"Red? Little Red?" Wysteria hears the nickname and a memory jolts through her of a boy with a toothy grin and shaggy hair. She turns slowly. Behind her is a lanky guy with hair almost as long as hers, if not longer. His head is tilted slightly in di...

Wysteria checked her reflection in the mirror for the fifth time, telling herself she wasn't checking her reflection because she wanted to look cute for Jacob because she wasn't. She was simply checking her reflection to see if she had on enough layers for the beach. Which was the weirdest sentence Wysteria had ever formulated in her mind.

She loved feeling the suns rays on her bare skin, loved walking on the warm sand but according to her mother, the beaches here were nothing like what Wysteria was used to.
"La Push?" Her mother said. "It's rocky honey and honestly, too cold . I don't know why those kids from town want to head out there." Wysteria shrugged.
"Bella is going so I'm going." Her mother nodded.

"Drive safe Jacob, please." Her mother said.
"I will Ms. Attakai. I promise." Jacob said. Wysteria stuck her tongue out at Jacob and he laughed as they got into his truck on opposite ends.
"If we die, I'll kill you." Wysteria said as she buckled up.
"Hmm.. Sounds redundant." Jacob said. Wysteria half smiled at him. He had a beanie on over his dark hair and the jacket he was wearing looked two sizes too big for him.
