Chapter 2

So We Meet Again Slightly Intimidating Guy

Embry Call. Not really a name I usually think about, besides maybe to say that he should really try harder in school, or, that he should consider dropping out and getting a job instead of doing nothing with his high school career. Or that he is sort of isolated from the school since he is in a 'gang' which makes him seem like a follower. But the thing is, I haven't done anything but think about him over and over again ever since our 'encounter' at Sam's house.

It's my own fault that I like to know the who story behind things. I really shouldn't care, you know like 'shrug it off, and take it easy,' but I can't, I just can't. I have barely ever uttered a word to him since that day. I've never had a history with Embry, even when I was friends with Quil. Never crossed paths with him, because simply he wasn't the type of person I wanted to hang around with.

Even though the whole 'la push gang' creates a barrier between the rest of the town and themselves, they always pull helpless girls in. Once of which is Sadly, Kim who is honestly so nice, she was always quiet but nice, and then she joined there little club. Also, her best friend Samantha, who now has joined the group, was the next victim to be pulled in.

I heard Nathan saying once in one of my classes that she was all messed up in there 'colt', but I'm pretty sure he was just sore since Jared made a move first, and it was common knowledge to anyone that Nathan had a thing for Kim and had been turning down girls left and right because he liked Kim, whom was completely oblivious. But I remember that one day Nathan came to school with a black eye and I'm pretty sure Jared caused it. So I guess that was the brawl for Kim's 'honor' or something like that. 

But, the point is the La Push gang is just not the kind of people I would ever want to hang out with. The fights, the teen pregnancy, and the rebelliousness was far to much drama for me.

"Maria eat your breakfast" My dad said, starring at my untouched food I was playing with my fork as I thunk.

"I'm not hungry"

"You should eat your breakfast it's good for you" My mum said as she sipped her coffee. I looked at both of their dishes, which were just coffee and a piece of toast. I sighed dramatically, and ate my breakfast.

"Anything going on at school today?" Mum asked, as she was sipping her coffee. The translation of that question really meant: Why didn't you study that much last night?

"No, not really"

"Well that's good" Dad said, looking up from his paper and reached out, stealing a piece of my toast.

Before I could argue, I heard a car horn beeping outside. I almost jumped at the sound and all my dad did was shake his head in annoyance. Mum smiled at me, she loves Luca so he really can't do anything wrong in her eyes. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's planning on me marrying him and having children that look just like Luca. I would love to scream, 'Good luck with that!'

"Have fun." Mum called behind me, as I grabbed my bag.

"Be safe. Tell Luca to slow down, you know how big teenagers dying from reckless driving is" Dad warned in a stern voice. He didn't really love Luca like my mom did.

"Yeah, I will" I assured.

"Love you." My parents say, both at different times.

"You too." I screamed, as I slammed the door. I glared daggers at Luca, who was happily singing along to Metro Station.

"What" Luca asked as soon as I got into the car, turning the volume dial lower on his stereo.

"You beeped"

"Your not serious, oh come on! I was just rocking out to Metro Station and I figured it was just useless walking to your door and then walking back again"

"I didn't realize it was such a big deal, I'll walk next time since you drive like a manic. Anyway, did you know how many teenagers die from reckless driving?" I spat.

"What is your problem" Luca said, clearly annoyed at my sassy attitude.

"Nothing"

"So your being a bitch for no reason"

"I'm not being a bitch"

"Yes you are, this is about that whole Embry thing isn't it" He said, raising an eyebrow.

"No" I lied, for the second time in two days.

"Yes it is" Luca said, grinning his idiotic grin. "Look don't even give it a second thought, I mean the La Push boys are as hot as you can get. But they are known for being a tad weird you know, don't expect him to start confessing his undying love for you or anything"

"I just think it doesn't make sense" I mumbled.

"Do not try and analyze this, Maria it's nothing"

"You thought it was something when we practically ran out of the house."

"Yeah at the time sure, but when you think bout it, it's just the La Push Gang being weird again"

"Your probably right." I confessed.

"I know I am" Luca sassed in his usual cocky voice and then led me out of the car.

The school grounds were already filled with students talking and and laughing. Charlotte and Hannah waved to me and then beckoned us to walk over.

"Hey" I attempted to smile, and it succeeded for now. What I really wanted to do instead of listen or be asked to contribute gossip was, to go over my history notes that I didn't get to last night because my head was a mess about the whole Embry thing.

"Hi" They said together at the same time, they then gave each other a freakish look at probably how weird they said something at the same time. I, really, wasn't surprised because they spent already too much time together.

"You two are like twins" Luca teased.

"We are not." Charlotte said, slapping Luca playfully to seem flirtatious. They really did seem like twins, they both dressed alike and had the same dyed blond hair which suited them well. Sometimes I would get them mixed up, which would cause problems.

"Sure" Luca said with a grin.

"We're not" Hannah insisted, also slapping him at the same spot where Charlotte did earlier. They were also very competitive with each other, but they would never stress it.

"Whatever." Charlotte said in an annoyed voice. I wanted to yelp 'like you two have a chance!' But maybe they do, even though I've never caught Luca has never really crossed the friendship border between them.

"Anyway, a little birdie told me that Embry Call is looking for you" Hannah giggled.

"What." I said in a completely alarmed tone.

"Yeah, he came up to us earlier and was like 'Have you seen Maria.' He looked so hot, so what are you, like guys hooking up or whatever what's the deal?" Charlotte said eagerly, desperate to get some 'gossip points' or whatever they called it.

"There's no deal." I said clearly annoyed.

"Sure there isn't." Charlotte teased, they both cued a giggle.

"Well, I'm off." I declared, Luca gave me a concerned look.

"I'm fine." I insisted, trying to calm him down.

"You sure?" He pondered.

"Positive, like you said no big deal." I mocked in a playful tone, reassuring him that I was fine.

"Ok then." He breathed.

I managed to hurry off to the library, only interrupted when Harry comes up to me explaining that he was the one who dumped his girlfriend, and it wasn't the other way around. He wanted me to help 'spread it around,' but I knew I was going to forget the piece of gossip a half hour later. 

Once I make it to the library, I know I'm safe. There is no way a member of the la push gang would be caught in here, they probably didn't know where it was located in the first place.

"Back again Maria" Lucinda said in her casual, mellow voice.

"Yeah, homework you know how it is." I said.

"Yes, though it's a shame your the only one who cares about it" Lucinda sighed, looking around the empty library.

"Luca does sometimes." I added.

"Luca is pleasant isn't he?" She agreed.

"Well good luck" Lucinda said with her signature warm smile, wandering off to the fiction section to return some books to there rightful place.

I scanned through my notes, trying some memorization techniques that helped them say in my head. I usually had a good memory, but due to all the thinking I've been having about a certain someone I haven't been entirely focused.

I heard the door creak open, but whoever it was didn't bother to close the door. I could picture a jock, looking around in confusion to figure out what to do first in order to attempt to raise a grade in one or all of his classes as long as he could stay on some team her belonged to. I rolled my eyes and sunk down in my seat, which wasn't really necessary because I was already in the corner and scary quiet.

"I forgot we had a library" a deep, smooth voice joked. The voice rang in my head, making me recognize it was Quil's.

"I think I came here once Freshmen year, I thought it was my English class" Embry a really husky and deep voice added. Wait I recognize this voice too, it belonged to Embry. One time, he somehow got access to a microphone and sang Jacob Black happy birthday. Which was was about two months ago, I remember because I laughed along with the crowd of students in the cafeteria. But anyways, What the hell was he doing here? Was he looking for me? Or were they just messing around, exploring the school like idiots?

"Yeah I was with you. Thanks by the way." Another boy said sarcastically, his voice was husky and a little lighter than the other two. I looked up for a second and saw it was the three of them standing; Jake, Quil and Embry the 'three musketeers' since the beginning of time. I tried not to cringe at the fact that they might be looking for me, or probably might find me. 
No, you are not going to hide Maria. My brain ordered, and I agreed. Why should I hide? This is my turf, my usual hang out place, my comfort zone in this high school that reminds me of a zoo. I sat up in confidence and started to read, trying to block them out of my comfort zone.

"Do you reckon I'll become smarter from just standing here?" Embry asked, his two friends laughed along with him. What idiots.

"No, but maybe if you get that girl to fall in love with you that might rise your IQ" Jake suggested. I wonder who they were talking about, certainly not me.

"You could even finish high school" Quil added.

"Hey I can finish it anyway I just dumb myself down so you guys feel smart" Embry retaliated.

"Then your overdoing it." Jake said, which sent them into another round of laughter. I noticed Lucinda looking nervous, probably worried that they might vandalize the place or maybe just wondering what on earth were they are doing in here. The door opens again, what the heck? Is the library the new 'it' place now?

"Maria?" Luca called from the entrance in a high volume.

"Lower your voice" Lucinda shushed.

"Right sorry, Maria?" Luca said even louder, which sent me sinking down my seat with heat rushing to my face. Idiot!

I tried to catch Luca's eye, but he kept on looking around oblivious. I sneaked a peak over at the guys, they still haven't noticed me. Embry mumbled something to Jake and Quil and they all began scanning the library for me.

"Luca I'm here" I finally said, capturing Luca's attention and the gang. I avoided eye contact with them, and just kept on focusing my eyes on Luca. I finally buzzed a bee line to Luca, and stood by him.

"There you are, you disappeared again." Luca said, adding a dramatic sigh.

"It's not my fault your that self observed."

"It's not my fault your good at disappearing" Luca retorts back

"Why couldn't you just let me disappear? I had to review some notes from history." I snapped.

"Well, you've done that now, let me fill you on what you have missed"

"Don't bother I know Harry broke up with Heather"

"No, not that I saw that coming she was really clingy."

"What then?" I asked, still trying really hard not to notice that Embry Jake and Quil were listening to every word we were saying.

"Well you know how Hannah and Charlotte mentioned Embry was looking for you?" Luca finally said, getting to the point.

"Luca." I said in a stern voice, trying to get him to lower his voice so the guys couldn't hear what we were conversing.

"No, let me finish. Well he has been asking everyone where you were. It got really boring to hear, about 13 times or so, but it leads me to believe that weird look he gave you the other night might mean something. all I know is he is looking for you and I'm guessing you want to avoid him so I am here to whisk you off and to apologize again for the beeping this morning."

"Luca..."

"What why are you angry, don't shoot the messenger!" He said angrily.

"Luca he found me" I hissed.

"Oh. What did he say? Or were you a bitch?"

"Luca, I didn't talk to him yet. They are standing right by us, and probably eavesdropping our conversation."

"Oh didn't see them, Sorry." He admitted.

"I know" I said with an eye roll, I turned to glance at them, Embry was shaking. What the heck?

"Is there something you wanted Embry Call?" I said in my most formal voice keeping a straight face as I glared at him. I placed my hands on my hips, and waited for him to talk.

"Well I've been looking for you, 'cause I just wanted to say...hi" Embry said shyly.

"Oh...Hi?" I said, but it came out as a question. The statement has thrown me off a bit, I thought he was going to say something nasty or creepy.

"Yeah, hey" He mumbled.

"Smooth man." Quil rolled his eyes. "Real smooth what your acting uncool now to make us look cool now cause your over doing it again"

"Shut up, I am coolie coolie." Embry hissed to Quil.

"Who says coolie coolie" Quil retorted.

"The guy that invented cool?" Embry shrugged.

"Well... see you later guys?" I said, beckoning Luca to walk away with me and we set off.

"Hey wait" Embry shouted behind us.

"What?" I asked, clearly annoyed.

"I-I.." He stuttered. "...just hey again."

"Coolie, coolie." I mocked, grinning a bit at my sudden confidence.

"Why does everyone keep paying out my words?" Embry cried out in annoyance.

"See you around." I called, turning on my side and catching up with Luca.

"Look at you miss Queen of Dramatics" Luca teased.

"What? I was very cool." I said coolly.

"Please! You made that big exit and you flirted"

"I did not flirt" I objected.

"You did too" He sassed.

"What? When?"

"Coolie, coolie? Anyone?!"

"I was just making a joke" I mumbled.

"Well I think Embry liked it."

"Luca stop talking"

"don't worry your actions speak louder then my words"

"Luca.." I warned.

"I'm just saying that-"

"Luca shut up" I scowled at him.

Luca rolled his eyes, putting his arms around me and began to sing 'love is air.' Everyone stared at us, as if they were going to call people white coats any minute to come pick us up to throw us in rubber rooms.

"Shut up" I glared at him.

'Fine." He obeyed.

"Thank you" I smiled.

'Hey Maria?" He asked.

"What?"

"Love is in the air" He sang.

I nudged him as hard as I could.

"What did you hit me for" He yelped.

"Don't play innocent." I retorted.
