As If My Life Wasn't Dramatic Enough, Jacob has decided to become the Drama Queen

It's funny being a part of a pack. Well a pack of werewolves. Everyone can read your mind and takes an insane pleasure in mercilessly teasing you for the things they read in your brain. Especially when you happen to be one of the younger members. And even more when you screw up. Like majorly screw up. Like I did.

I had been given the simple task of befriending Brooke Parks and I couldn't even do that. She absolutely hated my guts. As did her cousin Autumn. Which really sucked because I sat next to her in history and I sucked at history and I know Brooke rocked at history and she always pretty much did Autumn's homework and if they liked me I could probably have copied Autumn's homework.

But alas no. Instead I'm failing history (59%! I mean come on!), the guys are constantly ragging on me, the girl I'm head over heels for hates me and I let down my best friend. And the worst part is that he isn't mad or disappointed or upset with me. He just says that you know ,I tried and that was really great of me and that I'm like the best friend ever.

Shoot me now. Collin thinks I'm wonderful when really I'm super crushing on his soul mate. Yep, the award for best friend ever goes to me! Not.

But I can't stand it. I can't stand knowing that I screwed up. I can't stand knowing that I let Collin down. I can't stand the ice lasers Autumn sends me in history class and I most definitely can't stand Brooke not speaking to me. I mean yes our conversations were usually very one sided but I still miss them. I miss her.

I have to do something about this. And soon. Very soon. And where better to start then with Autumn.(I would have started with Brooke but I just happen to be in history and hopefully if I win over Autumn she'll help convince Brooke that I'm really not that bad. Though last time we tried the whole use someone else to warm her up trick, it crashed and burned. But whatever.)

My teacher was babbling about God knows what and I wasn't even bothering to pay attention. It's not like paying attention to this one boring speech will change my abysmal grades anyway. I peaked at Autumn out of the corner of my eye. She was sending death rays straight at me and I admit I felt a bit wounded. Wracking my brain for something intelligent to say I simply decided to play the idiot card.

"Hey Autumn! What's the teacher talking about?" She looked like she was going to ignore me when she turned and used a very scathing tone (rather reminiscent of Leah, actually).

"If you actually paid attention you'd know." Okay so that didn't work. This really isn't fair. I mean how am I supposed to know how to apologise to girls? In all honesty I'm not even sure what I did wrong.

Okay Brady, you can do this! Heck yes! I turned to Autumn only to find that she had left and the bell had rung. My teacher was staring at me like I was insane and I realised that I had delivered my little pump up speech out loud. Great now he not only thinks I'm stupid but also crazy. Just great.


Sitting in Sam and Emily's living room, I suddenly had a huge brain wave. A brilliant plan to save the day. Super Brady was going to pull out some moves. Oh yeah! Bring it on.

I'm not sure why it came to me in Sam and Emily's but I really could care less. I was going to fix everything! Ha ha ha ha!!!! Booyah!

"Jake's gone." I whipped myself around to see Paul standing in the doorway. If I had heard him correctly, he really should have looked more upset but he honestly looked perfectly fine. Then again this was Paul and it was Jake who was gone. I mean he disappears every other day. And always because of Bella.

Excuse me if I gag just a bit. I never knew anything about Bella until I became a werewolf. After that I could read everybody's thoughts and Jake's usually centered on her. I'm not even sure why. Because she isn't incredibly beautiful and from what I know she treats Jake like scum. And come on she's in love with a vamp! Ewwwwwwwww!!!!! I also find it funny how the rest of the pack seems to love her. Well except Leah but Leah doesn't like anyone.

I just really don't like Bella and I can't understand Jacob's obsession with her. And now because she chose vampy over him he goes all super depressed and runs away all the time. He could at least consider the fact that Billy and Rachel get all concerned and worried when he vanishes. But no. It's all about moody Jake. All the time.

I mean yes Jake is like an older brother but seriously at least get hung up on a normal person. So Jake being gone is not all that alarming. He'll be back soon enough and then yay more emo moments.

And it sucks even more because I already have enough drama on my plate. I can't take much more of this. Recently actually I came to the conclusion that our little pack has more drama then The O.C. and One Tree Hill and Days Of Our Lives put together. It isn't healthy. I mean I'm only 14 and my poor young heart will soon be corrupted by these crazies. They really are damaging to my health. Oh well, probably too late for me now.


Today is the day that my brilliant plan will be put into action. The horrifying yellow monstrosity that the school tries to pass off as a bus screeched and puffed up to the building and I strode forward. The scary doors creaked open and almost killed a nearby kid and people began pouring out. I caught sight of Autumn and Brooke and launched forward. I caught one of their arms and dragged them out of the swamp of students.

"What are you doing Brady?"

"Apologising. I really am sorry about everything. I should have done something more to help you. I really am sorry. I know what I did was unforgivable but I hope that we can please be friends. I guess what I'm saying is that I didn't try and stop Collin because I didn't want to lose a friend but it turns out that I did anyway. Please give me another shot." Autumn looked suspicious and Brooke looked like she was suffering from a serious internal conflict. Finally she let out a sigh and looked downwards.

"Okay I forgive you, I guess. But tell that dumb butt Collin that if he wants forgiveness he better apologize! There is no way that this covers the both of you!" I just laughed. There was a happiness like I'd never felt before swirling around inside me. Brooke had forgiven me and everything just felt right again.

The bell rang and I walked with Brooke to her locker and then to class. The whole time it was like she was a new person. She wasn't acting all shy and scared. Instead she was laughing and talking and looking at me. It was like the blooming of a flower. A beautiful flower.


A beautiful flower? Wow man you are such a pansy.

Shut up Paul.

Yes please do.

But come on! It was like a beautiful flower blossoming! That's rich!

Go die Paul.

Who are you talking about anyway?

Yeah it isn't like you have an imprint to fawn all over.

Alright I officially hate you guys.

Oh so you don't hate Leah?

What?

Well you said guys....

You know what Embry? You should go die with Paul.

Ah don't be so sensitive Brady!

Yeah you're starting to act like Collin.

If I kill you do you think anyone will mind?

I won't.

You know you'd miss us Leah!

No. I wouldn't.

Yes you would! But anyway Brady's got a girlfriend!

I hate you all. I hope you die.

With that I phased back to my human form so I could escape Paul, Embry and Leah. That was a close one though. I almost let it slip that I liked Brooke. Well more than liked but I'd rather not go there. Ever.

I'm actually surprised I've kept it a secret for so long. But whatever I don't want to jinx it.

Okay so technically I still have patrol but screw that I refuse to be ribbed by those jerks any longer. Well I might as well go see Collin and tell him I made some headway with Brooke. He should be pleased.

I started the long walk back to Collin's house. He lives at like the complete other end of the rez. As far from where I am as possible. Fun.

Eventually I arrived. Finally, I never thought I`d get here. I knocked on the door and Mrs. Khail was there in like a second. Ever since I`ve known her she`s always had like a door opening speed like I`ve never seen before. She let me in and told me Collin was in his room.

"Yo Collin, open up." He did as told and the door swung open. I walked inside and he closed the door behind me.

"Okay so I have some good news. I apologised to Brooke and she no longer hates me. And I am positive that if you go and apologise she'll forgive you too." His face broke out into a huge smile and he crushed me in a hug.

"You're the best Brady! The absolute best!" If only you knew Collin. If you only knew.

A.N. Okay so I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in like years! I am like the worst updater ever. I'll try and get another chapter up this week! And if you want me to continue please review! Extra motivation is always welcome!
