CHAPTER 7

Jpov

She slammed the door and walked out as the guys -everyone but me, that is- were whistling and howling at her.

"So, you never told us you had such a hot friend." Quil nudged me with his elbow and raised his eyebrows.

"Maybe that's because I don't care."

"Someone's grumpy." Embry muttered before Sam shot him look that told him to lay off.

I scraped the chair against the floor as I got up to dump my plate in the sink.

It was annoying that the guys could forget everything so quickly. I was not going to get over Bella anytime soon. In fact, I was barely starting to get over my depression. If it weren't for the pack, I would be in a much worse condition.

"Finish up guys, you still have school." Emily's voice came from the kitchen where she was cleaning dishes.

"School?!" I had forgotten for the moment that it was no longer summer vacation, even though it was hot for September. That reminded me, her birthday was in September.

"You deserve a day of rest. The guys can catch you up."

"No, it's fine, it just caught me off guard." I wasn't tired, and I needed something to distract me.

Since we were close enough to school from Sam's we walked.

"Wait, where does everyone else think I was?" I asked Quil as we walked to school, knowing I would need an alibi for my prolonged disappearance.

"Umm…well we kinda said you were taking a tour of London."

"London? I disappear for a few months, and everyone thinks I've been in London? Why the heck would I want to go there?"

"Yeah, I know, it's stupid, but we couldn't think of anything else."

"Great."

We walked into class and sat down with my new schedule in hand.

A few people walked past me and sat down, I recognized some guys in my grade.

"Hey! Welcome back Jacob!" A boy greeted me with a slap on the back.

"Yeah, couldn't stay a way for long."

"London. Wow, didn't know you were the tourist type."

"I'm not." I muttered and looked back at my schedule as he walked a way with a confused expression on his face.

The bell rang; off to first period. My attempt at a distraction was unsuccessful. She was on my mind the whole time as I walked to my first class; and still was when I sat down, until a familiar scent drifted into the room. I knew that scent. I didn't have to look to identify who it was; all of three of them. They took seats at the very back of the classroom, but the teacher, a very large, talkative woman whose name I forgot, caught them and made them introduce themselves. The dark-haired one spoke first.

"I'm River Fairson, and these are my sisters."

"I'm Amber", said the redhead, for a second I nearly thought she was Victoria.

"And I'm Millie" said the blond.

"We just moved here from California."

The teacher let them go after that and they resumed there seats in the back.

I tried to keep, the now two, distractions from my mind and focus. The first period bell rang and the guys caught up with me at my locker.

"Hey, what do you think of that?" "There's three of them!" said Embry

"Yeah, great, triplets, let's have a party!" I said with fake enthusiasm.

"Aww, c'mon, don't be like that, Jake."

"I like the redhead, although, for a second I thought she was Victoria." Embry said that as the guys agreed, they discussed further about the three new girls. The guys left to their lockers and I was left alone, that is until the smell caught up with me again. Apparently I would not be left alone today. She was right next to me, her face hidden in her locker as she quickly grabbed her books. At that moment, another kid whose name I forgot stopped by my locker to greet me.

"Hi Jake! I heard you were back!" "So, what'd you see in London?" He asked me, but his eyes were on someone else near me. I struggled to come up with some answer that sounded like I actually had gone to Europe.

"Umm…I saw the Eiffel Tower! Yeah, er, it's big" Was all I could come up with.

"Cool, cool.", He said, and walked off to his class.

As I turned to shut my locker and walk off to my own class she spoke to me; it had to be me even though she wasn't looking at me, because of what she said.

"The Eiffel Tower is in Paris." She walked off to her own class.
