Oh so a walk-thruis the process in which one goes back to school before classes starts in order to pick up their class schedules, take ID pictures, turn in their emergency cards, buy some of the school supplies sold by the school. It probably has a different name at other places.
Thanks for the reviews, we're back at havingseven reviews in one chapter and I hope it stays the same or increases =D I'm glad you guys like the relationship between Vivian and Jake. I really tried my best to make it more than just she "wants him for his body" XD
Green-NaNa-Neko89, I'm glad you found at least one song that was of your liking and that your enjoy the story.
DareBare13 and Stephanie is amazzing, you so understand the relationship between Elijah and Vivian. I see they're relationship as a siblingone. They're close in age and did live together when they were younger so they are close. The closeness has given them a level of comfortableness that they go at each other'snecks though but then again which brother and sister isn't like that XDElijah's just such a complex character that I could write a whole story on him.
br-girl, Vivian staying at La Push permanently is something I didn't think about, well see how it goes…she already stayed once but it was only for a month and with the intent on staying for only that month. You'll just have to wait and see. =D
Disclaimer: I only own Vivian, her family, Russell, Caroline, George and the story plot. That's a lot.
We all got in my jeep and I pulled out my I-pod from the compartment in the jeep. Back where I lived I would never risk leaving it there overnight, let alone days there but here in La Push it was safe enough, plus having wolves the size of bears guarding my aunt's house probably helped.
I found the song I wanted, played it and drove off. It was Bad Romance and I couldn't help but sing along as the guys rolled their eyes at me, making me sing louder.
"We should have gone on Jacob's car." I heard Embrygrumble.
"Suck it up." Said Jake.
"It's Lady Gaga!" Complained Quil. Jacob inhaled.
"I know." He said looking like he was in some sort of pain. "But I'd deal with listening to the whole soundtrack if it meant I'd get to spend it with Vivian." I looked at him through the corner of my eye.
"Thanks…?"
"Wow, deep." Said Quil.
"I just don't get you imprintees, I just don't understand what it means to truly sacrifice oneself for the loved ones." I sighed at their stupidity and clicked the shuffle button just so they'd shut up. Mi Pecadostarted playing.
"Oh this is much better. I can understand what they're sayingfar better than that Gaga." Said Quil.
"So true, what kind of lady is a Gaga anyways?" Said Embry.
"Since when do you two speak Spanish?" Asked Ana.
"Since we took Spanish one." Said Embry.
"Two times." Said Ana.
"In order to further expand our knowledge in the language." Said Quil.
"That's called Spanish two." Said Ana. "What's the song about then, if your knowledge is so vast? I'll even be nice enough and give you guys a clue, it's called: Mi pecado."
"It's about…pecking…" Said Embry.
"…peaking…" Said Quil.
"PICKING!" Said Embry.
"It's about sinning you idiots." I said, unable to take it anymore.
"Ooooh." Said Embry givingme a wink.
"Not like that!" I said, rolling my eyes at him. "It's about a guy and a girl that are in love with each other but they can't be together…basically star crossed lovers status and it's basically them singing to each other saying that their love for each other, or them literally, is their sin."
"That was my next guess." Said Quil. I heard someone smack him, most likely Ana.
When we got to the school the small parking lot was full. I groaned. I looked at the line starting from the parking lot to the gym, I sighed.
"If you want, I can stand in line for us while you find a parking spot." Suggested Jacob, noticing my distress, sitting in the passenger seat. I nodded.
"Sure." I said, I dropped him off and found the closet parking space, a street away.
Ana, Embryand Quilgot off with me and we walked towards the ID picture line where I had dropped off Jake.
"Hey Quil!" Said a person I didn't recognize.
"Hey!" Replied Quil.
"Hi Embry and Ana." Said another person. They all started talking and I decided to ditch them and go find my man and stand in line with him. As I got closer I noticed three girls surrounded him, they looked just like the Plastics from Mean Girls, just Native American version. They were wearing all pink and had enough make up on that could put a clown to shame.
I could tell they were flirting with him, one of them especially kept on twirling her hair and she was insanely too close to him for my comfort. He was just looking away, smiling softly and nodding his head.
I narrowed my eyes but decided to go with my most charming smile and strutted my way over, using my long and skinny chicken legs for something useful. I went up to him and had my back to the girls. I did my hair flip, hoping it smacked the girl in the face.
"So I finally got a spot. I didn't remember so many kids at this age could drive." I said in a high pitched voice, with feigns cheeriness. He narrowed his eyes at me but smiled down at me.
"That's probably because most of the "kids" had their parents bring them." He said. I felt myself flush and just laughed it off.
"Oh yeah, that's probably it." I said feeling like a complete idiot.
"And you are?" I turned around and saw the girl, that had been making moves on my man. Seeing as she was insignificant I decided she would be It One because she wasn't worthy of a name. It One had a hand on her hip and was pursing her lips.
"I'm Vivian. So Jake-y are you having fun socializing with your schoolmates? Me and my colleagues reminisce our high school years all the time, those were good days with the ability to be so carefree." I said standing next to Jake and smiling up at him pleasantly. He furrowed his brows and scratched his head.
"I…guess you can say that." It One gave me a dirty look.
"You have colleagues?" She asked.
"Why yes, you get them when you work hard and strive for greatness to get into a highly looked upon institution of higher education. Though, few do make it." I said looking at her pointedly, a smile still plastered on my face. She scowled momentarily until she smiled at me as forcefully as I was.
"If you're in college then what are you doing here?"
"I'm in a university." I corrected her. "I am hereas a supervisor for my cousin Ana Barbara." I said pointingat Ana who seemed to beatingon Embry. I looked back up at her and smiled at her. "And I'm also here to be with my boyfriend." I said grabbingJacob's hand and intertwiningit with mine.
I saw her smile falter, then she smirked. "Aren't you a little too old to be dating a high school boy?" I mentally groaned; I should of known she'd take the opportunity to point that out.
"Actually, he's eighteen and I'm only nineteen." I said; I smudged the truth before a bit.
"Your nineteen?" Asked Embry, rubbinghis shoulder. I felt my cheeks turn pink but tried to force it away.
"Yes." I said, not mentioningthe fact that I went around sayingI was twenty because my birthday was late in the year, November fifth to be exact. "And yet I'm a junior at UCSC." I said.
"You are?" Asked one of the girls friends, It Two. "I've always wanted to go there. I saw brochures and it looks so pretty, plus California is so…it."
I smiled. "It is, I've lived in California all my life. I love UCSCtoo, a beach and a forest in a small, and yet, popular city."
"We have that too." Said It One, nose up.
"Except for the popular part." Said It Three, I think I needed a new name for them because the It's only went up to two.
"Anyways, Jacob I didn't know you had a thing for old women." Said It One.
"Actually, I've been noticinga pattern." Said Embry. I turned around and glared daggers at him, I turned back around and smiled at her.
"It must be because he's not into petty little dolts that high school girls are. He likes his women to be sophisticated and with the capability to have a complete conversation with him that isn't just about what so and so wore, or what so and so did." I said smiling down at her.
"More like he's into wrinkly pale looking girls."
"No, he's into women, which have no zits on their faces and have sun kissed skin, not burnt." I said.
"Yeah, being black is overrated." Ana said.
"I'm sure Ana didn't mean any offense by that." Said Quilto Jacob. Jacob wrapped his arm around me.
"Nice seeing you all." He said leading me away from them. I didn't even look behind me to see if the rest were following. I had a smug smile that would probably forever be etched on my face.
"So tell me, what was all that about?" He asked, whispering into my ear. I shuddered at the heat and…his deep voice filled with amusement.
"Nothing." I said innocently, smiling pleasantly up at him. He rolled his eyes.
"It reminded me a lot like of this morning…"
"Pishposh." I said wavingit away.
"You were jealous…weren't you?" He asked. I could almost picture his smirk at realizing he had finally had gotten me jealous. I refused to look at him and give him the satisfaction.
"Of course not, jealousy is for petty little high school girls that aren't comfortable with themselves so they overreact and get clingy and- you selected me because I was mature and an adult."
"First of all, I didn't "select" you," He said using air quotes. "That makes it sound like I selecteda fish from the market or something. Second of all, that's not why I'm in love with you." I felt myself stop breathing. He said it. I felt my face turn red.
"And third of all, I knew you couldn't be twenty because the math was wrong. I just turned eighteen and if I remembered from before, you always turned a year older to separate us by two years right before every thanksgiving you would come over."
"Ah yes, you caught me." I said raising my hands in the air. He rolled his eyes.
"Shouldn't you go back in line to take your picture?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"The others are in line and I don't want to go back if it bothers you that girls are talking to me." I closed my eyes tight, face red.
"I don't want you to stop talking to females…just…well she was obviously flirting with you and you just took it!" I said lamely. He furrowed his brows.
"They were flirting with me?" He asked. I felt like banging my head on the wall.
"Yes!" I said.
"Oh." He said, realization washing over him. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
"Your just too adorable." I said hugging him.
"I thought we decided I was too macho and manly to be adorable."
"No, you decided that."
"Same thing?" He said hopefully. I shook my head grimly. He sighed and looked at me smiling.
"So Viv, you should understand that I only have eyes for, that I just can't see another girl the way I see you. It's like…physically impossible because I imprinted on you remember." He said looking at me in the eyes. There was something about his eyes that every time I looked at them I felt lost with the world and there was nothing other than him and me. I was completely okay with that.
"Oh yeah." I said, face turning red. I felt like I had been stressing out for nothing, being with Jacob was different than all my other ex boyfriends. There was no need to "mark my territory"; just by the way he looked at me I could tell, that was more than enough.
I sighed. "Okay, we can go back." I said smiling up at him. He smiled back at me.
"Alright." He said giving me a kiss on the cheek. We walked back to the line, hand in hand.
I dismissed any dirty looks I received by girls. Once the group took their pictures and got their ID'sthey started showingthem off to me. Embryclaimed that he looked, by far, the hottest; Ana claimed that the lightingwas all wrong makingher look too pale, Quilsaid that in his you could see his large biceps but I liked Jake's the most, he was grinning. He told me he was thinkingof me when he took it.
We walked into the cafeteria to buy the supplies and while there I saw Rosemary.
"Hey Vivian." She said walkingto me while wavingand grinning.
"Oh hey Rosemary!" I said, waving back at her.
"What are you doing here?" She asked me, pushing up her glasses from the brim of her nose.
"Oh I just brought these boys here and Ana to have their walk-thru." I said. She made an "O" with her mouth.
"I'm guessing you're here to do your stuff…" I said. She smiled and nodded.
"Yes. Are you guys getting your supplies too?" She asked. I nodded. "Oh then can I stand in line with you all?"
"Of course you can." I said. We waited in line just talking. She looked over, past me. I did as well. Her eyes were looking straight at Jacob who was laughing at some Ana had said.
"So have you two realized about your feelings for each other?" she whispered to me. My cheeks turned red and my hands started flailing.
"What are you talking about?" I asked in a high pitch voice.
"Are you two dating now or what?" She asked. I laughed nervously.
"…yeah…" I said. She sighed looking down. Two seconds later she looked up and smiled at me.
"I knew he wouldn't be for me, at least he's not Caitlin's either, she's been trying to snatch him since he got taller…and more built in." She said, pushing up her glasses again. I bit my bottom lip and decided to inhale and count to ten. One…two…three…four…nine…ten…ready or not here I come. I smiled at Rosemary.
"Oh well, sucks for her."
"Oh there she is now." Said Rosemary, eyes wide and holding a piece of paper, that she had been holding, up to hide her face. I decided to do the same with the list of supplies paper. I took a sneak peek and my eyes widened as I saw the Plastics.
"Which one is Caitlin?" I whispered, though I had a feeling in my stomach that I knew who it was, or maybe it was just the pop tarts didn't go well with my system.
"She's the one with the longest hair." She said, I took in all their hair lengths and what'dyou know; the one with the longest hair was It One. I groaned.
"Your so much better." Said Rosemary patting my shoulder. "Plus, he's never paid attention to her so I doubt he will with a girlfriend like you." She reassured me. I couldn't help but smile at her. I put down the paper.
"Thanks." I said hugging her. She stiffened, probably at the surprise but she then hugged me back.
"Your welcome." She said when I pulled away; she was smiling at me. It wasn't until now that I realized she had braces on. I took in her appearance, she had baggy ripped jeans and a t-shirt on and her glasses were far too big and thickly rimmed.
"Can I get your phone number? I want to hang out with you sometime soon." I said. She furrowed her eyebrows that needed major tweezing. I took a mental note of it
"Uh…sure." She said digging into her lime green purse. She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. She used her hand as support and when she was done she handed me the piece of paper.
"Thanks. It'd give you mine but I never use it and I don't know my aunt's house number by memory." I said sheepishly. She nodded.
"It's fine." She said.
"Come on Vivian, it's our turn!" Said Ana. I waved at Rosemary and walked up to Ana. There was an elderly woman sitting at a table with papers all neatly organized.
I handed the lady the paper and the money and she handed Ana her P.E. outfit and lock.
"Thank you." I said smiling as Ana walked started walking away. I ran to catch up to her.
"Hurry up, everyone already finished and they threatened to leave without us." She said
"They can't leave without us! I have the keys!" I said holding up my lanyard. She rolled her eyes.
"Jacob is a pro at cars, I don't doubt he can hot wire one." She said.
"He wouldn't leave me!" I said running as she walked. She might have had short legs but she sure as hell could walk fast, must be the she wolf in her…that's in the closet, open up and set her free.
When we got there I saw Jacob sprawled on the driver side of the outside of my jeep and Embryand Quil tryingto pull him off. I whistled to get their attentions until I realized it came out to quietly but all three of them turned to look at me nonetheless.
"Hands off the jeep!" I yelled at them, my index finger raised and glaring. They got off my jeep with their hands up in the air.
I shoved them aside to get into my jeep and they all did the same. I drove everyone to my aunt's house they would have to suck it up and walk home, which to me would be a lot but to them is less than a lap of work.
First thing I did when I got inside was connect my phone to the charger and make a phone call. It was on it's second ring when she answered.
"You called!" Said Alice happily.
"Yeah and do I have a plan that I know you will love." I said, an evil "muah haha" grin on my face.
"Oh, do tell." And I did. When we hung up I made a quick call to reserve a date.
Once I finished I went downstairs to make somethingfor dinner. When I put the chicken pieces in the fryingpan I heard the house phone ring. I grabbed it and answered, puttingit between my ear and my shoulder so I could continue cooking.
"Yellow!" I said, cheeringly.
"Hola Vivian." Said my mother. I stopped stirring momentarily.
"Oh…hey 'ama." I said, continuing my stirring of the chicken.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing and if you found a place to live…and when you were coming back to California." She said with a sigh that didn't escape her lips.
"Um…well I'm fine and I called the housing office and they said that they were no longer accepting applications due to budget cuts. Caroline hooked me up though with some of her friends, sisters, that were getting an apartment together. It has two rooms and they agreed to share one so I got one by myself. I can take the bus and get there in five minutes."
"That's good. Are you going to be able to afford it though?"
"Yeah with the financial aid I received...plus we're dividingthe pay by thirds. So I'm coming back on the twenty fifth so that I can go home, wash my clothes and pack up some stuff and then head out the next day to move in…if I can…?"
"Your cutting it a little close there aren't you? You start school on the twenty seventh."
"Yeah but then again…when don't I procrastinate?" I said, though we both knew it wasn't because I was lazy.
"Alright…quidate. Te quiero."
"Okay. Te quiero también." I said. She hung up and I did the same. The chicken was ready so I started making the rice. I had finished making it and was waiting for it to be cooked when the phone rang again.
"Domino's Pizza, how may I be of service?" I said, bored after cooking.
"By telling me if you're busy on Friday." Said a voice, I could already imagine the grin on their perfect lips.
"Well it depends on what my boyfriend wants to do…" I replied, bitingdown my lip to prevent from grinning.
"I think he wants to go on a date with you." He said, his husky voice just for me.
"Oh really?" I said, surprised.
"Yes."
"Why didn't he tell me this himself?" I asked, biting down harder to stop the laughter from coming out.
"He thought that you might be to busy checking him out to listen." I cocked a brow.
"Okay." I said sarcastically. "He's not even that hot."
"Yes he is, if I was a girl I'd so do him." I almost chocked back from laughter.
"Why are you even talking in third person?" I asked.
"It's what all the cool kids are doing." Jacob responded. I narrowed my eyes, a smile on my lips.
"I'm not doing it so obviously no cool kids are doing it."
"Wow, someone'sfull of themselves." He said; I could picture him rollinghis eyes. "So are you sayingI'm not cool? That means your datingan uncool kid." He said, in a matter of fact voice.
"Your not cool because…your hot!" I said bs-ingan excuse.
"Yeah I know." He said.
"Your so cocky." I said.
"I know." I could picture him winkingat me jokingly. I looked up at the white ceilingto stop myself from laughing.
"Whore."
"But I'm your whore."
"So what time Friday?" I asked getting back on topic.
"Oh yeah! How about five thirty I pick you up?" He suggested.
"'Kay." I said, a grin plastered on my face.
"Bye, I love you." He said. My heart stopped beating. I shook my head and regained focus.
"Bye!" I replied in a high-pitched voice and hung up the phone.
Author's note: So I'm seriously loving Jake's and Vivian's playful relationship. It's pretty fun to write but I like writing some of the serious stuff in their relationship too.
Where do you think their date will take place and/or will involve. I have an idea but suggestions are more than welcome. Tell me them in your review! =D
