(Jacob's POV)
My name is Jacob Ephraim Black, but my friends call me Jake. I am 14 years old and am from a small Indian tribe called La Push in the state of Washington. My parents are Billy and Sarah Black; my dad is the chief of our tribe and is grooming me to walk in his footsteps one day. I am a proud member of the Quileute tribe, we are strong, fierce, loyal, and above all else duty bound. My life started off as any typical kids, I have two sisters Rebecca and Rachel. Rebecca and Rachel are twins who are four years older than me. I am the baby, the only boy, and the future chief of my tribe.
Me and my two best friends Quil Ateara and Embry Call grew up together in La Push and have been inseparable most of our lives. Quil's family, like mine, is rooted deep in the history and ancestry of the Quileute. Embry however, is half Makah and half Quileute. His mother is Makah and grew up on the Makah reservation, located about two hours north of La Push. His father, well, we are not sure who he is. All Embry knows is that is father is Quileute and his mother moved him to La Push as a baby to get away from the judgments of the Makah and to start a new life amongst the Quileute.
My sisters graduated from high school last year and are now attending college in Seattle. I am psyched that I will not have to go to high school with them. Embry, Quil, and I are going to be starting our freshman year of high school at La Push High School on the reservation. We have plans to rule the school, become star football players, and break a lot of hearts. So here I am the first day of school and I am actually nervous of what I am going to wear today. I mean who wants to be an outcast their first day of high school. Anyway, I get dressed and head into the kitchen to get some breakfast while I wait for Quil and Embry.
As I am heading into the kitchen, I see my father and mother talking quietly to one another.
"I can't believe that John is back after all these years away." my mother states.
"I know, but it's great to have him and his family back in the tribe. His father is getting older and I am not sure how much longer he could have sat on the Elders Council. Better to have John back to take his place, than his brother William." my dad replies coolly.
I knew who they were talking about, John Young. He and my dad were best friends when they were growing up. John and he were trouble makers back in the day. John left the tribe to move out east after getting in too much trouble. You see, John is hot headed and a true Quileute warrior. No one messed with John, his family, his friends, or his tribe. Those who did suffered for it. He is a legend amongst us young Quileute; he is idolized.
As I walk into the kitchen their talking quiets. My mom looks at me as if she is going to cry, but I know better she is too tough.
"Jacob, there are eggs, bacon, and toast on the counter. Eat up or you are going to be late for school." my mom says.
As I am eating, my dad come and sits at the table with his coffee and newspaper. As he is reading the paper, I notice he is looking at me over the top of it.
"Hey dad, how are you this morning?"
"Very well Jacob. How are you?"
"Okay I guess, ready to go to school."
"Looking forward to your first day of high school?"
"Yeah, I am really looking forward to playing sports."
"Remember the rules though Jacob."
"I do dad. No worries. Academics come first, athletics next. The school may only require a 2.0 to make me eligible to play, but you and mom require at least a 3.5. If my grades skip, then I can't play. I know dad, don't worry. So you looking forward to seeing John…uh, I mean Mr. Young and his family?"
"Good man. Yes I am looking forward to seeing John and his family. He has a step-…." he states, but was cut off by a knock at the door. As I pull the door open, I see Quil and Embry bouncing on the balls of their feet.
"Bye mom, bye dad. Going to school, see you later!" I yell as I grab my backpack and run out the door.
~~O~~
The guys and I laugh and joke all the way to school. We rag on each other for everything from our hair cuts to how the other is going to be red shirted during football season. As we approach the school, we quiet down our insults and walk anxiously to the cafeteria to retrieve our schedules.
La Push High School is small and there are not a large amount of students, so it doesn't take long to get our schedules. My schedule is alright I guess:
1st Period: Geography
2nd Period: Gym
3rd Period: Study Hall
Lunch
4th Period: Biology Honors
5th Period: History Honors
6th Period: Algebra I Honors
7th Period: English I Honors
Quil, Embry, and I have 2nd and 3rd period together. Quil and Embry did not get stuck taking honors courses. No that was reserved for me. My parents are fanatics about education and attending college. They want our generation to be educated and take the Quileute tribe into a new era.
~~O~~
The first half of my day is uneventful, I go to class, take notes, get my books, and write down my homework assignments. It is pretty boring actually and I am looking forward to lunch. I am starving. I walk to lunch with Quil and Embry and overhear people talking about the "new girl" in school. Funny, I didn't know there was going to be a new student. I usually know these things, being the son of the chief and all. So my peers were going on and on about her:
"She is soooo pretty…"
"Wonder if she has a boyfriend?"
"I should ask her out on a date!"
"Dude she is HOT."
"She is so nice. We have 2nd period together and she is funny and very pretty."
"She isn't even Quileute, how can she go to school here?"
I join the line to get my lunch and have a seat with my friends at an empty table.
"Did you know there was going to be a new girl today?" I asked Quil and Embry.
"No." they reply in unison.
"Huh. Have you seen her yet?" I asked.
"Nope." Quil replied.
"Not really. I saw her down the hall after 1st period, but I didn't get a good look at her." Embry says casually, shrugging his shoulders.
There isn't much conversation between us as we eat our lunch. We look like three boys who are eating for the first time ever, just shoveling food into our mouths. We are so quiet at our table that I am able to hear the cafeteria doors open. As I turn my head to see who walked in or out, my eyes behold the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I think I forgot how to chew, swallow, or even breathe; she is perfection on two legs.
