My Werewolf Best Friend

"Come on, Nessie! We are going to be late for school again!" I heard Jacob call from the garage. It was sunny outside, so only Jake and I were going to school."I'm coming!" I shouted as I headed out of my bathroom and into the garage. A huge grin was plastered across Jake's face as he leaned on Alice's Porsche.

"What do you in there that takes so long?"

"I try to make myself look presentable. Maybe you should try it sometime." I teased.

"Oh haha. That was hilarious." He replied, sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"You know, you should hurry up and leave before Alice gets back from hunting and busts you for taking her car."

"You know what? You're right."He opened my door, made sure I got in all right, then hurried to the driver's side and started up the engine.

"I wonder if she'll have a vision and realize its gone or just come back and assume you took it."

"Let's hope it's the latter part of those two, don't want to make a scene at school."I laughed as I imagined how badly Alice would go off when she figured out her precious car was gone.

"So how's school been?" he asked while smiling at me. Dang, he was gorgeous. You see, I kinda had a thing for Jacob. Not that he would ever like me that way at all. Ever. I sighed.

"What Nessie?"Jacob asked.

"Nothing."

"Aw, come on. You can tell me anything."

"Sorry Jake. I'm not telling."

"You are so much like Bella."

"What?"

"You heard me. You are so much like Bella." Jake constantly told me that. I didn't believe him one bit though. I wasn't anything like the amazing, loving, beautiful woman my mother was.

"Why do you keep telling me that?"

"Because it's true." He said matter-of-factly. But we had arrived at school so I couldn't argue with him further. I hopped out of the car and turned to Jacob.

"Have a nice day, Ness." Jacob hugged me and kissed my forehead, our usual parting gestures.

"You too, Jake." Then, we walked of to our classes. I hated how we didn't have any classes together. He was a senior though, I was a junior. I knew my father had made him a year older than me on purpose. He heard my thoughts about Jacob, and he disapproved. Typical dad. Of course, the hatred was probably fueled by the hatred of werewolves and vampires in general.

I made it to my class and sat down beside my girl best friend.

"Hey Lizz. What's up?"

"Oh not much. Execpt..."

"Execpt?"

"Well... I'm going to dump Caleb."

"What? Why? I thought you liked him."

"It's just not working out. He's not the right guy."

"Oh. Huh." That was unexpected. She had been going out with Caleb for forever. "Well, good luck."

"Thanks. I'll need it ." The teacher then walked in. She started the boring lecture on stuff I already knew. I didn't bother paying attention. That was the bad thing about being so mentally advanced. You were so bored in school. Finally, however, it ended. But not before assigning us a group project. I was paired with Lizzie, though. Thank goodness. We tried to find a time for us to work together. We couldn't go to her house because they were still unpacking from their recent move here. We couldn't go to my house because it was full of vampires.

"But why can't we just go to your house?"

"Because my parents don't like visitors."

"But this is for school. Don't you think they might make an exception?"

"I don't think so." Lizzie sighed but didn't push it further. She knew she couldn't change my mind. We slowly made it through the rest of our morning. Then, we went to lunch. I went to sit by Jake as usual. And Lizzie sat by some of her other friends, as usual.

"Hey Nessie. How was your day?"

"It was fine. What about yours?"

"It was ok. Did you get any homework?"

"I have a project with Lizzie."

"Oh, really?" He asked. "Why don't you invite her over today so you can work on it?"

"What?!"

"It's for your school. You don't want to get bad grades do you?"

"Since when do you care about my grades?"

"Ok. The real reason is to make your dad angry. But you should still invite her over. Have a normal life for once."

"But that would mean she stay in a house full of vampires and werewolves."

"Yep." And then the bell rung.

"See ya later Jake."

"Bye, Ness. Don't forget, invite her over."

"Sure sure." He smiled as he recognized his catch phrase and I couldn't help but smile back. He kissed my forehead and then we went off to our own classes.

I met up with Lizzie and we walked to our class.

"Hey, I changed my mind. How about you come over after school?"

Lizzie did a double take.

"What?"

'I said, 'Why don't you come over school?'"

"Um, sure. What made you change your mind?"

"Jake told me to."

Jake, your brother?"

"No, he's not really my brother. He's my friend that lives with me.

"Oh yeah. Friend.' I rolled my eyes.

"Oh my gosh. I thought we went over this. He's my best friend and only my friend."But my blush gave it away.

"Do you want it to be more?" I bit my lip.

"Oh my gosh!! You do!!!"She giggled. "You soooo like him."

"Ok maybe I do a little. But shut up!"

She continued to giggle, but finally stopped. Not once did she quit smiling though. At least the day ended quickly. Jake was waiting outside my class as usual.

"Hey Jake. This is-"

"I know you. You're Lizzie. From the park, remember?"

"Oh, yeah the guy who stole the car."

"For the last time, I borrowed it."
"Uh huh." Lizzie said sarcasticly. Jake gave me an 'I'll tell you later look'. We walked over to the Porsche.

"Nice ride. Did you steal this one too?" Lizzie teased. Before

Jake could respond, the door opened. The figure that me and Jacob were scared silly of came out of that car. One of the most dangerous beings right now gracefully slid out of the seat, looking furious. There she was. Alice Cullen.
