Anything that's wrong with my stories be specific and tell me nicely. Otherwise it hurts my feelings, and then I go into depression and mom said I won't be able write anymore if I do. I'm 15 cut me some slack.

I also want to point out I forgot about Sue Clearwater so I changed my Social Worker's name to Rue. Sorry for the confusion read and review/alert anything to let me know you care.
Today makes two weeks since my arrival at La push. So far I've made no friends my age and my free time is spent trying to reflect on all the differences from here and all my other foster homes. First off there are a lot of woods and scattered houses. So that means more privacy for me. Secondly, Billy is letting me out at night with no questions. When he did ask I did something I normally don't do. I didn't lie and say I was going for a stroll. I just told him it was complicated and he understood. God, I love that man, he's so nice and understanding. I still don't see how this Jacob guy could run away from all this. He really gets under my skin. If I ever see that boy I'm so going to give him a piece of my mind. Thirdly I'm starting to feel safe and content. All the adults I've met are really nice and accept me for who I am. The area is nice as well. There aren't many robbers and thieves. I never thought I would have the feeling of contentment again. I'm almost afraid to embrace it and accept it. I just hope this lasts for a long time.
I hopped up off my bed and grabbed my swim bag which held my clean shirt, pants, and undergarments. I was now wearing my substitute swim suit. It was an old faded Shirt and ball shorts. I never had a swim suit and to be honest I wouldn't know where to look to buy one.
I made my way to the kitchen and saw Billy, Charlie, and Sue sitting around talking. I had made friends with them rather quickly and found they hung out quite often.
"Where are you going Sky?" Charlie asked taking a sip of his drink.
"To the beach," I stated slipping my shoes on.
"Do you need a lift?" Sue asked, "I'm heading that way."
"If you don't mind," She said good bye and lead me to her car. I hoped into the front and studied her as she drove. I needed to learn good habits since I'm a new driver.
"So do you have your permit yet?" She asked not looking away from the road.
"Yeah I just need a victim to ride with me with nothing to lose." She started to laugh at my comment. I never was a good driver even on a bicycle. I couldn't tell you how many times I fell out, crashed, or forgot how to use the brake.
" I could always take you driving if you wanted?" I know she won't mind but she has a family that needs her and she would be dearly missed if I killed her in a car accident.
"Thanks but I have to decline. I'm afraid you have a family that needs you and as I recall a son in need of driving lessons as well." The car stopped and I could see the beach in sight calling for me.
"I guess you're right. See ya sweetie."
"Thanks for the ride" I ran to the beach and stripped off my shoes when I heard a gut wrenching scream from out in the water. I saw a girl around my age swimming away from a gray fin. My heart stopped and I quickly ran into the water. I spotted a piece of drifting wood and made a small wave bring it to me. I then focused my power to make a bigger wave and get the girl closer to shore. Once in sight I took the branch and hit the shark in the eye. It quickly swam away. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and looked at the girl. She was as panicked as me.
"You….ok…." I panted out, needing a name at the end.
"….Angela, "She was also panting, "Thank…. you… so much"
"You're welcome Angela. I think we should get out of the water before Jaws gets back." I regained my breath walking toward her helping to support her.
"You really shouldn't be out here alone." I stated she laughed.
"Your one to talk, who are you with?"
"I came alone. So I need to practice what I preach big deal. It's my first time at the beach cut me some slack." I said sheepishly.
"So that explains your outfit. You didn't know what to wear so you played it safe?" She said coking her head a little.
"Well no I don't own a swim suit, thus I used what I had." She looked sad and guilty but I hold no anger toward the girl.
"Well then I'm going to take you shopping with me for a swimsuit next time." She said excitedly as we sat down on the safe sand of dry land.
"Sounds like fun." I believe I just found my first friend here.
"I'll call you. What's your cell phone number?" She asked pulling a sandwich bag holding her phone out of her bag.
"I don't have a cell phone, but I do have a home phone number." I told her the number and we talked for a couple hours on different things, like school, how she is attending college after the summer, and about her friends. I soon realized the time and had to say my good bye.
"Sorry Angela I've got to go. See you next Saturday right?" I asked double checking.
"Yep, I'll pick up you and let you drive too so you can practice." I smiled.
"Thanks. Ados âmego." I started to walk into the woods for my nightly routine, happy with my day.
Sowhat is she? Give me ideas, I got one but yours may change mine. So where did the powers come from? Also thank you for your time and I'll try to update soon. :}
