Meridian, Washington is near of Forks, Washington where it faces the Pacific Ocean. Facing the south of Forks, about 4 hours away to be exact. The beaches are cold during the winter but the brave solders that are known, as the local surfers will throw themselves towards it. It is not that far of a drive (maybe 10 hours, 14- depending) of Seattle, Washington but it’s closer to Tacoma.
It’s an upcoming town, known for it’s fresh fishing; it’s granola like way of living. Although there is a Starbucks, a Wal-mart is kind of hard to find. Most people find it the perfect place to raise kids.
But don’t think it’s exactly ‘small town’. Meridian is known for it’s posh record shops (locally known Pet Sounds which has been around for years) and the up and coming cleverly known ‘The Record Shop’. Jitterbug the local coffee shop that rivals Starbucks- for if you’re in Washington, there has to be one. It holds a variety of shops, mostly locally owned. The community as a whole stands firm and very apart of Washington. But as any up and coming town it’s had a boom of youngsters, either moving across the country to discover the place or born and rose near or in Meridian.
Some reasons for Washington not having state taxes taken out of checks, for better education system and public health-care. Other can be because it accepts everyone or any background or culture.
It’s one of those places that if you wanted to reinvent yourself or discover who you are, it’s the place to come.

"You suck more. Have fun writing."
Gwen smirked and hugged him back. She knew what was wrong and just looked back over to her sister.
"Thank you for snapping out of that one. I mean who says Homecoming Queen can't have pink and black hair? And mom isn't going to make you dye your hair like mine or normal. Don't worry about that one."

She smiled. "Right." she watched Ed start to leave and then it hit her. "Oh god Gwen you have to get Ed to ask me before he gets brave enough to ask Jude." She looked back at her sister. "I need him. He'll keep me level. I mean hello I'm not going to win but I still have to be a part of the court. I need a date and I would he's the one." She looked hopefully at her sister. "Get him to ask me.." She furrowed her brow. "Or should I just ask him?"

Gwen ran a hand through her hair and smiled. The idea of Ed asking Jude hadn't even entered Ed's brain, Gwen knew that. She just raised a brow and didn't want to give Ed away for she knew he would just kill her.
"I'm sure he would go with you. I would ask him though after what he just saw here you know. He's probably thinking your going to want to go with someone else and not ask if i know Ed and he'll just ask Jude. I can keep him from asking her or even thinking about it if you want me too?"

"Oh my god. You're right. He could ask her any minute..." She grabbed her sister in a quick hug and kiss on the check and ran to catch Ed who was walking towards the parking lot with Jude. (mainly because we started talking about Jude and I forgot she was standing there). She caught up to them nearly out of breath because she was lugging her stuffed backpack with her. "Ed..." she fell into step beside them and leaned forward some giving Jude a smile. "Ed can I talk to you alone a minute."
Jude arched her brow. "Guess that's my que to leave..." she gave them a wave and took of before anyone could stop her.
Gen smiled suddenly nervous. She had never asked anyone out before and yes Ed was a boy so he counted. "Um yea so this homecoming thing.. I was thinking..." She couldn't even say it.

:Ed was startled at Gen suddenly showing back up as he raised a brow to the way she was acting. In his mind he was hoping that mainly she wasn't going to freak out on him again or anything along those lines. His eyes looked to her with a bit of worry. Until he realized what she was trying to say as he just laughed slightly and smiled:
"Are you asking if I would go with you?"
:he was hoping that was it or he's going to feel like an idiot:

She felt her cheeks flush. Oh this was just stupid it was Ed for Christ's sake. "Um yeah." she scrunched her nose up cutely. "I mean if you want to. Please don't feel like you have to just to save me from Darren Manor." She bit her lower lip watching him, her eyes hopeful. "I promise we can bail early. I mean come on the Homecoming how fun can that be right?" She wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans. "please don't tease me about it. Just a simple yes or no. Ok."

:She was a ball of nerves right now and he could just tell. His brow raised as he smiled:
"Yeah we can do the homecoming thing together. I'll put on a suit just for you."
:he touched each side of her shoulders:
"I wasn't teasing. I promise. I think it's rad."
:he thought about what he just said and then he realized that it might make her think he was taking it as a serious date and he knew Gen wasn't thinking that way. He removed his hands:
"That you got nominated. I would be honored to escort you."

She instantly threw her arms around his neck and pressed against him. She felt relief and an odd flutter of butterflies in her stomach. She left up on her tiptoes so she could whisper close to his ear. "Thank you Eddie." she softly kissed his cheek. "I think I might actually survive this with your help." She didn't pull away right away she just sort of stayed there not ready to move even if it did start to get awkward.
"I'm sorry I freaked out. I'm sorry if I got too girlie on you back there. I just..." her voice was soft. She was always the happy one always together and trying to make everyone laugh. This was a side of Gen she only let out on rare occasions and usually only to Ed. "Thank you. You are the best friend a girl could ever have." Something in her mind told her there was more to it than that though but she wouldn't let herself say it.

:Ed hugged her back and felt nervous because she was hugging a little longer than usual but he didn't mind:
"Hey it's what best friends are for Gen. It's okay it caught you off guard. The possibility of you being homecoming queen I highly doubt you even considered ever in your mind."
Re: Homecoming Announcement « Reply #24 on May 5, 2008, 10:37pm »
She laughed and pulled away. "Not in a million years. What were these people thinking. Ok so I guess I'm off to buy a dress." She started to back away. "You promised me a suit.. you know I expect one." She blew him a kiss and turned to leave waving at him over her shoulder. In moments she was gone.
