The morning before going to school, Emma googled everything she could find on Jacob's family tribe. She had a feeling whatever was in the stories could help her figure out why Edward was so weird. She found a book that was in a local bookstore and wrote it down. Bella came in the room the minute Emma closed her laptop.

" Hey, ready to go ?"

" Yeah." Emma said with a smile and left putting the posted note in her pocket. In school, everyone was outside taking in the new day. For once in Forks, it was bright sunny with the temperature moving up and allowing the residents to wear flipflops and skirts. Emma ate her turkey club, but looked around a bit.

" He's not here." Jessica called out while staring at the sun and tanning herself. Emma looked over and she couldn't help the sadness that followed from him not being here." Whenever the weather's nice the Cullens disappear."

"  They just ditch ?"

Jessica shook her head." No, Dr. and Mrs. Cullen yank them out for hiking and camping and stuff."

" I tried that on my parents and I wasn't even close." Claire said drinking her lemonade with a slight annoyed face. Emma found it a bit odd. Why would you randomly pull your child out of school when it's sunny ?

" Guys !" They heard and all turned their heads to see it was Angela coming over." I'm going to the Prom with Eric. I just asked him. I took control."

Emma smiled bumping her shoulder." I told you that would happen."

" Are you sure you guys have to go out of town ?"

" Oh, yeah. My mom wants to see us soon. She misses us a lot." Emma said taking the last bite of her turkey club while Bella nodded very small.

" Okay, we should go shopping to Port Angeles before all the good dresses get cleaned out."

" Port Angeles ?" Emma asked remembering that was where the bookstore she needed to go to get the book." Hey, do you guys mind if I come ?"

" Yeah ! I need your and Bella's opinion." Claire said when the bell rang. When they got to the dress store, Angela, Jessica, and Claire were quickly trying on many dresses. Emma watched hoping they would pick a dress soon.

" I like this one, but I don't know about the one-shoulder thing."

" Yeah, I like the beading."

" Jess, what do you think ? Blue ?" Claire questioned coming out the dressing room nervous." Is that good ? Is that my color ?"

" Hey !" They heard looking up to see some grown men cat calling them from outside." Nice !"

" That is uncomfortable."

" Oh, it's disgusting." Bella groaned before going back to her book.

" Em, what do you think ?" Claire asked making her look up and smile slightly. She was too into getting the book to realize they were wearing different dress.

" Looks great."

" You said that about the last five dresses though."

Emma nodded." I thought they were pretty good."

" Not really into this, are you ?" Claire asked, but Emma shook her head with a slight laugh escaping her mouth.

" I do like dress shopping, but I really want to go to this bookstore." Emma explained before gathering her stuff." Hey, I'll meet you guys at the restaurant ?"
