Hello all, I know, I'm posting again in the same day, but I wanted to post a longer section because I won't be posting again until I have the time which could be random. Thank you to my 2 followers and the 2 reviews, meant a lot. :) Read on...

I hold the plastic tray with trembling fingers, why did high school have to be so intimidating and… terrifying. Carefully I let my eyes flick around the cafeteria landing on a group of kids who were all beautiful and pale. A girl with brown hair glanced up at me then to the guy sitting next to her with raised eyebrows. I felt a blush rising up my neck, so that's a no. The rest of the kids were absorbed in finishing last minute homework or discussing the latest gossip.

Swiveling I walked at a fast pace to the bathroom, frustrated tears leaked through closed eyelids. I set the tray on the tiled floor next to me and pick at the piece of greasy pizza, who knew pizza could ever taste so bad?

The door swung open and I suddenly realized how bad it looked to be sitting on the floor of the bathroom eating. A girl who was a couple inches shorter than me danced in then plugged her nose.

She swung her gaze over to me, "Oh, hello. My name is Alice and you are…"

I frowned then watched as she adjusted her silky pixie hair so that it was even more perfect. I had nothing against Alice, but the way she looked at me and talked to me screamed: who the hell are you.

"Tessa," I said softly standing up and abandoning the tray of pizza on the floor. She frowned then proceeded to tuck in her breezy white shirt then untuck it again.

I looked at her then made a beeline towards the door of the bathroom. All right, so maybe the rain had turned into mushy hale, but I didn't care as I ducked with my hood over my hair and made it towards my shiny car.

Smiling, I adjusted the air conditing and backed out of the parking lot and turned onto the road that would lead me to the beach. The warm air blew on my face and I parked on the side of a sandy road. I kicked open the door and felt a salty spray against my legs. I stalked over to the water then plopped down in the sand, the wind picked up and wrapped around me as I stared out at the waves wishing I was back home in California. Mom left years ago, it had always been my dad and I, that had always been the way it was. I was happy, except now I wished for a mom who would give me a hug and understand.

"Its beautiful isn't it?" Someone said behind me, I half-turned and saw a boy my age in faded jeans and no shirt. He had thick black hair that fell a bit over one of his clear eyes and a broad chest rippled with muscles.

I nodded and grabbed my tangled hair, holding it over my shoulder like a twisted up rope, "I haven't seen anything like it before ever in my life. Although I miss my home." He nodded and settled down next to me, I was watching the waves, but he kept sneaking glances at me from the corner of his eye.

"Where did you live?" He asked leaning back on the sand with his hands behind his head. It was terrible, I agreed with myself, I would tell him anything if he asked me. I barley knew him, my mind protested, but I told him anyway.

I tap my chin, "I lived in California with the sun and hot days everyday of the year. I loved it there," I said looking at the huge pines that even surrounded the ocean, "I don't mind it here though."

He chuckled, "I can tell you mind it here, its written all over your face," he paused and looked at me with his eyes widened like he had just seen a third arm growing out of my forehead.

"What? What is it?" I asked patting my face expecting to come up with a huge insect in my hair or something. A gale pressed against my back and I shuddered in the cold.

He scooted closer and wrapped an arm around my shoulders holding me close, "Nothing, its nothing," he used his free arm and leaned back on it, "you looked freezing."

"I am, but I barley know you," I said tightly standing up and pushing his arm off, "I don't even know your name." I started back towards the car backwards and his silhouette started to disappear in the heavy winds that swept around us.

I hear him shout, "'Jacob, my name is Jacob!"

Smiling I answered, "Tessa, its Tessa!" And maybe my day wasn't so bad.

So she meets Jacob... Who knows what happens next? Review please.
