Chapter 9

Mel POV

Time flew by and before I knew it. It was time for summer to end and school to start.. Yay me. Emily enrolled me to Quileute Tribe School. She wasn't kidding when she said that it was small, I mean the only school had catered for kindergarden students to seniors. The guys promised me that they'll help me out and that was it- after I heard Jared and Paul bet on how long I'll flip.

I soon learned that at then end of the summer holidays, the guys held a bonfire where they had a small get together and shared the stories of the Quileute legends. This was all new to me so I was really looking forward to this kind of stuff. In the meantime, I also met Jared and Jacob's girlfriends, Kim and Bella. They both seemed so sweet and last of all, I got to meet Claire. She was about 3 ½ years old and completely adorable and so cute. I was never good with youngsters- they irritated me- but this girl blew me away. She seemed to have that effect on everyone, especially Quil. Everytime I saw her, she always wanted me to play with her hair and do something "pwetty" with it, as she would say. Most of the time, I made her a fishtail or frnech braid and then Quil would scoop her up in his arms, she'd giggle and he'd tell her how gorgeous she looked and then she'd squeal like the little girl she is and kiss him on the cheek as a thankyou.

Kim at first was very shy, more or less like I was but after taking her away from Jared, I actually got to know the girl. At first she looked plain, nothing out of the ordinary but not ugly, but as I got to study more of her features, she turned out to be gorgeous. She had wavy brown hair nearly to her ass, small freckles spread across her rosy cheeks, her eyes had a spark of gold in them and her lips were full and perfect for her. One time we were walking from the grocery store and she complained about herself being too invisible. Couldn't argue with that assessment because she was much like the others – Quileute like : Brown, wavy, long hair, russet skin.. She needed a little touch that was outside the La Push borders.

"If you feel so uncomfortable about it, why don't you make a stand?", I asked.

"How? I'm not like you. I'm shy, introverted and just below average looking," she rumbled on as she hid her face.

I stopped in my tracks and said, "First of all, I once was extremely shy. So shy that if you just said my name, I'd duck my head and barely be able to stutter a word. I was also and still am a bit introverted. I still keep my thoughts and says to myself sometimes. But then, I've had some traumatic experiences in my life and I learned that by staying shy, I was only gonna destroy myself even more, so I changed. I said my opinions, spoke for those who couldn't and here I am today."

"It's not that I'm shy per se, I mean I'm improving it's just my looks, y'know?"

"Well are you willing for some change as in, highlights in your hair, change of style in clothes, that kind of thing?"

"YESS. I've been meaning to find someone like you to help me out. I mean it's not like that I don't like Emily's taste and Leah and Bella don't really care so. And you have the look that I kind of picture.."

I looked down to myself. I was wearing leggings,flowy top that shows my bare stomach and sandals. Nothing out of the ordinary. "Well if you want we can go to Port Angeles and go do your shopping and everything else." I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively.

"Oh God, Yes Pleaseeeee! Let's just take these back to Emily's, see if they want to come and we're off." We just turned the corner that was to Emily's house. She all but grabbed the bags, towed them inside and began jumping up and down and side to side about our little shopping trip. Leah wasn't there, so it was just Emily and Bella, since the guys were out working. Neither of them were set on the idea of going shopping and mingle with people. So there we were, Kim and I in her grey Toyota, heading off to Port Angeles. I got to drive since she wasn't so keen on having to drive as she wasn't "comfortable". Anyway, I got used to the steets of Washintgon and in the malls we headed !

"So, first we can go to the beauty salon, then the hairdresser and finally we hit the shops. What'd'ya say?"

"Okay."

First, they gave Kim a facial treatment, to unblock her pores and such, even though her face was zitless and then they headed to treat her eyebrows. In the end, she looked completely different and HOT.

She couldn't believe her eyes at first and began touching her face to ensure herself that the person looking back at her in the mirror was Kim Conweller. After making an appointment for the following weeks, we headed to the hairdresser where we decided that she's gonna trim her hair, to get rid of the split ends, put blonde highlights in her hair that will help her enhance her russet skin and golden eyes and a fringe that made her look really young and flirty. Finally, it was time for the shopping. Since we nearly threw all of her stuff away, we had to start from scratch, meaning – underwear. So we headed to a lingerie store which had all types of undergarments, which made Kim squeamish. I loaded her up with all types of bras and underwear, suggestively winking at the possibilities of her and Jared. She giggled, blushed and went to try them on. I noticed a few underwear that I liked and went to try them on for myself. We bought all that we needed and after putting Kim in her new outfit which consisted of really short jeans short and a see through brown top. She had also put on her new black bra and off to the bonfire we went.

During the ride she checked her phone to find 42 missed calls, 16 messages and 13 voicemails. Talk about over protective boyfriend. She began panicking because she had no money to call him back so I dialled his number and gave her my phone. After 5 minutes of reassuring him that she's fine and safe I shouted "We'll see you verrryyyy sooooooon Jared and I hope that you like your beautiful present that is bound to be there in 5 more minutes if you stop worrying!" That silenced him and said that they'll be waiting for us at the beach.

The more we came closer to the beach, the more Kim began worrying if Jred likes this, or if Jared likes that. I parked the car and slowly turned to face her slowly, "Kim, do you like the new you?" She instantly nodded. "Then there's nothing to worry about. Only you should care about if you look good. If the others don't like it, screw them. Got it?"

She smiled and hugged me. "You know you're the sister I don't have."

My insides warmed and I blushed. "T-Thanks, you too. I always wished I had someone like you too." She beamed at me and said, "Come on, let's go, everyone's waiting for us!"

She giggled and got out excitedly I hurried up my pace so I was fast walking next to her. "Calm down," I muttered.
