So I can't get Embry out of my head, reminds me of that Kylie song, lol anyway what else is there to say well thanks to my beta okaydollface...who is else is there to say anyone have any ideas of what Embry should look like, and what kind of music would inspire me writing this story to go with either Embry or Maria's personality, just asking. Well on with the story.

Chapter Three

Random Huge Guys...They're Everywhere I Swear

Miss Pitt was explaining a procedure in Food Tech, her tone always made me zone out which was surprising because I usually am a pretty good listener. I picked Food Tech because I figured it was a good way to get an easy A and also have fun creating things. Luca picked it too just so he could eat stuff and lay back plus he new as well as anyone else that it was a total easy class to get through and by the looks of the this class anyone in here had the same idea too. , I sighed quietly as Miss Pitt was explaining in detail on how to break an egg. Which, as you can imagine, most of the class had tuned out long ago as well.

"Psst!" Luca whistled to me. I didn't bother to respond, instead I refocused myself to listen to Miss Pitt, unlike the rest of the class.

"Maria, I'm talking to you." Luca said, getting annoyed. I didn't reply.

"Maria." He coughed, I tried to make eye contact with the teacher but she was far to busy into her lecture. 
One time, I met her son once and he was a complete ass, his first words to me were hinting he was a pervert. 
"Are you legal?" He asked me, he looked twenty one and he was gorgeous, but I really didn't care...i just wanted to leave. We were at some college party Luca dragged me too, I recognized the guy from a picture on Miss Pitt's desk, immediately knowing that he was her son.

"No" I replied, looking him in the eye with a glare.

"To Bad it could have been beautiful between us." He sighed, then wandered off to find a new victim. 
Miss Pitt adored her son, claimed that he was a perfect gentleman. I wanted to tell her that her son was a total sleaze and probably would drop out of college.

"Maria." Luca taunted. I kept on listening, and he started to poke me.

"Maria Myra Ramirez." Luca staid sternly, calling me by my full name.

"Maria, Can you just answer me!" Luca begged, I finally turned around, glaring at him.

"Don't be Dramatic" He rolled his eyes.

"What do you want Luca." I asked, my tone was laced with just the right amount of frustration and annoyance.

"I want you to answer me when I call your name"

"Well I want you to not distract me in class"

"God your like a 40 year old" he ranted.

"Luca what do you want." I hissed.

"I wanted to double check we were partners" He mumbeled. I glanced around the room, The girl next to me was drooling like really drooling I think she was asleep. A guy a couple of sits up was well I'm pretty sure he was high what had the youth of America come too. Sadly Luca was the pick of the bunch.

"Yes we are partners." I omened.

"Ok, now you can go back to raising your G.P.A" Luca mocked and then leaned back in his chair as if he were tanning. I turned back to glance at the the front of the classroom and am glad to see Miss Pitt is still talking about eggs, which was good, at least I haven't missed anything.

"Excuse me miss?" A voice said from the back of the room, I turned to see three sheepish looking boys known as Quil, Jake, and Embry. I didn't know they were in this class, maybe they transferred over today. What were they, stalking me? What creeps; I should really ask the office to tell them about this and maybe they could do something. Two days ago, I never would see them around and now they were all over the place.

Though I had to admit that is not what really worried me at the moment, it's the fact that almost all of them have black on them, as if something blew up on them. Dear god what did they do? Idiots.

"Oh my! What happened to you boys." Miss Pitt asked alarmed, The whole class was looking at them now, confused as I was.

"Embry blew up the microwave." Quil accused, sounding like a four year old.

"That is not true miss! It was Jake's fault!" Embry retorted.

"It was not." Jake objected.

"It was Embry's fault he left the knife in the bowl!" Quil elaborated.

"He gave me the bowl with the knife in it, I just assumed that it was meant to be there. Sorry for still having faith in my friends!" Embry argued.

"Please never have faith in me. You'll get us all killed" Quil said, shaking his head. The class all laughed then, I just bowed my head down at how stupid this school was. I saw Luca laughing as well, Idiot.

"Anyway the point is, our teacher sent us here since she, was busy, um, taking care of the mess" Jake informed her.

"Oh, well um what does he expect me too do" Miss Pitt asked, They all shrugged. Embry caught my eye and I looked down.

"Well maybe you should all go visit the principal, that's a good idea, well off you go boys!" Miss Pitt suggest, ushering them out.

The boys shrugged, not even looking bothered at the thought of visiting the Principal. What idiots, did they not realize how bad that looked in college applications? Though I highly doubt they'll bother with college probably just end up marrying some girl who falls for there looks, point blank, and marries them while they get some boring local job they hate and go to the Pub every day to and relive their glory days in high school with each other.

"Wait!" Miss Pitt yelled behind them.

We all jumped at how loud that women was, she was obviously nervous and unsure what too do with the boys so what in the world could she possibly want now with them.

"Yeah?" Quil said, his face showed off that he was utterly confused.

"I think Miss Pitt just checked out Quil." Luca whispered into my ear, I shoved his face away from me with my hand forcefully without evening turning around.

"Don't push me away she so was" He uttered.

"I don't really care, if she was"

"But if it was Embry I'm sure that would be a different story" He teased.

"You know what Luca, you'd be a really great mute."

"And you'd be really great if you relaxed"

"How inspirational" I mused.

"I do what I can"

"Now Luca do us all a favor and shut up." I retorted.

"Maria?" Miss Pitt called from the front of the room, oh shit! If Luca got us in trouble then I swear I would snap his neck.

"Yes?" I said innocently, looking over to her where she was standing. She was by the three guys and their faces were both surprised and confused, I guess they really weren't stalking me because it looked like they didn't know I was in this class.

"Would you mind taking these boys to the office, just in case they end up skipping? They do have a history of that." She asked.

"I think Luca would like too" I retaliated, trying to shrug off the task to someone else. I really wanted to say; 'Come on Miss Pitt! Give me a break, you must know what I'm trying to do is to be nice please. 
"I would prefer it if you did it." Miss Pitt said sternly. Translation: This isn't an option you have to do this.

"Ok" I obeyed. I took my time walking to the three, I wasn't going to rush just for them. I'm sure they could wait.

"I hear the janitor closets free if you know what I mean" Luca whispered behind me.

"Your giving me a lift home today" I hissed. Luca didn't bother answering me, he knew he couldn't get out of it. I made my over too Embry, Quil, and Jake, Embry was looking rather nervous while the other two look a tad amused. It didn't matter anyway, it was a pretty short walk to the office, nothing was going to happen in that time.

"Don't be long Maria" Miss Pitt called.

"I won't" I reassured, and lead the three to the office. I could hear the boys footsteps behind me, at least I know they were following instead of ditching. It was silent for a while, I didn't mind it very much; it made this a lot easier and faster.

"So, do you normally do this stuff" Jake said, I turned to my left side and was surprised to see them now all walking beside me. Jake was too my left, Quil was to my right and Embry was to Quil's right. He reminded me of myself when we had a pop quiz, I detested not being able to prepare for something; It made me feel sick honestly.

"What stuff?" I asked.

"Lead, troubled children to the office." Jake smirked.

"No, not really." I replied formally.

"Probably best that way. Your boyfriend wouldn't like that, right?" Jake asked. Was he seriously trying to be subtitle about asking if I had a boyfriend? I picked up my pace, trying to ignore the question.

"Don't you have a boyfriend?" Quil asked curiously.

"Why does it matter?" I asked shortly.

"Just a question." He mumbled.

"Well it was irrelevant" I snapped.

"Touchy subject, what bad break up or something?" Jake asked sympathetically.

"Think whatever you want." I uttered.

"Your making it hard to talk to you, you know I think Embry is to afraid to open his mouth." Quil joked. I looked over at Embry for a second, he glared at Quil and shook a bit, but quil patted his shoulder and he cooled down. Did he have a medical condition or something? Or does he just have that bad of a temper? 
"Um, so I'm taking you guys to the Nurses office." I said, ignoring Quil's comment.

"Huh?" Jake asked.

"I mean that microwave blew up on you three, you should go to the nurses office."

"Nah, we're fast healers we''ll fine"

"It's only logical to go there first" I argued.

"Where here now" Jake said, opening the door to the office wandering in as well as he cut me off. Quil marched after him, grinning at me. I waited for Embry to walk in, so I could make sure they were all in there before I took off. Embry was the last to walk in, looking at me with an intense expression similar to the one he gave me at Sam's house.

"Thanks." Embry said quietly, following the others. He was usually so cocky and confident, he sounded so quiet and nervous.

"No problem." I mumbled, heading back to class.

"So...what happened" Luca asked, as we got into his car. I've managed to avoid the gang for the rest of the day since at lunch, Luca and some other people went off to some food joint; mainly because I demanded we went somewhere new to mix it up and after a couple of whys they agreed. When I went into the cafeteria to meet up with the group, I swore the whole time Embry was starring at me with that intense look again.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about." He smirked.

"I really don't"

"When you walked Embry and Quil and Jake to the office"

"Nothing." I declared.

"Did nothing involve panting and moaning?"

"Your so gross." I rolled my eyes.

"Well did it?"

"No I walked them there, Jake and Quil questioned me about if I had a boyfriend and then Embry said thank you, end of story."

"Hang on let me get this straight, Jake and Quil asked about if you had a boyfriend?"

"Yeah" I said, staring out the window.

"They were checking it out for Embry" Luca confirmed. "So what did you say?"

"I avoided the question"

"Are you Maria Myra Ramirez playing hard to get?" He teased.

"What? No?" Was I?

"You are not telling them if you had a boyfriend or not. Way to play with Embry's mind good work" He congratulated.

"I was not!" I grunted.

"Here's your stop." Luca said, cutting me off.

"Your a jerk" I slammed the car door and he rolled down the window.

"See you tomorrow" Luca winked and drove off. I trudged up the steps and opened the door, immediately feeling exhausted from today.

"I'm home" I called to whomever was the house, kicking of my shoes at the door stop.

"We're in the lounge room" Mum called. We're? Wasn't my dad in work? I almost died of shock when I saw Sam Uley sitting in our lounge room, talking to my mother.

"Maria your home!" Mum beamed.

"Hey?" I greeted, purposely making it come out as a question.

"You know Sam don't you" Mum asked in a giddy tone.

"Yeah. Nice to see you again, Sam." I forced a smile.

"You two Maria" Sam nodded.

What was Sam doing in my house, were the la push gang sudden;y stalking me? What did they freaking want? I tried not to narrow my eyes at him, my mum would strangle me. She would start a lecture right there nagging 'Maria why would you do that?' or 'I thought I raised you better than that!' So all I did was smile pleasantly at him.

"Sam here was just inviting us too a La Push Camp Fire get together as a welcoming!" She beamed.

"Isn't he four years to late?" I asked harshly.

"Maria don't be rude" Mum

"Oh, sorry." I grumbled.

"We wait until we know you'll be staying in the community." Sam said smoothly. I didn't buy it, I knew this had to be connected with Embry's creepy stance that day at his house. Maybe that was a invitation or a sign that I belonged to the freaking colt they were in. I wanted to scowl right then, but I just kept my fake smile radiating.

"Well I best to be off, but I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, Rosa" Sam said, getting up.

"Yes we will certainly be there, it was nice meeting you!" Mum said, smiling widely

"I'll show myself out" Sam nodded to me and before my mother could object he was out of the room.

"Isn't that nice Maria" Mum mused.

"Wonderful." I said sarcastically.

"Maria don't be rude!"

"Mum, come on! A welcoming after 4 years of living here" I argued/

"It's the thought that counts" She murmured.

"Do I have to go?" I whined.

"Maria Myra Ramirez, you will be going not going would be rude" Mum scolded.

"What is it with everyone saying my full name today." I mumbled to myself.

"So how was your day?" Mum asked quietly.

"I have homework." I grumbled, grabbing my bag walking up to my room. There was no way I was going to go to a stupid campfire with those stupid creeps. But I knew that I would get seriously in trouble if I ditched the whole 'welcoming.' I opened up my mathematics textbook trying to force thoughts of Embry and that whole gang out of my head.
