A/N: I am sooo sorry that I haven't been able to update this in a while. I really and truly am sorry. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed, you people are really amazing. Let me know what you think of this. I will also be posting more than one chapter up to make up for not updating.

"How was it? Did you make any new friends?" Aunt Emily greeted me at the door with questions; I just stomped into the house, passing right by her.

"Everyone just stared at me, no one even bothered to talk to me. It was depressing. Then I had to sit with Embry, Jake, and Quil, and let me tell you, they are not the kind of people that you want to sit with at lunch." Emily looked at me with sympathy; I could tell that she felt sorry that my first day didn't go so well.

"I'm sure tomorrow will be better don't worry."

"I hope so," I grumbled, as I headed towards my room to do homework and just relax. I changed into really short shorts, a tank top, and just laid down on my bed, listening to my Ipod.

"Sandy!" I woke with a start, and found Sam looking at me.

"Are you hungry?" As if on cue, on stomach started to grumble, obviously wanting something in it. I nodded and followed him downstairs, where I could hear arguing like this morning.

"Hey Andy, had a nice nap?" I smiled and nodded towards Embry, then found Paul staring at me once again. It was strange; I had that weird feeling again, like he was looking through me.

"Hi, Paul."

"Hey," his voice was husky, and I couldn't help but blush. He kept on looking at me, not breaking contact. I wasn't paying attention to what was going on in the kitchen, and I don't think he was either; then, someone coughed, really loudly. I finally looked away and sat down next to Jared. I didn't say much that night, just tried not to look at Paul, who was staring at me all night.

"Why don't you kids go outside?" Emily asked after dinner. We all agreed that it was nice out, so we headed outside.

"I propose a fight," Quil said. Jacob shook his head.

"You'd lose in a heart beat, shrimp." Quil growled. Embry and Jared laughed.

"I can take you."

"Prove it."

"Want to make a bet?" Embry asked Jared. Jake and Quil were both circling each other, almost ready to pounce. Jared nodded his head, looked between Jacob and Quil to see who would make the first move.

"Five on Jacob."

"Five bucks? Don't have faith that he'll win?" Jared smiled.

"Fine, ten that Jake wins, but five that Quil at least leaves a mark." Embry smirked and nodded, and then he looked at Paul, who sat next to me on the steps.

"How 'bout you, Paul? Any wages?" Paul sat there, looking at the two fighters, probably determining who was most likely going to win. He then sighed and shook his head.

"Not tonight." Embry shrugged his shoulders and made his way between Jacob and Quil.

"Okay, ready? One, two…three. Fight!"

It was incredible; I never saw anything like it. Once Embry announced the fight, both Jake and Quil tackled each other. Quil landed on top of Jacob, who growled and snarled. I blinked twice and missed half of the fight. I'm guessing that Jacob flipped Quil and bit him, because he was on top and Quil screamed and was bleeding out of his right shoulder blade. Quil then tried to punch Jake, who dodges it by getting off of him, and scratched him. Now Jacob was bleeding out of his left bicep, he didn't seem to notice or care, because he knocked Quil down once again and held his hands to his throat.

"The winner is Jacob!" Embry's voice brought me back to the deck, where I finally let out the breath that I was holding. Paul looked at me, and then shook his head.

"Pay up, man, I won." Jared made his way towards Embry and started to demand for his money. Jacob got off of Quil and helped him up. The two then made their way towards Embry and Jared, and started to have a conversation with them.

"Aren't they going to have someone look at their cuts?" Paul looked at me once again, but just shook his head.

"They'll be fine. They always do this after they eat, to burn off the energy."

"Idiots, one of these day they're really going to get hurt." He shook his head once again.

"You'd think that, but they're tougher than they look or act." Now it was my turn to sigh. I just didn't get it, both Jacob and Quil were hurt, but no one was doing anything about it.

"Andy!" I looked up and saw Quil smiling at me.

"What did you think? I would have had him if he didn't bite my neck."

"You wish! I would have finished you off quicker but you made that cheap shot and tried to punch me."

"The rules didn't say that I couldn't punch you."

"Bull! Punching is a cheap shot and you know it!"

"You won did you? So does it matter?"

"She's right ya know. I did win."

"Ya, whatever," Quil mumbled that last part and headed inside, probably to get Aunt Em to look at his neck. Jacob followed him, grinning. Embry and Jared followed both of them, still arguing about money and who owed whom from last week's fight. It was quite after they left, leaving only Paul and me on the steps. We stayed like that for a while not saying anything, just looking at the stars in the sky. A howling interrupted the quiet night, startling us. Paul turned his head towards the woods and his face was stern.

"Sandy, get inside."

"Why?" He looked at me, but before he could say anything Sam and the others came running out the door.

"Lets go, Paul." He nodded towards him and followed. He turned back once more to look at me.

"Sandy, I said to get inside." I stood up and crossed my arms.

"Not until you tell me what's going on." He growled, he was getting annoyed, I could tell.

"Damn it Sandy! Just get inside!" I stared at him, surprised that he yelled at me, but headed towards that door anyway. Before I actually went inside I looked back, and found them all headed into the woods. Paul looked back and found me still there, he opened his mouth to say something but I beat him to it.

"Be careful." With that he nodded and ran after the others.
