Lucy's POV

Ugh so here goes another day in the dreadful town of Forks. It's Monday so that means school once again. But on the bright side, at least I have Taylor to brighten up my day. I've decided I'm going to try to fix things with Taylor. Maybe he'll give me another chance? I haven't heard from him since our date on Friday after Jake ruined everything.

I got dressed and went downstairs, grabbed breakfast to go and off Bella took me to school.

"So, have you talked to Taylor since-" Bella asked me hesitantly.

"Nope, I haven't heard from him since our date." I wasn't making eye contact. I just wanted to get this day over with and see if me and Taylor are still "friends" like he said we would be.

"Lucy, are you going be okay?" Bella is always worried about me, and I'm not complaining it's just I wish she would leave this one alone. I can get through this my self.

"Bella I'm fine. Just drop it."

"Ok."

I went into first period, just the normal Monday morning, when-

"Hey Lucy!" I heard. I looked over to see…. Jake?

I just looked at him. I couldn't process any of this in my head. What was Jake doing here? He didn't go to school here, so why was he here?

The bell rang that second and I didn't say anything to him, I just walked to my seat, with a confused look on my face.

I had so much going through my head I didn't even notice Taylor next to me.

"Um, hey Lucy." He looked at me smiling.

"Oh hey Taylor." I looked at him for a moment. Then I laughed. "Sorry, I was just thinking, I wasn't really paying attention to anything around me"

"I can see that." He said giggling too. "I can also see that Jake's here.."

"I know." I said and that confusion came back to me.

"So why did he decide to come here all the way from La Push?"

I wish I knew. I didn't answer his question and for the rest of the period I just sat there thinking about why Jake was here. What did he want? He made it clear enough that he didn't want me, that he had a "girlfriend". Why did he decide to come here all the way from La Push? Does his girlfriend come to this school? Something was going on here and I was going to get to the bottom of it.

The bell rang and I hurried out the room, Jake came chasing after me.

"Lucy, wait!" He said but I avoided him. He finally caught up to me.

"Lucy!" and he grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"What are you doing here Jake?" I wasn't going to be so nice to him anymore.

"Why are you trying to avoid me?" He asked, fully ignoring my question.

"Jake, What- are- you- doing here?" He just looked at me.

"I don't know, hot girls?.." He hesitated and laughed nervously. I just rolled my eyes and started walking, when he stopped me again.

"Lucy, wait. I'm sorry, it was just a joke." He gave me his puppy dog face, which has always made me weak in the knees. But this time I wasn't giving in.

"Look, I came here because- I want us to be close again. I never see you, and when I do everybody is always budding into our business in the house. So I thought- why not come to Forks high and I can see you everyday, and things can get back to normal with us and we can be friends again, like the old days."

He seemed so innocent. He was telling the truth, and I can see where he's coming from. But the reality is, I really like Jake, and if he just wants to be "friends", then it's not going to work. He's messed with my mind too much already. He doesn't like me yet he doesn't want me to be with anyone else. I just gave him one more looked and started walking to 2nd period. But this time, he didn't stop me.

At lunch I walked in to see Jake and a couple of other guys sitting at a table. He's already made friends I think to myself. I went over to my usual spot where there was Taylor and the usual gang.

"Hey." Taylor said.

"Hey, what's up?" I said back.

"Not much, so are you feeling better? You weren't your usual self today."

I just giggled to myself.

"Does it have anything to do with that Jake kid? Is he bothering you?"

He seemed pretty concerned about, as everybody else has lately.

"Oh, Jake, no." I smiled. I didn't want to start talking about Jacob and Taylor saw my discomfort and quickly changed the subject.

"So, a couple of us are going down to the beach this weekend for a bonfire. You want to come?" I like how Taylor sticks to his words. That even thought our date didn't go so well, things wouldn't change between us.

"Sure sounds good." I say. "So everything's cool with us?" I ask nervously.

"Lucy, of course! Would I ask you to come this weekend is it weren't?" He looked at me with a smile.

"I guess" I said smiling back at him. Taylor was just such a good guy. He's the type of person I should be with. I shouldn't of had messed things up with him. Stupid Jake I thought to myself.

So Bella picked me up after school, and when I told her about Jacob coming to Forks High she was just shocked.

"Are you serious?" She said in disbelief.

"Yah. He says he wants to get closer and that he cant do it in the house because everybody is always in our business and that he wants things to get back to normal like the "old days"." I quoted that.

"ah." She sighed.

"What ah Bella? What am I going to do?"

"There's nothing you can do Lucy. You just have to suck it up and go on with it."

"That's it? that's all you have to say?"

"uh yahh. Lucy, I thought you liked Jake, why all of a sudden you want to be so distant from him?"

"I don't know… cause he doesn't like me."

She just stayed quiet. Does she know something I don't know?

"Well- you have nothing to say?" I was starting to get impatient with Bella's quite games. She used to be a better advice giver before she got married.

"Nope." She said, and the rest of the car ride home was dead silence.
