize I wasn't going to talk to him anymore.
I was just randomly drawing when I looked down and realize what I had drawn, it was the silver wolf and the red haired girl from my dream. I quickly shoved the page behind the back of my book and looked up before anybody notice what I had drawn, thankfully nobody did everybody was to busy working on their own drawings. The bell rang shortly after that and I started to collected my things when Paul said nervously, "so I'll see you at the barn fire tomorrow right? I mean your not going to bail out on me are you?"
"I'll be there, even if I wanted to my uncle would never allow it. He's driving me there and will probably make sure I get there," I said half jokingly. With that I walked out the door and headed to my car to go see Emily for my same old boring session. On the drive there I was thinking about the barn fire and I had a feeling that tomorrow everything was about to change. And I wasn't sure if I was going to like it.
