The third guy said in a husky voice, "My name is Jacob Black."
The teacher gave them permission to find a seat and sit down. Jacob walked swiftly to the back of the room, making no eye contact with anyone. He walked past my desk, quickly looking up at me. His black eyes widened, and Phillip tightened his grip on my hand. Jacob took a seat in the desk behind me. I could feel Jacob's stare burning the back of my head.
Phillip took a glance at Jacob. He glared. Then, Phillip turned his attention back to me.
"That Jacob guy is kind of creeping me out. He's staring at you, you know," Phillip whispered to me. Soon, the bell rang for homeroom to end. Phillip kissed my hand, and left for his next class. I turned around to peek at Jacob. He wasn't at his desk anymore, so I turned forward again, and started to pack my things back in my bag. I sensed a tall figure standing over me. I looked up, and Jacob was right there in front of my desk, staring down at me.
"You forgot this," he said as he handed me my pencil. My fingers burned, not just because his hands were extremely warm, but because an electrical current formed and connected between us.
"Hey, um, what's your name?" Jacob asked, smiling for the first time since I've spotted him.
"Renesmee," I answered softly.
"Um, well, Renesmee," Jacob stuttered. "Do you want to go to dinner with me tomorrow night?"
"Well, I have a boyfriend," I replied meekly.
"Oh," he said.
My conscience was screaming at me to "BE NICE!" I couldn't ignore it.
"I'll be your friend, though," I suggested.
"Sure, sure," he said. I thought, Who cares if Phillip is creeped out by him? I knew I was playing with fire, but Phillip never said Jacob and I couldn't be friends!
"Also, Renesmee," Jacob asked. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.
"Put your number in," he smiled, extending his arm to me. He smiled brightly, and his nose crinkled a little bit when he did so. I have to admit, it was kind of cute. I pulled my phone out and gave it to him. We exchanged phone numbers, and returned each other's phone.
"See you later, Jacob," I said with a smile.
