"Come on, just ignore him."
Kagome nods, and they make their way over to the table. When they get there she notices that there is only one seat open next to Emmett, he smiles at her and pulls the seat out. Kagome turns her nose up at him and grabs a chair from the other table instead, she then wedges herself between Eric and Mike.
Emmett's smile falls a little when she doesn't sit next to him, Jasper notices and leans over to whisper in Emmett's ear.
"What did you expect, you've been getting on her nerves all morning."
Emmett didn't think he had been that annoying that she was now going to start ignoring him, he just wanted to tease her a little bit. Maybe that was the wrong way to go about getting to know his mate.
"Oh you think so?" Edward asks him in a sarcastic tone.
Kagome looks at both Edward and Emmett, she didn't hear Emmett say anything, not that she was actually paying attention. She shrugs and goes back to eating.
And while they are eating, Jessica is sitting there looking between Bella and Kagome. She had been walking down the hall when she heard Eric exclaim that Kagome and Bella are cousins, but she couldn't see the family resemblance. Jessica finally had enough she turns to Bella and says.
"I don't get it, how can she be your cousin, you don't even look alike and she's like from China."
Bella is so flustered by Jessica's blunt comment she can't think of anything to say. By this time Kagome's eyebrow is beginning to tick with annoyance.
"She has a name and it's Kagome." Kagome says, "And not that it's any of your business, but I'm from Japan, and it just so happens that out fathers are half brothers and for your FYI, Bella and I don't have to look alike to be cousins, Baka."
"What did you call me?" Jessica asks.
"I called you stupid."
"What?!" Jessica exclaims.
"Well that was a stupid thing you said, Jess, of course they don't have to look alike to be cousins." Mike says.
"Thank you." Kagome says to Mike.
Meanwhile, Emmett is sitting there trying his hardest not to burst out laughing. He just loves the fact that his little mate doesn't back down from anyone, not even him.
"And what are you laughing at, Emmett?" Kagome asks.
"Nothing, nothing at all." Emmett says holding his hands up in surrender.
Kagome huffs at him, she gathers her grabs her book bag and tray, "I'll see you guys in class." And with that she leaves the cafeteria.
Mike, Eric and Angela get up and follow after Kagome.
"Nice one, Jess." Mike says.
"Way to make the new girl feel welcome." Eric says as he walks away with Angela.
"You guys a didn't mean…" Jessica says then follows after her friend leaving Bella and the Cullens sitting at the table.
Alice looks over at Bella and smiles, "Oh, I really like your cousin."
Bella smiles back, "Yeah me too."
The rest of the afternoon went by smoothly, Kagome quickly forgot about Jessica's stupid comment. Once school was over, Kagome goes to her locker to get her things and heads down to the parking lot where surely Bella is waiting for her. As she makes her way down the hall she senses a large demonic aura at the close to the exit doors and automatically knows that it's Emmett. She had been around the Cullens long enough that day that she could now easily tell by their demonic aura which was which, and it was definitely Emmett at the other end of the hall.
When she gets to the exit she notices Emmett leaning against the building with his hands in his pockets. He sees her come out and pushes off the building, falling in step with her Emmett walks alongside Kagome down towards the parking lot. Finally, Kagome gets fed up with him being so close to her and snaps at him.
"Is there something you want, Emmett?"
"Yeah, I wanted to see if I could give you a ride home." Emmett says with a big dimpled smile.
Kagome looks at him and blinks, "You want to give me a ride home?"
"Yeah."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
Without warning, Kagome starts laughing, she's laughing so hard that she drops her bag in order to hold on to her sides. She starts gasping for air and doubles over, then suddenly she stops. She frowns and takes a step towards Emmett, causing him to take one back.
"I wouldn't get a ride from you, Emmett Cullen, if it were raining cats and dogs and I was being chased by a pack of rabid wolves."
"But-"
"Look, I've already had one jerk in my life, I don't need another, so do me a favor, stay away from me, okay?"
And with that, Kagome turns around and walks off towards Bella's truck.
Emmett watches as Kagome gets into Bella's truck and they drive away, he couldn't believe that she had just rejected him. He stands there with his mouth hanging open when Alice walks up next to him.
"I thought you said Kagome's my mate."
"She is your mate, Emmett."
Then how come she just rejected me?" Emmett asks as he looks down at the little pixie next to him.
Alice smiles up at him, "I never said you were going to have an easy time getting together with her, I only told you the outcome. Besides I told you that you were acting like a jerk today, is it any wonder that she wants nothing to do with you? If you want her, Emmett, stop acting like a five year old and start acting like a man." Alice tells him then she walks off towards Edward's Volvo.
"I agree with her, brother." Jasper says as he walks by and pats Emmett on the shoulder.
