Chapter 5.

Jacob's POV

What was taking her so long? If she wanted to get to school on time, she'd better hurry up! Finally, Katie walked out of the house with her backpack and her sketchbook.

"What took so long?" I asked once she was in the car.

"I couldn't find my sketchbook," she replied.

"Why do you need it?"

"You know I like to draw." She smiled as she started on a new drawing. As I was driving, I glanced over at her drawing.

"What are you drawing?" I had to ask. She'd just started it, and I couldn't tell what it was going to be.

"It's a wolf," she said, not looking off her drawing. "See? This is his head."

I could tell then. She had the snout, the nose, and the ear done. "That's pretty good. Where'd you learn to draw, anyway?"

"I learned on my own. I never really had any help."

"That's cool. I can't draw worth crap."

She laughed and continued her drawing. By the time we got to the Forks Middle School, she was about halfway through her drawing. "Will you pick me up after school?" she asked.

"Yeah, of course," I said.

"See ya later, then."

"Bye."

Once she entered the building, I left for my school.

Katie's POV

I headed to the office in this unfamiliar school. It was easy to find since it had a sign that said OFFICE above the door. I walked in, a bit nervous. I'd never liked going inside school offices--they were too quiet.

"Um, I'm Katie Yunek. I'm here to get my schedule," I said nervously.

"Oh. Umm, let me get it." The secretary shuffled through her papers until she found what she was looking for. "Here you are. Here's a planner and your schedule. Tiffany, would you show her where she's going today?"

"Yeah, sure," a girl answered. I turned to where she was standing and felt shock on my face.

"Tiff?" I said in disbelief. How did she ever end up here?

"Alex?" she said her nickname for me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'll tell you on our way to homeroom," she said as she pulled me out of the office into the hallway.

"Well, you know how you had me read those vampire books? And how they were set here?"

"Yeah."

"Well, since I'm a hybrid, I decided to come see if it was true. Then I ended up staying."

"Wait, you never told me you were part werewolf," I said in disbelief.

"Well, I just figured that out when I got here. See, there's this pack of them down in La Push. They're real, too. That's why I'm darker skinned a bit, and-"

"I know about the werewolves in La Push," I interupted.

"How?" she asked.

"Well, you do know about imprinting, right?"

"Yeah. But all except one of the werewolves down there have already imprinted except one last time I checked."

"Well, not anymore. You know Jacob Black?" I asked her.

"Yeah. You mean he imprinted on you? You are sooo lucky. You do realize how unbelievably hot he is, right?"

"I know. I'm kind of living with him now."

"Seriously? That's awesome."

"Sometimes it gets a bit awekward. But it's really great." I started to whisper. "The only reason I'm here is because my family disappeared with only a note a few weeks ago. I called the police and they're still going on with the investigation. I'm not sure what happened to them."

"Oh, my gosh. That's terrible. Have you told Jacob yet?"

"Not yet. I will, though."

"You'd better. It won't be so great if he finds out the hard way. Well, here's our homeroom," she said in a more up-beat kind of voice. She walked me in, and I blushed. I neer liked being the center of attention in a room with more than a few people, especially ones I didn't know.

"Miss Wilson, this is Katie. The new girl."

"Well, hello. I'll be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year."

I smiled a false smile. I could tell this teacher was one of those too nice ones. "Good to know," I said through my teeth.

"Well, sit anywhere you want," she said.

Tiffany and I walked to the back corner of the classroom and sat down in the empty seats.

"So, how'd you get here anyway?" Tiffany asked.

"Emergency money and a plane ticket my mom got for emergencies. It would go anywhere. Good thing I knew Jacob before that happened."

"Yeah. If not, you'd be living with your grandma in Florida."

I looked at her suspiciously. "How'd you know my Grandma lives in Florida? I don't recall ever telling you that."

"Well, you told me once."

"Oh, right. Perfect memory."

"Yep. It rocks."

Another girl in class turned to face Tiffany. "If you have a perfect memory, why don't you get perfect grades?"

"Because I don't pay attention, Trish. Duh. Now leave us alone."

The girl did as she ordered. Sometimes I was afraid of Tiffany because of her strength and anger issues. But, since she was afraid of mud and outdoor water, I could just stick her outside in the middle of a wet field. That would shut her up. For being a hybrid, she wasn't very tall or heavy. Just a bit scary.

The day wasn't actually that bad. I stuck with Tiffany all day, so we had a lot of fun. The worst part was gym because I had to run. Other than that, it was bearable.

Jacob's POV

I got in my car from another boring day at my school. I was anxious to see how Katie's first day had gone. She seemed nervous when she got out of my car, so I wanted to get to her as fast as I could. By the time I was at her school, I saw Katie running out to my car with a girl that I recognized. She was that half-wolf girl I'd met once at a small gathering.

"Hi, Jake. Tiffany says she's met you before," Katie said when she got in the car. That was her name. Tiffany.

"You've met her before?" I asked Katie. It was a bit confusing. And wierd.

"Well, it just so happens that we went to the same school for a few years," Tiffany said.

"Wow. That's wierd," I mumbled.

"Well, what isn't wierd about our lives by now?" Katie said.

"You've got a point there," the other gurl said.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Tiff," Katie said to her friend.

"Bye," she said.

Katie waved at her friend and said, "I finished that picture from earlier. Want to see it?"

"Yeah, sure," I said. I had forgotten about that picture. I was surprised she'd remembered it.

She pulled her sketchbook out of her backpack and opened it to that page. It was a really detailed drawing of a wolf. I was surprised how good it looked, considering that she must have been really busy today. I scanned over the picture a few times, taking in the details.

"That's really good," I said.

"Thanks. I'm happy it turned out so well. Hey, do you know what day it is in a week and a half?"

"Let me think...What day is it today?"

"Today is January 26."

"Oh, it's your birthday, isn't it?"

"Yeah. My fourteenth to be exact."

"Well, we should do something big. Something fun. How about taking a drive out to the cliffs and having a picnic. Something like that, anyway."

"It's gonna be freezing," she said.

"Remember, I'm a hundred nine degrees. Which will probably make it a bit warmer. Plus, we can set up a bonfire or something."

"Oh, I love bonfires!" she said excitedly.

"Well, a bonfire it is, then."
