A/N thank a lot for the review Wolfpacfaan! I appreciate it. Anyways..here's the second chapter to my story
Before the lunch bell rang I said my goodbyes and I gathered my stuff and started heading to my next class. Collecting my thoughts on the events that happened. It's still my first day here and it seems like I'm beginning to make new friends. I found out that Embry and Quil are both Sophomores like me while Jake and Paul were Seniors. They've known each other their whole lives. They acted more like a pack of brothers really. Making me feel like the odd man out at times. Everyone seems really nice, but I just met them. I don't really know them and they don't know me. Why do I have to complicate things?
I was so lost in thought that I accidently bumped into someone causing them to drop their books. "I'm so sorry!" I quickly said.
He gave me a smile. Wow. He was really attractive. I helped pick up his books on the ground when I noticed he kept staring at me. "I should have been watching where I was walking." I said scratching the back of my head beginning to get nervous.
"Don't sweat it man. You're new here aren't you?" he asked.
"Y...y..yea." I replied back nervously. OMG. Can I not start stuttering.
"My names James." Giving me his hand to shake. "I know you're new around here, why don't you let me show you around sometime and grab some coffee maybe?" He gave me a flirtatious wink.
I was so lost in his deep blue eyes that I didn't realise I was still holding his hands. I pulled back nervously "Ss...Sorry. Um, maybe. I have to..to go to class. You know first day here don't want to be late." I walked passed by James trying to not embarrass myself anymore.
"It's cool. I like my guys playing hard to get." James saying as I turned the corner.
Playing hard to get? Who the hell does he think he is? Maybe if I didn't act like a nervous fangirl things would have played out differently.
"Hey squirt!" Leah now walking besides me. Looks like she made a friend as well. "This is Rosalie." I gave a quick wave. "Can you tell mom and dad that I'm coming home a little late today? I'm going to hang out with Rosalie and her sister Alice after school today."
"I'll see. I don't know if I'm going straight home just yet. Some guys I met today asked to hang out as well." I said.
Leah giving me her signature eyebrow lift, "You know, I'm glad you're trying to meet new people. I know we promised our friends back in LA that we would always contact them, but it's just not the same you know. They're not here. Anyways, I know you have trouble trusting new people, but give them a chance ok? So, are you going to tell me who you're new friends are?"
I quickly told her about Embry and his friends. Rosalie confirmed my thoughts about them saying that they were good people. She said her brothers Edward and Jasper hangs out with them at times.
"Hey I noticed you were talking to James earlier. Try to stay away from him. He plays friendly at times, but really he's just a walking brothel to both guys and girls." Rosalie says concernly.
"Oh you don't have to worry about that, my brother isn't gay." Leah quickly replied to her.
Rosalie gave me a surprised look. "I'm sorry for just assuming that."
"It's ok." I said back. Worried. Was I that transparent she could see right through me. I left my sister and Rosalie by their lockers and continued my way towards my next class.
It started to become a routine today, come into class and sit towards the end. Watching as every student that comes in giving me their curious looks. It really was a small school because I already had 2 classes with Embry and I had a class with Quil before lunch.
"Surprised to see you here." someone says next to me giving me goosebumps. I turned and I saw it was Jacob as he took the seat right night to me. He smelled so good. Ugh. I really need to stop. I don't even think that he's gay so I need to just stop before I start catching feelings.
"I'm impressed. Senior level math and you're just a sophomore. You're smart." he said. "I hope you get to hang out with us after school today. I know you maybe a little reluctant cause you just met us, but I promise we're not vampires trying to go after fresh blood." We both started laughing.
I don't know why, but Jake just has this thing about him that makes you just feel so comfortable talking to him. Just making me feel even more drawn to him.
"I'm considering it." I quickly told him.
"Good, cause you seem like good people. I like good people and I have a good feeling that I'm going to like you." Jacob giving me another one of his mesmerizing smiles that if anyone sees it, they will fall into his spell.
Going to like me? I thought to myself. What does he mean by that? Stop overthinking things...On a side note, Math is already becoming my favorite class.
Math class ended so prematurely. I wasn't ready to leave Jacob just yet.
The rest of the day went by faster than I thought it would be. Next thing I know I was outside of school waiting with Embry for the rest of the gang. I took my phone out to text my mom that Leah and I were going to arrive home late. All of a sudden this truck pulls over next to us and I quickly recognize that it was Jacob driving the truck. Since all of us didn't fit in the truck, Embry, Quil, and I hopped in the back.
They really knew how to make someone feel comfortable and I started opening up a little more. We all hung out at Jacobs house (which surprisingly was only around the corner from where I lived). Rosalie's brothers Edward and Jasper joined us shortly after we arrived. Edward was a senior and Jasper was in his Junior year. Edward I can say was extremely handsome and he had this mysteriousness about him. I've noticed that he was adored by all. Too bad he's been dating this girl Bella. Jasper was more outgoing than Edward. More of a joker. During our meeting I find out that he is too gay. So different and so opposite from me. He seemed very free and always wore a smile around his face. One day I hope I can become good friends with him.
"You're so quiet. Loosen up man,or do you need a good tickle for that to happen." Jacob giving me a quick nudge on the shoulder smiling. Oh that smile.
"You guys all have history with each other. I just don't know how to jump into a conversation when you guys start reminiscing about the past." I replied back looking down.
"Don't worry about that. As what I said. You're good people. We'll make new history together." Jacob reassuring me everything was ok. I couldn't help, but noticed how he licked his lips after he spoke. I turned my face around feeling my face getting hotter.
"So Seth, I hope you're not gonna go all Hollywood on us and start acting like a diva." Embry teasing across the room.
"No we don't need that, there's only room for one queen diva and that's me." Jasper jokingly spoke out.
It was really fun hanging out with a bunch of guys around my age. It was starting to get dark and I had a lot of homework to do. Everyone started heading home. I was almost home when I started hearing what sounded like someone was running towards me.
"Hey Seth!" Jake yelled out. "You forgot your phone at my house." He handed me my phone. "So this is where you live, nice. Since you really don't live far we should hang out more."
"For sure" I gladly replied back. He may not be gay, but I couldn't help but he was so easy on the eyes. He turned around and started heading back towards his house when I heard my front door open.
"Seth honey, it's getting late. Dinners ready!" my mom yelling out the door.
My family and I always had this tradition that we all ate together at the dinner table. My parents always wanted to have a conversation about our days. They wanted to be kept in the loop. I told them that I made new friends. Leah also made friends with Rosalie and Alice. I didn't expect to start making friends so soon, but I'm glad it's happening.
After dinner, I retired to my room. Getting ready to start my homework my cell phone rang. It was Jasper.
"Hey buddy!" he said when I answered. "It was really nice meeting you today!"
"The feelings mutual. You guys are a good crowd to be around." I said
"So anyways, the reason why I called. I know I just met you, but there's something about you that I really like and I think I have a hunch about it, but I don't like assuming. I don't mean to pry and you don't have to answer this if you don't feel comfortable. Seth, are you gay?" Jasper inquired.
I was in shock. How did he know?
"Um..." was all I could manage to say at that moment.
"Look, as what I said if you don't want to talk about it we can just drop it. I just felt like I had to say something. I know how it feels like to be the odd man out. I can tell you that if you are, everyone in the group is very accepting. You see how I am. For all they care, you can be a contestant in RuPauls Drag race and they'll still like you." Jasper trying to lighten the subject.
I don't know why, but I felt like i could really trust him. If I was going to trust someone, I had to take a chance right?
"...I've never really talked about this with anyone. To answer your question, yes I am. I'm still trying to find myself. My family doesn't know and I don't know why I'm even telling you this, but I have a feeling that I can really trust you. I'm not ready to tell the guys either so if you don't mind not telling them I would really appreciate it." I musterd myself to say.
Jasper and I really connected. Not in a romantic kind of way, but like an older brother looking out for his younger sibling kind of way. Over the next few weeks, Jasper and I became really close and I became closer to the guys as well. After school we would all hang out at one of our houses. On the weekends we hung out as well. Sometimes even sleeping over at one anothers house. Time is passing by and I'm starting to consider this new place like home.
A few days ago I started feeling sick. My mom told me to stay home because it seemed like I was getting worse. It's been two days now I've been bed rested. It was late and I couldn't sleep. I was feeling sappy and watching The Notebook when my phone rang. It was Jacob. My heart froze. Why was he calling me so late?
"Hello?" I answered my phone a little groggy, "is everything ok?"
"Yea, yea. Everythings fine. I haven't seen you in a few days at school was just wondering how you were feeling." he was concerned.
"Still feeling sick, but yea. I could be better."
"Have you eaten yet? Did you want something to eat?" he was really concerned.
"Jake, why are you calling me so late." I asked.
"I always call my friends when they're sick. I got to make sure that they're taking care of. Anyways, what are you up to?" Jacob said.
We talked for a good six hours till we finally got off the phone. I can say that my feelings for him was steadily growing, but I had to keep it in check. Jake called me again the following night and we talked even longer than the previous. He can really keep a conversation going. We learned more about each other each minute we talked. I learned that he hasn't been in a relationship since a couple years ago. He was really bummed out about it. I guess they were in a long distance relationship. It hurt my heart hearing about his past relationship. Thinking that if it was me, I wouldn't have let him go. I did notice one thing though; he never once said "he or she" it was always "this person". Am I looking into this too much?
