Bella's POV

I heard my alarm clock go off but I didn't want to get up. Today was going to be a very long day. I slowly got out of bed and thought about the day that lied ahead of me. I was excited to see Paul. I would get butterflies every time someone would mention his name. I heart would race. I don't understand this feeling….. Actually I do. I have felt this way before. With Edward. He made me fall in love with him really fast, made me think about him all the time. All I could do was think about him and I closed myself off from the world. I got too involved with him and his family. I thought I had gained another family but in reality I had lost my own. I can't do that again.

I grabbed my toiletries and headed went to take a shower. I came out and got dressed in a simple white v-neck, dark blue jeans and white flats. I went downstairs and found a note on the table. It was from Charlie telling me that he wouldn't be home until late so I should go over to the blacks for dinner. I grabbed a granola bar and my keys and left. School was going to be a pain in the ass today! I wasn't ready to deal with anyone or anything. As soon as I parked my truck in the parking lot Mike ran over to me. "Hi Bella" he said.

"Hi Mike" I answered him with the best smile I could give him without showing that I was annoyed.

"So Bella… a few of us are going to watch a move later. Wanna come?"

"Uhh no Mike I cant. I going over to Jacobs house after school. Sorry."

"Oh that's okay. Maybe another time then? Just you and me?"

"I don't think so. I would rather go with everyone." I smiled at him and walked away. Since I was talking to everyone again he was going to keep asking me out until I go out with him. "BELLA!" I saw Jessica running towards me. "What happened?" I asked her.

"Jacob Black is standing right there with some other really good looking guy and they're asking for you." I knew she was talking about Paul. It had to be him. She told me to follow her and I did. I saw all these girls drooling over Paul and I wanted to punch them. He saw me and smiled. I just looked at him. That little voice in my head kept saying 'remember what happened before Bella. You can't let that happen again.' I slowly walked towards them. I looked at Jacob and said "What?" I flinched at my tone. I didn't even realize that I was angry. "He wanted to talk to you. No. We wanted to talk to you" he said.

"Well here I am. So say whatever it is that you came here to tell me." I was pissed. This guy treats me like shit one day and then the next he behaves like nothing is wrong?

"I'm sorry about what I said yesterday, I really am. Same made me. I swear." He looked sad.

"Is that it?" I asked. He nodded so I turned around and started to walk away. "Bella." he screams. I keep walking and don't turn around. I get to my homeroom and sit in class. He can't come to my school with the boy that I think I like and apologize to me. Who does he think he is? Why didn't Paul say anything to me tho? Why was he even here if he didn't want to talk to me? He was being very friendly last night and now he's being rude? Why? I sat through first and second period and thought about him. When the bell rang, Jessica came over to where I was sitting and said "so what's the deal between you and Jacob Black? And that other guy. Who was he?"

"I'm not talking to Jake cause he's being an ass. And the other guy, umm honestly I don't know why he was here." We walked out together and went to my locker. I put my books away and Jessica shoved hers in my locker too. We went to the caf and found a place to sit. Lauren looked at me with disgust so I said "Hi Lauren. How are you?" with a huge fake smile. She looked even more disgusted and Jessica started laughing which made me laugh too. We sat down and started talking to people when I overheard Lauren say to Tyler, "Oh yea that was Paul. Were on and off, were off right now because I forgot to go over to his house. He can't resist me tho so he'll call me soon." I froze. I can't believe what she just said. How can he be the way he was with me yesterday and actually be dating her? Why would he be doing that? Was he playing with my feelings? Was it happening all over again? I was once again falling for someone I barely knew. I tried to ignore her and went back to my conversation but I didn't say much. I don't know why but it hurt to know that he was hers. I was in physical pain. I don't know why and I don't know how. All I know is that it hurt. A lot. The bell rang and I ran to my next class. I can't do this. I have to stay away from Paul. I have to.

The rest of the day passed by in a blur, I didn't even notice the final bell until everyone started to pack up. I ran out to y truck and then remembered that im supposed to go to the Black's house today. Damn it. I slowly drove towards La Push. When I got there I saw that Jacob was there will Embry – I think that's his name. "Bells?" he said as soon as I got out of the truck. "My dad told me to come here" I explained myself. I didn't want him to think I came here for him. I went inside and found Billy sitting in front of the TV. "Hi Billy" I said

"Bella! Hi, your dad told me you guys were coming over. Where's the old man?"

"He's at work. He should be on his way tho." I told him and sat down next to him. I got bored after a while. "Billy do you want coffee?"

"Sure honey."

I went into the kitchen and started a pot of coffee. I could see Jacob and Embry talking and they kept pointing towards the house. Finally Jacob ran off towards the woods and Embry came towards the house. I was putting the coffee in mugs when I heard "Hi Bella" I turned to see Embry standing there. "Hi" I said and went to give Billy his mug.

I came back into the kitchen to see Embry sitting on a chair. "Do you want something?" I asked him.

"Uh no. Jake had to go do something so I thought I would come and talk to you. Ya'know get to know you and stuff." He smiled at me.

"Okay then" just then I saw Sam, Jacob, Paul and that other guy – Jared – come out of the woods. "What is it with people disappearing into the woods and then popping out of them? Is there like a secret hideout in there or something?" I asked Embry. He just laughed and said "No Bella. It's just faster to go through the woods."

All the boys came into the house and then into the kitchen. Sam came over and gave me a hug. "Hey Bells. How are you sis?" he asked.

"I'm fine Sam. Well as fine and I can be"

"Bells we have to tell you something."

"Okay I'm listening" I told him.

"What do you know about our legends?" he asked me.

"Umm why?" I asked. "Just tell me Bella" he said.

"Jacob told about you guys being descendants of werewolves and about vampires and shit."

"Do you know what the Cullen's were Bella?" Jacob asked me. I glared at himand didn't answer. "Bella come on –"

"Shut up Black! Sam if he asks me anything I swear ill kill him" Sam looked at me and then at Jacob, then he said "Jacob shut up"

"Do you know what the Cullen's are Bella?" Same asked me.

"Yes" I whispered. Half the boys looked shocked but not Sam.
