Overcoming the Odds: The Jacob and Emily Story
Jacob's mom pulled up at Rosewood High and parked the car she turned and looked at her son.
"Have a good day son and try not to get in any trouble." Said Mrs. Smith
Jacob looked at his mom and nodded
"Yeah ok." He said getting out
He walked towards the school with his backpack and guitar case and walked inside the school.
"Checkout the new guy." Noel said with his friends. Jacob just ignored them and kept walking.
He walked to his first class, which was English. When he walked inside, he saw the teacher look at him.
"You must be Jacob Smith, I'm Mrs. Montgomery."
"Nice to meet you." He spoke.
Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily were looking at him. Hanna noticed he was dressed in black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt. She also noticed his faux-hawk. Emily could see his muscles through his shirt and blushed.
"Where do you want me to sit?" he asked
"In the seat next to Emily Fields." Mrs. Montgomery said pointing to her.
Jacob looked in her direction and walked over to the seat next to her. He put his backpack down and took his seat. Jacob sat with his head propped up with one of his arms barley listening to the teacher talk. Emily looked at him and saw that he had black hair and green eyes. She thought he was cute and turned her head away when he looked at her. He noticed her long tan legs and her long black hair and turned to the front.
When class was over everyone got up to leave. Jacob was gathering his things when Noel walked up.
"Hey new guy." He said in a condescending tone.
"What." Jacob said turning to face him.
"Word on the street is that you can't get in anymore trouble or this might be your last stop before going to juvie." Said Noel smirking.
"Why don't you back off all right my life isn't any of your business." Jacob said walking away.
Jacob walked into the cafeteria and was greeted with stares. He looked annoyed and walked outside. Emily, Spencer, Aria, and Hanna were sitting at the picnic table when they noticed him walk by.
"What is his deal why did he look so annoyed?" Hanna asked.
"He was annoyed because people kept staring at him." Aria said
Emily looked at him and saw him sitting under a tree with his headphones in his ears and his eyes closed.
"Hey guys did you guys check out the new guy, he's pretty hot but mysterious and scary." Mona said walking up to them.
"Yeah we saw him Mona." Spencer said
"You guys should talk to him." She replied and walked away.
"Yeah I'm not talking to him he scares me." Hanna said
"Give him a chance guys." Emily said standing up and started walking toward him. She stopped in front of him and waited.
Jacob could feel someone standing in front of him and opened his eyes. He saw the girl from his English class and studied her. He noticed how her body curved gracefully in her jeans and how beautiful her eyes look.
"Hi your Jacob right?" she asked shyly
"Yeah." He said and looked at his iPod touch.
"My name's Emily what song are you listening to." She said.
"A song that one of my favorite bands wrote." He said coldly.
"What song?" she asked.
Jacob was really starting to get annoyed he didn't want to be bothered. He stood to his feet.
"You know I would love to continue this conversation but I gotta go." He said and walked away.
Emily turned around and walked back to her friends with confusion written on her face.
