Here is Jake's POV!!!!! I just love him to death! Hope you like it!!

Jacob POV

It was shocking to learn that Jasper, my best friend, was dating Alice, Bella's best friend. And then it dawned on me that it could actually work to my favor. I knew I was right when Alice, Bella, and Emmett came and sat with us today. The table was crowded, but we made it work.

"So...ready for the game tomorrow, Emmett?" Embry asked our fellow teammate.

"Yeah..." was all he managed.

It was weird, considering when we usually talked to him, he was full of jokes. I guess he just wasn't used to the idea of sitting with us. Or maybe his mind was on something else. I didn't question it and neither did Embry.

It was strange that no one was really talking. Well, Quil was talking to Claire, but that was their own private thing. I looked over at Bella. She was actually sitting right next to me. Her eyes met mine and if I didn't know better, she was looking at me the same way I always looked at her. Everyone else seemed preoccupied with their own things. I smiled at her and she answered with a smile of her own.

"So, Bella, are you going to the game tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Emmett would kill me if I didn't."

"Plus you get to see me in action," I couldn't believe how brave I was.

"I forgot to tell you and Jasper about the party on Saturday," she said, avoiding what I had said before.

"What party? Don't you hate parties?"

"Well, yeah, but Emmett is forcing Alice and me to go. Well, I guess not really Alice. She loves parties. It's Rosalie's party. She told him he could invite whoever he wanted. So, he said to tell you that you should go. And Jasper. But that's pretty much a given now. Oh they'll want to ride together. Well, I guess you can ride with-"

"Bells. You're rambling."

A slight blush rose to her cheeks. I loved how when she got nervous about something she rambled on. And on. And on. But it was cute.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. And yeah, a party sounds good."

She flashed me a smile. I felt like I was in heaven.

"So, remember last night? What were you going to tell me?"

A part of me hoped that she would forget about that. Another part wished and prayed she would remember. But, was it time to tell her? No. I couldn't. She would run from me. I knew she would.

"Oh, it was nothing."

"Didn't sound like nothing."

And then the bell rang. Thank you Lord. Everyone got up to dump their trays. Quil led Claire out of the cafeteria. Alice and Jasper went off to theatre together. Emmett, took off in his direction. I didn't know where he was going. Bella, seemed confused. Like she didn't know what to do next. And Embry was at my side. Chemistry was next.

"Bella?"

"Um....well.....see you tomorrow?"

"Sure, sure."

She walked over to me and started to give me a hug. I wrapped her up in my arms. I didn't waste my Bella hugs. No way.

She smiled and I smiled and she took off, headed towards her next class.

I looked at Embry. His eyebrow raised in confusion. I smiled and headed towards class.

"Jake! What was that?"

"I don't know. But I liked it."

"Of course. Bella is seriously beautiful."

I felt jealous at that. He shouldn't talk about Bella in that way. Even though she was beautiful. Bella was more mine than his.

"Yeah. I know."

"Are you going to ask her to homecoming?"

"To tell you the truth, I hadn't even thought about it. When is that, anyways?"

He rolled his eyes at me. It wasn't my fault that Bella and football (in that order) were the only things I worried over anymore.

"Next home game. Hello. Two weeks from tomorrow."

"Oh. Well, maybe I will."

We had arrived at our class and took our seats. My mind drifted to Bella and homecoming. Screw the periodic table.

Ah......I have so many ideas for this and then when I try to write it, my mind doesn't want me to! But, don't worry, I won't give up on it! I never give up on my stories!
