Chapter Two:

"Rachel!" yelled my sister again. Seriously, was she trying to kill me?

"Bella said to hurry up and get down here quickly!" screamed my sister and I thought I heard distant scolding from my stepmother. Apparently calling her Bella instead of Mother was unacceptable.

"Jacob is here," she added and giggled.

My eyes shot open and my head flipped up as if I were remotely programed that way every time I heard the word Jacob. I sigh and slapped my forehead, how can I be so immature, I thought. Love between a human and werewolf spelled impossible.

I tried to dress quickly and wore whatever my hand grabbed from the enormous closet that was a gift from Alice. Fashion was foreign word to me. Despite Alice's constant nagging and spending an enormous fortune on clothing, I always got to pick out some plain clothing that was comfortable instead of something nice. I snapped on a digital watch that I've received on my birthday from Jacob. It was sky blue, simple, and a memento from the person I have loved since the beginning of time.

I quickly brushed my hair that was long, wavy, and dark brown with shades of caramel highlights in the sunlight. My eyes were a chocolate brown with a tint of green when you looked closely(i guess you can call that hazel). But my voice was the feature that always stood out. No matter where I went, people praised the soft outlook of my voice. It was almost like a vampire's. Some even though my destiny was be a singer. Despite my unnatural features, I was never close to being as beautiful or graceful as the rest of my family. I've never known my parents or my background since I was raised by vampires. Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Bella, Reneesme, and.. Jacob, they are all people I call my family.

"Rachel Cull-" Bella started called but stopped halfway when I interrupted.

"Coming!" I yelled. I ran down the spiraling staircase in the enormous mansion I lived in deep in the woods. I went directly to the kitchen when though I presumed everyone would be in the living room since they didn't eat human food, but preferred an "animal diet". I was caught surprised by my family when they were standing in the kitchen waiting for me. My breath was caught at my throat. I would never get use to their inhuman ways.

"S-So.. What's the big deal?" I stuttered. Their faces looked amused.

Esme was the first to speak, "I hope we didn't frighten you," she stated in a motherly way. Esme was born to be a mother, or maybe a teacher, any job that was require an understanding, caring person like her. "We specially made you breakfast since it was you first day of school."

I bit my lips to keep back the tears from my eyes. I didn't want to admit it but I was touched by their thoughtfulness. Well, maybe everyone except Emmett who always joked around.

"Thanks you," I whispered softly and turned my head to escape the awkwardness. I looked at the dinning table and expected a carton of orange juice and maybe an omelette but it was a gourmet seemingly prepared for a king. I could only stand there staring, hardly surprised.

"Geez," I muttered quietly. I hear a familiar chuckle from the end of the table and turned around. It was Jacob.

"Jake!" I yelled, lounging towards him for a hug. "It's been forever since I've seen you."

"Yeah, there's so much work to do at La Push since Sam with Emily most of the time." He rolled his eyes.

"I've missed you." He replied softly staring into my eyes. It was like he was looking straight into my soul, seeing my feelings for him. He wrapped his arms around me and closed his eyes. He looked so peaceful and handsome as his dark hair spilled across his russet colored skin. He wore a plain white t-shirt that emphasized his muscular chest. Apparently we dressed alike. My hands reached to stroke his hair feeling the soft strands weave through my fingers.

"Ahem," coughed Emmett. Reneesme elbowed him and whispered something incoherent.

I blushed and I let go of Jacob awkwardly, missing the warmth of his body. I quickly ate breakfast which the rest of my family scrambled to the living room leaving me along with Jacob. We had short conversations about La Push and the tribe. There were a few upcoming events that he invited me to. I accepted gladly seeing him smile at my answer. I quickly finished breakfast and grabbed my bag checking if I've missed anything. I ran downstairs to say my goodbyes.

"Good luck Rachel!" said Alice with wide, beady eyes . And I though I was suppose to be excited. I smiled and gave her bear hug. She was so small. I was afraid I would break her delicate frame, yet I knew a bear would be no match against her. I noticed Jasper at the corner with his caramel eyes fixed on Alice. Even though my family has explained to me about their past, but I never really understood their centuries worth of emotions.

"Bye, everyone!" I yelled as I ran towards Jacob's truck. It was red and similar to Bella's orange truck. 'I built it myself' I heard him proudly say every time I rode in it.

"Rachel! Hurry up and get in. We're going to be late." scolded Reneesme. I rolled my eyes; it wasn't my fault I didn't have super speed or strength that vampires had. I got in the truck and stared outside the window pondering about how being Junior was going to be like. I had a few friends last year and wasn't sure how this year was going to turn out. At least guys weren't going to be on my top priorities. I've loved Jacob since I was born and won't stop anytime soon; I was positive about that. Despite my spacing out, the ride was long. Time always felt long and dragged by slowly. Sometimes an hour would feel like a day. I've always wondered why.

"Bye, Jake!" Reneesme and I said together in sync and waved as we got out.

"Nessie, take care of Rachel, okay?" he smiled his bright smile and waved goodbye. I saw Reneesme roll her eyes. "And, good luck," he flashed us a goofy grin and patted Reneesme's head while messing up her hair in the process.

"You guys are so lovey dovey sometimes," I heard her whisper quietly.

I blushed, " It's not like that, we aren't even a couple yet." I replied.

"Besides, you don't have to worry about guys, half the guys at school swoons at your very presence." I muttered, frowning.

"It can't be helped." she smirked. Her face transformed into a frown and her eyebrows twisted together. It was such a sad sight, that I couldn't bear from my own best friend.

"Sometimes I just wished that someone would love me." she turned away.

"Ness, I'm sure you will." I patted her head and lead her inside.
