I reached over and hit the stupid alarm clock.
How is anyone supposed to have a good day when they have to wake up to that thing buzzing? It's not a pleasant way to start you day.
I groaned and sat up. That's when the previous day came flooding back into my mind.
Forks High School. First Day. Edward Cullen. Jacob.
Wait, Jacob? Did I fall asleep last night in his arms? Before Charlie came home? I bet he loved coming home to his daughter in her boyfriend's arms asleep. Nah, he wouldn't care. He had supper to attend to.
Jacob must've carried me up here. I involuntarily smiled at the thought of Jacob carrying me up the stairs. I wasn't exactly the lightest thing. He had been getting pretty muscular lately though. I kept teasing him about working out.
I decided to call him before I started getting ready. I needed to talk to him before I went back to that hell hole of a place called school.
He answered on the second ring.
"Hello?" he said, breathlessly. He must've ran to get the phone. I smiled at the thought.
"Hey, Jake," I said
"Bella! I was hoping it was you," he said, causing me to smile again. I did that a lot talking to him. Or being around him. Or thinking about him. Or hearing his name.. you get the point.
"Why's that?" I teased.
"Because I didn't get to say good night to you last night. Seeing as how you fell asleep on me last night. Not that I really minded, you're cute when you're asleep. Plus, you talk in your sleep. I do have a question, though. You talked about me a lot, but who is Edward? And why were you dreaming about him?" my breathing hitched.
I dreamed about Edward? I talked about him in my sleep? What was I supposed to say to Jacob? Oh just some guy that goes to my school that I've never talked to that may or may not hate me for no reason. I don't know why, but I can't get him off my mind.
Um, I think not.
"Edward? Oh, I just finished reading Sense and Sensibility. That's the name of a character in it. I guess it was on my mind?" I rambled. I was a bad liar, I wondered if he could tell.
Why was I lying anyways? Why couldn't I just be honest with Jake? It wasn't a big deal, was it? Of course not, I answered myself.
Jacob chuckled. It was a carefree sound, so I must have seemed pretty convincing.
"You and your books," he laughed.
I tried to laugh. It sounded kind of hysterical. Hopefully he didn't notice.
"So, was there a reason you called?" he asked
"Nope, just wanted to talk to my wonderful boyfriend and tell him to have a nice day," I said, trying to calm back down.
"Oh, well thanks then. And you, my wonderful girlfriend, have a good day, too," he responded. I could hear the smile in his voice. I don't think I had ever wanted to be with him more than I did in that moment.
"Thanks. I love you, Jake."
"I love you, too, Bella," and with that he hung up, leaving me with a fluttering heart, as always when he said that.
Now, what the hell?
Why was I letting some emotionally unstable guy bother me so bad? He obviously had issues. Why was I convinced those issues were because of me? The guy doesn't even know me!
It had to be because of the glares. Anyone wouldn't be able to get that out of their mind.
Truth be told, though, I knew he had me captivated before I stepped foot in that Biology classroom.
Not in a romantic way. Obviously not. I had Jacob for that. There was just something about him.
I have to stop thinking before I have an anurysm. I picked up my ipod and went to the playlist of songs that reminded me of Jacob. He was the only thing I needed to think about. I turned the volume all the way up, pressed shuffle, and started to get ready as Vanilla Twilight by Owl City blared through the headphones.
I'd been in love with this song since the first time I heard it. The lyrics were so romantic. I started to sing along under my breath.
I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
Til I look at my hands and feel sad
Cuz the spaces between my fingers are right where your's fit perfectly
Pretty soon that song was over and now Your Love is My Drug by Ke$ha was playing.
After a couple more songs, I turned off my ipod and headed downstairs to eat a pop tart before I had to leave.
Even though I was dreading it, I couldn't wait to get to school. It was an odd combination. One that I didn't understand at all.
I got to the school and pulled into the parking lot, subconsciously looking around for a certain bronze haired boy.
Bad, Bella. Stop that. Jacob. Jacob Black. Get Edward out of your mind. Now!
I got out of my truck and was halfway to the building when I heard Jessica calling, "Wait! Bella! Wait for me!"
I sighed before turning around. Was I going to have to walk with her everyday now?
After suffering through my first three classes, it was time for lunch. I found myself getting nervous. I didn't want to experience the death glares today.
I got in the cafeteria and my eyes immediatly drifted to the table the Cullen's were sitting at yesterday.
They were all sitting there. All, except Edward, that is.
I looked around the rest of the cafeteria to see if he was sitting somewhere else, but he was nowhere to be found. I let out a sigh of relief. Now I could finally breath right.
Biology was a lot better than yesterday, seeing as how I had the table to myself and there was no freak of a boy sitting next to me.
The rest of the day went by quickly, and before I knew it, I was on my way home.
The rest of the week went by in the same fashion. Edward Cullen was never back, though the rest of his family was.
Pretty soon it was Friday, and I was sitting on First Beach with Jacob.
After all the events of this week, it was amazing how he made me feel. Like nothing could hurt me, and everything would be ok.
We sat in silence, just enjoying each other's presense.
"Look!" he yelled, startling me, "It's a shooting star,"
I looked up and sure enough, a huge one was going across the sky.
This was a big deal in Forks, seeing as how it was always cloudy, and you couldn't see the stars or anything like that.
"Make a wish," I told him.
I closed my eyes, and wished Jacob and I would be in love forever, and nothing could happen to change that.
Somehow, I knew Jacob wished for the same thing.
