Clueless

My first week of classes was great; grandpa Charlie is still here (he stayed to celebrate mom's birthday, who was supposed to turn 24) and we are planning going to Forks in a couple of weeks. April is already my best friend, she's a little quirky but I think that's actually cool, although every person in school thinks she's just a freak, only because she dresses funny and she's always with a book in front of her nose, but people in here doesn't know that – between April and I – I'm the real freak…

A lot of people is always picking on April, especially Carla, who I learned was the head cheerleader and her dad is some kind of millionaire, making her a really annoying daddy's girl. I almost got into a fight with her the other day, but I kept my cool; I know I can kick her ass, there's no need for me to show her.

Chris still is the same jerk I've met the first day; he too bothers April, but he also tries flirting with me, without success, obviously… Jake is getting pissed with Chris' attitude, but I told him it was not worth it, while swooning all the time by he's reaction; I still can't decide if he's acting jealous 'cause he sees me like his sister or because he wants me for himself, let's hope for the latter.

Also, I'm officially on the volley team – I had to plead my parents for two days before they gave me their permission, warning me to be really cautious and advising me to drop the ball once in a while, – the girls in the team (there are no boys) were really excited when they saw me playing, they are all nice and April and I started sharing the same table at lunch with them.

Finally, but not least; Josh. I still don't know what's his deal; he is always looking at me with curiosity, but never talks to me, and when I try to approach him he makes excuses and walks away as fast as his feet let's him. He still smells like he's been hanging with a vampire, but my dad still can't hear anything useful going on in his mind and they are already planning following him.

"If we know that he's been hanging with a vampire, the vampire he's hanging with must know about us," uncle Jasper said and everyone in my family nodded, except for Grandpa Charlie and Granma Sue who were with Seth traveling around the city.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Because the vampire must already smell yours and your mother scent all over him," he answered.

"But they can't know for sure it's me and mom," I replied.

"Honey, you two showed up and the smell showed up, it's not too difficult to figure it out," dad added.

"Oh," I said. "I guess you are right."

"Don't worry Ness," Jacob said squeezing my shoulder. "We'll go and see for ourselves who this vampire is."

"Maybe you should let me talk to him first," I argued.

"Not until we know what we are dealing here," dad replied.

"I wish that Jacob weren't so set in going with us, at least by that way I'll be able to see ahead," aunt Alice said annoyed, shoving Jake at the same time.

"I've told you," he replied, rolling his eyes. "I need to see for myself if this is a threat against Nessie or not."

"I get it," she told him. "But it still annoys me."

"What if we tied the dog on the back yard?" Rose asked smirking.

"You know there's no chain strong enough to stop me," Jake answered with a smirk as wide as hers.

"Besides, you know Nessie would find the way to untie him," uncle Emmett added and I blushed knowing that was probably truth.

"Okay, so Bella, Edward, Alice, Jake and I will go," uncle Jazz said. "We'll park in front of the house and we'll send Jacob – in his human form – to smell the area, we don't want to leave our smell all over the place."

"What if the smell is not coming from there?" I asked.

"We'll go to Josh's usual spots, we've been following him for the past couple of days for that reason," uncle jasper added.

"Are we ready?" Mom asked.

After two hours of me pacing around the room – with Emmett and Rose's eyes following me – the rest of my family got home after going to Josh's house.

"Did you see the vampire?" I asked them the moment they were inside.

"No, but we have a pretty good idea of who it may be," dad answered me.

"How?" I asked.

"The scent was in his house, but only in one of the rooms," Jacob told me, going to the kitchen and fetching a coke for him and one for myself. "We supposed the owner of the room was Josh's sister."

"Was?" I asked confused. "You believe that Josh's sister is the vampire?"

"Yep, 'cause the only human scent in the room was Josh's and no one else's, not even the smell of his parents."

"We looked in the internet and found out that her sister went missing almost six years ago," mom added, "but the police didn't gave much thought to the case 'cause she was involved in drugs and thought she'll show up dead in an alley, but she never did."

"We also think we know who made her a vampire," Jacob told me, winking.

"Do you have to give her every little piece of information?" my dad asked him, annoyed.

"She said earlier she wanted to know everything, that's what I'm giving her," Jacob defended himself.

"You now Jake always gives Nessie whatever she wants," my mom told my dad with a pointed look.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" I asked, annoyed by their little confrontation; is not the first time this happens and it won't be the last.

"When your mom was human there was a vampire trying to kill her," aunt Alice said, annoyed by their discussion also.

"Really?" I asked, surprised. My family don't talk too much about my mom's human years; not because they don't want to talk about it, but they only answer the things I ask, but I can't ask something I can't possibly know that may or may not have happen, that's why I know the basics and I always found new things this way, like the time I found out that my dad almost killed my mom the first time they met.

"To make a long story short," my mom said, rolling her eyes to Aunt Alice who just shrugged, I looked at Jacob and he winked at me, letting me know he would tell me everything my mom left behind. "This vampire named Victoria – the one who wanted me dead – created and army to fight our family. They transformed a lot of people here in Seattle, always people from the street, so their deaths would go unnoticed. We believe, from Shelly's background and the time she went missing, that she was transformed by Riley – Victoria's second in command – but found the way to run away."

"Shelly?" I asked.

"Josh's sister," Jacob answered.

"Oh," I bitted my lip wondering about what was next. Does Josh know his sister is a vampire? I think so, why will Shelly come all the way to Seattle if it wasn't for him? Has Shelly smelled my mom or me in Josh's clothes? I'm pretty sure she has; I always sit next to him in math and I've been told my scent is no something you run into everyday. Does he know my mom is a vampire? Does he know I'm not human either? I think I got to talk to him.

"I think that would be the best," my dad added, listening to what I was thinking.

"What's for the best?" Jake asked, he was playing with a lock of my hair absentmindedly without me noticing; I blushed and looked at the other side when I noticed.

"I think that Nessie should talk to Josh," my dad told him. "But I think you should test the water first."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe you should ask if he has any siblings," he said.

"Oh, sure," I nodded, biting my lip.

"I don't like this," Jake stated.

"Of course not," Aunt Rose said rolling his eyes. I felt a little fight coming and I wasn't in the mood for it, so I got up and walked outside, I told my dad in my mind that I was going to be at the park that was a couple of blocks away.

I was lying in the grass looking at the clouds that were covering the sky, thinking about Josh's situation and how terrible must be to lose someone you love when a breeze brought me Jake's scent, I made no attempt to move and he just lied on the grass next to me.

"I don't want you near that boy," he said. I could feel the heat coming from his body; he was always running a few degrees above normal human temperature, just like me.

"You already said that," I reminded him. "Like a million times, already."

He snorted and turned around, looking at me with his hand propped under his head.

"I know I can be a little overprotective," he said looking at me, even though I was still looking at the sky.

"A little?" I asked, now it was my time to snort.

"Okay, a lot," he said rolling his eyes. "But is my job to protect you."

"Why do you always say that?" I asked him, this time looking at his eyes, a half smile formed in his face.

"Because I always felt that was my job, from the moment I saw you, I knew my job was to protect you," he told me this with so much intensity that for once I thought he may feel about me the same way I feel about him. That's when Seth arrived.

"Hello, children," he said, standing above me and looking at me in the eyes.

"Hello," I replied, slightly annoyed. "How was your day?"

"It was fine," he said shrugging, sitting in the grass next to me. "I heard about that John guy."

"Josh," I corrected him, Seth just rolled his eyes and took a bite from a sandwich he was holding in his hand.

"Are you going to talk to him?" he asked me, but before I was able to answer Jacob spoke.

"Of course she is," he said, stilling Seth's sandwich. "She's dead set on talking to him, no matter what I – or anyone else for that matter – say."

Jacob stood up and walked away, without looking at me.

"He must really hate John," Seth said.

"Josh," I corrected him again. "And he is mad at me, not at him."

"He can get mad at you," Seth said rolling his eyes and I snorted. "For real, he can't."

"Well, he didn't get the memo today," I told him. "How is everything going at UDub?"

"Fine," he said shrugging off.

"Any girl you fancy yet?" I ask him, fluttering my eyelashes.

"Nah," he said looking at the sky. "I've look at the eye of almost every girl in my class, and no one got what it takes."

"Are you waiting for your imprint?" I asked and he raised his eyebrows in shock.

"What do you know about imprinting?" Seth asked me.

"A little; Jake told me is stronger than the stronger feeling you have ever had," I answered, trying to grasp anything like it and failing miserably. How can I imagine something like that, if my very own feelings are too overwhelming?

"When did he tell you this?" Seth asked again.

"A couple of years ago, at your mom and my grandpa's wedding, when your sister imprinted on Sam's baby."

"Oh," he said and looked to the ground.

"You'll found someone, I'm sure of it," I told him, squeezing his shoulder. "You are a sweet person, you're smart and funny. There must be an imprintee somewhere for you."

"I hope you are right," he said with a half smile. "I love you Ness."

"I love you too Seth," I smiled and got up. "Wanna go to the swings?"

He grabbed my hand and we went to the swings.

"Do you know how are you going to approach Josh's situation?" Seth asked me, with emphasis on Josh's name.

"Yep," I answered, biting my lip.

"And?" he pressed.

"I'm going to ask him out."
