A/N: this chapter has a little hint of what may happen in the future. :P
Chapter 7-Boys
A few weeks went by and school seemed to be going pretty well.
Jacquie and I were pretty much straight A students, but that might have something to do with the fact that we have photographic memory.
Everyone seemed to have accepted that all the older Cullen's were taken so they all moved on to the sophomore Cullen's.
Jacquie seemed to have absolutely no interest in boys. For this I was grateful. I really didn't need her dating anyone.
I can't really say the same for myself though. I nearly slapped myself one night when I realised I had a mega crush on Caleb Verrazero. I could not allow myself to get involved with him, it was wrong and against the rules. Also if anything happened to him I know I would be torn up, just like I was when Jacob died.
However, sometimes it is really hard to not talk to him.
Me and Jacquie were on our way to school one Tuesday morning. The sun was shining so the rest of the family were out hunting. We could have gone but decided it was fun playing human.
'You ready honey?' I asked Jacquie when we got out of the car. Jasper got me a fake driver's licence so I could drive Jacquie to school on days that mum and dad couldn't come.
'Yeah.' She answered.
We walked into the school and went to homeroom.
Once we were seated I noticed Scott and Austin were having an argument with Caleb about girls again.
'Nessie those boys are arguing again. Can't they just grow up or at least agree that Caleb is right?' she whispered to me. She called me Nessie at school.
I giggled. She too noticed that Caleb seemed a really nice person and had respect for girls.
'I'm just saying that you don't need to flirt with girls or talk to them like they're hookers to get them to like you.' Caleb said.
'Yeah right dude what are supposed to do then? Oh wait, you don't do anything.' Austin said.
Scott piped up. 'Yeah no wonder your still a virg-'
'If you boys wish to continue that conversation I would suggest you do it in your own time, unless you want to stay back and help the janitor clean the gum off the desks.' Mr Calam, the homeroom teacher said.
Me and Jacquie started giggling. I looked at Caleb. So he was still a virgin huh? If it wasn't for the fact he was 16 I would have found that strange.
The bell rang soon enough and those losers were still giving Caleb crap.
'Dude you'll never get laid with the way you act.' Austin jeered at Caleb.
'I don't want to ever get 'laid'. I believe that you should do 'it' when you're in love with someone and want to show it.' Caleb said. 'By the way, we're 16 man, we shouldn't even be doing that stuff.'
Why can't all boys think like that?
'Who cares about love? Don't you want to get some action?' Scott asked.
'Man you have no respect for girls at all. You wonder why the new girls don't want you but you don't even treat them right. If you appreciated girls then maybe they might appreciate you.' Caleb said.
Jacquie turned to look at him too.
This was getting overbearing. I had to say something.
'He's right you know. Girls only want to be treated the right way.' I cut in.
'Yeah,' Jacquie agreed 'appreciate girls and they appreciate you. Act like a complete tool and they push you away. Unless of course they're complete sluts then you might get some action.'
Scott and Austin stared at us in shock, mouths hanging open and looking as if we had just spoken another language.
'You might want to close your mouths, you look like fish.' I said to them.
Caleb laughed at them.
Me and Jacquie got up to leave the room. As we neared the door Caleb said something to them quietly, if I didn't have superhuman hearing I wouldn't have heard 'What'd I tell you guys?'
I turned to wink at him.
When we arrived at our seats in English Jacquie suddenly burst.
'Oh my gosh Nessie you so have a crush on Caleb!' she said really loudly.
'Shush!' I whispered.
'Sorry, I just got really excited.'
I smirked.
'So how long have you liked him?' she asked curiously.
'Jacquie, I don't have time to crush on people, especially not humans.' I lied.
'Oh whatever mum, I see right through you.' She giggled.
'Okay fine, I do but there is no way I can let it go anywhere. He is a human and I'm a dhampir, which for your information means part human, part vampire so there is no way I could let myself endanger someone like that.'
'Never stopped grandpa.' She muttered.
I knew she was right. My dad had fallen in love with a human and he never killed her. In fact he was even able to have a kid with her until she was changed into a vampire.
But there was no way I could let myself fall in love with anyone. It would be a dishonour to Jacob. The love of my life and the father of my beautiful little girl.
I especially could not fall in love with a human. That would not be a good idea.
By the last class of the day, gym, I couldn't get the thought of being in love with Caleb out of my mind. Crap.
I got dressed in a daze. I couldn't stop thinking about Caleb. How staring into his sky blue eyes just made me want to melt. The way his short brown hair looked so sexy when he ran his hands through it. The way his lips moved when he talked. Oh, I wondered how his lips would feel on mine.
'Hello? Earth to Nessie?' Jacquie was waving her hand in front of my face.
'Huh? What?' I said.
'You've been staring off in space for like 10 minutes.'
'Oh, sorry.'
'Well whatever you were thinking about was making you very happy.' She giggled.
'C'mon, lets go.' I said and we made our way to gym class.
That day we were playing basketball and some of the boys, Caleb included, had their shirts off. Caleb's abbs looked so hot, I wanted to feel them. No! Stop thinking like that Nessie. I didn't realise I was staring until.....
'Take a picture, it lasts longer.' Jacquie giggled in my ear.
I quickly looked away and continued playing with the rest of the class.
About 10 minutes in, I was slightly distracted by the thought of whether or not it would be sunny tomorrow when I didn't notice the ball being thrown to me.
'Heads up!' Caleb yelled, but it was too late. The ball hit me right on the nose.
It didn't hurt of course, but it shocked me so much I dropped to the floor.
'Ouch.' I muttered and before I could get up Caleb was next to me.
'You ok Nessie?' he asked. Wow I loved the sound of his voice.
I smiled. 'I'm fine.'
I was about to get up but he held his hand out to me. I gladly took hold of it as he helped me up. I couldn't help notice that his touch sent a jolt of electricity through my veins. It felt......oddly satisfying.
'Thanks.' I said.
'No problem.' He answered.
I smiled and walked over to where Jacquie was standing.
She was smirking at me with a knowing look in her eyes. I gave her an innocent look but that just made her laugh.
'You....so....have....a crush....on....CALEB!' she said in between giggles.
'Tell anyone I'm crushing on a human and you're grounded.'
She continued laughing.
A/N: so....what'd you think.
Just a warning.....the next chapter may make some people throw chairs at me......i am giving you a warning now!!!
