Ch. 6 & 7

Hi. Hows the reading going? So sorry for the lateness of this post...I know you were all dying for it. I had to prepare a lesson for chuch and get some things done around the apartment now that I am feeling better. Anyway. I am back. Much like our friend Bella seems to be in these upcoming chapters. I am really enjoying myself. I love the foreshadowing. I like remembering what I was thinking when I read it the first time but having the benefit of knowing what happens next.

Anyway. Lets get to it.

Bella returns to Jacob’s to work on the motorcycles. Jacob is chatting up, describing his sophomore year, with his two BFFs: Quil and Embry. Before long, his friends make their entrance "Speak of the Devil and he shall appear". Jacob explains what they are doing. Boys will be boys. The shop talk starts and Bella bails...not before making a date with Jacob for manana!

Charlie enjoys seeing Bella happy! He ask questions and she tells half the truth.

Bella sleeps dream free!

She is unsure about what this means. She and Jacob take off to find parts...Jacob brings up the missing radio. Man. Sucks that keeps coming up. She should have just left it in. Just sayin.

They hit the Jackpot at the dump and then they keep on driving to an auto part store. The conversation turns to age. B is clearly trying to make a point that she is way to old for J. J decides to do this age system thing. Its cute. Kinda. He wants Bella. B just wants to be reckless but can't deny that she enjoys Jacob's company.

When they get back Jacob get to work. They get to work uninterrupted this time. Billy calls and Jacob and Bella hurry outside, holding hands and laughing, and Charlie is pretty much beaming. His eyes are wide, seeing them holding hands.

The Clearwater family has joined them for dinner. It is a tight fit in the Black's house. Cozy and surprisingly fun!

B is nervous at bed time. 2 dreamless nights...doubtful. Instead of going right to bed, Bella emails Rene...realizing that she has been pretty lousy with her correspondence lately.

Bella sleeps.

Bella Dreams.

There is something different this time. Sam is with her. What could this mean???

At school Bella is described as invisible. She has spent so much time avoiding everyone that they don't try to include her. She is so totally out of the loop. Angela & Lauren's new do, some new faces...Angela starts up a convo about a large black bear. Everyone was making fun of her until Bella backs her story with one she overheard from some hiker's in Newton's.

It’s exactly one year since Bella’s first day in Forks.

Chapter 7

Bella wants to see if the Cullen house...poor girl. Can we say glutton for some hardcore punishment?? Well, no need to talk about how tragic that was. Well, back to warm Jacob she runs! They talk bikes and make a a schedule that includes work and play. Work being school and play being bikes. They decide that they need to be "responsible".

Bella seems to be welcomed at school. With exception of Jessica...Surprise!! A few days after gracefully turning a date with Mike into a friendly movie night the following week, she hears from Jacob that the bikes are ready. While driving out to their practice spot, she sees cliff divers and learns that they are Sam Uley and his “followers”. Seeing an opportunity for "recklessness" Bella requests to be taken cliff diving SOON!! Crazy girl! Jacob tells her his fears about his friends being recruited into some type of gang and is upset that he doesn't understand what is going on with them. He wonders why Sam seems to be fixated on him all of a sudden and why his old friends are now ignoring him.

After a friendly hug on Bella’s part, they drop the subject. With one comment about her pale skin, she remembers why she wanted to ride the bikes in the first place. Ahhhh that voice....

Ok so tomorrow will be a BIG post. Chapters 8-9. Don't forget to leave your comments!!

Luvs,
