A/N: I skipped over the Victoria conversation since there's nothing new there and it would take too long to rewrite the whole thing. Got fav's, alerts and a review for the first chapter, not bad for my first post. Enjoy this chapter!

Warning(s): Sex (the gay kind), occasional underage drinking, swearing, some OOC.

Jacob POV

I leaned against my motorbike and ignored the stares from the teachers and students passing by. My thoughts kept flicking from that vampire we caught going after Bella, Bella herself, and...him. Guy's imprinting on guys was rare but not unheard of. It had already happened once in our pack. Twice technically since it was Embry and Jared imprinting on each other, but still...

Dad had been...more surprised than anything else. He had been hoping I would imprint, and I think that when he's had time to get his head around it he'll be...okay with it. Now all I had to do was find him. How the hell would I even introduce myself? 'Hi I'm Jacob, I sometimes run around on four legs with fur and I think you're my soul-mate?'. If I was luckily the worst that would happen would be him laughing at me. To be honest I had no idea what I would do when we met, I would just have to make it up as I went along and hope I didn't embarrass myself too badly.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I barely notice the leech's car come screeching into the car park way faster than was necessary, recklessly sure he could keep himself from hurting any of the other people. He was so arrogantly certain of himself. He pulled to a stop and climbed out of the car. He was smiling, so he must not have noticed I was there yet. He walked round and opened the door for Bella, helping her out of her seat. I was just trying to get what I was going to say straight in my head, when the back door opened and he stepped out.

It was all I could do not to run over there and rip that blood-sucking leech's head off. What the hell was he doing with my imprint? I could actually feel myself beginning to shake as the wolf in me tried to break free and rip the vampire apart. I kept glancing from the leech to my imprint, mixed feelings of love and hatred waring inside me. Then he looked up and we stared into each others eyes. Immediately all thoughts of violence were gone, replaced by an incredible sense of calm and well-being.

I have no idea how long we looked at each other like that, and I had no idea what had made him look at me, but it was probably the intesity of my gaze that stopped him from looking away. He was staring back at me so...strangely, like he was trying to remember where he'd seen me before. Of course he had seen me once before, but I'd been a lot bigger and furrier then. We kept staring at each other, until he finally walked out of sight and into the school building.

I kept staring at the last spot I had seen him in, until a gust of wind blew the sickly sweet stench of vampire past me. I snapped my head around and realised that Bella and the leech were standing just a few feet away from me. Bella was looking at me curiously, while Edward was clearly fighting back a smile. Crap, he was in my head right now, and now he knew about the imprint, and the worst part was that he knew more about my imprint than I did.

"Who was that?" I asked Bella, pointedly not looking at Edward. She gave me another curious look, then glanced towards where he had gone.

"Thats Daniel." She said, as though the name of my imprint was the most normal thing in the world. "He's my cousin. He and his mom just moved here yesterday."I turned my head back towards the school, wondering when, not if, I would see Daniel again. After a moment Bella cleared her throat and got my attention again.

"Was there something else you wanted, Jake?" She asked. After a quick mental backtrack I remembered why I was there in the first place. I tried to keep my focus on the following conversation, but vampires and Bella were suddenly so much less important when my imprint was so close. I spent most of my time wondering what he smelt like, or what his voice sounded like when he spoke. Finally I managed to get Bella to realise that her leech had lied to her. She seemed way to calm about it, but I didn't really care about the two of them anymore. Which reminded me...

"Bella, one more thing." I said, just as they were turning too leave. "This thing with...us." I made a quick gesture that took in me and her, while excluding Edward. "It's not a problem anymore." I said simply. Bella blinked in surprise, her mouth open in a small 'o'. After a second she finally managed to ask.

"Why?" She didn't sound disappointed, just confused and surprised. I immediately tried to think of ways to explain that I had imprinted on her cousin, but then I caught Edward smirking at me from behind her and I scowled.

"Ask him." I suggested. "He's been crawling around in my head long enough." I had decided not to do this after I got over Bella, but the anger I felt at him reading my mind made me rethink. I focused on a memory that wasn't mine, one that I had taken from Sam exactly for this moment. It was when he had found Bella in the woods after Edward had left her. It was actually much easier to remember the image now that I wasn't so in love with her, but that just seemed to make it even worse for Edward.

"What are you doing?" Bella demanded when she saw Edward wince. I just smirked and let him answer.

"Jacob just has...a good memory." He said, his voice slightly strained. I stopped concentrating and he seemed to relax slightly. He reached out and took Bella lightly by the arm. "Let's go, the principals on his way to discourage loitering." I raised an eyebrow and smirked louder.

"Overprotective much?" I asked. "Hey Bella, next time you feel like enjoying yourself come visit the garage. And bring your cousin, he looks fun." I was amazed at how wrong it felt to reduce how amazing Daniel looked too 'looks like fun'. Bella didn't seem to notice, and she and Edward walked away without another word.

I watched them go silently, then glanced over at the building where I knew Daniel was. I stayed there until I heard the principal approach, then kicked my bike into gear and rode away, trying to think of some way to get me and Daniel together...

Daniel's POV

Where had I seen those eye's before?

They had caught my attention from clear across the car park. Like pools of dark chocolate staring at me. I was still getting over the fact that there were two gorgeous men in this town, although to be honest I hadn't seen enough of them both to rank them properly.

The Native American guy had caught my attention as soon as we drove into the car park. He was leaning against his motor bike, his arms folded across his chest so all his muscles were stretching against the fabric of his t-shirt. I doubted I would come up to his shoulder if I stood next to him, he was that tall.

He had looked up as I climbed out of the car and then just...looked. He had stared at me like a blind man who had just seen the sun for the first time, and I couldn't look away. I didn't want to either. His eyes had been so intense I had felt like I was being pulled in. It was actually quite a turn on.

There was an upside and a downside to this, the upside was that Edward had been completely driven from my mind, and the downside being that I had completely lost my ability to concentrate on anything aside from those eyes. That was not good a thing when it was your first day and you were trying to make a good impression on people. I had managed to answer most of the questions that the teachers had asked, and I had got the names of a few people who were in more than one of my classes.

Ashley was in my chemistry and english classes, and she seemed to be the clown in both of them. I was sitting next to a boy called Michael in my biology class, he was quiet and shy, but he seemed nice. Apparently his older sister Angela was friends with Bella. Both of them were part of a group of about seven kids who hung out together at lunch and with a group that size it was easy to find someone to talk to.

At fifteen (sixteen in a couple of months) I was one of the youngest there. There had been a bit of a fuss over the fact that I was Bella's cousin, and a couple of people had asked me questions about the Cullen's. When they realised I didn't know anything more about them than they did they turned their interest to me. After answering questions about where I used to live and dodging/ignoring questions about things like my dad and girlfriends I got the chance to ask them about Forks.

It took a while but I finally managed to get them to tell me about the Quileute reservation, and shortly after that they started telling me about-

"Jacob Black?" Ashley asked, putting her drink down and looking at me curiously. "I thought you'd know more about him than we do."

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously, not understanding why I was getting such weird looks from people. Luckily Ashley loved to talk.

"Well, after Edward left last year Bella started hanging out with Jacob. He ended up getting a crush on her or something, and then when Edward came back he was not happy that she just dumped him like that. Now the two of them hate each other, and Bella's ended up with two guys fighting over her." Ashey's tone sounded like she was just a little bit jealous of Bella, and to be honest I was too.

"So what was he doing here today?" I asked, remembering the way he looked at me in the car park.

"I think he was here for a fight." She said eagerly, her eyes lighting up at the thought. "And my money's on Jacob. He's got real muscle..." She trailed off into silence at that happy thought. It took all my concentration not to do the same.

"Are you guys talking about the Quileutes?" Another girl sitting on the other side of me asked, her phone snapping shut as she spoke. "'Cos I was just on the phone to Seth and they've just decided to throw another barbecue tonight." She turned to me and smiled. "You should come Daniel, it's good fun and you get to meet people." I was at least ninety percent certain her name was Sarah.

"Sound's good." I agreed. "Who's Seth?"

"The boy she fancies." Michael said quietly, a small smile on his face. It was the first thing he had said all lunch, but it got a round of laughter from the whole table.

"I don't fancy him!" Maybe-Sarah protested, blushing furiously. "I just think he's cute...and sweet...and funny..." She stopped talking when she realised she was just digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole. We all laughed at her again and she ducked her head over her food, turning an even deeper shade of red.

"Sure, I'll come." I said, settling back into my seat. "Sounds like fun." And maybe I would get the chance to see Jacob again...

A/N: I know, I'm just teasing you with all these close encounters. Well don't worry, next up is the barbecue... remember- reviews=motivation=faster updates ;)
