Still Nessies POV

"Jake!" I shouted in a whisper so nobody would hear, but he continued laughing

"now I get it" Jake was still laughing, I was now glaring at him

"You wanna play it that way? It's on! Doggie, go fetch the ball" I grinned and Jacob's laughter stopped and he looked at me seriously before grinning to himself

"of course….leach" he was still grinning and went and got the ball for me.

"actually, it's half leach-" he gave me the ball "-good doggie" I had to go on my tip toes and reach high, but i petted his head "now get back to class"

"dogs don't go to school, do they?" he smugly answered

"this dog does" I answered back

"wouldn't you rather a stayed and watched you mess up some more?" he smirked at me

"nope, how did you even get in here without anyone seeing? I'm so gonna tell on you when we get back so you get it trouble" I grinned

"what grade are you in Nessie?" he laughed "and running? Plus they've not even noticed I'm missing, look-" he pointed over to his group who were just sitting around outside the changing rooms "-they're still waiting for the teacher to turn up, doubtful, the lesson is almost over. On the plus side, no gym class, woo!" we both laughed at that.

"but, wait, I could just tell my father you called me a leach, let's see what happens then" I grinned.

"you wouldn't, and plus, I'm sure you like you dad with 2 arms" we both laughed.

"I have to get back to my class before Hattie gets suspicious"

"who's Hattie?" he questioned

"my new friend" I smiled

"so you're ditching me?" he laughed a little.

"maybe I am" I teased him, his face dropped and I laughed a little and put my hand on his cheek to turn his head so we were looking into each others eyes. I loved his eyes, they were absolutely perfect. He looked down, maybe I had just offended him, I'd better say something

"hey, Jake I was kidding, I'm not really ditching you" I told him, his face lit up again which made me happy, his smile meant so much to me, it was like the cherry on top of the ice cream. Wait.. Why did his smile mean so much to me? Why was it like the cherry on top of the ice cream? What am I thinking?

"Good" was all he said, his voice just made me smile, the way he looks at me. I was confused, why was this happening? I still had my hand on his extremely hot cheek, so I moved my hand away but our eyes were still connected, and I wanted it to stay like that forever.

I couldn't stop smiling, he was so perfect, and he was my best friend. I was so lucky to have him. I couldn't stop thinking about his amazing eyes. Wait, what? I've never thought anything like this about him before.. What is going on? Why was I thinking these things? ...Uh Oh.

I still had my hand on his extremely hot cheek, and I slowly moved it away and looked around to avoid his eyes. I'd just figured out why.

"I better go" and I ran back to the astro turf to find Hattie sat down, looking bored.

"sorry! It was hard to find" as I said this Hattie stood up.

"it's cool, no worries" she smiled and we heard Miss Ryan's booming voice from far away telling us the lesson was over and we had to go get changed.

"Well, lets go" we both left.

Later at lunchtime me and Hattie were walking to the cafeteria, I didn't really know where anything was so Hattie had been helping me. I don't know where Jake got to, I'd seen him in class, but I was trying to avoid him, I think. Maybe he took a hint. I hope not!

As soon as me and Hattie walked into the cafeteria I saw my Jacob.. Sat with two girls?!

"He's totally flirting!" I said to Hattie, who was completely confused.

"Who is?" she asked.

"My Jake!" I was shout whispering now, as I pointed towards him.

"Whoa! You know him?" she sounded rather excited

"know him? I grew up with him.. He's my boyfr- my best friend" I blushed, hoping she didn't notice my mistake, hoping Jake didn't.

"did you just say boyfriend? Is he your boyfriend?" she said, getting louder.

I knew Jake was listening in on our conversation when the corner of his lip turn up and he grinned. I groaned and me and Hattie sat down at a table. A few seconds after we sat down I saw Jacob get up and walk over to our table. I tried to hide my face by looking down at the table, obviously it didn't work because I could hear Jacob chuckle.

"Uhm.. I'll leave you two to talk" Hattie announced and walked over to some of her other friends.

I kept looking down, although the corner of my mouth kept twitching, I could feel it. Jacob sat down next to me.

"Jealous much?" was the first thing he said as he put two of his fingers under my chin to life my head up, he was grinning.

"I was not" I protested, although I wasn't a good liar, I started to blush.

Jacob laughed. "okay then-" he started "-I'll go back over there then" he teased.

"No!" and I grabbed his arm before he could move. "okay, okay I was jealous"

I felt his hot lips press again my forehead, I took this as a good sign. He then took my hand and stood up, pulling me with him. He lead me out of the cafeteria, we were still hand in hand. I was confused.

"where are you taking me?" I asked, but he remained silent.

He ended up leading me behind the schools main building, in a little alley, we were pretty close, but not close enough so we were touching. We were a few inches apart and I looked up at him, confused.

"I need you to know" he seemed nervous, I was completely oblivious to what was going on.

"know what?" I asked in a confused tone.

"ugh, I can't tell you yet, I need to talk to your mom and dad"

"wait- what? What's going on?" I was getting mad now. Why couldn't he tell me something? More importantly what did my parents have to know that I couldn't?

"I.. I can't tell you yet" was all Jacob managed to choke out.

"of course you can, you can tell me anything, my parents don't need to know anything!" I shouted, moving closer to take his hand.

"yes they do! I'm sorry Nessie, I have to go home-"

I interrupted him, "go home?!"

"yes.. It's a wolf thing.." he started "but don't worry, I'll be here to pick you up Ness" he smiled as much as he could.

"don't bother" I coldly said and walked away, leaving Jake there. I was so mad I didn't understand. What was going on? I was his best friend! Not my parents! What do they have to do with anything? Ugh!

I walked back into the building just as the bell went. The rest of the day seemed to go pretty slow, with Jake not there it just got painful. I was so relieved when the bell went to get home. When I left the building I saw my uncle Emmett's car parked in the parking lot. I walked over and the windows were fully down, so I leaned on the window frame.

"where's Jake?" I asked

"what? Not happy to see me now Ness?" Emmett accused, joking.

I laughed "he said he would be here"

"well you got stuck with me, kiddo" he teased.

I was now getting upset. Jake had promised me he would be here waiting. I know I said don't bother, but he still should have come to pick me up! Anger was ranging through my body, I think Emmett could sense it because before I knew it he was stood next to me.

"hey Ness, don't worry, he'll be there when you get home" he told me.

"if he's just at home then why couldn't he have picked me up?" I questioned, he began to speak but I interrupted "you know what? Forget it! I'm walking home"

I felt Emmett put his arm around my shoulder so I couldn't move

"oh no, I got orders, if I let you walk home alone, you dad, you mom and that mutt will kill me, Nessie, and that's 2 vampires and a dog against me, come on, cut me some slack" he laughed a little.

"you know, uncle Emmett-" I moved under his arm and pushed his hand away "-I inherited my speed from my father, I could just run away"

"Ness, come on girl" he said this is a funny accent, which made me laugh, but nevertheless I ran away, untill I was out of his sight.

In the distance I heard a car shoot down the road, I took the long route by going through some bushes going up a hill. I knew I only had about thirty seconds untill everyone was out looking for me. Ugh. Why did I have such a protective family.
