This is my first story for Twilight, I don't own anything. Only the OC's in this fic. Thanks! Hope you like it!

"Can anyone tell me what the definition of Coulomb's law is?" Mrs. Wither's question, as usual, was met with silence. Her mud brown eyes narrowed, "Oh, come on guys. Don't make me start calling on people. You know I hate doing that".

Actually that was debatable. Personally, I think she enjoys watching us squirm. You can see it in the gleam in her eye and the smirk she gives when she picks on a student who obviously doesn't know the answer. Plus she always asks questions about future chapters so unless you read ahead, which I tend to do, you wouldn't know the answer.

Mrs. Wither's eyes start scanning the room of the 20 or so students, looking for her next victim.

My body stiffens automatically as her eyes roam over me. Please don't pick me, please don't pick me, please don't pick me. Just like everyone else, I hate being called on during class. Not because I don't know the answers, I usually do, I just hate being the center of attention. Even if it is only for a couple seconds.

"Mr. Dowel," I let out the breath I was holding and glance over at the boy in question. "Could you please tell the class the definition?" she asks with a quirk of her eyebrow.

The poor boys eyes were wide, his mouth gaping, "Uh… I um… don't know Mrs. Wither." I looked back at her, her hands were on her hips and her mouth was set in the usual smirk. Oddly pleased that another one of us didn't know the answer to one of her questions. I shook my head and looked out of the window next to me. It actually looks pretty nice out, maybe Jake and I could go to the beach instead of work in the garage again. The rabbit could wait another day.

A nasally voice broke though my daydreaming, "No, Ms. Carrow, that is incorrect." I rolled my eyes.

Yeah its official, she loves embarrassing the shit out of us. What a bitc- "Ms. Evergreen," I closed my eyes briefly. Fuck me.. "How about you, do you know the answer?"

I could feel all of their eyes on me, I really need to get over my fear of speaking in front of people. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly as I turned to look at her. "Yes, Mrs. Wither, I do." Her eyebrows raised a bit, surprised, silently telling me to continue. "Coulomb's law describes the force interacting between static electrically charged particles." As soon as I saw her nod and continue on with her lesson, I turned to face the window again, purposefully tilting my head so that my hair would fall to cover my face.

Soon after, the bell rang releasing us from class. I gathered my books and started to walk towards my locker. The hallway was loud and crowded as always, since this was the only high school on the rez everyone had to come to this school that was of age and they clearly didn't make it big enough to fit all of us.

Over the buzz of the crowd I heard a familiar voice, "Hey, excuse me. Lady coming though!" I smiled to myself, my day always got better when Olivia was in it, "Oh, don't give me that look. You were standing in the middle of the hallway. Don't be too surprised that someone actually told you to move." Laughing lightly I closed my locker and turned around to greet my best friend. As usual, she looked perfect. Her long black hair was flowing behind her making it look like someone had a fan in front of her like they do for photo shoots. Her full lips parted when they saw me, forming into a smile, her perfect teeth glowed against her copper skin. She was the definition of beauty.

"Hey babe," she greeted, "ready for lunch?"

I smiled at my friend, "Of course, Gran made us lunch again." I said, dangling three sack lunches in front of her. She absolutely loved my grandmas cooking, she's even went as far as saying she would kill for it.

Olivia groaned in pleasure, "Honestly, Alex, your grandma is a saint," she snatched one of the offered bags and peeked inside. Her dark eyes widened, she smiled and muttered something along the lines of, 'bless that woman', before she reached out to grab my free hand, dragging me towards the cafeteria.

She looped her arm through mine and began filling the silence with mindless chatter. She then told me about Justin, who asked her out, again. Apparently he won't leave her alone, he's been bugging her about going out with him for nearly a month now.

I frowned, "We'll talk to the guys and see if they'll get on his case about it. I mean, I'm sure they will, this has been going on for too long and he's creepy."

She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, tell me about it. Buuuut speaking of the guys," she untangled her arm from mine and turned so she was walking backwards in front of me, then stopped and fixed her gaze on me. She was smirking. Oh no. Here we go.

I groaned, "Please Liv, not today."

She mimicked me in a voice that definitely didn't sound anything like mine, "Please Liv, not today." I narrowed my eyes, "Yes, today Alex. I'm going to keep bugging you about this until you tell him. I'm not gonna sit around and watch you give him the eyes any longer."

I grimaced, "Alright, I do not give him 'the eyes', that just sounds gross."

"Yeah, well, imagine seeing you give Jacob the eyes everyday in lunch. Its distracting. I actually want to enjoy the enchiladas Gran made today. Thanks."

"Gran made enchiladas?!" I didn't check to see what she made today, Jake was gonna be so happy. Enchiladas are his favorite, especially the ones my grandma makes.

"Yes she did. Don't change the subject."

I sighed, "Look, its probably just a phase Liv. He's my best friend I can't like him, I need to get over it. I'm not going to ruin our friendship over something stupid. He matters too much to me. Alright?"

She stared at me for a few seconds, "Alright. But just so you know, I give your future relationship my official stamp of approval. I'm actually rooting for it."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah yeah, whatever, lets get to lunch. Jake will kill me if he doesn't get his food soon."

We walked into the cafeteria and headed for our usual table. All of the guys were there, Quil, Embry and Luke were yelling about girls. As usual. But Jake was looking around the cafeteria, his eyes narrowed and his fingers were thrumming on the table impatiently. Damn is that boy impatient when it comes to food these days.

When his eyes finally meet mine a small smile forms on his lips, "Lex! Where the hell have you been!" He looks down at the bags in my hands and he beams at me, his signature Jacob smile. "I mean, I guess I can forgive you if that second bag is for me." He says as he reaches for the bag.

I laugh as I hand it to him, "Shut it, Jake, you know Gran wouldn't forget about you." I sit down next to him and Olivia sits in the open seat next to me. She tares through her bag as soon as she sits down. Not bothering to greet anyone, she always puts her food first. I watch Jake out of the corner of my eye as he peers into the bag.

He stares at the food for a moment, a smile beginning to take over his face. I barely hear the muttered 'man, I love that woman', before he is shoveling the enchiladas in his mouth. I smile to myself and slowly start to eat my lunch as well, listening to Quil try to convince Luke and Embry that Amber Heard is the hottest girl in school.

"Sho Wexi, what took ou sho wong?" Jake asked over a mouthful of food. I looked over at him and blushed slightly, knowing that we got held up talking about my should be nonexistent crush on my best friend of ten years.

"Uhh… nothing." I could feel my blush deepening as he raised his eyebrow. "We were just talking." I said, looking down in an attempt to hide my pink cheeks.

"We were actually discussing how you don't breathe anymore when you eat," Olivia said, looking around at the table of boys, "If you want to call what you guys do eating. It's more like inhaling." From across the table Embry stuck his tongue out at her.

Jacob glared at her as he swallowed his food, "Yeah. See this is why I asked Lexi what you two were doing. Unlike you, she's nice."

"Hey, I'm nice! I just happen to also be brutally honest," she turned to Embry, Quil and Luke, "and if you ever want to go on a date with whoever you all end up agreeing on, you need to be able to eat like a civilized human being."

Luke barked out a laugh, "Who said we wanted to date her?" My eyebrows shot up at his response. What a prick.

Quil shot him a look and punched him on the arm. "You're an idiot, dude."

"Wow, okay. Anyway," Olivia looked over at me, a slow smile taking over her face, "Speaking of being brutally honest, if you must know what we were talking about, I was just talking to her about the guy she likes."

Three heads swung in my direction. I groaned, put my head in my hands and massaged my temples. As much as I loved Jacob, Embry and Quil, they always freaked out whenever I liked someone or if they heard that someone was interested in me. We all basically grew up together so they were pretty protective. When I moved here ten years ago from the Makah Reservation, my father and Billy quickly became friends. So whenever they would get together for a game or to go fishing, Jake and I would hangout too. At first Papa would try to get me to hangout with Becca and Rachel, but that didn't last long at all. I wasn't into the whole dress up, put makeup on and talk about boys thing; and that made me uncool to them. But what I did like was finding out how much stuff I could get into before I got in trouble, and that made me really cool to Jacob.

We would usually explore the woods by his house and see who could climb the trees the highest. Or we would go to the beach, play around in the water, bury each other or even have sand-ball fights. But our favorite activity was playing pranks on his sisters. I was nine when I met Quil and Embry, Jacob was ten. He brought them over to his house one day after school and told me they had a few ideas for some new pranks, we all instantly became best friends.

But right now my three best friends wouldn't stop bombarding me with questions. I turned my head slightly to glare at Olivia who just smiled sweetly at me in response.

Quil was all business, "Come on Alex, who is it?" I just shook my head. Keeping quiet was my best bet right now.

"Lexi," Jacob poked my arm a few times, "you know we're gonna get you to spill eventually, you might as well just tell us now."

"Just don't tell me he's a pale face, we don't need another one of those arou- Ow!" Embry sat a few seats away from me rubbing his arm with a wounded look on his face and Jacob was glaring back at him.

Perfect distraction. "So when is Bella going to come get the bikes, Jake?"

He immediately perked up at the sound of her name, my 'love life' forgotten.

"I can't believe I forgot to tell you! She's coming tonight, actually she doesn't even know they're done yet. Thanks for that by the way, I wouldn't have finished them as fast without your help."

I put a smile on my face that I hoped looked real, "No problem, Jake. Before I go over after school I'll run to my house and get my helmet for her, she hurts herself enough walking on a straight path I can't imagine what she's gonna be like on a bike."

The bell rang as he shook his head and chuckled lightly, "You're right, I'm gonna have to be extra careful with her." He got up and kissed the top of my head before walking away, "I'll see you at home, Lex."

Quil walked towards me, "You may have gotten him to forget-"

"Great distraction by the way," Embry came up behind him and winked at me.

"-but were still on your case." he ruffled my hair as he passed, I batted his hand away and glared at his back as I began trying to fix my straight hair. Embry caught my eye gave me the 'I'm watching you' hand motion a couple times before he decided I got the point.

Once they were gone I turned to glare at Olivia, "You're an ass for that."

She stood and looked down at me with a sad smile, "And you're an idiot if you thought I was just gonna let it go without trying."

I got up and rolled my eyes, I guess she's right about that. "Yeah, well now that you got me into this mess, you're gonna help me." We started to make our way towards our next class, we only had one left to go and it was gym.

I heard her sigh next to me, "Alright, what do you want me to do."

"We need to think of a guy that I can tell the guys about," she gave me an exasperated look and she opened her mouth to object, "No, I'm not telling Jacob that it's him." Olivia frowned as I pointed at her, "Your plan failed. By the end of class give me a list of guys that you think they would be okay with. Capiche?"

She glared at me, "Capiche."

"Renn Vechten."

Ew. "He smells like mothballs."

She hummed in agreement, "Vic Paye?"

I thought about him for a moment, he had that tall, dark and handsome thing going for him and he was nice enough. I guess he could work, "Maybe, next?"

"Joe Rowlett?"

I shook my head, grabbing my book-bag out of my locker, "I put nair in his shampoo a few years ago at camp, he still hates me."

A giggle burst out of her, "Only you, Alex, only you."

I smiled, the guys may have gotten me too into pranks a few years ago. "He refused to put on his cap during the swim meets and his hair was too long. He always lost us points for it and I decided he needed to be put in his place."

She laughed loudly at that, "By making him bald?!" I laughed with her and shrugged. "Man, I feel bad for any guy who messes with you."

"So do I."

We both turned at the sound of Jacobs voice, he was walking towards us with his backpack slung over one broad shoulder and an easy smile on his lips. My heart fluttered and the corners of my lips turned up automatically at the sight of him.

"I'd make their life a living hell." Jacob said as he rested his arm on my shoulders. Jake and I have always had a pretty touchy relationship. It was nothing weird, it just involved some hand holding or an occasional arm on the shoulder. We were both just comforted by each others touch, always have been.

I snorted, "And you don't think I would? Contrary to popular belief, I can take care of myself."

He smiled looking down at me and squeezed my shoulder, "Trust me, I know you can. It would mostly be for my own personal reasons."

Pleased with his answer I smiled back, "Good. But what are you doing here? I thought you were meeting Bella right after school."

He shrugged removing his arm from my shoulder and adjusting his book bag, "She texted me and told me she would be over around four thirty. So I've decided to go home with you, I need to thank Gran for lunch anyway."

"Sounds good to me," I took his hand in mine and waved to Olivia, "I'll see you Monday, Liv."
