Riley Swan has no idea what was coming for her in this new town with her sister, she just knew that Bella has made a promise to protect her, and then they ended up surrounded by the supernatural...
"Oh" Jasper cringed as his nose wrinkled up slightly in disgust, and Riley lifted her arms up dramatically as she stood in front of him, everyone else walking around the shops.
"What do you guys want from me?! I shower and shower for you, just so I don't 'smell' like the other one, I have ran out of freaking moisturiser, my skin is so dry from having to wash from your remarks, one more comment out of you and you'll be sleeping with the fishes" Riley snaps at Jasper, and his lips curl slightly in amusement, Riley's eyes widen. "Sorry, I'm just—"
"Stressed, I know" Jasper cut her off, before he held his arm out to her, "End of year exams are pushing you, so, how about a pedicure, my treat"
"I've never had one before" Riley admits sheepishly as she takes his arm, and the pair begin to walk down Port Angeles.
"All the more reason" Jasper sent her a knowing smile, and Riley hummed as she realised Alice had told him something. "So, how is is going with Paul?"
Riley eyes instantly brightened as she heard the name, and Jasper smiled when he could see the look on her face as her head spun around to look at him. "Great, he's an amazing friend!"
"Friend?" Jasper drawled on, still walking them both towards a nail salon, and Riley blushed slightly as she dropped her head.
"We're different ages—a—and I'm sure he doesn't want to be with someone so 'childlike' and 'innocent'" Riley explained with a frown on her lips, and Jasper patted her arm with his free hand.
"None sense" He simply said, not saying anything else as he stepped forward and opened up the door for her to enter, Riley walked in with a smile.
"Mr. Hale, where's Alice?" The worker questioned brightly, her smile very much real and gentle, and then she spotted Riley. "This your girlfriend? She's adorable!"
"Oh, no" Jasper shook his head with a smile, before he wrapped an arm around Riley's shoulder. "This is Riley, my best friend and she has never had a pedicure"

"Oooh, they're pretty" Emily fawned as she held Riley's hand, before she released them gently and turned back to stirring the brownie mixture. "Where'd you get them done?"
"Erm, I think it was called 'luscious nails' or something. I don't really remember, Jasper took me" Riley explained shortly, Emily nodding along as she listened. "So, how's the new girl settling in?"
"She has a lot of hidden anger" Emily began, "and sadness, she hates the idea of isolating her friend, as her friend is a freshman or something and is new, I hate that they have to do that"
"Then why do they block out there old friends?" Riley quizzed, her eyebrows furrowing as she continued to apply the icing on top of some cupcakes. She remembered the whole ordeal with Jake, Embry and Quil.
"I never really understood, I know there is a risk, but it's not worth you loosing a part of yourself. Sam is the boss though" Emily chattered on, before she glanced at the clock. "Speaking of which, they should be home soon"
"I might go before then just so I can annoy Jake and Paul" Riley teased playfully and Emily let out a laugh.
"And risk their jealousy on me? No thank you" Emily smiled as she continued her task, pouring the brownie mix into a tray, that had a sheet inside so there wouldn't be any sticking or mess.
"I think it would be funny" Riley countered, holding her her icing tube up as if it looked threatening.
"What would be funny?" Sam enters the room, shirtless as always, before he walks over to Emily and circles his hands around her waist, kissing her scars as she leans into him.
"If Riley left before Jake and Paul saw her" Emily responded with a small smile, gently nudging Sam so she could show that she had to get the brownies into the oven, but he quickly grabbed her when she had finished doing so.
"It would be entertaining" Sam countered, sending Riley a smile for a greeting, which she widely returned.
"Oh, Sam" Emily spun in his arms, so she could meet his eyes for a conversation. "Riley had her first pedicure today"
"Well...done?" Sam let out slowly, Riley giggled to herself lowly as she placed down the icing tube and picked up the plate of cupcakes to show Emily, who nodded and pointed her to the table.
"Oh, I didn't know you guys were here" Riley grinned as she saw Embry and Jared sat at the table together, awaiting food, she placed the plate down. "You know Emily's rules, save some for the others"
