(A/N: hello, all! Sorry for the late update, but, FOOLISHLY, I was waiting, wondering if I'd get my desired amount of reviews. *pout* Didn't happen. Well. What can you do, eh? So, you guys should know that sometime soon, I'm gonna take a vacay. I forget the day, and I believe I'll be gone for a week…it's a family reunion and I'll be driving there. With my family. -_-' Wish me luck. LOL. In the next chappie, I'll tell you for sure when I'll be gone. So, special thanks to: .wolves, Gryffindor Gurl2, and Harriet Fields. YOU GUYS GET FROSTED COOKIES! And, also, where, oh where, have my usual readers gone? Have you abandoned me? One more thing: I have a poll about Insomniatic going in my poll, so please take it! Arigato! ^_^)
Cammie's POV.
I froze. I was completely and utterly shocked,
The bell rang, and the students and teachers began filing out.
Danny let go of me, smiled, and walked off.
I managed to look at Jacob.
Jacob Black was wearing an expression I'd never seen before in my life. It was a mix of anger, definite anger, and something I couldn't comprehend. He was shaking, and my eyes widened. Not here, not now.
I looked into his eyes. The warmness that was there before was gone, and he looked like a completely different person.
I yanked Jacob out of the classroom quickly. What should I do?
"Jake," I said, "calm down. Please."
He was breathing deeply and his teeth were bared. This was not good. I looked around the hallway. No one was watching. I gave him a huge hug--I had to be careful, though. PDA wasn't tolerated. (I'm assuming that Mrs. Ferguson gave Danny special treatment because he's a drama kid.) Even though Jake and I weren't dating, who knows what they'd think?
Jake was still breathing deeply. We had 4 minutes until classes began. I broke away from him and thought. What would make him happy?
"I hate Danny," I managed quickly.
He blinked a few times, then asked, "what?"
"I hate his guts," I said. "Ew. I'm so weirded out. I'm never speaking to him again."
He blinked some more and shook his head. "See ya, Cammie." and just like that he walked off to class. Confused, I made it to my next class, too. Trigonometry. Ugh. Kill me now.
I sat down next to Embry and Quil, who smiled at me. Obviously, they didn't know about the Danny thing, or they would've questioned me.
I paid attention in class, but it was still a bit difficult for me. Math--of any form--wasn't exactly my best subject…though I always got a B in it.
After trig, my eyes scanned for Jake, or Danny. I needed some answers out of the both of them.
I saw Danny first, and I yanked him off to the side.
"Danny, what the hell was that?!" I demanded.
"What was what?" he retorted.
"Don't play stupid!" I said. "Why did you kiss me?!"
"I was acting." was his reply.
I threw my hands up in the air. "Bull! No one's that good of an actor! Not Brad Pitt, not Will Smith, no one!"
He smirked at me. "But what if I am?"
"You're not!" I hissed.
He grinned. "So what are you saying? That I'm in love with you?" he chuckled. Then he reached out and ruffled my hair. I jerked back and shot him a don't touch me kind of look. He grinned even wider. "I think Cammie's got a crush."
My eyes widened. Me? Like him? "Fuck you, Danny! Fuck. You!" I shook my head. "I can see why people don't like you. You're an arrogant, annoying son of a bitch!" I turned and started walking away. He grabbed my arm.
"Wait," he said.
I looked at him.
He frowned and looked sincere. "So…maybe I do like you."
He let go of my arm. I turned to face him. "This is no time for maybe! Do you or don't you?!"
He blinked. "Okay, I do."
I stared at him for a moment. I looked at the clock hanging in the hallway and saw that it was lunchtime. "I have to go meet my friends," I pronounced carefully, indicating that that group didn't include him. I turned and he grabbed my arm again. "What now?" I asked icily.
"Is it…is it Jacob?"
My eyebrows furrowed. "Is what Jacob?" I screeched.
"Is Jacob the person you love?"
That question caught me off guard. I don't love Jacob! He's my best friend!
I couldn't bring myself to say that out loud. "Who the hell are you to be asking me such personal questions?" I tore my arm away and I scattered into the lunchroom.
"Where's Jake?" I asked, plopping down with my lunch tray at the table where the pack and Kim were.
"Dunno. He said something about cooling off." Quil replied, shrugging, and I sighed. I sighed and started eating my sandwich. They all exchanged knowing glances. They must've heard by now.
"So now you know the real Danny," Kim said quietly.
I rolled my eyes, nodding. "Unfortunately."
"Hey!" a high pitched voice said. I turned to see a girl hovering over me. She was average looking. She had shoulder length light brown hair and brown skin. She had green eyes and a pointy nose. She had a little bit of freckles.
"Can I help you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I heard Danny kissed you," her shrill voice rang out. "I'm Danny's future girlfriend so you leave him alone!"
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."
She gasped and stormed off, clearly angry that I spoke to her like that.
After a bit of awkward silence, after they'd told me that that girl was Lucy, head cheerleader, and the snottiest girl in school, Kim's hand flew to her mouth and she said "Oh my God!"
I looked at her across the table, then I followed her gaze…
To see Jacob. And Lucy. Together. Kissing.
What. The. Hell. Is. Going. On?!
I stormed over, everyone's eyes watching. I looked around--the teachers gave us the lunchroom all to ourselves in honor of the first day back. Perfect.
"What're you doing?!" I demanded.
They broke away and Lucy winked at Jake. "Call me." she danced off towards her table and I contemplated following her and snatching that fake-ass hair out of her head!
"What was that?!" I asked Jake.
"She kissed me!"
"Oh, right, right! She just decided to walk up to you and kiss you!"
He threw his hands up in the air. "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID!"
"Well, you made no move to stop her!"
"Just like when you made no move to stop Danny to kiss you?!"
I gasped. "Oh no you didn't!"
He rolled his eyes.
"So, what, is she your little girlfriend now? You gonna start bringing her around?"
"She's not my girlfriend and she never will be! The only person I ever think about is--" he stopped himself.
"Who, Jacob, who? Who is she?"
He pressed his lips into a tight line.
"Well?" I snapped. "Who?"
He looked across the lunch room. Kim came up to me and grabbed my arm.
"Cammie, calm down, please…let's just go outside or something…"
"No!" I snapped. "I'm tired of you guys always keeping stuff from me! You guys always have something to hide and secrets to keep from me! I'm sick of it! I'm so freaking tired of it! So, Jacob Black, if you ever want me to speak to you ever again, you will tell me who she is right now or I will leave you alone for the rest of my life! I won't even spit in your general direction!"
"It's you, Cammie, it's you! There! Are you happy?! THE ONLY PERSON I EVER THINK ABOUT IS YOU!"
(A/N: Ooh, juicy, juicy, juicy! I hope you liked it! Now, questions: what do you think of me doing a spin-off of this series? I'm NOT done with the story yet, not by a long shot, but I'm just wondering…I need five reviews! Review! Add to story alerts! Add me to author alerts! Add my story to C2s! Arigato! ^_^ PS: I've been obsessing over "Decode" by Paramore. Love it! )
