I don't own anything, just like to play with the characters.

CHAPTER 7: Hear Me Roar.

I had had an amazing afternoon with Jake and my new friend's, Quill and Embry. Jake had warned me that quill had a perverse sense of humour, which turned out to be a humongous understatement. This boy could find and make double innuendos out of just about anything. I had made an innocent remark about one of the bikes seats, stating it was actually really quite hard running my hands over the ripped leather exterior, quill decided to snort and retort with a comment which left Jake, embry and himself laughing like hyenas and myself with a face the shade of which can only be described as close to a beetroot. I glared at him mockingly, throwing a dirty rag at him, hitting him in the face and claiming that said dirty rag was cleaner than his mind. I wondered at this moment if there was such a thing as brain bleach and made a mental note of investing in some if there was such a product. All in all though, quill was a funny guy, he almost matched Jake in the hug ans cuddle department as he was very hands on so to speak, which I didn't really mind. He was brash but sweet at the same time, crude but had moments of sensitivity.

Embry was a very shy boy. Extremely sweet like Jake, but quiet and rarely contributing to any conversation. I think this was because quill was rather loud and had no problems voicing his views on anything. I had found out though that embry liked music, all forms and listened to anything. He was also studious, he informed me that when he wasn't with quill or Jake, I could find him in forks library as La Push didn't have one. He loved the classics, like myself, Wuthering Heights, Les Miserables. He was a reader as well as a music lover. It was good that he had these kinds of interests. His teacher had told him that if he stuck in, then he had the chance of going far. For embry, this was the epitome of compliments. Jake said that the teacher loved embry, asking him for answers more than the other student's. Which unfortunately, made embry a target for victimization from the other student's. I thought this was really unfair, now it seemed that being bright and showing an interest in something was a crime. Embry just laughed it off though stating that when he was a millionaire and the rest of them were stuck in low paid jobs, he would have the last laugh. I was proud of him for having this attitude. He seemed older than his years. His eyes held wisdom beyond his age. I knew he would go far.

Each of these boys had made an impact on me after only one afternoon. I knew that no matter what, no matter my mood, Jake, quill and Embry would always cheer me up. After Charlie had phoned Billy to say I was required at home, I.e I had to go home and have dinner, they had all hugged me, quill of course overstepping the friend boundary and kissing my cheek. Again my face resembled a beetroot, what was it with this boy making me blush all the time. Maybe it was the fact that freakward had starved me of affection during our so called relationship, that the closeness Quill pushed upon me was new and I hadn't experienced anything like it before. I didn't care though because this was normal, again something I was new to. Yeah, before this my life sucked. Cullen freaks.

Charlie was waiting for me, "Well, did you have a good afternoon?".

I smiled brightly, my face was still sore due to the fact I had been laughing most of said afternoon. "Yeah I did, actually I met two of Jake's friends, Quill Ateara and Embry Call", "They are really really nice".

Charlie sat back, regarding me closely. "Well, that's good to hear, now considering your suspension, I think that it's wise for you to spend your time down at the reservation, I have to work bell`s, and Billy is the only one available to watch out for you, that and the fact he is the only one I trust, is that ok with you" stated Charlie.

I snickered, was this ok with me, Well Duh!

"Of course it is dad, I'm more than capable of looking after myself, but it will be good to spend some time with Billy and Jake too of course" I said gently, trying to hide my secret smile and inside happiness.

"Ok then, I've called for pizza, should be here soon" He said walking into the living room, knowing my dad, his next move would be to put on the television and try and find something to do with football. That's my dad all over, fishing, football and upholding the law.

I ran upstairs, switching my radio on, the song playing was new, by Katie Perry. It was called Roar.

I sat down and listened to the words.

You held me down, but I got up

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground,

You held me down, but I got up

Get ready cause I've had enough,

I see it all, I see it now

I've got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

Cause I am a champion and your gonna hear me roar.

How appropriate, this song described exactly ME. I loved it, this song was the anthem to my new life. No longer a push over, no longer quiet.

People will hear me roar, if they cross me.

Love it.
