It was morning again and I was off to my usual routine. Unfortunately, the sun wasn't shining and it wasn't warm at all.

Luckily my student teaching was canceled because of the bad weather. So I called the guys when I was on my lunch break and told them to meet right after class at Sue's Diner.

It was raining terribly. The winds were high and the rain was pouring hard. You were lucky if you could see in front of you.

Of course, being me, you had advantages, but I was worried for the guys. They shouldn't be driving to meet me in this weather.

I pulled out my phone while still listening to my teacher of my last class.

I quickly messaged a mass text to my team.

Hey,

Its raining really hard here, so I'm guessing its even worse for you.

Just stay in the car on campus and I will come and get you.

See you all soon.

Xoxo Bella.

As soon as it sent, I put away my phone. I needed to pay attention. School was almost going to be over and that meant finals.

My phone vibrated in my pocket, telling me I had a message.

I read it and smiled. It was from all of them on Jared's phone.

Thanks Bella! ~ Jared

We will all be in my car! 3 Leah

Because she drove today! Embry =)

And Jared said we need to pick up Brady from school. =/ Also… Can we ma

Sorry, Leah was being a phone hog. She said that last line fyi ~Jared

Was not! And yes, I said that last line stupid. =P 3 Leah

Anyways, see you soon! Embry =)

I laughed quietly and responded.

Alrighty. I will look for Leah's car in the lot and we will pick up Brady on the way to the diner. Did you guys need anything else?

Xoxo Bella

A response came quickly.

Yes! 3 Leah

No. We will let you go ~Jared

Wait! I wanted to ask… 3 Leah

No. We are good Bella. See you soon. Sorry for Leah's interruptions. Embry =)

I smiled at my phone and typed back to them.

Oookkk. Well if you need anything I will have my phone on me. Class is about to end, so I will be there soon. Leah, we can talk when I get in the car.

Love all!

Xoxo Bella

This time, for good, I put my phone in my pocket and picked up my pen to write notes.

The professor dismissed us, and told us to be careful out there.

I packed all my stuff and watched as everyone exited the room.

Unfortunately, I had Storm, my bike, so I was going to get pretty wet.

The ride over there would be at least 40 minutes, but with everyone being advised not to drive on the freeways or go anywhere but home, I figured I would make good timing. Plus, I could always teleport if I needed to.

With everyone almost out of the class and not paying any attention, I stuck my hand in my bag and 'poof-ed' some clothes in my bag.

I made sure no one saw me and then zipped up my bag and was on my way.

I ran out of the academic building and over to my bike.

I hopped on the wet seat, put my helmet on and started my baby up. The engine roared to life and I was off.

I took all the expressways, and since they were either all empty or closed, I teleported a lot.

Within 15 minutes I was in the lot of their college campus.

The parking lot was practically empty, except for a few cars and a black jeep I knew immediately.

I parked my bike right next to it and kicked the kickstand down.

I pulled the wet helmet off and looked at myself.

I was drenched with water. My pants were soaking and my jacket was barely holding up.

"Bella! Get it!" a voice interrupted me.

I looked over and saw everyone.

Without another thought, I jumped off the bike and hopped in the car.

"Bella, you're drenched!" Leah pointed out.

"No shit Sherlock." I complained. The car was cramped and I was wet, my clothes sticking to me. Jared was in the driver's seat while Leah and Embry were in the back by each of the window seats. This left me in the middle.

"Bella, how are you going to be able to sit through a whole meeting wet like this?" Embry asked.

I held up my bag. "I brought a change of clothes. Don't worry."

"How did you get here so fast?" Leah asked suddenly.

I flashed her smile. "Well, the highways were all empty and a lot of them were closed because of the weather…so I kind of just teleported a lot."

She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Nice."

"But wouldn't it have just been easier to teleport into our car from the beginning?" Embry asked.

This time, I rolled my eyes, and looked at him. "Where is your sense of adventure? Or fun? It's just something I like to do. Teleporting has its advantages, but really, it's not that fun."

He looked at me like I was crazy. So I knew I had to explain it further.

"You could either be there in a split second, not enjoying the ride of life. Or… you can hop on Storm, a super fast bike I might add, and enjoy getting wet for a few minutes. Plus, I teleported too, so I got the best of both worlds."

I watched as different emotions crossed Embry's face. He was really thinking this through.

"How are we going to see past all of this rain? I may be a werewolf, but even I can't see through this." Jared said.

I pushed my hair away from my face and began to get up from the seat.

"I can help with that."

I made my way between the driver and passenger seat and sat down in the front.

"I can make a pathway, lift the rain you could say, so we can see." I told Jared.

He looked shocked and nodded. "Sweet."

The car started and music started to play.

I looked out the windshield and then lifted some of the rain.

"I can't get rid of all the rain or else it will be too noticeable. But I can lift it up enough so you will be able to see to drive. So it should get us to the Diner and then we can wait till the rain starts to die down on its own to go back home."

He nodded and began driving. The windshield wipers were on max, but you could definitely see.

We waited outside of the school for Brady and he came out right away.

"Hey guys." He muttered.

"Hey!" everyone said and then Jared took off again.

We made it in good time and all ran into the Diner.

The little bells chimed when we swung the door open and we were all hit with the aroma of coffee.

"Bella?" Sue asked from behind the counter.

I looked over to the woman who called my name and smiled. "Hey Sue!" I waved.

She moved a part of the counter up and walked to the other side where customers stood.

Sue walked up to me with a big smile and I noticed she wore little makeup, not that she needed it.

I watched as she came up to me. She was wearing a yellow uniform with light pink trim at the seams and a white apron. She had white tennis shoes and jewelry on, which I thought was kind of unusual for a waitress to wear, but she was the owner.

The gold necklace that dropped down into the uniform glittered against the light in the diner.

I knew it was Harry's, her husbands, wedding ring.

Harry died a few months before I came here. Renee told me, and I think that was the only time I got to send a card there.

I couldn't really say anything private or too personal because Renee insisted she read it before I sent it.

"Hey honey." She cheered and hugged me.

I was soaking wet, so I quickly pulled away.

"Sorry, I'm wet." I explained.

She nodded and smiled. "So what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Just hanging out with the guys for a bit." I told her, nodding to the booth over by the window.

She nodded and continued to smile a genuine smile.

"Well are you going to be here for dinner? I could take the night off and we could all have a big dinner."

As much as I wanted to, I shook my head. "As great as that sounds, we just came to talk about a football strategy, and then I have to head back so I get ready for finals." I groaned.

She laughed at my face and then patted my shoulder. "Alright, but you need to come by and see Charlie so then I can make us all a big dinner."

I smiled. I always liked Sue. "Of course, as soon as finals are done."

We stood there talking a little more, before I excused myself to go get changed.

I told the guys and they nodded.

When I came out of the bathrooms, I was in warm dry clothes.

That feels so much better. I sighed to myself.

I slid into the booth, next to Leah and we began talking.

Soon, Sue came over to take our orders.

"What would you guys like to drink?" She asked sweetly.

"Water please" Embry said.

"I will have a Coke." Jared decided.

"me too." Brady said.

"Hot chocolate please mom." Leah said.

"I will have a hot chocolate too please." I said.

She nodded and left.

We went back to talking about a plan.

"How come we can't just go with our plan that gave us a win last time?" Leah whined.

"Because they will be expecting that. If I know Jake, he will be extra cautious that doesn't happen again." I told her.

She sighed, and we continued to brain storm.

As we all actively talked about a plan that actually could work, Sue came back with out drinks.

When she was done passing them out, she stood there looking at us.

"What on earth are you guys talking about?" she asked putting the tray under her arm, staring at us like we were crazy.

Well, I guess we kind of were. There we all were, huddled together over the back of a paper placemat, with pens in hand, planning a strategy for the game.

"We are planning for the big football game mom." Leah explained, going back to talk with the group.

"We have newbies joining us this year." I told her.

She smiled at us and nodded. "Is Sam on your team?"

I shook my head which caused her to raise an eyebrow.

"He isn't?"

"Nope." I smiled.

She let out a whistle and took out the tray from her arm. "This will be a game to watch."

She walked away and I laughed. Yea, it definitely will.

I watched everyone in the diner, just observing everything, till I was hit on the arm by Jared.

"How about this Bella?" he asked showing me the play.

I listened to it, and then all of their ideas and nodded. "Yea, but now we need some back up plans and well…more plans."

They all laughed and we all got to work.

It was after about 2 hot chocolates, 1 club sandwich, and a soda, that we declared we were finally done.

We had a bunch of plays and a back up plan for each, which some of the back ups had a back up for that.

"Finally." Brady huffed.

We all laughed and Leah excused herself from the table.

After we paid, we all got up. I gave Sue one last hug before headed back to the car with the guys.

The rain had pretty much stopped. It was a light drizzle, and not even as close as bad as earlier.

We dropped Brady and Embry off, and then Jared. Leah insisted that she drive me to my bike so I was stuck.

"Leah, I could have just teleported there." I grumbled as she drove.

She kept her eyes on the road, but raised an eyebrow.

"And what happened to the whole 'where's the adventure? Or fun?' speech?" she asked, quoting me.

"Oh shut up." I didn't know what else to say.

She laughed and kept driving.

Within minutes after that, we pulled up to campus.

"Thanks Leah. See you Thursday!"

She smiled and told me the same before I shut the door.

I took my helmet off the seat and wiped off as much water I could get off the bike.

When it was enough not to drench me, I hopped on and started the engine.

I pulled away and found Leah waiting for me.

We pulled out of the lot together and she honked to me as I waved to her when we went our separate ways.

I used the expressways again, enjoying the ride of my bike.

It took me a while to get home, but I enjoyed it. I rarely got to spend some quality time with Storm.

Maybe Jake and I can fix up storm a little. I will have to pitch the idea to him. I told myself.

I parked storm and walked up to my apartment.

When I got in, I threw my keys on the counter, and immediately made my way to the shower.

I let the water steam up the room before stripping off my clothes and stepping in.

The hot water drenched my body and I sighed in content as I began to feel warm again.

After a long time in the shower, I decided to get out and do some work.

I wrapped a white fluffy towel around my body and stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair.

When my hair was brushed and partially dry, I walked out of the bathroom and went to find some clothes.

I decided since it was already 9pm, I would just put on some P.J's

I sat at the kitchen table with my books all around me. I finished working and studying around 2am and decided to call it a night.

I put away everything and then headed to my room.

My bed looked so inviting, I was about ready to jump in it and never leave.

I threw back the covers, slid in, and fell asleep.
