New People

"So, watch ya' gonna make for dinner Stina?" Marjorie asked.

"How bout' some burgers and steaks with white rice? And for dessert, I can make my home made cookie brownies and vanilla chocolate swirl cake with vanilla cream frosting?" I asked her, uncertain with my choices.

"Ugh, I swear, if I eat your food everyday I'm going to turn into a fattie! But oh well, I say make them both cause they are both too delicious to choose from." She says rubbing her flat stomach like a lazy woman.

"Kay. How bout' we go look in the meat section first?"

"Sure lets go." While we're there, I see someone staring at me from across the meat section. The girl is obviously Quilette with long eye lashes, dark shoulder length black hair and tan brown eyes. She's actually really pretty. When she catches me staring back at her, she blushes and walks over to me.

"Um hi." She says

"Hi?" awkward "I'm sorry but do I know you?" I ask while trying to not soumd rude.

"Um well I-I-I um, I am going out with Jared Cameron and he says that he has a little sister and even showed me a picture, and that girl looks like you. So um are you Christina Lahote?" She asks unsure and in a rush.

Jared has a girlfriend? Why didn't he tell me, was he embarresed of me?

"Um yea i'm Christina Lahote. Its nice to meet you..."

"Kimberly Conweller. But please call me Kim." She says as she shakes my hand "Its so nice to finally meet you! Your brothers always talk about you. I guess I can see why, your beautiful!"

I blushed "Thanks Kim. Oh and this is my bestfriend Marjorie. I wonder why my brother never told me about you. Hmmmm... Hey Kim?"

"Yes Christina?"

"Okay first off, please do not call me Christina or Tina, and secondly, would you like to come over for dinner at my house tonight? We could trick Jared..." I told/asked her.

"Sure I would love too." She smiled deviously.

"Okay let me just grab the rest of the stuff and pay, then we can head to my place."

she nods before walking to go pay forn her things.

"Okay lets go." I say as I finish paying the cashier.

The car ride was fun, full of joking and how we're going to surprise Jared.

"Okay, you all good with the plan?" I ask as we park outside my house.

"Yup" They both reply.

As soon as I walk inside my house, I am met with my little girl tumbling into my legs and squeezing the life out of them.

I chuckled "Your back! I missed you Ate" (Ah-Teh means older sister)

"Aw baby girl, I told you I will always come back to you and I missed you too!" I tell her while hugging her back then let her go to put all the groceries away into the kitchen with Marj behind me.

"Hey you guys!" She yells while walking with me

"Hey Marj!" Paul, Jared, Jazzy, and Leila yell back.

"Soo can I get a nice 'Hello hug' from my two idiots?" Marj asked.

They chuckled "Sure."

Paul hugged her first then Jared. But while Jared and Marjorie were hugging I "Coughed" which was the signal for Kim to come in for the prank.

She came through the door " Knock knock Ja -gasp- I knew it! You are cheating on me! You jerk! We are over! UGH!" Wow she's a pretty good actress.

Jared's face was priceless! His mouth was wide open his eyes were pleading and flabbergasted. It was hilarious!

"WHAT! No no no no no no itts not like that at all Kimmy! Please understand! She's not even that pretty compared to you. Hell, she is hideous compared to your beauty. I swear I would never cheat on you, I LOVE YOU!" He practically begged her while on his knees nfront of her.

I couldn't take it anymore, I started to laugh my butt off and so did Kim but Marj looked angry.

"OH MY GODDESS! You should have seen your face! AHAHAHAHA!"

"Wait what?" Said the confused Jared.

"Well dear brother of mine, Marjorie and I meet Kimmy here at the market. And I had apparently found out that you have been dating her for about a year and haven't told me a single thing about you dating. Care to explain?" I told him accusingly.

"Well I um, you see, um yeah..."

I raised my eyebrow at his answer " Mhm I see. Well since you don't have a good enough answer, you are not getting any of my pastries tonight. Oh and you you still have to talk to Marj because you just called her hideous right infront of her face.' I say as I sit down next to Seth who beams a bright smile of happiness at me. I smile back.

"Oh i'm sorry Marj! You know I didn't mean any of it."

"Mhm. Jared Cameron, you better watch your back and sleep with one eye open tonight cause there will be consiquences. She says then turns to the rest of the group "Hi! I'm Marjorie, Stina and Jazzy's bestfriend."

"Heys" "Hi's" and "What up's" were said. But I think Jacob's was the weirdest.

He said "H-i-i-i-i-i" while stuttering and looking at her with wide adoring eyes.

"Okay!" I clap my hands "All ladies please come with me to the kitchen and help cook and boys, do NOT break anything or else." I threaten them while smiling evily.

They all gulp and nod they're heads.

So while the girls were all setting up in the kitchen, I grabbed some aprons, Hair-ties, my i-pod, and the chord to connect it to the speakers in my kitchen. (Yes I really have speakers in my kitchen and its awesome) While I was grabbing the items, all the guys were staring at me like I was crazy for needing all those things. I just shrugged and closed the sliding door to my kitchen after I fully entered it.

"Okay girlies, please tie your hair into a ponytail or braid and put these aprons on." I say as I pass them around.

"Ate, can you braid my hair please?" Leila asked sweetly.

"Of course sweetheart." I braided her hair into a neat fishtail that made her mid-back hair look like it was shoulder length.

"So, we are making about 30 burgers and about 15 huge steaks. While we use the stove for the meats, we will be making my recipe for cookie brownies and 2 vanilla chocolate swirl cakes with a vanilla cream frosting on top. Is that okay with everyone?" They all nod "Okay so Kim, Emily, and I will work on the meats while Marj, Jazzy, and Leila will make the desserts. Kay?"

"Ummm Stina, we don't know how to make your desserts." Said Marj.

"Don't worry, i'll tell you guys what to do step by step." I told them reasurringly.

"Kay so lets get started, but first, what song do you guys wanna play first?"

They all shrug. So since Paul and them have weird hearing, i should probably ask them. I peek my head out the door and asked "Hey what do you guys wanna listen to?"

"How about the song you've been working on the beat for? have you finished it?" Jared asked

"Ummm maybe" I blush

"Than play that song"

"Fine but this song is about my old feelings for 'Him'" I told him

Hey Marj go to "My Playlist" and play my song 'Gone'."

"Kay" She hollered

What you see's not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you
Always ending
Always over
Back and forth, up and down like a rollercoaster
I am breaking
That habit
Today

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it, babe
Take the hit and walk away
'Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

What you see's not what you get
What you see's not what you get

I'm singing in my living room where the boys can see me and just gathering things I need and could throw away.

You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You were wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
Oh, I'm already gone, gone, gone, gone
Already gone
I'm gone

When I finish singing I look around and notice everybody staring at me with shocked and surprised expressions. Was it that bad?

"Was I really that bad?" Now i'm embarressed

"What? No no no no no! You were freaking awesome! We're just shocked cause we didn't know you could sing like that." Seth said

"Oh well thanks Seth" I blush

"No problem i'm only speaking the truth. Anyways, would you like a rain check on hanging out? I really still want to get to know you." He tells me. The way he loks at me is so sweet and makes me feel like i'm the only girl in the world. His eyes held adoration, love, and hope in them. His eyes were a deep emerald green with flecks of gold in the middle. They were hypnotizing.

"Seth, is that your shy way of asking me out on a date?" If he can flirt, I might as well flirt back.

He looked caught off gaurd for a second before composing himself with a blush on his tan handsome face.

"Yes it is but let me say it again. Stina, would you like to go out with me this Friday on a date?" Hope still gleaming in his eyes.

"I would love to go out with you on a date." I state with a wink as I walk back into the kitchen to finish making the food. Did I really just do that? Wow it felt kinda good to say yes. I mean, Seth seems like the kind of guy who is always happy with a smile on his face but can change in a second to protect his loved ones.

"OOOH Stina... you got a date with Seth eh?" Jazzy spoke as she walked in with the rest of the girls.

"Yeah, I thought you don't date anymore." Marj teased

"There is an exception for everything." I tell them " And both of you shush. Don't think that I didn't notice you both staring at Embry and Jake, cause i SOOO did" I said smirking.

"Fine..." They grumbled knowing I was right. Haha.

We all finished cooking and baking while singing and dancing at the same time. It was actually pretty fun considering we all fell at least oce and the boys would burst through the door always alert. It only started off with Marjorie falling then when we saw how the boys acted we purposely fell at least once.

"Lets get our food first then let the boys in." Emily tells us. We all agreed and got our food. My plate consisted of 1 medium steak and a serving of white rice. Same for Marjorie whie the other girls including Leila had gotten a steak and burger with no rice. I only eat rice because I practically lived with Marjories family who are Filipino and eat rice a lot. I don't see anything wrong with rice, I LOVE RICE! Marjorie, Paul, Jared, Jazzy, and Devin (My best guy friend) always joke around telling me i'm really Filipino in the inside but Quilluette on the outside. Meanies :(

As soon as we walk out with our food the boys instantly get up, i tutted them. "Listen boys. If any of you, and I mean ANY of you touch my baked goods, I will go crazy and you will not be allowed to eat any. Got that?"

"Fine..." They all say reluctantly

I smile and move away from the door "Okay go ahead and dig in."

Everybody was settled in, eating in my living room having fun and talking. I sat myslef next to Seth and let our arms touch slightly. I smirked when I felt him shiver. So I started small talk with him and we eventually started playing 20 questions. He asked and I answered.

"Favorite movie?"

"The Freedom Writers, Cat In The Hat, and all Paranormal Activity movies."

"Favorite color(s)?

"Green, teal, purple, blue, and grey"

"Favorite word?"

"Georgeous and amazing"

"Favorite Band?"

"Paramore"

"Favorite girl singer?"

"Beyonce"

"Favorite guy singer?"

"Ne-yo"

"Favorite animal?"

"Wolf"

"Really? Why?" He asked woth interest. I also noticed that everyone was now silent awaiting my answer.

"I actually don't know. I just love how they can look soft and friendly one second then fierce and ready to pounce in the next one. I have even been dreaming of a wolf. Its a sandy color wolf that always protects me in my dreams. Sorry, I probably sound delusional and idiotic." I apologized.

"No you don't. Your perfectly fine and believe me when I say that anything is possible."

I looked at him puzzled by what he said but let it go anyways. I learned a long time ago that secrets are kept until one is ready to tell another, and right now, Jared, Paul, and Seth are not ready to tell me yet. Its okay though, i'm patient.

"Thankyou Seth" I whisper as I lean on his arm. I don't know how long I stayed there but it just felt right. I finally looked at the clock to find that it was almost 3 O'clock.

I yawned "You guys can stay as long as you want but I think its time for me and Leila to go to bed. You guys too Marj, Jazzy." They had yawns of they're own and just nodded they're heads in reply.

"Alrighty then, it was nice meeting you guys and I hope we can all hang out again soon."

"I do too sweety. Maybe you can come with your brothers to the next bonfire."

"I would love to Emily. Night ya'll!"

"Stina wait!"

I turn around, shocked by the sudden yell for my name. I turn around to face the one and only Seth Clearwater.

"Yes Seth?"

He grabs me into a tight hug and I suprisingly hug him back. "Goodnight Stina."

I felt a smile creep on my face as I bury it in his chest "Goodnight Seth"

After what seems like forever, I let go of him and wave to everyone before I got into my room.

The last thing I thought about before I went to sleep was of Seth...

What do you think? Should I add a Seth P.O.V.? Review!

2 reviews = Medium chapter

3 = medium chapter w/ Seth P.O.V.

4 = Super long chapter w/ Seth and Paul's P.O.V.
