My aim was to get this up yesterday but I didn't finish it because…….. MY DAD GOT ME A CAR!!!!! I got really excited and had to go out in it and everything. I'll be honest I forgot about updating in all the excitement! The car is for my 18th birthday but that isn't for another 4 mouths! So I've had my birthday present really early. I honestly think my Dad forgot when my birthday was so he brought it in the (sort of) middle of the year so he can say "Happy earlier birthday" or "happy late birthday." Oh well, I'm not complaining.
I brought a sponge bob air fresher to put in it as well. It reminded me of this story and Embry running around screaming!
I look a bit of a weirdo with a sponge bob air fresher in my window but I don't care! I am a little bit loopy!
Anyways just had to share my amazing news with you all! But you all don't care and you have probably just read this thinking what a waste of 30 seconds.
Here's the chapter!

Chapter Eight - Making new friends!
BPOV
When I walked back into English Jacob was still giving me a confused looked, probably at the fact I had took to long at the 'bathroom'. I just gave him a sweet innocent smile and went back to my work. When the Bell rang I quickly escaped the classroom before Jacob had had the chance to talk to me. Soon enough he will hear about Paul's lunch hour. Ha-ha.
Next I had Art. I saw Nat walking in front of me. I ran to catch up with her but before I could reach her, Lola did.
I stopped my pace and listened to what was been said.
"So Nat, I like saw you with that Bella girl yesterday after school." Lola said in a sickening sweet voice.
"Umm Yes" Nat seemed nervous.
"I like forbid you to hang around with her. I know you have like no friends because you are like a total loser, so it shouldn't really matter to you" Before Nat could reply Lola turned to walk away. The problem (for her) was that she turned right into me.
"Hello Lola. Where's your little followers? Oh they have probably realised what a hag you are and decided that they don't want to associate with you anymore. I mean who would?"
She looked at me with anger in her eyes. Her hands were on her hips and she was stood there as if she owned the places. She was about to speak but I cut her off.
"Nat can hang out with who she wants. She is not a loser and as far as I'm concerned she is the nicest girl in this god damn school. So why don't you go find your wannabe hookers and stand on a street corner somewhere"
If she was a cartoon character I would be pretty sure that steam would have been coming out of her ears and her face would be bright red.
"Walk away Lola" I waved her off and walked to Nat's side. I hooked arms with Nat who was smiling widely.
Lola didn't move so I decided to walk away instead with Nat. Just before I turned into the classroom at the end of the corridor, I turned back to her.
"Lola?" She looked at me with a look of fury. "Quil's mine" I grinned as I walked into a the room leaving a gob smacked Lola stood by herself.
Nat and I took our seats and instantly started on our work.
"Thanks Bella, for standing up for me." Nat said quietly.
"Don't worry about it Nat. I don't get why she was trying to stop you from hanging around with me though" I said back to her.
She giggled. I looked at her confused. "I heard some girls talking about it at lunch. Apparently Lola has been telling every girl in our grade that they can not been seen talking to you. I think it's because Lola thinks that you will take her 'throne'" I laughed when she said that. She joined me.
"Is what Lola said true?" I asked her, not quite sure if she knew what I was talking about, but I didn't want to out right ask her, 'why don't you have any friends.' That would be rude.
"Do you mean the fact that I have no friends?" Well I guess she does know what I'm talking about. I nodded. She sighed "Yes that's true. I'm really shy and don't really get on with people" She blushed and looked down at her work.
"You don't seem so shy to me?" I said trying to make her feel happy. She laughed.
"That's because you have given me a change. Your different from the other girls around her, most of them are-" I cut her off.
"Bitches. Yeah I caught on to that." We both laughed. "Well we don't need any off them though. You're my friend and I'm yours"
She smiled eagerly. "You will really be my friend?" She said in disbelief.
"yes of course" I laughed. "Listen why don't you come to mine for dinner tonight. Quil might be there and his friends. They really good guys though. Sometimes they can be a hand full but you will really get on with them."
Nat seemed hesitant at first. "I swear to you they are really nice. If you want, it can be just us two. I'm sure Quil wont mind" I suggested to try and make her feel more comfortable.
"No, no. I would love to meet the guys. I could come over straight after school?" She seemed a little more comfortable.
"Sure, did you come to school in a car?" I asked her wondering if she was going to follow my car.
She blushed and looked down. "No, my Mum drops me off and picks me up. I'll text her now and tell her not to come"
"Okay I can give you a lift back home later as well" I said happy that I had made a friend. She smiled as she text her mum.
When she had finished she looked up at me and raised an eyebrow. "So you and Quil?" She giggled.
I blushed this time. "Yes, we just click." I answered. I looked down at my work and could hear her giggling.
"Are you blushing Bella?" She asked.
"No" I answered trying to cover up my face with my hands.
"You are aren't you. " She laughed. I moved my hands away from my face and laughed along with her.
We carried on chatting until the bell rang. We walked out to the parking lot with our arms hooked together. I saw Jacobs car speeding out of the car park. Stood at my car was Quil laughing to himself.
"Are you ready to meet the boyfriend?" I asked Nat. She laughed and nodded.
We made our way towards Quil and he smiled when he saw me.
"Hey B" he said and pressed his lips against mine. I pulled away quickly so that Nat didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Quil this Nat my new amazing best friend, Nat this is Quil my sexy boyfriend" They both laughed at the introductions.
"Nice to meet you Nat" Quil held out his hand and Nat shook it.
"You too Quil" She blushed.
"Wait you two have never meet before?!" They both shook their heads. "This is such a small school though"
"I guess we have no lesson together " Quil shrugged.
"and I don't sit in the cafeteria at lunch" Nat chipped in.
Myself and Quil looked at her. "I have no one to sit with" I blushed again and looked down.
I was about to speak to her but Quil beat me to it.
"Nat you can sit with us" He put a hand on her shoulder and she smiled up at him and then at me. I felt like jumping Quil there and then because of how sensitive and sweet he was.
"Shall we go, you guys?" I smiled at them. Quil looked confused.
"Nat is coming to mine for dinner. You and the guys are welcome to come too" He ginned and nodded.
Nat got into the back of my car and I tried to walk past Quil to get to the drivers side of the car but he kept blocking me. "Quil can I get passed you please?" He shook his head and grinned at me. "You want to drive the car don't you?" He nodded still with a cheesy grin in place.
I laughed and handed him the keys. "Fine" He kissed me gentle on the lips and climbed into the drivers seat as I got into the passengers.
The drive to mine went quite fast. Quil and Nat got on really well and I was pleased that Nat wasn't uncomfortable and she actually looked really happy. Quil held on to my hand tightly the whole time. Just that small bit of contact made my heart nearly explode.
When we reached mine. Quil told me that he was going to Jacobs to give me and Nat some girl time.
Nat heard this and said "Its okay, we can paint your nails for you if you want" I laughed. She was going to fit perfectly.
Quil cringed and said "No it's okay Nat, but I'll be sure to tell Jacob and Paul. They will be straight over." We all laughed, even Nat. She doesn't know Jacob or Paul yet but I told her in Art about my evil revenge. I never told her what Jacob did to deserve revenge because I didn't think that telling her that they we wolf would turn out to well.
"B, Jacob wasn't very pleased when he left school today, so he might not be in the best of moods with you at Dinner." I just laughed and waved it off.
Nat and I went into the house and left Quil to go to the guys. I showed Nat the house and she really liked it. We settled in my room. I was reading a magazine as Nat looked through my wardrobe.
"You and Quil look so right together" She smiled at me. I smiled back.
"Thanks" I said with pride.
"So who is coming for dinner?" Nat asked as she got on her knees to look at my collection of shoes.
I laughed "To be honest I don't even know. I just told Quil that he can invite the guys round here for dinner."
"Who are the guys?" I forgot she didn't know much about the people Quil hangs out with.
"Umm well there's Paul, Jared, Sam, Jacob, Embry-" Nat cut me off. She suddenly looked terrified as she stood up.
"Embry Call?" I nodded at her, slightly confused. "I need to leave" She shrieked. She ran towards the door. I grabbed her arm to stop her.
"What's the big deal? Why do you have to leave?" She turned to face me and I let go of her arm.
She looked down at her feet. "Were friends right? So I can tell you anything?"
"Yes, what's up?" I pulled her back in to my room and on to the bed.
"Please don't laugh at what I'm about to tell you and you cant tell anyone, including Quil!" She gasped. I nodded for her to continue. "I've had a small crush on Embry since 7th grade." WHAT? How can someone so sweet and innocent crush on someone like him? "He doesn't even know I'm alive though" She shrugged. "Someone like him doesn't go for someone like me"
"What do you mean someone like him? Any guy would be lucky to be with you!"
"ha good joke Bella. Embry is so sweet, funny, handsome, kind, honest-" It was my turn to cut her off.
"What? Are we both talking about the same Embry Call here. Is there another one is La Push that I should now about?"
She giggled. "There's only one Embry Call"
"Well you missed off arrogant, womanizer and cocky shit on your list of 'qualities'"
Nat giggled some more. "I know but I bet inside he is a really nice guy" She sighed..
"Have you even spoke to him yet?" She shook her head. "Well how do you know that?"
She shrugged. "I don't know I just do"
We fell into a silence.
"What time is your dad going to me home" I looked at the time. It was 6'oclock already.
"Any minute now! It's six we have an hour until the guys get here and we still need to cook and get ready" I gasped.
"Get ready?" Nat looked confused.
"Yep get ready. Now chose any outfit out of there" I said and pointed to the wardrobe that was still open.
"No Bella I cant, these are your clothes." I laughed.
"Nat chose something. Friends share and if it makes Embry notice you, all the better" I winked at her and she giggled. "Now chose and I'll go order pizza, so we can pretend we made it when the guys get her. I cant be bothered to cook."
I ran down stairs to get the phone. Just as I reached the bottom of the stairs my dad walked in.
"Hello Dad"
"Hi sweetheart" He kissed me on the forehead as he took off his shoes.
"Dad is it okay if some friends come round for dinner? Nat is upstairs already." I asked giving him my best smile.
"I'm glad you have made some friends Bella. Of course they can come round. But I wont be here. I've been invited out with some locals. I thought it would be the best chance to get to know people, I was going to ask you to come too but seen as though you already have met some friends it doesn't matter" I smiled and kissed his cheek.
I suddenly realised that I hadn't yet told Dad about Quil. I followed my Dad into the kitchen. "Dad, I need to tell you something." He nodded for me to continue as he got a drink of water. "Do you remember other day when them guys came to welcome us."
He nodded. "Yes Billy and his kid. That's whose invited me tonight."
"Well do you remember Quil who was laid on the floor" He nodded again. "We are sort of dating" He looked up at me.
"Dating?" He mumbled more to himself than to me.
"Yes" I said. "I really like he Dad" This was the first time that I actually spoke to my Dad about a boy that I was dating. I knew that this relationship was more powerful though, so why would I need to keep it away from my Dad.
He sighed "When can I meet him?" He asked. "I know I've already met him but I want to give him warnings and stuff." I rolled my eyes at him. Trust Dad's.
"He's coming here soon for dinner with the others"
He smiled. "Well he's off the hook tonight then because I'm leaving in a minute. Why don't you invite him and his parents over for dinner one night. So we can all meet properly." I rolled my eyes again. Dad always likes things to be done right and for them to move along smoothly. I gulped at the mention of Quil's parents. I haven't thought about meeting them. I mean we have only been together a day. Does Quil's parents know about him been a wolf and me been his imprint? Will they like me? So many questions!
"I have to get changed and go Bella okay?" He kissed me on the forehead and went upstairs. I grabbed the phone and ran upstairs to see if Nat had picked any clothes out. I walked in to the room and saw Nat sat on the bed. She was looking at the magazine I was reading earlier.
"Have you chose anything?" I asked her as I dialled the number for the pizza place.
"No Bella. I'll feel bad if I wear your clothes." I rolled my eyes at her and she laughed. I placed the phone to my ear and ordered twenty pizzas. I didn't know how many people were coming to dinner but it didn't matter because knowing the guys the pizzas will get eaten.
I looked through my closet and pulled out a red summer dress. It was really cute and would really suit Nat. I placed it next to her on the bed and found a black pair of pumps to match.
"Bella, I've already said I'm not wearing any of you clothes." I turned around and pouted at her.
"Pleaseee" I whined. She eventually gave in. Whilst she was getting changed a chose to wear a summer dress similar to Nat's but mine was blue. I put on some blue flip flops to match.
I looked back at Nat and I was right. The red dress really looked good with her tanned skin and black hair. The only problem was that she had her hair up in a bun.
"Do you always wear you hair up?" I asked her. Come to think about it, I never saw her with it down. I know, I know I've only been here two days. But I can just tell that she isn't the type of girl to spend hours doing her hair in a morning. She nodded her head.
"Can I curl it or straighten it for you?" I asked her excitedly. She sighed and nodded.
After about twenty minutes myself and Nat were ready. I had straightened Nat's hair and curled my own and we both had done each others make up. My Dad had come in half way through to introduce himself to Nat and then had gone to meet Billy.
I heard the doorbell ring down stairs. I turned to Nat. "Are you ready?"
"You do realise that its probably just the pizzas" She laughed. Damn I forgot about that.
"You can never be to sure." We both ran down stairs and opened the door. It was the pizzas.
I paid the pizza boy and closed the door shut. Nat and I took all the pizzas out of the boxes and placed them on plates. We hid the boxes in the kitchen, hoping that none of the guys saw them.
After all that was done the door bell rang. "Are you ready?" I said.
Nat laughed and said "Just go and open the door."
Before I could even leave the living room, Quil and Jacob had walked in. "Ever heard of waiting for the home owner to open the door and invite you in!"
Quil silenced me with his lips.
"No none of that." Jacob yelled. I broke away from Quil and smirked.
"What's a matter Jacob you seem a little tense." I said sweetly. Quil chucked. He sat on the couch and picked up a slice of pizza.
"Well thanks to you Bella. I have people coming up to me and asking if it true that Paul and I are fuck buddies!" Jacob yelled.
"I don't know what your talking about Jakey" I heard the door bell ring and I walked to the living room door. I heard Jacob growl when I called him that. So I turned back to him. "Oh sorry. Is Paul the only on that's allowed to call you that!" Jacob ran towards me but I managed to shut the door before he got to me. I could hear Quil and Nat laughing.
"I'm going to kill your little girlfriend Quil" Jacob yelled.
The front door was pushed open. Paul, Jared and Sam stood there.
"We heard someone say that they were going to kill you Bella. Are you okay? Where's Quil? Is he hurt?" Sam was fanatic.
"I think we should just let who ever wants to kill her get her. Hell, I'll help him!" Paul smirked.
I slapped him on the arm. "Paul that is not a very nice thing to say." I looked up at him hurt. I even managed to make my eyes watery.
"Awwww Bella. I didn't mean it! I will kick anyone's ass who wants to kill you" He crushed me into a hug as I smirked.
"Its okay Paul. I forgive you. Jacob was the one that threaten me." I tried to sound like I was crying in to his chest, the laughter was easily mistaken for my sobs.
"I'll go kick his ass" He ran off into the living room. When Sam and Jared saw that I was in fact not crying they shook they head and chuckled.
"JACOB YOU THREATENED BELLA AND MADE HER CRY!"
I heard Quil laugh, he had obviously heard what had been said between myself and Paul.
The other guys followed me back in to the room were the others were sat around. Quil and Nat were sat around anyway whereas Paul was on top of Jacob and they were fighting.
"Awwww look you guys they are been more open about their relationship." Paul and Jacob both stopped fighting and looked at me. Both had menacing looks on there face.
"Look guys, Pizza" I pointed to the plates on the table. The instantly smiled. Everyone took a seat and started to eating. Boys and food.
I sat on the couch between Nat and Quil.
"Guys this is Nat. Nat this is Jacob, Paul, Sam and Jared."
They all exchanged 'hellos' and 'nice to meet you.'
"I recognise you from somewhere?" Jacob said with his mouth full.
"She goes to our school, idiot." I chucked a piece of Pepperoni at his face.
Realisation spread across his face. "Oh yeah. I remember. Your in my French class"
Nat nodded and smiled.
I glanced around the room and realised that Embry wasn't here yet.
"Hey where's Embry, the village idiot?" Nat chocked on her pizza when I said this. I smack her on the back. The guys all asked her if she was ok and she nodded. I saw the slight blush as she looked down.
"As far as I know he's still be chased by that boy that wanted his spongebob boxers back."
"Still?"
"Yep"
The room went quite as everyone ate. We decided to leave some pizza for Embry just in case he turned up on one piece.
The guys all got talking to Nat and she seemed more comfortable around them. She laughed at the joke and even made some of her own. She didn't seem like the shy girl that was been bullied my Lola earlier on in the day.
Eventually Paul, Jared and Sam said they had to leave. I heard Sam whisper to Quil something about patrolling and immediately knew that they were talking about werewolf duties. They all kissed Nat and I on the cheek and even told Nat that she could hang out with them at any time. She blushed and thanked them.
There was only Quil, Jacob, Nat and myself left. I looked at the time. It was only 8:30.
"What time do you need to be home Nat?"
She shrugged. "Anytime. I'd say between ten and half past." I nodded.
Jacob and Quil were talking about a cars. I would have gladly entered the conversation and told them about how I am fixing up my Dads cruiser but I didn't think that Nat was into all that.
I slid closer to Nat. I knew that both boys would be able to hear with they wolf hearing but they seemed to into the conversation, I don't think that they would be interested in ours.
"So, have you enjoyed yourself?" I asked her.
She nodded and smiled. "Thanks Bella. I've never had so much fun in my life." I smiled at how happy she was. It baffled me how this girl had no friends. She's so nice and a genuine good person. I could never she her hurting any one or anything and she was so cautious about other peoples feelings.
"Why don't we do something this weekend? Go to the beach or something?"
Her face lit up. "Yes. I don't have anything planned." She smiled.
I heard a bang outside. Quil and Jacob instantly stood up, in front of myself and Nat. Nat looked really scared so I grabbed on to her arm.
We could hear shouting outside.
"Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants!Absorbent and yellow and porous is he! SpongeBob SquarePants!If nautical nonsense be something you wish, SpongeBob SquarePants!Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish! SpongeBob SquarePants!"
"Okay I don't think this person is a mass murderer." I laughed and relaxed.
"Is that……." Quil didn't have to finish because storming into my living room was no other than Embry.
"Does nobody answer the doors around hear." He looked at Jacob and Quil. "FOOD!" He yelled and grabbed the plate of pizza. Eating it cold.
Quil and Jacob relaxed and took their seats again.
"That guy that chased me made me sing Sponge bob to him before he let me go. Now I have that fucking song in my head! Who lives in a pineapple under the ……….." He carried on singing as he shoved food into his mouth. Nat was watching him, more like staring at him. I squeezed my hand on that was still on her arm. She looked at me confused and I raised an eyebrow at her and she blushed.
"Have you met our new friend?" Quil said. Nat's face brightened when he said 'our'. He saw and winked at her. Did I mention I had the best boyfriend ever.
Embry stopped chewing when he looked at Nat. His mouth fell open. The pizza which was semi chewed fell out onto his plate. His eyes never left Nat.
"Embry man. That is disgusting dude" Jacob yelled.
Embry didn't seem to hear him. He put his plate on the table and walked towards Nat. When he got to her he dropped to his knees in front of her. He was still staring at her. She looked at me nervously. I just shrugged. I had no idea what he was doing.
"Hi, I'm Embry. I'm a wolf, you're my imprint lets go get married." Everyone froze except Embry who still looked like he was under a spell.
Nat let out a nervous laugh. "Your funny Embry." I don't think she meant 'laughing' type of funny. No, I think she meant 'do you have a brain' type of funny.

I was going to carry on but its already quite long.
Anyways hope you like it!
Review please people!
When I just read this through I realised that I haven't added a QPOV in a long time! (Two chapters, I think) I don't think his POV will be in the next chapter either but I'll try and work it in somewhere.
