Chapter 1

So It Begins

I'm a normal teenage guy; well at least I like to think that I am. My name is Jake, Jacob Black. I hang out with my best friends Leah and Emily we have fun, like normal teenagers do. We go to parties, go to the movies, hang out and each other's houses you know normal things. The only thing is that none of us have a certain person to call ours, in my case a girlfriend. It's not that I can not get one (actually my friends call me a man hoe considering all the girls I dated) it is just that I have been hurt before you know, and really do not want to be again. Leah, she can have a bit of an attitude problem from time to time she gets pissed at all the wrong things at all the wrong times. It's like she is PMS-ing all the damn time it can get a little over whelming at some points but I can take it. Some say that is why she does not have a boyfriend we tease her about it but she always says, "I don't need a man to complete me" the normal lonely women saying. Emily on the other hand over thinks everything she tries to analysis every little detail and tries to find loopholes around her feelings but Leah and I can see right through her we read her like an open book. We have troubles like normal teenagers but that does not slow us down; we live every moment to its full uses.

"Omg Jake did you hear that the fall fair is having a talent show this weekend? You should totally try and do it." Leah said proudly she has been trying to make me sing at one of those things since school has started. I don't see why as far as I know I have never sang in front of them. Which is making me think have I been singing in front of them? I might have actually got caught up in a song a just let some slip.

"C'mon Jake you should I mean this would awesome for you, hey you might even get a little hottie out of it, girls love guys who can sing. " Emily said lifting her eyes brows and rubbing her shoulder up against mine. Emily kind sort of lived her life through me our sophomore year. I would always call her and tell her about my sex life and all the stories and that were amazing by the way. She seemed to be fine with it until she got laid herself. Edward Cullen the so called love of her life the went on for a while until Emily thought that she was pregnant and when Edward found out about they he split, just like a Cullen.

"Really guys, you both know how I am when it comes to being on stages" I said with a reassuring face. I have had stage fright since my eighth grade graduation, when I had to make a speech in front of the entire class. I was doing fine until I looked up and into the crowd of students and parents with all on me. One look is all it took and I was out like a light. Next thing I knew I was in an olive garden restaurant with my head on the tables deep breathing.

"Dude you are really going to have to get over that, college is right around the corner and do you think that they are going to care if you can't talk in front of crowds, nope, that is just going to be a fat ass "F" on you report card" Leah threw in. Leah was always trying to give others advice, but in the process she kind of hurts peoples feelings. She is a little bit like a mother that I never wanted. She always tells us that we would not survive in the really world because we are too soft. Trust me when I say I really want to sucker punch her in the mouth when she talks/gives us advice.

"Thanks, thanks a lot Leah. You know why don't you try and go for it you can sing way better then I can and besides you better on stage then I am and won't barf as soon and your foot hits the stage " I said trying to get off the topic of me. Leah was in the speech club since freshman year, and also had drama as a class now she was a walking/talking actress.

"Thanks but no thanks I don't really need the attention right now I'd rather stay just like I am. " Leah said looking down at her feet and biting the inside of her jaw like she was ashamed to look at us.

"Are you-" Emily started.

"Hey guys what's up" A sweet and soft voice came from in front of us. I was Bella Swan, she was so beautiful. She had long brown hair, beautiful brown hair, she was wearing a forks high school pull over hoodie, and really nice jeans that hugged every single curve of her lower body. To be honest it made little Jake wake up and come to say hello. I did my best to hide it with the books in my hand I wasn't sure if it was working or not but I guess it was because no one was saying anything, that or they were really not trying to embarrass me in the hallway.

"Oh hey Bella what's going on?" Emily answered. Emily knew just about everyone that walked these hallways. She was like the walking Facebook or something.

"Are you guys going to the fall fair this weekend?" Bella asked looking almost hopeful.

"Yes Leah and I are suppose to help set up my father is doing to dunk tank this year so yeah" Emily said.

"What about you Jacob, are you going" Bella asked.

"Well I, I don't-" I said stuttering over my words a little.

"YES, he is going, as a matter of fact he will be singing in the talent show this weekend end" Emily stated throwing her arm over my shoulder and grinning. My head snapped over to her.

"Are you kidding me?" I whispered

"Cool, I guess I'll see you there" Bella said looking me dead in the face.

"Y-yup sure will," I said stuttering like a stupid fool.

"Well since your going, I was wondering if you would like to go with me, as-as a date? " Bella said looking down at her feet and playing with her nails, looking extremely nervous.

"Um sure Bella I'd love to go with you to the fall fair, as a date." I said laughing like a drunken monkey once I repeated what she said.

"Cool, pick me up and 4, we could even go to Seth's bon fire afterwards if that's cool?" she said looking hopeful as if she wouldn't want the night to end to early.

"Yeah that would be awesome," I said not stopping smiling. I couldn't help it I was really getting ready to be on a date with the hottest girl in the school. The best part was she was a senior and I was only a junior, if that doesn't get a mans confidence up then I don't know what really would.

"Cool!" she said smiling her pretty smile.

"Great!" I said staring

"Good" she said

"Amazing" I said

"OKAY, so we really need to be getting to class isn't that right Leah?" Emily hinted towards Leah that it was time for us to go.

"No class doesn't start for a another ten minutes," Leah said not getting the point.

"LEAH lets go!" Emily said in her demanding voice, the whole time they were going back and forth Bella and I could not stop staring and smiling at each other.

"Oh-OH okay, right, so he'll call you okay Bella." Emily said steering me towards my class.

The entire day I couldn't think of anything but the fact that come Saturday I will be in the car with the most beautiful girl I have every lied eyes on. I mean that was going to me the most amazing night ever. To bad it was only Wednesday I got a long time to go. Seeing her in the hallway between periods made my heart jump every time. She would always through me a slight smile and I throw one back. Then came 6th period, which is a class that Bella and I had together, and we sat right next to each other I took this as a time to get the details about Saturday. So I whipped out my phone and started to text her,

Jake: So I totally can't wait until Saturday, its going to be awesome"

Bella: Yeah I really can't I already have what I'm going to wear in mind and everything"

Jake: Wow really I think that I'm going to go shopping for a new outfit. Just for you"

Bella: Wow your going to buy a new outfit just for me, you must really like me."

Jake: Of course I do"

Bella: What do you like about me?"

Jake: Really what's not to like you have the most beautiful eyes, I'm a total sucker for brown eyes ask anyone."

Bella: Oh really. So what happens when I bat my eyes like this?" *Look up*;)

I looked up and she started batting her eyes and I just melted, she made me feel like a Popsicle on a hot summer day.

Jake: Well that just made me melt.

Bella: hmm really, so if I do that I can get whatever I want huh?"

Jake: I wouldn't say that."

Bella: Then what would you say?

Jake: you'd defiantly get me...

Bella: Really now. ;)

Jake: Oh yeah." P

Bella: I might have to test that out some time soon."

Jake: Can't Wait;)

"Am I boring you two, Mr. Black, MS. Swan" Asked Mr. Verde, Ah Mr. Verde Our English teacher is a tall man we a crew cut and huge bags under his eyes as if he hasn't slept in days. He is also my baseball couch. He wore his forks baseball couch t-shirt everyday of the week even on the dress down day for the teachers. I guess we can say the he was really into his job.

"No, coach Verde your fine" I said not thinking, the class laughed and Mr. Verde's Face went from pale white to candy apple red within 20 seconds.

"Really Mr. Black, since you want to be funny in class how about 30 laps during practice after school today, still think its funny?" He asked with a very angry look on his face.

"No sir, I don't," I said looking down at my Romeo and Juliet book

"Ms. Swan, Phone away, both of you, or next time you can read them out loud to the class" He said turning on his heals and walked away.

Bella and I looked at each other and smiled. I thought to myself this was going to be the most awesome time of my life.
