4. Planning

"Are you serious!?" my friend, Keleeigh said, outstanded. I had just told her about me and Quil. I was at school, in lunch, sitting in the cafertiria.

"Geez I love the surprise in your voice," I laughed. She huffed a bit.

"Great my best friend is way prettier then me and now she has a hot, older boyfriend. What did I do to the world!?" she expoled.

I laughed, "Kleeigh your pretty" - she really was -" and I've known Quil for ages, he has always said once I'm mature enough he would probably like me," I repeated our unconvising cover story.

"Still I -" The rest of her sentence was drowned out by the bell. I laughed at her again and set off to Woodwork.

"Oi CLAIRE," Logan Thomas called out to me. Ugh, I walked a little faster. Logan was a dickhead who thinks he is cool because he once went out with one of my popluar friends, Natalee Simons. She soon realised he was a dickhead and quickly dumped him. He can't realise that he has had his shot at La Push Resavation High fame and failed. "Claire don't be like that! I know you love me!" Oh my god what was he? In grade one? I turned and pretty much ran into the classroom and went to sit by Natalee.

"Hey" she said cheerfully.

"Hey," I smiled. She looked a little amused.

"I heard a rumor," she said, "I hear you and that Quil Astera guy are together. Is it ture?"

"Guilty," I said. Her mouth hung open in a perfect O. I laughed, "Why does everyone have to be so suprised? It's so mean."

"But... but - he's so hot. I'm soo jealous. All his friends are hot, too. Who are the single one's?"

"Jealous? But your heaps pretty. And I know; Quil is hot. Okay the single ones right; Embry- he's a bit older, not that you'd care-, Sean, Jaiden, Noah, and Angus". I didn't want to affend her and tell her that the pack probably wouldn't go out with her.

I should probably tell you when Sean, Jaiden, Noah, and Angus joined the pack. Well, Sean, Jaiden and Noah all joined when The Volturi came to kill Nessie. They are all young - between 12 and 14 - because all those vampire's around La Push trigged it early. Callum joined then, too. Angus was sixteen when he joined, five years ago now.

"Wow madd."

Class started then bring us to a stop, thankfully. I didn't want her to get her hopes up.

Quil was waiting for me outside the school, here to pick me up like always. I jumped joyfully into the car and pecked him on the lips.

"Hey," I said, overjoyed.

"Someone's happy," Quil commented.

"Well, do you know what we are doing this arvo?" I asked, teasing him now knowing he won't like it.

"What?" he asked cautiously.

"Planning my fifteenth," I said. My birthday was only two weeks away.

"Ugh I hate planning," Quil said, disgusted.

"I don't care it has to be done. My birthday is only two weeks away Quil and I really want to plan," I said this in the voice I knew he couldn't resist.

"Fine"

"Okay who are you inviting?" Quil asked after we had sat at the Dining room table, ready to plan.

"Mmm... okay well, the pack and their families, The Cullen's - they've always been really nice to me -, Kleeigh, Natalee... my family - as in my parents," Quil frowned in disapprovial," you know I don't like my family -, your parents, oh and I'll ask Josh if he wants to come back for the weekend". Quil's face fell sympathetic. "I know its a long shot," I sighed. Josh is my twenty-four year-old brother. He lives in Los Vegas because Dad and him had this massive falling out. Quil leaned over to hug me.
"It's okay," Quil whispered soothingly in my ear. He hot breath tickled my ear. A tear formed in my eye and spilled over, landing on Quil's shirt. It had been that bad since he left, a year ago now. Quil kissed my hair and reminded me about my party and I was cheered up; a bit.

We planned all arvo not finishing until Mum got home.

"Hi you two," she greeted us.

"Hi," we replied.

"Oh is this your birthday plans?" Mum asked coming over to join us. I nodded.

"Claire, I'm stuffed. Can I pluh-eeze go home?" Quil begged. I laughed

"Ugh fine," I teased. I got up to show him out and say goodbye to him probably without Mum there. I walked him to the door and he turned and crushed his lips to mine with lots of fierceness. I kissed him back, the same amount of passion. I lighyly traced the outside of his lips with the tip of my tongue..

A little groan escaped his busy lips.

My father cleared his throat in the background.

We reluctenly parted. Oops. I was sure Dad was okay with Quil... until now.

Quil looked down. I was sure that someday we would laugh about this but now was definally not the time. "Er... I uh am gonna go." And he disappeared into the dark night.

I looked at my father and cringed from the embrassment.

"Yeah I umm... am going to go to bed." I ran up the staircase and into the safe surrounding of my bedroom. I dug my head into my pillow. Embrassed to my very core. See, my father is never around and the one time he is he has to catch me and my boyfriend. Ugh great. I curled into a ball and fell asleep.
