The Whole Story Of The Beginning

The lunch room became more and more empty as people were done eating. I bought an apple and a bottle of water, and I made my way to a table in a corner by a window. Everyone was eyeing me, but they all got distracted as a few boys from the football team burst into the room laughing and throwing around the football. As the lunch room went back to their normal conversations and eating, one of the boys called on a girl.

"Hey Tammy!"

Tammy? Just then I saw a hand sticking up from a table and she called him over. When he and his friends were by the table she stood up and gave him a small peck on the lips. I recognized the girl; it was the girl by my locker, the one who just could talk and talk.

I went back to eating my lunch, and ever now and then I would look up to look at the table where Tammy and the other were. I would also occasionally look out the window where you could see the parking lot. But as I looked out the window I saw Collin and his friends, Collin was sitting on the grass with his head in his hands and he was talking to his friends. Collin looked concerned and frustrated, and the others looked sincere. Leah sat a few feet away from them with her legs stretched out and she had one hand on the ground supporting her. She was investigating her nails and she looked bored. Some boys near by were looking at her, and at the same time, without taking their eyes of her, they were talking to each other.

Now and then Collin and his friends would look at Leah and maybe say something, but she ignored them completely.

"Hi," I jumped in my seat; I was clearly surprised by the sudden voice at my table, and turned around to see who it came from. It was Tammy, she was sitting across from me and she was alone. The rest of them were still at their table.

"Hi," I said back, uncertain why she came to talk to me. I looked down at my apple to take another bite, but I realized that where I had bitten was beginning to turn a little brown. I took a bite and she started to speak again.

"Why aren't you with Collin and the others?"

I shrugged, not really knowing what to answer. Should I say that I was a bit afraid and that I'm bad at toughening up, and risk her laughing at me and telling her friends and I'll be the laughing stock of the entire school? No, that's for sure. Or should I tell her a lie? No, she's only been nice to me and I should be nice back and tell the truth. But no, the best thing right now is for me to shut up.

She nodded and pursed her lips.

"So," she started, willing to make a conversation, "Do you like it here so far?"

"Y-yeah, yeah I do," I answered.

"Cool," she nodded.

Aw come on Lizzie! She's trying to be nice and make a conversation and you're just sitting here. Do something!

"So…ehm, what could you tell me about Collin's friends?" I asked. This made her eyes sparkle and a smile started to spread across her face.

"Well, first, I thought you knew some stuff about them since you live with Collin," she started, but I shrugged, indicating that I knew nothing. She rubbed her hands together and lunged into her story," Okay, These guys…and girl, are all very good looking, and every time you stand close to them you feel insecure. If you know what I mean?" I nodded fast and rolled my eyes; I knew exactly what she meant.

"These guys make your mouth water; I mean seriously, you have to check that you're not drooling or something. The girl, Leah as you probably know, every guy wants. Even my boyfriend Jimmy," she motioned to the boy that was in deep conversation with one of his friends," even he is all crazy about her, and he has me, and we're like the perfect couple, you know, Jimmy and Tammy, like seriously c'mon!" She started to get a little frustrated, but took a deep breath and continued. "Well, I can't be mad at her can I? She can't help that she was born…perfect." Her frustrated tone came up again, but she closed her eyes and waved it off with her hand. She opened her eyes again and started to speak animated, like she loved talking about this. "But on to the story, she had like her heart crushed or something, I don't really know the story. She's tough, bitter and sarcastic, don't mess with her. Okay, the big guy, I mean they are all big but whatever," She said pointing out the window toward this guy, "His name is Paul, he is dead gorgeous, and he's quite the player. He's dated like all the 'hot' girls, including me," She blushed at this, "but it was kinda awkward. He's like slept with a majority of them, and at this night club that most of us go to, including them, you can like always see him making out with a random girl, or just disappearing with one. Doing god knows what! He also has a bit of a temper, so ya shouldn't really mess with him or any of them really. He's like always in a fight. The principle can like give him a key to his office, that's how often he's there." Her eyes were wide and her eye brows were raised.

She continued her little story about them, and who she had dated, the ones she dated were only one time. And she said that they weren't really interested in her, at least they were nice unlike Paul who was just trying to get in her pants. She told me about Collin and who he has dated and stuff. She also told me about Brady, Jared, Jacob, Quil, Embry and someone named Seth. This Seth person really caught my attention, and when she pointed him out I realized it was he that looked at her before, the one that made their eyes locked on each other.

I kept looking at Seth as Tammy continued and talk about someone named Sam, he didn't go to school, he was older, but they were a gang and he was their gang leader.

Seth was perfect, he seemed nice, and someone I definitely would like to date. If I could ever toughen up, and the other problem was that he and Leah are siblings. I wonder if she would let me date him, when of course I'm tough enough.

Just then Seth looked my way, and our eyes, once again, were locked on each other. I felt a pull towards him, I just wanted to be in his arms, just seeing him I felt safe and protected. I felt this around Collin and his other friends as well, but there was something more with Seth, and just thinking his name makes my insides melt. I feel special when our eyes meet. I never want this to end, never ever.

Just then the bell rang, I jumped in my seat but I didn't break our eye contact. I realized that Tammy was trying to make contact with me, but she couldn't come into my and Seth's little world, it's our place. Only ours.

"Hello?! Earth to Lizzie! C'mon we gotta go to class or we'll be late. I have Social Studies, what do you have?" Tammy picked up my papers, which only consisted of my schedule and map of the school, and took out my schedule.

"Oh, you have P.E with Coach Parker. Oh well, I guess we will have another class together." She kept babbling on. Collin and his friends were starting to walk away and one of his friends nudged on his shoulder and told him something. Seth broke our eye contact reluctantly, and walked away.

I slowly turned my head towards the talking Tammy and luckily I caught the end of her little speech.

"…and well they didn't get so happy when they were late to class, so we gotta go now. Come on, let's go to our lockers." I nodded, and we walked out of the lunch room, and into the crowded corridor.

***

Coach Parker was going through the roll, when Seth and Embry burst through the door.

"Oh, sorry we're late, we…ehm…ya, I'm just gunna shut up now," Embry said.

"Yeah…sorry," Seth also said. Everyone went back to what they were doing, and Seth looked around and saw me. His eyes immediately landed on mine, and I was lost in his.

"First day back from school after summer vacation and you are already late to class, again. And Embry watch you language! So, I've tried everything, but you keep coming late, I don't know what the hell I should do! Just go to work!" Coach Parker spat. Hypocrite.

Embry started to talk to Seth, and I looked down continuing with the warm up. We were worming up before we started to play dodge ball.

When I was done stretching my legs I looked up to see that both Seth and Embry were walking towards me. I felt like I was going to start to panic, but I calmed myself down as I looked in to Seth's eyes. You can do this. This is Collins friends, they won't hurt you.

"Hi, you must be the girl Collin calls his sister," Embry snickered, "I'm just messing with you," and messed up my hair with his huge hand, which I have to say was burning like Collin's. I fixed my hair as he continued to speak, "So this is Seth and I'm-"but I cut him off.

"I know what your names are," I said.

"Oh really what's mine then because I can't recall Collin telling you our names or anything about us," Embry said with a wry smile, I remembered what Tammy told me, Embry is the one who likes to make bets.

"Your name is Embry Call, and you like to make bets. You are best friends with Quil and Jacob. But you are good friends with the others in the gang as well." I said quite proud, and I had a half smile on my lips as I turned to Seth, "Your name is Seth Clearwater, your sisters name is Leah. You are a bit kinder then some of the gang, you keep your temper on a leash. Like everyone else in the gang you shouldn't be messed with. There, that covers more than you wanted to know Mr. Call."

"Well, well, you know quite a lot there little missy, how do ya know all of this?" Embry asked, in the corner of my eye I saw Seth with a smile and he was looking at me like I meant the world to him. This made me smile a bit more, and I realized because of Collin and his friends I feel more confident. Maybe Leah doesn't have to work so hard on me.

"Mr. Call that's for me to know, I have my sources. Maybe you should watch out, I may just find out your deepest secret. A secret even your little gang doesn't know about." I had a mischievous smile on my face, I felt like playing at bit. Make them sweat; make them know I'm not someone to mess with.

Seth was laughing, and Embry had a big grin on his face.

"I like you," Embry said pointing at me, "Well, if you know stuff about us, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself? Collin told us that you don't have so much confident, and you don't like talking to people. What's happened, and what did you and Leah do in the toilet?"

"Well when it comes to Leah that's none of your business. And yes, I was what Collin told you, but a change needed to be made, and today it has started. So you can tell your little gang that I'm no longer what Collin told you, and you should never mess with me under any circumstances. Trust me, you don't. And tell Leah from me that I like to idea with the windowsill," Both Seth and Embry looked at me confused about the Leah thing, "Don't worry she'll understand." I grinned at them both, and I stood tall, and I put my hands on my hips and put on a dead serious face as Leah did before. "Can you do that? It's a pretty easy task."

"Yeah, yeah, we can do that. But one question, what's with you and my sister. She's not a nice person, you know." Seth said. His husky voice made my knees go weak. Thank god that my pride was still in my body or I'd fall. Wow, that would be beyond embarrassing!

"As I said, the thing with Leah is none of your business." I answered my face still dead serious.

"But-"Seth started, but I cut him off.

"Seth, Seth, Seth," I said calmly and a bit slow, wagging my index finger at him. Saying his name made me smile, it's such cute name, "Please don't make me repeat myself. Now, before Coach Parker comes over here and yells at us 'cause frankly I don't want spit on my face," This made them laugh again, "I say we should go to everyone else and start the dodge ball game."

Seth and Embry nodded and we walked over to the others.

Dodge ball went quite well, me, Embry and Seth were in the same team. And we were always the last remaining, I was only still in the game because of Seth, and a little help from Embry, as they saved me from the balls. And they were still in the game because they are like brick walls, and strong as god only knows. And because of them our team won all the time.

First day of school wasn't bad at all, now it's just home I have to take care of. 'Cause dad is still home when I get there.

Hope you liked it ya'll! Review!

Have a nice day/night
