accidently went from 1st perspective to 3rd last chapter, that has been changed, along with the spelling mistakes at the end.
Jacob Black was a sweet boy. I called him Jake. We hung out after school, sometimes just us, sometimes with his friends (Embry and Quill), sometimes my friends (Nicole and Parker, mainly), and sometimes all together.
He called me Carrot Top, and told me that boys didn't find gingers cute. I would roll my eyes, and remind him that he had hair longer than mine.
My parents liked him. They thought he was so mature for his age (I was two months older), that he was so nice, and so proper, and so polite. "He's such a good influence on you!" My mom gushed, like two hours before he wasn't trying to convince me to shave my head, or that I was really meant to be goth, or any crazy thing his mind cooked up.
I was sat across from Nicole and Parker, Jake on my side. We were eating at The Lodge one Thursday afternoon when none of us had school (teacher Inservice day), because Mr. Black went with Chief Swan, and offered to take the four of us with them. They were a booth away.
"Edward Cullen tried talking to Kate again today." Nicole gossiped, popping a french fry into her mouth. "He's like… obsessed with her.
"I just ignored him." And I did. He walked up to me, once again trying to get me to spill on how I knew his family's secret, and I just covered my ears and went 'BLAH BLAH BLAH I CAN'T HEAR YOU' until he got the hint and left me alone.
Jake made a face, reaching over to steal one of my fries, and I swatted it away. I told him he should have gotten fries with his burger instead of a salad. He doesn't even eat salad. But he said he was trying to be healthy. "The Cullens are all freaks."
"I wouldn't talk to the Cullens," I turned her head, looking towards Billy Black. "They've got an unpleasant reputation."
I blinked. I knew what the man meant, but what an odd way to phrase it. Chief Swan grunted. He was eating a steak. "The Cullens are some of the best behaved kids I've ever encountered —" And the two of them were lost in their own conversation.
"Weird," Parker noted, though he didn't seem too bothered. It seemed that I was the only one who really felt uncomfortable by Mr. Black's interruption. Even Jake returned to his food with little hesitation.
