Chapter 4: Shopping

We sat against the wall until the bell rang. We just sat there and talked. Nothing important really, just kinda getting to know each other. When I heard the bell, it didn't register with me that it meant it was time to go until Nahuel stood up. He stuck out his hand, I took it and he helped me up. The kids in my class started coming out the door. I stood waiting with Nahuel when I saw my friend.

She ran over to me, looked up at Nahuel, then looked at me smiling. "Excuse me, can I talk to Chrystal for a minute?" she asked.

"Certainly. I'll see you in class." he said to me.

"Yeah, see ya Nahuel." I said. He walked away from us. It took me a moment before I could turn back to my friend. "Hi Bryn." I said, a little dazed.

"Hi Chrystal, who's your friend?" Bryn asked, with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh, that's Nahuel. He's new here." I told her.

"Uh huh. I'd ask why you weren't in class, but it looks like I already know." Bryn was my best girl friend. I was closer to Dylan, but I still loved Bryn, and told her everything - well, almost everything.

"We were just talking. I found out we have the same schedule."

"Oooooh, that's fun!" she said, "So you like him?" Bryn could read me too well.

"No, I don't. I just met him. You know I'm not like that." I said. I hated lying, but I was extremely convincing and people usually saw things my way.

"That's true. Mind if I have him then? He's hot!"

"Oh, um... I don't -"

"Hon, chill, I'm just kidding."

"Right, of course. Well, we should get to class now." I started walking, Bryn right beside me. We went to class, then the rest of my day past by in a blur - a blur, and Nahuel.

At the end of the day Nahuel walked me to my car.

"Do you mind?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You don't feel like I'm all over you, do you? I mean, I'm in all your classes, then walking you to your car. I don't want to suffocate you. I just want to be around you, get to know you."

"No, it's fine, I don't mind." I saw Bryn walking by. There was a big smile on her face and she was giving me a thumbs-up. That was going to get old fast.

"That's good. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah, sure. Bye." I got into my car, watching him walk away again.

While I was watching him, someone knocked on the passenger window. I turned slowly, keeping my eyes on him until I couldn't anymore. I rolled down the window and looked at who was at my door.

"Hey Chrys!" It was Bryn, of course it was.

"Hi Bryn." I said. I tried my hardest not to look back at him.

"Can I hitch a ride?"

"Um, yeah, sure. Why not?" and she got in.

"So, still looking after Nahuel, huh?" she asked.

"What?! No, of course not," I said convincingly. I started to drive out of the lot.

"Oh, ok, my mistake. So, are you doing anything this weekend?" She had to ask that question, didn't she. Why am I the only person in this tiny ass town to have read Twilight?! I'm going to get her to read it so I don't have to lie to her! I waited a bit to answer her as I got onto the highway.

"I'm going over to a new friend's house."

"Really? Who? Is it Nahuel's?" Bryn asked way too many questions. I love her dearly, but that got annoying, especially when she was right.

"No, it's not Nahuel's house, but he does live there."

"Perfect, I'm coming."

"What? No. You can't."

"Damn girl, chill! Can't you take a joke?"

"Sorry, it's just... I don't think it'd be... a good idea for you to come, I guess." Shit, I was saying too much. I couldn't tell her the house was going to be full of vampires and werewolves - aside from me and Dylan of course - but I couldn't have her thinking about coming either, even if she was kidding. It just wouldn't be safe.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I couldn't tell if she was joking or not.

"Um... what are you doing tonight?" I asked, avoiding the question.

"Nothing, we got out of have homework."

"Can you come shopping with me? There's something I need to get, and then I need to run home and get you something." I really hated shopping, so it'd be nice to have her along.

"Sure Chrystal." she said, "You're acting really strange though."

"Yeah, sorry."

I got off at the next exit, which led to Port Angles. It was a half-hour drive from where we were, but it was the only good place to shop nearby. Bryn ans I talked about school the whole way, I made sure to keep the subject far from Nahuel and this weekend.

When we got there, I went straight to the Quliuete shop there. I had a feeling that's where I was supposed to go, Alice said I'd know what it was when I saw it.

"What do you need from here?" Bryn asked.

"I'm going to a birthday party, that's what I'm going to the friend's house for. I need to get a present and this seemed like a good place."

"Do you know what you're looking for?"

"A stuffed animal."

"Ok, let's look."

We got out of the car and went inside of the store. It was really rustic inside. There were wooden walls with tribal rugs hanging from them. There were rows and rows of shelves with dolls and animals and toys. There was an older man behind a counter.

I walked over to the shelf with the stuffed animals. I didn't pay attention to what Bryn was doing. I didn't have to look very hard. I looked at the first animal on the shelf, and knew that was the one I was supposed to get. It was a wolf, with reddish brown fur and brown eyes. It was just like how Jacob was described when he was a wolf. That would be perfect for Renesmee. I took it off the shelf, walked over to the counter, and put it down. I asked how much.

"$20.00." was all he said.

I reached into my bag, pulled out my wallet, and saw I had exactly $20.00 left. This was perfect. I gave the man my twenty, then took the wolf, grabbed Bryn, and went back to my car.

We got in, I threw my bag in the back, and gave Bryn the wolf.

"Aw, it's cute." she said.

"I know, isn't it?" and so is he, I thought, but not as cute as Nahuel... I really need to stop thinking about him.

I kept my mind off of him for the most part by keeping Bryn talking and by focusing on the road, but he did keep creeping up to the front of my mind. I don't even know him that well, other then what I've read about, but that was just about him as the vampire - er, half-vampire - and then what we talked about today. One thing was for sure, I did want to get to know him too, even he knew that. He's just so -

"You're gunna miss the turn," Bryn said, interupting my thoughts.

"Right, sorry." I said, taking the turn.

"Thinking about Nahuel?" She asked in a mocking tone. That obnoxious grin growing on her face again.

"Will you get off of that? I'm not some totally obsessed freak. I barely know him." I told her. I'm glad I was so convincing, otherwise I would've been screwed. Every word of that was a lie, other then the hardly knowing him.

"Ok, fine, I'll stop bringing him up." she said as I pulled up to my house.

"Thank you. I'll be right back." I said, turning off the car, grabbing my bag from the back seat, then running inside.

My mom wasn't home yet, so I went straight to my room, grabbed four books, and threw them in my bag. Then I went to the kitchen, grabbed a pen and paper and wrote: Mom, went to Bryn's house. Call or text if you need me. Love, Chrystal. I placed it on the counter then went back outside.

Right when I shut the door I felt my pocket vibrate. I pulled out my phone and looked at it. It was a text form Bella. Hey, I heard you met Nahuel today. How did that go?

I texed back: Pretty good. He's really nice. =) I walked back to my car, got in, and I had another text: That's good. Alice is happy about that.

Yeah? I'm glad. I can't wait for Saturday! Then I put my phone in the cup holder, put my bag in the back, then looked at Bryn. She was playing with the wolf.

"Having fun?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I am." she said, looking at me. "So are we going to my house now?"

"Yes. I have what I need." I started the car and drove. Bryn's house was only five minutes away. I made it in three.
