Thank you for all the comments, the story will begin to move along now after this chapter. So remember to review, fave, read etc. You are all amazing :D

"Wait, wait, wait, just wait a second" Quil's voice broke across the conversation Kim and I were having as we sat on the floor of the indoor sports hall.

We were approaching February but the weather was still awful and so our gym lessons were still spent indoors just talking, the guys mostly stayed away from us due to our boring 'girly' talks but today we had caught their attention and Quil obviously wasn't impressed.

"You would be a vampire over a wolf?" He walked slowly over to us, his face assessing us as he came and I could see Embry and Jake paying us an equal amount of attention from their perched positions on the stack of desks in the corner of the room. I nodded at him and he scowled at me. "Where's the loyalty to your pack?" He sounded offended but his eyes shifted to Kim who threw her hands up in surrender.

"Oh come on Quil, wouldn't you love to be a vamp?" I whisper yelled at him making sure no one around us could hear us and he jerked back as if hearing the stupidest thing he had ever heard.

"Yeah I would love to go around sucking blood and being so ice cold that if I touched a glass of water it would freeze"

"Does that happen?" I glanced at Kim and she shrugged, I had not been told they could freeze water.

"No it doesn't but they are still cold and deathly, why would you be a leech over a wolf?"

"Because if I were a vampire I would sparkle in the sun and have perfect skin, you wolves sprout fur and make strange growling noises when you eat" I argued back fighting my grin, I was only teasing him. I would never be a vampire, they were creepy. Kim had sparked the conversation as we talked about our favourite films and she mentioned one about a vampire, I had never heard of it but she raved on about how good it was. I had caught quite early on that our words were annoying the guys and so I maybe, sort of twisted the conversation to one that would stir this reaction and it had.

"Sparkle in the sun. Do you hear this chick?" He turned and looked at the other two who had turned their frowns into grins; I think they knew I was winding him up.

"This chick has a name, dweeb" I flicked the bottom of his leg that was uncovered because of his gym shorts and he stared down at me.

"You want to sparkle in the sun?" He asked and I nodded, an agitated huff leaving his body. "Then go sprinkle yourself with glitter, Sam will flip if you say you want to be a vampire"

"I never said I would turn into one, I just said I didn't want to be a wolf because you don't sparkle"

"I can't deal with this, sparkle in the sun, stupidest thing I have ever heard" Quil turned and ranted as he walked back to his friends, both of them smirking as they watched me wind him up.

He kept ranting as we walked out of the changing rooms and to the parking lot, then he ranted while riding in Embry's truck and as we all pulled up outside Sams he began ranting at me again.

"I mean you would have to suck blood and never sleep, or eat food but all you care about is sparkling in the sun, I mean really?" He called out as Kim and I pushed our way in through the already open front door, both of us giggling as we heard the frustration in his usually playful voice. He was getting so stressed out over it.

"I vant to suck your blood" I whispered to Kim and as she looked at me I bared my teeth causing her to laugh while Quil tutted behind me.

"Oh yeah it's all fun and games until one of us has to rip you apart and throw you on a fire"

"Woah, woah, woah who is ripping my sister apart and why?" A new voice cut over the angry one of Quil and as we fell through the door I saw Sam sat at his table, Paul was next to him and they were both leant over as if we had just interrupted an important conversation. Paul glanced at me but only briefly, he looked stressed out and the paleness of his normally tanned face made my smile fade, he looked ill.

"Your dear little sister wants to be a leech" As Quil's words left his mouth Paul's pale face snapped back around, staring, no glaring at Quil as he spoke.

"You want to what?"

"She wants to sparkle in the sun" Jake walked in, his laughter filling the room while I stared at Paul who was growing angrier by the second.

"Kim said it first" I grinned at Quil and he pouted like a child, I thought I would wind Embry up more than Quil but Embry was outside laughing.

"That makes it so much better, she called us stinky animals and said we ate like pigs but being a leech is fine because she would sparkle. Ground her Sam, she has no loyalty or brains"

"Oh Quil don't get so worked up, it's not that bad I just want to be pretty and have perfect hair and make up" I pushed his arm and he let out a short growl before frowning harder.

"I'm not getting worked up, you were the one going on about sparkling in the sun. Do you realise that being a leech we would have to kill you"

"She's not becoming one, she said it would be fun to sparkle in the sun" Jake who was still laughing as he sat himself down beside Sam spoke up, Sam had at first looked annoyed but as the conversation went on his expression changed to that of amusement, he too could see I was only winding Quil up.

"Then get some glitter and bath in it, I don't understand why you had to talk badly about us wolves as if we couldn't hear you"

"Quil" A sudden shout snapped across Quil's words and I turned to see Paul glaring at his friend. "She's winding you up, quit it" He lowered his voice but he was still snapping and Quil didn't say another word.

Even Paul could see it, Paul who looked ready to pass out. I wanted to check he was ok but I didn't, I had barely seen him let alone talked to him since the nail comment, I hadn't meant to get worked up over it but I had realised what he thought of me and it hurt. I hated people thinking I was some city kid who lived the high life when in actual fact it was the opposite, I had a good life but it wasn't perfect by any means.

"Well it's not funny" He pouted again and Kim giggled as she turned to the open door.

"Come on Quil let's get you home and you can cry to your mommy" Embry shouted and the three people who had travelled here with us began to leave, Quil stopped and gave me a glare as he went. I think he actually hated me, I had only been joking. I waved a quick goodbye as they all turned straight back around and out to the truck, shutting the door as they went.

The room around me went quiet quickly, nobody said a word and so the only noise offered was the tapping of Sam's pen as he hit it against the wooden table.

"I was umm only joking, he gets annoyed easily" I stumbled my words out as Sam continued to watch me, his expression halfway between amusement and unease. He gave a swift nod understanding what I meant and I took the opportunity to run for the stairs, Paul's head stayed bent at the table not looking up to watch me go and I was glad for it. I hadn't spoken to him since the nail comment, admittedly looking back on it I overreacted by getting so upset but he had this ability to make me feel so crap about myself even when he barely said a word.

I barely made it to the top step before I heard the low voices of my brother and his friend, however they hardly sounded friendly. They were rushed and filled with a bluntness I hadn't heard coming from Sam before but I couldn't make their words out, the only ones I heard clearly were 'out' 'screw' and 'shit', I guess they were arguing.

As I walked around my bedroom changing from my school clothes into my shorts and top my eyes fell over the bedside table, there lay the pictures of both home and here. I had changed, at least I think I had, but then maybe I hadn't. In Chicago I never really got upset, or worried over peoples thoughts, I got on with what I did and I was happy but here, well here I seemed to be upset a lot more and I worried but the only person I worried over was someone I barely knew. A guy who to me was just a guy, I had changed, maybe not for the better.

I flicked my music on letting the sound fill my room as I flopped back onto my bed with a sigh, I tried not over thinking it, I was trying to settle here and get used to the wolves situation so I was bound to be emotional. I think, maybe, I was only a girl and a girl can only take so much before her crying barrier collapsed and the tears fell, I guess mine were weaker when it came to a particular person and his grumpiness.

My eyes glided over the math homework in front of me, I hated math, I sucked at math and I was pretty sure I was failing it. Who the hell knew what the answer was to that? How did I know what it was when I couldn't even understand what it meant or how to read it? When in my life would I need to know how to use algebra? When I'm doing the grocery shopping or maybe when I'm buying some shoes? It was ridiculous. I threw my pen down as I scanned the first question, if I was stuck on this one then I had no hope of the others. A long agitated groan left my mouth and over the top of my music a harsh knock hit the door.

"Come in" I called out expecting Sam to come in and ask me if I was hungry before throwing a donut or cookie at me, he did it most days, I wasn't complaining but my hips were. Lack of dance meant my already tight skinny jeans were becoming tighter.

The door opened and I glanced up, a small smile spreading across my face as I expected a baked good to hit me but instead all that met me was the pale and tired face of Paul, he looked sheepish and as my smile dropped his jaw clenched. Why was he up here? I didn't know what to say or do. I was spread out on the bed on my stomach, my top and shorts obviously ridden up and his eyes gave a quick glance at my body, I blushed as he looked me over but as soon as he did it his hovering and awkward body went rigid and he went to leave. Obviously I was hideous to him.

"Hi" I slipped out and he stopped in his attempt to walk back out, I moved to my knees and adjusted the clothing on me so that I was half covered up. His mouth moved but I could barely hear him over the screeching Taylor Swift was doing on my radio so I reached for it and flicked it off. "Sorry" I added in and he gave a tiny smile before edging into the room a bit more.

"Umm I just I umm, are you busy?" He choked out, his voice not it's usually husky tone, it lacked something and I didn't like it. I shook my head and he walked closer to me, his body hovering awkwardly at the foot of my bed as his eyes darted anywhere that wasn't me.

"I was just doing my homework, although doing is probably the wrong word, I was looking at it and failing to understand" I spoke as an uncomfortable silence took over the room and he nodded back at me, his eyes training harder on the paper in front of us.

"Sam's just gone to pick Emily up from her sister's house so I thought I would let you know, he said he's bringing food home with him and for you to not raid the kitchen for food"

Paul was still concentrating on the math work as he spoke although a small trace of a smile spread over his lips as he spoke about me raiding the kitchen and I had to copy it, Sam always told me off for eating too much when I got back from school. My argument is that I am a growing girl but apparently it's not normal for someone to eat a bowl of cereal, melted nutella and strawberries and then a full blown meal. I would say it was normal, it never bothered my mom.

"Thanks"

He nodded and looked up at me, his eyes finally meeting mine although the contact didn't last long. He looked awful; it was almost like he hadn't slept for a month.

"Umm I also wanted to talk to you" He spoke a little louder this time, the low rumble his voice held snuck back up as he lifted his hand to run it over the wooden foot of my bed, his fingers feeling all of the grooves and scratches there before stopping at the bed knob and holding onto it for support. I said nothing, I just waited with held breath for whatever comment was going to leave his mouth. I was never sure when it came to Paul.

"It's just about, umm, you know" He struggled and his hand lifted and waved at the door.

Downstairs? He kept looking at the door and his top teeth came out to nibble at his bottom lip. The vampire thing maybe?

"Oh don't worry about it"

"Really?" He seemed shocked and I nodded at him, it was just a joke.

"I was only saying it to wind the guys up during gym class, I don't want to be a vampire no matter how perfectly pretty it would make me or how good my body would be" I gave him a smile but he didn't return it, instead his forehead creased in confusion before softening out like he realised what I meant.

"As glad as I am to hear that, it isn't what I meant"

My head jerked to the side at his words, I had no idea what he meant if it wasn't that.

"I actually was on about the night when I made the comment about your umm you know" His hand raised and he wiggled his fingers at me, my nails. That had been nearly three weeks ago, I hadn't seen him since. "I just wanted to tell you that I realised I've been unfair to you, I didn't mean to upset you or be mean I just, I don't even know I just guess I wanted to say sorry and I hope it hasn't made you hate me"

"I don't hate you" I didn't even need to lie about it, I didn't hate him, I was wary of him but it wasn't hatred. His pale face seemed to lift as I spoke and he met my eye contact again, a shimmer of happiness glinting across his eyes.

"Good, I just didn't want us to be on bad terms because Sam is my best friend and you're a part of the pack so maybe we could be friends" He sounded like a child and my heart melted for him, he sounded really sheepish and sweet.

My smile grew as I nodded. "Friends sounds good to me"

"Good, good, I uhhh well I should probably go" He twisted and looked at the door, his face unable to hide the fact he was trying not to smile. He looked ready to walk away but he lingered, his eyes shooting down at the page in front of me again. "It's 3 by the way, question one the answer is 3"

I looked down automatically, my eyes trying to figure out the algebraic question laying there but I had no idea what it was. It was a jumble of numbers, letters and signs.

"Trust me, it is 3 and question two is 77"

"How can you do that? I can't do it if I have paper, a text book and the internet to cheat from" I whined only to receive a little shrug from the guy stood above me.

"It's easy really, you just well that is basically being multiplied by this one and then you square it and divide it by x" His thick finger began pointing to the numbers on the page but I wasn't following him, I was in shock that he knew it. Without sounding like a complete bitch, he didn't look the type to have brains.

"I was good at math, if you need help then just ask" He offered and my body froze in slight uncertainty at the friendly gesture. I was almost waiting for the comment to follow but he kept his mouth shut moving for the door.

It was only as he opened the door he stopped, his head turning but only slightly so that I could see his expression but he wasn't looking at me.

"You don't need to be a vampire to be those things, you've got them down as a human" And with a quick smirk he left, shutting the door behind him and leaving me in a state of confusion and hot blushes.

I had said being a vampire would make me pretty, perfectly so but he just said I was doing it as a human. Did that mean he thought I was pretty? My body was nice? My face blushed hotter and my stomach jolted uncomfortably, he said I was pretty. I had definitely changed, back in Chicago a comment like that would earn the guy a swift flip off but Paul had left me shell shocked and in a state of heated blushing. I was losing my mind over this guy when we had only been friends for five minutes.

...

Friends, I had been sceptical but as the week ticked by the kindness remained and not only did Sam and Paul seem to fight less, Paul looked healthier. His russet skin was again holding it's glow and his eyes sparkled, the tiny speck of grey that hid their shone out each time he smiled or laughed. I guess he could be a decent guy; he just had problems showing it.

One thing that hadn't eased up was the sense of being watched, each time I went for a run I could feel something or someone behind me but when I turned there was nothing but trees. It worried me but not enough that I told Sam, there weren't vampires in these parts at the moment, only Renesmee's family and they weren't any harm to humans. The feeling of being watched didn't even feel dangerous, it felt sort of safe and at times nice, I had shivers running down my back as I ran and a warm burning feeling against my body but it still bugged me to no end that I felt that way. After another Saturday afternoon run I put it down to paranoia. The trees and wind were making me paranoid.

"Hey, Savannah" My name was called out as I stumbled across the damp sand of Second Beach, it was a freezing cold February night and of all nights Sam and Emily decided to throw a 'get together' that consisted of a bonfire, BBQ and the whole pack. The beach that was already littered in drift wood had become harder to walk on due to the dampness the earlier rain had caused but I guess it wasn't the worst night they could have chosen, last night had been a storm but tonight the sky was clear just cold.

I turned at the call and found Quil waving at me from the group already laid out on the blankets and logs set near a small fire. He jumped from his position on the blanket covered in dolls and teddy bears and reached into his pocket as if finding something.

"I got something for you" He had a scowl on his face much like he had for the remainder of the week at school after my vampire joke. A piece of paper was thrust at me and on it was a number, above the number lay a name. Jasper. I had no idea who Jasper was and as I looked at Quil he started smirking.

"Who is Jasper?" I asked as he offered no explanation and a mixture of laughs and growls filled the windswept night, my eyes found the pack and I saw most of them were laughing, Paul and Sam however weren't. "What? Who is he?"

"He's the Cullen who still craves human blood, he's not as vegetarian as the others" Embry offered up and received a nudge from Jacob and from Nessie who was sat playing with a doll and Claire he got a scowl, she obviously didn't like his explanation of her family member. I still had no idea why Quil gave me his number, was he looking to date me or something? I didn't get it.

"You said you wanted to sparkle so give him a call, I am sure if you just tilt your neck like this he will love a quick bite" Quil finally chirped up, a smirk on his young face and Sam let out another annoyed growl.

"That is not funny Quil" Sam shouted and Paul looked like he was about to do the same but restrained himself by sipping on a bottle of something, beer probably; him and Sam were old enough.

I glanced back at Quil who obviously thought he was hilarious. He wasn't, he was able to dish the jokes out but unable to take them. I put my own hand into my pocket as he smirked down at me. "I have something for you too"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah" I pulled my hand back out flicking my middle finger as I went and a series of 'oo's let up from Embry and the younger guys. I offered Quil another smile and his grew but this time he actually looked amused by me. "You are such an ass, Quil"

"No need to swear in front of the children, dear" Quil piped up again and I glanced at the two girls, they weren't even looking. "Besides, you started it"

"I did not, you started it" I argued back and a swift yell cut across us.

"Would you two just shut up, damn you're annoying" It was a voice I didn't recognise, a females voice. I half expected to look and see Rachel but as I searched for the owner of the voice I saw a completely different girl sat beside Seth, her body led down as she held a phone above her face. I had no idea who she was.

Quil gave a little shrug and went back to his place beside Claire where she quickly started abusing him with hair clips and make up lip stick. The guy was whipped by a three year old. My eyes stayed on the girl but I didn't ask who she was, I just walked to where Emily was stood smiling somewhat awkwardly and gave a hello to anyone who was there.

The guys went to play football while I sat with Kim, I had her check my homework partly because I didn't understand and also because she was a whizz at math and I wanted to see if Paul was right, which he was.

"You did those? You got the hardest two right and the rest wrong Savannah" Kim laughed a little as she glanced down at the math sheet, my heart began thumping and my eyes shot up to the group playing football. One of them stopped and he looked back at me, no smile set on his face, he just stared at me, assessing me almost. Paul, maybe he was a math genius.

"No, I had some help with those two" I mumbled out and Kim followed my gaze to where the guys were playing Paul had now moved and Embry stood in his place not paying the slightest attention to the girls watching him.

"Who Embry? He can't do this stuff, Jacob maybe"

"Just a friend, I just wanted to see how badly I had done" I glanced back at her and she shrugged again.

"Not horrifically, should be a C or D maybe. You know I can help you with math, just ask and I'll come study with you" She offered and I shook my head, her offer didn't sound as good as Paul's had. Part of me wanted to ask him for help because at least then I would be talking to him and getting to know him other than as Sam's friend.

"Girls, come help" Emily called for us and I jumped up avoiding any more questions from Kim about who had helped me or how badly I was doing. As I set about giving Claire and Renesmee their plates of food I felt the feeling again, the one from this afternoon, from every run. The burning and shivering, like someone was staring so hard at me they could hear my thoughts, sense my every emotion. I snapped my head around to the guys now walking over to us, each one of them talking to each other or shouting to Emily about food, each one but one. One of them was staring at me and as I looked at him he looked away, Paul. It couldn't be him; he wouldn't follow me or stir that feeling. I shook it off and went back to offering the two girls drinks and snacks, each one of them only going for the candy rather than the burgers.

Everyone had demolished their food before Sam even got around to offering me mine, a mozzarella and pesto burger that Emily had made, it tasted pretty good to be fair. Seth sat beside me, his face turning up in disgust at the food on my plate and he leaned closer to my face so that I could see clearly when he ripped into his chicken leg and tore the meat from the bone. He was such an animal.

"Uhh" I groaned as he did it again and I stood up, he was the worst eater. I left my plate on the cold sand and walked, cuddling myself deeper into Sam's jacket that I borrowed as I approached the drinks table and grabbed for a bottle of water.

"Guys"

Sam's voice cut across everyone's chattering as I looked over toward the fire where he sat with Emily on his lap, her fingers were twiddling with one another and she was biting her lower lip trying to contain a smile as she waited for Sam to speak. I swigged from my water bottle and leant against the unstable table, waiting for the announcement he was building himself up to make.

"So ummm as you know we called everyone here tonight and cancelled patrols so that we could make an announcement"

"She's pregnant" A little voice whispered from beside the table, Collin and Brady were sat there smirking although I had no idea who said it. If she was pregnant then that would mean I would have to leave. Panic stirred in my stomach and I gulped down more water, a baby would need a room and I occupied the only spare room. I would have to leave just when I was getting used to being here. I felt nauseous. I didn't want to listen but I couldn't run away.

"We are getting married, we finally set a date"

Married. The air I was holding in came out in a long swoop as he said the words I hadn't expected, I knew they were engaged but they hadn't said anything about marriage. They both beamed at everyone as they said it though and I couldn't help but smile back, the panic gone. Marriage I could deal with.

"April the 27th, we want to do it before you guys graduate so that then we can focus on celebrating you" Emily spoke up, her eyes bouncing from me to the other four seniors sat around me and I smiled more. They thought about us when planning their wedding? That was cute. "And Savannah and Kim, you'll be bridesmaids"

"And Paul and Jared my best men" Sam offered again and my eyes glanced to Kim who was squealing in excitement, the other guys were all smiling too but as I reached the girl from earlier who had only moved to play football I saw no smile. She looked like someone had just punched her in her stomach, she was staring at the two people in front of her with moisture in her eyes but she blinked it away as she saw me looking. Instead she offered a scowl before standing up and excusing herself from the group of people now descending upon Sam and Emily.

I watched her go until I couldn't make out the tiny spot walking toward the big cliffs. She had looked upset but I didn't know why.

"That's Leah" A voice spoke quietly beside me and the shivers ran over my skin again, Paul. I knew him by his voice, the low rumble it held was unlike any others. I looked up as he reached over the table and took another beer. "Leah Clearwater, Seth's sister" He offered again and I looked back to where she had walked. I knew the name Leah Clearwater, where had I known the name?

I found Sam now, he too was watching the area she had just disappeared into and although he was smiling there was a guilty look in his eyes. He blinked it away as Jared leapt on him in a manly hug, his smile taking over. Leah, Leah, Leah, Leah. After a few times saying the name it finally clicked, Leah. Leah was his Leah, well she wasn't anymore but she was his once. He had gone on and on about her to me, telling me how perfect she was. Leah was his ex.

"Oh, that must be awkward" I sighed out as the reason she walked away finally clicked and Paul gave a little shrug.

"Used to be, she joined Jake's pack last year and things got better for a while"

"She's a wolf? She's a girl though"

Paul nodded at me, a smile taking over his perfect face. "The one and only female wolf, it was a slight shock when she phased. It was hell, her and Sam fought all the time, she fought with everyone, Emily cried, people argued, it was hell until she joined Jake's pack, it calmed down after that and she's not phasing much anymore but Sam asked her to be here too"

"Why? So she could get upset in front of everyone?" I commented without meaning to say it out loud and I saw Sam turn to look at me from the corner of my eye, he had heard that. Damn. "I guess it's hard for them all"

"Yeah, it gets a little intense from time to time but you learn to deal with her mood swings. She's not that bad she just likes to annoy people, she knows how to push buttons and so she does" He went on and I sensed he didn't dislike her as much as he portrayed he did.

"Sounds like another wolf I know" I looked over to Quil who was now bouncing Claire in the sky and catching her as she shouted about wearing a pretty dress.

"He got dropped as a kid" Paul spoke seriously and for a minute I thought he was serious but as I looked across at him he started chuckling, a low deep chuckle that sent shivers over my already cold skin and I couldn't help but chuckle back. Paul had a playful side, interesting and cute to see. "He's just a big kid, probably why he imprinted on Claire, even by the time she reaches 18 he will still be acting like that" He nodded at the pair and I turned to see Quil pretending to be an aeroplane balancing Claire above his head, she was giggling so hard no sound was leaving her tiny body.

I then clocked Nessie and Jake, Nessie was older by looks but in age she was only a baby still. She was sensible though, she looked about 9 now and although she was a kid she was much older in herself. I watched as Jake reacted to her how she needed him to, she was showing him something that I couldn't make out and he was explaining things to her, pointing to whatever lay in her hand and she laughed. It was cute, how they acted with them.

"It's sweet" I whispered, my hands gripping at the water bottle making it crackle. It was sweet, almost too sweet to be true. No love could really be that unbreakable that it would last forever, Quil couldn't really wait that long for her could he? She was only a child, he couldn't care that much for her. I watched though and I saw how much he did care as he lowered her down to his chest and hugged her tightly, his movements were laid back but all the time he was protecting her, making sure she couldn't fall.

"Mm" Was all Paul said back and I saw him watching Kim, Jared, Emily and Sam as they chatted happily about the wedding. Jared was holding Kim so tightly it looked like she would burst but she looked comfortable, while Sam and Emily were glowing with happiness. I had seen it every day, the way Sam looked at Emily, how she was the only person in the room to him. I could be talking to him and all it took was her to make a sound or walk in and his attention would be lost. It made me jealous sometimes; nobody would look at me that way. Because of two reasons, I wasn't that type of girl, I'm not the perfect girl who is the light to someone's life and also because I wasn't sure I could trust anyone with my heart, not fully. I saw what love did to people if it went wrong and I didn't want that.

"Will you imprint?" I asked as the thought popped into my head, Paul's body went stiff and his composure failed him, he was uncomfortable, caught off guard and I regretted asking it immediately. "I just meant does everyone imprint" I added in trying to diffuse whatever was happening to the guy beside me.

He looked down at me for a brief second, his posture still hard and he looked up, not at anything but just staring. "No, not everyone. It only happens if you meet the right person, the only person that you are meant to be with, soul mates" I couldn't decipher his feelings, it sounded like he hated the idea and the thought of him hating the idea of unconditional love made my chest ache.

"Do you want to imprint?" Now I was crossing a line. He stiffened his jaw together and stared harder at whatever he was staring at before shrugging.

"I didn't used to want to, I thought it was the worst thing that could happen to someone but now, now I guess I'm coming round to it"

Why now? What had changed? I wanted to know but I could tell he was getting too uncomfortable with the conversation and so I said nothing. I looked around and found Sam watching me, no, not only Sam but most of the guys were looking at Paul and I with the most intrigued look on their faces. I blushed, I hated being stared at.

"Savannah, come watch me dance like a prima ballerina" A little call erupted over the silent stares and my blushing face turned to see Claire and Nessie trying to balance on their tip toes, Ness was doing it quite well but Claire stumbled around like an elephant. I didn't like kids but I would take whatever escape route was given to me, I offered Paul a last smile which he returned stiffly and I walked for the girls who began twirling in circles.
