HEYY YALL.

Jacob is comin' into the story taday! :3 Seems the La Push gang has there own little club too. DUN DUNNNN.

Now, remember, this story follows Twilight. So Jacob won't be in Werewolf club, yet. Ooops! Did I just say that out loud? x3

I don't own Twilight. So Enjoy that!

OH. AND PLEASE NOTE: The 'Owl Pellet' thing in this chapter, is real. I actually did this in fourth grade and lemme tell you, it was rank. The smell was AWFUL.

Bella's POV

I stumbled dazedly into class just before the bell rang. I was still shocked over Edward, inviting me to his table. Alone. It was a pleasant surprise at first but I wondered what he really wanted. All he said was to stay away but can I really do that when he pesters me like that? Although, I don't mind that he annoys me sometimes like that. In fact, I kinda like the attention from him. It was a weird feeling for me. But I couldn't help it! Everytime I hear his name, see him, hear him talk it makes my stomach twist and I feel sick. What was it? I never felt like this before in Arizona or for anyone else. I was probably just getting sick. I'll take a chewable vitamin later...

I plopped my bag on the ground next to my chair and sat down. The class was talking eagerly around me. My teacher, Mrs. House, walked in with a big box. She set the box down on the table and pulled out a poster. She unrolled it into a large skeleton of a mouse. My stomach twisted and flopped. This wasn't the twisting I felt with Edward, it was much worse.

"All right, class." Mrs House started and grinned. "Today we will be examaning owl pellets. You see, when owls eat mice. They eat the mouse whole, fur and bones and all. They can't keep all that junk in their stomach, so they cough it back out..." I stopped listening there.

I wrapped my arms around my stomach and groaned. All the class was eager to be doing this assignment but I wish I had stayed back in the lunch room with Edward. When Mrs. House was done instructing the class on how to find all the bones in the owl pellet and record it, she passed them out to the table groups of two. I looked to my left to see a empty seat. I moaned again and put my forehead down on the desk.

"Bella, are you alright?" Mrs. House asked in concern. She rubbed my back. "Do you need to go to the nurse?"

"Yes please..." And I dashed out of the smelly classroom before she could assign someone to go with me. I rushed down the hallway, trying to get as close as I can to the nurses office, or at least the bathroom. I keeled over and put my hand over my mouth to keep from vomiting. The air was fresher in the hallway, the musky smell of balled up owl puke was behind me. I breathed in slowly.

"Bella?" A familiar voice sounded in front of me. No! Please just let me be imagining that! I can't let Edward see me like this!

"Bella? Bella! Wake up!" He whispered loudly and lifted my torso up to where I was just sitting on my knees know.

I hid my sickening face in my hair and muttered. "Go away...I'm fine..." He chuckled in relief and began to help me up. I thought he was going to just stop there but he didn't. The school carpeting disappeared from under me. My eyes flew open in shock. Edward had scooped me up in his arms and walked the way to the nurses office like I was 5 pounds.

"Put me down!" I struggled in his grasp but he just adjusted himself to hold me like I was just a bundle of clothes. The rocking movement of his walking was not helping. Please! Please don't let me vomit on him!

"You look awful." Edward commented as we neared the nurses office. I groaned and threw my head back.

"Put me back on the ground to die..." I muttered. He chuckled and entered the nurses office. I heard a large gasp and I was lifted higher by another pair of arms. The nurse placed me on a bed with plastic wraping on it like I really was going to puke.

"What happened, sweetheart?" The nurse asked and kneeled down to my eye level.

"I found her on the floor." Edward answered like she was talking to him. The nurse rolled her eyes and turned to Edward.

She waved her hand towards the door. "You can leave now, Edward." She said in a slightly annoyed tone. Edward didn't move.

"The teacher says I'm suppose to stay with her."

"But I just sent you back-"

"I got back to class quickly." Edward finished his lie and sat down on the bed across from me. He smirked. The nurse sighed and went to the back room to get something. I narrowed my eyes at Edward.

"You can leave you know." I snapped at him. He rolled his eyes and patted my head.

"Your just delirious." He said and rubbed my hair.

"No. I'm just-"

"Shhhh. Shhhh. Its okay. Its okay." He calmed me like a baby. I slapped him away before the nurse walked in again. She threw a pointed look at Edward and kneeled down to me again with a washcloth. She rubbed it on my forehead.

"Do you want to go home, hon?" She said and patted my shoulder. I nodded weakly. The day was far from over and I'd probably have to go back to the classroom, which will still stink. She smiled and went to her computer to fine my file to call my mom. I closed my eyes for a minute and when I opened them again, Edward was staring into my face.

"Gah!" I sqeaked and jumped back. He laughed and took the damp washcloth. I looked at the time, I only closed my eyes for 6 minutes.

"Your mom will be hear soon, sweety" The nurse called from another room.

"Its okay I ride my bike home." Edward called back.

"Edward! Go back to class!" The nurse scolded. Edward chuckled and stood up. He lifted a bag and tossed it into my lap. I looked down and realized it was mine. He just smiled down at me. He obviously picked it up when I was napping. I swung it over my shoulder and stomped out of the nurses office. I'll wait in the lobby...

"So. You get sick easily." He said, trying to start a conversation.

"You get annoying easily." I snapped back at him. Okay, that was alittle harsh. But I can't help it! Everytime I'm around him its like I'm a different person. I walked into the lobby outside the office, which was just a few chairs, magazines and plants. Edward plopped himself down on the sofa and patted the space beside him.

"I'm perfectly capable of standing." I stood, fuming. It was raining hard outside or so I could tell from the loud rain drops hitting the roof. I hope it wouldn't make my mom late. Of course, it was a small town and she did leave minutes ago. It wouldn't be too long...

"Sit down, Bella." Edward interupted my thoughts. I looked around the lobby, mentally calculating whether I should run for it and wait outside. Edward wouldn't be able to leave school grounds. But my chances didn't look good.

"I'll just drag you back." He threatened, guessing my plan. I bolted for the door. Something grabbed the back of my shirt and jerked me down on to the couch. My head snapped back onto Edward's lap and I gasped in shock. I glowered at him.

With as much dignity as I could, I sat back up at brushed myself off. I probably wasn't successful. Darn him, he always wins. Him and his little games are unbearable! I was prepared to give him the silent treatment until my mom arrived but I recognized a song he happened to be quietly humming.

"Clair de Lune?" I asked, surprised. I didn't know many kids who liked classical. In fact, he was the only one.

He stopped and smiled. "You like classical music?"

I looked down. "My mom plays alot of classical music in the house. It kinda sticks to ya." He nodded and leaned back onto the sofa. I leaned back too and it wasn't long before he started to hum the song again. I listened and closed my eyes. Little memories of me listening to this before I went to sleep flashed in my head. I began to drift and doze against the hard fabric, then sleep all together.

It may have been either the fact that Edward was huming or that he was right next to me at the time. But right then was the first time I dreamed of Edward Cullen.

--

In my dream, it was very dark and dim lighting...That may have been just the lighting of the school wasn't very bright. I couldn't excatly see his face but I could tell that it was him. We were in a unfamilar forest, although it looked like the forests I past every time I rode to school, there was something different about it. Strange, not right, like something could pop out at any second and grab me. I ran fast though the forest, trying to find something. My mind couldn't process what the something was be I could tell it was important. I raised my hand to push a fern out of the way and something bright a gold caught my eye. I was holding a flag, a long strip of rubber gold. Then I looked up to see Edward and a figure, fighting and the figure was winning. No matter how fast I ran I couldn't catch up to where they were, no matter how loud I called they didn't turn. Pain shuddered up my ankle and I jolted forward out of the dream.

I awoke, not to the hard school couch with Edward by my side, but my own couch in my own house. I sighed and dropped back onto the pillow under my head. My mom walked into the room with a glass of water and a smile.

"Hi, sleepy-head. How you feeling?" She sat down on the edge of the couch and rubbed my hair. For a second, I wish it was Edward's touch.

"I'm fine. I was just a little sick is all..." I murmured and tryed sitting back up. My vision became blurred and black so I slammed my head back on the pillow. I hated head rushes. My mom frowned slightly and then grinned.

"I have a surprise for you." She said and reached into her pocket. I propt myself slowly onto my ellow and craned curiously to where she was digging. She pulled out a golden chain seconds later. I inhaled slowly as she wrapped it around my wrist. I lifted it to my face to examine it more closely.

It was warm. The light bounced and sparkled off the chains as I rotated my wrist back and forth. There was a long band in the middle of the bracelet - delicate and narrow. Diamonds glittered the sides of the band and all across the top. I sqwinted to see the writing on the band, which said Love is golden. I stared in awe at the gift and looked back at my mom. She smiled thoughtfully and softly chained the bracelet to my wrist. I twisted it to stare at it more.

"My mom gave that to me and her mom gave it to her, I think its about time you get it too." She said and patted the bracelet. I was speechless. It was so beautiful and thoughtful. I would keep it on me forever.

"Thanks mom." I said and wrapped my arms around her. She chuckled and hugged me back. It was one of those moments that you saw on TV and the audience would go 'Awww'.

She pulled back, "Oh, and before I forget. Tomarrow we're going to a birthday party in La Push. Its for the son of one of your dads friends."

Happy moment over.

--

We arrived to the party around noon. I remained silent the whole time. It wasn't fair. I didn't even know the kids! It was for some kid named, Seth Clearwater? Who ever he was, he was turning 8 and my dad expected me to pick out a present for him. I spent a hour in the toy store wandering around the boy section. How was I suppose to pick out a present for a kid I didn't know! I ended up following around this other 8 year old and picking what he got. I wrapped it up in the shiny silver wrapping paper my mom got and we left the house at 11:30. I was still half asleep on the whole car ride. Either because my dad woke me up early on a Saturday or I really wasn't excited for the party. I looked outside my window, it was surprisingly sunny out. It shocked me alittle.

When we pulled up to the beach, I saw that alot of people were already there. I held the present in my arms, trying to hide my face in the ribbon on top as my dad introduced us to his friend and his friend introduced us to his friends. I stood behind my mom and peeked out from the side. A few kids were running around the beach, jumping and splashing in the waves. My mom patted the back of my head. I frowned and looked around to find a table to put the present on. There was a table full of brightly colored gifts and balloons. I decided to leave my mom to talking with the others and I slowly made my way to the table.

I was stopped half way by a taller kid. He had long black hair, probably to his shoulders, pulled back with a rubber band at the nape of his neck. His skin was silky and russet-colored; his eyes were dark brownish. He looked 8 or 9 years old.

"Hi! I'm Jacob. Are you Charlie's kid?" He asked.

I nodded slowly. "Uhm, ya. I'm Bella." I mutter shyly and turned around him to put the present softly on the table. I turned back to see him grinning.

"Ya. Me and my friends are going to go play near the water." He said and gestured to the kids playing in the waves. "Do you wanna come? Or would you rather play dolls with my sisters and Leah?" He gestured behind him, I looked past him to see three girls playing and laughing with dolls. I frowned. I was never a doll person except for the times when I was younger and liked to play with stuffed animals.

I turned my gaze back to Jacob and crookedly smiled. "I think I'll go with you." I said. He grinned and excitedly ran to his friends. I jogged after him. His friends looked no different from him. Tall, long black hair and russet skin. The oldest boy looked about 12 or 11 years old. Jacob ran off the names of the boys and repeated my name for them. They all smiled and nodded hello.

We ended up playing in the water all day. I was careful about not letting the water touch my clothes but my pants still got wet and muddy. When we got back to the party area the group of girls had multipied. One of the girls I recionized as Lauren, a girl that went to my school. I waved at her kindly but she shot a look at me so I snapped my hand back down. We sang 'Happy Birthday' to Seth and the parents passed out cake. I was glad the day was going by so fast. But strangely enough, I was having fun with Jacob. He was someone I could easily talk to without trying. I felt happy around him. All the kids sat in our own section, away from the adults.

"Hey Bella," Lauren called at me - in what I think was a mocking tone - from across the fire pit we were gathered in. She was listening to a ipod with one of Jacob's sisters. "I was just talking about the Cullen kids to Rebecca. Its too bad they couldn't come to the party with us. Isn't the Cullen's mom friends with everyone in town?"

"You mean Dr. Calisle's kids?" The tall boy asked, I faintly remember his name as being Sam. He looked like more of a teenager, much to old to be hanging around with kids.

"Yea, do you know them?" She asked and halfway turned to him.

"The Cullens don't come here..." Sam said in a tone that closed the subject. He turned back to the other boys to chat but his statement left me wondering. Something about his tone and how he worded it implied that there was something more about the Cullens and Hales for that matter.

I glanced at Jacob from the side. He wasn't talking with the boys, he was just staring at the sky. I wanted to know so much more, but looking at the older Sam scared me away. I had a sudden inspiration. Jacob was the nicest to me compared to the other boys. The sky was begining to darken, but it was still alittle light outside so my parents wouldn't freak out that much when they realiezed I was gone.

"Lets go walk down the beach." I said and looked up at Jacob. I tryed to use the puppy dog eyes on him like Edward had done to me many times. I was sure that I was doing it wrong but sure enough, Jacob jumped willingly to his feet. He lead me down to the beach. I wondered how I would get him to tell me.

"So..." I started out, searching for the right words. "What was Sam saying about the Cullens?"

"The Cullens? Well...they can't come down to La Push..." He looked out into the ocean and threw a pebble in.

"Why not?"

He glanced at me and shifted his eyes. "Well, I'm not suppose to tell anything..."

I shooted over closer to him. "I won't tell anything. Promise. I'm just curious."

He looked out towards James Island then back at me. "Scouts honor?"

I raised my left hand and smiled. "Scouts honor." Whatever that meant. He smiled back and walked over to a large piece of drift wood. He perched lightly on one side and I sat down too, after checking for spiders.

"I don't excatly know the whole story. There might be more to it then what I know." Jacob started out. "You see, the Cullen family likes to hunt. The Cullens go out hunting alot with the Hales and they take the kids with them all the time. They seem to enjoy it, I think. But one day when Dr. Cullen and Mr. Hale were hunting and they wandered to far into the La Push resevation and shot a cougar."

I widened my eyes, not pretending to be in shock. Jacob watched my reaction and grinned.

He continued. "The Quileute elders were angry about this and they banished them from ever coming to La Push and hunting there."

I looked down. That was interesting but it still left me wondering. It told nothing about Edward and how hes so mysterious and quick and...

"So are you friends with them?" Jacob broke into my thoughts. Though I was glad he did.

"Uhm, ya. I'm friends with Edward." I said. And all of it was true. I really did enjoy being with Edward even if he can be very annoying at times.

Jacob threw his head back and laughed. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Your friends with Edward Cullen?" He chuckled. "Then I should probably tell you something else..."

I tilted my head. "What?"

"Edward Cullen is a vampire." His voice dropped dramaticly then lightened up again. "Well not really. But Lauren is friends with Rebecca and Rebecca goes down to Forks alot to know this stuff. She pays alot more attention to stuff then Lauren does. Everyday after school since the 1st grade, the Cullens and the Hales would bike ride to a secert meeting place in the forest. They call it Vampire Club."

"...Vampire Club?" I asked, trying to get him to continue.

"Ya, but alot of people stole the idea. One of them being Sam..." He trailed off. "He said he wanted to be enemies of the Vampires since he doesn't like the Cullens. So he made up his own club."

"Vampires have enemies?"

"Only one." He said and leaned in to whisper in my ear. "Werewolves."

I stared at him in wonderment, hoping to get more.

"Bella! Its time to go home!" My mom called from the lighted distance. I groaned and stood up. There was some much more to be said. What did they do in the club? Why is Edward so private about it? Why did I have to leave!

"So, Bella." Jacob stood up and followed me back to the crowded party with all the adults staying their goodbyes. "Maybe if my dad went up to Forks we can hang out again."

I smiled. "Sure, Jacob." I wasn't just trying to use Jacob any more. I really did like him. He was some one I could easily talk to.

Drops from the sky were begining to slowly fall and I climbed into the back seat of the car. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back on the seat, trying very hard not to think.

PHEW. Long chapter. D: I hoped you enjoyed it!

All the things in this chapter that you didn't see in the book, they will make alot of sense later on and you'll be glad I put them. xD

I'm so ingrossed in this story I've already started thinking of New Moon stuff! Haha! xD
