It was cold outside, the normal weather of Forks, Washington in early June. I was warm under my big blood red comforter with my best friend sleeping next to me. My family had gone out hunting leaving Jake and me alone. Jake was older than me by a couple of years but stopped aging at eighteen. Jake was special, he could turn into a wolf, making him immortal as long as he kept on phasing. He is my best friend, we have never been apart for more than an hour since the day I was born. My actual age is eleven but I have the body of a sixteen year old and maturity of an adult. I am half vampire, half witch. When I was two years old we realized I had powers, which Jake shared. Jakes cousins were a pureblooded family of wizards and the gene passed onto him but skipped his father's generation. My grandfather, Carlisle, researched this and came across a man named Albus Dumbledore. He was the headmaster of a wizarding school in England. I was not old enough to attend then but parents planned on sending Jake and me there to learn how to control our powers and so he could meet his family.
When I was six years old I was sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Jake came with me as a teachers aid until we would be in the same classes, he however did learn over the years just as I did. There are four houses in Hogwarts; Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor. Jake and I were sorted into Gryffindor. I know a lot of people in school and get along with most of them except the Slytherins. They bother me, walking around thinking that are all high and mighty because they are pureblooded. Jakes family is all Slytherin except for his cousin Sirius Black, who is in Gryffindor.
Lily Evans is my best girl friend, she is the person I can talk to about anything and everything. She is extremely pretty with dark auburn hair that falls about a couple inches past her shoulder in straight layers around her heart shaped freckled face. Her eyes are very unique, they are an almost jade green with silver streaks that stand out against her skin. Lily is extremely smart, she takes all honors classes and is a prefect. After school she wants to be a medi-witch, or a doctor. She has read tons of books on magical medicine and spells.
I was quite different in looks compared to Lily. My hair was extremely curly and fell to the top of my waist. It was a rich gold color with red hues making it look bronze. I have chocolate brown eyes, which I inherited from my mother when she was human. I always line my eyes in black eyeliner making them stand out against my extremely pale skin. I was very pretty but never use that to my advantage unlike my Aunt Rosalie. I love to have fun with my friends, whether that be parties or just messing around playing pranks on the teachers and Slytherins. I play chaser on the Quidditch team, a magical sport played on broomsticks, which I love and hope to make captain next year. The game could be very violent but luckily Miss Anderson is very good at healing.
I snuggled up against Jakes soft russet fur that felt like silk as I tangled my small hands into the long hair. I smiled as he sighed happily. I love Jake, he's so sweet to me, whenever I need something he stops whatever he's doing to help me with whatever I need. He's extremely handsome with his tall stature that towers over my 5'4" height. He has dark tan skin and shaggy black hair that is always standing all over the place. His dark chocolate eyes always hold amusement and humor as he jokes around with his friends from school, my uncles and father. He only wears athletic shorts, except in school when we have to wear our uniform, that hang low on his hips showing off his extremely muscular body from running with his pack.
Jake was different than Lily, she was someone I could talk to about gossip, boys or sex. I can't do that with Jake, it would be awkward, or at least I think so. However with Jake, he's always there when I do need him, which is all the time. He listens when I talk to him even if its something really stupid, when I cry or am scared he holds me and makes things ok, when I'm upset he runs with me. I love running and run as fast as my dad who is extremely fast. Jake runs just as fast as I do in his wolf form which makes racing fun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My cell phone vibrated telling me I had a text message. Reaching over to my night stand I saw it was from Lily.
-Hey girl what's up?
I slid my phone to the full keyboard and hit the reply button.
-Not much, sleeping w/ Jake…how about you?
I sent the message as I put the phone next to me as a waited for Lily to reply. It vibrated soon enough.
-OH! Hubba hubba! Lol, are you sure you don't like him?
I rolled my eyes, even if I found Jake slightly attractive he would never feel the same.
-Lils you know the answer to that question, NO! we're just friends.
Sending the message I nuzzled Jake with my face breathing his woodsy cedar smell. I put my palm on his neck and thought about what she said, 'Could I possibly like Jake? We've been best friends for forever, he would never like me like that…' However as I thought more and more about it I realized how much I actually did like him; the way his skin felt under my touch, how his muscles would ripple and move in sync with his body. He was beautiful, and I'm in love with him. My phone was constantly vibrating now, reading the caller ID Lily was calling me, I guess I didn't text her back.
"What do you want?" I said being sarcastic knowing it would make her mad.
"Ha! Well maybe if you two would get your hormones in check and just fucking have sex! I swear to god Nessie, Emmet and I are frickin' planning on stripping y'all down locking you in a room!" Lily yelled which caused me to blush thinking about Jakes body pressed flush against mine. A strange tingling pulled at my lower stomach.
"Shut up Lily! Maybe I'll tell James Potter your true feelings for him."
"You wouldn't! Nessie please don't he cannot know I like him back! NESSIE!" I laughed, James Potter, a good friend of Jakes, has had a huge thing for Lily since day one, however he is the quite player. Girls fall at his feet at just when he smiles. He is very cute, I will give him that, with his black unruly hair that never lays flat, his slight tan and gold green hazel eyes that stand behind glasses giving him the sexy smart look. Lily and James are friends but they fight constantly.
"I'm not going to do that Lily and you know that."
"Uh huh, you're very predictable Nessie, remember I stalk you!" I laughed at our inside joke.
"Oh my God you should so come over and spend the summer here! That would be so much fun and we could have you fly over and maybe Jake can invite the guys!" I said excitedly.
Sirius Black, Jakes cousin, James Potter and Remus Lupin were all part of Jakes group of friends. Sirius and Emmet were very much alike in personality. He had black curly hair that fell to his shoulders, he too was extremely tan but had crystal blue eyes that were always full of mischief. He was very tall and muscular, making extremely obvious that he was Jakes cousin. Sirius was Gryffindor's heartthrob. Remus Lupin was very much like Jasper, with straight long shaggy blonde hair that fell around his freckled scarred face in layers. He was very handsome but extremely modest compared to James and Sirius.
"Oh we should! Hey let me ask my mom and you call the guys, see you later bitch!" Lily laughed as she said good-bye.
Lily, James, Sirius and Remus were going to come after dinner so I was extremely excited. My friends would be spending the entire rest of the summer here before we had to go back to school. My father, who can read minds, had to put up with my obnoxious to the extremity. Of course when I tried to jump on his back yelling at him to give me a piggy-back ride Jake decided to go cliff diving.
I love cliff diving, it's so much fun with the free falling and doing tricks and then safely landing in the cool gray water. I ran upstairs to my bedroom finding my Aunt Alice in my walk in closet placing a bathing suit on my bed. "Hey Cutie, you going swimming with Jacob?" She asked in her high soprano voice turning around to face me. My aunt was as tall as I was and loved to shop. She gave the energizer bunny a bad name with all the shopping she does. I hate shopping, I'm the biggest tomboy, I play quidditch, which I train in the mud and rain, I work out and get all sweaty, I'm not afraid to get down and dirty with the guys. My aunts hate this, they believe that a woman should be proper and ladylike. If I had things my way I would wear athletic shorts and tank tops, but that was not an option apparently.
I pulled on the electric purple and black bikini before throwing on a zip up hoodie and black athletic shorts, they belong to Sirius. I didn't bother putting on shoes, I never wear shoes unless I'm in school. Walking down the hardwood stairs and into the living room I saw my Aunt Rose and Jake talking in hushed voices. I cleared my throat announcing that I was there in the room. Their talking stopped as I walked over to Jake taking his hand like I always. He pulled me towards the door but stopped mid stride when my Aunt put her pale manicured hand on his muscled tan arm. "Remember what I said Jacob, tell her, it's time." She said her features softening just a bit. I looked up at Jake who stood a full head taller than me, he nodded before running out the door.
