Chapter Four: Exploring

Elle’s P.O.V.

I turned the key and listened as the car started. As I backed out of the driveway I listened to the purr of the car. I decided to just drive around first. The tow wasn't very big. I had only been driving around for an hour and I had seen most of it.

I'm on the outskirts of Forks right now. I pull into a parking lot of a store. 'Newton's Olympic Outfitter's' was what the sign said. I walked in and saw a boy about 17. "Hi, may I help you?" I shake my head. "I was just looking." I tell him.

"Are you just visiting or new in town?" He asks. "I'm new." I say shyly. "I'm Mike Newton. And you are?" He questions. Should I tel him? Why not. "I'm Maybelle Cullen." I say. He practically chokes. "C-c-cullen." He stutters. I smirk on the inside. "Yes. Maybelle Cullen. I was adopted recently. Just yesterday, actually." I tell him.

"Okay. So your new." I nod. We went over this. He's annoying, but don't want to get a reputation. I start walking around the store and he follows me. Doesn't he have any customers? I grab a rockstar and head to the cash register. "I'll ring you up." Mike says in a cheery tone.

I put my rockstar down and roll my eyes when he's not looking. Which isn't long. "Um..Mike?" I question uncertainly. "Yes?" He says with a smile. "Are there any beaches close to here?" I ask him.

He smile drops a little. Maybe that wasn't the question he was hoping I would ask. "Yeah there's a beach on the reservation called La Push. The most common beach people use is called first beach." He told me. I gave him a bright smile.

"Thanks. Do you go to Forks High School?" I asked him. "Yeah." "See you Monday." I state and walk away before he could say anything. I got back in the car. I know how to get to La Push, I just need to figure out where the beach is.

I drive past the border and decide to walk around. I park the car and lock it. I decide to just walk straight. The cliche way to go.

It's getting boring just walking. I've been walking for 10 minutes. Maybe some music. I keep walking and take my IPod out of my pocket. I put my earbuds in and put it on a random song. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri came on. I love this song. After that song was done Payphone by Maroon 5 came on. I didn't really want to listen to this song so I decided to change it.

While I was looking at my IPod I bumped into someone. My IPod started falling so I did the logical thing. I dove for it. I caught it just before it hit the ground. I sighed in relief and clutched it to my chest. I heard someone clear their throat.

I look up to see a guy with dark brown eyes and black hair. "Sorry." We say at the same time. "No it's my fault." We say together again. "No it was mine." We say yet again at the same time. My cheeks flush a bright red and now are the moments I'm glad for my russet colored skin.

"Um..." Is all I say. He holds out his hand for me. I take it thankfully and he helps me up. I drop his hand as soon as I'm standing. The weird thing is he doesn't seem cold like other people do. The Cullen's feel extra cold but any other person feels colder than me.

"I'm Jacob." He tells me. "I'm Maybelle." I state shyly. This reminds me of when I met Mike. "Can you show me where First Beach is?" I ask him politely. "Sure." He motions his hand to follow him. He was walking the other way.

"Did you have somewhere you needed to go? You where going the other direction." I ask him. "No I was just going home. I was bored. I would much rather show you where to go." I nod. "Thanks." I mumble quietly.

"So are you new around here?" He asks. "Yeah. I just came yesterday. I got adopted." I tell him. "Oh what happened to your parents?" He asked me bluntly. "If you don't mind telling me. Y-you don't have to." He rushes in. I laugh.
