Hey ppl who are reading this! I am EXTREMELY srry for not updating this story in FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been soooooooooooo busy lately w/ skool..... I'm in eighth grade, and we have LOADS of papers and crap due all of the time!! This chapter is REALLY short...srry! But enjoy anyway!

Mia and I both got in my truck and I started to drive to Port Angeles. Mia wouldn't stop looking around in my truck.

"Um, are you looking for something?" I asked.

"No, I was just wondering why your truck is so old? Why can't you just buy a new, sleek car?"

"Well, I can't really afford a new, sleek car. And I love to rebuild cars, so this truck is perfect for that. It's my talent." I explained.

"Oh, I get it. Well, it's a lovely talent. You'll go pretty far with it." Mia complimented with a too-friendly smile.

"Um, thanks. Look, we're here." I said, thankful that the conversation ended. We got out of my truck, and walked into the store. It wouldn't take very long for me to pick something out, because I wasn't very picky. Mia on the other hand, was picky. Great! Why did I bring her with me? Why couldn't I be mean, and told her 'No, you can't come with me?' We finally both agreed on a casual outfit. I didn't want to go too fancy, because it was only an ordinary dance. The outfit was a nice pair of dark blue jeans and a white shirt with a black jacket. Nessie is gonna love me in this! I thought excitedly. We went to the check-out line to pay for my things. The cashier was a lady probably in her late twenties or early thirties. Her name tag said, 'Hello! My Name is HELEN' and she had a smile on her face when it was our turn to check out.

"So, did you find everything okay?" Helen asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Great. So did you buy third so you two can go on a date tonight?" Helen asked while checking the price tags on my clothes. "You two are a very cute couple!" Helen smiled. Next to me Mia blushed a pretty shade of red. Great! this is perfect! just what I need to happen. I thought angrily.

"Actually, we are only friends." I admitted.

"Oh, sorry, my mistake." Helen apologized.

"But you're sort of right. It is for a date to a school dance."

"Oh, well, the girl that gets to see you in this outfit will be very lucky!"

"Thanks." I said grabbing my clothes and payed for them.

"Have a nice day and a terrific date!" Helen said as we walked out of the door. Mia and walked to my truck and for once, Mia was really quiet. I wonder why she is being so silent. Usually she is a person that can not stop talking to me. Is she still thinking about what our cashier, Helen, said? She looked kinda nervous. I wonder why. The rest of the way back to the Forks High School parking lot was silent too. Her facial expressions showed that she was really concentrating on something. When we got to the parking lot there were a bunch of cars left, because school ended several minuets ago. I completely forgotten that Mia and I had skipped the last two classes of school. Oops! That totally slipped my mind! But I didn't really care about skipping. I have skipped so many times before. It may be a big deal for Mia, so maybe that's what she was so worried about. We both got out of my truck. There was something in the back tire, so I went in the back to go figure out what it was. When I was all done, I turned around and Mia was standing right behind me. What she did next, I totally didn't expect.
