[Prologue]
Mike Newton's House
Forks, Washington
Saturday, November 15
12:32 a.m.
I've never been drunk before.
Bella Swan thought to herself as she stumbled her way through the throngs of upperclassmen who had infested Mike Newton's home while his parents were out of town for the weekend. The house reeked of pot and every corner of the large house was littered with beer bottles and red solo cups. Studiously ignoring the leers and catcalls directed at her from her drunken peers, Bella continued to trip her way in the direction of her target who was leaning against a doorframe, just a room away, nursing a bottle of Natty Light.
Jacob Black.
Fork's High School's infamous bad boy.
Jacob Black looked every bit the bad boy he was reputed to be. From his tall, muscled frame covered in ripped jeans and a skintight charcoal gray tee shirt that highlighted every defined muscle in his torso, he was every girl's secret fantasy. Tall, dark, and handsome. He had a rather clean hair cut, a simple ivy league cut, but his large tribal tattoo on his left shoulder, that was peeking out just barely from underneath his tee shirt's sleeve, to his hooded, bedroom eyes, to his omnipresent smirk, Jacob Black was anything but a preppy school boy. He rode a black, Harley Davidson motorcycle to school, walked with an almost regal confidence, and had a reputation for trouble. Everything about him screamed danger, so it was no surprise that Bella Swan's interactions with Jacob Black were border-line non-existence. Pausing just before she reached him, Bella steadied herself using the wall beside her, straightened her white, flowy cami, and silently willed herself not to become intimidated by his 6'5" frame.
Here goes nothing.
Jacob Black chuckled to himself as he watched little Bella Swan mentally prepare herself to approach him. He found it incredibly comical that he intimidated her to that degree, but he could only assume that her older brother, Emmett, who he had had less than favorable relations with since elementary school, was the root cause of her weariness around him. Jacob could not deny that he was surprised to see the perfect little sister of Emmett Swan at this party, but he was even more surprised to see her drunk at this party.
It was common knowledge at Forks High School that Bella Swan was not a party animal. While most blamed her aversion to partying on her over-protective older brother, the truth was that Bella simply did not enjoy them. She was innately an introvert, and large crowds of people made her uncomfortable. This, combined with her distaste for alcohol, did not make her a frequenter of the high school party scene. Despite this common knowledge of the student body, Bella continued to be invited to every party thrown in the small town of Forks; whether it be for the entire student body or just for upperclassmen, like the party on this particular evening, Bella Swan always received an invitation. Bella assumed it was because of her relation to her popular, captain-of-the-football team brother, but Jacob knew it was because the majority of the male student body wanted to get in her pants.
"Jacob," Bella slurred, wobbling towards him. "I need-" she began before losing her footing and beginning to topple towards the alcohol soaked floor. Jacob quickly caught Bella around the waist, steadying her against the doorframe, where he had previously been lounging, as she flushed a bright, tomato red. "I need to talk to you." She finished quietly, tucking a wavy lock of long, cappuccino brown hair behind her ear. .
Jacob nodded at her to continue before taking a swig of his beer, curious as to what she could want to say to him. With a deep breath, Bella looked directly into Jacob's hooded steel gray eyes.
"I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend."
