AN- So obviously I don't own anything related to Twilight. This is going to turn into a Paul/OC story because Paul is my favorite wolf. I'm writing this more for me, but comments are always greatly appreciated. I love to know what people think!
So Teagan Black is Jacob's twin sister. They're both already sixteen for this. There will be Bella/Vampire bashing. I don't know what else I should say, so I guess just go read the story now! I already have most of it written and will probably be updating once a week, maybe more depending on what kind of interest people are showing in the story. I'm not going to be one of those "I demand this many reviews before I post the new chapter!" kind of authors, but if its getting a lot on attention then I'll try to post updates more often!
I was standing, well more like frozen, at my locker. I vaguely recognized my best friends voice saying my name, but her previous words were still echoing through my head. Pauls back. Was he really back? He had been gone for almost two weeks now. Not that I was counting or anything, but it was easy to tell that he hadn't been in school. Everybody, and I do mean everybody knew who Paul was. A charming, womanizer, with a terrible temper. Not a day went by when there wasn't a new story floating around the school about his latest antics.
"TEAGAN BLACK!" Marissa shouted, effectively breaking through my thoughts this time.
"Huh?" was my ever-so-brilliant response. My gaze went from the book in my hand, paused halfway into my locker, and went to her. She surveyed my face for a moment before breaking out into a shit-eating grin.
"I knew it!" she exclaimed happily. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I put the book back in its place and turned my full attention to her, giving her my best confused face. "Why didn't you tell me before? Better yet, why didn't I notice before? I always pick up on stuff like this!"
I let out a huff, "Please, its not like I'm the only gir-"
But it was too late. That half sentence was all she needed to confirm what she knew.
"Please, don't do anything stupid!" I pleaded with her. "I mean it Riss! Don't try to do anything helpful." I had put air quotes around helpful. No matter how good her intentions would be, I knew that nothing good could possibly come out of it. I was just one of the many girls that had a crush on La Push's own hulk.
"But I think-" whatever she was about to say died on her tongue and her eyes narrowed at something behind me. I gave her a questioning glance before turning around, whatever good mood I had, vanishing immediately. There stood none other than Embry Call.
"Hey Teagan," he breathed out with a smile as he leaned against the locker next to me. He glanced up and with a slightly harsher tone added, "Marissa."
"What do you want, Call?" my best friend fired back instantly. The thing about Embry Call is that he thinks that he is in love with me. I say "thinks" because we've never actually spent alone time together because I don't see him like that. And besides, it would be way to weird to date him, he's my twin brother's best friend! That doesn't seem to be an issue for him though.
"I just came to talk to Teagan," he said before turning his attention back to me. Riss gave me an annoyed look before she walked away, sending one last insult at Embry. I grabbed the books that I need and held them against my chest. I slammed the locker door shut a little too loudly before turning back to face Embry completely.
"Yes, Embry?" I questioned, hoping that he wouldn't drag this out as much as he usually does so that I wouldn't be late for class. Again.
"You look nice today," he complimented me.
"You say that everyday. Is there something you wanted?" I asked quickly, glancing around the hallway. The crowd was starting to thin down, but the reaming few still stared at the two of us.
"Only because its true," he said with a large grin.
"Embry," I said warningly.
"Teagan," he teased back. I just gave him a look, that said 'just tell me what you want so that I can say no and we can go about the rest of our day.'
"I don't understand why you can't just give me a chance!" he exclaimed with a distraught expression.
"I don't understand why you can't just take no for an answer!" I shot right back.
"Because I know that you don't really mean it! You just don't want to date me because I'm one of Jake's friends!" So, he was back to that, huh? So what if that was one of the main reasons I always turned him down? If I say no, he should just accept that! Right? Oh, man.
"And you know that its not going to happen. Look Embry, we go through this all of the time! I'm not about get into again in the middle of the hallway either," I tried to give him my I'm serious face but its not like he ever gets it anyway. I couldn't help but notice his face fall as I walked away. I can't help the part of me that feels bad. I don't mean to hurt him, but I don't know what else to do. Should I give him a chance? One chance just to see? That way I could tell him that I tried, but he's just not for me? I'll have to talk to Riss about it later, though I kind of already know what she'll say.
I heard footsteps echoing through the hallway, they were too loud to be mine. I chanced a look up to see who else was still out there. I tried my best to stop the smile that wanted to work its way across my face. It didn't even make a differnce to know that he hadn't seen me.
All thoughts of Embry were replaced with that once glance up. Paul had now effectively taken up residence there instead. There was now only one thing going through my mind:
Damn that boy is gorgeous.
And then the warning bell rang. I took off in a sprint down the hallway, making into my seat just before the final bell rang. I shot my teacher an apologetic look as he started the lesson. He turned to the chalkboard as the class pulled out their notebooks and started copying the notes.
