To all my readers, I'm sooo sorry I took so long to update,

School just ended and I needed to finish a couple of things before I got back to writing.

So I have news:

1)I'm going to start writing to new stories

a-'Place your bets'

b-'Bella and Jacob=Mommy and Daddy' (still working on that title, you guys can send some sugestions if you want i'll apreciate it)

2) In this story, Jake is already a teen! Yay!

Dont start fantasising yet, it's still the cute Jke from Twilight (I'm not on the New Moon phase yet)

So now imma shut up and let you read...

ENJOY!

It's been seven years since my mom died.

Seven years.

A lot of things changed.

For example, my sister Rachel went to college in Seattle. She does come sometimes and it's always good to see her. Rebecca, she did what she promised: last year she met this hawaiian surfer at First beach and 'fell in love'. So she pratically turned down her fully payed scholarship to college and ditched to move to Hawaii with Ryan when he proposed to her. She doesn't visit often. But she calls.

Dad is still the same. He' still hanging a lot with Charlie who's been a bit lonely too.

Oh yeah, I forgot: Bella moved with her mom to Phoenix. Her parents got divorced so she left. She was crying her eyes out when she came to say goodbye. I was sad, that's sure. But I didn't cry...Psst.

So this year I'm a sophomore. Pretty cool anh?

Thankfully, me, Quil and Embry will be together because I wouldn't be able to go trhough the year without those two.

It still felt lonely not having my mother around. I mean, she was the one one who would help me get my stuff ready for the beginning of the year. And now, my dad thinks I'm too old to be helped and too lazy to do my shit alone.

Yes, I said shit.

Being around Billy, Charlie and Quil doesn't help my vocabulary. My dad doesn't seem bothered when I talk like a dirty sailor but he says 'Just don't talk like that to the ladies.'. I totally rolled my eyes when he said that.

"Jake, I don't want to kick you out of the house, but I think you should leave now if you don't want to be late for your first day." Billy shouted from the kitchen.

I looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall. 8:15 am. Yeah, I should be leaving.

"Yeah I think so too." I said as I stood up to pick up my messanger bag." See you later." I headed out the door with an apple in my hand.

"Have a nice day. And tell the boys I said hi." And I knew that 'the boys' were Embry and Quil.

"Sure. Thanks." I answered.

The walk to the Quileute Reservation High School took me about 10 minutes. Considering my new lean and long legs that I grew into during the summer.

Seriously, thinking about it now, I'm 15 and I'm 5' 9; but still skinny.

Well, maybe it's not that weird cuz a few other guys around the rez are too tall for their age. Like Sam, Leah Clearwater's boyfriend: that guy is 20 but a freaking giant at 6' 3 or something. And all muscle. That one is defo on steroids. Then there's my neighboor Jared. He's 17 and he's starting to build soe muscle. I once asked him he worked out and he told me no, it was 'all Quileute natural'. Then he eyed me from head to toe and said 'You just wait a couple of years yourself...'. I didn't get what that meant so I forgot about it.

But I was still impressed by the changes on my body: the round biceps on my arm, high cheekbones. I even have a six pack! The ladies will looove Jacob Black this year.

As I arrived to the school, I pulled my hair into my usual low pony tail.

I spotted Embry and Quil talking to some girls at the entrance. I had noticed these days that they had grown too.

Quil was already buff but the new additions got him hyper and he was excited to start showing off. And as he had quoted himself, 'Dimples and hott body equals girls all over you.' Good old Quil, always a ladies' man. I always laughed at this when he says it. But apparently, this philosophy of his doe work. Not only on the sophomore girls but on the seniors as well.

I walked past Quil that was about to kiss the girl he was talking to, and hit him in the back of the head. I heard an 'ouch' and smiled.

"What the fuck was that for Jake?" Then he whispered. "Can't you see I'm about to score here?"

He turned round and flashed a smile to the girl who turned beet red.

I walked towards Embry who was dismissing the girls he was talking to and giving him one of his movie star smiles to which the girls giggled like little school girls.

As he joined me we joined knuckles and laughed at Quil who was angrily kissing the girl.

Suddenly Embry froze. I felt is hand on my shoulder and hear him say:

"Dude, check her out." And he nodded to the people in front of him.

I turned around to see the one and only goddess of the Quileute rez, the one who I've had a crush on for the last 7 years or so : Leah Clearwater. God she is FINE!

She was talking to her brother who was holding her shoulders and nodding his head. That boy was what? 13? And almost as tall as his sister. This reservation has some major growth spurt issues.

Leah finally nodded before hugging Seth. He placed his fingers under her chin and she flashed him a perfect smile.

'God if that could be me...' I thought.

"God if that could be me..."

Wait, did I actually say it out loud?

I turned to my left to see Quil looking at Leah while biting his lower lip and narrowing his eyes.

'Ouf, Quil said that. Hold on again. That doesn't make it any better. She's MY girl.'

I was mad for Quil's lil comment but oh well.

"Dude, you were eating that girl's face a while ago!" Embry reminded him my pointing to the girl who was happily telling her friends about 'the beautiful, passionate kiss' she had with Quil.

"I know, but she didn't look like Leah." Quil said back with a tone that shouted 'duhh'.

"Be quiet you two, Seth's coming" I hushed them.

"Hey guys!" he said as he reached us with a smile that could make me and Quil run for our money. He would a heart-braker by the time he got in high school. And let's not forget, he had 'The' dimples.

"Seth! My main man!" Quil shouted as he high-fived Seth and tapped him in the back. Is that guy ever going to change? With that tone coming from Quil, we could all guess (even Seth) that he wanted help to hook up with Leah.

"Hi Quil. And no, I'm not hooking you up with my sister."

See, I told you.

Quil blinked twice and smiled.

"You're getting good kid." he said as he patted Seth in the back.

We all laughed.

The bell rang. Seth headed out to the middle school building while me, Embry and Quil got in and parted to our classes.
