For what seemed like a very short time, Jake was back with a motley crew of teenage boys.
"Rach," Jake said, "This is Sam, Quil, Embry, Jared, Seth and Paul."
As he said their names, he gestured towards each boy in turn.
"Leah isn't here right now, but she's one of us too," Jake said.
I took a moment to look at the boys in front of me. I looked into their eyes one by one, trying to remember their names.
Sam, Embry, Jared, Seth...
And Paul.
He was tall and tan, like the other boys, but also cuter than the others?
He was looking at me in a strange way. It wasn't admiration, but it wasn't hatred either. It was more 'wow'.
Weird. I guess that was how I was looking at him too.
I almost forgot that everyone was waiting for me to say something.
"Hello," I said merrily.
Instinctively, the boys either said 'hi' or waved or nodded in my direction. Paul just stared.
