Chapter 3.

Disclaimer: I do not own twilight…*sigh*

Bella P.O.V

Hehe first I would like to thank nessie-jacob-truelove. I did Las Vegas in like the first chappy. Well I may make that mistake in the future so ignore me and remember it's LOS ANGELES !! J Thank you !

I stood there like a mute dummy while Paul starred at me. And when I mean stared. I mean stared! He Didn't even feel embarrassed about it, which was new for me.

"OMG OMG OMG OMG !! I know that look !" The girl named Kim squealed while jumping up and down and hugging me. Uh..Awkward turtle.

I stood there like an idiot unaware of what the look was. I heard a low growl and the rest were either cheers or howls of laughter. Jacob growled. Jared howled. The rest cheered. What the hell.

"Paul. What the fuck!?" Jacob hissed in his face and I noticed he was shaking violently. I walked over to him and rested a hand on his shoulder which instantly stopped his shaking and he calmed down. Good to know I still can do that. I smiled mentally to myself and looked towards everyone else.

"Well what the fuck do you want me to do ! It's not like I had a say in this !" Paul growled while mumbling some weird words at the end. The only thing I caught was , "Happy as hell"

I stood there awkwardly while they all whispered things to each other as if having a private discussion.

Leah kept smiling at me in freaky way. Every time she would look at me, her smile could get bigger and bigger each time. Like those cartoons. Hehe.

"Uhm Hello. Still here people!" I yelled out which ended all the whispering and they looked at me shocked and wide eyed. Did I have something on my face. I rubbed at my cheek but there was nothing,

"Uh oh sorry Bells." Seth shook his head in confusion.

"Well we can sort these things out later. Now Let's start the bonfire." Sam explained. He seemed like the leader of the group. Everyone followed his orders and respected him as if a god.

"Riiiight" I drawled out eyeing them suspiciously. I felt a pair of warm arms around my waist and looked up to see Jacob grinning at me. All thoughts of mischief left my mind and I couldn't help but smile back. Jake was known to have a infectious smile which made the other people smile.

While the guys started the fire, Emily and I spread out the blankets and pillows while Leah sorted out the food. Emily was very nice and we seemed to have almost everything in common. After we finished I headed over to Leah who was organizing the food around the group. Hot Dogs. Drinks. Chips. Crackers. Marshmallows. Ice Cream. Burgers. Water. Ice. And a whole bunch of candy. Leave it to Jake to buy half the food store.

I rolled my eyes and say down beside Jacob and Leah starring at the licking flames.

"So Bella. Tell us about yourself." Embry said while winking at me. I giggled and nodded.

"Uhm well my full name is Isabella Marie Hale, but I prefer Bella. Uh I moved here well because my mom wanted to travel with my step- dad, Phil Dwyer and I didn't want to get in between them. And well it has been in a while since I saw Charlie so I made a few phone calls and well here I am !" I explained in one breath.

"WOAH ! DID YOU SAY PHIL DWYER ! LIKE THE PHIL DWYER !? THE LINEBACKER FOR THE PIRATES. SHIT !" Quil shouted while shaking me violently. I laughed and nodded. Jacob rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Damn. You're his step-daughter. My life just got 23 times better." Jared said while winking at me. I shook my head and smiled.

"Sure Jared. I mean my friends always get to go to free games and stuff." All the guys eyes' widened is surprise and I smiled innocently.

"Bella?" Quil spoke up while walking right in front of me looking all dead serious. I gulped and arched my eyebrow.

"Yeah?" I asked unsurely.

"I. Love. You." He spoke in all seriousness. I let out the huge amount of air I was holding in and sighed.

"God Quil. I thought you were gunna tell me you were dying." Everyone chuckled as if I just made a joke.

"I can't die so easily." Quil stated while winking at me which caused a growl to erupt from the Adonis himself, Paul.

"Pass the hot dogs Bella!" Jake grumbled with food in his mouth. I smacked him upside the head.

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Kim laughed and nodded her head to Jared who was stuffing his face with a sly grin.

"It's going to be awesome having you around." I giggled as she tackled me.

"So Bella which school will you be going to ?" Sam asked me while laying his head down on Emily's lap. They were so darn cute !

"Eastside High School. How about you guys?" I asked while sitting on Jake's lap. I couldn't help but notice the glares and growls coming from Paul. Geesh.

"Leah, Emily, and I are in college while the right of these dogs will be going to your school." Everyone laughed at him. These people really love these inside jokes don't they?

"Yeah. Seth, Collin, and Brady are in 10th grade while the rest of us are in 11th."

"Who are Collin and Brady?" I asked him. That's a big gang they have.

"They're on vacation at the moment. They're brothers." Leah said next to me. I nodded while taking another bite out of the smores Emily made.

The rest of the night continued with games, pranks, and of course more eating.

"Oh Em Gee. That reminds me ! Leah and I are going to go see the movies this weekend. You guys in ?" I asked Kim and Emily.

"Yeah. Cool. Totally." Kim nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Oh Oh ! I wanna go !" Jacob and Paul threw a marshmallow at his face.

"Don't be a baby" And that started the round of laughter while Jacob pouted.

"So what movies are you guys gonna go see?" Pau asked clearly looking at me.

"The Last Song" I stated cheerfully. All the guys groaned and glared at us.

"Bella. You crossed over to the dark side." Quil frowned and I smiled slyly.

"Commmeee tooo thhheeee darrrkkkkk sssssiiiddeeee. Weee havvveee coooooookkkiiiesss!!!" Leah hissed with caution. I laughed so hard I had tears coming down on my face.

"Oh my god!" Emily gasped while hanging on to Sam for support who was frowning.

Next thing I know something soft hit my nose. I looked down. A chocolate chip cookie.

I looked up to find my next victim. I saw Paul whistling tunelessly while starring up at the trees. Oh let the games begin Adonis.

"Oh no you didn't!" I yelled while tackling him to the ground. That was a bad idea on my part for two reasons. First, he was like rock hard and it kind of hurt. Second, he pinned me to the ground and started tickling me. Everyone knows how ticklish I am, and I am not proud of it.

"I - I'm Sorry." Why should I be sorry anyway ? Oh well. That tickling hurt my tummy.

"Good girl" he said while patting my hair. I stood up and glared at him.

"Good doggie." I said while pretending to pet him. He pouted and sat there like a kid who didn't get any cake for his birthday. Awe poor kid..

Everyone watched with amusement, their eyes dancing between us. I blushed furiously while Jake began bursting out in laughter.

"Awe. Bella still blushes like a bride on her wedding day" I threw a piece of candy at him.

"Ouch" He stated simply while rubbing his forehead.

We all laughed and I smiled brightly.

I had a feeling this would be a great start for my new life, and not once did I think about my past which was a plus. Jacob gave me a knowing glance and I smiled at him. Adding Paul to the mix would just make life 34 times better.
