Annabelle Uley:
"This is Annabelle Uley." Was my first introduction while I was sitting in my first class, English. Wasn't very original but I'll take it.
There was a pair of eyes on me. Well other than the whole entire class that was starring at me.
I felt them aimed at the back of my head. I wanted to turn and asked what the person's problem was, but before I had sat down I noted his size was nearly twice my own. I gulped and pointed my attention to my new teacher while he started a lesson on a book the class was reading.
Up to the point when I ball of paper was chucked at my head I had forgotten about the boy behind me. I looked back annoyed to see him grinning at me. I rolled my eyes as he mouthed for me to open it.
Are you seriously a Uley?
I glanced back at him and nodded. His eyes widened before he scribbled something else down and threw it across the room.
Wow, I think I know you're uncle, or cousin, something like that.
I smiled a bit, and wrote back to him.
Cool, I have to go see him tonight. Call me Anna by the way.
His smiled grew when he read what I threw back and wrote down hard with his pen.
Nice too meet you, I'm Seth, and I'll see you there.
I squinted my eyes in confusion but then another piece hit my head.
It's a bonfire, and I'm his friend. So, I'll sit by you. (:
I seriously liked this kid already; he was cute, in a little puppy type of way. Plus it's always nice to have friends. I looked back at him and smiled. But his face shown guilt as it was staring straight to the front of the room. Mr. Yung was looking to him with a grimace.
"Flirting with the new student Mr. Clearwater?" He asked. Seth's cheeks had a tint to them as he looked down with shame. I smirked a little and paid attention to the rest of the lesson, stealing little glances at Seth.
As soon as the bell rung Seth was at my desk, smiling. This boy smiled a lot. I looked up at him and blushed a little. He was just too cute for words.
"So you're new huh? That's cool; I was thinking we needed a new person around here. And you aren't ugly so- I mean like you're really pretty and it's just cool to have another girl around."
I smiled and stood from my seat and threw my messenger bag against my shoulder. He was looking down. Though he seemed shy, his size told me otherwise.
"Hey Seth, wanna help me find my next class, it's a small school but I have no sense of direction." He looked up and nodded vigorously before grabbing all of my books and even my bag from my hands and stared at my schedule before walking out of the room. I picked up my speed to keep up with his long strides.
"So how did you wide up here, in all places." I shrugged.
"My dad, his brother or something like that called. I think his name was Sam. I really don't see how he got him to move like eight states away but he did it." I explained watching the different classrooms we passed.
He stopped me in front of a math room. "Dang, Algebra 2? Aren't you just a freshmen?" I nodded and took my books from him. He smiled and waved goodbye, scurrying away while the bell buzzed.
He caught my attention the second I walked through the door. His dark chocolate eyes watched my every move. It wasn't like Seth's gaze, it was much more intense. He was analyzing me. His shaggy hair was cut just before his ears. The other thing about him was that he was bigger than Seth. Then he smiled at me. My breath was stuck in some place I couldn't find while his smile grew bigger. His eyes flicked to the teacher, then to the boy beside him. He whispered something harshly before the boy shot out from his seat and took the only other empty desk, I watched him curiously before handing the teacher a note.
"Annabelle Uley, welcome." He glanced up from the papers on his desk and his eyes landed on the seat in the back. "You can sit next to Jacob Black." I sighed which made him chuckle. "He doesn't bite, but be careful, he's been out all last week with the flue." I nodded and made my way next to him.
I set my things on the floor and looked at Jacob. He was gorgeous. I could've looked at him all day. But my mind told me not to, so instead I looked through my notes from my old school to see where this class was in to relation to the chapters I was in. Luckily I was ahead so I just stated doodling before I felt a large tap on my arm.
Jacob was looking at me. He wasn't just looking but his whole chair was turned to face me. I smiled for a second while he continued to stare. "Uh, did you need something?" I whispered.
He shrugged. "Uh, I'm Annabelle, or just call me Anna."
"Pretty, really pretty." I nodded without thinking.
"Welcome to La Push." He smirked once more before turning back to face the front.
Jacob Black:
After math, I was disappointed to see Annabelle walk straight to the teacher and asked to get to the art. I sighed. She probably thought I was some dumb buffoon. But really I was thinking how she made it to a junior math class; she looked no older than a freshman. She was soon becoming a mystery. The fact that her last name was Uley did everything except escape my attention.
The only thing that got me though the day was Anna. The thought that I had finally found her was just enough to make me jump up and dance with joy. But I restrained myself. It wasn't until I saw her walk in the lunchroom with Seth my heart sped. She was laughing, smiling, and just enjoying herself.
But the fact that it was with Seth and not me hurt almost as much as when Bella choose to go to Italy.
She came towards my table of Quil, Embry, and Leah. Strangely Leah didn't scowl when she saw her, she smirked. If she thought that Annabelle was Seth's imprint I was gonna puke.
Speaking of Quil and Embry, they weren't that surprised when I returned. They were happy sure, but it was as if they were expecting it. Even Seth remained calm when he saw me enter the school. The most surprising was that there were no questions asked.
"Hey, this is Annabelle Uley." Seth beamed sitting down and telling her to take the spot next to him. I glared for a second before her eyes caught mine and my heart melted at the sight of her.
I would have never guessed I would be this happy with finding my imprint. The fact that she was devastatingly beautiful was just a bonus.
She looked away from me and introduced herself. "Hi there," She shook Embry's hand and then Quil's. Leah smiled at her, an actual smile. I willed my self from jumping her when she flipped her dark hair and caught her lovely scent.
Nothing could keep me away from her. Nothing, she would be mine and mine alone. I wouldn't have to share her with a bloodsucker. Or worry about her leaving me. Soon I would make her love me; it won't be as much as I love her. I knew now that reaching that level would be impossible but I would never let her go. Ever.
Annabelle Uley:
"I have a little brother." I told Leah. She seemed nice. Someone that I would be friends with, though she was older than I, I saw a lot of myself in her.
"Aw, how old is he?" I thought about that for a second before laughing and saying, "Uh, I'm never good with numbers and age. I pretty sure he's fourteen right now. We are about a year and a half apart. So yeah, I think that sounds about right. How old are all you?"
A shouting game of ages pierced the air and I smirked. Catching that most of them were sixteen, one might have been seventeen. But besides me Seth muttered fifteen. "Leah is my older sister." Seth added, off topic.
Leah laughed. "It's okay little brother, Anna may like younger boys." I shrugged but that little gesture set someone off.
A low growl emitted from Jacob as he stared at Seth in disgust. I blinked at him before he scoffed and stomped out of the cafeteria.
An awkward silence was created from Jacob's random spasm of anger. Seth stood but Quil and Embry almost glared at him to sit back down, soon they too were out of the cafeteria the way Jacob left.
Leah's eyes widened when she looked at me, as if she were realizing something. She gasped a bit and glared at Seth.
"Seth can I talk to you?" Her voice was sharp and harsh, I shrank back a little. She looked at me and frowned. "I'm sorry Anna, this will only take a second."
It didn't take a second. More like the whole lunch period. Leaving me to eat my burger and apple fries alone.
When I left school that day, I noticed Jacob watching me for twenty minutes. I sighed and sat down on the curb, waiting for my dad to come. My eyes strayed to Jacob.
He was standing alone, his friends? Nowhere in sight. I popped my headphones into my ears and switched onto Leon Lewis.
Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain.
Once or twice was in enough and it was all in vain.
Time starts to pass, before you know it you're frozen.
I never understood how this song describes me, and what my feelings were. No, I wasn't in love with this Jacob, but I felt some type of bond to him that pulled me in. Something about him wanted me to be with him. Or around him. But the part about no one waiting me to be with him didn't fit the bill.
"Hey, girl!" A voice loud enough to overpower my music ripped me away from Jacob's eyes. He was watching intensely as the dark haired beauty approached me. I brought my head up to see her and smiled.
"Oh, hi. My name's Anna. In case you were-"
The brunette waved her hand and flipped her hair; her friends behind her sent me glares. I struggled with rolling my eyes. But my efforts were fruitless. She looked at me as if I had slapped her.
"Excuse me?" her voice was annoying already.
I shrugged and turned my music back up. That seemed to anger her seeing as she ripped the wires away from the ipod and smirked.
No this bitch didn't just go there.
I took a deep breath and stood. "Do you need help or something?" I asked.
"Nah, I was just stopping by to welcome you." I raised an eyebrow. "And to tell you to back the hell off, Jacob Black is mine. So unless you want those knock off Uggs shoved up your ass I'd back off."
She's about to bring the Chicago Ghetto outta me.
Before I could open my mouth an arm was around my shoulder. A huge arm, and it was insanely hot. I shuddered when I saw Jacob smiling down at me. He was smiling a real grin to me but when he's attention was aim towards, the bitch brigade he nearly hissed.
"Something wrong Fancy?" He asked, his hold on me tightened. I felt somewhat at ease, but the fact an almost perfect stranger was holding me, that? That wasn't expected.
She shook her head innocently. She glared at me before batting her eyelashes at Jacob. "Sorry Jakey, just was welcoming the new girl…"
I gave her a fake smile and nodded. "Yeah, she didn't threaten that she would shove my real Uggs up my ass."
Jacob's arm left my shoulder and his hand grasped mine. He gave Fancy a nasty look, which I wouldn't have been able to handle before grinning at me. "I'll give you a ride home."
"Uh, actually that's fine my dad-" I paused for a moment and looked at Fancy's expression, defeat. But I could make it a little more depressed. "You know what? That would be great." I smiled to Fancy before looping my arm with Jacob's.
As we walked further away I stuck my tongue out which received a chuckle from Jacob. I smirked and unlooped our arms. "Thanks for uh, saving my ass back there."
He stuffed his hands into his pockets and shrugged. "Nice ass to save."
Blush creped onto my cheeks. My head found its way to look towards the ground. He leaned over and got to my face. "Kidding,"
I nodded but then frowned. He tilted his head then held up his hands. "Noo, that's not what I meant. I mean like you do have a nice ass, but I didn't want to offend you or anything." That smirk could make anything that boy said right.
Nodding dumbly my cell buzzed in my coat pocket.
Our song is the slamming screen doors.
Sneaking out late, tapping on your window.
When we're on the phone and your momma don't know.
The first date man, I didn't kiss her and I should have-
I smiled to him before flipping my cell open and reading the text that I was sent.
Dad started work today. Sorry he couldn't pick you up. But his brother's friend, Jacob, should have offered you a ride. Your brother will be at the bonfire, incase you were wondering.
-Mom
I rolled my eyes. That woman would never tell me things on time. "So I guess you really are suppose to be taking me home."
He shrugged, "Yeah, but I really need to get home. If you wouldn't mind staying over for a bit I can take you home when I'm finished with everything."
Whatever, he's hot, nice, and I need more friends than Seth and Leah.
"Yeah sure, sounds good to me." He smirked and walked me the rest of the way to his tiny little car. It seemed weird a guy as big as him bought one so small.
"This is your car?" Stupid question you moron.
He laughed and nodded. "Something wrong with it?"
I shook my head and blushed. "No, nothing. Just you're like giant, and the car isn't…" He was amused and was now holding back laughter. My cheeks grew warmer and I ducked into his little rabbit of a car.
He sat in the drivers seat. I awkwardly turned away from him to stare at the window, huffing fog and drawing hearts.
"So you're related to Sam Uley?" His voice boomed. I looked at him. His dark eyes seemed so familiar…
"Apparently…" He gave me a questioning look. "My dad never really mentioned his family. We've been down here once. Only for a day. But I've never met Sam." He nodded. I wanted the conversation to keep so I made a comment. "Are you and him tight?"
Tight!? Really? What year is it? 2001…
He smiled and shrugged. "Yeah, kind of like brothers."
"Oh so we're like family?"
The second the words flew from my mouth I wanted them to fly right back. What the fuck is wrong with me?
He grimaced. "Well we aren't family, I mean he's just my good friend is all…" I nodded and looked away.
The green and brown hypnotized me, I watched it for what seemed like a few seconds before the hum of the car died away and Jacob was tapping my shoulder.
"Hey, we're here." His smile was enough to let me die happy. I nodded and got out. He stood at the front of his rabbit and waited as I took my time looking at my surroundings. Tall trees surrounded Jacob's home. He looked apprehensive as I approached him. Grabbing my hand he led me to the porch where he just starred at the door for a little while.
I tugged at his hand that was gripping mine. He looked to me and grinned with worry. He turned the handle and it opened. Jacob gently pulled me into the small house. I looked around. It was warm, unlike my new home. Which was too big to be anything but a old manor that seemed dead and empty.
The sound of rubber wheels rolling across hardwood caused Jacob to spin to face the kitchen. I followed his eyes to see an older man, his eyes burned like Jacob's, in a wheelchair beaming at the sight of us.
"Jake, great to see you son." Jacob's hand dropped mine and he walked closer to who was his father.
"Good to be home."
His father nodded but said nothing else. Good to be home? His eyes met mine and they were dancing with excitement. His mouth was slightly agape as he continued to gaze at me. "You look exactly like your father…" He muttered.
"Huh?"
He shook his head laughing, wheeling himself into the living room, Jacob close behind. "Michael. You are defiantly his daughter." He could see the skepticism on my face and held out his hand. "Billy Black. I knew your father all his life. Never mentioned La Push much has he?"
I laughed bitterly, "No, can't say that he has. But it is nice to meet you."
Billy smiled and nodded shaking my hand. His were rough as if he worked all his life. I believed that he had.
"Jake, how about you take…" I made an o shape with my lips and smiled "Anna."
"Anna, to the garage for a while, I'm afraid she'll get bored in here, Charlie's picking me up in five minutes or so." He nodded and grabbed my hand again. Billy's look became pained before he spoke again. "You may want to talk to Sam tonight, possible give Bella a ring…"
Jacob's face hardened. He huffed before dragging me out the door and through the drizzle of rain.
Who's Bella…?
