Here is chapter two! It's Jake's POV! I hope you like my Jake for this story. :)

That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
She is so amazing

[What I Go to School For – Jonas Brothers]

The class groaned as Professor Wilton handed out a packet for an upcoming project. I, however, was excited. Physics II was by far my favorite class I had this semester. Embry was intently reading the packet and Paul was making a paper airplane out of it. How he managed to past Physics I and get into this class still confused me. His major didn't even require this class and yet he took it anyway. I quickly put the packet away and packed up my bag. In thirty minutes I had class with the most beautiful girl on campus. Sure, I love college, but she's really what I go to class for. I didn't need to take Children's Literature, but when I heard she had signed up for it, I had to be in her class.

I got up and walked from the room. I wanted to get to the building my next class was in, grab a bottle of water from the vending machine and make sure I had all my work done. Most of all, I wanted to see her. No, I wasn't stalking her. I have known Bella Swan my entire life. The only problem is, she doesn't seem to remember me. My dad and her dad have been best friends since I was born. Probably before that. Bella and I played when we were little, but she started to grow up and didn't want to go to the reservation any more. It was also a bit my fault. Anytime Dad was going to visit Charlie, I declined going. I was embarrassed. I had been in love with this girl since I was four years old. What would she think of me? I wasn't like the guys she dated. She dated athletes. Sure, I played football on the beach with the guys, but the reservation school didn't have sports teams. And none of us decided to transfer to Forks High. Well, expect Leah. Leah wanted to get out of the reservation school since we were ten years old. She dated different guys, but always from the reservation. However, one day she up and dumped Sam and never dated a guy again. It was very strange. Almost as strange as Bella and her being friends. I begged her to take me along with them when they did stuff but she never would.

It was because I am a nerd. I'm not afraid to admit it. I love school and I love reading. I love finding out new things. It started with the day my dad taught me how to change the oil on the car. I was a regular grease monkey after that. It extended to other things. Physics, chemistry, biology, algebra, calculus…the list goes on.

The only thing I didn't understand was girls. I didn't know the first thing about talking to them or approaching them…and neither did my friends. Well, except Paul. Paul and girls got along better than they should. But, he would never let me in on the secret.

And because I took this stupid class with the goddess that is Bella, I am failing. For the first time since I can remember I am actually struggling. It's not because I can't do it, but because I am too distracted!

When she has to read out loud in class, all I hear is her voice for the rest of the day. I am so screwed in that class. Well, I know I'll end up pulling off a passing grade but it'll look really bad with all my other A's.

"Dude! Why are you running?"

"Huh?"

"Jake, man, slow down."

"Oh, hey Embry. Sorry, I didn't mean to walk so fast."

"Sure. So, what are you in a rush for?"

"Nothing. I just need to look over some stuff for Lit. What's up?"

"Oh. You just rushed out so fast. I was going to ask you about the project and Paul started talking about his newest conquest and well I didn't want to hear about it."

"Oh, I hear you on that. So, ready to have class with Leah?"

"Jake. Shut up. The stupid crush I had on her has been gone for a very long time. You know that."

"Whatever. You've liked her since we were kids. You still like her."

"She'd kill me if she ever knew."

"I'm not going to tell her. She'd kill me just for saying it."

We both started laughing. It was so true. If I could ever talk to Bella, then maybe I would mention something. She seemed like the only person that wasn't afraid of Leah. Well, beside Alice and Angela.

Embry said goodbye and made his way to his next class. He had Calculus II with Leah. And then I saw her. She was walking a few paces in front of me, head in a book, as always.

She loved Children's Literature. She wanted to teach first grade and I knew she would make an excellent teacher.

We both made our way into the building and into the class. There wasn't a class in the room before us so we always just came as soon as we could. There was two other girls already in there so we sat down. Bella continued reading and I looked over the homework. She probably didn't even notice me. And was I going to go up to her? Nope. I'm a coward.

Reviews please? Because they make me want to write!
