On with the story…
Puberty."Well that was embarrassing"!
He just rolled his eyes. It might not be a big deal to him but when we act like long lost lovers in front of my class, I get a little embarrassed. It especially doesn't help when he grabs my hand and makes me bow.
The strange thing is that, at this moment, I could care less. I could have fallen down six flights of stairs and I wouldn't have cared. That would hurt really bad though. I finally noticed that we had stopped walking. I looked up at him and this time I really looked.
He still had the same sweet innocent smile. His hair was cut and it looked manlier. I couldn't call him Jackie anymore. His face was more defined and sharpened. He had a muscular build, not a "hulk Hogan" builds but the muscles were definitely there. His feet were big too.
"Taylor?!"
"Jake use your inside voice. And what?!"
"Sorry you looked like you were in La-la-la land."
I laughed. Then I turned and was about to start walking when I saw "them". The pop-heads, a.k.a. popular people. They were staring at Jake like he was some new lip-gloss.
The group consisted of Serena – the head pop head. Her followers were Julia – the one with mono, Amelia – the one who thinks elephants really do fly, Tahleah – the one who will one day rival Michael Jackson for the largest amount of surgeries. Then there was Lexis. Lexis was the only pop head who had an ounce of kindness.
"Jake you are my friend and I care about you, so if you value your life, run!!!"
He looked at me and then back to the pop-heads. Then he grabbed my hand and winked.
"Come on, introduce me to your friends… sex monkey."
My eyes bulged out of my head. I thought that he had lost his mind, or lack thereof.
Then I caught on.
" Sure thing…kinky horn dog."
He looked at me like I had grown two heads. I forgot to mention that I was kind of a prude way back in the day, when we were eight. Now I can't go five minutes without making a joke about sex. Boy is he going to be surprised this year.
We started walking towards the pop-heads but they just scoffed and turned away.
"Okay so since when do you say kinky horn dog? I expected something like stud at the most. Hey if you're here does that mean the Umaima is too?"
"Yeah and she has changed a bit too. For instance that whole kinky horn dog thing, that's minimal to her."
He laughed. He had a nice laugh. Not too high or low just right. He was exactly as I remembered him only, different.
"Well you have changed too. For instance you have boobs!"
I laughed along with him. Good old Jake. It figures that the first thing that he would notice is my boobs. It's true though, I was an A cup but now I'm a D. it's great but my back hurts a lot…
"Yeah and you have a, wait never mind."
We laughed and talked together. This was great. It was exactly like old times. Umaima was going to freak when she saw him. I can't wait to see her face.
Umaima's p.o.v.
Daina and I were walking laughing about the stupid little stunts that the pop-heads were doing. Impressing guys were the number one priority on their list. We were about to re-enact exactly what they did when the evil math teacher, Mr. White was calling Daina's name. In my opinion all teachers are evil, they give too much homework, they don't appreciate my superior smart-etude and they get mad when I help or talk to other people. Lunch had just started and I was about to go meet up with Taylor when this really hot guy came around and the world knows how much I love cute guys. I was a pig that appreciated the view, sue me.
Mr. White wouldn't shut up so I was left alone while I saw Taylor talking to a random locker, it was quite creepy, and these were the moments where I questioned her sanity.
"Do you need to see a psychiatrist, cause I think talking to inanimate objects aren't normal."
All of a sudden this huge guy came out of nowhere and screamed, "You have boobs too!"
"Yeah it's called puberty, you should try it. Do I know you?"
"You don't remember me," he looked so depressed, if I wasn't creeped out I actually might've cared. "It's Jacob, Jacob Black.
In an instant I jumped on him and started screaming, this was one of my long lost brothers, I had a right to be all over him. "Why are you here? How's Alice and everyone? When did you get hot? Is anyone else hot? How do you like the new school? Dorky question I know but I haven't seen you in so long? Again why are you here? Why are you not answering my questions? You're such a bad friend you know that?"
"Calm down, can you just wait I'll tell you everything in a minute if you would let me god you still can't keep your mouth shut can you? I bet you still do that weird thing with your mouth when you want to mooch, don't you?" I finally gave him a chance to speak.
"Shut up guys find it sexy now."
As soon as Taylor started laughing, it reminded me of old times the good old days when we still lived in Seattle, this year just got way more fun.
Jacob's p.o.v.
Taylor and Umaima sure were different. First of all Taylor used to be a little goodie-goodie and now she says shit! Shit was a very surprising thing to hear come out of her mouth. As for Umaima, she told me to hit puberty. She used to be even shyer than Taylor. This place is really different than forks was, even though it has changed ever since the girls left.
When they left we all took it a little hard. Actually a little hard is a huge understatement. We were all devastated. So many things depended on them. All of us were held together because of them. Edward has been doing okay since his new girlfriend came along. Bella is a nice girl but she could never replace the love he has for Taylor and Umaima. Edward is happy though and that's all that matters.
Since they left, Rosalie found a guy named Nate. Alice is with jasper, and Emmett is still single along with me. All of us kind of separated after Taylor and Umaima left. We still said hi in the hallways and stuff but we were never close again. And when I went on a date with 'princess' a.k.a. Serena, it got worse. When I was talking to her in the hallways I got dirty looks and rude hand gestures. The middle finger seemed to be attracted to me those few days. When I "broke up" with her they finally started talking to me again.
It was really sad that I couldn't tell Taylor anything about the others when she asked, I feel bad for that. The poor girl has been disconnected from us because we were all too stupid to get each others phone numbers, even when I loved her when we were kids.
That's right I loved Taylor. At least I did when I was a little kid. When she moved I was distraught. I never had a girlfriend I was waiting for her. I will never stop loving her. She is like a sister to me. Actually kind of like a stepsister. She's really hot – both of them are- but as far as dating her goes, not so much. Besides it's my job to protect her from all the horny teenage boys right? I still feel the need to protect my baby sister. I love her and Umaima and they need me so I am there, always will be.
