Chapter Ten
The rest of the week went good. Coach was ecstatic to hear we could join the team, and he quickly order two jerseys' that said J. Black and S. Black. Everyone bonded with Maggie very quickly, and she became another member of our family. Maggie and I chose to go to the movies for our date, as it seemed human.
Today was Friday, and we were in English. Today, Mr. Beardface actually gave us costumes, so I looked ridiculous in the get-up.
"Do I really have to wear this?" I complained. "It doesn't even fit all the way."
"Part of doing the play is dressing for the part, Mr. Black." Mr. Beardface said. "In order to get the full grade, you'll have to do everything I say." He smirked. "I suggest you be wise and wear it anyway, or else the spot on the football team will be open again."
"Okay, Mr. Beardface." I said, and grabbed the plastic sword.
"It's Mr. Beardfacé."
"Whatever." I cleared my throat. "The date is out of such prolixity. We'll have no Cupid hoodwink'd with a scarf, bearing a Tartar's painted bow of lath, scaring the ladies like a crow-keeper. Nor no without-book prologue, faintly spoke after the prompter, for our entrance. But let them measure us by what they will we'll measure them a measure, and be gone." Every time I spoke as Benvolio, Maggie would just stare at me, and be amazed.
When class was over, I threw off the stupid costume and headed to the door, where Maggie was waiting with my bag.
"So, are you able to hang out after school?" She asked, playing with a strand of my hair. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too." I said, kissing her on the lips. I told her about her need of watching the venom in her mouth, as it could kill me, so we have been taking it slower now-a-days. "But, no, I can't. I have football practice, and we have a scrimmage game." I said, and I stroked her cheek. "Don't worry; soon, we'll be able to live happy and long lives."
"Very, very, long lives." She said, and caressed my lips with hers. "I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Okay, have a good Friday." I said, and went to the locker room.
"So," Jake said, taking off his shirt and replacing it with the gym uniform. "How are things between you and Maggie?"
I smiled. "I think I might be in love." I said, and I put on my gym uniform. We walked out into the gym, and Jake stopped me.
"Remember Megan?" He whispered in my ear.
"Of course, I do. I can't forget my imprint." I said, and tried to walk past him, but he held me still.
"How are you even able to be with her? Once you imprint, you can never see any other girls' face again." He said, staring at me with his brown eyes.
"Relax." I said, and walked off to the line.
Gym went over okay, except for the fact that Jake kept trying to stop me from seeing Maggie. He never used his Alpha tone though, so I was free to do what I pleased.
When the bell rang, Jake, Brandon (who became a linebacker) and I were waiting for the rest of the team to show up.
"So," Brandon said, walking over to us. "No hard feelings?" He stretched out his arm. I looked over at Jake. I plopped myself on the ground, and brought my arm up.
"Nothing a little arm wrestle couldn't fix." I said, and pointed down at the ground.
"You're on!" He said, and plopped on the ground in front of me. He brought his arm up, and our hands clasped each others. "Dude, you're hot. Like, my hand is just sweating from holding yours."
"Look, Brandon and Seth are having an arm wrestle." I heard one of our team members say. Soon, the whole team was surrounding us. Jake held our hands at the top, just in case one of us wanted to cheat.
"Okay, gentleman, I want a good clean fight." Jake smiled at me. "Do you want to place any bets?"
"Yeah, if I win, Seth has to quit the team." Brandon said, smiling.
"And if I win, Brandon has to join the school choir." I said, and the guys around us did a chorus of "Ooo!"
"Bring it." Brandon said, and I felt his arm flex.
"On three." Jake said. "One…two…three." At three, Jake lifted his hand up, and I could feel Brandon trying to push my arm down. I gave a couple inches, only intentionally so that Brandon would think he had the upper hand, and Brandon smiled. I brought my other arm around my face, and yawned, patting my mouth with my hand. I moved my arm a little, and I gained about 5 inches.
"And, if I win, you have to stay in the choir for the whole year." I said, and I flexed my arm. He lost a couple more inches. I decided to be nice, and not let the game go farther, so I brought my arm to the ground, winning the match.
"Shit." Brandon said. He got up, and flexed his hand. "I think my hand may be broken." I got up and inspected his hand.
"Naw! It's just bruised!" I said, and I patted his shoulder.
"Boys!" The coach yelled. "Tonight is our scrimmage game against Midway High School." He came into view, and we all lined up. "We win this game, we will have a good start of the season." He smiled. "Inside the locker room I have your jerseys. Go put on the gear, and we'll test them out."
Everyone ran in to see purple jersey's in our lockers. Helmets were given, and they gold. When I had my stuff on, Jake laughed.
"What?" I said, talking over the bite-guard.
"You look ridiculous." He said. He grabbed something that looked similar a bowl, and tossed it.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Real men don't need cups." He said, and he slammed his locker. I followed him out.
"Mr. Henry, try and stop Mr. Black from passing the ball." He pointed at Brandon, and then pointed to the field.
"Which one sir?" He asked, and the coach laughed.
"The quarterback, genius!" The coach slapped him on the back.
"Defense, try and take out the offense line. Offense, try and make a run." The coach said, and everyone went over to the field. The Offense group huddled up, and we made our plan.
"Seth," Jake said. "I'll throw the ball to you. You'll need to run to the 90 yard line, which is 40 yards, and try to catch the ball. Everyone else, make sure Seth can get to the position. Wildcats on three. One…two…three."
"Wildcats." The whole offensive line said. I ended up at the right end of the line, and I was getting myself ready to sprint.
"Hut, hut, hike!" I heard Jake say, and I ran to my goal. I was looking at Jake, and just as he was about to throw the ball, Brandon ran straight into him. The coach blew his whistle.
"Move people." He said, and I ran back towards the 50 yard line. Jake was on the ground, holding his crotch. "Black! What's wrong with you?"
"It hurts." Jake groaned. I pushed my way to the front.
"Who looks ridiculous now?" I said, and snorted. "Real men do need cups!" I laughed.
"Black! Get your ass up and put your cup on." When Jake got up, the coach slapped him on his head. "You should know better than to forget to protect a man's equipment!" He turned to me. "Seth! Did you forget yours?"
"No sir!" I knocked on the front of my pants, and you could hear the sound of plastic. "I know the importance of cups, sir!"
"Very well, then." Coach said, and the rest of practice wasn't as funny as earlier. We won the scrimmage game, 21-6. When we got home, Esme made two steaks for us, and we happily dug in.
The next morning, I woke up to see Alice staring at me.
"What do you want?" I asked, and covered myself.
"You've been talking in your sleep, and I was the only one brave enough to come up and face the wrath of, and I quote, 'Morning Seth!'" She said 'Morning Seth' in a tone they use for monsters. "Were you having nightmares about Luke and Megan?" She asked, and her topaz eyes twinkled.
"No, why would you ask that?" I asked, and rubbed my eyes. I was still in my boxers, so I didn't bother getting up, not with Alice in here anyway.
"Because you kept saying, 'No, Luke, don't do this!' Over and over." She said. "Oh, Esme wants to meet Maggie."
"I was planning on bringing her over anyway. After our movie." I said. "Now get out, I need to get dressed!" Alice giggled and flew out of the room, shutting the door behind her.
I quickly got dressed, and saw Nessie and Jake sharing a stack of pancakes, topped off with whip cream, in the kitchen.
"Morning," I said, and grabbed a plate of pancakes. Nessie tossed me the can of whip cream, and I gladly drowned my pancakes in it.
"So, Seth, what movie are you and Maggie seeing?" Nessie asked.
"My Bloody Valentine." I replied. "Maggie isn't squeamish about gore, so we picked a scary movie. And if she gets scared, she can always hide in my shoulder." I smiled.
"Jake, I wanted to see that." Nessie said, turning to him.
"I thought Seth should go see his movie first. Sorry if I upset you baby." Jake kissed her cheek.
"It's alright." Nessie moved her mouth to his.
"Okay, I need to get out of the lovey-dovey house." I said as I finished my pancakes. I pushed away from the breakfast nook. "Emmett!" I yelled, and Emmett came into the kitchen, holding a military salute.
"Yes, Mr. Clearwater, sir?" He said, not removing his salute.
"I need the keys to the jeep." I said, wrapping my arms behind my back, like a general probably would.
"Yes, sir." He said, breaking off from the salute, and whisking away to get the keys. He was back in another second, and flicked the keys to me. "Hey, Jake, wanna play some Call of Duty?" He asked.
"You're on." Jake said, running to the XBOX.
"Men and their toys." Nessie said, rolling her eyes. "Alice, want to go shopping?" Everyone laughed. "What?"
"When does Alice not want to go shopping?" I heard Edward say as he walked in. "Say hi to Maggie for us."
"Can do," I said, and I started up the jeep. I drove to the meadow, where Maggie was waiting. She ran to the jeep as she heard me stop, and got in the passenger seat in a quick second.
"So, where to?" She asked, smiling.
"Movies," I said, and I drove to the closest movie theater.
My Bloody Valentine was a good movie. While in the theater, I wrapped my arm over her seat, and she leaned against my shoulder. After the movie, we were preparing ourselves to tell my 'family.' Maggie wanted to just walk in as herself, but I said that it would be better to show her changing.
"I don't see why I have to." She said, slumping against her seat.
"It would be much more shocking if you just came in, with the same body they saw you in 10 years ago. Not to mention, they believe I went on a date with Maggie, so they'll be like 'What the hell.' Don't worry, I promise they won't hurt you." I said as I kissed her head.
"Okay, I'll go with what you say, Seth." She said. "I want to do all the talking though. And make sure you keep your thoughts not about me. I don't want Edward to find out before everyone else." She said, and then I knew we got within hearing distance. I could hear Esme talk.
"I can't wait to meet her." Esme said. "She's brought life back to Seth."
"Yes, she reminds me of Jacob. After Edward left, Jacob brought life back to me." Bella said.
"Aww, shucks. You're gonna make me blush." Jake said, and they laughed. I pulled into the garage, and I started to sing Jingle Bell Rock in my head. We walked into the living room, and everyone was waiting.
"Maggie, it's so nice to meet you." Esme said.
"Actually, I've already met you before." Maggie said, smiling.
"Really?" Esme looked away. "I must've forgotten."
"No, I know you remember, because I know a vampire remembers everything." Maggie smiled again, and everyone was shocked.
"What do you mean?" Jasper asked. "Do you know about us?"
"Of course. I know that all of you are vampires, with the exception of Nessie, Seth and Jacob. Nessie is half-vampire. Seth and Jacob are shapeshifters." Maggie crossed her arms.
"How do you know about us?" Emmett asked, and I saw him look at me. Edward kept staring at me. Dancing and Prancing, in jingle bell square. In the frosty air. What a bright time, it's the right time, to rock the night away. Edward raised an eyebrow, and I continued singing.
"Before I show you, will you promise not to get too upset?" Maggie said, letting her arms drop at her waist.
"Yes, we promise." Carlisle said.
"Okay then," Maggie smiled, and closed her eyes. Soon enough she transformed into Megan.
"Megan?" Everyone said simultaneously.

A/N: Woo! Long chapter! On Microsoft Word it's 7 pages.
Thanks again to my step-dad, which I got more info of football on.
I got the idea of Jake-no cup from Gridiron Gang.
Um…okay, when you review, tell me whether the Cullens should be upset, or if the Cullens just accept her.
Until next time!
