The rest of the week runs by quickly. I am actually enjoying my new school. Everyone I have met has been very welcoming and it feels to have the guys and Kim there as well. I have been talking with Antonia and Kiro a lot, we have similar personalities and they have shared all the gossip in school with me. Right now we are sitting outside the school by a couple of benches, waiting for our last class to start.
"One week of school and I am already exhausted," Kiro says. Antonia rolls her eyes.
"Because you have been working so hard, right?"
I laugh. I have only known Kiro for less than a week and I have already noticed that Kiro only does the bare minimum. He copies most of his homework and slept through the history lesson the other day. Antonia is the opposite, she even studies more than Kim and takes notes of everything the teachers say.
"Well at least it's Friday tomorrow" I say.
Kiro shines up.
"I can't wait! I am so looking forward to the party, who do you think will make out?"
"A party?" I ask
"Oh you should come! It's on the beach, and there are lots of people coming. I heard that people from the Makah tribe and Forks are coming as well!" Antonia says
I think about it for a second but then I quickly say yes to the invitation. It sounds fun.
"Kiro has been preparing for weeks, his entire garage is filled with alcohol" Antonia laughs.
"Can I bring someone?" I ask.
"Yeah, I mean it is an open party, everyone can come!"
Then the bell rings and we hurry to class.
After school I am hanging out with the pack, there was some kind of pack meeting and now we are playing cards.
"Have you heard about the party this Friday?" Paul asks Sam. Sam shakes his head.
"Well there are rumours about this giant party on the beach. Lots of kids from Forks High School coming as well"
I look up.
"Yeah I heard about it as well, I am going with Antonia and Kiro"
"You didn't tell me that" Quil says.
"Well I didn't know about it until today, you could go as well if you want to"
Sam nods.
"Yeah I think we should be there, to make sure that things don't get overhand." He says.
"It sounds fun" Kim says.
Jared looks at Sam
"That means that I can go as well, right?" Jared asks Sam.
"You have patrol Friday night, so no"
"Well then I volunteer as a tribute. It's been a while since I was at a party" Paul says and smirks.
"Quil and Embry you should go as well. And Paul remember that you are not there to party, you represent the pack and are there to make sure that everything is alright. And take care of the imprints"
I expect Paul to laugh it off but he nods seriously.
The imprints is a phrase I am hearing more often. That's us.
Then Friday night comes and I am standing in my room getting ready. I decide to curl my hair for once and put extra time and effort into doing my makeup. I make sure to dress warm, Kiro told me that it will be a huge fire but I know how cold the evenings get here. Embry and Quil will come straight from patrol so Paul is coming by to pick up Kim and I and drive us there. I heard from Kim that Jared was annoyed with Jacob. Apparently Jared tried to switch patrols with Jacob so he could come with Kim but Jacob refused, he is spending the evening with Bella.
When we arrive the beach is absolutely filled with teenagers and young adults. The music is loud and the whole beach is buzzing.
"Oh Sam will not be happy about this" Paul says.
We walk out of the car and I look after Kiro and Antonia, I want to introduce them and Kim to each other. I think they will like each other.
I hear a whistle and turn around, there is a group of guys who waves at Paul and wants him to join them.
"Oh is it okay if I go and say hi to some of the guys?" Paul asks
"Of course it is! Have fun. You are not here to babysit us"
"Well Jared will have my head if anything happens to Kim". Paul says and chuckles.
Paul goes to greet his friends and I hook arms with Kim to go find Kiro and Antonia. After a while we find them.
"Oh you made it!" Kiro says and throws his arms around me. He is drunk. I laugh and hug him back.
As I thought Kim and Antonia get along great and are sitting by a log in deep discussion. I am sitting with Kiro sippening on a cider as he drunkenly commentates on everyone. I am laughing so much. After a while I get up to get something else to drink for me and Kim.
I am standing by a table trying to find two sodas when someone nearly falls over me.
"Oh shit sorry!" A tall, blonde guy says as he steadies himself.
"It's fine" I say and turn back to the coolers.
"I´m Matt" He says and leans forward to hug me. I smell the alcohol on him.
"I am Stephanie". He looks at me up and down.
"Wow, you are hot"
I laugh and he leans on me to prevent from falling over.
"Sooo, are you coming with me home?"
"Absolutely not" We hear a dark voice saying. It´s Paul. He shakes his head and smiles to himself like he can't believe what he is seeing. Paul lifts up the guy's heavy arm from me and steadies him as he almost falls again. Paul puts his arm around my shoulder and guides me out of there.
"We can't take you anywhere can we? I am telling you, boys are animals"
"And you know the most about it, don't you?" I say teasing him.
We walk back to Kim, Kiro and Antonia as they are standing in a group with some of their friends. Suddenly the music raises up and everyone gets up and starts to dance. It´s like everyone on the beach comes together as a close mass of people. Kiro pulls me in the crowd and I pull Kim along. We are dancing and having a great time. It's really crowded though. Lots of teenage bodies pushed close together. I am feeling some guys pushing their bodies closer to mine than necessary. I feel uncomfortable. Suddenly I notice someone being pushed away from me and Kim.
"Get your hands of them!" Embry says with Quil on his side. Quil pushes the drunk guys further away from us. I hug Embry and Quil.
"Has it been like this all night?" Quil asks. Kim shakes her head no
"No I have had a great time" She says.
"People are just getting too drunk" I say.
"Yeah I can see that" Embry sighs.
Kim, Embry and I step away from the dancing crowd as Quil goes to find Paul. We sit by Kiro who is throwing up in the sand. Embry is talking to a girl and laughing. And Kim and I are eating hotdogs in the moonlight.
An hour later we hear a siren and the party is dissolved. It turned out to be a good night.
