Chapter 2: Meeting Quil & Embry

When I got home after school, I had no homework or anything. What should I do? There was no idea starting making diner for Charlie; it was just going to be cold when he got home. I have never liked watching TV so I wasn't going to do that. After I had bean thinking for a minute, I decided I would go up to check if the computer still was all black. If I was able to start it, I would check my e-mails, again. This time the computer worked perfectly, except for the fact that it took half an hour for it to start. I read the first e-mail that I had already seen the first half of;

Hi Bella,

How are you? I haven't heard from you since Wednesday. Me and Phil are doing great! Tomorrow I'm going to go water skiing. I'm so excited! Do you have any plans for the weekend? You never mentions your friend anymore, are everyone OK?

Love mom

I had gotten one more from her this morning while I was at school. (A/N: the first e-mail was sent yesterday). I opened it;

Why haven't you answered? Is something wrong? If I'm not hearing from you today, I'm calling Charlie!

Mom

It's typical for Rene to overreact like this. Quickly I sent an e-mail back.

Hi Mom,

The reason I didn't answered was that my computer broke down. Please be careful today, but have fun. Tonight I'm going down to La Push for a big bonfire. Billy Black invited me and Charlie. My friends are OK, I guess… I'm not seeing them that much anymore. Say hi to Phil for me.

Bella

When I saw what time it was, I decided that it was time for making dinner. What should I make? Something easy and not too much since we're going down to La Push later. Hm, spaghetti with meatballs! I quickly started by taking the meatballs out the fridge.

When I placed the spaghetti on the table, I heard the door open.

"Bella?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah, in the kitchen. I just finished making the dinner" Charlie came into the kitchen and sniffed in the air.

"Smells good, Bells" he said encouraging and sat down. We ate in silence, it wasn't an awkward silence. When we almost was done Charlie talked.

"Do you look forward to meet the Quileutes today?" He asked.

"Yes, I do actually, more than I expected. It will be fun" I said happily. Charlie looked glad, probably because he was happy that I wasn't pissed or something because he made me go. It felt like something good would happen if I was there. I had no idea what, but I wanted to know.

45 minutes later we sat in Charlie police car, on our way to La Push. Charlie hadn't wanted me to take my truck. 'It will be much nicer if you and I go there together.' Yeah, sure, he just thought my truck was old and not safe to drive. It seemed like I was the only person who estimated it. The trip took about 10 minutes. We were going on a highway surrounded by forest and then we got to the little reserve. It was full of little, red houses and over at the other side you could see the sea. First Beach. I could only imagine how beautiful it would be at the sunset. If he hadn't left, I would take him here. We would- I stopped myself in the middle of the sense, I didn't wanted to think of that. Charlie stopped the car in front of a red little house – pretty obvious since there were almost only red little houses – and got out of the car. He walked up to the door and knocked. The door opened and inside stood a boy, he was only a little taller than me, he had long black hair and his skin was dark. It was Jacob! (A/N: Bella knows who Jacob is since she met him down at First Beach just like in the real Twilight book, but Edward wasn't a vampire). I had totally forgotten about him! But obviously, he hadn't forgotten about me.

"Charlie! Bella!"

"Hello kid. Do you know were Billy is?" Charlie asked while he looked inside the door.

"Yes, he is in the living room, watching baseball. As usual."

"Okay, thanks." He said and turned to me, "why don't you talk to Jacob? I'm going in to Billy." And then he disappeared into the living room. I looked up at Jacob who smiled widely at me. It was a beautiful smile.

"Hi" he said, "it was a long time ago"

"Yeah, should we do something?" I asked, smiling. I was a little nervous. But only a little, I'm also pretty sure this was the good thing that I thought would happen, meeting Jacob again. He looked like he was thinking hard. "I know you're great with cars, maybe we could do something like that? Or go down to the beach?" I asked to easier for him.

"We could go down to the beach?" He answered, making it sound like a question.

I smiled up at him, "Sure, it will be nice. Common." we started walking, in silence. But just like with Charlie when we eat, it wasn't an awkward silence. When we got down to the beach, Jacob turned towards a fallen tree about 100 meters away. I recognized it as the tree we had bean sitting on last time I was here, when Jacob told me a couple old Quileute legends. He stopped and sighed.

"Oh, no" He muttered to himself.

"What?" I asked, confused.

He pointed at two contours in the water close by the fallen tree. "It's Quil and Embry" He explained, "they're my best friends but I should warn you for Quil, the only girl he has met and didn't tried to make her fall for him is his mother"

I giggled. Oh my God, I giggled! "Okay, but he won't succeed with me" I said. The I heard two male voices scream.

"Jake!" I heard Jacob say something like 'oh, no' again and looked up, the two weary wet contours – Quil and Embry – were walking towards us. One was in my height and pretty muscular, and the other one was taller than Jacob, but not like a basketball player and thinner than him. I had no idea who was Quil and who was Embry but the shorter one looked continuously at me. "Who is this?" One of them asked and the other one filled in; "Your girlfriend?"

Jacob glared at the one who said 'Your girlfriend?' "No, Quil. This is Bella" He smiled at me, "and she is just a friend." Okay, then I know who is who; Quil: the shorter and muscular, Embry: the tall and thin.

Quil raised his hand out towards me, I shook it. "I'm Quil, Bella" He said smiling at me. I blushed.

"Hi" I answered. He let go of my hand and Embry raised his for me.

"Hello Bella, I'm Embry" He said while I shook it too.

"Hey, Bella" Quil said, "do you want to bath with me and Emb-" Jacob interrupted him.

"Bella and I were just going to sit at the fallen tree and talk, not go bathing. Besides, Bella doesn't have no swimsuit" I was glad Jacob had said no, I didn't wanted to swim and I wasn't sure Quil would listen to me. I wonder if Quil and Embry are going to the bonfire? Quil looked disappointed.

"It's okay. We should probably go home, switching to dry clothes anyway" Embry said and dragged Quill towards the little houses. While I meet Quil and Embry, it had started getting dark. I wonder what time it is.

"We should probably get back home to Billy and Charlie too. The bonfire should start soon" Jacob said and we turned and walked back the way we had come.
