Hi everyone, before the I get to the story, I would just like to apologize for the late update. Thanks for everything. :)

"Thalia, YOU MONSTER."

"Whhaaattt. I didn't even do anything."

"How could you? They could have pummeled me into the ground with a simple high-five! How could you do that to your best friend?"

"Calm your toes, drama queen. What happened? Details!"

"Well…" And I started to tell her what happened.

"Sit down!" Seth said, still smiling really widely. He looked at me as if I was a gift from the gods.

I blushed, but sat down none the less. I clamped my hands together and prayed secretly. (Who needs more weird looks anyway?)

Dear God,please let these huge boys not eat me or make me into their new punching bag. I promise I'll try to study harder for Chemistry tests. It's a good compromise. You should take the deal. Thanks, Rebecca.

Seth, still smiling widely, said, "Guys, this is Rebecca. She's in my fourth period class." I waved awkwardly, wondering why he had the sudden interest in me. "Rebecca, this Jacob Black. He's two years older than us."

"Helloo Becky!" He said grinning.

"Don't call me that! If…um…it's okay with you." I said, remembering how big this boy actually was.

Seth shot Jacob a look, but continued. "And that's Quil, Embry, and Paul. They're all juniors, including my sister Leah. Oh, and these two are Collin and Brady, freshmen."

They all smiled, showing me their canine teeth. "Hi." They all waved. I wanted to leave.

"Hey! What about me?! Hmph. Everyone always forgets about Jared. Just wait, I'll show you." he pouted.

Seth ignored almost all of Jared's little speech."Yeah that guy is Jared. And the girl sitting next to him is Kim."

"Hi Rebecca! Will you be joining us for lunch?" Kim asked, smiling.

"Uhmm, actually, I'm not feeling too well. I think I'll go to the nurses office. Nice to meet you all though."

"Do you want me to come with you?" Seth asked, reaching out to my hand.

"No." It came out a little harsher than intended. Snap. "Thanks though." I said, trying to amend it. But it was already too late. Seth's happy face dissolved into despair, and hurt. He moved his hand back. His sister shot me a glare and put her hand on his back, trying to comfort him.

"Feel better, Rebecca. See you soon!" Kim said a bit too cheerfully.

"And then I left and sat in a bathroom stall, waiting lunch out."

"Wow. He seemed really upset from what you told me. I think he likes you."

"Don't be stupid. I just met him. And see what you made me do! Now the scariest kids on campus hate me. Thanks a lot. If I die, it's your fault."

"Don't be so dramatic. Seriously, nothing's go to happen. Just be extra nice to him tomorrow, okay? I gotta go finish Chem. homework. See you tomorrow Riri." Thalia said.

"Bye." I said and hung up, feeling extremely guilty. Mr. Fluffy, my cat, walked over to me and rubbed his head against my legs, purring.

I named him last year, in fact. It took me a while to convince my Dad to get me one. I played the, You-are-never-home-so-you-owe-me card. I picked , wondering if I should my dad. I decided against it; he would probably be in some meeting.

"Rebecca! Come drink your smoothie!" Sammy called.

"Coming!" I said, and raced down the stairs. My sisters amazing smoothie waited for me.

The Next Day

Thalia pulled into the parking lot, with me in the passenger seat. She was moaning about some test she had. "-ugh, can you BELIEVE Mrs. Rothbeck. Stupid lady, seriously. It's only been like two weeks of school. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?"

"Hey Rebecca, Thalia!"

"W-what?" I stuttered. Yep. It was Seth.

"Hey Seth, what's up?"

"Thalia." I hissed at her, giving her the 'what the hell are you doing?' look.

"Nothing much. Just decided I would walk with you guys. Since I was parked like two cars away anyway…and none of my friends were around…" He ruffled his hair, clearly embarrassed.

I didn't know whether I should be extremely pleased, since this is the first boy that has ever paid me this attention, or be majorly creeped out that this boy is paying me this much attention. "Uhm, Thalia, I gotta go. I'll see you later. Bye Seth."

He waved, looking upset again. What is with this boy?!

My temperature went up again. I started to feel the way I did after 4th period yesterday. Sick. Maybe I was allergic to school. Or maybe I was allergic to Seth.
