It was a normal Wednesday morning. It was a late day, so I slept until nine. I took a quick shower and changed into my normal, conservative outfit.

Embry came to pick me up from Emily's house. I said goodbye to her quickly and then ran into Embry's car. He gave me a peck on the cheek and then on the lips.

"Good morning, Payton," he greeted. "How's my beautiful girl?"

It was obvious he could see the red on my cheeks. Even though we'd been going out for several months, I still blushed at how sweet he was.

"I'm fine," I replied. "How are you?"
"Perfect now that you're here." My cheeks got redder. "Are you ready for school?"

"I guess." I threw my hair behind my shoulders. "Who ever is?"

"Touché," he laughed. "So, what are you planning to do this week?"

"I don't know," I replied honestly. "I think the girls and I will hang out. Why?"

"Because we have to go out for a few days to take care of some things," he replied casually.

"So you're leaving me?" I asked.

"No, not leaving you. If you want to come, you can, but it'll be a bunch of guy stuff. Even Sam's going. None of the other guys are letting their girls come though. They want it to be a guys weekend or something. Is that okay with you, baby doll?"

"I guess. I know Cameryn's been sick, so I don't want to bother her. Maybe Kimmy and I could hang out."

"Do whatever you want baby." He pulled into a parking spot at the school. "Anything is fine with me."

"Thanks," I kissed his cheek before we got out of the car. It was our last few months of high school, and I was as excited as ever. I wasn't going to college, but Embry and I decided we were going to move in together because there were a few houses for sale in the La Push area, and even in Forks. I would get a job, and so would he, and we would spend our days together. It would be amazing.

"No problem." He came and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Let's go."

We met up with everyone except for Paul and Cameryn. Paul had been ditching school to help Cameryn in her time of need. I thought it was sweet, but I hoped Embry would never do that. School was way too important to him for him to miss any, especially if the school he missed was any of his AP classes. There was too much work to be done for him if he did miss any. Paul, on the other hand, didn't care much about school. He was smart, to say the least, but a little full of himself.

I went through a whole day of school without seeing Embry. I ate lunch with Kim and Taya. Kimmy said that the boys had something they needed to take care of, so they ditched the rest of the day at school. All I said was that I wasn't going to listen to Embry's complaining when he finds out all the homework he had from his AP classes. Both Taya and Kimmy agreed with me on that one.

Kimmy drove me back to her place after school. I met up with her after my Geometry class along with Taya. Apparently Kim was the only one who was independent enough to drive herself to school in the mornings.

When we got to Kimmy's house I greeted her mother and then we all rushed upstairs. She had a stash of Godiva chocolates she had stolen from her mother.

"They've been just sitting there for three whole days," she told us as she popped one into her mouth. "No one was going to eat them. Besides they're delicious." She shoved the box at us. "Go ahead, take a bite."

So we ate chocolates the entire time. We actually ended up sleeping over. Kim was so good at sneaking things into her room. She had a bottle of French wine in her closet and a few drinking glasses.

"I've been saving it for a special occasion," she said. "This is special occasion enough." She poured the three glasses. "Cheers to no boys and no worries."

We drank the full bottle of wine, and we still weren't drunk enough. Kim went down and snuck some tequila from her parents. We drank a little of that until we all crashed and fell asleep. It was the most fun I had had in a while, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

After I woke up the next morning I woke everyone else up. It was seven o'clock and school started at eight. They were all mad that I woke them up, but I didn't care too much. They needed to get up, and I needed to take a shower.

So I gave them thirty minutes to sleep again until I woke them up for good. They were still tired and a little hung over. Thank God we were seniors and had really easy schedules.

School was lonely without Embry. He texted me the night before and told me that he was going to be back soon. I still wanted him back, though, and I couldn't take not being with him. It was too much for me not to see him.

Kim helped me get through the day though. Cameryn was back at school, even though she was still sick. She said she couldn't afford to miss any more school.

We hung out after school again, this time without any alcohol and with Cameryn. She cuddled in Kimmy's lap and put her legs on top of my thighs.

"I feel like crap," she whined. "I wanna go to sleep."

"Then go to sleep," Kimmy ran her hands through her hair.

"I can't." She turned on her back. "I can't go to sleep."

"I'm sorry." She looked at me and shook her head. I giggled.

"Stop laughing at me." She turned back on her side and hid her head. "Grr."

"We'll stop laughing when you stop being funny," Kim laughed.

"Fine" She pouted.

Kimmy and I looked at each other again and laughed.
