Jenny was amazed by the sheer size of the boys inside the house. Jacob was the tallest but not by much. She also guessed shirts were optional when it came to these boys. Not that she was complaining. She did feel a little out of place. They were all tall tanned and casually dressed. It was a huge difference from her pale look with dark eye make and overly dressed up. There welcoming smiles put her at ease quickly though.

"Hi I'm Emily" a pretty girl with a striking scar introduced herself "You must be Jenny we've heard so much about you"

"You have?" Jenny asked raising an eyebrow at Jacob.

"No they haven't I mean we only just met I told them I nearly ran you over" he explained quickly.

"That is such a lie" Quil laughed.

Jenny giggled and grinned at Jacob.

"That's really cute Jacob" she said with a slight teasing tone to her voice.

Jacob punched Quil playfully trying to hide how much he was blushing. It wasn't exactly how he hoped the meeting would go. He didn't want Jenny to think he was some idiot talking about her when they barely knew each other.

Jenny was surprised by how nice Jacob's friends were. She wasn't used to it especially not nice girls. There was no bitchy power struggle and all the jokes were in good fun, not digs at people.

"You know" Sam said drawing Jenny's attention away from Jacob "We're having a bonfire on the beach you should come"

"I'd have to ask my mom" Jenny replied a little uncertainly.

"Just tell her my Dad will be there, she'll be cool with it" Jacob told her.

Jenny had never been to the beach. She was used to the city. She grinned widely. This would defiantly be fun. Something new and different.

One thing she quickly learnt was heels and sand didn't mix so well so she had to ditch the heels and instantly felt like a midget compared to the freakishly tall boys around her. Not that Emily was overly tall so she felt a little better. She watched in amazement as some of the boys jumped from the cliff tops into the sea. That was one thing she would not be trying any time soon. Instead she went and sat at the edge of the sand with her toes in the water. It was weird how calm and at home she felt here.

"Hey vamp girl wanna help start the bonfire?" Jacob asked sitting down beside her.

"Not really now" she replied "I'll just sit here"

"Come on that's no fun" he persisted.

Jenny just shrugged her shoulders. She was enjoying the peacefulness. Sure she wanted to have fun with Jacob and his friends. She was having fun. Hard work wasn't really her thing she was happy to sit in peace for the next ten minutes and clear her head.

"I'll pick you up and throw you in" he threatened.

Jenny eyed him cautiously. Thinking he probably would throw her in the sea she got up to help. No way was she ruining her favourite summer shorts .

It wasn't too long before the fire was blazing away and they were all sat round talking and laughing together. It had gotten dark pretty quickly but Jacob had told her mom that he would drive her home so she didn't need to worry about the time so much. The downside was that it was getting cold and her little top and shorts weren't providing much warmth. Seeing that she was shivering slightly Jacob put his arm around her and pulled her closer. Ignoring the butterflies she was feeling fluttering away in her stomach, Jenny listened to the legends and stories they were telling about their tribe. Jenny hadn't ever thought about spending her time like this. If it wasn't guys, girls and gossip girl she generally wasn't interested but this was nice. She wasn't being bitchy ice queen Jenny who was out to ruin everyone who crossed her. She could be just plain old little J not constantly on the defence trying to climb the social ladder.
