Hi! I'm doing my exams right now, but once this was in my head, I didn't want to let it go, and I really want to make a Jacob fan fic. Please read and review- it means a lot to me! xxx
The alarm sent me falling over the edge, crashing out of my bed to the solid ground and I groaned.
"Ugh. Stupid clock." Okay, I wasn't in my best mood, seeing as it was another school day. Actually, it wasn't. It was a brand new school day, at a brand new school, and I was tired.
Originally, I'm from Chicago, but since my Dad got relocated to Forks, we moved to the nearby reservation, La Push. So today was my first day at the High School.
I climbed off the ground after my head started to pound, and slammed my hand down on the snooze button, then switched off the alarm. I sighed, running my hands through my long, dark hair and hurried to the bathroom to get ready. I wanted to make a decent impression.
I got changed, applied a small amount of make-up, and went downstairs to make breakfast. Dad must have already left, as I realized the house was silent, and the kitchen smelt faintly of burnt toast. Typical.
I downed my breakfast with a glass of milk and grabbed some gum before my bag and made my way outside. It wasn't difficult to find the school, as I drove through the school ground and into an empty parking space. I breathed a sigh of relief. Can't go back now. I've never been shy or not confident, so hopefully this will help me, rather than get me into trouble like last time. I climbed out of the car and glanced around. Nobody had really noticed my presence just yet, which stopped altogether when I shut the door and started walking to the main building. I ignored any curious eyes and went to what I assumed was the reception. There was a guy in front of a desk, speaking briefly to the receptionist, so I decided to remain quiet until they stopped.
"Thanks a lot. Er-" The guy turned around and I found myself in a staring contest with a certain brown eyed boy. I waited until he blinked in surprize, and he gave me a small smile. I smiled back and noticed the receptionist leaning to the side to get a glimpse of me.
"Hello, dear. Jacob, you can go back to class now." Jacobs head jerked in her direction, and nodded, passing by me to disappear through the door I had just come from. My breath hitched, but I ignored it and walked forward.
"Hi, I'm the new student." I rested my arms on the counter and peered over the counter to see her shuffle some papers, nodding through her spectacles as she looked at her out dated computer screen.
"Ah, yes. Here- I have your map of the school grounds and your timetable. Don't lose them, now." She passed me a few sheets and I fiddled with the corner of a piece of paper while she began typing. "I suggest you go to your first class now?"
I stepped backward and scanned the sheets, flipping through. "Okay. Er- thank you." That woman made me feel as if I were talking to my Grandma. I felt like I were being judged constantly. I headed outside and looked around. The grounds were empty now.
First class was pretty much easy to find. And the subject itself was pretty much the same too. Math. Back in my old school, I was a Math nerd, but I didn't let that stop me from becoming high on the popularity scale. As I said, I was confident, and I also never let anyone get in my way. This led to consequences, however, with my mouth and attitude, and I hoped history didn't repeat itself. Funny, History was second lesson.
I knocked on the Math door, and opened it, folding up the sheets and unzipping my bag, sliding them in, besides a card that I had to give to every teacher today.
"Not a good start to the day, Miss Gates." The teacher shook his head as I inched my way to the front of the class to hand him my sheet. I heard a few giggles as I folded my arms, scanning the class. Tanned faces were what I saw, with a few pale faces dotted around. It wasn't a large class, but now had one more addition, a pale faced, compared to them. I noticed that boy I had bumped into earlier, at the back of the class, chatting to two other guys who were flanking him. My eyes narrowed. I'm not going to deal with those popular lads who thought they were everything. His eyes met mine, and I looked away immediately, directing my gaze to his friend, whose lips were moving quickly, making my think he was talking to Jacob. I turned my head to the teacher, who was writing something on the card, and he then pointed me in the direction of the two empty seats in the class. One was right at the back, next to Jacob's 'crew', or a row in front, but still quite close. I chose the latter, and flung my bag on the table, collapsing in the seat as I fiddled in my bag for my things. I got out my notebook and flicked through, landing on an empty page, and began to make notes, even though I knew what we were doing. Eventually I got bored, so flicked to the back of the book, and got out a pencil and began making additions to what was on the back pages. Drawings. Faces, mostly, but I just loved to draw. My hands fidgeted if they weren't drawing when I was bored, and on most of my work, there were little doodles where the lesson just got too boring. Right now, I was starting to draw freehand, and I was going for a pet, some dog...but it made itself out to be a wolf. I don't control what my pencil does.
I must have lost track of time, as soon I saw everyone else were packing their bags. I went to close my pencil case, putting it in my bag, and then picked up my 'sketch' book.
"That's a nice drawing." A voice interrupted my thoughts, and I turned around surprised to see Jacob. "Hi, I'm Jacob, Jacob Black. But call me Jake." He stuck out his hand and smirked at me, glancing at my book again. I closed it and shoved it in my bag.
"Hi. Nice to meet you." I shook his hand cautiously, and let go. I didn't give him my name on purpose. He seemed to notice.
"And you are?" he gestured to me, and I glanced around awkwardly.
"You'll find out. Er- I have to get to my next class." I slung my bag over my shoulder and slipped past him, backing away.
He frowned, but piped up. "What class have you got?"
"Er...History."
His eyes brightened. "Same. Walk with me." I backed away further, and looked behind him to spot his friends.
"You're friends, are waiting." I paused. "I'm good." I turned around and fled. I got so panicked that I had no idea where I was going, and ended up in an empty corridor, stunned.
I swore under my breath, and a shout made me spin around in my spot, as if I were glued to the ground, unable to step forward. Jacob.
"What are you doing? Do you have any idea where History is?" Jacob chuckled, walking over to me, and I bit my lip. His eyes followed them. "I...I saw you head in the wrong direction." He stopped in front of me, and I had to look up to answer him, he was so tall.
"Well, I kind of figured I wasn't in History." I gestured to the hallway, and Jacob's lips curved into a smile.
"I told you I should walk you there." He muttered and grabbed my hand, pulling me back where he came from. What was he doing? Holding my hand? I let my hand slip out of his hand, and it flopped back against my side. We walked in awkward silence for a few seconds, and Jacob sighed.
"So...do you want to sit with our group at lunch?" He leaned towards me, and I shrugged, thinking it over. I haven't really met anyone, and I don't want to stick out too much...
"Um...OK." That answer seemed to please him as he bounced in his steps. I smirked, looking down. His hand was itching towards mine, so I slowed down. "Where are we going?" I changed topic quickly.
"Er...History? Where do you think we're going?" his face was all smiley and stuff! I looked around for an escape.
"Er...where's the ladies?" i bit my lip, and his face went blank.
"Um...here." We turned a corner and he pointed to a door. "Do you want me to wait?"
I stopped. "Er...I don't want you to be late." I made something up. "Point me in the right direction?"
He frowned. "Down the hall, second on your left." I nodded and pushed on the door, walking through.
5 minutes later, I walked into History, late again, and apologised. Annoyingly, this teacher gave me a threat!
"Next time, it's detention for you!" Lovely. My first day, and you're not making a good impression. I took a seat close to the back again, on the same row as Jacob, but a few tables away, so that was good. There was a girl sitting on the table next to me, who smiled warmly as I glanced over, and waved lightly. I sent her a tight smile as the class continued. Half way through, I felt a prodding on my arm and turned to face the girl, who passed me a folded piece of paper.
Hi. I'm Claire. You're new, right?
I scanned the paper and grabbed my pen, scrawling a message back to her, then passing it back.
Yeah. Nice to meet you.
It wasn't too long before the paper got back to me, and I warily looked at it, in case the teacher caught me red handed.
I could show you around, if you like. Tell you the ways around the student body. :)
I nodded, looking in her direction. She mouthed a response to me.
"Sit with us at lunch." She gave me the thumbs up, and then turned back to the front of the class.
The class took it's time, but soon the bell went and I stood up, ready for whatever class I had next. Claire smiled as she waited for me to catch up with her.
"Hi, I'm Claire." She had a soft voice, and her eyes shone with amusement. "You liking the school yet? La Push is amazing, I think. Especially the beaches- I'll take you there one time. It's a great place to just...think, and also hang out. I've got a large group of friends, so it won't be hard to fit in." She paused at my next class, seeing as she wasn't in it. "Sit next to Kim, she's in your class. She's lovely."
Lunch arrived, and I walked with Kim to the hall. She was actually what Claire described her to be. Lovely. A lovely person, with a lovely heart. She was dating one of the guys on their football team, and she told me he was amazing. I genuinely was happy for them, even though I had known them for only a few hours. I had told Jacob I'd sit with his lot, but I'd rather sit with Kim and Claire.
The lunch hall wasn't overflowing just yet, and Kim led us to a large table where only 4 people sat. I saw Claire, who jumped up to meet us, and there were also 3 guys.
"Hey! You came!" Claire hugged us and I took a seat next to her. The three guys waved sheepishly. "Hey- um...we never caught your name, had we?"
I bit my lip. I hadn't told anyone. "It's Brooklyn." (A/N- I know nobody of that name, but it's a really nice name, so there you go ;) )
"Hi Brooklyn. Can we call you Brook or something?" One of the guys said, and I shrugged.
"Sure."
"Er- that's Embry." Embry had russet coloured skin, like the rest of them, with dark, thick black hair that flopped over one eye slightly. He grinned and waved. "Jared." Like all of the guys on the table, Jared was really...beefy, and was cuddling up to Kim, so I assumed that was the 'amazing boyfriend' of Kims who was 'on the football team'. "And Quil." Quil had a wide smile, and I had to smile in response. "The rest aren't here yet."
"So, Brook, what accent is that?" Quil piped up, and I leaned on the back of my chair.
"I'm from Chicago." I smirked proudly. Jared 'ooh'ed and I giggled. "What is it with this weather? I heard it never shines."
Jared shrugged. "Sometimes. We've evolved to tolerate it. I'm telling you-" he shook his finger like my grandpa. "- in so many years time, when the world turns completely rainy and whatever, we will survive. Not them." The whole table laughed, and Claire looked up, smiling.
"There they are!" A couple holding hands wandered from the food counter to our table, and sat down. Wa sit me, or did they just pile on the amount of food on the plate? Was it for the whole table? "Brook, this is Sam and Emily." I looked up at them, and smiled.
"Hi. I'm Brooklyn." I waved, then pointed to the food. "Is that all for you two?"
It must have been some sort of inside joke, as the table laughed.
Emily smiled. "Well, most of it is, but someone's bound to take some." Just then, Embry swiped a chip of their plate, and shoved it in his mouth to make the point. Claire tutted.
"Is this it then?" I wondered out loud, and Claire turned her head in my direction.
"Not by far. This table doesn't even fit all of us on!" She giggled, and just then a bunch of lads burst through the doors. I saw one of them was Jacob, and I looked away. "Stupid boys. Always making a scene." This made me assume incorrectly, as I thought maybe Jacob wasn't from this group, but I was wrong. Up he came and sat dwon next to Embry, and he noticed me straight away, but didn't say anything. There were a few more guys who came over here, and one sat down next to me quickly.
"Hey new girl, I'm Seth." He was maybe a year or two younger than me, but slung his arm over my shoulder.
"Oh, get you." I joked, and he laughed loudly. "I'm Brook."
"Seth get off her." Claire slapped his hand away as he used the same hand to palm her face. He let go, laughing. "You don't want to freak her out so early in the day."
"We were thinking of going down to Em's after school. Is everyone in?"
The table chorused in agreement, and then they looked at me.
"Um... OK? I don't want to intrude..."
"No! That's fine! We'll take you there." Emily smiled. "The new additions. Seth already introduced himself, cheeky boy. Collin, Brady, Paul, a few girls haven't arrived yet- they're probably doing homework together at the library- and...Jake." I looked over at him, and his gaze was starting to make me uncomfortable, and I looked back to Emily, whose eyebrow was raised, and she turned to Jacob. There was a bit of an awkward silence, until Seth choked on his drink when Embry made a comment.
"Seth, how did your exam go?"
Seth wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Terrible. I fell asleep."
Normal chatter resumed, but Emily was in some form of silent conversation with Jacob. Luckily, everyone else kept me distracted with a bunch of questions about myself. I felt a little bit under the spotlight, but I knew it'll disappear soon enough. I got hungry halfway through lunch so I got a few bits and bops, and I was glad people were comfortable enough to nag some food. I ate quickly, so when I was stuffed, they were like my dustbin.
The day ended eventually, and I headed with Emily to the car, as she was going to direct me to hers. We got in quickly and set off. Just before we drove off, I saw Jacob and a dark haired girl climb onto a motorbike and take off, leaving me speechless.
