"Who is that?"

"Wow. He really grew up over the summer didn't he?"

"I hope he's single."

The gossip mongers were in full swing on the first day of my senior year. Yep. SENIOR YEAR. I couldn't wait to get away from this institution. I sighed, let the countdown begin. Unfortunately I couldn't concentrate on the steamy romance novel I was currently reading under my desk because of all the whispers. I turned to glare at the offensive whisperer.

"Oh. Sorry am I bothering you? I'll turn my music down."

My jaw dropped. Sitting behind me was the single most gorgeous male I had ever set my poor virginal eyes on. He looked at me strangely, probably owing to the fact that my mouth was still open.

Sitting behind me dressed in a pair of slightly distressed jeans and a t-shirt just tight enough to show of a pair of amazing washboard abs was the subject of the gossip. He was tall, but not as tall as Jacob. His dark hair framed his face and a pair of brilliant sapphire blue eyes.

"You're new aren't you? I haven't seen you around before," his smile lit up the room, "Hi, I'm Leighton. Leighton Fuller."

"Oh. Hi. I'm--"

I was cut off by strong warm arms enveloping me and pulling me into a hug. Jacob rested his chin on my shoulder and glared at Leighton.

"She's my girlfriend."

I flushed embarrassed at Jacob's behavior but Leighton didn't seem to be put off by his attitude. His eyes narrowed for a moment-- then he was all smiles again. Jacob pulled me around to face him and proceeded to kiss me long and passionately before the bell rang and he had to leave.

"So, you're Jacob's girlfriend huh?" Leighton asked me as the teacher (I couldn't remember her name) told us to shut up, study and the picked up this months issue of Cosmo.

I smiled dreamily. Although I was totally mortified by the kiss, I still rather liked it. "Yeah. I'm Allie, I moved here last April."

"Oh. That's why I wouldn't have seen you. I was in Paris. I'm a part-time model," he waggled his eyebrows at me and I laughed. "How long have you and Jacob been going out?"

I wondered why he was so interested in this but I answered anyways, happy as always to brag about the love of my life. "Since April."

Leighton nodded at me and brushed some strands of hair out of his face. All the girls in the class sighed simultaneously. He turned and flashed another brilliant smile at them. I swear I could see the drool on their faces.

"So, not that long huh?"

I frowned absently. "It feels like forever to me."

The grin on his face turned mischievous. He turned away and didn't talk to me for the rest of the period.

Lunch time came and I was heart broken to find out that I didn't have lunch with Jacob or Kim. I weeped silent tears until Embry and Quil found me. Ignoring the looks of the other girls (I was hated by most girls for being friends of the resident hotties group) we picked a table in the back corner of the cafeteria.

"No. No. No. Batman could take Spiderman any day. Think about it, all you'd have to do is like, spray some bug spray and Spidey would be incapacitated," I told Embry logically.

"Yeah but, Batman's just got gadgets, whereas Spiderman is an actual superhero. He has spider senses after all," was Embry's rebuttal.

"I think you both have it wrong. Superman could kick both Spiderman and Batman's ass any day. Duh," Quil said.

This caused a roar of outrage from Embry and I. I was contemplating whether throwing my pudding at Quil would help my case or not when a soft voice interrupted us.

"Is it okay if I sit here?" It was Leighton.

"Sure!" I told him and patted the seat beside me.

Immediately Embry moved from the seat he was in and took the seat next to me that I had just pointed to Leighton. Come to think of it, Quil and Embry didn't look too happy about Leighton sitting with us either. I guess I should've checked to make sure it was okay with them first. Leighton's fan club also didn't look too happy about him sitting with us.

After an awkward silence we continued our discussion on ass kicking as Quil called it. Leighton for the most part avoided speaking directly to Quil and Embry. I didn't blame him though, they were giving off serious 'we don't like you' vibes.

Towards the end of lunch I got up to put my trash away. On the way towards the trash cans I passed a table of girls who were all whispering furiously. Just as I passed them one put out her foot and caused me to trip. I started to fall forward but before I could face plant someone grabbed me around the waist, keeping me from falling.

"Those bitches," I muttered under my breath and turned to thank the person who still had a hold around my waist.

Leighton smiled at me and handed me the tray that I had previously held. He flashed me a smile and I could see Embry and Quil looking livid in the background. I wonder what had gotten into them.

"Thanks Leighton," I said as I stood up.

He slowly relinquished his hold on me, probably making sure that I was able to stand without falling over.

"No problem," he said walking with me to the trash cans just as the lunch bell rang, "well I gotta go. See you later Allie?"

I nodded and he waved at me as he left the cafeteria. It wasn't long before I felt two huge and furious prescenses behind me.

"Stay away from him Allie," Quil ordered me in a freakishly calm voice. It was like he was trying to hold his temper in check.

I looked at him. "Why?"

"You know, you really are dense," Embry said in response to my confused expression. I shook my head at them. And walked away. Telling me to who to be friends with. Ha. I could pick my own friends, thankyouverymuch. Really, those two were worse than an older brother.

I waited for Jacob after school as always. I hoped to see his smiling face. I couldn't believe that we didn't have any classes together. It was really disappointing and I'm sorry to say that all day I couldn't stop thinking about him. I mean, we saw each other in the halls, but that really wasn't enough.

Leaning against the school I sighed as I waited. He sure could take a long time.

"Waiting for someone?" It was Leighton again. He seemed to turn up everywhere I was. I smiled at him.

"Yeah. I'm waiting for Jacob," I realized I put emphasis on Jacob's name. Wow, I sounded really lovey-dovey.

Leighton leaned against the wall with me. He had put on a very nice leather jacket and was receiving lots of appreciative looks from the female population of the school. I snickered.

"What?" He turned his sapphire eyes to me. I just shook my head. He really couldn't see that he was numero uno at school? What a stupid boy.

Just then I saw Jacob round the corner, he looked around. I waved and yelled to him. He stopped looking and turning saw Leighton and I leaning against the wall together. The expression on his face was for some reason angry. I started to walk towards Jacob but in my excitement to see him I stumbled on the concrete.

Leighton's hand reached out and grabbed my arm, keeping me from once again falling. I smiled at him.

"Sorry that you have to keep doing that. I don't know what's gotten into me today!" I told him as I ran over to Jacob.

Immediately Jacob wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a bear hug. He glared at Leighton. I couldn't understand why Jacob was so angry. I'd almost fallen and all Leighton had done was keep me from kissing cement.

"Jacob," Leighton said casually.

Jacob nodded his head at Leighton and arranged me at his side in an almost possesive kind of way. I peeked out at the situation from under Jacob's arm.

Leighton extended his hand to Jacob. "It's been a while," he smiled at Jacob.

Jacob reluctantly too Leighton's hand. There was a moment where both guys seemed to be having a sort of contest over who could grip their hands the hardest. What was with this tense atmosphere?

"I hope we'll be seeing more of each other now that I'm back, Allie," he paused and smirked at Jacob, "and Jacob too of course."

And with that he left. Jacob was shaking in anger and I tried to pull away from him, scared that he was going to phase. Why was he so angry?

"Don't. Leave. My. Side." He managed to utter before finally calming himself down.

What was his problem?

………………………………...

Later that evening I ended up at Jacob's house. Alone. Billy had gone up to Forks to watch a game with his friend and wouldn't be back until later.

Jacob had pulled me into his lap and refused to let go of me as we watched some mindless movie on television. He hadn't taken his eyes off me all day and it was a little unnerving. I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but I didn't want to make him angry again. So I kept my mouth shut.

I chewed my lip wondering why he wouldn't let go of me.

Ohmigod.

Was he thinking about, doing it? I mean, we were all alone in his house-- he was holding me extra close-- and he couldn't keep his hands off me.

I groaned inwardly. I wasn't sure I was ready for this step but if I was I would have at least liked to wear some cute underwear!

Thinking back to what I put on this morning though, it wasn't so bad. I mean, they weren't lacy or anything but they were cute. Victoria's Secret Cotton Hip Huggers is what they were called. I tried to remember the color. Ah. Yep, blue with pink stars. Totally cute. I hoped he wouldn't mind.

Note to self-- by sexy lingerie for moments like this.

"What are you thinking about?" Jacob's voice snapped me out of visions of black and red lace.

I blushed embarrassed. "Nothing." But my voice came out a little too husky and a little too quick.

"Hmmm?" he asked and kissed me deeply, "I'll get you to tell me." I heard the smile in his voice as he kissed me again. This time with tongue. His arms wrapped around me as he leaned me back on the couch so that he was leaning over me.

Ohmigod. On his couch?

I pushed him away suddenly embarrassed. But he just kept going. He was a werewolf after all.

"Um, Jake?" I mumbled as he moved on from my lips to my collar bone. My breathing was slightly uneven.

He just laughed at me and kissed me right behind my left earlobe. I forgot what I was going to say. He kissed me on the lips again and I decided that on the couch was fine by me. But first I needed to get that shirt off of him.

I slipped my hands under his shirt and slowly slid them up the length of his chest. He got my idea very quickly and whipped his shirt of without flourish. And then he went back to kissing me, one hand dangerously low on my waist, the other tangled in my hair.

I arched my back, pressing up against Jacob's chest, as he kept kissing me deeply. Tentatively, very tentatively his hand reached under my shirt and slowly trailed upwards.

Rinnng.

I turned my head towards the direction of the phone. "Leave it," Jacob ordered.

Rinnng.

Rinnng.

Jacob swore softly and kissed me gently on the lips. He got up from the couch and wandered over to the phone. He picked it up swiftly.

"What?" He said it a little more snappy than was really necessary. "Oh. Sorry. Hi, Mrs. Costa. Yeah she's here….okay…I'll tell her." There was a pause. "Okay. Bye then."

I sat up on the couch and looked at him.

Jacob turned away from the phone and looked at me with an embarrassed look on his face. "She wants you home. Now. She said she didn't want any…hanky panky."

I let out a giggle. Who knew Mrs. Costa could be so right. I laughed at the appalled look on Jacob's face. I walked over to where he stood and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Just be glad you're dad didn't come home and see that," I told him and then laughed at the look of horror on his face as I left the house.

Aha. The plot thickens so much it congeals. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Oh and thanks to Browneyes5174 for the name! I really really like it a lot. Welll thanks all for reading and telling me what you think!

Btw.

Batman could kick Spiderman's ass any day. Nuff said.
