Chapter Seven - Heather

I waited. Waited. Waited. I was outside for about 20 minutes now. People were staring at me. I was outside, alone, without Jacob. I decided to give him 5 more minutes. Tick, tick, tick. It passed 5 minutes. I went to look in my backpack for my phone. Then I realized I forgot my math text book for the homework assignment today. I grabbed my bag and walked back into the school.

I headed straight to my locker, trying to pass people without knocking into them. While I was turning the corner I saw them talking. I saw Heather 'flirting' with my Jacob. I hid behind the wall to make sure they couldn't see me. I wanted to know everything. I didn't want Jacob to lie to me when I confront him.

People were screaming and running in the hall. It weakened my hearing a bit. But I could hear most of the conversation.

Heather put her hand on Jacob's arm and started to giggle. Jacob didn't seem to care or notice. Then she got closer to him.

"You have big muscles." Heather said, batting her eyes.

"Thanks," he replied acting like he already knew that.

I wanted to gag. She was trying to get Jacob and she was trying too hard. She knew she couldn't have him because of me. Her efforts were pathetic.

"Hey, you doing anything this Friday?" She asked, still batting her eyelashes at him.

"Isn't that the day of the dance?"

"Yeah, it is. I was wondering," she hesitated to see his reaction, "if you wanted to be my date."

I wanted to growl but too many people were around. I could not reveal my secret just because of my anger.

"I don't know," he shrugged. "I might go with Renesmee."

She was silent for a moment, in shock I guess. I knew she was jealous of me. I wanted to rip her up for 'flirting' with Jacob. That may be too harsh, but who cares. I admit, I am jealous.

"she told me she wasn't going though." Heather said, trying to convince him to go with her.

Jacob pursed his lips together. He looked as if he was thinking too hard. Should I just walk up to them and intrude their conversation? No, I would let him decide. It's his decision.

"I'll tell you first thing tomorrow. I need to talk to Nessie first." He said and instantly Heather's face became moodier. This was my chance to 'accidentally' bump into them.

I walked up to Jacob's side. "Hey," I said causally. I tried to smile, but I just really wanted to leave. I put my arm around Jacob's waist and stood by his side. He put his arm around my shoulder. He smiled and looked at me. It took him a couple of seconds for him to notice that Heather was still there. Her face turned pink and I knew she wanted to pull my hair out. I pulled a smile out with that thought.

"We should go now." Jacob took my arm that was around his waist and held my hand. He waved bye to Heather as he led me to my locker to get my text book.

He then led me to his car. He unlocked and opened the door for me.

"Thanks chauffer." I joked.

He bowed, "Anything for you, Princess."

We both laughed.

We were in the car and I needed to ask him some questions.

"What were you guys talking about?" I asked biting my lip.

"Me and who? You mean Heather?"

Of course, I thought to myself. "Yeah. She was talking to you in gym, when I nailed her in the head, and when school ended." He laughed when I reminded him about the incident in gym.

"Just dance stuff. Do you still want to go?" He asked as he parked the car in the garage. I hadn't realized how fast it took for him to drive us home. I didn't answer and he opened the door for me.

"No." I did want to go, but it would be too soon for us. "Did she ask you to be her date?" I frowned.

"Yep. She did." We were walking into the house now. "But I told her that I would talk to you first. I dropped my bag on the couch as I walked in. Then I ran up into my room.
