Chapter 3: Friendship boundaries
It's been two weeks since I began working at Forks high, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying it, the first time I entered the school, I knew it was way out of my comfort zone, after the weeks past, I got use to it and I fell in love with it. I found out briefly that Forks was where my father and mother first met so it was also awesome being in the same building as they passed through. Jessica and I are closer ever since these few weeks, I feel like I can trust her with anything and that's saying a lot, and I feel she's the one person I can confide in because she's practically been in the same positions, even relationship wise, and my mother is just well… being pregnant. She's everything you'd expect from any pregnant woman, she has a small yet very noticeable baby bump, she is very hormonal which Eddie and I always tease my dad about it(because he has to deal with the shots she calls), she's got weird food fetishes and her diet is out of control, and she's also got that natural glow aura of her which made her magnificently beautiful, so you'd say she was like ordinary pregnant, the Cullen's we're very excited for the new addition to the family especially Caroline, well what do expect from a four year old who loves new things,
Jessica and I were having a lunch break enjoying each other's company when I caught the sight of someone familiar walking by the school hall, he's russet tanned skin, jet black hair, wearing tight shorts with Forks written on it, a Forks staff tank top and a whistle hanging across his neck down his torso. I gasped, Jacob Black
"What?" Jessica asked me as she came to a halt. Was that Jacob Black?
"W-who was t-that?" I said stuttered between the words my eyes still locked on Jacob who was having a conversation with a teacher, Jessica followed my gaze
"Oh" she said with a light chuckle "that's Mr. Black, the football coach for the school. You know him?" she asked me, but I didn't answer, my eyes were still fixed on him
"Um…We've gotta go" I told her. She furrowed her eyes in befuddlement; I didn't have time for an answer so I just turned my back and headed to my class room
"Oh-Kay…Is there something wrong?" she asked from behind, I stood still when I came across my door and took one glance at Jacob who was about to turn his back, I quickly got in pulling Jess in "Whoa! Hold onto your tails there Re-Re" she said using the nickname she gave me
"I know that guy" I said slowly and dropping the blinds to my see-through door. She chuckled
"Yeah of course you do, you're part of the staff and he's practically the hottest teacher on campus" she said with an eye roll and a chuckle
"No I mean…I know him know him" I told her, she had confused eyes "Like I've met him before I came here"
"No I know that… I'm just confused as to why it's such a bad thing" she said more of a question. I sighed
"He doesn't know I work here…Ok let me start from the beginning." I began and she sat on a stool looking quite interested in this conversation "I met him at a mall one and a half months ago, and ran into him at my party…well more like spilled into him" I said with a soft snicker, she awaited for me to continue "Long story…and long story short, we kind of had a chance to get to know each other and I might have, kind of slipped that I work at the Forks Academy, I tried to impress him because he use to be a pro footballer and he owns a Mechanical company garage. So you'd say he has no complete idea I work here" I told her slightly embarrassed by my lack of mistruth
"First off, Wow. Second, what did you mean by you spilled into him and third, well played on the lie well played, god I wouldn't have pulled that off" she said muttering to herself at the end. I rolled my eyes
"Yeah I know, I really thought I wouldn't meet up with him again and now here he is working in Forks freaking High!" I said slightly raising my voice
"Ok I see, you tried to impress him, you met up in three unexpected places, and now here he is working in the same building as you" she said counting them down "Wow…small world" she mumbled again to herself, I rolled my eyes "So what are you going to do about it, I mean you can't exactly hide from him all year" she said
"I'm sure as hell going to try, I can't meet him like this, let alone let him find out I was lying all this time" I sighed
"You can't run away from him Ree, he won't judge, Jacob is the most understanding guy I know, he's going to find out" she said like it was obvious
"Oh I know he will, guess what's even better, he knows my entire family as well" I said, her eyes widened "Hey Girl…This may mean something" she said getting up from her seat, I shrugged "this is destiny and faith telling you that his your soul mate who you'll make beautiful love to and little mini me's with" she joked at least I think she did. I rolled my eyes anyway
"Yeah you wish and gross Jess! I'd never-…" I said trailing off and she raised her eyebrows
"Mmhm…" she hummed to herself, I just chuckled and rolled my eye at my crazy friend "Well all I'm saying is you better confront him and tell him the truth, or he'll find out the hard way, and knowing him, he'll understand. And it's not like you're particularly buddies right?" she said I shook my head "So get your shit together and confront that sexy ass man and tell him" she mumbled suggestively
"I'm sure Michael will have something to say about what you just said" I told her with a little tongue twister. She chuckled
"He won't bite, he's my monkey man" She said with a low sexy growl. I looked awkwardly at her and she just smiled "So you're still up for clubbing later right?" she asked me. Jess and I were going to a club near Port Angeles tonight just to have fun, and we'd be meeting up with Michael and his chumps. I nodded "Good and where something pretty" she said eying me as we began to make our way out of the classroom
"Oh yes I will" I said with a light chuckle, just picturing my aunt Alice picking out the various outfits she'll choose for me. As we opened the door we checked if the close was clear, and sure enough it was embarrassedly.
"But I really don't see why you're so worried about him I mean, it's not like you you're best buddies or anything" she said with a light laugh. She caught onto my silence as her eyes widened
"You what" She exclaimed and I quickly shushed her, she apologized "But I don't see the problem here, I mean it's not as if you like this guys or anything right?" She asked but I didn't answer "Oh my fuck you do!" She exclaimed-whispered
"No, what makes you think so" I chuckled. She raised her eyebrow at me as to say 'I don't believe you'. I sighed and crushed myself on my chair "I mean I don't know..."
"It's obvious you are Rene, and it's okay but I see that you're worried because you're afraid of what he might think of you" she told me "Jacob is the most understanding guy I know, and he'll get over it I promise, he will find out eventually"
"Like hell I'm gonna let that happen" I said
"It's not like you're in love with the guy, you said it yourself that you'll never fall for a guy after…and if Jacob can't accept this then screw him" she assured me and I nodded. What she said wasn't entirely true, I don't really know my feelings towards Jacob but there is something there
"Yeah you're probably right" I sighed
"Oh I know I'm right" she laughed "Come on, the maniacs will be taking their thrown soon" she said referring to our students
"Yeah, see you" I told her as she hugged me and left to her class. I took one sigh and headed back into my class room. The bell went off right after and the kids started piling in
Time flew by and it was the end of the day. After my last class I got all my things ready and made my way to the parking lot. I was stopped by the warm pairs of hands wrapped around my waist. I was startled at the sudden touch
"Hey Ms Cullen" the husky voice of who I knew all too well of. I gasped
"Jacob! I'm...uh" I stuttered through the sentence feeling slightly ashamed. He just laughed
"Surprised to see me, I'd say the same about you" he guessed
"Oh look, Jake I'm sorry-" I began
"Hey it's okay, and besides... I knew way before you even came here" he told me "Emmett wouldn't stop ranting about it" he laughed. I silently cursed at my Uncle
"Now I am completely embarrassed, sorry I lied" I said shying away from his stare. He shook it off
"So how is Forks high school treating you?" He asked as he accompanied me to my car
"It's decent I guess, it's challenging but I'm all for the game" I told him
"I'm glad because you're by far the prettiest one here" he said. I blushed scarlet red "So, how about we do something tomorrow, watch movies, or just chill" he asked me as we stood by my car his hand on the hood of the car and he's muscles flexing as he carried his sports bag. My breathing trembled at the sight
"As in like a date?' I asked
"Oh no, I mean if you want it to be... I was just thinking we could hang out and just get to know each other" he said with a cute smile
"Um...sure" I replied and he beamed a smile. What am I thinking? I can't go out with Jacob Black. But my heart was telling me to rip this guy up and take him right here and then "Actually, Jessica invited me to this party tonight so how about there?" I said. Was I going nuts?! Or maybe it's just my sexual drive going high whenever I see him in tight gym outfits…
"Great I'll pick you up at 20:00ish" he suggested
"Um...Yeah sure" I said with a smile and a shrug. He smiled widely at me
"Can't wait" he coaxed. I blushed "So you're friends with Jessica Thompson huh?" he laughed
"What's funny?" I laughed along with him
"She's sort of crazy you know" he joked. I nodded
"Sort of doesn't cut it, but she's a good buddy" I joked rolling my eyes. We carried on talking for about 30 minutes before I declared my departure "Well I think I better hit the road" I said opening the door to my car
"It was great seeing you again Ness" he said looking down at me with a gorgeous smile "I'd really like to see you again" he murmured bending down closer to my face
"Um, yeah I feel the same way" I mumbled as he got closer his lips millimeters away from mine. My breath hitched and he pulled away
"I'm sorry" I apologized
"No I was too forward, I'm sorry" he said and stepped away from me "I...I'll see you tonight?' He guessed. I nodded and got into my car and pulled out of the driveway of the school and one my way back home...
As I got home-my new home which I moved into a few days ago. I bought a two bedroom apartment downtown Forks. It was a really cute small apartment yet sophisticated for my needs. I opened the refrigerator in something to drink and nibble on (I really need to go grocery shopping this weekend). I grabbed the leftover Pizza I had with Jess last night and a can of Dr. Pepper and designated my way to my living room. I switched the TV on and scrolled through a series of channels until I settled with Vampire Diaries. I never really liked Vampire Diaries because I always thought that Elena/Katrina girl was a bitch and vaguely indecisive on which hot guy to choose…I'd go for Stefan (not that I'm fan) but I always thought he was a hottie
After my early snack, I decided I'd freshen up for tonight. I took a forty-five minute shower like I always do and changed into the best outfit I could find. Unlike my mother, I like fashion…most of the time, but I wouldn't go overboard like my Aunts, I'd like to feel comfortable in the clothes I wear
When I was done with dressing up I quickly checked the clock. gave me exactly fifteen minutes until Jacob came to pick me up. I quickly got into my internet just to check my recent e-mails when I heard my doorbell ring. I got off the couch and walked a little too eagerly to the door. I checked who it was even if I knew exactly who it was and opened the door to see Jacob standing totally hot in his buttoned up shirt and a dark brown leather Jacket, navy blue padded jeans, his hair pulled back in a tiny ponytail-which was by far the hottest thing ever- and had a small tattoo on his left neck of a name written in italics. I was practically gawking at him. I was glad I wasn't the only one
"Um…Hey…Sorry I'm a little late, Renesmee you look absolutely…gorgeous" he mumbled staring at me up and down with his mouth practically open that could attract flies at any moment. I blushed red. I was wearing a cocktail tight dress which released my curves, three inch stilettos boots and a leather jacket "If I'd known you'll be dressing extravagantly…I would've worn better" he smiled widely at me
"Oh I'm sorry, is it too much?" I asked embarrassedly and lightly ashamed
"Oh no you're perfect…" he stuttered with his gorgeous smile that was too contagious
"Um… I'll just go get my purse" I declared and invited him in and told him to make himself at him. He got in gladly and smiled
"Really nice house" he admitted as he stared at the interior. I smiled slightly and got into the room. After grabbing my purse I checked myself in the mirror and put some breath mint in my purse and applied some lip gloss on before heading out of the room
Jacob was fiddling through my CD set of all my favorite artists "Really good music set here Ness" he complimented as he searched through my Daft Punk, Muse, Pop etc, Elle Goulding, Sting, Shakira, Bruno Mars and Linken Park collection "Jay-z?" he asked with a light chuckle
"Oh that's my brothers when he came to visit" I admitted and he just smiled and placed them back on the shelf
"I guess we better get going then, you ready?" he asked genuinely. I smiled and nodded. After locking up my apartment we went to his car and he opened the passenger seat like a gentleman. Then drove us to the club in Port Angeles
