Okay, enjoy this next chapter! Pics on my homepage!


ZPOV

It has been two frustrating weeks since I promised Jacob that I would wait for his secret, and I'm about done waiting.

I mean seriously, how long does he think a girl should wait! I'm going out of my mind.

All he does is stare at me with googly eyes, and no matter how cute and adorable he is, it's starting to freak me out.

I'm not even going to get into how scared Sai is. She's just waiting for that Em boy to grab her, drag her into the woods, rape her, then kill her.

That's why I am not at school today on this drizzly Friday morning. Instead, I'm sitting on my bed, surrounded by all the stuffed animals I have acquired in my lifetime, which is at least two hundred, watching Dora the Explorer and eating Coco Puffs.

.ever.

Right now, little Dora and boots are trying to get to baby Jaguar, who is stuck on a mountain. She is trying to figure out how to get there, and is now asking me if I knew someone who knew how to get to the mountain.

Of course I did, but I'm not going to tell her. He he, I'm just going to let her squirm.

Damn, map just peaked his stupid head out of her backpack!

"Say map!" Dora yelled.

"Say map, say map!" Boots jumped up and down.

"Map!" I yelled with a mouth full of coco puffs. I spit some on my comforter, but I sure as hell wasn't going to clean it up.

"Louder!" Dora demanded, as if she didn't hear me the first time.

"Fucking map!" I screamed.

Bitch.

"Should I be worried that your yelling at your TV?" my mother said as she walked into my room.

"That bitch is acting like she didn't hear me the first time." I grumbled as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Which it is; Dora and I go through this every week, and it's really starting to piss me off.

"Okay." My mom drew out the word, "So, why aren't you at school today?" she sat on my bed and gave me a pointed look.

"I don't want to see Jacob today." I sniffed and ate another spoonful of my chocolate delight.

"Why? Has he said something to you?"

"No, but he keeps staring at me and it's getting weird. Sai's not feeling it either, she's at home too, since that Em boy won't stop staring at her too." I looked up just in time to see my mother's happy face, but she covered it quickly.

She knew why they were staring at us!

Interrogation time.

I flew off my bed, placed my bowl on the nightstand, grabbed a flashlight, while turning off my TV and closing all the blinds, making sure it was dark in my room, before shining the light in my mother's guilty face.

"You know what's going on here." I said as I narrowed my eyes, "Explain!"

"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about." She sniffed and turned her nose up. No way, Jose! I got that from her, and the only time we did that is when we are hiding something, but completely deny that we know, they know that we know what they don't know!

I hummed as I cut the flashlight on and off, making it seem like its flickering in a dark, scary room.

"I know that you know what I want to know." I whispered, narrowing my eyes even more, making her all blurry in my sight, but never the less, making me seem even more intimidating.

"If I knew what you want to know then I'd tell you what I knew, but since I don't know there is no need to know what neither of us don't know." She remained cool as a refrigerator.

"This is ridiculous!" I shouted and cut off the light before reversing everything I did to make the room dark in the first place. I grabbed my white stuffed bear that had a big, red floppy hat on her head and a red bow around her neck and walked away.

"Where are you going?" my mother asked as she followed me to the front door.

"I'm going to Sai's house!" I huffed and walked out towards my car.

"You're not going to change or put on any shoes?" she yelled from the front door.

"No! Me and Lady Puffington are out!" I shouted before flooring it out of the drive way and to my best friend's house, whom I'm sure wasn't feeling any better than me.

I parked in Sai's driveway, her parents already having gone to work, and grabbed Lady Puffington. I didn't bother knocking, knowing where they kept their hide-a-key, and yelled for her.

"Hey, Zakiya, I knew you'd come here." Sai smiled before it dropped into a frown, "This serious, you brought Lady Puffington." She said knowingly.

I huffed before plopping down onto the couch. "Of course this is serious! My family never kept secrets from me, then all of a sudden Jacob Black comes along, and it's 'make sure Zakiya doesn't find out!' all day every day." I grumbled.

"I'm sorry. You hungry?" she said, knowing food always made me happy again, but not this time. Not even my two husbands Ben and Jerry could get me out of this funk.

"No, thank you." I said before the room lapped into a silence, Sai in her thoughts, while I was in mine…and possibly hers, I wasn't yet sure how this Samurai thing went. "You wanna do something today?" I asked after a while. There's no use in wasting an impromptu three day weekend.

"Like what?" Sai asked, but looked like she wished she didn't when she saw a very mischievous smile creep onto my face.

Three hours later, I had highlighted some pieces of Sai's hair pink, blue, and green before corn rolling her entire head. She looked great! I couldn't help mentally patting myself on the back, but now that it's one in the afternoon, I was at a loss of what to do.

Bobby and Mimi still had two more hours until they got out and there was absolutely nothing to do.

"Okay." I clapped my hands before getting up and grabbing Lady Puffington, "Let's get dressed and we'll go pick up Bob and Mimi." I suggested. That should take up the rest of our time, seeing as we did all our girly talk while I was braiding Sai's hair.

She agreed and I left to get dressed. Thankfully, it stopped raining, and to my utter surprise, it was sunny outside and warm!

I quickly drove home to get ready. I brushed my teeth in the shower, not wanting to waste the time and possibly miss the sun.

I left my hair to its natural curls, and got dressed in my sunny clothes that my mom sews herself.

I decided to put on my ivory, floral print top that fringed and stopped at my belly button. There were slits in the sleeves for my shoulders to peek out of.

I put on some dark wash denim shorts and gold sandals before grabbing my sunglasses and keys. I drove like hell to Sai's house before going to the school with two minutes to spare. Sai and I leaned against the car and waited for our friends, who we were sure would be the last ones out.

We usually are every day.

Finally the bell rang. Without a moment to spare, the front doors burst open and out ran the barbarians, as if the teachers had been holding hot, scolding pokers to their throats all day, making them do their work.

God forbid they try and get an education.

Sai and I were laughing and talking, but that soon stopped when a hot body wrapped themselves around us, asking a million and one questions.

I began to beat on this person's chest to get them to move, surprised that it was none other than Jacob Black hovering over me. I ignored his questions and started to push that Em boy off of Sai, who was shaking with fear and pleading for me to get him off her with her eyes.

"Shut up, Jacob, and get your friend!" I screamed, my constant struggling to get him to move were unsuccessful. Thankfully, Jacob woke up and pried that idiot off Sai who immediately flew into my arms. I ushered her back into my car before rounding on said idiot!

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I screamed.

"I'm-I'm sorry, I was just so worried…!"

"So you bum rush her, and grab her without so much as a request and think it's alright? Are you stupid?" I continued to shout, interrupting Em-whoever's excuse, since I was a little too preoccupied being pissed off.

Bobby and Mimi chose that time to come up to us with questioning eyes, but I gave them no chance to speak.

"Get in the car!" I yelled. I walked over to my side before looking back at those oversized dogs, "You stay the hell away from us!" I demanding before peeling out of the parking lot, leaving two disparaged, thickheaded imbeciles in my wake.

Now, some of you may be thinking, 'that was a little mean to yell at Em-something-or-other like that', but let me give you a little bit more of Sai's history and just why she was so freaked out.

Bear with me people, I promise it won't take long.

You see, as I said before, Sai is the only foreigner in La Push. Well, she's the only teenage foreigner. When you add that and cruel kids together in middle school, you get bullying. Sai was always bullied by everyone except Bobby and I in middle school. There were a few that couldn't care less who she was, like Mimi, but the majority of the students got their kicks from torturing her. They would do all the cliché things you see on TV. They threw water balloons at her, filled her locker with gooey stuff, threw her in a trash can…you get my drift. Well, the worst thing that they had ever done was lock her in the dark gym where the football team was waiting to tackle her. In my life, I have never heard someone yell so loud, but I knew that it was her screaming, and I hauled ass out of my classroom and forced my way into the gym. On that day, I was suspended for three weeks, because I had kicked as much ass I could get my hands on. I broke a few bones, cracked a few ribs, and bruised a few bodies. I had never been more thankful that my parents made me do martial arts. Ever since that day, Sai has never let anyone but her parents, my friends and I's parents, and us three touch her.

And now you know why I almost went ape shit on Emily?...Emory?...Emmett?...Elmo?

Doesn't matter.

I held Sai's hand as she calmed down, sucking in deep breaths as I explained what happened to Bobby and Mimi. They too showed Sai how much they loved her as she tried to not hyperventilate in my car. She knew if she did, I would drag her ass to the hospital where a bunch of people she didn't know would be touching her, but I sure as hell wasn't going to let her die.

"Okay, I'm driving you home." I sighed. Such a beautiful day is going to be missed.

"No! I'm fine, I promise!"

I didn't quite believe her, but I gave up anyway, deciding that a nice, relaxing walk at first beach would help calm her nerves.

We hooked arms, and walked through the sand bare foot, the waves crashing against our feet and cooling us off.

"What are you going to do about Jacob and Embry?" Mimi asked. Oh, his name was Embry…I'll probably forget it later.

"Well, after I take you all home, I'm going to Jacob's house and kicking his ass." I smirked. The mental image of me doing just that slithered into my head, and I got a sick satisfaction out of de-balling Jacob.

My friends laughed at this idea before we went on to talk about everything and nothing in particular. That was the best thing about our friendship, no matter what we talked about, we could make a great conversation out of it.

All too soon the sun began to fade, and I drove my friends home, bidding them a farewell…more like a see you tomorrow, since we pretty much saw each other every day.

I then drove to Jacob's, slamming my door a little too hard and stomping on the ground to over exaggerate my coming. There were other cars parked around the little house, possibly indicating that they were having a little shin dig, but I couldn't seem to give a shit.

I knocked on Black's door and waited for someone to answer. Hopefully, it would be Jacob so I could knee him first and ask questions later, but to my utter disappointment it was his father Bob?...Brandon?...Bryce?...Trina?...whatever, who had answered the door with a curious face.

"Hello, Ms. Zakiya, may I help you?" Trina asked. I decided to go with that name, since it was my favorite out of the bunch and I could really care less what his name was.

"Hello, Mr. Black, I am here to de-ball your son." I said politely, as if I hadn't just spoke of getting rid of Jacob's baby makers.

From the inside, I could hear booming laughter, but I didn't have enough amusement in me to smile, though Trina seemed to be getting a big kick out of this.

He ushered me inside and to the living room where the La Push Gang was lounging around with big smiles on their faces. Jacob, however, was cupping his package and shaking his head slowly.

"Yo, Black, I have a bone to pick with you along with another to break off." I spat. That sent the gang into another bout of hysterics that only seemed to be pissing me off more.

Jacob swallowed, "I thought you said everything in the parking lot." He squeaked.

"No, I said everything to Emily?...Emmett?...Em-dog?...Em-him!" I pointed to the culprit whose eye's widened, "Now, it's your turn." I turned around and stalked out of the living room.

"Let's go!" I yelled over my shoulder and walked out, since I didn't hear his massive feet following behind me.

I leaned against his car and glared as he stared at me, "You wanna tell me what the hell you were thinking?" I said calmly, even though on the inside I was seething.

"I'm sorry, I was just so relieved to see that you were okay. I was so worried, because you weren't at school and when I saw you, I just had to hold you." He quickly explained, but that was total bullshit, he barely knew me!

"So, Trina taught you nothing?" I all but shouted.

Jacob quirked an eyebrow, "Who's Trina?"

"Your father! I couldn't think of his name, and Trina was the best one out of the bunch that I thought of." Immediately, howling and cackling could be heard from the inside of the house again. Someone must have said a joke, because it was impossible for them to hear us all the way out here.

Jacob started to shake as he tried fervently to keep a smile off his face, but he was losing quickly.

"So, you couldn't think of any male names?"

I sighed heavily, "One, I thought of many names, but Trina was the best, and two, this is completely beside the point. Neither you nor Emily had any right to grab onto Sai and me, and I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't do that again."

"Embry."

"Whatever!"

Jacob sighed as he slowly began to step towards me, his silky hair blowing lazily in the breeze, "I admit that what I did was wrong, but I can't promise you that I won't ever touch you again, Kiya." He said huskily as his 6'6'' body stood over me. I almost broke my neck trying to look him in the eye.

I sighed internally, it's hard out here for us fun sized people.

"Why?" I demanded. I didn't see why it was such a struggle! He's never touched me in his life, other than that one time a couple weeks ago when he put his hot hand on my waist in his garage.

It felt good…nuff said.

"I told you that you're going to have to wait." He sighed again.

"For how much longer, Black? It's already been two weeks! By the time you tell me, I'll probably be married to that very handsome British guy from Half Moon and making babies!" I huffed.

I was going to continue, but a dark look on Jacob's face made me stop as he began to shake and stepped away from me.

"Hey, Jacob, you okay? You're shaking." I said, actually putting my anger aside and becoming concerned.

Immediately, the La Push Gang was standing behind him, as Sasha, Sid, Sa-something, pulled him farther away from me. He gave me a quick look before turning to Jake.

"Calm, yourself, Jacob, before it's too late." Sasha, I decided to call him that, said in Quileute.

"There's no use in speaking Quileute, I speak it too." I sighed, deciding that if he wanted to talk to Jacob in private that wasn't the way to do it.

Sasha nodded and patted Jacob on the shoulder when he calmed down.

"Is that who you want?" Jacob asked as he looked at me with saddened eyes.

"Confuse me?" I asked. I was now, completely baffled.

"The British guy, is that who you want?" Jacob said gravely.

I sighed heavily before placing a hand on my hip and leaning onto one foot to show that I officially meant business.

"Are you kidding me right now? You are asking me if I want a gorgeous British man with the most adorable accent who doesn't even know I exist. What Half Moon fanatic doesn't want him?" I said. "What does that have to do with any of this anyway!"

I was officially frustrated. I wasn't getting any answers, and Jacob's sudden mood change has really thrown me for a loop. The only thing I could do was rub my temples, turn around and walk to my car.

"Where are you going?" Jacob asked as he walked up to me.

"I'm going home! You're not giving me anything but a headache, so I'm ready to pop a few Aleve in my mouth, eat some pizza, and chill for the rest of the night, because this is too much."

"Look, I'm sorry, but you've got to trust me on this. You're not ready, and I doubt I've been doing the right thing in this situation anyway." Jacob said as he began to rub my temples for me.

I shook off his hands and sighed. This second visit has still gotten me nowhere. All I want right now, is some Half Baked Ben and Jerry's ice cream and a Brad Pitt movie.

But no matter how frustrated I was getting, something in me told me to trust him, and though I was now beating that something with a rusty hammer, I decided to do just what it said, but not without some conditions.

I looked back up at Jacob and nodded, "Fine, you have until Thanksgiving to tell me what the hell is going on here, that's plenty of time."

"And if I don't." he furrowed his eyebrows.

"If you don't, then there's really no reason why we should even be talking to each other if you can't trust me in return." I said and got in my car. I backed out of his driveway and watched as everyone trickled back inside.

...Well, I watched Jacob.

...I mean, I watched Jacob's figure.

Starting from his feet to his legs that go all the way up to make an ass out of themselves.

And one fine ass that is.

I really hoped that Jacob would trust me by Thanksgiving. That's three months away, and if he couldn't…

Just thinking of not at least talking to him was making my heart hurt. How odd.

Not to mention my hands were getting pretty pissed, they really wanted to grab that ass.

I wasn't too talkative with my parents tonight. I was too busy trying to figure out what this big secret was.

I went to bed thinking of how interesting it would be if Jacob's secret was he was in the Native American Mob, he looked like it anyway.

It was now Saturday at midnight, and my friends and I were in the game room playing Guitar Hero! Since, I didn't see myself going anywhere, I was in a floral print, strapless romper, my hair tied back in a ponytail, and a slice of pepperoni pizza in my hand as I sung vocals on 'Don't Stop Believing'.

.

I was just about to sing the chorus when something hit me.

An epiphany, if you will, is what I had.

I suddenly realized something that had me sitting down the microphone and the half eaten slice of pizza.

"Zakiya, what's wrong?" Bobby asked as he paused the game.

"I just realized something you guys. I realize that there's something I want to be in my life that's not the norm. It's something off the beaten path." I whispered in astonishment.

"What?" Mimi asked.

"I want to be a fucking criminal." I revealed.

Of course I was met with silence. Who wouldn't be astonished at the fuck awesome idea I just had.

"…." Sai said.

"Guys, I have a craving right now! I have to do a B and E!"

People! For those who are confused, if you are saying 'Zakiya, what is that, bacon and eggs?'. The answer is no, although I could always do bacon and eggs, that's fucking delicious. Who doesn't want to do a bacon and egg special? I'm talking about a B and E.

Breaking and Entering.

"I need an accomplice! Bobby, you have to come with me!" I demanded.

The key is to bring someone who doesn't want to go. That person has to hassle you the whole time and make it difficult for you to do the B and E. Personally, I think it just makes it more challenging.

"What? No!"

"Come on, this will be an adventure!"

"I don't like adventures." He whined.

I sighed, "I need you to drive the getaway car for the B and E!"

"No!" he whimpered like a scared little school girl that I knew he liked to dress up as while he's watching porn.

"Dude, you go back to your house, put on some dark clothes, and come back or our fucking friendship is over! I will not even talk to you in the next life!"

It completely was not true, but I got my point across. An hour later, Bobby and I were dressed head to toe in all black, and getting into my car. Sai and Mimi had gone home, not wanting to be a part of this, but wanting to know every detail tomorrow.

"Drive around the community, I want to find the perfect house to do my B slash E!"

"Don't do," he breathed heavily, "Don't do this. Why would you even do this?" he pled.

"Because I need to." I looked at him sharply, "It's a quest, and I'm on it."

"You're gonna get in some," he moaned, "fucking trouble, dude." He said as he continued to whimper, feeding my excitement.

"I know, I'm looking for trouble." I mumbled as I scanned the houses. "Now, pull over around this corner."

...And then I finally saw it.

"That's the house right there, Bobby. That's the house I'm doing the B and E with." I smiled.

He looked at me and started to breathe heavily, filling the quiet night with his wheezes.

I looked at him, "I don't know what that means, but I'm still doing it." I said.

We drove away and parked farther away from the house, about seven blocks and crept through backyards, hopping over fences and shit, and reveling in the fun.

Well, I was reveling in the fun, Bobby was trying not to hyperventilate.

I hopped over another fence, but stopped when I heard Bobby breathing heavily and whimpering. I turned around to see that his shirt had gotten caught on the wire fence, making a big hole in the black, cottony material.

"No, this-this is my favorite shirt." He griped quietly, trying to release himself.

"Well, you shouldn't be wearing your favorite shirt on a fucking B and E! Wear you second favorite shirt, you dunce!" I whispered yelled and unhooked the shirt from the offending fence.

We finally arrived at the house, and I have to admit to you guys, my heart is beating frantically. My hands were clammy as I started to walk up that walkway, getting ready to go right through that fucking front door.

I turned around to Bobby, "You ready to do this?"

"Wait!" he whispered yelled as he held up a hand in front of him, his legs spread wide apart and his knees bent as he switched from the left one to the right, "Wait!" he flailed that same hand, "I hear a car."

I nodded my head slowly, "Yeah, the world is full of them. You're going to hear a lot of them for the rest of your life." I said frustrated for him stopping me, "If you hear a Humpback Whale, that's weird, tell me that shit! Then I'll stop." I said before turning around and creeping towards the house.

I walked up those three steps and stopped.

I don't know if I can do this.

No, I can do this! I yelled in my head and BAM, I kicked that fucking door off its hinges!

I was feeling so fantastic, but then something happened again. As soon as my foot connected with that door, and it flew open, I took two steps into that house and I realized at that very moment that I did not want to do a B and E.

No.

I just wanted to kick a door in!

I was still so hyped up from the door kick, there was a closet right to the left of me, and I kicked that shit in too!

I had to.

I turned to Bobby and smiled, my heart beating so fast that I had to take in deep breaths before I passed out.

"Hey, let's get out of here." I wheezed through my breaths.

"Yeah!" he whimpered in a raspy voice, his own breath coming out in wheezes, "Yes."

Then we cheesed it out of there, jumping into the car and booking it the fuck out.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groaned as I cut off my alarm clock.

"Ugh, what a weird dream." I moaned and got out of bed at six thirty Monday morning.

The weekend had gone by in a blur of pizza, games, movies, and homework.

I kept it simple, putting on a V-neck black and grey horizontal striped sweater blouse that was form fitting. I three on some grey skinny jeans, before putting on my black Knit-Cuff wedge boots.

I called my mom up to help me straighten my hair after brushing my teeth. It took longer than usual, though. I needed to get it trimmed, it was all the way to my ass when curly, but passed it when it was straight!

I clipped the sides of my hair back and let my bangs fall into my face. They were the only parts of my hair that I cut, and even doing that was painful.

Seeing that I had to leave in five minutes, I put on mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss, grabbed my keys and bag and ran out of the house. I floored it to school with my friends chatting away about nothing in particular.

I was talking to Mimi when a movement from the corner of my eye caught my attention. I turned to see Jacob Black and Emily walking towards us, in what it seems to be slow motion, but I think it was just my imagination. I mean, Jacob was beautiful, but could he really defy Newton's Law of Motion with his beauty?

Possibly.

Sai walked over to me and stood a little behind my shoulder. Knowing that she was scared caused me to look from Jacobs sexy, muscular body to glare at Emily, which pissed me off even more, because I was missing the chance to watch Jacob saunter towards me!

"Hey, Zakiya." Jacob smiled a little as he bit his bottom lip softly.

I quirked an eyebrow and nodded in his direction, playing it cool of course, before turning back to Emily.

"Can I talk to you, Sai? In private." he whispered as his eyes flickered to me.

She grabbed onto the back of my shirt and shook her head no.

Emily's face dropped even more, looking as if the world was crushing him where he stood, which almost made me feel sorry for him…almost.

"You can talk to her where you stand." I glared. Emily began to shake and growl as his eyes narrowed at me.

Jacob put a hand on Emily's shoulder, shaking him a little as if to wake him up.

"This is between me and Sai." He growled.

"It stopped being between you and Sai when you scared the shit out of her Friday!" I hissed.

As if I had slapped his across the face with a frying pan, Emily's angry façade crumbled, leaving only a lost little boy who seemed to just want the little red balloon that was tied to a chair and blowing in the breeze, but his mother kept telling him no.

I was the mama, and I'll be damned if he hurts my girl again.

That's right, Mama Bear don't play about her cubs.

"I didn't…I didn't mean to scare her, I was just worried." He said, his face falling even more as he began to turn around to walk away.

"Wait!" Sai squeaked out from behind me.

I looked at her, astonished as hell that she was about to talk to the man that almost made her have a conniption.

Emily turned back around, a little glimmer of hope shining in his eyes as he stared at my best friend.

It was a little cute.

"You can talk to me over there." She said, pointing to a spot that was only about three feet away from the car. We all would still be able to hear their conversation.

So I watched my little cub and Mr. Steroid Man walk over to the spot that she pointed to and talk in quiet whispers.

Jacob, on the other hand, had better ideas than me eavesdropping as he poked me a few times in my stomach.

"May I help you?" I asked and leaned against my car. I guess that was some invitation for him to do the same, because before I knew it, his fine ass was leaning against my door as well.

"I can't talk to a friend? We are friends, right?" I couldn't help but to stare into those deep brown eyes that held so much hope.

"Maybe, what's in it for me?" I smirked, deciding that if he was going to stick around, I might as well have some fun flirting with him.

Jacob smiled widely, his face shining with so much glee that it warmed my insides. He was like the sun or some other happy shit.

"My undying affection." He chuckled.

I smiled, "Ew, what would I want that for?"

He gasped dramatically and put a hand on his heart, "Are you saying you don't want my total adoration."

"Yes, that means you're going to be around much more than I like, and you might piss me off before those three months are up." I gave him a pointed look before turning to my friends, "By the way, these are my other best friends Bobby and Mimi. You want me as a friends, then you want them too."

My friends and I were a package deal.

Jacob shook both their hands and began a small conversation with Bobby. I don't know if he was trying to impress me or if he truly didn't mind that he was gay. Either way, he was making a good first impression.

Mimi dragged me to the side, giving me a chance to check up on Sai who was smiling a little and still talking to Emily, though there was still distance in between them.

Mimi punched my shoulder softly, bringing my attention back to her.

"Girl, Jacob is so cute, if you don't take him, I will!" she whispered with a smile. I chuckled softly and looked back towards his massive figure as he talked animatedly with Bobby about whatever.

"Even if that was true, I doubt either one of us will get a chance. He'll probably be in Diana's clutches and between her legs before we know it." I whispered back.

Strangely, Jacob's body tensed immediately. If he was angry about something, it didn't show, since he was still joking with Bobby.

Finally the bell rang, and everyone was ushered inside. Jacob didn't even say anything to me, he just walked away with a happy looking Emily, who looked like he was about to start singing the Sound of Music.

I shrugged it off. Whatever was bothering him couldn't have been something I did, since he talked to Bobby the rest of the time he was around us.

All the periods seemed to blur together like any other day. Before I knew it, I was sitting in math class, waiting for Jacob to come in.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Jacob Black, and all his glory, came into class and sat down next to me. Except, he didn't even say hi to me. For the past two weeks, I've been getting a 'hi' or a 'hey' or a 'how are you', but today…nothing.

He just sat there with that angry face again, which is weird, since he was smiling with his friends in the hallway, and I even saw him say 'hi' to Bobby as I walked to my second period this morning.

"Hey, are you okay?" I finally asked, but he didn't even acknowledge me. I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "If you think I'm about to put up with you petty bullshit, Jacob Black, you have another thing coming. So, you can either a) get over whatever I seemed to do to you, or b) don't bother talking to me again." I hissed and turned to the front, just when the teacher came in and started the lecture.

When the bell rang, I grabbed my stuff and stalked out of the room, completely pissed that he was treating me this way.

I don't know if he suddenly realized that I wasn't cool enough to be his friend or if he was having a male PMS moment, whichever excuse it was, I definitely was not going to deal with it. I may not be popular, but I sure as hell can see all the looks the guys give me in school and out! Jacob Black could kiss my tight, perfectly round ass, because there were plenty of other fish in the sea.

I was officially grumpy for the rest of the day, and my friends could sense that. Of course, they asked me what was wrong and all I said was 'Jacob Black's an asshole', and left it at that. When the final bell rang, I hauled ass out of the school, not letting anyone push me to the back, like I usually did, which surprised the hell out of a lot of them.

I threw my bag in the car, and sat there waiting for the rest to get in. To my utter surprise, I heard a tap on my window and turned to see Jacob looking with apologetic eyes. I locked my doors, and completely ignored him, wishing he would go away so I could stew in my anger, like beef in a pot.

"Please, open the door. I'm sorry, Zakiya, please!" he continued to beg, even when all of my friends were now in the car.

From the corner of my eye, I saw him lean his head against my window, his face towards the ground, but I could still see that his eyes were closed.

Jacob sighed, "I'm so sorry, Kiya."

Mimi awed as she punched my arm, "Talk to him!" she whisper yelled while glaring at me through the rearview mirror. I sighed and unlocked the doors, causing Jacob's head to fly up and him to smile as he watched me get out of the car.

"Kiya…" he whispered. Every time he called me that, he made me want to melt like chocolate on a hot sidewalk, but I was still mad at him.

"What was your problem?" I said, not even having the energy to yell at him. Him ignoring me really hurt my feelings, though if someone else had done it, I wouldn't give a shit.

He was turning me into a total marshmallow.

"You don't exactly whisper very well. I heard what you said about me and Diana." He said, a little bit of the anger creeping back into his eyes, but it was gone as fast as it came.

Oh, well, now I felt kind of bad.

"Crap, Jacob, I really didn't mean for you to hear that." I said.

"But you believe it." He sighed heavily and ran a hand through his long hair.

"Look, it's nothing personal, but you are considered popular, and every popular guy here has been acquainted with Diana's dangly bits." I tried to explain.

"It doesn't mean that I will. Plus, I don't even want to be popular, that's just stupid." He attempted to reassure me, but I could tell that he knew that I didn't believe one word out of his sexy mouth.

I watched in curiosity as he walked up to me and toward over my body, once more melting me with his eyes.

"I promise you, Zakiya Leilani Umo, that the only girl I'm trying to make mine is you."
