Ch. 2 New Girl

Don't come. Bella's in pain from the changing.-

Edward

I reread the note over and over again, glaring at it.

"Jacob…aren't you going to school now?" Dad yelled from the kitchen.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm on my way out…" I grumbled, grabbing my backpack from the corner, slinging it over my shoulder.

I opened the door and stepped out.

"HEY JAKE CAKE!" Embry grinned.

"Dude…" I glared at him. "What is 'Jake Cake'?"

"We're thinking of every time you're late, we'll call you a new nickname. So…today is Jake Cake!" Quill threw his hands in the air.

"Why don't I add a new bruise?" I cracked my knuckles.

They both chuckled and shifted the sand with their feet quickly.

"Oh, by the way," Quill scratched his nose.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"There's these new girls and guys coming today," Embry said. "They're supposed to be exchange students from another state. Oklahoma or Wyoming or something…"

"Can I ever finish?" Quill spat.

"…no," Embry shrugged.

I smiled and we walked towards the school.

-x-x—x—

"Jacob Black," Ms. Star said.

"Here," I raised my hand.

"Finally," I heard her mutter under her breath, and I smiled.

"Embry"-

"HERE!" Embry jumped up.

Ms. Star tapped on her desk quickly and he sat down, the class sniggering with laughter.

"Down! NOW," she glared.

Embry saluted her and sat up straight.

"Melody Midnacht," Ms. Star smiled.

I looked behind me. A girl stood up, with long black hair in a French braid. My stomach flopped and my heartbeat increased as I looked at her. Her rose red lips and pale white cheeks glimmered under the light.

"Here," she said softly, her voice tinkling like a thousand birdcalls and bells. My palms started to sweat.

"Ah…everyone, this is Melody. She'll be here for a short while. She's from…new Hampshire?"

"Massachusetts," Melody corrected her.

"Ah, yes!" Ms. Star nodded.

Every boy in the class stared at her like some kind of goddess. A sweet aroma filled my nose. It was like a flower had been squeezed out of all the perfume that it bottled, and someone had held it up to my nose. I took in a deep breath and shut my eyes. Like heaven.

I opened my eyes, and it was then I noticed that she had walked right past me, and given a paper to the teacher.

I watched her from the corner of my eye, playing with imaginary lint. She didn't look at me, and walked straight to her desk.

I could feel Quill and Embry's piercing stares.

No longer then, twenty minutes into English, and I got a note from Embry.

OOOOH JAKE CAKE! What was that? A to the double T to the raction? ATTRACTION????

I wrote back:

No idiot,

Embry threw it at my head. I seethed and picked up the note from the ground.

Just ask if you can show her around. If she says no, then ask for her schedule.

Will that make you shut up?

Yes.

Fine.

I waited until the bell ran forty minutes later. It was the longest forty minutes I have ever waited in my entire life. The bell finally rang, and I stretched. Or pretended to. Melody came down my aisle, so I casually dropped my books.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Did that hit you?" I asked her.

"No! Didn't even touch me!" she chuckled and bent down to pick them up with me. I had a list of my classes written so she would see. It slid out from under the book.

She stacked them in my open hands as I breathed in her scent. Amazing.

"…do you mind if I look at your schedule?" she asked me.

"Not at all!" I smiled politely, balancing the books.

"Oh! You have all my classes except last period and third period are switched around!" she grinned at me.

"I can walk you to second period if you'd like," I nodded.

I knew Quill and Embry were watching. I just knew it.

"…I'd like that," she folded the schedule and put it on top of the book stack.

"Oh, how rude of me!" she tsked. "Should I help you carry those?"

"To tell you the truth, I don't even feel them," I swallowed, watching her walk up to the door. "I'm Jacob by the way,"

"Melody,"

We walked outside, the hall stopping to stare at the stunning, sweet smelling beauty that walked in front of me.

x----------------x

"Wow…I never knew Mr. Closky could be so strict," Melody slung her backpack against her shoulder.

"Yeah…" I felt strange. Maybe it was a werewolf thing…but I'd have to consult my dad anyway.

"MELODY!" a voice yelled.

We both looked. A boy with longish brown hair, and a pale face waved to her.

"Oh…that's my brother, Seth. I've got to go now, Jacob. I guess I'll catch up with you later," she smiled at me and walked towards him.

"Curses," I spat, annoyed.

"Hehhe…" Embry put a hand on my shoulder. "How'd it go?"

"How'd WHAT go, Stalker?" I asked him coolly.

"Oh come on, Jakie!" Quill punched my arm lightly.

"Look…both of you just…shut up right now,"

I put down my stuff on the table, laying my face in my arms.

Quill and Embry sat down, weirded out.

"I feel strange, guys. Like I want to be by her," I didn't dare steal a glance at Melody, or her brother might eat me.

"…Jake…she's staring at you," Quill said quietly.

"So?" I snorted.

"Listen, go home, Jake," Embry said, his voice becoming worried.

"Why?"

"…just talk to Billie. Tell him about EVERYTHING," Quill said.

I stood up, grabbing my stuff.

"Ok. See you guys later," I shrugged and walked out of the lunchroom.

As I walked, I started brainstorming. Why would they want me to go home? What's going on? Am I sick? Another werewolf thing?

"Jacob!" a voice called.

I turned sharply. Melody was walking towards me, her hair flying lightly.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Home. Don't feel so well," I said.

"Well…I was hoping you'd come to my Welcome Party tonight…but seeing as you can't…" she shrugged.

"How about I take you out tomorrow afternoon. Just the two of us," I smiled thinly, surprised by my sudden proposal.

Her eyes lit up.

"Sure," she nodded. "Yeah…and I can tell Seth to go to hell if he protests. Alright. It's a date,"

She stuck out her hand. I shook it, and shivered. Icy cold.

"See you,"

"See you," I nodded and walked towards the office.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Jacob…I've analyzed everything…and I've talked to several people. Including Paul," Billie looked happy for once.

"What does Paul have to do with anything?" I asked.

"Jacob…have you ever considered being imprinted?"
