ShaSha's P.O.V.
We entered the lunch room to find it already full. I wasn't expecting there to be so many kids here! And their skin! I counted about six different shades of brown ranging from almost black to my perfect tan. Numerous pairs of eyes looked at us as we searched for a place to sit and I flushed. I glanced at Mel and almost busted out laughing at how pink she was turning. As I scanned over the room I noticed a particularly large group of boys. They were all laughing loudly and their trays, which were piled with food, bounced up and down as one of the boys banged his hand on the table.
"Who are they?" I asked Blake. She looked where I was looking and the corners of her mouth twitched when she tried to hide a smile.
"Those are the Guys I was telling you about. Their stomachs are bigger then themselves." She said.
"I noticed." They were all extremely tall looking and they were all very muscular. There were five of them in all and they looked like they could all be brothers. I'm ashamed to admit I was staring but I couldn't help it. They were hot! Obviously the girls thought so too because Mel suddenly shrieked,
"Oh my gosh! They're hawt!" Eryn slapped her hand over Mel's mouth and covered her own. Blake and I stared at each other and then looked at Mel who was blushing furiously as she glanced around us at some of the people staring. I gulped and dared to look in the direction of "the Guys."
They were all staring at us in surprise. Three more had decided to join the party and they were all staring at us too. I noticed one guy staring at me in the most peculiar way and I couldn't bring myself to turn away. He wasn't the tallest but defiantly one of the biggest. His hair was cropped short into a buzz and, for a moment, his jaw fell open slightly. Holy cow was he hot! I barely noticed the rest of our friends look from him to me with quizzical looks. But our moment was cut short when he suddenly glared at me and gave me the scariest looked ever. He stood up and quickly darted out of the room, shaking like he was having a seizer or something as he went. His friends stared after him in bewilderment.
Awkward silence….
"What the hell was that?" Eryn asked to no one in particular. Mel shrugged and I just looked stupid. Then I frowned and crossed my arms across my chest. Why does every hot guy hate me so? I suddenly realized that the group of monstrous boys were staring right at us, shock and confusion blurred their expressions. Reluctantly I followed Blake to the table and sat down, trying to ignore the curious stares from "the Guys."
Blake sat next to a girl with light brown hair who smiled at her and then us. There was a boy…well not really boy. He looked more like a college grad then a senior from where I was sitting. His arm was hooked around her waist, pulling her tight against him as he eyed us warily. When he glanced at me I glared at him and turned away, trying to listen in on Blake and the girl's conversation.
"Oh, so they're visiting?" The girl was saying. She seemed really nice. Blake nodded and said, pointing in Eryn's direction,
"Her mom thought it would be a good experience for them to come live with me so she convinced the rest of our parents that it was a brilliant idea." Blake paused then said, talking to the girl and pointing to us at the same time,
"She's Eryn, the red-head is Melissa--"
"But you can call me Mel." Mel interrupted, smiling.
"--and that's ShaSha. She can draw really good." I blushed when everyone at the two tables looked at me and I looked down at the empty spot in front of me…wait empty? Holy crap!
"Crap I can't believe it!" I snarled, quickly getting up. Eryn and Blake looked at me in alarm but Mel ignored me and continued talking to the girl.
"What's wrong?" They said at the same time.
"I forgot to get lunch! Stupid boy, he distracted me!" That was crossing the line. If someone distracted me from my food, then they are going to cause some serious problems. They both relaxed and the girl said to Blake,
"You'll have to forgive Paul. He doesn't really…like newcomers." She said carefully. I snorted and stomped away, saying without looking at them,
"Well screw him! If I die of starvation, its going to be on his ass!" The whole two tables watched in surprise as I stalked away and headed for the food line. Eryn suddenly snickered and whispered to everyone,
"She's kind of crabby when she misses a meal."
I raised my hand over my head and gave them the finger and they all busted out laughing.
Blake's P.O.V.
After ShaSha got her food and quickly devoured it, I decided to introduce the gang to the guys.
"This is Kim and her boyfriend Jared." I said, pointing to the girl sitting next to me. Eryn and Mel said high and ShaSha only nodded her head at them, to engrossed with her cheeseburger to care. I leaned around the couple and pointed at two boys who both grinned when I said their names.
"That's Quil and Embry." Embry smiled shyly at Eryn who smiled nicely back. Quil and ShaSha grinned at each other and gave each other a thumbs up. Finally I turned to the last two boys at the table.
"That's Jacob," I paused when I saw Mel and Jacob look straight at each other at the exact same time and quickly turn away, hiding their blush. "And that's Seth. He's a sophomore." ShaSha looked up at the tall boy sitting next to her who smiled down at her. Her jaw was hanging open and she said in disbelief,
"He's a sophomore? That guy is taller then Mel!" Seth Clearwater was roughly three inches taller than "short" 5'8 and a half ShaSha. She frowned and grumbled something as she nibbled on her cookie. He only laughed at her and as he did so, I noticed the two open spots beside him.
"Where's Leah?" Seth suddenly turned serious and he shrugged, not looking straight at me.
"She went after Paul I think. He's having some…issues today." He said, quickly glancing at ShaSha and turning away. I shook my head in annoyance. Paul was always a jerk and he was never really nice to me and neither was Leah. But, lucky for me, I had Seth, Quil, and Embry to cheer me up. To make things better, I now had my three best friends living with me! This was going to be the best year ever!
"So how's Cathy doing?" Seth said, trying to change the subject. I shrugged and replied,
"Good. She really likes having the girls over. One reason being Eryn, Mel, and I are neat freaks and we have to keep everything in order, no thanks to ShaSha and her sloppiness." I said, looking mock angry at the tan-skinned girl who grinned across the table at me.
"And reason two, she loves cooking and she's very pleased to have ShaSha over. She knows she'll never be as good of a cook as Emily so she doesn't like feeding you guys." The boys all laughed and ShaSha had to stifle a giggle. Of course, it didn't work really well because Mel started laughing and, whenever she laughs ShaSha has to laugh. I was really enjoying myself with my friends. For some reason, it felt as if we've all known each other for ever when I'd only known them for a few months myself. But happiness doesn't last forever and our moment was short lived when I heard a voice say behind me,
"Well, look what the cat dragged in. Aren't you a little old to be hanging out with these guys?" I couldn't help but let out a small growl of despair. It was the voice of Maria Tylers. The La Push
High School slut. She had brown skin and long dirty blonde hair that stopped at her waist. She had a mole on her cheek and she had a flower in her hair. I admit it, I was jealous. But not because of her. She just had such a good way of convincing people to hate me.
All eyes turned to look at her and ShaSha twisted her head around to look too. Her cheeks were puffed up for she had shoved a whole hot-dog in her mouth. There was ketchup all around her mouth and when she saw the look Maria gave her, she grinned. Maria looked like she was about to vomit. ShaSha only grinned wider.
"Sup." Was all she could say.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" I asked, glaring at her. She always made fun of me because I didn't look like a senior. I looked more like a college student and I often felt like I didn't belong in the High School with all of these immature people. But she ignored my question and put her arm around Seth who looked like he had just pissed his pants. She played with his hair a bit and smiled as sweetly as she could,
"Hey Sethy. What's up?" Quil and Embry looked like they were about to die of laughter but they controlled themselves and managed to stifle a few giggles. Jared snickered and Kim glared at her with as much force as I was. She wasn't welcome here. She was an intruder. ShaSha had to swallow her hot-dog to prevent herself from spitting it out all over the place and laughing.
"Hello Maria. Nothing much." Seth said, closing his eyes and probably trying to picture himself in a much pleasanter place. I hated her right now with every bone in my body. She knew I had a big crush on Seth and I had to clench the side of the table with my hands to prevent myself from jumping up and punching her in the face and screaming, 'He's mine, back off, slut!' Eryn must of noticed too because she turned completely around in her seat and said,
"What do you want? We were having a nice conversation until you showed up." Ten points for Eryn, I thought cheerfully. Maria let go of Seth who let out a loud sigh of relief and glared at Eryn.
"And who are you? Don't tell me you're that vampire-werewolf obsesser." I noticed the surprised looks on the guys that Jacob had on before in French Class. Eryn crossed her arms over her chest.
"So what if I am? Its not like its any of your business."
"Maybe its not. But it just proves that you, her," She snarled, pointing at me. "and all of the rest of your friends are all freaks." She walked around and bent down to whisper in my ear and say in a low, harsh voice,
"Stay out of my way, Tenor. Seth is mine and no one's going to change that." With that said she stalked away back to her table full of smirking girls who were looking mockingly at us. Mel and
ShaSha had to hold Eryn back as she struggled to break out of their grasp and murder the slut. A shudder passed through Seth who looked really freaked out and he watched her go with a fearful look.
"Let me go!" Eryn said, still struggling. "Let me kill her!" ShaSha chuckled lightly and said,
"Chill out Eryn, Mel and I will take care of her." Mel looked over Eryn and stared at ShaSha.
"We will?"
"Yeah, we have gym class with her next. And I have the perfect idea for revenge…" ShaSha was grinning wickedly and that seemed to comfort Eryn for she stopped struggling and sat down. There was a small silence between the two tables before ShaSha chuckled and grinned at Seth with a strange glint in her eye.
"So she likes you, I take it?" Seth nodded sadly and ShaSha laughed really loud.
"You poor, unfortunate soul. Don't worry, we'll take care of her. My brilliant plan will, for sure, get her off your back." Seth smiled gratefully down at ShaSha.
"Whatever ShaSha calls 'brilliant' will probably end badly. If we're lucky, it might scare the slut away for good." I said. Everyone stared at me in astonishment. I guess they've never seen this side of me before. ShaSha just laughed and stood up and went to throw her food away. The bell rang and we all quickly headed for our next class. God only knows what the little demon had planned and I watched her warily as she and Mel disappeared into the girl's locker room.
ShaSha was still laughing and she gave me a thumbs up before disappearing from sight. I only hoped no one died after today.
