Kwop Kilawtley, Chapter 3: The Bonfire
Jacob held my hand while we walked. We didn't talked at all. Actually, I was pretty nervous for the bonfire. When we got back to the house Charlie and Billy was on their way out. They looked up when they saw us and – not a big surprise – Charlie's eyes were on our hands. But Billy didn't seemed to care about it.
"What have you kids been up to?" He asked. Jacob answered directly.
"We were supposed to just sit on the beach and talk, but Quil and Embry stopped us." Jacob seemed very upset about this. Why? There was not like we did something that important.
"It's okay, Jacob. It was just fun to meet your friends" I said, trying to cheer him up. It worked, he immediately looked happier, "I think we should go now. Were is this bonfire anyway?" I said.
"This way" Jacob answered. I, Jacob, Billy and Charlie got there together. At first, I thought that we was on our way to the beach again. If the bonfire was on the beach, why didn't we just waited there instead of going back to Charlie and Billy? When we got to the there, I saw a big fire. But it wasn't at the beach, it was up on the cliff over the water. It's a good thing I'm not afraid of heights. Lucky for Billy, there was a trail all the way up. Jacob pushed Billy up to the cliff while I and Charlie walked behind. When we got up, I looked around. There was many people there. I only recognized three of them. Quil, Embry, Harry and Sue Clearwater. I had meat Sue and Harry before, they were friends to Charlie and had bean at our house a couple of times.
"Jake, Bella!" Quil shouted, of course. We walked there while Charlie and Billy got over to Sue and Harry. There sat four other boys around Quil and Embry, and... a girl? Well, it will be nice with not only boys.
"Hey guys" Jacob said, "this is Bella – Bella, this is Sam, Jared, Paul, Seth and Leah" he said, pointing every one of them out.
"Hi" I said and blushed. I decided to sit down by Jacob. When I sat down, he and all the other boys already had started talking about cars. Apparently, Jared needed help with a car he was building. I didn't understood one world they were saying. Well, I understood things like 'yes', 'no', 'you should do that', 'and this', stuff like that. I wonder why the girl, Leah, is here. She doesn't seems to have a good time. Shall I go over to sit with her? As an answer to my questions Leah looked up. When she saw that I was looking at her, she glowered at me, stood up and walked away. What did I do wrong?
"Were did Leah go?" Sam asked, he sounded almost relieved. I wonder why.
"I don't know" I answered, "when she looked up at me she looked angry. Then she just walked away" Sam's eyes got stuck on something behind me and he smiled. I turned around and saw a beautiful girl with dark long hair and brown eyes walking towards us. (A/N: Since there are no werewolves is this story, Emily doesn't have a scar in her face). She had a cute smile on her face as she sat down next to Sam.
"Hello Emily" Sam said and kissed her on the lips.
"Om my God! My eyes!" Paul shouted.
"Get a room!" Quil said. Sam glared at them and kissed Emily one more time, probably just to annoy them. Emily looked at me were I sat next to Jacob with a friendly 'who are you' look. I put my arm out. When she took it I said
"Hi Emily. I'm Bella, Bella Swan" She smiled at me and at that moment I knew we were going to be best friends not like me and Jacob, but she would be number two on my friend list... if I had one. I smiled back but once I thought about my "friends" in Forks High my smile disappeared. I had no friends there. You could say that I'm being bullied, it's not like they are dropping my books in the toilet or something but they just ignore me and Jessica and Lauren tend to laugh at me. Emily's smiled disappeared to.
"Are you okay?" She asked while studying me with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I lied but she didn't believed me.
"I can see that you're not okay. And since I know that Jacob is the one you came here with I'm wondering; do you want to talk to Jacob or to me?" She asked in a friendly but firm voice. I knew she wasn't gonna give up so I sighed.
"I can talk to you, it would be nice to talk to a girl" I said. Emily nodded and got up on her feet. She held out a hand to help me up.
"I'll be right back" I said to Jacob and got up. When we were on the other side of the cliff, were we were all alone Emily spook.
"Bella, what's wrong?" She asked. I didn't knew why, but I told her everything, even if I just meat her three minutes ago.
"Okay, there was this guy, his name was Edward Cullen" it didn't hurt saying his name! "he was this guy every girl in school wanted including me, and for some reason he chose me. We were dating and loved each other – well, that was what I thought. One day, after my eighteenth birthday, he took me for a walk int the forest. There he said he didn't loved me and his family were moving. After that no girl liked me, probably because Edward had chosen me, and all the boys just ignored me. I have no friends at all, besides Jacob and now you." I had started crying. Emily took one step forward and tighten her arms around me in a hug.
"I'm so sorry, Bella" she said, "you should switch schools to Quileute High." (A/N: In my story, Jake, Quil, Embry and Seth are one year younger than Bella, Paul and Jared are 18 as Bella and Sam and Emily are 19. But all of the go to school anyway, let's just pretend you're 19 when you graduate) "Paul and Jared are the same age as you so you could probably have a few classes with them" Emily loosened her grip around me and looked down at me. She smiled. That was actually not a bad idea. I think I would talk to Charlie about that tomorrow. I smiled back at her, much happier now.
"I actually like that idea" I said to her. Emily smiled even wider and dragged me back to the boys. They looked curiously at us when we sat down, next to each other this time.
"What were you talking about?" Jacob asked. Me and Emily just smiled. This was fun, if we could keep this a secret, they would almost die of curiosity.
"We want to know!" Quil cried of impatience. Emily seemed to think this was fun to, because now she laughed.
"Should we tell them, Bella?" She asked looking at me.
"No, we could have a little fun with it" I laughed.
"Come on!" Embry said, "Yeah, tell us!" Jared agreed. Both me and Emily shock our heads. Sam seemed to remember something, he got up on his feet and walked over to sit next to Emily. He leaned his head towards her and whispered;
"Pleeeease, Em" and then kissed her, he was definitely using hes "boyfriend skills" but he didn't succeeded. When Emily broke the kiss she shock her head again.
"Do you really think it would be so easy?" she asked pretending to sound disappointed.
"I was hoping" he answered. Suddenly Quil got up on his feet.
"This is boring, eider I want to know what you talked about or I want to go swimming" he said. Swimming would be fun.
"Swimming sounds fun" I said. Jacob winked at Quil and smiled an evil smile. Oh no.
"I'm in" Jacob said.
Emily looked at Sam, he nodded. "We're in too" she said. We all looked at Paul, Jared, Embry and Seth.
"Naa" Seth said, "I think I'll pass this time" he said.
"I have to go home, work on my car" Jared said.
"We'll help you" Paul and Embry said.
"Okay, then it's me, Jake, Bella, Sam and Emily" Quil said and smiled, "let's go." We started walking down to the beach. What should I wear when I was swimming? All my clothes would be all wet.
"Hey, Bella!" Emily called. I stopped and turned towards her and Sam who walked behind me and Jacob.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to borrow a swimsuit? I think we have the same size and I'm going home to change" That was a relief. I needed a swimsuit.
"Sure" I said, "I'll go with you" Again, I leaved Jacob to go with Emily, I don't hope I'm hurting his feelings. It only took a couple of minutes to get to Emily's house. When we got there, I followed Emily into her bed room. It was pretty small, with a bed made out of trees and a wardrobe, mirror and agency out of the same sort of tree. I liked it, it looked very cozy. I walked to the bad and sat down.
"Do you want a yellow with brown stripes or white whit black dots on it?" She asked when she turned to me, holding one swimsuit in every hand.
"I think I'll take the with one..." I said. She gave it to me and showed me the way to the bath room. When I got in, I took all of my clothes off and took the swimsuit on. It sat perfect around my body. I put my shorts and top back on and got out to Emily who was waiting in her room.
"Did it fit on you?" She asked and looked at me.
"Yes, perfectly" I answered. She nodded and walked into the bath room. When she got out again she had two towels with her.
"Here you are" she said and handled me one of them.
When we got down to the beach again, the boys was already in the water, splashing it at each other. I looked very childish but still fun. We laid our towels in the sand and took all our clothes of, except for the swimsuits of course. I went down to the water and put my foot in it. I froze.
"Oh my God! It's freezing!" I said. The boys hadn't noticed us before, but now their heads snapped up. Emily came to stand by my side.
"You have to get in the water fast, if you do it slowly it will seem colder than it is" she said and ran out in the water. When it was up over her hips, she dived into it. She broke out of the water and smiled at me.
"No way, I'm not doing that!" I said and started walking up towards my towel when a wet and cold hand took a strong grip around my arm. I looked up and saw Jacob. He lifted me up in his arms and started walking out in the water. He was freezing, just like the water. He smile that evil smile again and I understood what he was doing. He was throwing me in!
"No, Jake, no. Please, no" I begged but it didn't helped so instead I shouted "NO! JAKE, DON'T!!" in a horrified voice. All of a sudden, he let me go. In tenth of a second I was relived that he had let go of off me but hen my hole body was like an ice cub. Oh no, my hole body was under the water. I pushed up out of it and took a deep breath then I glared at Jacob.
"That was not fun!" I cried but everybody already laughed.
