Jacob seems to notice me and has a smile of relief, some girls turn to glare at me but her practically runs from the wave of girls with Jessica Stanley practically on him. He slides her off and continues to walk.
"Leah! I've missed you so much." Jacob says as he has me in a bone crushing hug .He next whispers in my ear so no one but us can hear the private conversation. "I thought that this would save both me and you." He kisses my cheek and has one arm around my shoulders.
I'm still processing on what just happened right now but I have a clear view of Angela gasp and pick up her book to run into the school, probably scared to see Jacob. We start to walk into the hall then I feel Jacob's arm leave my shoulders and Jacob turns around. I turn to see an angry Jared standing there looking at Jacob.
"Get your hands off my girl!" Jared says as he grabs my hand and tries to pull me towards him but Jacob steps up and pushes his hand off mine.
"You don't get to call her yours when you cheat, you idiot." Jacob says as my anger is rising by the second.
"Shut up new kid, you don't come to my school and think you can act like you own the place. Your-"
"DON'T EVER talk to him or me like that ever again. Don't touch me either or you're going to regret it. You may think you can get me back in a second but I'm definitely not the sweet controllable Leah you knew." I say as I get in his face and I continue "That girl is dead. The person you're talking to now won't hesitate to sock you in the face this very second." I say with a strong face.
"I don't believe that Lee-bear." Jared says as he brushes his hand on the side of my face. THAT made me shoot though the roof.
"You mother f-" I say as I'm about to attack him but I get pulled from mid-air back by Jacob.
"Just one hit and I swear he's going to go down cryin!" I yell as I try getting past Jacob but there is no luck.
Jacob then turns around to talk to Jared.
"I suggest you go before I start where Leah left off." He says as a pissed off Jared walks away.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME HIT HIS UGLY FACE! UGH!" I say as I yell at Jacob.
"Because no one is going to hit him except for me for now on. And you already had a good hit at him before." He says because he does have a point.
"So why did we do this thing again." I ask while Jacob walks with his arm around my shoulders again.
"Well first of all so you can get that bastard jealous and so you can save me from a Lap Dance." Jacob says referring to Jessica who looks pissed at me. I laugh at the last part.
"Sounds like a good excuse. " I say and Jacob agrees eagerly and happily.
"So what are we going to go about this 'us' because more than half of the school thinks we're dating and I haven't even gotten through 1 class." I state as we walk to anywhere while people are starring at us.
"Play our roles I guess? I don't want to go back to the girl clan again because that is just annoying with tones of girls giggling at every word I say and they stick to me like glue or something." Jacob tells me and I laugh because he looks traumatized now.
"Well you don't have to worry about that with me." I say as I push his shoulder playfully and he laughs and holds my torso and swings me into a circle and I laugh hysterically.
"Haha that was SO fun! I've never had so much fun like this ever in one day." I say as I get put down and my adrenaline is highering.
"Wow really? Then your regular days must suck! Well thank god you have a savior from the boredom." Jacob says and we walk.
"You? Savior? No, the only thing you're a savior of, its from intelligence." I sarcastically say.
"Hey! Are you calling me stupid?" Jacob pouted which made me laugh.
"Haha you actually got what I was saying. Usually people around here don't understand what I say. Well who's your first class?" I ask as Jacob pulls out a printed schedule of all 7 of his classes. I lean over to see all 7 classes for the year.
TEACHERSUBJECTROOM
1) English AP C5 2) Italian AP G3 3)Mrs. Cove Photography O2
4)LUNCH LUNCH LUNCH LUNCH LUNCH
5) Biology AP R8 6) Physical Educ. M2 7) Party Committee B5
"Hey, why don't you have mathematics?" I whine because that's no fair.
"Well because I got a math credit last year." Jake explains.
"Ohh. Wow we almost have all classes together except for 1st,3rd, and 6th hour.
"Oh wow that's a plus of this 1st day." He says with a smile.
"Hey what's your 1st hour?" he asks.
"Um its Mathematics in D1." I say.
"Oh so I'll be passing by your classroom on the way to mine?" He asks with a smile.
"Umm…Yeah you will be." I say as I take a left into a different hall.
I see Freshmen turn to see Jacob and they gasp.
He's so hot!
He's definitely going to be ! is he with Leah now?
Wow, why is he with her?
I guess Jacob heard and pulled me closer. This is kind of strange that we're doing this fake relationship thing.
"Hey Leah. How was class?" Jacob asks. When I walked out of my 1st period class I saw Jacob leaning on a wall one foot on the wall and his black leather Jacket over his shoulder. (And he wonders why girls like him so much.)
"Despite the fact that I have TONS of homework that I don't even know how to do and I had no idea what the whole class lesson was about, everything was peachy keen." I sarcastically say.
"Hey I can help you. I finish my math credits so I could explain it to you." Jacob offer. Usually I would tell him that I don't want him to go through the trouble but experiencing my math class today, That's a Hell yes to the offer.
"That would be a HUGE help. Thank you." I say as we walk to our 2nd hour.
" Your welcome…How come your not in photography? I know you love taking pictures and using a camera but your not in photography, why?" He asks as he takes my math book to hold for me.
"Um well because I want to be a independent photographer and learn on my own for a change." I say as I guide us to the Italian room.
"Besides I never knew that you spoke Italian." I say as we turn into the C hallway.
"Well there are a lot of things that you don't know about me." He states while I just laugh.
"Well of course I don't. I just met you yesterday so I wouldn't know much." I say and after I said that, we were both silent for a minute because we just noticed that we only know each other for a day. We're just walking and I can see Jake thinking about something.
I don't usually handle silence so good and on cue I feel the little bubbles of laughter come up my throat but I try not open my mouth because its all going to come out. I can feel it coming and it just bursts out.
" Im haha So-o s-s-sssorry. Haaaaaahhahahaha." I laugh so hard Im holding my stomach and I can't breathe.
"Haha whats so funny?" Jacob asks with a smile.
" I just don't handle silence so good." I say as the giggles die down.
I look straight ahead and see Angela walking our direction. Jacob seems to notice too and seems tense. I so something brave and spare of the moment.
I hold his hand so our fingers intertwine and I have my right hand on the inside of his upper arm. He looks down at me and smiles and knows what I'm doing.
"Thank you again for holding my books, babe. Oh and I think the best time for the tutoring is tomorrow after school because everyone will be out of the house." I tell him and the reaction on Angela's face is priceless.
Jacob's eyes almost pop out their sockets when he hears me say that. Angela turns around and walks the other direction and when she's gone I burst out laughing.
"That was a nice one!" Jacob says and we walk into Italian and the teacher makes him sit next to me because I know him 'so well.'
After Italian me and Jacob go our separate ways to our other classes. I have dance class next and I walk into the classroom with all the new freshmen whispering about me.
"Did you hear that her boyfriend cheated on her? With her best friend? And now she has the new kid as a rebound? What a slut!" The girl in the blue says and I try to bite my tongue but it never works.
"You're the one to speak. Your not a damn small so get better shorts." I tell her and the class laughs. Its true though, Her shorts are so short that when she bends down its going to either rip or give her a wedgy.
"Whatever." The girl says and we get started with dance class.
After class I walk to my locker to put my English book that I didn't get to because of Jacob. I keep walking and I see some girls giving me death glares until they realize I see them then they run.
Once I get to my locker I out everything in and when I open it a light blue envelope drops out. I pick it up and written in purple pen says: Leah
I open it and read it.
Dear Leah,
When you went into a coma everyone was so worried and Jared blamed himself for the whole thing. He would see you everyday at the hospital and always bring gifts for you hoping you would wake up to see them but you didn't. Jared would cry while with you in the hospital and he barely ever got any sleep.
While he would be at the hospital I would go with him to watch over him and after a while I started to like him. One day he was crying and thinking what to do if you never woke up. I hugged him and we kissed. We didn't stop until we realized what we did. We thought it was wrong at first but he decided he needed to move on so we started dating.
When your family heard about us, they took you home without telling Jared where you went and when he went to see you he freaked thinking that you died but then he figured out that you were home but your family didn't let him or me see you. To Jared this was worst than dying.
My point is Leah, he truly loves you and what happened with me and him was great but it ended the day you woke up. I'm sorry for what I did to you and I just want my sister back. We were so close and we used to be sad when we were apart Leah.
Your Best Friend,
Angela Webber
I can feel the tears in my eye's and they're threatening to spill. I'm not crying about Angela misses me or all what Jared for me, I'm crying because I still feel so much betrayal.
I rip the note in 4 pieces and crumple it up to throw it in the trash. I close my locker and see that Angela saw me throw it away and she's about to cry. I just look at her with a dead look and walk past her like I've never met her in my life, I wish it was true.
Jacob see's me and runs to me with a smile but it fades when he see's that I'm not in a happy mood. I still feel like crying and everyone here that knows me. Knows that Leah Clearwater is strong and fearless and doesn't cry. I try to make a run for it to the library so I can cry in peace and no one will notice.
Jacob tries to ask me whats wrong but I just walk fast to the library.
"Leah!" He says and then he has a knowing look. I notice no one is around this part of the school and Jacob grabs my arm and pulls me into a hug. That's when I break down.
