Oh My gosh! I can't believe that I have delayed so much on updating this story! I'm really a terrible person.

Anyway, I finally did update, even though it was 3 o'clock in the morning (meaning it's probably terrible).

However, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

"It was the weirdest thing," I was telling the pride.

I had arrived and was instantly attacked by Kate who took her cans of corned beef and guarded them with her life. Heidi had announced that dinner was ready and we all sat down and stuffed our faces with whatever was on the table. That was when I started explaining the store situation to all of them.

"To be fair, Brooke, nobody really cares about this dude unless you impressed on him," Liam said teasingly.

I stuck my tongue out at him then continued, "I'm being serious. I swear he could easily be one of us. He was just as tall as Liam and he looked like he could take on a tank and win. And that's not even the weirdest thing."

"He's single isn't he?" Lisa quipped. Kate snorted into her corned beef but tried to cover it up with a cough.

I rolled my eyes. "No. He smelled weird. Like he smelled like a mixture wet dog and sweetness, almost sickening."

Liam put a hand over his heart. "He smells bad! Oh hark, I can no longer live because this hot man doth reek of gruel!"

I started to smile. I suppose it was stupid of me to think about Jacob. Or his smell. But something was still eating at me.

Josh laughed and flicked some mashed potatoes at him.

"Dude, you really need to stop watching medieval themed movies. You will never get a girlfriend."

"It wouldn't matter if he was a history nerd or not," I interjected, "He wouldn't get a girlfriend either way."

"Very funny you guys. We will see what you say when I go on a hot date someday," Liam said.

"A night spent watching Angelina Jolie movies doesn't count," Lisa said calmly has she put another bite of food in her mouth.

We all laughed and I looked over to Will. He wasn't laughing at all, in fact, he seemed kind of pale, which was weird. Heidi had noticed his stony state and touched his shoulder. He looked at her then looked over at me. It was then that I realized that the rock in my gut about Jacob wasn't so far fetched after all.

I woke up the next morning to the sun in my eyes. I didn't want to admit that it was Monday, but when my mom came in announcing breakfast, I quickly got over my denial.

I was excited for school because of the new kids that were going to be there. Being in a small town, new kids was almost like having the President visit. I wondered if they were all like Jacob or if he was just unnaturally large because of genes.

When I walked into homeroom I immediately scanned the room for new faces but there was nothing. My friend, Amanda, waved me over. I went over and sat down in my usual desk.

"Morning," I mumbled.

"Did you hear about the new kids?"

"It figures that would be the first thing you would say to me," I responded, "No 'Hi, Brooke, how are you? How was your weekend? Did you have-'"

"Fine, fine. How are you? How was your weekend? Did you hear about the new kids?"

I sighed. Amanda was the only friend I had that actually knew about the pride. It was an unfortunate event when she saw me shifting but she thought it was the coolest thing ever. Will had to come and talk to her about the secrecy of it all and he was just as melodramatic as ever but Amanda promised never to tell anybody.

"Yes, I actually met one of them yesterday at the store," I told her.

"What? And you didn't even tell me?" She sounded like I had run over her dog.

"I had the pride dinner," I shrugged.

She huffed but said, "Well, they are all the same age it seems. The girls are like, really pretty though. Almost too pretty if you ask me, but whatever."

"Don't sound too bitter," I told her.

She rolled her eyes at me just as the first period bell rang. I didn't have class with her so we went our separate ways.

School was as boring as ever. In each class I was looking for one of the new kids, but I didn't see anybody.

Lunch finally rolled around and I took my usual seat with Amanda and her friends. At last I saw the new kids sitting across the cafeteria.

There were only three of them, two girls and a boy. They were all beautiful, even the boys. One of the girls had short pixie hair and she was leaning towards the girl with long brown hair. The blonde, curly haired boy was looking off in a different direction and looked like he was in pain.

It was then that Jacob walked into the cafeteria. He scanned the room quickly then found the rest of his family.

"Hey, Jacob!" I called. He looked over at me and waved and I motioned him over. He glanced over at his family who were now looking over at us then came over.

"Do you want to sit with us? You don't have to if you want to sit with your family, but I figured that I would be friendly," I said. Amanda's eyes were as big as saucers at this point.

Jacob smiled and sat down. "Thanks. I think my family will survive without me for the time being."

Amanda had now recovered from her shock and decided to introduce her self and the rest of the table. Jacob seemed instantly at ease with us. Even though he still smelled like a dog who had perfume sprayed on.

We were debating whether Miracle Whip or mayonnaise was better when suddenly I felt a presence at our table along with an overwhelming smell of sickening sweetness. Instantly I felt that there was danger and I tensed and turned around in my seat.

Standing there was the girl with long brown hair standing there. I wanted to puke from the stink coming off from her.

"Bella? What is it?" Jacob asked. He looked concerned.

"It's Nessie," She said in a musical voice. Immediately, Jacob stood up.

"I'm sorry, I have to go," He said to me without looking. He picked up his tray and quickly followed Bella out of the cafeteria.

There was a moment of silence at the table.

"Well, that was weird," Amanda said.

Exactly my sentiments.

So...yeah. I'm curious as to what you guys think. I personally feel like this story is getting nowhere at the moment, but what do you guys think?

Let me know! And hopefully I will update soon (I'm trying for next week but you never know with me).
