Scarlet POV
It was almost midnight now as I lay on the couch, completely stuffed. I had eaten about three sandwiches and had a bowl of ice cream. Bella still wasn't home and I was starting to get worried. She didn't have a cell so I couldn't call her to see where she was. I sat up with a frustrated sigh and started to pace the living room, glancing at the clock over and over again. It felt like it hadn't moved form the same spot.
I was about to call Dad when I heard the front door click open. "Oh, thank God." I muttered as I set the phone back on the charger and hurried out of the kitchen to the front door. "Bella!" I stopped when I saw Bella in the doorway… with Edward Cullen behind her.
Bella stopped when she saw me and bit her lip. "Umm… I thought you'd be asleep by now, Scar." She said timidly.
I crossed my arms. It wasn't defensive but just kinda pissed off. "Yeah and I thought you'd be home by now." I replied curtly.
She blushed. I glanced up at Edward, who gave me a strange look. "Edward drove me home. We ran into him in Port Angeles and Jess and Angela wanted to go home but I-I wanted to stay and look around some more s-so he said he'd drive me home and-" I held my hand up to stop her rushed rant.
"It's fine." I sighed. "I'm just glad you're home and I can now sleep on a clear conscience." I walked past them and up the stairs. "And make sure he leaves. I don't want Dad coming home and finding you two snuggling." I smirked as I shut my door behind me. After getting changed I flopped on my bed and passed out before I could even get under the covers.

I was having a very lovely dream when I felt someone shaking my shoulder rather roughly. "Go away…" I groaned, swatting the hand away. I felt the air around me rush as I went crashing to the floor. "Owww…" my voice was muffled by the carpet in my face.
I heard a very familiar voice chuckle. "Should've gotten up." It sang.
I pushed up to a sitting position to glare at three idiots that shoved me off my bed and were now lounging on my bed. "Get your nasty feet off of my bed, Embry Call!" Em looked at his sneaker-clad feet and shrugged. I growled. "I am going to kill you, Embry, if you do not remove your disgusting shoes from my bed!" I screeched.
That got him to move all right. He jumped off the bed so fast that I got dizzy just watching him. "Letty, what did I tell you about killing your friends?" Charlie called from downstairs.
I sighed exasperatedly. "Once I'm done with the body to drag it far into the woods and bury it deep in the ground then come back here and get rid of the evidence the same way, in different locations."
I looked over to see Embry's horrified face. Dad laughed from downstairs. "That's my girl."
I smirked at the guys. "Now. Out! I have to get dressed." I said pushing them out of my room then locking the door behind them. "Morons." I muttered under my breath as I pulled out my plaid shirt with a waist belt, jeans, purple hoop earrings, my emerald handbag and brown peep toe heel-boots. I straitened my hair and headed down stairs for the day. "Seattle, today?" I guessed as the guys lounged on the couch.
"Yep." Quil replied, popping the 'p'.
I rolled my eyes as I pulled out my phone. "Let me call Kim then." I punched in her number and held the phone to my ear.
"Why?" Embry whined. Jacob hadn't said a word the whole time he was here. He just kept looking around like he was waiting for something… or someone.
Bella padded down the stairs and Jacob's head flew in her direction. My heart clenched and I responded to Embry. "Because we never go to Seattle without the other." I played off my heartache with a shrug and an attempt to look nonchalant. After getting things straitened out with Kim I hung up and herded the guys to my car.
Jake put a hand on my arm before I could reach the car. I turned to be greeted by his hundred-watt smile. "Hey… has Bella been saying anything about…well… me?" he asked sheepishly.
"Umm…" How was I going to tell him about Bella not even noticing him? How she was looking at Edward last night? Like she was a schoolgirl with a crush?
The answer was that I couldn't. Not to Jacob. "Yeah… she asks about you every now and then." Once I said it I wished I hadn't.
His face broke out in a huge shit-eating grin. I tried to not let it effect me because he was so happy to just have her ask about him but I'm with him every day and he couldn't care less because I'm not her. We all piled into the Rover. I put all the guys in the back cause Kim was going to sit in the passenger seat. I pulled up the long drive to her dad's house and honked the horn about twenty times. "I'm comin, I'm comin!" she yelled out the door angrily before ducking back in. We all groaned in frustration before she came back out.
"Took you long enough." Embry muttered from the back seat. Kim turned in her seat to glare at him. The ride to Seattle was a long one to say the least. Kim and Embry kept going back and forth with comments about everything.
And as Quil has pointed out numerous times in our friendship, "They bicker like an old married couple." I was fighting a migraine by the time we actually got to the mall.
"Thank God." Jake, Quil, and I all muttered as we got out of the car. Kim is shy and all at school but man she can talk when she wants to.
"He is so irritating." She muttered to me as we started for the mall. If she was a cartoon character you could see the smoke billowing from her ears.
I laughed and shook my head when we entered the mall. "You two have no idea how perfect you are for each other." That earned me glares from both Embry and Kim. Quil and Jake both chuckled at my misfortune but I shrugged it off and grabbed Kim to pull her into Hot Topic.
"Why did we have to bring him along? You know how we are." I rolled my eyes as I scanned the CD's. Kim was referring to their previous "relationship". We're still not sure what happened cause neither will talk about it. All we know is that they had some falling out that has both of them glaring at he other when in the same room- or in our previous case, car.
"We brought him along because he's our friend. Just because you guys can't put whatever the hell happened between you two in the past doesn't mean we have to suffer." I said as I grabbed the Black Veil Brides CD. Kim huffed as I walked to the tee shirts.
"Yeah, but he's just so-"
"Kim!" I snapped. "If you're expecting me to choose sides then I can't because I don't even know what happened to you guys. All I know is that one day you two were the perfect couple and then the next you're calling each other horrible names and glaring daggers. If you want me to choose a side then you need to tell me what the hell happened to you two." I demanded firmly as I stomped my foot for emphasis. I rarely got angry, with Kim of all people.
She did the Kim thing and avoided eye contact by looking at her feet.
I caved. No matter how mad I was about the bickering between them I was still Kim's friend. "Kimmy… was it really that bad?" I asked softly. She nodded in return. I held in a groan because I knew this was going to call for a shit load of chocolate and ice cream when she was ready to tell me.
I went back to looking through the shirts as Kim waited patiently beside me. I glanced back at her to see that she was still staring at her shoes. Sighing I grabbed the shirt I wanted and grabbed her by the arm to drag her to checkout. I set the things on the counter and dug through my purse for my wallet. "If you're going to keep sulking Kim then I'll let you find a non-Embry ride home." I threatened.
Her head snapped up to protest but someone beat her to it. "Oh, I love this group." The cashier said as he rung up the Chromeo CD I was getting.
I smiled kindly. "I know, right? I'm shocked that not that many people around my area know about them."
He chuckled as he took the security thing off the shirt I was getting. "Same here. Where're you from?" he asked as he totaled everything.
"Forks."
"Really?"
I nodded. "Yep. But I go to the Res. high school."
"That's awesome." He took my money and discount card but kept talking. "I'm transferring out there soon cause my step-dad wants to move back to his hometown." He shrugged. "Why do you live in Forks if you go to the Reservation's high school, though?" he questioned.
This guy was really nice. And not to mention f-ing hot! "It's a long story. But my Dad is the police chief so I kinda have to live there."
His grin got bigger as he handed me my bagged items, his dark brown eyes sparkling. "I'm Sebastian, by the way."
He stuck his hand out, flipping his brown hair out of his deep brown eyes. I took it. "Scarlet."
He grinned even wider. "Well, maybe I'll see you around town, Scarlet."
I smiled back flirtatiously. "Maybe…" with a fleeting smile, Kim and I walked off to the next store.
We walked into Charlotte Rouse when she jerked me to face her. "What the hell was that?" she was trying so hard to fight a smile.
I smirked back at her and giggled. "What was what?" I asked innocently as I perused the racks of clothes.
She joined me but continued her interrogation. "You were so flirting with the cashier in there! Oh my God. You like him!" she stared wide-eyed at me from the other side of the table set up with all the jeans.
I rolled my eyes. "Who is she flirting with? Who does she like?" Quil asked as the guys walked in to meet us.
Kim grinned at him as I hid my head by looking at a very interesting pair of sandals that were on sale. "The hot emo cashier at Hot Topic who also happens to be transferring to the Reservation's high school… and it's just a plus that he could be a Calvin Cline underwear model." She grinned at me as I thought it over.
He actually could pass for an underwear model but I shrugged it off. Glancing back at the guys I saw Embry mutter something under his breath but Jacob gave me a quizzical look as he walked over to join me in shoe shopping. "Soooo… You like the emo cashier?" he smirked as he raised an eyebrow at me.
I rolled my eyes and moved to the jewelry, his chuckle following me. "Scarrrr?" Kim sang as she came over to me. I hesitantly peaked around the earrings. She stood with a glint of mischief in her eyes. What now? I mentally groaned. She danced over to me and whispered in my ear. "This could be your chance to lose your BFV card." I gave her a funny look, like to say, "What?" She sighed and stepped back to give me a look of her own with her hands on her hips. "Your BFV card. As in you Boyfriend Virginity Card," she now crossed her arms over her chest.
I gaped. "Kim! I'm not going to sleep with the guy!"
She rolled her eyes. "Not your V-Card, dummy. Your boyfriend card," I was still lost. She grabbed my arm and pulled me into the dressing room area; away from the guys who were giving us really weird looks. I glanced back at Jacob who was still giving me that quizzical look. "Scarlet Swan." Kim snapped her fingers in my face to get my attention back to her. "When I say BFV card, I mean that you are the only girl I know who has yet to even acquire one boyfriend in her teenage years. Look, I know how you feel about, you know who, but you can still have other choices in life and I'm telling you- as a friend- that when Sebastian transfers, to go for it. He obviously likes you and was flirting like The Situation in heat back there." She jerked her thumb to Hot Topic, which was placed right across from Charlotte Rouse.
I could see Sebastian working the cash register with some other tattoo-covered, buzz cut, guy. He looked up from his conversation with the other guy and winked when he saw me. We were far away from each other but he still noticed me, like he was watching me for some reason. "You're looking at him right now, aren't you?" Kim guessed even though she had her back to the store's entrance.
"No." I lied smoothly.
"Bullshit," she turned and looked exactly where I had been. "God damn it, Scarlet." She muttered and walked back over to the guys. I followed, Jacob still giving me that look. I shrugged to him as we exited the store after Kim got what she wanted.
The day had practically gone like that. We shopped; we ate, and shopped some more. Kim still wouldn't let the whole Sebastian thing go. And not to mention that every time we passed Hot Topic after that, she would always bring him back up. Needless to say that I dropped Kim off first. There had been a big sigh between all of us left because she just wouldn't let it go.
It was really late by the time I dropped off Embry at his house. Jake and I had barely talked today. It had been more of a wordless day for some reason. When he was getting out of the car, even then all he said was, "Night," and shut the door before I could say anything to him.
