Chapter 6: La Push High
Disclaimer Twilight is not mine all I own is my OC Abigail Summers. Enjoy this chapter ^o^
(Chapter Edited: 14/3/19)
"...I'm still getting my nightmare of the accident. I haven't told Emily but I think she knows that something is up but I'm grateful that she won't push me to tell her. I don't think I'm ready to say what happened out loud because I just know I will be looked at with sympathy. And I hate sympathy. My first day at La Push High went quickly and pleasantly, except the stares of the students. – Abigail xx"
Previously: This must be 'La Push High' as people call it or in other terms the reservation school. One thought crosses my mind. God help me.
Abigail's POV
I get out the jeep with my backpack slung over my shoulder and my hands stuffed in the pockets of my jeans. A cool breeze passes over us and I shiver involuntarily, I shift closer to Embry as we walk into the school building with the other boys. I feel a weight go onto my shoulders and notice the jacket that Embry had been wearing was now draped over my shoulders. I instantly warm up and his scent drifts into my nose, sending a shiver down my spine.
We walk through the double glass door and head towards the door marked as 'Office', going up to the desk to grab my schedule and other information like my locker combination. A short caramel skinned woman with black cropped hair comes back into the little area behind the desk, I slip Embry's jacket on properly while I wait for her to see us
"Oh, hello. What do you need?" she says when she looks up, with a kind a smile. I shuffle on my feet
"I'm new here. Abigail Summer's. I just transferred." A look of recognition runs across her face.
She quickly types into the computer and ruffles some papers "yep, right here. Okay here is your schedule, locker number and combination, a map so you can find your way around. If you need anything just come here and I'll see what I can do. Have a nice day." I smile and thank her while grabbing my papers from her, looking down at my schedule;
Abigail Summers, Class 10A, Locker 45, combination 35 – 11 – 56
Home Room with Mrs Maple (15 minutes)
1st period: English Studies with Mrs Carp
2nd period: Science – Biology with Mr Collins
3rd period: Mathematics (Maths) – Geometry with Mr Ray
4th period: Stage 2 Spanish with Mrs Vergara
Lunch break (45 minutes)
5th period: Visual Arts Ms Simons
6th period: Physical Education (P.E) with Coach Clapp
I turn to the three guys behind me "got them. So, who is in Mrs Maple's homeroom?" I say with a bright smile. Embry looks at me with heart stopping smile
"Yeah, I have her, the others have Mr Smiths" I hear the other boys groan while Embry snickers at them.
"Alright so we will all sit together for lunch at the usual table, can I see your schedule?" I hand Embry my schedule, he looks over it "you will have one of us with you at all times and in some classes you will have more than one of us." I smile at him
"Cool, let's head to class" I nod my head while he smiles, as we begin walking to our homeroom, I hear multiple whispers as we walk down the hall, people talking about me as if I'm a new toy, others talking about why I'm hanging around with the 'gang'. I just want to turn 17 this year then it for it to end so that I can turn 18 and graduate school next year.
I turn to Embry "why do they call you guys a gang?" I ask with a confused face, he smiles along with the others,
"It's because we look as if we are on steroids so they automatically call us a gang." I nod my head in understanding, we continue walking down the corridor heading to Homeroom when I hear more 'whispers' they can't talk quietly.
"Dude she's hot!" at this statement I felt Embry tense beside me, strange.
"Is she single?"
"Probably not, she's hanging with them."
The word 'them' was said in a scorned tone, why? I flick my eyes to my left and see a group of guys checking me out, I look back down at my vans as I walk with the guys. As we make our way towards classroom 18B I see a group of 5 guys standing at the door surrounded by the stereotypical cluster of cheerleaders.
But they aren't the typical bleach blond white bimbos. They are gorgeous caramel skinned native girls with black or brunette hair.
As we near the group I can see the guys are wearing jerseys, so football players, once we are in their line of sight their conversation begins to quieten down. The guys in the group tense and look at the 'gang' they stare at them before their eyes go to me, I shift under their gaze and I see a few smirk at me while another whispers to another.
The girls that were practically hanging off the guys stop and stare at me with judging eyes, as if trying to process why I'm here, and to see if I'm competition. A girl who looked to be the leader stared at me for a moment before she motioned for me to come over. I look at the guys for confirmation. No one does anything. I begin to walk over to the group.
The leader as I'm going to call her smiles at me "hi, are you new here?" I look at her searching her face
"Yeah. Just moved here actually."
She smiles and I see the girls behind her smile a little but colder than the girl in front of me "I'm Tiffany, Tiffany Jones. And you are?" she has a plastered smile on now
"Abigail Summers. Nice to meet you." I say with a warm smile on my lips,
"Well 'cause you're new here and everything why don't you come and sit with me and my group of friends? We can show you around if you'd like?" She says with a smile while her hip is jutted out
"That'd be nice, thanks." I'm about to turn around and walk away when a hand grasps my right wrist, I snap my head to look at the owner. I stare into blue eyes
"Hey I'm Matt. Co-captain of the football team. Where're you from?" he has a kind face and smile
"Canada."
I hear the bell ring above us and use that as my cue to go back to the guys. I smile at Embry but notice that he was shaking a small bit.
I place my hand on his arm and the shaking stops "hey are we going to class or what?" I end with a small laugh at the guys. They nod their heads and we begin to walk to Homeroom, all laughing and talking when we enter the classroom a silence enters. I look towards Embry with a confused face, and timidly shuffle my feet, I hate it when everyone stops what they're doing to look at you. I follow Embry as he walks over to a set of seats next to each other for himself and I.
We sit down and pull the chairs closer so we could talk, I sit at chair closer to the rooms wall, while Embry sits down by my side in a protective way that looked like he was shielding me from the many stares. You could hear students talking about the 'new girl'. And I always hated how you get subjected to a title of new girl until someone else starts. It's annoying.
As I open my mouth to ask Embry a question the door opens and a beautiful woman in her early 30s walks into the room with a confident stride. Her chocolate skin and glistening black hair are just two reasons why she's beautiful. She sits at her desk and looks at a piece of paper before her eyes flicker across the class and land on mine "hello everyone, I hope you all had a great holiday break. It seems we have a new student with us, please come up and introduce yourself." She says kindly with a silky voice.
I stand up from my seat and begin to walk to the front of the class, nervous all of a sudden but I wouldn't let it be seen
"Um, hi everyone. I'm Abigail Summers, I moved here from Canada, I like art, sports and food." I end with a heartbreaking smile and tilt my head to the side a little allowing my hair to tumble in soft waves down my shoulder. I see guys ogling at my body while girls stare envious at me. Typical.
Homeroom goes in a blur before we are leaving the classroom and going to my first lesson which is English Studies and I'm attending it with Jared. We walk together down the hallways towards the classroom, we enter just before the bell goes but the teacher is already in the class with some of the students. I sit down beside Jared he leans over to me.
Jared's POV
I lean towards Abigail and tell her about our horrid English teacher Mrs Carp. Internally shudder. "Mrs Carp is...how can I say it? She is strange I think she may be bipolar. You will see what I mean." I state with a small at her shocked face, I see her nod her head
"Umm okay..." the teachers head snaps in our direction
"You and you. Stop talking." Abigail's eyes widen at the teachers tone and I see her whip her head to me while I try and stifle my silent chuckles I look at our teacher
"Yes ma'am." She smiles at me and gets up right as the bell rings and closes the door to the classroom so people who are late can't get in.
"Okay everyone. Holiday break is over which mean's it is back to learning for you all..." I zone out from her monotone voice.
Abigail's POV
I grab my pen and begin to draw in my book just running the tip of my pen over the paper surface and begin to sketch. I completely just blank out and don't focus on anything else until I feel a nudge on my arm and see Jared smiling at me "it's time for the next lesson Abs." He smiles lightly at me – it seems that he is already warming up to me but he still seems to have some protective walls up
"Oh really? Wow that went quick." He laughs while I blush a small amount and grab my book following him out the classroom quickly. Jared walks me to my class which happens to be Science – Biology, he turns and begins to walk down the hallway towards his class, and I smile and turn around to see that Paul is in my class, I feel my smile drop and form into a scowl instead
"Paul in science I find that hard to believe" I mumble under my breath and swear I saw him smirk lightly at me as if he heard what I said, my eyes narrow slightly "so is this teacher nice or...?" I tilt my head with a cocked brow at Paul, he has a straight face while he shakes his head
"He's a piece of work." Ending with a throaty laugh. We walk into the classroom and just like before everything just flies it was like you just sat down and then suddenly you were up out of your chair. This continued on until lunch time.
Paul walked besides me as we went to meet up with the rest of the guys, as a group we walk towards the cafeteria doors, when we enter, I see all of the different caramel or chocolate skinned students eating at tables with their friends or in a line for their food. We make our way to the line to get our food as I see the boys filling their trays to the brink of over flowing, I grab 2 slices of pizza, the small bowl of fruit salad, a chocolate mousse and a bottle of water.
I grab my wallet out and pay for my food before I follow the guys over to our table. As we are walking towards the table, I see the group from before and the girl looking at me. I forgot her name. I look at her and do an apologetic wave as I follow the guys to the table, we all sat eating our foods as if we were starved, there was some small talk between but mainly just the noise of everyone eating
The bell rings causing me to groan. I swallow what was in my mouth and hurriedly stuff the rest of my food into my mouth before taking a swig of my drink washing my food down. "Alright let's go." I say picking my tray up from the table and depositing it on the side table. The guys do the same and I'm walked to my 5th lesson with Embry, we enter the Art classroom
Ms Simons tells us that we're going to be drawing wildlife in the forest. I open my sketchbook and I zone out of the class, as I concentrate on the piece of paper and pencil in my hand. I begin to draw. It first started out as a circle that grew out to an oval and I just kept adding line after line, and shading bits and pieces. I noticed that I was drawing a wolf's face, it looked so detailed.
I go into my trance again and continued on with the drawing adding bits of grey as the fur and adding black spots but not like a Dalmatians spots these are smaller and go around his body but there are some darker grey patches along the body. I added bits of black for shadow, around the wolves' eye I did the black section which I always refer to as the eyeliner. I get a brown pencil and colour the wolves' eye in.
I'm brought out of the state when I hear a gasp behind me. I whip around to see Ms Simons there looking at my work "that is beautiful Abigail" I mumble a 'thank you', I notice that Embry had looked over and his eyes looked shocked, he quickly adverted his eyes back to his work. I decide I wanted to see what he was drawing on a piece of paper I look closely and see him doing and geometric wolf and it looks amazing. When the bell singles for the next lesson I get out of my seat and take my drawing back, I might put that up when I get home.
Embry and I stand up and we begin to make our way towards the classroom I need to be in for my 6th lesson, which was P.E. However, I was informed that today was a theory lesson which made me feel better as I hadn't packed any gym clothes. We make it to the classroom and I see Jared waiting by the doorway with a slight smile on his lips, Embry looks at me with a sad smile because he wasn't in this lesson, with a small wave he walks away towards his classroom. I turn around and enter the classroom with a laughing Jared, from some lame joke he had made to break the silence and it did indeed cause me to giggle.
0oOo0oOo0
Once the final bell of the day goes I meet up the boys at my locker, I put away the books that I don't need, I see the guys go and put away their books away as well. Embry looks at me "so did you enjoy the one and only La Push High today?" When he speaks he makes a sweeping an arm motion in the air when saying the school.
I laugh at his antics "yeah it was actually pretty good, I'm honestly surprised, although this place has some interesting teachers" I shudder when I think back to the English lesson when Jared and I got told off. I grab my backpack and put the books needed for homework in there along with my diary and pencil case, after securely zipping it closed I slung it over my left shoulder with ease and stuff my hands into my jeans pockets as I wait for Embry. He chucks his half open back over his right shoulder and is on my right side, while Jared and Paul had already walked off ahead of us, we quickly catch up so we walk out of the school together towards the carpark where the jeep was situated.
"Hey, Abbie" I turn around at hearing my name escape Embry's lips, his eyes were sparkling while his mouth was turned up in a smile
"Yes?" I say with my own happy smile as I view his kind face
"I was wondering - so the guys and I usually have these bonfires at First Beach and was wondering since you already live with Sam and Emily - so you would probably be going anyway...sorry I'm rambling um... would you like to go the bonfire? With me if you'd like to?" He looks at me smiling with this blushing face from his stumbling
"Yeah Emily mentioned something about goingto the beach tonight and it sounds like fun. I'll see you there Embry." Isay smiling at him before I pass him and jump into the jeep, I watch as hestands there smiling stupidly before he realises, we're waiting on him, hecomes rushing over and gets into his seat beside me.

A/N: Naaww awkward and nervous Embry I love it haha I wrote how I felt Embry would be like he can be flirtatious and bold sometimes but he is still a boy who is nervous around the girl he likes. Are you liking this story so far? I would love to know your thoughts, please comment them down below.
As this is set in America I used the American terminology 'homeroom' where I'm from we call it 'house', I also did some research into American highschools (I know this won't be for all schools), however, I only put 6 lessons on the time table like my school had.
