A/N: I'm so sorry, again, for not uploading sooner! I haven't had any time to get on to the computer, but I am hoping I'll be able to upload more regularly.
After leaving the library, I quickly scampered my way through the hall, head down. I entered the classroom where my science class is held, lifting my head up for a few seconds to search for my usual seat. During those few seconds, I saw Jacob and Quil, sitting side by side at their table, waving their hands like maniacs.
I blushed, quickly lowering my head, hoping my hair would cover my cheeks. I rushed to my seat, which happens to be across the room from Jacob and Quil. I sat silently, pulling out the required materials.
The class went on as it usually did, except I swear I could feel eyes on me the whole time, making me fidget, uncomfortably a few times. When the bell shrilled, I gathered my things slowly, like I sometimes do, to avoid being trampled by the stampede of kids who were wanting to have some time to talk to friends, which wasn't hard, considering how small the school was, and how you usually had a few minutes left when you do make it to your next class.
When all my things were packed, I stood, surprised when I spotted Jacob standing near the door, watching me. I blushed again, silently cursing at how easy it was to make me do that. He smiled when he saw that I had seen him, and waited patiently was I cautiously made my way to him.
"Hey, Kat! How has your morning been?" he asked expectantly, walking much slower than his usual pace, to keep up with me.
"Umm, good I guess?" I replied, my head slightly turned away from him, watching my feet, hoping not to trip and embarrass myself.
"Awesome! I was wondering… Would you like to sit with me and my friends during lunch today?"
I almost forgot to continue to walk for a second, but continued on, hoping he didn't notice. Why would he ask me that? Did he not see how boring I was and how I hardly talked? No one is ever interested in trying to get to know me. Why would he? Is this still some kind of trick?
Realizing he asked the question quite a while ago, I quickly tried to answer. "Umm… uh s-sorry… umm… s-sure?" I stuttered out, embarrassed, feeling another blush rising to my cheeks.
"Cool! See you then!" he replied while turning to the opposite side I was, and entering the classroom there.
I continued walking, passing a few more classrooms, before I heard snickering to my left, in the almost silent hallway. I spared a quick glance, seeing that it was one of the popular girls. Twitching my head a certain way to curtain my face with hair, I tried to keep walking and ignore them but I still heard what they said.
"I can't believe Jake was talking to her! I mean, look at her clothes! And I have never heard her talk before. She is really ugly, too. Jakey is just too nice for his own good! Well whatever, he'll ditch her soon enough." she continued to annoyingly giggle to her friend next to her. I clenched my hands a bit, sparing one last glance.
Both girls had obviously dyed their hair blonde, seeing how they were full Quileute, and I could see their roots. They had clothes that completely disobeyed the dress code. Spaghetti-strapped tank-tops, showing off way too much cleavage, and extremely short shorts, that could easily be mistaken for underwear. I don't understand how they could wear that, especially in this cold weather.
When I could no longer see or hear them, I let my hands relax and walked into my classroom. I took my seat, and waited for class to begin.
Morning classes went on with no important events, and I was slowly making my way to the cafeteria, my packed lunch in one hand. As I entered the loud room, I stood, probably looking stupid, searching for a table filled with unusually large Quileute boys.
I spotted them quickly, along with the help of Quil, once again waving at me, his hand seen about the crowd of sitting students. I covered my face with hair again, and walked over to the table.
I stood for a second when I reached the table, not knowing where I was allowed to sit.
"Here, I saved you a seat," Jacob patted a seat between him and his other best friend, Embry. I smiled and sat down, shifting uncomfortably. I placed my lunchbox on the table, which was covered tons of food, more than normal for teenage boys.
"Kat, this is Embry, Quil, whom I'm sure you already know, Seth, Jared, and Paul," Jacob said, pointing out the people when calling their names. I lifted my hand moving it back and forth a little, and smiling a small smile.
Seth waved back, a lot more enthusiastic than me, Jared and Embry smiled, and Paul continued to eat food.
"Hey, Jake's told us a lot about you," Embry, who was to my right, said. How has he down that? I haven't told him much about me, but I still smiled and shook my head.
"Do you have any siblings? I do. Leah's kinda mean when you first meet her, but she's a good person inside!" Seth was looking over, grinning.
"Umm, y-yeah. I have a sister and brother, umm.. a half-sister, a step-sister, a-and a umm step-brother," I replied, then I panicked, hoping they heard me. I said it quite softly and I wasn't sure if they heard me over the chattering of other students.
Thankfully, they did, and Embry said, "Wow, that's a lot of kids. Must be a busy house."
I bit my lip, nodding my head, embarrassed. "Y-yeah, it is."
I saw Jacob open his mouth in the corner of my eye, I'm guessing he was about to ask me another question, but I felt a cold liquid hit my head, accompanied by something slimy.
"Oops," a voice giggled," Sorry."
