Outside POV
The rain falling on La Push beach caused most of the kids from town to run home, but not Jacob Black. He sat on the beach staring out over the cloudy water, soaking in the cool spring rain. Tomorrow everything would change, he sighed, tomorrow the reservation school was closing down for some much needed repairs and he, along with his friends, were off to Forks High School. He dreaded it, he had known his friends from the reservation forever, but in a school so much bigger the odds of him having his friends in all his classes was slim. He stood from the water logged beach and made his way back home, hands shoved deep in his pockets and head hung low. Tomorrow was going to suck, he groaned.
Edward Cullen lay in his large open room, a pair of headphones firmly attached to his ears, humming along with the soft jazz music from his IPod. He had just returned from hunting, small deer didn't appease his appetite like mountain lions but they would have to do. His siblings were spread throughout the large house, Alice and Jasper were making love in their room, Emmett and Rosalie were fighting over the remote downstairs, and his mother, Esme, was in the garden out back tending to the roses she loved. His father, Carlisle, worked at the local hospital and spent most nights there. He sighed, thoughts of immortality began to run through his head again. He unwillingly listened into the thoughts of his family, such love from Alice and Jasper, incredible passion from Emmett and Rose and Esme's thoughts were happily centered on Carlisle. 'A cruel joke', he thought, 'to be able to read the minds of those so much luckier than me, a cruel joke.' He didn't have anyone to wake up next to or share his future with. He turned back to his music and began to unravel the delicate melody, maybe tomorrow would be better.
Jacob's POV
I let out a sigh as Embry pulled into the Forks High School parking lot.
"Try not to look so excited." Quil joked, opening the passenger door.
I slid out of the middle seat of the truck after him and groaned again, "This blow, seriously why couldn't we just take the next few months off."
"It'll be fine, you need to stop worrying." Quil said, patting me sympathetically on the back.
I flung my backpack over my shoulder and trudged through the heavy rain with my friends. We quickly found the office and patiently waited as the woman behind the desk gave each us our new assignments, we quickly compared them. My heart dropped, not a single class with anyone. I was going to be stuck in a new school, all alone. Someone shoot me now.
"Let's go back in. I'm sure she can change something around." Quil said halfheartedly.
"No, just forget it. It's only a few months at most." I shrugged, seriously what was the point in fighting? I didn't want to be here anyway.
"Well, we'll see you at lunch." He tried to reassure me, but it wasn't working.
My friends smiled and hurriedly separated into different directions, leaving me alone with my map of the school. I found his way to my first class, English, and was relieved when the teacher didn't make me introduce myself. The students stared but none seemed too really care about the new boy in class, they must have been told about us transferring in. The morning flew by, thankfully, and before I knew it the bell for lunch rang. I grabbed an apple from the lunch line and scanned the room for my friends. I quickly spotted Embry and Quil huddled together at a small table at the back end of the room.
"Hey." I said with a smile, the first of the day.
"There you are." Embry announced loudly.
"So how's it going?" Quil asked, pulling out a chair for me.
"Not too bad, haven't really talked to anyone though." I replied, biting into the apple and sitting down.
"Me either, but hey there are some seriously hot chicks here." Quil mused.
"I know there's this chick in my Spanish class, seriously hottest chick I've ever seen." Embry replied. I ignored them, I was use to their hormones raging ramped.
Embry stood and scanned the room "There, see her, the blonde?"
I turned to look but couldn't see beyond the first few clusters of students.
"Dude, she's a Cullen." Quil sounded perturbed.
"I don't care what she is, as long as she's mine." Embry said with puppy dog eyes.
"Remember? Seth's talked about them before." Quil sounded more annoyed now.
Embry laughed, "Oh yeah, the vampires." He mocked in his best Dracula impression.
"Vampires? Seriously?" I said annoyed. I never believed the storied my elders had passed down, many seemed farfetched and some, like the vampire legend, seemed just ridiculous.
"Come on now, don't you believe in the Cold Ones?" Embry joked again.
"Stupid superstitions, no wonder everyone is avoiding us. Crazies like you believing in vampires." I stood on the last word and caught a glimpse of the Cullen's, all 5 sets of eyes were on me, but my eyes quickly locked on one. He was young with bronze hair and dark haunting eyes that seemed to burrow into mine as if he were trying to read my mind. Chills ran up my spine and I quickly sat back down.
"I, um…." I stammered, unable to form words in my head.
"You okay?" Embry asked.
"Yea, just need to throw this away." I shook the apple core in my hand.
I wanted to look back at the Cullen's again. I wanted to see if he was still staring at me. I tried to stealthy turn my head around but still couldn't see him through the crowd. The bell rang, I quickly jumped up to stare at the family across the room but they were already gone.
We walked from the cafeteria together, "What do you guys have now?" I asked.
"Gym." They answered in unison, "You?"
I glanced down at his schedule and groaned, "Biology 2."
We parted ways, I wished I could be heading to Gym right now, to be with my friends, playing basketball or running, but no I was going to waste away in Biology.
The bell rang and I tried to pick up my speed, but trying to maneuver through a hallway with books and a map was hard. I slid into Biology and smiled at the teacher, hoping that my tardiness would be chalked up to my newbie status. The teacher quickly introduced himself (I didn't even bother to remember his name), handed me a battered textbook, and pointed to the only available seat. I turned to where the teacher pointed and there he was, the bronze haired boy from the cafeteria, staring wide-eyed at me. I walked gingerly toward the open seat next to him and smiled at him. He didn't smile back, instead his body tensed up, his muscled flexed from under his form fitting shirt and for a moment he looked as though he was going to be sick. I quickly sat down and scooted toward the edge of the table, as far away from the strange boy as I possibly could.
The class dragged on, every few minutes I allowed myself to look over to see if my desk mate had moved, but he was as still as a statue. I began to doubt myself, what did I do to piss this guy off? 'That's really being self-involved', I thought, 'he doesn't even know me.' The bell rang and before and before I could blink the boy was off of his seat and headed for the door, I stood to leave but in my haste bumped into him. He was hard as rock, I fell to the ground. A low growl erupted from his throat, I began to shake.
"What are you?" I whimpered.
With that he was gone.
A/N Hey guys! I hope you like this, it's something new for me so we'll see where it goes! I'm working on Chapter 2 and it should be up later this week! Enjoy!
