Sitting behind Jacob

Period 2: Loveliness of Jacob Black

I don't know why but,Jacob seems to be in a good mood everyday.When he noticed me staring at lunch today he smiled and waved.I immediately looked away and tried to focus on the note cards displayed in front of me.I grabbed a carrot stick from my container and chewed on it thoughtfully.My eyes wandered back over to the table across the lunch room.He was talk avidly with his hands and his friend,Quil had sly smile on his face.

What in the world was wrong with Jacob today?

I continued to watch them closely,their expressions,hoping to understand what they might be talking about.Quil was now talking that sly smile still on,it was only after a few seconds did Jacob spewed chocolate milk over them and their lunches.He rose from the table and glared at Quil before he went to get napkins.The boy left at the table was laughing so hard,it didn't look like he mind being covered in chocolate milk that had happened to come out of his friend's mouth.

Because my table was neat to the table presenting plastic ware and napkins I shoved as many carrot and celery sticks in my mouth to keep me busy.He was grunting under his breathe,'the nerve,she only sees me some kid I bet..', or something like that.I tilted my head and watched him try to soak up the milk up from his shirt.If I looked hard enough I could see through the patches.I was at the moment drinking a bit of cranberry juice and,just at the sight,it went down the wrong tube.

I was sputtering.The hand pounding on my back was very much appreciates.I gulped in air and wiped away tears forming at my eyes."You alright?",I nodded,I turn to thank the person and was horrified to see Jacob Black hovering over me looking concerned.I'm not sure how it happened but I picked up my bottle of juice and threw it in his face.

Yeah,he startled me that much.

"Ah...",I stared down at my hand clutching the bottle then up at the dripping Jacob,his hair pressed flat against his face."Reflexes?",the tables around began to whisper.

'What did Jacob do to Bookworm?'

'I never seen her so aggressive...wow.She's going to tear him up!'

'Thats going stain!'

Aggressive?Dose this face truly look capable of any negative expression,besides sadness?Jacob stood there for a moment before he busted out laughing.What?!I almost jumped out of my skin!I never felt this kind of fear before...

What in the world is wrong with Jacob Black?!

"Must be some kind of magnetic force.",He took my napkins and began to wipe himself.He even snagged a couple of my carrot sticks and chopped on them.I unconsciously pushed my container away from him.

"Nice!",it was Quil with a grin with too many teeth.He nodded and held out his fist to me.I wasn't sure what he wanted from me,I stared at his out stretched fist noticing how it was kinda in my bubble."Err...?",the two laughed seeing my confusion.

Jacob picked up on of my arms and I panicked."W-what are...you..?" "You're supposed to bump fists.",he explained,curling my fingers and knocking my fist against Quil's.I think I've might have witnessed this ritual somewhere on tv,perhaps on MTV,when ever some rocker or gangster met another friend they did this,or when they do something they find cool or something.I hope to fully understand this concept in the future.

"You got him good!Whoa,Jacob you need to go take a shower,you are going to get sticky!",Quil wrinkled his nose and sat down at my table.Might I add,without permission.It really peeved me but I couldn't say go away,you can't sit here,can I?I watch Quil devour on two celery sticks and Jacob followed his lead.

Their presence really made me feel as if I was sitting at a table surrounded by aliens.Eating my food.They finish the vegetables quickly and were looking in my lunch box.Hello?Uh,what happened to manners?To their obvious disappointment it was empty,Jacob looked up and noticed me gathering my books,"Where are you going?"

"6th period.We leave for next class in five minutes,I must prepare.",I snatched my lunch box from Quil's hands and collected my trash and the container.This feeling of emotion shook my voice.The boys picked up my emotions immediately.

"...Thanks for sharing your food?",Quil tried and I stared at him before I pull my glasses off and place them in my shirts breast pocket.My bangs were covering my face.

"Share?I hadn't offered.See you next period,Black.",I glided out of the lunch room and when I was out of site I collapsed my face stricken with horror.I didn't say that did I?!

I was going to have a heart attack.In front of all those people?!Dear god what have I done?How embarrassing!!!I sat on the tile floor for a minute before I collected myself and went to prepare for next class.I quickly placed my glasses back on when I heard the sound of footsteps and somehow managed to hide around the eave of a classroom.

"I guess we are to blame.",I knew those voices enough to know I was going to stay hidden.

"Nah,my fault completely.I was testing her too much."

"Maybe I should buy her lunch Monday..."

The talking Ceased and so did the footsteps.The clicking sound of a locker opening and the shuffling of papers.

"So what were you doing this weekend?"

He slammed the locker close and I could hear the grin in his voice,Jacob's voice,"I'm going to the movies with Bella."

Quil snickered,"You're head over heels for her!"

Bella?I thought carefully,the name was very familiar.Was it from one of my classes?And Jacob likes her?I didn't feel that bad,because I knew our relationship wouldn't have worked out anyway...I must know who this Bella is though.I want to see how badly I lost out to;my motivation to try harder.

"Shut up"

"Make me!"

I peeked around the wall and watched Jacob raise his fist to Quil but then dropped it.He sighed,"It would hardly be as entertaining without someone to witness...",Quil nodded slowly,rubbing his forehead,"Embry...",they were just standing there,feelings unspoken and it felt too personal to watch,I shrank back and waited for the bell.

It only occurred to me that Embry hasn't been to school for a while.Pneumonia,I think I've heard from my mother a bit ago,who is close friend's with Embry's mother.The boys acted like they lost their best friend,I couldn't understand.He was going to come back and all.They could visit him.I could tell I was going to have to look into this as well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey,Mary.",I looked up from my book and up at Jacob who was sitting side ways in his seat."Sorry, 'bout lunch.Lunch on me Monday?"

I looked around and glanced at the substitute teacher who was having trouble explaining something to a student across the room."Me?Mary?",I asked adjusting my glasses.

"Well I wouldn't say you're Mary,especially since you always drag your self around school and hark over grades.",he grinned and I looked back down at my book.

"Oh,don't be that way Marion.",he chuckled softly.

I look back up and raised an eyebrow,"Oh you were talking to me,Black?"

"Lunch.Monday.My treat?",he broke down every syllable and I replied with a tiny smile.

"Sounds good.Anything I want?",I had to be sure that I wasn't just getting jilt out of dessert too.

"Anything you want."

We were both silent and I wondered who would be the first to brake the silence.I crossed my ankles and played with the edge of the book.For a moment as I was replaying the conversation back in my head,it almost sounded like...like maybe I was being asked out on a date!I turned to look at my closest neighbor who had witnessed the whole thing with their very eyes.

She looked wide eye'd and was scribbling something on a scrap of note and passing it behind her.Oh yeah,so it wasn't just my imagination either.I licked my lips,"I'm sorry,Black."

He looked up,"What?You won't let me buy you lunch?",he frowned.

I shook my head,"No I mean,I'm sorry about splashing cranberry juice all over you.",I surveyed his new attire,a small white shit that was straining to fit - even if he's so skinny,he's just too tall!Jacob's hair was so frizzy from rinsing his hair out.It was rather comical.But I couldn't laugh at the moment.

He made a noise,"Psh!Nothing to worry about,I'll live."

I smiled,I was going to say something else until the sub took notice that we weren't working."Get to work you two.",He scolded,and we both looked away from each other and returned to the story of A Tale-Tell Heart.A story we've done so many years that I wished we could just tear the story out of all the texts so we wouldn't have to read it.Imagine that,me wanting to destroy school property.

A wad of paper landed on my desk and I opened it cautiously,as if some spider was going to jump out of it.

'Are you going out with Jacob?'

I wasn't sure who wrote it but I crumpled it up and dropped it on the floor.Another note appeared on my desk and I opened it.

'Are you going out with Jacob?'

The only difference in this note was that the hand writing was very girly,and there were too many 'omgs' to count.I dropped that one too.

A minute passed and a neatly folded paper football landed on my desk.I don't know why I didn't just drop it with the other notes but I just had a feeling,so I opened it.

'How come you keep calling me,Black?'

Jacob?I looked up and he tilted his head to the side a bit so he could look at me.I blushed,I picked up my pen and scrawled,'Idk,it's just a habit.Besides I don't have the right to call you Jacob.',I scanned the room finding the teacher reading a thick nameless book.I handed him the note.

Jacob's was shaking with laughter and I was afraid he was going to give us away.The bell rang and everyone turned in their worksheets and left quickly.I stood and Jacob was snickering behind his hand,"Don't have the right?Mary,I would prefer if you would call me Jacob or even Jake."

I was gathering my books and a slow smile formed,"Jacob...",it sounded like a foreign language on my lips.But thats ok,I'll get used to it.Imagine me actually calling him 'Jake' one day!

"Wasn't hard,was it?",he raised his eyebrows and he was being so irresistibly charming,my smile widen.

"Not at all."

The substitute was standing at the end of the row shifting through papers.Jacob's eyes met mine and I knew immediately that we wasted all of the period conversing and didn't even attempt the work sheet.

And for some odd reason,I didn't care.Besides,I can easily charm the substitute to allow us to finish this over the weekend.The power of being the Teacher's Pet.
