I hope you like my filler chapter. I've been struggling a little. We moved, and didn't have internet for quite sometime. My schedule is a little rough too given 3 children and one on the way. Thanks for reading and I will do my best to update sooner this time. Enjoy!

Sealed With A Kiss

Ch. 7

J.P.O.V.

"So here's the deal Jake, Francesca's out, she was sent away. We enrolled you in Fork's High school, thanks to Charlie. After Bella graduates, you can go back to the school on the reservation. I brought your things, toiletries and what not. Your book bag is in Bella's truck and you should be set. Have a good day at school." Sam was quick, something was up, how was this possible, in just a few hours, I'm enrolled in school? NO WAY!

"No, hold on, what is going on? I'm a wolf, Bella is my destiny, the leech is trying to kill her, and somehow, I"m magically enrolled in a different school overnight? I want the truth Sam!" Why am I angry? I've just got everything I have ever wanted and here I am feeling like somebody jerked me around for my entire life.

"Okay, look, we all knew you were going to change. You had the fever, I'm mean your grandfather was one of the greatest chief's ever, so it was just a matter of time. We pulled a few strings and now you're a sophomore at Fork's high. We might pull a couple of others too, just depends on the urgency of the leech problem. We figured you'd be happy, you can go to senior prom, you'll be with your imprint all day long, she'll be graduating. It's all very romantic. Besides, I seen the way that Newton kid has been eyeballing her at work." Charlie was matter of fact, nodding his slightly graying head at Sam.

"Yeah, I had to go in a few times just to make sure she wasn't being mauled..." Sam stopped speaking and stood up, looking at the doorway. It was very strange, he was the alpha, we should stand for him.

Turning, her scent permeated my scences, fresh from her shower, and looking remarkable in her turquoise sweater and straight leg jeans. She walked in and sat down at the table.

"I wasn't being mauled, he was just a little too close." She reached for a sandwich, unwrapped it carefully. "So, how did the leeches take the news?" Chewing, she looked at Sam, awaiting an answer. I couldn't believe she had just called her former friends leeches. We all just looked in awe at her, how quickly she had taken our side in this dispute. She made me warm, I loved her so much.

"Um, well, Alice wasn't exactly happy. She was just assuming you had chosen to be with Jacob, but when the imprint occurred, you completely disappeared and she freaked out. Cam to the treaty line, she yelled for nearly an hour to get our attention. She still doesn't know you're the oracle. There is another thing though." His face wasn't exactly exuding happiness, it was reluctance. "Alice and Francesca decided that leaving is best for now. Problem is, when they come back, it means the war with Victoria and the Vulturri. We can only hope they keep their distance until then." His head was bent, he was contemplating the situation.

"So, she's bringing the Cullen's and all their friends? Which means boys transforming, girls too! UGH! I can't believe this, how does this involve the Vulturri?" She looked flushed her petite fists pounding the table in front of her. Charlie reached over and touched her small fist on the table top, quickly withdrawing his own with a furrowed brow.

"Jeez Bella, you're burning up too!" On his feet now, Charlie was examining Bella, putting a hand on her forehead. "She's at least 103 degrees. Sam, let me feel your head." Repeating the action, Charlie looked at my dad. I knew what he was thinking, she was changing.

It was inevitable now, with the continuous exposure to the bloodsuckers and now with a war looming over our heads, she would change regardless.

"i think it's just inevitable Charlie. Leah and Seth should be phasing any day now, and Quil, well, we expect sometime tonight. A couple of other kids are starting to get the fever. If she's already hot, she'll be a pack member within the week. Those leeches are in tremendous numbers and it seems we also have to be." My dad was positive now, he wasn't looking grim like the rest of us. I couldn't find words for all of this, I couldn't even get the knot in my stomach to stop causing me distress.

I felt an overwhelming need to protect her, help her, but it was too late.

" So this is it? I'm a wolf, I'm an oracle and a wolf. I can do this." Bella was talking to herself. Closing her eyes and breathing deeply.

Before we could say anything, Bella was up getting her school things. She had brushed the situation off and was going about her day. She was resilient, amazing. I stood up also.

" Dad, thanks for bringing my stuff, Sam. I was nervous, a new school, a new life. It was unreal as far as I was concerned. Bella embraced what I had obviously pushed away. I hadn't phased since last night and I was trying not to have a reason to either.

"Just a minute son. You need to check in with your pack. Sam?" Dad was wheeling himself to the front door.

"He's right, just once before school and we won't bother unless absolutely necessary. Come on." Sam was quick, gracefully bouncing out the kitchen door to the crisp outside air.

Following him I stripped and felt the heat from within, something about being outside, the smells and the air, it made me feel the pull of the wild. I phased faster than I had last night. It almost felt good as my fur flowed from my skin and then they were all in my head. Talking at once and being loud. I growled and then it stopped. Weird, but I guess they knew I was bothered by them all. Sam was relaying the messages about Bella and her fever.

"Sam, I really need to get to school. I haven't showered or anything. Do I need to be here right now?" I was irritated and I just wanted to be alone with my thoughts, not mine and everyone else s.

"Sorry, we just needed you phase before school. Tonight we are having a bonfire. Quil will be there, he might phase tonight but he needs to be there. We have to cut your hair and give you the tribal initiation. So, Bella needs to be there and any friends of yours outside of the tribe can come too. It's seen as a coming of age ritual to the pale faces. So I think that's it. Go ahead, get an education!" Sam was actually really cool. I phased and I hurried back to the house. This was going to be a long day I could tell. I wasn't even at school yet and I was exhausted.

School? Where do I start? We get here and boom! We are being stared at and Bella introduces me as her boyfriend. That got some pretty great looks, I have to admit, especially from the Newton dork. I got my schedule and Bella and I had to go our separate ways. It almost killed me when her fingers untangled from my own. I just had one more class to get through before I could see her again, then lunch! Two of my favorite things, Bella and food. Until then, I had to endure World History, I knew everything already, I had this subject last year. The teacher was a little peeved when I told him I already did this stuff last year, and he sent me to the office to speak with the counselor. Who gave me a placement test and pulled my transcripts. Turns out, I had enough brains and credits to skip a couple of grades. Looks like Bella wont be the only one graduating this year.

"Mr. Black, says here, you have lunch next. Here's your schedule, finish out the rest of the day and good luck!" This woman was a little strange but super enthusiastic. I snagged my schedule and headed out of the door. Thank the Gods for wolf persuasion, I managed to get all of the same classes as Bella.

The bell rang as I moved stealthily down the hallway toward the cafeteria doors to wait for my love. As I stood there, arms crossed, leaning against the cold brick wall, I heard the conversations pertaining to Bella and I. What they said didn't really matter, I wasn't here for their benefit.

"Hi, I'm Angela, a friend of Bella's. Jacob right?" The girl caught me off guard, the others here were just rude and paid no attention to me, none saying hello or even bothering to do anything other than gossip. I held out my hand and she took it gingerly. She was about as delicate as Bella was. I couldn't tell where I knew here from, I swear I had seen here before today. It wasn't from the parking lot either and I tried desperately to figure it out.

"Uh, yeah, nice to meet you. Do I know you from somewhere? You look so familiar." I realized that when she had shook my hand, she didn't flinch, she simply gave me a handshake. Something was definitely familiar about this girl, maybe if she lost the glasses... No, I would have remembered her for sure, but it was nagging at the back of my mind.

"No, I don't recall having met you. Seems like you have a temperature though. Is that Quileute thing?" She smiled a little.

"Yeah, we run a little hotter than other people. Just another weird thing from the reservation." I smiled back at her. I knew her, I was almost positive now.

"Weird, Bella was a little hot today too. Is she...?" Her question trailed and she looked at me quizzically.

"Oh, yeah, I mean she's only half, maybe less though. So she's more around a normal temperature. You catch on quick don't you?" She looked in the direction of the lockers and I turned to see what she was staring at. It was Bella walking down the hallway. Almost the last person to straggle down to the cafeteria.

"Something like that, well, I'll see you two at the table then." Angela smiled again and turned to get her lunch.

"Hello beautiful!" I gently kissed Bella on her perfectly pink lips. Her temperature was higher now, almost matching my own. I pushed to sick feeling away. "Hungry?"

"Somehow, I think you already know the answer to that." Her stomach growled just then, we both laughed.

"Lets go then, I'm starving too."

We piled two trays high with food, pizza, a few burgers, salads and fruits. Barely making it to the table where Bella's friends were seated. Eyes were wide as Bella began to devour slice after slice of pizza, then moving onto a burger and finally a salad and some fruit, leaving the rest for me. Even my mouth was agape when finally she looked up.

"What?" she asked mouth full of honeydew.

"Nothing, just wondering how it is you ate all of that." Mike was leaning away toward the guy named Ben. "When did you get so hungry anyway?"

"I think its good when a woman can eat. I love when Angela eats, and... Never mind." Angela shot him a mean look and then her face went back to normal gentle features.

"I didn't eat last night, breakfast either. So, I'm a little hungry." Bella looked toward Mike, giving a slight attitude. "Besides, Jake has us all beat. Her eyes met my own as I slid the last pizza slice into my face.

"Speaking of food, Saturday, remember? Plans to eat, possibly a movie? I really want to go." Angela changed the subject very graciously.

"Uh, yeah, I asked Jessica to go too, she might bring Lauren, and Eric. Definitely dinner though, because Bella and I have to work late." What a dumb ass. Mike wasn't my favorite person, he grated heavily on my nerves.

Bella rested her hand gently on my thigh, like she knew my displeasure. The touch sent electricity through every nerve in my body, I craved this from her, this closeness. I had to learn to control myself, breathing deeply, I refocused on the conversation.

"... In for sure. What time though, with work, I won't be ready for the night until about 7pm." Bella's hand still remained on my thigh. I had forgotten about everything pertaining to anything besides last night.

"I could bring a few friends too, have you guys meet my friends too." Trying desperately to be a part of Bella's group so I didn't seem too distant.

"Aren't you like a freshman?" Okay, control yourself Jake, he's just a puke.

"Well actually, I was tested today and they moved me from being a sophomore to senior! So looks like I'll be graduating with all of you." A look of shock spread across the twits face, but the look Bella gave me, melted away the frustration. She was full of adoration and pride in me. Smiling, I kissed her cheek. "Surprised?" I asked her knowing the answer.

"I am, but I guess not really. You're really a senior now?" I nodded.

"I believe it! Bella's really smart too, so maybe Quileutes are advanced or something." Angela beamed clearly happy for my accomplishment. I didn't even know this girl, or so she said, and she was accepting of me and my presence here. She was perceptive too. She knew something. I could tell. She hinted at her knowledge just now.

"Yeah, something like that." Repeating what Angela had said earlier. "So bring my friends? Or are our advanced people too much for you to handle Mike?" I regretted the words as soon as they came out of my mouth, but the challenge had been brought. Let's see what this moron has to say.

"I'm not sure that it's too much to handle it's more of the fact that I thought you were too young to hang out with the big boys." Mike leaned back as the silence fell upon every lip in the room.

Smiling, not wavering once to show my true anger, sliding my plastic chair backward. It's metal legs squealing angrily against the tile floor. Standing, I pushed my chest a little to allow Mike's laughter to get caught in his throat. Standing at my full 6'7" height, I looked at him directly in his eyes, still smiling.

"That's alright man. We'll just have to have something out my way. Bonfire maybe, I bet the girls would love the parties we throw down at the Res, you know. 'Cuz we little boys, we have to compensate for so much. Come on Bella, I think we have some planning to do." Helping Bella from her seat, I turned to Angela, "Seriously though, tonight, bonfire, we'll supply the food." I walked away with Bella. Leaving the probing eyes on Mike's beat red face, his mouth still open trying to figure out what to say.

Outside the lunchroom, Bella attacked me with kisses, after jumping into my arms.

"You are absolutely amazing. I"m so glad you're here, I was really getting tired of his mouth." Her eyes reflected her admiration as she inched closer to my face. It was difficult to control myself yet again, not wanting to, I spoke before our lips could meet.

"Bella, I can't promise you I can control myself. I don't want to be in this position, here," I motioned with my arm around us at the hallways. "In school. I want this to be right. To be special and my wolf, consumes so much of my world, my life, I want control over at least one thing, well two." Kissing her forehead, I set her back down to the multicolored tile floor.

"I know Jake, I just can't help it, I"m so drawn to you. I need you." She was lost in thought for a moment, I waited. "did you catch onto Angela? She knows something doesn't she?" Before I could say a word, the bell rang and student's were filing into the hallway quickly, either to second lunch or to class.

"English 12 or English lit Jacob?" The voice was strangely out of place here in the hallways of Forks high.

Turning, almost too quickly to meet the smiling face before me, His hand brought an incredibly green apple up to his smirking lips. The crunch rang loud in my ears despite the deafening noise around me.

"Just wondering, after lunch I've got English Lit. Pretty sure Bella does too, considering I asked for her specific schedule, I'm assuming you did too. Shall we, Jake, Bella?" His arms went around our necks with such ease, like this was how it had always been, walking down this hall with him. Knowing it was for Bella, for her safety that he was here, knowing he cared just as much as I did, I felt better about him being here.

The bell had rung already, we were late, and I'm pretty sure intentionally. The apple was now a core as he tossed it into the trash can at the end of the hall, before we turned the corner. He let go of us and pushed the door open to let us in first, coming in after me.

"Hey teach! This here is Jacob, and I'm Paul, where do we sit?"
