First off: Disclaimers to Stephenie Meyer and Tomoko Hayakawa.

"What's with the hold up?" Edward asked a girl in front of him, it was clearly a mistake as she fell to the ground in disbelief that Edward had asked her a question. Jasper, who was the tallest, stood on his tiptoes.

"Some guy and his crew blocking the gates," Jasper informed everyone. Bella could barely see what was ahead and she was afraid to stand on her tiptoes in case she ended up in the hospital by trying.

"Excuse me, what school are you from?" Mr. Greene bellowed at the crowd. He later regretted this as his voice had a quaver of worry as he said, "Please leave the premises now, or I will call the police."

Bella was mad. She was mad because of the fact she had literally been forced into the Volvo that morning by Emmett, when she was airing Stephen.

It was tradition for Bella to clean and polish and air Stephen out every two months. Edward, Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett had found this disturbing, but Bella carried around with towels and what not to polish Stephen. Stephen was Bella's best friend after all.

Jacob Black was famous all around Washington. Originally from La Push he made his way around trying to fight the strongest guy in each major place. Now he was in Forks, he had obviously heard about Edward Masen. No one had crossed Edward since the school fair disaster, even though it was Bella who kicked Mike's ass. There was a groan coming from the front of the crowd and a low 'ooh' noise.

"Where is Edward Masen?" Jacob was heard shouting at the principal. Jacob was not in control of his emotions. He wanted to know where Edward was, and by punching the PE teacher he got his answer.

"Here."

Jacob turned around. The crowd of students behind him had separated into two, and Edward boldly walked down the crowd.

"What do you want?" Edward asked coolly.

"A fight." Jacob answered quickly. Edward scoffed. He shook his head and turned his back on Jacob and walked away from the crowd. Jacob was red with anger. Bella, seeing the crowd parting as an opportunity to get into school, had walked down and saw the PE teacher covered in blood. Bella saw the blood and walked over towards it. She ripped her blazer and made it into a ball to stop the bleeding. She then marvelled at the blood. She touched it cautiously and sniffed at it. This was her real-life gory movie perfect scenario. She was gushing in happiness. Jacob looked at Bella, and was taken aback.

"As expected of Bella Swan, even a tough guy like Jacob Black is afraid of her," Emmett mumbled to Carlisle. Carlisle agreed.

"I...I..." Jacob stuttered. His posse were confused.

"I?" they asked themselves. They had never seen Jacob like this. This was definitely new. Jacob's cheeks were turning pink, his eyes filling with emotion. His arms dropped. His face softened.

"I...I think I've fallen in love," Jacob whispered uncertainly. His gang was shocked. How could Jacob, Jacob Black, the toughest guy in Washington ever fall in love? And if so, with Bella? Bella the creepiest girl alive?

"She's cute," Jacob said his eyes shining.

"He sure has weird tastes," a girl giggled to another girl. Jacob glared at her, and she blushed violently and turned away.

"Wait. That's not going to work," a voice said out of the crowd. Alice pushed herself into the ring that had formed around Bella, Jacob and the PE teacher.

"Why?" Jacob sneered, he obviously didn't think Alice was pretty despite wolf-whistles from his gang.

"Because Bella has Edward," Alice said confidently.

"Don't say things that aren't true," Bella said in an undertone.

"It is though, you like Edward, it's blatantly obvious," Alice replied in an undertone. Bella ignored her comment and carried on holding the wad of cloth that had once been her blazer.

"Edward's not hers!" the girls in the crowd protested, "He's ours, or to be honest, mine!"

"Ha. Edward? I came all the way to fight him for a title, but I didn't think I'd be a love rival with him," Jacob jeered. Edward was oblivious to the fight in the parking lot. He sat in the Volvo to get away from the cold and to listen to Debussy.

There was a sudden erratic rapping on the window. It was Carlisle. Edward got out of the car and followed Carlisle in bafflement.

"What's going on?" Edward asked Carlisle.

"You won't believe it if I told you," Carlisle told Edward. Edward stopped, and Carlisle sighed and looked at him.

"Seriously. You won't."

"I challenge you, Edward for this beauty," Jacob said, as soon as Edward was in Jacob's line of vision, Jacob's arm was pointed in the direction of Bella.

"What?" Edward asked in perplex. Carlisle was right, he didn't believe what had been said and challenged.

"I'm going to fight you for this girl," Jacob sighed, glowering at Edward.

"No, thanks. I don't get into fights that are extremely," Edward started and then he looked casually at Bella, "pointless."

Jacob was extremely angry by Edward's second rejection.

"Are you afraid you're going to lose, pretty boy?" Jacob teased. Edward raised an eyebrow, it was all Jacob needed to insinuate a fight. Edward pushed past Jacob and went into school, much to Jacob's displeasure.

"Bella, we should get to school now," Alice whispered to Bella. Bella made sure that the PE teacher could get up before leaving his side. Her hands were covered in blood and she had to clean her hands before homeroom before she was accused of a murder. This idea of being accused of murder pleased her, except that her intended victim was walking about and was breathing.

"Excuse me," Bella said to Jacob. They looked at each other for a fraction of a second and then Jacob moved aside.

"Thank you."

Bella and Alice walked awkwardly into school, and the crowd of people walked in after them, leaving Jacob and his gang outside in the cold.

Secondly, I am not prejudiced against Jacob. This was written (and the rest of chapters with Jacob featured in it) before Breaking Dawn was published. After reading the book, I love Jacob, and this chapter was just showing how much Jacob loves Bella.

Finally, Review please? (Nearly 100. Woo-hoo.)
