AEGIS ↠ EMBRY CALL [R.U]

28| DATES AND SETTING DATES

With a smirk on his face, Embry picked up speed. The beach soon disappeared from sight and the trees zoomed passed her eyes, Callas had a hard time keeping up with them and so she kept her gaze forward, watching as the road passed underneath the truck and the small shopping area came to view in the distance. Embry, once they reached the shopping area, pulled the truck into one of the small parking areas around the side of the cafe. He parked the truck up and turned off the engine. It was a small building with bright coloured bricks, a pointed roof and small plant pots, with tiny flowers and red berries, grew underneath the windows, some along the ledges. She got out of the truck and closed the door, walking around the truck to meet Embry as he locked the door and guided her to the front door. There didn't seem to be many people inside, apart from a few old couples and one woman with her little boy.

"Are you excited to go to the bonfire tomorrow?" Embry asked as he opened the door to the cafe, holding the door open for her.

She nodded her head. "Yeah, I know Reed is, he used to be obsessed with the legends, I think he still is actually. I don't really remember them, all I remember is that wolves are involved." She shrugged as Embry led them to one of the tables near the window.

"Something like that. Well, you know, if you're still going tomorrow, you'll be able to jog your memory."

"Yeah," she agreed, hopefully. "So, who's going tomorrow? Who I haven't met?"

"All of our parents will be there, Sam and Emily should also be joining us, they might be some of the first people there, you'll finally meet Leah if she shows up," he pointed out. "Some other tribe members will be joining as well."

"Sounds good to me." She nodded. "It's about time I meet her."

Embry chuckled as they sat down. "I still don't understand how you haven't met."

"It's a mystery." A woman with two menus walked over, smiling as she set them down, walking over to the woman with her child to hand over a coffee and chocolate milkshake.

"Oh, also, the dance," Embry exclaimed slightly louder than they both would have liked, he ducked his head down, glancing at the few people who looked at him before they turned away.

"What dance?" Callas laughed quietly, watching Embry sit up more.

He pulled his head back with an 'are you kidding me?' expression. "Have you seriously not seen the posters around school?"

She shook her head. "After I saw a detailed poster diagram of the digestive system I swore to never look at the walls again." She shuddered.

"That makes more sense." He opened up the menu before he placed it down on the table, his arms crossed leaning on top of it. "Have you seriously not heard about the dance?"

Callas wasn't sure why he was so shocked. "Nope. I'm either reading a book, talking to Henry or one of the other boys, or I'm doing work."

"Amazing," he muttered, shaking his head. Soon, a small chuckle left his lips. "Okay, well, considering how you don't know about it, shall I tell you about it?"

"Go ahead, although, I'm not sure why it's so important." She shrugged.

"Well, it's next week, just before we have half term," he told her, glancing down at the menu. "I'm not sure if it's themed, I'm guessing it is, I'm sure it's themed, it has to be," he trailed off.

"Em." Callas clicked her fingers in his face.

"Right." He shook his head. "It may or may not be themed," he told her.
