"I'm Sam, Sam Uley," He stuck his hand out, signaling for me to shake it.

"I'm Bella Swan," I shook his hand lightly.

"I'm Jacob's friend."

That confused me, Jacob seemed to dodge my question about his friends, and he never even mentioned a Sam.

He chuckled, "I know, he probably doesn't count me as a friend, but he did until about three weeks ago, and I still think of him as my friend."

I knew not to ask what happened, Jake said he was going to tell me that himself.

"Anyway, he was excited when he found out you were coming to Forks," He smiled wider, I couldn't help but smile back.

The maths lesson went slowly. The whole time i was trying to avoid Edward's gaze. His chair was as far away from mine as the table would let him. His hand was covering his mouth and nose, but his eyes never left my face.

When the final bell went Edward moved so quickly out of the room that I hardly saw him move.

I took a deep breath in.

"Are you alright?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, thanks," I mumbled.

"How are you getting home?" He asked.

I shrugged, "Walking." Charlie had offered to come and pick me up, but i'd rather avoid the humiliation of the police car again.

Sam's eyebrows pulled together, "It's snowing out."

I glanced outside to see that he was right, to ground was covered by thick, white snow. "Great." I mumbled.

"How far away are you?"

"Only a couple of miles."

Sam chuckled, "Only? I can give you a lift if you like, I'm giving Jacob a lift home as well."

"No, no, you don't have to do that, besides, I just live over the hill," I secretly wanted a lift, but I didn't want to be a burden.

"Nah, come on, did you even bring a parka to school?"

I bit my bottom lip.

"I didn't think so," He grinned and walked out of the classroom, "Come on, then, we don't want you to get frost bite of your first day, do we?"

I gave up and followed him.

We sat in his car in silence as we waited for Jake to come. I saw him walking down the steps of the school without a jacket.

"Isn't he cold?" I asked Sam.

"He should be," He said so quietly that I didn't think I was meant to hear.

Jake and I locked eyes through the frosted car window, I smiled, he looked angry.

He ran over to the car faster then I thought possible and flung the door open. "Get out of the car, Bella," He practically growled.

I didn't move, this wasn't the Jacob I knew.

"Now!" He roared.

I did as he said as fast as i could.

"What did you do to her? What did you say?" He screamed at Sam.

Sam held his hands up in surrender, "Nothing! I didn't do anything!"

"You're fucking lying! What did you do?!"

It looked supernatural, his whole frame was shaking, as if he were going to explode.

"Jake, you're over reacting, nothing's happened, stay calm," Sam calmed him, and just like that, Jake was back to normal.

"You're right, you're right," He kept saying over and over. "I don't feel very well, though."

Sam nodded, his eyes tight. "Lets get you home, we're just going to drop Bella home on the way, alright?"

Jacob nodded then took a step towards me, I took an instinctive step back.

"Bella, I'm sorry, I just... lost it."

I nodded slowly, "Do you always... lose it?"

He frowned, "No, never, I don't know what's happening, I feel... wrong."

I nodded again and got in the car silently.

"What number house, Bella?" Sam wondered.

"14," Jake mumbled, I looked at him, he just looked away.

"Is this it?"

"Yeah, thanks for the lift, Sam."

"No problem."

"I'll walk you to the door," Jake told me.

I tried to hide the smile that was threatening the corners of my mouth.

"I'm really sorry, Bells, for loosing it back there. And I know that you have a lot of questions to ask me, how about tomorrow, after school?"

"That'd be great," I grinned, "I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, sure."

Neither of us really knew how to say goodbye, so we just stood there like the awkward teenagers we are.

"It wouldn't be weird if I... hugged you, would it?"

"Not at all," I said simply.

I wrapped both my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist, I had to stretch up onto my tippy-toes to do so. He was so warm, so nice, like my own, personal sun. The hug lingered so long that Sam had to break it up by beeping five times. Jake and I both let out a small chuckle.

"Bye, Bells," His warm breath swept across my ear.

"Bye, Jake." I whispered back.

He pulled back from the embrace and took a few steps towards Sam's car.

I stretched up on my toes once more to get the key from on top of the door.

"Jake!" I called after him, he turned around straight away. "I'm too short," I giggled, "I can't get in, the key's up there," I pointed to the top of the door.

He smiled, "No problem, see you later, Bells."

"Hope you feel better."

I stepped into the nice, warm house and sighed contently.

"How was your first day, Bells?"

His voice made me jump, "Hi, dad, you scared me." I smiled at the nickname that Jake had made up.

Charlie's face was shocked.

"What is it?" I wondered.

Charlie shook his head quickly, "Sorry, you just seem... a lot more like yourself compared to this morning."

"I feel a lot happier than I did this morning." I shrugged.

"Good," Charlie smiled. "Come sit, Bells."

I followed him into the living room and got comfortable.

"So, tell me all about your first day, did you make any friends."

"Just one," I said.

"What's her name?" I could tell that Charlie was trying to hide the fact that he was surprised that i'd actually made a friend.

"It's not a her."

I giggled as I watched Charlie's face turn from happiness to disapproving. "Bella... you just moved here, I don't think you should rush into things with boys-"

"He's my friend, dad."

"Well, what's his name, then?"

"Guess." I smiled.

Charlie just stared at me, I wasn't myself, I was different, happy. He was thinking hard, eyebrows pulled together in concentration, then his whole face loosened as he smiled, "Jacob?"

I nodded.

"Oh, good! I haven't seen jacob since-" He stopped.

"Since what?" I asked.

"I think he should tell you that himself. Anyway, who dropped you home?"

"Sam Uley, Jake was there too."

Charlie smiled so wide that i thought his mouth was going to snap back into place.

"What?" I asked, laughing.

"You called him Jake, does he call you-"

"Bells," I smiled.

"I've never seen you like this before, your so vibrant cheerful." Charlie had never been this happy for me before.
