Story Summary: Jake just arrived at his new School and he is not really looking forward to arriving, until he meets a new student there. But what happens when Jake meets and falls for more than one student, and they just so happen to be best friends? And why does he feel like they are both hiding something from him? He is forced to make a choice to, but not without finding out who is the one he loves more.
Hey Guys, thanks a bunch to those who reviewed my first chapter of MY FIRST Fanfic! Really, it means a lot to me. This story is dedicated to one of my Best Friends Chibiboku! So in this chapter Emmett finally comes in to the story. Let's see how he and Jake bond a bit.
Chapter 2: WHAT?
Jake walked awkwardly to the desk where the librarians were to get one of them to sign his schedule. "Um, excuse me ma'am. I was told that I needed one of y'all to sign this." Jake said nervously.
"You must be Jacob Black. I'm Ms. Ross, I'm the head librarian. You can grab a book and take a seat, or just look around a bit." Ms. Ross said with a smile.
"I don't have to introduce myself?" Jake asked suspiciously.
"Hun, this is just a study hall, let's face facts, this isn't a class." Ms. Ross said with humor in her voice.
"Right, thanks." Jake said turning a little red from embarrassment. "I'm gonna go do one of those things then."
Ms. Ross then giggled while she handed the schedule back to Jake. Well that made me look like a total asshole. Jake wondered into the fiction section of the library, because let's face it, if Jake was going to fake reading a book, at least make it something that other people would believe he would at least open. Hey pulled a few titles down to flip through them. Frankenstein, too classic, Harry Potter, too many books for me, Breaking Dawn, hmm. Jake then starting to flip through it quickly, this looks pretty promis...OH MY FUCKING GOD, is that dude eating through that girls, WHA...? Why?. Okay, let's skip that one! Screw this, where's the damn comic section, or the magazines. Before Jake left, he found a novel about zombies that seemed promising enough. Only problem was that is was too high for Jake to reach. Dammit! Why am I cursed with my height God? Hell my half brother Seth who is only fourteen is taller than me! TWO FUCKIN' YEARS YOUNGER and he's like 4 inches taller! He has to get it from Sue's side, cuz even my step sister Leah is pretty tall. Like amazon warrior woman tall. Where the hell is that stupid climbing stool thing? I can't fuckin' climb the shelf...or could I? No! I always end up doing stupid shit.
While Jake was deep in his inner monologue and turned into the next aisle, he failed to see the stepping stool right next to his feet. It's weird that the dudes even on our hundred dollar bill in the first place, the dude wasn't president and what the hell is up with his... "Oh Shit!" Great, just fuckin' great. My first day and I'm about to make a complete ass of myself. Okay Jake, just pick yourself up and pretend to laugh, and hell, maybe no one even saw you. Aw who am I kidding, I only shouted loud enough for the whole damn library to hear! I'm doing a lot of talking...did I hit the fuckin' floor?
"Um... you know, you can open your eyes anytime. I mean, I don't mind holding you for a little while longer, it's cool and all, but you can at least make eye contact with me." said the person who caught Jake.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention, I was just spacing out on my stupid thoughts and I didn't mean to, shit did I hurt you? Well, I doubt it. You're like a freakin' statue. I mean, no, that's not what I meant either. Fuck! Um, what I mean to say is..." Just then the student holding Jake put his finger over Jake's mouth to silence him.
"Shh, it's okay. Really, no harm done." The other student then picked Jake up then straightened him out as if he weighed nothing. "There you go. Now, are YOU okay?" He asked Jake.
Jake then noticed that the other teenager was tall, very tall. Jake noticed this when he realized he was talking to the older guys pecs. "No, I'm fine. I just need to learn how to..." Jake then took the time to see his savior, so to speak. He had short black hair, very pale skin and was built like a Greek God. He had the most beautiful eyes Jake had ever seen. They were like a honey, topaz color, very beautiful. Wow Jake thought. Or at least he thought he said it to himself.
"Thank you, I tend to get that a lot. I'm not trying to be cocky, I'm just noticing a trend here." Laughed the older teenager. "Emmett Cullen." He said as he extended his hand to Jake.
"Jake Black." God his hands are cold, but they feel so good and they are pretty big. "Again thank you. You know it's weird, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything, but I'm pretty damn sure I was alone in this aisle. And the bookshelf's aren't exactly short, length or width wise." Jake stated.
"I don't get where you're going with this Jacob." Emmett said with an unconvincing look.
"Just Jake. How did you get to me so fast? I mean seriously, I went through like 4 aisles and all of them were vacant. I didn't even hear you running." Jake said confused.
"Well you were lost in your thoughts remember? Besides I only caught you before you hit the floor, it's not like I stopped a speeding vehicle from crushing you in the parking lot or anything." Emmett said.
"That is...very specific of you." Jake said with wide eyes. "What are you some kind of fortune teller or something?" Jake said jokingly.
"Huh me? Nah, that's my sister Alice's..." Emmett began.
"Emmett! Who's your new friend?" A light happy, yet worried sounding voice said while bumping Emmett interrupting him before he could finish his sentence.
Shit, that was a close one. No wonder my siblings think I'm half a retard. "Jake, this is my sister Alice."
Emmett's sister was very petite and had short hair that was styled very pixie like. She had the same pale skin and golden eyes as her brother. And her features were also as if God had sculpted her himself. She wore the oddest combination of clothing, with many layers, but it seemed to work for her.
"Hi Jake, it's so nice to meet you!" Alice said as she hugged Jake. "We don't get very many new students around here!"
Jake just laughed nervously and looked at Emmett with an alarmed expression.
"Okay sis, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Jake likes air!" Emmett said removing Alice from Jake. "Sorry about that, my sister can be...eccentric. To say the least." Emmett said laughing at Alice's expense.
"Oh whatever! I would rather be eccentric than a dimwit. How long did it take you to figure out that just because your football fit in your locker by turning it on it's side that it doesn't work for basketballs?" Alice shot at Emmett.
"Oh that was ONE time...I think. Either way, you were weirdening the kid out!" Emmett said as to change the focus to Alice's short comings.
Jake just looked on in amusement at the exchanges between the two siblings. "Um, really, it's okay Alice. I don't have any problems with showing people affection, even if I don't know them very well." Jake lied.
Emmett then pulled Alice aside and whispered and talked so fast that Jacob couldn't even see their mouths move or hear a thing. "Okay Jake, guess I'll be seeing you around. Well, I KNOW I will." Laughed Alice as she walked away gleefully.
"What was that all about?" Jake asked confused.
"Oh, nothing. Just Alice being Alice." Emmett said.
Jake then glared at Emmett. "No, I mean did you guys whisper or something? I didn't even hear little noises or anything."
"Do you always over observe and question everything?" Emmett said amused.
"Only shit that I find questionable. And trust me, a lot of questionable things just happened here." Jake explained.
"You're not gonna let this go are you?" Emmett asked almost defeated.
"No, not at all. So are you gonna explain to me, or are you just gonna bullshit me?" Jake said as if he was interrogating Emmett.
"Hate to burst your bubble little one, but you're not that intimidating." Emmett laughed. "I can assure you, nothing is going on."
"Fine, I'll just forget it. For now." Jake said. "So Emmett I take it from your sister's comment that you play football?" Jake asked trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, I'm one of the star players. One of the quarterbacks to be precise." Emmett said proudly.
So that's what Paul must have meant when he said that he too was also 'one' of the star players. I wonder if he knows Paul. Well how could he not, they are on the same team in a not so huge school. "That's really cool. I bet you must be really good. With your size I mean." Jake said blushing.
Emmett smiled and said. "Well I don't wanna brag, but my guns are pretty banging." Emmett then starting flexing his arms.
Oh dear Lord Jesus. Is he doing this on purpose? "Um, you certainly have impressive muscles." Jake said nervously.
"Ha, you should check these bad boys out!" Emmett then unzipped his gray hoodie and pulled up his white tee exposing an eight pack. Jake thought they looked hard enough to grate bricks into dusk. "You okay? Jake?"
"I'm sorry what?" Jake said as he snapped back into reality.
"Never mind." Emmett grinned. "So, Jake you do anything on your free time? Sports, music, the arts?"
"I paint. Oil paint actually. I was told that I have a gift. Granted I was told that by my mom, but she is an instructor so I'm hoping that puts credit to her words." Jake joked.
"I would love to see your work." Emmett added.
"I would like that." Whoa, major deja vu. Jake thought. I need to act more casual, I can't keep acting flustered after every guy talks to me. What is this town feeding their kids? Maybe this town IS like some kind of creepy cult place and that's why there are so many beautiful people. They probably sacrifice unsuspecting people to their God or whatever to stay beautiful.
"Uh, Jake you still there?" Emmett said waving his hand in front of Jake's haze. "Jake!" Emmett started snapping now.
"Oh... sorry. I tend to do that when I think about weird shit. I need to stop watching so many movies." Jake said.
"So you like movies do you? Well, what a coincidence, I like movies." Said Emmett with a grin.
"Yeah, I like action and horror movies. I do dabble in the occasional romance and comedy though." Said Jake.
"Well, why don't we go see a movie together. Just the two of us...this Saturday maybe?" Emmett said with a pleading look.
"Are... are you asking me on a date?" Jake said with questioning look and a blush.
"Well, I mean, it doesn't HAVE to be one, it could just be a simple, you know, 'friend' thing. Emmett said. "But a date would be cool too." Emmett quickly added.
"I will definitely give it a thought." Said Jake as the bell rang. "Well, guess I have to get to my next class then."
"Wait, I can take you, it's just down the hall." Emmett made a point to say.
"Sure, that would be cool." Jake smiled.
"You know you're different." Emmett said.
"How so?" Jake questioned.
"You didn't accept my date offer on the first try. That...never happens to me...ever. I like it!" Laughed Emmett.
"Well, I don't wanna come off as desperate now do I?" Jake said as he was entering his classroom.
"So eight o'clock Saturday?" Emmett said coming by the doorway.
"Emmett, I have the rest of the week to think it through." Jake said.
"Uh, Jake it's Thursday, and tomorrow's a holiday." Emmett said with a look of confusion on his face.
"Right... I knew that. I just forgot for a sec that I came in late in the week no big deal." Jake said embarrassed.
"Well, I'm gonna see you at lunch...soooo." Emmett added with hope in his voice.
"We could just exchange numbers you know, and I could call you if I accept." Jake said with a smile.
"Way ahead of you kiddo." Emmett then pulled out Jake's cell from his pocket and handed it to Jake. "I already put my number in."
"How the hell... are you some kind of magician?" Okay, Jake REALLY wanted to know more about Emmett.
"I kinda snagged it when I caught you. I knew we would become fast friends." Emmett replied.
"Oh, and how did you KNOW that? It could have been a disaster." Said Jake.
"Let's just say I have... my sources." Thank you Alice! Thought Emmett.
"Right...well see you at lunch. And I'll text you later, with my reply." Jake said.
X.
"Okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess this is the cafeteria. It's loud, theirs food and it's full of hungry teenagers." Jake said to himself as he wondered the cafeteria looking for familiar faces.
Paul was walking to the huge round table full of his friends, "Hey bitches! What's up?" Paul said as he greeted everyone at the table. If you wanted to meet a diverse group of people, then you would want to sit at this table. Eric was there of course, and so was his may be girlfriend Angela Weber, a cute brunette with thick rimmed glasses. She worked with Eric as the photographer in their journalism class.
"You know Paul, not everyone at this table finds it respectable to be called 'bitches'!" Jessica Stanley, who was not only the smartest, but the most uptight person at school, said with a straight face.
"I don't know, I think Paul's sense of humor is awesome." Mike Newton said as he and Paul pounded fists. Mike Newton also played football with Paul and Emmett, he had short blonde hair and blue eyes and unlike Paul and Emmett, wouldn't take his letterman off unless it was really hot, and since it was Forks, that was almost never.
"Oh, I know Mike. I was just kidding. Paul you are just hilarious, too...too funny...ha...for real. Bitches, haha! Where do you come up with this stuff?" Jessica said changing her point of view to impress Mike.
"Emmett my man!" Paul called out as Emmett jogged up to them. "Where is your Cullen Cult?" Joke Paul.
"They'll be inside in a few minutes, you know them, they always like to make an entrance." Emmett laughed.
"I always thought they entered rooms too slow!" Joked Paul.
Just then as Paul and Emmett were laughing, they noticed a certain boy with long dark hair looking around and both of them grinned. "Dude, I met someone amazing today!" Paul said with a smile.
"No way bro, me too. Perfection at it's best. Asked him on a date, but waiting for a reply." Emmett said.
"No way, someone actually didn't accept on the first try? I wanna meet your guy for sure!" said Paul in disbelief.
"Well, you won't have to wait long 'cause here he comes." Emmett said eyeing Jake across the cafeteria.
"Awesome, my little number is headed this way too." Paul grinned.
"JAKE!" both boys called out. "WHAT?" Emmett and Paul said in unison whiling staring at each other with wide eyes and open mouths.
