This is a Twilight fanficiton. It doesn't have the original Twilight Characters, it has my own. I will be making an update once a week at the end of every week, probably on a Friday or Saturday. I hope you enjoy it! :)
I do not own Twilight, it is owned by Stephenie Myers.
Part 7
The sunlight that came through the window blinded me even in sleep. I rolled over half expecting to feel something cold but there was nothing. Mike had already left. I looked at the clock, 7:50 a.m! I jumped out of bed knocking a chair over in the process. Why didn't anyone wake me up! I quickly got dressed not even bothering to take a shower, and ran down stairs.
"Mom!" I yelled into the silence of the house.
No one answered, of course she would already be gone to take Jeffery to school. I ran outside half expecting to see Colleen waiting for me but there was no one. I clenched my hand into a fist, trying to hold back the sudden anger that flared in my chest. It was a good thing I had done track before moving here. I started down the road at a sprint. The sun was shining more then usual, making me sweat a little. I got to the parking lot of the school and slowed my pace, my breathing coming in gasps. When I reached the door to my first period class I looked through the small window and saw the clock on the far wall, saying I was twenty minutes late. I growled to myself before opening the door and taking the first few steps in.
"Ms. Heath, so nice of you to join us." the teacher said impatiently. "Did you happen to see Ms. Clarence or Mr. Cobblestone on your way here?"
"No, sir." I said taking my seat as fast as I could.
"Oh and Ms. Heath, that's a week of detention for being late to my class."
I sighed and looked around the class room and sure enough, Colleen and Mike were not here. I sat through first period alone then went to second period where a girl named Cora sat by me. I knew her brother Carl but I had never really gotten to know her.
"Hey, your Jackie right?" she leaned over to whisper as our History teacher wrote chapters and world wars on the board.
"Yeah."
"Well, just to let you know, Carl has a small crush on you." she giggled when she said this.
"Uh, thanks for the heads up." I said looking at the clock.
"Is there something you want to share with the rest of the class Ms. Heath, Ms. Stone?"
"No ma'am." we both murmured at the same time.
For the rest of that period and English before lunch, I talked with Cora and a few of her friends. Thirty minutes before lunch, the door opened and Mike stepped in. He handed the teacher a note and took his seat next to me.
"Where have you been?" I whispered leaning over to him.
"One, the sun was shining this morning and two, we had some… minor difficulties with Moonlights coven." he growled when he mentioned Moonlight and her friends.
I looked to the window and saw that the sun had disappeared and a heavy rain had taken its place. Then it hit me that Colleen still wasn't here.
"Where's Colleen?"
"I haven't seen her all day." I glared at him for a moment. " I promise."
I sat in my chair, not know what to say when the memory of running to school flashed in my mind. A flare of anger scorched in my chest and Mike flinched away.
"Why didn't you wake me up this morning?" I hissed through my teeth.
"I was in a rush and I thought that your mom would wake you." he defended himself.
"Well she didn't, she never does. Now I have a weeks worth of detention." I glared at the board, not caring about anything else but my sudden anger.
"I'm sorry." Mike whispered, sounding sort of hurt.
I didn't look at him for the rest of the class, I just talked to Cora and her friend Skyler. When the bell rang to dismiss us for lunch, I went straight to Health class for my detention. When I got there the teacher was shorting through a stack of papers. Since moving here I hadn't even bothered to learn the teachers names, I just called all of them teacher, Mrs., or Mr. They didn't seem to mind. I sat in the front row not knowing exactly what I was suppose to be doing. The teacher looked up at me from his stack then went right back to work.
Well this is fun. I thought sarcastically. Fifteen minutes past and finally teacher looked up at me a second time. "You can go to lunch now Ms. Heath. But remember until Friday you have to come here before lunch."
"Yes, sir." I got up and slowly walked to the door.
When I got outside, Mike was waiting for me. He looked a little pained when he saw me.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked as he fell into step beside me, while I walked towards the lunch room.
"Nothing." he murmured.
"No, tell me. Something is wrong, I can see it on your face and in your eyes."
"Its just… I don't like it when your mad at me… I become mad at myself…"
I looked at him, he was looking at the ground. I grabbed a fist full of his jacket and made him look at me.
"I'm not mad at you okay. I was a little upset about this morning and having lunch detention but I'm not anywhere near mad at you." he wasn't looking at me and he didn't look convinced.
I grabbed his chin and forced him to look at me, like my mother use to do. "Ok?"
"Yeah…" he mumbled.
"Good." we continued to walk down the sidewalk.
When we were nearly to the lunch room, Mike stopped and grabbed my arm.
"How about we go to my place for lunch. I heard from Jerrod that we have an extra hour for lunch thanks to the freshmen having a big test."
I looked into his topaz eyes, they were smothering me. With a sigh I gave in.
"Sure, why not. But we got to be back for our next class."
"Yeah, yeah. I know the drill." he smiled a silly grin and pulled me along to his car.
I had never been to his house so when we left the limit of Forks I was starting to question if he lived in Seattle. But he pulled off to a dirt road not to far from Forks limits. We drove down that road until we came to a valley. Smack dab in the middle was a huge white house. It was beautiful, roses and every other kind of flower you could think of was growing long side the house. The drive way had trees on either side so that it made a sort of arch all the way to the house. The grass was greener then anywhere else in Forks. When we came to a stop I recognized Helen's black mustang. That brought an unpleasant feeling, what if Fiona was here as well. Mike sensed my feelings and quickly got out and to the other side to open my door.
"Don't worry, nothings going to hurt you." he said as if he knew the future.
"Yeah, well if Fiona is here I'm not so sure about that." I mumbled.
Fiona had been very negative towards me since Mike "broke up" with her. She gave me cold, death stairs, probably wishing I would die. We walked up to the door and without hesitating, Mike opened it and escorted me in. The sound of a t.v. could be heard in a near by room, a football game. Stealers against Cowboys, I believed is what I heard. Mike lead me down a hall and the sound of the t.v. got louder. We stepped through a door way and into a huge room with seven people gathered around the t.v. I recognized Helen, Jerrod, Fiona, and the guy from the other day that was in Mike's car. But there were two people who I would have guessed to be his parents and another guy around Mike's age, who could have been his brother.
"Hey Mike, Jackie." Jerrod greeted us.
The two people who I thought were their parents shot up and in a flash were standing in front of me.
"Mike, is this the girl you were talking about?" the female asked.
She had long black hair, that matched Mike's and the same topaz gold eyes. Her face held only warmth, kindness, and curiosity.
"Yes, mother." Mike mumbled, looking kinda embarrassed.
The man had dark red hair like Helen's, with topaz gold eyes. His face was like his wife's but less warmth and curiosity and more power, like a leader.
"Well, Jackie. Its nice to finally meet you." the man said.
"Yes, we've heard so much about you from Mike." Mike's mother seemed like a really nice person.
Fiona hissed from where she was sitting next to Helen. Mike glared at her but she ignored him.
"Well honey, my name is Janet and this is my husband Mark. We're very happy to meet you." she took my hand into her freezing one and shook it with a smile on her face.
"Thanks." I said kind of nervously.
"You know Helen, Jerrod, and Fiona of course. But let me introduce you to my other two sons. Trevor and Kyle." Janet motioned to the two guys.
The one that had been in Mike's car the other day was Kyle, he looked nicer then Trevor. They both waved slightly before turning their gazes back to the t.v.
"Well I brought Jackie over for lunch. So we're going to go to the kitchen." Mike grabbed my arm and dragged me out of there.
