Author's Note: Darcy, thank you so much for the review! I'm so glad that you are enjoying the story so far. And to everyone else, thanks for reading this. I'm having great time writing! Get excited! We meet Jacob in this chapter. Happy reading!

Thank God it's Friday and I get to go to the beach! This has been a great day! I'm so happy that I have already made friends with a nice group of people and we are already making plans. We're going to the beach as soon as this bell rings and we're going to have a bonfire there, too. Such a great start to the weekend!

After what seems to be an extra two hours, the bell finally rings and we all make our way outside.

"Bella!" Mike shouts. "We're going down to La Push with Lily Katherine and the rest of the group, do you want to join us."

A girl with dark brown hair turn around and says, "Can't Mike. Sorry. Edward and I already have plans." She makes a gesture to the tall pale guy standing beside her. "Maybe next time."

"Yeah, no problem. We figured you would say that but I thought I would ask. Have fun with your plans."

"LK! Let's go!" Eric yells.

"Alright! Alright! Hold your freaking horses!" I yell is reply.

We all pile into Mike's truck and start down to La Push. On the way out of the parking lot, I look back at that girl Bella; you can tell by the way she's looking at the truck that she wishes that she could come with us.

"What's the story with that Bella girl? You said that she's a friend of yours but I never see her around with anyone other than that guy."

"She's Chief Swann's daughter and Edward Cullen's girlfriend. We all used to be really good friends and hung out a lot but then one day she started dating Edward and we just never see her anymore." Angela explained. "I wish that she was able to come with us. She used to be good friends with one of the guys down at the Rez, Jacob, but they lost contact, too."

"The Rez?"

"Yeah, the Indian Reservation. It's the Quileute tribe. The story is that they are descended from wolves. If they are, they are the best looking wolf people." Explained Angela.

"Hey now, babe!" Eric said.

"They got nothing on you, love." She said back.

After about 30 minutes of driving, we pull into a parking lot along the beach. As we are getting out of the car, I notice several people surfing.

"Now that not something that you see everyday. Surfing in November. Isn't the water icy cold?" I ask.

"Yeah, It's quite cold but the wetsuits help a little bit," Mike says just before running off into the water.

Three guys make their way out of the water and one of them catches my attention. He looks like he's over 6 feet tall, which is a giant for me since I'm only 5'2", and he is very cute. And when I say very cute, I mean VERY cute! He has short brown hair, tanned skin and is well built. His features are the opposite of mine; I'm short with red hair, blue eyes and very Irish skin. Maybe that's why I always like the tall, dark and handsome type.

"Hey Fork's people! Who's the new bee?" One of the shorter guys asks.

"Hey Quil! This is Lily Katherine. She just moved here from Charleston. LK, this is Quil, Embry and Jacob." Jessica introduced.

'So, that's Jacob.' I thought to myself. 'Why would anyone want to stop being friends with him? He's beautiful.'

"Hey! It's nice to meet y'all!"

"Y'all! Aren't you just a little Southern belle!" Embry says.

"Haha! Yeah, I guess you could call me that."

"How long have you been in town?" Jacob spoke up. Even his voice had a dreamy quality to it.

"This is my third day in town. It's all kind of overwhelming right now."

'Uh oh. I'm in trouble.' I think to myself. 'It's day three and I already have a crush.'

"Well, if you need a tour guide, you just let me know," Quil said with a wink.

"Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. How are you guys not freezing? It's like 2 degrees out here!"

"Awe is little LK getting cold? Haha We just run hot down here. Why don't get go a head and get the fire going?" Jacob suggested.

"That's a good idea. Thanks, Jacob." I said.

"Yeah, no problem. We don't need you getting frostbite on your first week in town. You might not want to hangout with us again." He replied.

'Me not want to hangout with Jacob? Not likely' I thought. 'I'm really liking Forks and La Push now. Note to self, thank Daddy when I get home for moving out here.'

I sat as close to the fire while watching my new friends joking around with each other thinking that this has already become home to me; such a great feeling to have such great friends already. I can't wait to see what the rest of the day holds.
