Chapter Six

The forest is truly a natural treasure that nature has given to humanity, and Jacob and I returned to the way we came with a good harvest, not having to carry a basket as I walked leisurely in front.

"Lancy, you recognize the way? " Jacob seemed surprised when he realized I was going in the right direction.

"Of course, because I'm smart," I replied rightfully.

Jacob gave another helpless smile, which satisfied my vanity. My vanity was satisfied, and I took the initiative to explain, "Actually, it's because every tree looks different, so how could I be mistaken?"

"But it's such a subtle thing that ordinary people wouldn't even notice, right?" And even to tell the difference, one would need to observe, whereas Lancy, like this, could tell the difference with a glance. "Right," I said, raising my chin, not at all modest. "So I'm pretty smart for an ordinary person."

Jacob let out a low chuckle. "You always have so many reasons to flatter yourself."

I pretended not to hear his remark. We emerged from the forest and saw Billy waiting at the door from a distance. "Hey Billy! What are you doing at the door? Did you forget your keys? " I asked as my man, Jacob, took the basket from me.

"Jacob, Charlie called; he's going to pick up Bella from the airport." I saw the silly boy's eyes light up beside Billy as soon as he said that. "We'll have to drop off the presents." Billy rubbed his chin and suddenly looked over at me. "Lancy, you might need a favor. I blinked and responded with a bite, "No problem." Billy's legs weren't working well, so I drove Billy while Jacob drove the little pickup truck toward Swan's house in town. The trip wasn't far; it was a quick drive, and they seemed to be there already. I closed the door and caught an involuntary glimpse of the patrol car off to the side, and I thought a little subtly about Charlie; wouldn't that be the caravan he was driving to pick up Bella?

I met Bella soon after. She was a very pretty girl; no wonder Jacob liked her. I watched as the silly little man came up to introduce himself, and after hearing that Bella remembered, his big smile almost burned my eyes when he heard that Bella remembered him. But strangely enough, I had a gut feeling that Bella wasn't happy; I could feel her repressing and holding back. I suddenly remembered what Charlie had mentioned the other day when we were fishing: that Bella's mom, Renee, had remarried, and I couldn't help but think of Lancy. They were both very understanding girls. Bella was happy with Charlie's gift and couldn't wait to get in the car to try it out. "I'll introduce you to a friend, Lancy." I heard Jacob calling me. I walked over to him and asked, "Is it too late to think about introducing me?"

"Lacey, I thought you would introduce yourself. " Jacob laughed. I took a deliberate breath, "I would have, but I never got the chance," I didn't even take the initiative to bother you guys; that's enough. I raised an eyebrow at Jacob. My eyes moved from Jacob's face to Bella's. "I'm Lancy. Green, you can call me Lancy, can I call you Bella?" "Sure," she nodded, but not in a good way. "Are you a friend of Jacob's?" "Well, we're neighbors, and I just moved to Forks." "So do you go to school on the reservation too?" She asked. "No, we just went to the same school." I smiled at her gave Jacob a fake smug running look and grumbled, "Now I'm regretting it; I should have been your neighbor, Bella. The atmosphere seemed to lighten up a lot. "Why? Wasn't Jacob a good neighbor?" Bella quirked her head at Jacob and flirted. "No," I winked at her. "If we were neighbors, we could have saved half of the gas!" Bella caught on to my plan, and she nodded in agreement. "Exactly, so Lancy, are you moving?" I did indeed not expect the girl to have a hidden cell of humor, but was glad she was relaxed and considered it cooperatively

My eyes rolled over Jacob's face before I wrinkled my nose. "Not for a while; Jacob has done my house a lot of favors, and I'm a little sorry for the house now that I'm moving. Bella laughed; there was no gloom on her face. I did like to see them look happy. I don't know if being human is just going to be that much of an annoyance, but so far I've just found a lot of joy in being human. "Lacey!" Jacob glared at me, but I wasn't afraid of him. "Jacob, look, I'm staying, so do you want to consider reimbursing me for my half of the gas, huh?" The smile on Bella's face hadn't dissipated yet, and I cocked my head to look at her "You have a bright smile." I genuinely complimented her: "Bella, you need to smile more often. Bella raised her hand to straighten her hair with a slightly embarrassed blush. Jacob looked at me with a complicated face, and I blinked innocently, wondering why he suddenly went dark. Looking at him, it seemed like it had something to do with me, but I was innocent. Jacob was genuinely surprised that Lacey was so easily able to make Bella happy, but it seemed like the fork wasn't that surprising; she always had so many crooked ideas. Jacob shook his head and rubbed his nose with a smile. "Bella, tomorrow I'm going shopping for clothes in Port Angel; do you want to go?" Before I came here, I had forgotten that I could be afraid of the cold now, and even more so, I didn't have a clear perception of the warmth of Forks' piety—not a whole big chunk of cold, but a silky, lingering cold. Every time you go to Angel Harbor to the supermarket to see so many snacks, to forget, carrying a large bag of snacks is not something to think about. A few times, the clothes were bought, and I was fat. Bella froze; her eyebrows quickly tangled together. I saw her hesitant, small action and quickly reacted. "Oops, I almost forgot. Bella, you just came to Forks; you just need a few days to recuperate." I chuckled before she could say anything. "Are you going alone?" She asked, looking at me.

"Why yes, I'll have Jacob carry my mouth." I winked and grinned at Jacob, showing my teeth. "That's fine; sorry Lacey, I'm not that much of a shopper. " Her eyes told of her apology, and I waved my hand nonchalantly, "It's okay; it's not something to apologize for." Jacob drove on the way back, and I sat in the back a little dazed. I hadn't napped today, so I was sleepy early. The thought of going home and having to take pills was hard for me; it was probably the only bit of unhappiness in my joy of being human. How could bitterness be something to get used to? "I'll pick you up in the morning." I closed the car door and coldly heard Jacob say this. "Huh? What?" I didn't respond for a moment. "Aren't you going clothes shopping tomorrow?" I nodded. "That's right, but what does it have to do with you? Did you come to call me because you were afraid I'd oversleep?" I asked curiously: wouldn't there be a time limit on buying clothes? "Didn't you just say for me to carry the pockets?" He looked at me with an odd expression on his face and suddenly reached out and cupped my head. "Is this full of snack material?" "Hey, hey!" I picked up my hand and slapped his hand away. "If you want to eat dim sum, just say it; don't move my head. There's something great in here!" I deliberately lowered my voice to scare him. "What's so unbeatable? " Jacob didn't believe me. "I don't think you have much use for this head; you always don't remember.

Jacob had never eaten so many desserts and had no idea that they could be so varied and fancy, so by the time he came back to his senses, he was sitting on the couch at Lancy's house with a plate of delicious-looking desserts on the counter. "What's this again?" It's a bit like jelly; I think it's some kind of pudding, he thought. Jacob took a bite; it wasn't rich and sweet, but light and natural. Jacob's eyes lit up, and he looked up only to find that Lancy seemed to be on medication. "Lancy, are you sick?" Jacob came over at some point and burst out. I didn't swallow a mouthful; the pill pressed against my throat, and coughed and chirped twice as he patted me on my being and I forked over a big gulp of water in a hurry. Jacob seemed like he wanted to laugh a little, "Sorry Lancy, scared you again." He couldn't read the moniker on the bottle, it just didn't seem like ordinary medicine. What an insincere apology, I glared at him, picked up my hand, and punched him in the shoulder. "Hey, you didn't answer me." He trailed off after me. "I thought you said I didn't have a long memory. Well, this is the medicine for growing a memory." I grunted lightly and yawned as I nestled into the couch. "Lancy, so did you take the medicine and remember?" Jacob asked me with a grin. "What?" I looked confused. Jacob shook his head, "Looks like your medicine didn't do much good, didn't even remember to ask me to lift my pockets tomorrow. "Ah, that," I remembered, "I just blurted it out," I sat up with my pillow and explained to him, "Because Bella turned me down, I figured she'd feel guilty if she knew I was going alone, so I dragged you out for a walk. "I didn't realize you were so serious Jacob, it was just me talking." I looked at him in surprise, looking up at him with my cheeks resting, my tone deliberately long, "I'm so touched, Jacob.

It was as if a wish that had been there for a long time had just come true without a second thought. Jacob looked at me skeptically, "Are you serious?" "Of course!" I got up and went to pocket the new treats, "It's from Harry's family, so stop by and bring it to them for me on your way back. Jacob took the pockets and looked at them, "Sue especially liked those little treats you made. "He looked at me, "I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon then?" "That's fine with me if you don't mind the hassle of shopping with a girl." I shrugged and headed towards my room, waving at Jacob in the process, "Take the door for me you.

[Dear Lancy,

I've gotten into the habit of keeping a journal, so even though Terry said you wouldn't be coming back, I wanted to record this time in my life and share it with you. I've been fishing, I've been to the woods, I've met Bella, I've been making snacks at home every day, I'm going to school, and I'm kind of looking forward to it! Going to school. I don't know if I'll live to see graduation day, but I selfishly hope so. I haven't been to a graduation ceremony or worn a graduation cap yet. It's like everything is new when you're a human being, and the world is new, even the fear of cold, and that's new to me. I used to be like that, once upon a time and would wander off to new places for this passion. I was afraid of becoming a dead soul, and that was the last thing I wanted to be, with no expectations or aspirations, and gradually one day forgetting. Finally, I don't want to be like that, I don't have expectations and desires, and gradually I will forget who I am one day. I don't know who I am, but you do. I wish you, who are far away, peace.
