Awkward Phases

I blinked hard to believe what was going on. Was this a dream or had I been hallucinating in class today. Jacob stood in front of me being polite and, well he won't stop looking at me. I can seem to recall that had annoyed him earlier, now he acts like if all of this didn't even happen. Not going to lie, he was pretty good looking and boy was he big! Not fat big, but he was built and fit. I look down at myself and shook my head I was pretty short compared to him. I probably came up to his stomach.

"Jenna.. you okay?" his husky voice asked as his facial expression changed. I shook my head to snap myself out from thinking so hard and nod.

"Yeah I'm fine," I played a smile. He seemed to relax and just chuckled. The bell rang and the teacher, Mrs. Lily, called me up to the front room and told me to introduce myself with my name, where I moved from and something interesting about me. Everyone eyed with interest and nodded to everything I said. I could tell that fitting in wouldn't be hard. The only thing that would make me stick out is that my skin was a lighter copper then the rest. Being half Quileute does things to people.

I took my seat back towards beside Jacob and he waited for me eagerly. This was something I had to work on. The whole period, Jacob had shot questions about what I like and my hobbies. It was interesting for a first, just met basis. But I couldn't help but like the attention a little too much. The only thing that would suck is that I kept stuttering around him or my voice would barely come out. I'm not the most outgoing person out there. I told him how I liked to take pictures, or write in my spare time. I told him the reason I was staying with my aunt was because my parents had recently died in a animal attack when visiting her.

"So I'm guessing Seth and Leah are your cousins?" He asked really shocked.

"Yeah this was all of a sudden. Aunt Sue didn't even gave them a warning, I don't think she even got a fair warning herself. The social service people just brought me her and knocked on her door and said 'here is your sister's kid I mimicked

I felt completely open with Jacob. He seemed really willing to listen too. Then bell rang all too soon. I got up and looked at Jacob. Waving a bye at him. I walked away, couldn't help but to look as he gathered his things. I was stupid enough not to see where I was going and I bumped into someone. Knocking me to the ground

"Oh sorry," I muttered and looked downs. My eyes wandered to where my stuff was. I gathered my stuff, with the help from someone. I reached for my last book, so did the other hand. Our hands accidentally touching. The hand was burning in mines. Pretty unusual for someone. I looked up to see who it was and I locked eyes with no one but Jacob Black. We stared at each other for a moment in complete silence.

"Heres.. um heres your book," He said, not tearing his eyes away from me. I nodded and took it from him. " I'll see you," I couldn't help but leave the room. I looked at the hand that touched his, analyzing why his hand was so unusually warm. That was probably the most awkward part.

"Jenna wait!" I heard him call out. Which made me walk faster. I felt his warm hand grab my arm and turned me around to him. I looked up in his eyes and shook my head

. " Jake we are going to be late for our class," I begged and he let go of me. " I'll see you at lunch I guess. " Jacob turned around and nodded, walking to his class. I felt really bad, I didn't want to hurt him but I had a history for falling for a guy really hard, and I didn't want to freak Jacob out. I finally had a friend and it would be bad to do that. I walked into my French class and took a seat at the back. I didn't realize that the teacher was standing in front of me until I looked up. I handed him the slip that I was supposed to get signed.

This class, I could tell wasn't going to be fun. Neither were the rests of my classes. The only thing on my mind was how awkward and ridiculous I must have seem to Jacob. There he was, being nothing but friendly, but I took it the wrong way. The minutes went by like every decade. I just wanted to see Jacob and say sorry for acting the way I am. Maybe he doesn't want to see me again. Maybe I made the worst first impression.

Lunch bell rang and I was startled. I had also made other friends, but I didn't really seem to be paying attention since I was distracted by other things. At least I remember their names. Ashley, Colleen, and Quil. All of them were pretty okay, Quil was a strange one though. He kept smirking at me for some odd reason. I walked with Quil after History class too lunch. I had agreed to sit with Him and Colleen since they had this lunch period. We were walking towards a table but I instantly froze. Jacob was at that table, He was sitting with two other guys and a girl. All seem as big as he was and the same short cropped hair. He looked at me right when I stopped. Like he knew I was coming. I hid behind Colleen and started walking with them.

"Hey you guys look who is going to be sitting with us today. " Quil smirked and pulled me from behind Colleen. I stared at all of them and waved awkwardly. " Hey guys.." I said looking at each and everyone of them. The guys both looked at me and looked at Jacob. Jacob just shrugged and hid a smile.

The others introduced themselves. Embry, Jared and Kim. They all seem really nice and welcomed me to their table. The only seat left was beside Jacob. I sat with him and pulled out a bottle of water. I wasn't really for school lunches so I just drank water until I go home to eat. The others had their trays completely full. Well the guys at least. Jacob cleared his throat, which caused me to look over at him . He looked back at him, struggling on what to say.

"Hey Um… Jenna. Can we talk outside?" He asked looking out the window, to avoid eye contact. I looked over at the others, and they act as if they weren't trying to listen to me.

"Sure Jacob," I said getting up and he followed. We walked towards the back, and into the woods. This wasn't really something I was expecting on a first day.

"So… about earlier," He started. No I didn't want this conversation

"Don't worry about it Jake. It was an accident," I smiled, or tried to

"No, I mean. They way I was acting, the way I was looking at you. You must think I'm a freak," Jacob went on ignoring what I said.

"Nah I'm totally cool about it. That's what I get for being the new girl," This conversation was going nowhere. We were in the middle of the forest when Jacob dropped his arms on my shoulders and made me look at him. His eyes were pleading as if wanted to tell me something.

"Jenna I have to tell you something. You might be really freaked out about it. But. I think I imprinted on you," He said with a heavy sigh. My facial expression went blank and I cocked my head to the side.

"You what?" I asked in a daze. He let go of my shoulders and sat down on a log.

"Imprinting, Its what us wolves do.. I'm a werewolf and we imprint on someone that we believe would make the best wolves for our tribe. " where was this going? By now I knew that I was really dreaming . I shook myself, slapping my face.

" Okay Jake you can tell me to wake up now," She said shaking her head.

" No Look I'll prove it to you," Jacob said. He took a few steps back and started taking off his shirt. What the hell? What kind of dream is this? Being a new girl and having someone strip for you, claiming they were a wolf. I turned around and closed my eyes.

"Jacob keep your clothes on please!" I screamed. I peek to see if he was clothed, but he wasn't there. What took his place was a Big, over sized wolf

That's when everything we blank.
