It had been almost five week. Jacob was honestly getting nowhere with Raven she really didn't seem open to letting him in and had a shield over herself now that she knew who he was for some reason. He thought maybe he was trying too hard to move so fast so he decided to be her friend and work his way from there. He sat in Math class listening to Mr. Belk drone on about triangles and what not. He saw a piece of paper land beside him and he opened it.
Isn't this class boring?
Jacob looked over to see Raven smirking at him. He picked up his pencil and began to write back
Yeah he's pretty boring
He threw it back at her and smiled
I don't know how anyone could sit here and listen to this guy talk. I already learned all of this in London we were WAY past this.
Jacob smiled and looked around to see no one was paying attention to them
Class is almost over; I think Imma ditch school for the rest of the day and go to the beach or something.
Omg. You have to take me with you. It's not fair if you get to go out and have a real life. I didn't even have to come to school this year. In London I'm technically out of high school.
Jacob looked over at her and smiled and nodded and she smiled big. As the bell rang he got up and walked over to her.
"Shall we ditch?" She asked smiling
Jacob nodded "Now I can show you show some American past times"
Raven smiled and followed Jacob out to a shiny motor-bike. She looked at him wide eyed "This is yours?"
He laughed "yeah of course here" he handed her the helmet and got on. She sat on behind him "don't kill us okay?"
Jacob felt a surge of pleasure as she wrapped her arms around him as he pulled out and onto the road. He sped off down the road and felt her cling to him for dear life and yelled something that he didn't make out and smiled and continued down the road. They ended up pulling into the parking lot of a McDonalds. "Ever eaten here?"
She laughed "Of course. It McDonalds"
He shrugged "ok fine want anything?"
She shook her head "It's only 9:45; I've already eaten like 35 minutes ago"
He shrugged and started up the bike "Then want to go to the mall?"
Raven frowned "Where is it?"
"Seattle" He smiled back at her. She made a face and shrugged
"How about the beach?" she said smiling. Jacob nodded and pushed the bike to go and they zoomed off.
They pulled into the peach parking lot seeing no one was even there and headed out into the cold black sand. It was starting to get chilly here in Washington was winter was almost here. Raven was wearing a pair of long dark jeans and a short sleeved blouse, her hair was pulled up into a bun and she wore black coverts. Jacob had on a black jacket and blue short-sleeved T-shirt with a logo on it and plan jeans and a pair of black sneakers. They walked down to the water and sat on a log next to an empty fire pit.
"Hey Raven" Jacob said looking up at her. She looked over and smiled "yeah?"
"The pack's having a bonfire this weekend and they want you to come"
"Oh what's that?" She asked smiling.
"where we all gather up all the pack elders and we tell the stories about our tribe and culture" Jacob said poking at the black sand with a stick.
Raven nodded "Okay. I don't want to intrude though if it's your tribe thingy"
"It's ok, we've had outsiders before, so you're not the first and plus if we're going to be protecting you. You'll want to know our past" Jacob said smiling.
She nodded "alright I'll come." She looked around and smiled "Let's build a sand castle!"
Jacob looked up as she got up and ran down toward the wetter sand and got on her hand and knees and began to dig into the dark sand piling up. He laughed and walked down joining her rolling up his sleeves helping her build.
