This is my first post, so sorry if it doesn’t come out right.
Recently Matt, Willow’s boyfriend from Seattle has come to visit us in La Push. Most of us got bad vibes from him right from the start, Paul especially. Paul, Quil, Riley, and I feel very protective of Willow now that she’s a part of our pack and we won’t allow anyone to treat her poorly, especially not that Matt clown. Sometimes he acts like a jerk and loses his temper around her which makes US lose OUR tempers and we all know what happens when we lose our tempers.
So, anyway, Paul decided to channel his anger and instead of pummeling Matt he decided to pull a prank on him. Of course I joined in on the fun. We put pink hair dye in his shampoo and Paul spiked his water with eye-drops. Luckily, Willow was a sport and gave us Matt’s room number at the hotel and I was able to put my lock-picking skills to use and break in. So, now Matt’s got pink hair and a bad case of um… well… you can imagine. Unfortunately, Matt’s somewhat smarter than we thought and correctly assumed Willow had helped us with the prank. We didn’t mean for her to take the fall, but she’s a tough cookie.
Yesterday was Paul’s birthday so Rachel decided to plan a surprise party for him down at First Beach. She had Willow send out the invitations, I was in charge of food of course, and she made a delicious home-made cake and decorated with balloons. Riley came and set up the bonfire, I bar-b-qued, and then people started showing up! Not everyone could make it, but Quil, Claire, Nessa, Jake, Jared, Leah, Kim and her friend, Nadia also came. It was Nadia’s birthday too coincidentally.
Matt was still sick in his room so there wasn’t too much drama on that front but there was some drama with Quil and Kim’s friend, Nadia. It turns out that Nadia is the girl Quil danced with in PA! At first she was pissed and we didn’t know why. She mistakenly thought that Claire was Quil’s daughter and got mad that he’d been at the club. I guess that’s understandable. They seem to hit it off after she figured out the truth. Well, not the whole truth, but the part where Claire is not his daughter.
But other than that, everybody had a good time. It was nice getting together. Riley gave Paul some wax for his board, I got him I Love You, Man on dvd, and I picked out a “Welcome to the OC, B!tch!” T-shirt that Leah gave him.
Hmm… what else? Sue is back from her trip! We missed her lots. She’s going to be having dinner with Charlie tonight so Leah and I are probably going to try to hang out in Port Angeles and see a movie. Leah’s invited everybody to her house for dinner on Wednesday night to celebrate Sue being back from her trip. Then later, as things wound down Leah and I decided to give Rachel and Paul some, er privacy. We went for a walk in the woods and had a serious conversation about the future and the fact that we’re falling for one another. I’m glad she can open up to me and it’s nice to hear how she feels about me.
Wow! I’m rambling. I better get going. Did I miss anything? Hope not.
The thing that is also in the back of your head everyday telling you that no one is ever going to be as important to you as that one person, and yet you can’t tie yourself down for years and years, not knowing what the future will hold. Who knows who Nessa and Claire will fall in love with one day. Just because we imprinted on them, doesn’t mean they will love us “that way” one day, right.
He thought her friend was hot. We looked at each other for a second and then walked on in there, and started dancing. It was easier than I thought it would be. I was freaking out the whole time on the inside, of course, but on the outside.. I was a BAMFW and I let that lead me. I introduced myself and we danced a little. I went to get something to drink and she came too. We sat down and talked for a little while. She was from Seattle and in school for fashion. She came across as a little shy. She seemed nice and the whole fashion school thing screamed “out of my league”. But I was just there to have fun and forget about work. I think she was there for the same reason.
