I know it's been a long time. A lot has happened but, I won't pester you with my problems. We'll all enjoy the story and hopefully, this time I won't disappear. :-)

Chapter-6

A new day and, not just any day.. Date Day!

Really? I could've come up with something waaay better than that..

You're the one who came up with it considering you're MY brain, you idiot!

Oh, yeah.. right. My bad.

I had just finished with my breakfast and was waiting for Jacob.

Charlie left early after having a rushed breakfast. He said something about people getting killed in the woods by something. He strictly told me not to take a stroll there.

I considered telling him about my dreams but, thought against it as he would probably switch my school to a mental asylum as soon as he heard.

A loud rumbling of engine brought me out of my thoughts and I couldn't stop the blood from rushing to my cheeks.

Jake was here!

I quickly picked my bag up from the counter and came rushing out of the house. After locking it, of course.

Jake was already out of the truck by the time I reached him and he flashed me a grin.

I practically ran into his arms as he wrapped them tightly around me and picked me off the ground. His hair was loose today and they looked so silky and soft that every girl would be shaving their heads in shame. I buried my nose in his hair.

God.. they smelled great too!

That's right, keep sniffing the hair. That's as far as you can get.

I would gag you if I could.

"Someone looks happy." Jake softly chuckled as he put me down on my feet and led me to my truck with my hand grasped in his warm and large ones.

I bet something else of his is warmer and larger too-

I am seriously running out of insults to throw at you!

Don't worry, I'll provide them.

I got inside the truck and Jake sat beside me on the driver's seat. The engine roared to life and he pulled the truck out of my driveway.

"You excited about our date tonight?" Jake asked smiling, keeping his eyes on the road.

I blushed a little but, covered it quickly with my hair.

"More than excited." I said with as little confidence as I could muster and looked at him.

"Really?" He looked away from the road for a second as he glanced at me with shock and happiness in his features.

"Yeah," I said quietly as I looked at my hands.

"Maybe more so than you." I said a bit teasingly but, I knew that I meant it.

He looked at me with a smile and an unreadable expression. He turned his eyes on the road again and kept driving.

"We'll see about that."

TTT

Lunch rolled around and I was sitting at a very crowded table with people from both Forks and La Push. Jake was sitting on my right and was digging his way through the third burger on his hand.

That boy had an appetite of ten people combined.

Not just him though, all the La Push boys were eating like it was their last meal. Others didn't even spare them a glance, they were used to it.

Besides Jacob, there was Quil, Embry and Jared on our table who were from the rez. There was only one girl among those huge, bulky boys. Leah.

She was two years older than the rest of the boys and still they looked much older. She dropped out of school for a couple of years when her mother had a huge accident. She stayed home to take care of her mother and help her get back on her feet. She also took care of her little brother, Seth and her father who was in a very bad place after her mother's accident.

That information alone was enough to tell me how strong she was. She was friendly, just the perfect amount. Not too awkward, not too clingy. She had a very good sense of humor. I really liked her. Jacob told me her fiance cheated on her with her own cousin not so long ago. And yet, she was dealing with everything with such a brave face. Anyone else in her place would've been devastated. But, not Leah. She was a fighter. I really admired her.

"Wow, they're back. Did they spend all their time with beauticians or something? They look even better than the last time." Angela said dreamily with her eyes fixed on the door.

We all looked at the direction and-

Holy moly!

Not the kind of expression I was looking for.. but, thanks.

But, they're soo.. I don't know how to describe it!

Finally, you ran out of words!

It's a crime for them to look so good and stick together at the same time.

That, you're right about.

Every single person looked perfect. From their perfect skin to their golden-brown eyes.

Then Jessica proceeded to tell me about their family and everything else, how they were adopted and were actually together-together.

That was a little weird.

"What kind of hair dye does he use? That can't be his real hair color!" Leah frowned as she looked at someone from the Pretty People.

I looked in her line of sight and saw a very beautiful creature walking by our table. He was tall, lean with bronze hair and golden eyes and perfect white skin like the rest of his family.

If they were all adoptive, how come they looked so similar?

I noticed the La Push boys on our table were scowling as they looked at the Cullens, even Jacob had a little frown on his face?

Were they jealous or something?

I know all of them weren't Cullens but, it made more sense to address them that way as their adoptive father was also a Cullen.

"Whatever.." Embry muttered under his breath as all the girls in our table kept swooning at them, minus Leah and me.

Yes, I admit they looked like some models out of a fashion magazine but, I wasn't gonna drool over them like some sort of fangirl. I had Jake.

Yes, drool all over him and then lick the drool off of him..

Gross doesn't even begin to cover it!

I looked at Jacob who was still frowning a little. I nudged him with my shoulder and he turned to me with the frown gone from his face.

"They might be beautiful as hell but they can't beat your sunny grin." I told him with a soft smile and looked him straight in the eyes. He smiled back.

He didn't say anything but, I knew that he wouldn't be frowning anytime soon.

That was more than enough for me.

TTT

Biology. The only subject I had to endure without Jake.

I was kind of regretting taking it now. But, I liked it. It was an interesting subject to learn.

As I walked in the class, I saw someone sitting on the seat that was empty on the previous day.

Now I knew why.

It was Edward Cullen. The most beautiful member from the Pretty People. The one with the bronze hair.

He occupied the seat next to mine. That's why I didn't get a biology partner. Mr. Norris said a student was absent who'd be my partner once he got back.

Edward Cullen was my biology partner.

No wonder the girls of my class were shooting me death glares.

Wow.. first for Jacob, now for Edward. It was clear I wouldn't make much female friends in Forks High.

I silently took my seat next to Edward and put my bag next to me. As soon as I sat down, he sucked in a breath and he seemed to be holding it in.

I cast him a weird look and focused on the class.

Did I smell bad or something?

But I took a shower in the morning and it wasn't like I was sweating or anything. So, why was he behaving like that?

I didn't look at him for a second time and just focused on the lecture. He seemed to be holding his breath for the entire class. I know that was impossible 'cause then, he'd be dead. But, it looked like he was somehow managing to do it and stay alive at the same time.

As soon as the final bell rang, he bolted out of the class before anyone else could. I just fumed and got out as well.

I met Jacob on the hallway who was waiting for me. He grinned as soon as he saw me.

My anger instantly melted away as I saw his contagious grin.

"Hey, Jake.. do I smell bad or something?" I asked him, unable to help myself.

He sent me a weird look.

"No, you smell perfectly fine. Why would you ask that?" I shrugged.

"No reason. Just wondering." He didn't look entirely convinced but, dropped it.

He slung a hand casually over my shoulder and I jumped a little.

He was burning!

I immediately touched his forehead and it felt so hot, I was sure my skin would turn red.

"Jake, you're burning up!" I exclaimed and put my hand on his arm. Even through the material of his blue V-neck, he still felt hotter than an oven.

"I'm fine. My temperature has been going up at times but, I don't feel sick or anything." He shrugged my hand off and led me out of school.

"Still, you should see a doctor-"

"If you're going to the hospital, can I come? You can get checked up by Dr. Cullen!" A voice interrupted excitedly and I looked on my side to see Jessica staring at us with an awestruck look.

"No! I'm not going to the hospital. I'm fine. Bells, you don't have to worry, okay? If I feel weak or anything, I'll go to the hospital, no matter what time it is." He assured me with a firm look.

I nodded my head and sighed.

"Fine. But, if you don't.. I'll make you drink Charlie's broccoli soup." I threatened him with a pointed finger.

He looked genuinely scared as he gulped.

"I promise but, please! Do not metion that poison in front of me again." He shuddered and started walking towards the parking lot.

I fake gasped and grinned.

"How dare you?" I whispered wickedly.

He just rolled his eyes at me.

"Hey, Bells. Would you mind if I catch a ride with Embry? I wanna go home and get everything ready for our date tonight." I swear I saw his cheeks turning a little pinkish..

"That's okay. I have to go and get ready too. You'll come pick me up like a gentleman, alright?" I said teasingly.

"Okay. I'll come by 7." He smiled and hugged me quickly.

"See you tonight." I shyly said as he pulled back. He looked at me happily and nodded his head.

I got in Cho and drove away. I could see Jacob on my rearview mirror as he ran towards Embry's car.

Now all I had to do was wait for tonight.

You and me both, dear.

Holy mother of..

TTT

Well, there you go. Finally we caught a glimpse of our bronze-haired perfectionist. I won't use events or scenes directly from the books or movies but, there may be some similarities. I'll make those lines as short as I can.

'Till next time!
