Chapter 3

We were about to head out the door, when suddenly it was thrown open. My family and I were startled to see two very tall boys racing towards the food. I couldn't be sure, but I thought I saw Leah growl at them, and well Mrs. Clearwater seemed extremely furious at them both; she cleared her voice before speaking.

"AHEM! Theresa, Stephen this is my son Seth and his friend Quil" She said in a stern voice.

My mother looked at Stephen unsure of what to do; I had retreated behind him as well. I didn't know why but these boys intimidated me, they were very tall, had russet skin and short hair – you could tell that they were from around La Push but they didn't seem like juniors, they were at least freshmen in college or something. My internal monologue was interrupted by the boy named Quil who had shuffled his way between me and Stephen.

"Hi, I'm Quil" he greeted me smiling; I probably looked like a child to him, considering I was 5'4 and he looked about 6'2.

"My name is Fer-"I was caught off by the sound on glass shattering on the floor.

"Seth!-" Leah began, but stopped abruptly when given a warning look from Sue, who looked more concern than upset with her son.

The boy named Seth looked at me intently; his eyes were curious and wide and I couldn't help but to stare back. He was handsome beautiful even, his breathing had become jagged but was coming back to normal. My mother shook me, because I don't think I had ever been so still in my life.

"My name is Fernanda" I finished with a weak smile.

Seth had composed himself, but he never took his eyes off me. This should have freaked me out, but it didn't, I was actually very, very flattered.

"I'm Seth! Nice to meet you Fernanda!" he said enthusiastically, he ran his hand through his hair nervously when I didn't respond.

"T-thanks" I said shakily, I mentally slapped myself. This was the hottest guy who had ever spoken to me said he it was nice to meet me and all I could say in reply was 'thanks'. Stephen must have sensed my distress because he quickly broke the silence.

"Wow! Seth look at you all grown up! Last time I saw you were a baby" He said, quickly adding" You must be in your first year of college, now aren't you?"

Seth shook his head smiling" I'm actually a junior, what about you Fernanda?"

"Uh" My brilliant response was" um, me too"

His smiled widened, clearly pleased by the idea." Maybe I could give you a tour La Push or something-if you'd like to"

"Of course, she'd love to!" My mother sang, obviously loving the idea of me making a friend so soon.

"Actually, me and Quil were headed to the beach" Seth offered,

"We were?" Quil asked, he seemed unaware of these plans, but quickly composed his expression" Yea, we were."

Seth turned to face me and his voice softened" You should come."

I tried to say something, but my brain and my mouth weren't connecting so I nodded instead.

Seth smiled and grabbed my hand before tugging on it lightly, as he did this my heart stopped a little, he had done so smoothly as though we had been dating for weeks and this came natural to, us... it felt natural too. But I composed myself ripping me hand out of his remembering I had only just met this guy and was in a roomful of people. I saw a hurt expression on his face, and wanted to comfort him... but I didn't.

"So should we go?" Quil asked nonchalantly, oblivious to what had just happened.

I shot my mom a pleading look and she nodded."Cuidate" she mouthed.

I nodded and smiled up at Seth who I think had been watching me the whole time. I saw him attempt to reach for my hand but quickly retreated to his pocket. I sighed sadly realizing that I wanted to hold his hand.

We headed out the door and I followed the boys eagerly, they set the pace and before I knew it I was jogging just to keep up, I didn't blame them or anything given that their legs were twice as long as mine. Quil didn't seem to notice but Seth did and he abruptly slowed down and I did too, this caused me to stumble over a rock I hadn't seen, I would have fallen flat on my face if Seth's arms hadn't caught me in time, he wrapped them around me protectively before setting me on the ground. Quil stared at us smiling before resuming his way to the beach.

"You okay?" He murmured loud enough that I could hear.

"I'm fine" I replied, to be honest I was more than fine, I wasn't embarrassed that I had almost fell flat on my face, I didn't even care that my foot was throbbing from where it had hit the rock, all that mattered at this precise moment in time is that he had caught me, that he had hugged and that he cared. He probably did it since his mom would have probably yelled at him if I didn't come back in one piece, but that really didn't matter to me right now- ugh wait why was I acting like this over some guy I didn't know, it was very nice of him to that and I shouldn't obsess about it I had just met the guyand I was getting all sappy over something really, really stupid! I had to treat him the same way I would any other guy, I didn't want to become of those girls who, saw a guy in the hallway for the very first time and were already stressing over what they would wear on the first date, should said guy even acknowledge them in return. I turned to face him and found that he eyes were already on me looking for any sign that I was hurt.

"Thanks for that" I said keeping my tone even and light.

"You're welcome" He replied in an even more casual tone." So...this your first day in La Push?"

I smiled" Is it that obvious?"

"Well, you do stand out," He said keeping eye contact with me, he dropped his gaze to where the rock I almost tripped on before adding " you see most of us have all the rocks on the ground remembered so we don't trip or fall."

"I guess I'll have to work on it" I replied grinning.

He led the way to the beach, this time he had his hand on my back guiding me, or maybe he wanted to make sure he would be close enough if I were to trip again.

"Where are you from?" He said asked.

"New Orleans" I responded.

"You don't look like you're from Louisiana" He said softly.

"I'm not, I'm actually from Peru, my family moved when I was eight" I said.

"Really?" He said he had a weird look on his face when he said it though. I nodded

"You don't like anything like Stephen" He stated, more like a fact when he said it.

"Stephen is my stepdad" I explained glumly" My dad died when I was almost nine"

Seth looked at me sadly" I'm sorry" he said his voice matching my voice.

That's when I noticed something; the way he said it was so different, he didn't say it the way most people did, to share their condolences, he said it as if he wanted to comfort me and it made my day, usually it was my mom who sounded this way, but we didn't bring up my dad much since she and Stephen started going out.

"So how long have you lived in La Push?" I said quickly trying to change the subject, I cursed at myself mentally remembering that Stephen had been old friends with his parents, and therefore Seth had probably lived in La Push his entire life.

"All my life" he replied, he seemed amused, by the expression I had on before.

"So you know all the best places for sight-seeing?" I asked.

He stopped and turned so he could fully face me. I saw the giant grin on his face. But he composed his face before speaking.

"Yeah, but there isn't much to do around Forks all the good stuff is in Port Angeles" He said his tone sounded way enthusiastic, I wondered why...

"I could take you, "he said, then quickly added" To Port Angeles, I mean I could take you sight-seeing"

I could feel my cheeks burning up" I'd love that" I replied, okay so I wasn't really sticking to the treating- him –like-any-other-guy rule, but there was something different about Seth. Seth kept talking to me, he asked about the littlest things anywhere from what my favourite flavour of ice cream was to what I thought I was going to major in, in college he wanted to know everything about me and he didn't bother to hide it. When we finally got to the beach it was getting late so he suggested we head back, I didn't fight him on it since tomorrow was my first day of school and I had a lot to do.

When we got back to his house, my mother and Stephen weren't there so Sue suggested that Leah drive me home, but Seth quickly interrupted saying that he didn't mind doing it himself. And so I'm in his car which he opened for me like a gentleman.

"Are you nervous, for school tomorrow?" He asked, as he turned on the ignition.

"Kinda, I mean I'm not worried about homework, but I don't really know anyone" I answered.

He smiled, "You know me"

I responded with a smile, and then noticed that he seemed to know exactly where to go, without my instruction.

"You know where I live?" I asked unable to hide my surprise.

"Yea my mom said it was by the red cabin" He replied.

I nodded; we were there in less than ten minutes. He gaped at my house; it was bigger and modern than any of the other houses I had seen in La Push or even Forks for that matter. I didn't know how to say good bye so I just thanked him for driving me home.

"See you tomorrow" I said as I walked towards the door.

"Can't wait" He replied instantly with a grin spread across his face.
