Jacob's Point of View

I stared at her through the glass window of the classroom door. She was stunning. Her black hair fell onto the desk and covered half of her face. I longed to brush it back to see her face more clearly. Bella couldn't even begin to compare to the girl's soft beauty. I had been such an idiot back then. Suddenly she tensed, grabbing the sides of her desk. My eyes darted around the class. What was wrong? Was there danger? Her eyes moved slowly upwards until they met mine. Her mouth dropped open in horror at the sight of me. My heart panged. She was still afraid. Idiot! Did you think she was going to miraculously change her mind? My thoughts flashed back to when she had flinched away from me and grabbed that boy's arm. I shook off the thought trying to focus on the less painful present. I grabbed the door firmly, pulling it open. I practically died on the inside when she cringed. Why couldn't she see that I could never hurt her if I tried? I tried to act casual when I strolled in, even though I felt like I was dying. While the teacher introduced me I felt a shiver run down my back at her distress. Calm, Jacob. Calm, I told myself. Finally the teacher told me to take a seat. My eyes instantly locked onto the empty desk beside her. I tried hopelessly to ignore how her face grew white as I headed towards the seat. I needed to speak to her, to somehow reassure her with my voice. Strangely, though, when I looked at her my mind went blank. What was I doing? "Hi," was all I could manage. Great. I'm sure that really comforted her Jacob. I told myself. She grunted noncommittally, but I hung onto the sound. It was the only noise I had ever heard from her. I needed to hear more. "What's your name?" I asked, trying not to sound desperate (which I failed at miserably, not surprisingly since I couldn't do anything right). She scowled.

"Jamie." she muttered. Her voice was amazing. Literally music to my ears.

"Jamie. What a pretty name," I said, although pretty was the biggest understatement in the world.

"Um, whatever," she mumbled, looking away. The teacher finally began her lesson and I settled in my chair, continuing to stare at Jamie. The teacher's words slurred together, and I drifted off, recalling what had happened right after I had found her.


Whoa, dude. She's hot.

I growled. Embry just needed to shut his trap for once. I'd prefer it if you'd moon over someone who's not my imprint.

Just stating the facts, he thought as he pulled up beside me.

He's lucky that he was my best friend, otherwise, he would've been ripped to pieces by now. Embry flinched away from the mental picture.

Ha!

Chill out, Jake. Does this mean that you're over that leech?

What do you think, Embry?

Of course I was over her. In fact, I hadn't thought of her name once since last night.

Sheesh, get a grip would you. I can't wait to tell the others.

I rolled my eyes.

Again, her beautiful face entered my mind. Was she okay? Was she safe? I yearned to be with her, by her side, to comfort her and keep her out of harms way. Her being with next to me was more important than food and water. Even now I felt a dull ache right around where my heart was. I needed her. But how could I be with her? I couldn't just follow her around for no reason…she could barely stand me when I was twenty feet away from her. Abruptly, my heart sunk.

Ouch, Embry interrupted, wincing at my pain. I ignored him, my mind racing.

Does she live in La Push? Does she go to the high school?

No, she lives around Forks. I followed her home. You know...I could probably get transferred over to Forks.

An image of me and her smiling in talking formed in my head. Embry rolled his eyes.

C'mon, patrol's over.

We reeled around, my mind spinning in excitement for next Monday. I would see her again in person!

Excited for Monday…now that's a first. Just don't drool on the desk.

I was too happy to allow his comment to get to me.


"What are you staring at?" Jamie snapped at me, startling me out of my recollection. I pulled my eyes away from her quickly, my face heating up. Shit.

"Nothing," I stammered. She hated me. She absolutely despised me. And I deserved it.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," she retorted.

I bowed my head. She was right. Why was I being so obvious?

"Sorry," I said quietly, and turned away.
