It was so cliché, to sit at a desk in the last hour of school and stare at the clock making these stupid noises in an attempt to will the seconds past faster. At least, that's how Olivia saw it as she fought to keep her eyes open while trying to avoid the side long smirks Brady would shoot her every five minutes. She didn't care, as long as that hand on the clock kept moving so she could get out of there. It was Friday and she wanted to go down to the beach and feel like a normal teenager for once, meet some new people and have some fun. Was that too much to ask?

'Olivia,' Brady hissed across to her, 'Olivia.'

Without turning her head she whispered out of the corner of her mouth, 'What Brady? I am trying to listen here.'

'Yeah, listening for the bell to go,' he laughed under his breath, 'but seriously, Seth had to go but he told me to tell you that he can pick you up from your place later if you want?'

Olivia thought for a moment, this was the perfect opportunity to head to the studio for a bit without having to teach, 'actually Brady can you get him to pick me up from the ballet studio in town?'

'The Delaware place?' Brady looked confused, 'why there?'

'I teach there and I want to fit in a small dance on my own.'

'You can dance?' Brady said at the same time Ms Hancock their teacher interrupted,

'Mr Fuller. Ms Lee. I assume you're conversation concerns the topic we're covering?'

'Course it is Ms H. We are all over this stuff,' Brady said with a beaming smile on his face.

Ms Hancock looked down her nose at him imperiously before turning back to a sniggering class with a raised eyebrow, 'oh yes Mr Fuller, and what is this 'stuff' you are all over?'

Brady's smile fell quickly as he dropped his head, 'uh, well, I guess... You see... this isn't going to work is it?'

'No Mr Fuller it is not, so I suggest you actually do the work I set you or you'll be repeating next year. Won't that be such fun? And Ms Lee, you're still new but allowances are starting to wear off so please try to pay attention.'

'Yes Ms Hancock,' Olivia said quietly as she shot Brady a sideways glare which he returned with another beaming grin.

Ms Hancock gazed at the two with a withering glare, sighing as a shrill ringing signalled the end of class. Olivia practically leapt out of her seat, racing to the door to find Jimmy, so she could convince him to drive her to the studio. That would be a hard sell. As she ran down the hall she could just spot his head bobbing above the crowd with Carlos next to him.

'Jimmy!' she called, ignoring the various heads that turned to her before going back to their own conversations, 'Jimmy!'

He heard her just as he stepped through the doors and seeing Olivia fighting to reach him he stopped to wait, his slightly shorter friend stopping with him.

'Liv, what do you need?' her cousin asked as she reached him.

'A lift actually,' she said, 'to the studio?'

Jimmy's smile faltered, 'thought Clearwater was giving you a ride?'

'He's picking me up later, please Jimmy, I'll walk if I have too,' she replied pleadingly.

After a small pause Jimmy nodded slightly, gesturing with his head for both Carlos and Olivia to follow him. As they got in the car Carlos looked at Olivia with a smirk on his face.

'So Olivia, studio? You a dancer or something?'

'Yes. Ballet. Good fun,' she replied shortly, still feeling slightly uncomfortable under his gaze.

'That's pretty interesting, Jimmy never mentioned it.'

'Jimmy has better things to talk about than the small details of my life,' Olivia sighed.

'I dunno, I like to hear about the small details of your life,' Carlos drawled, the smirk still on his face.

'Carlos!' Jimmy said sharply from where he sat beside his cousin, 'stop being such a sleaze.'

Carlos sat back, raising his hands lazily, falling silent as he caught Jimmy's eye in the mirror. As they pulled into the parking lot Olivia leapt out with only a small wave at her cousin, avoiding his friend's eye as he watched her. Jimmy watched her as she ran through the doors before taking off with a screech punching his best friends shoulder as Carlos climbed over next to him.

Seth was bored, Sam just kept talking. He knew he wouldn't make it back to the school so he'd had to send a message to Brady to pass on to Olivia, which had probably been passed on in the middle of class which probably meant Ms Hancock had given them some trouble. Oh well, that's what happened when you hung out with Brady. And Collin. Even Seth. Maybe there was some kind of bias against them? It would explain a lot.

'Afternoon brothers!' Collin's voice reverberated around the room.

'We have come to brighten your afternoon!' Brady chorused behind him.

'Shut it you two, we're still in a meeting,' Sam growled as Emily waved them in with another plate full of cookies.

'Really? It's been ages!' Collin mumbled as he shovelled in the treats held in front of him.

'We know,' Seth deadpanned, smiling as Sam shot a scowl across the table at him, 'what? It's true, Jake and Quil pulled me out ages ago and I really gotta be somewhere!'

'Oh yeah! That reminds me Seth, Liv said to pick her up from that Delaware place in Forks. Did you know she could dance?' Brady cut in, spraying crumbs all over Embry who sat in front of him.

Everyone spoke at once,

'Why's she over there?' Seth asked loudly.

'Who's Liv?' Embry and Jared asked simultaneously.

'The place you 'gotta be' is meeting a girl?' Sam asked, eyebrow raised.

'You're already whipped Seth!' called Quil as Jacob laughed from where he stood at the back of the room.

Seth ducked his head, trying to avoid the questions. He was the little brother, of course they were going to make fun of him. Everyone seemed to forget that Collin and Brady were both younger than him. It sucked.

'That seems to be my cue,' he said as he tried to move past the rest of the pack, unfortunately blocked by a grinning Paul as he moved in front of the door.

'No can do Seth, you've got to spill the beans on this one.'

Seth groaned and clamped his mouth shut. He would not say a word, it was really none of their business.

Brady grinned gleefully, ignoring the freezing look Seth shot him in warning, 'I can tell you! She's this new girl and there's a bit of drama, it's so great.'

'See, Seth has this being mutual hatred going on with Jimmy Collins but earlier this week we met Collins' cousin, Olivia,' Collin interrupted, 'and Seth decided to make friends with her despite many objections from the cousin. Now Seth has decided to bring her to the beach tonight where you will all get to meet her.'

'You stole my story Collin. Not cool,' Brady glowered, before brightening up as he added, 'oh, Collin didn't mention that she's really pretty, so I get to chuck that one in there. Plus she's pretty funny too, in a sarcastic kind of way. Probably get on with Leah quite well.'

From her spot in the corner Leah grunted in disagreement.

'Now that everyone has caught up can I go?' Seth groaned as he tried to get past a still grinning Paul, 'you'll all meet her later so you don't have to give me the third degree.'

Sam nodded, a signal for Paul to move, finally Seth thought, he really needed to get going. He left to the guffawing laughs of the rest of the pack behind him as they watched him bound out the door.

The music was loud, just like she liked it. Perfect to drown out the past week, a way to move past it all. She didn't notice as a large figure stepped through the glass door, watching her as she moved around the room.

'You're one hell of a dancer Ollie,' Seth's deep voice cut over her music.

She faltered before regaining her step, looking over she smiled at him lightly, 'I'd hope so, been doing it for years. At least some of the training managed to sink in.'

Seth laughed before walking over to join her by the CD player, picking up the disk, 'Just plain old orchestra music then?'

'Yeah,' Olivia laughed, 'what did you expect?'

'I dunno, something a bit livelier I guess,' Seth chuckled.

'Classical music is very lively, you just have to listen to it in the right way and move in the right rhythm.'

'I'll take your word for it, more of a rock kind of man myself.'

Olivia laughed again, 'now that I can see!'

Seth looked over at her, Olivia feeling slightly self conscious as he studied her face. She looked right back, taking in the bags beneath his eyes and the lines surrounding them.

'Are you okay Seth? You don't look so good.'

A smile quickly returned to his face as he answered, 'I'm fine, just a few late nights is all. What about you, you're looking a little rundown yourself?'

'Just lacking a little sleep too I guess, must be common around the reservation,' she said, smiling at him as she turned to grab her bag.

'Have you got stuff to change into?' he asked her, looking at the small gym bag doubtfully, 'I don't recommend you turn up in a leotard and shoes that make you to walk on your toes.'

Olivia rolled her eyes, 'I wouldn't wear my Pointe shoes to the beach, that's just silly. And yes, I do have something to change into, this bag is bigger than it looks.'

He really did look tired, Olivia noted as she watched his face. He was driving, eyes dutifully on the road as she took in the worn lines on his face and the bags growing under his eyes. His face looked drawn too, he really needed to sleep. He glanced over, smiling as he saw her watching him,

'You need to stop worrying, I'm fine.'

Olivia screwed up her nose, 'I was not worrying. I am not a worrier. But you do look like you need some decent sleep.'

'I don't, really, I've always run on the bare minimum. A lot of us here do really.'

'Something in the water?'

'Something in the water,' he agreed laughing.

'So who's going to be here tonight anyway?' Olivia asked, changing the subject.

'Well, your cousin obviously, and his friends. I expect that most of my year will be there and yours. A few tag-a-longs and then my friends, who you will finally get to meet. Oh and sometimes we get a few kids from Forks.'

'Sounds like a big party,' she said under her breath, a nervous strain obvious.

Seth looked at her, eyes sympathetic and questioning at the same time, 'Not a fan of crowds? It won't be so bad, you can just stick with me and my lot and you'll be okay.'

She didn't respond, just looked at him with a slight upturn of her lips and nodded as though in agreement.

Unconvinced, he continued, 'I'm serious, it's gonna be a good night, you'll meet some people and we'll have some fun and then I'll take you home and you can reflect on what an awesome idea it was for you to come with me!'

Olivia laughed at him, her smile widening as he stuck his tongue out, 'I had better enjoy this, or you're in trouble Clearwater.'

As they pulled into the parking lot overlooking the beach Olivia could see at least three bonfires blazing, and groups of teenagers scattered intermittently between them. She could hear muffled laughs and voices carrying through the wind, too far away to make any sense of the jumbled conversations.

'I didn't realise there'd be more than one bonfire,' she announced as she stepped out of the car.

'Well, people tend to just float around. Mingle. Socialise. Except for some who avoid others like the plague,' Seth said as he turned to meet her gaze, 'like you cousin,' he added under his breath.

Olivia turned a sharp gaze on him, 'One day you are going to have to explain this hostility to me because this negativity really brings me down!'

'Yeah, whatever,' Seth uttered non-committedly.

Rather than supply her with a real answer he grabbed her wrist and pulled her after him as he took large bounds down to the sand. The sand felt good, he flimsy shoes allowing her feet to sink down into its softness; she hadn't been on a beach in such a long time. Olivia found herself staring at the water, illuminated by the moonlight as the waves lapped the shore in a soothing rhythm. The faint glare of the flames reflecting on the surface.

'I know it's pretty Ollie, but you can look at it later,' Seth said, pulling on her arm excitedly, almost like a little puppy, 'I really, really want you to meet the guys, the ones you haven't already met anyway.'

'What do you mean the ones I haven't already met, I haven't met any of them yet!'

'Of course you have silly, you know Collin and Brady, and you briefly met Quil, Paul and Embry at the store. Now I can introduce you to them properly and introduce you to the rest.'

'And the rest are?' Olivia asked quizzically.

'Sam, his fiancée Emily, Jared and his girlfriend Kim, Jacob, and my sister Leah,' he rattled off, counting his fingers down as he listed.

'Okay, first things first. You have a sister and this is the first I'm hearing of it, I thought we were close Clearwater,' she teased impishly, ' and second, I don't know any of your friends, a slight nod of greeting does not count and neither do Collin or Brady.'

'Well, Collin and Brady are gonna kill you if they find out you said that. And Leah is... difficult. And not always the nicest person. So it's probably best I warn you now. So this is a warning... about Leah. Be prepared for some bitchiness.'

'You instill so much confidence Seth, you really do,' Olivia said flatly.

He only laughed again as he dragged her over to a loud and large group of people, none of whom looked like the teenagers they were supposed to be. Olivia definitely felt intimidated. When Seth looked back again he must have sensed some of her distress because he squeezed her hand reassuringly while giving her another of his bright smiles.

'Guys, this is Olivia. She's new and I decided to befriend her, improve her life a little you know?'

Without missing a beat Olivia smacked him in the chest and cut in, 'Actually, he started following me around and now I just can't get rid of him,' at his affronted look she added, 'What? I'm not here to feed your ego!'

The group in front of her started laughing, even the slightly angry looking girl who Olivia assumed to be Leah cracked a light smile.

'She's got you all figured out Seth!' one of the guys commented between chuckles, she knew him to be one of the boys from the store but couldn't put a name to the face.

'Shut it Paul,' Seth said as he pouted, 'anyway Ollie the obnoxious one is Paul. That's Quil and Embry, Sam and Emily, Jared and Kim, Jacob, my sister Leah and you know Collin and Brady.

Sam was the largest of the group and sat with a beautiful girl with scars running across her face. She didn't stare, she knew what that felt like. Quil and Embry the two sitting closest to the fire, Embry stockier. Jared and Kim the only other couple there sitting close and smiling at her, Kim she recognised was the girl working in the store.

Her eyes caught those of the only boy left she had yet to look at, and was struck dumb. It was a strange feeling, surrounding noise seemed to fade out and all she could focus on were the dark eyes of the man in front of her. It was hypnotising. She probably looked like an idiot, just staring, unable to look away.

A loud and reverberating laugh broke the silence; it was Leah.

'Oh this is absolutely brilliant!' she smirked.

There you go, sorry for any typos or mistakes. Had a few late nights and I haven't really caught up on sleep yet but I wanted to get this out. Leave me a review of what you thought, be that constructive critisism or just because you like it. I'm open to everyones opinions as long as they're not horribly rude or insulting.

P.S, My exams are all done and I'm finished with high school forever so updates may be a bit more frequent. I'll try my very hardest!
