I spent Sunday lounging around with Jake in the morning. The other guys came over at around twelve all apart from Sam who was working. I'll admit I missed him a little, but it was a miniscule amount…not that much.
Monday I got up nice and early to get ready for school. I was excited, which was a first for me when it came to going to school. I had to make sure everything was perfect for me. La Push High was either going to be heaven or hell and I was looking forward to finding out which one it was.
I had a steaming shower and washed my hair before getting dry and twisting my hair up and clipping it in place, a few stray strands curled becomingly around my face and the nape of my neck.
I lined my eyes with black liquid-liner, flicking it out at the edges, a little mascara coated my lashes and I put a little gloss on. Make-up for me wasn't much unless I was going out or going to a special occasion.
It was a hot day today so I chose to wear a nice white summer dress that fell to my knees and swung with my movement. It was tight enough to show off my figure without showing my underwear. Which was white lace today by the way.
I slid on my glitzy flip flops and grabbed my small black shoulder bag that I kept school essentials in and plodded downstairs.
Dad was in the kitchen making pancakes, he smiled at me when I walked in.
"Morning, Baby. You ready for school?" He asked brightly, he was wearing his uniform so I guess he was going to work later.
"Yep, I cant wait." I said honestly and sat down at the kitchen table. He placed a plate in front of me that had a few pancakes on it, smothered in syrup.
"Good good. I wont be back until six." he sat down opposite me and tucked into his breakfast.
"That's ok. I'm picking Collin and Brady up from school and we're all coming back here. I'm making dinner. I was thinking Lasagne. The guys will probably stay too."
"Sure that sounds lovely." He smiled again, I could tell he was happy.
"So Dad, have you got a girlfriend?" I asked, smiling as his cheeks flushed.
"Erm…yes actually. I'm dating Sue Clearwater." I raised an eyebrow at this.
"Seth and Leah's mom?"
"Yep."
"Holy shit!" I yelled and he looked a bit worried. "Not in a bad way, I just meant that if things go well I'd have a big sister and a little brother." I sighed happily.
"She's the one, Bells. I loved your mother so much but this…this is just that and so much more. Sue's my world." Awww! So sweet.
"As long as you happy Dad, as long as your happy." was all I said. I knew mom leaving him was hard on him so I'm just glad he has someone to make him feel happy again.
"Sam's working today, but I think he gets off early enough to come over after school. Depends on what going on." Dad felt the need to tell me.
"Whatever." I shrugged and he coughed.
"Bells, its obvious you like him, why don't you just give it a try?"
"Why does everyone keep saying that to me. Its annoying." I huffed.
"Aww, Sweetie, we all love you, we want you to be happy." he smiled at me again, and shrugged his huge shoulders. "Shall I tell Billy to come over for dinner. If everyone's here he'll be all alone. I hate to do that to the guy."
"Yeah, absolutely." I answered before getting up and putting my empty plate in the sink. "Just chuck everything in the sink when your done. I'll wash up when I get back."
He 'mm-hm'd' and I kissed him on the head.
"Have a good day." he called.
"And you, Daddy." I called back as I headed out.
I ran next door and knocked. Jacob came out with his bag over his shoulder. He was wearing some denim shorts and a t-shirt that had 'Hot Dog' written on it surrounded by red and orange flames.
"Good morning." he said cheerily and kissed my cheek.
"Good morning to you, handsome. Hop in, I'll give you a lift."
"Yes, turning up to school in a Ferrari with a beautiful woman on my arm. I've reached my life goal." I laughed at him and jumped in.
The ride to school was pleasant. He told me about the best and worst teachers. When I drove into the parking lot it was crowded. Every head turned our way as my car pulled into a spot next to Paul's blue camaro.
Paul, Jared, Kim, Seth, Quil and Embry were leant on their cars. Chatting away. Jake and I stepped out and I noticed how everyone was still staring at me.
I sighed and Jake put his arm around my shoulders.
"Get used to it, babe. Your big news here. 'Chief Swan's daughter…back from hell' or phoenix but hey, you say potato, I say…" I laughed at him.
"Got it Jake."
I said hello to the guys and then Kim offered to take me to the office to grab my schedule.
"Sure, thanks." I replied and said I'd see the guys later. I don't know who's classes I'd be in but I know some classes are mixed Seniors and Juniors, so I might be with Jake at some point.
We walked through parking lot, ignoring the stares and excited chatter.
"Are you coming to the bonfire on Friday?" I asked Kim as we entered the office.
"Of course. We have them a few times a month. All the guys go." right.
"Do you know what their going to tell me?" I asked, she got a guilty look on her face straight away.
"Yeah, but its nothing to worry about really."
"Your not going to tell me?"
"I wish I could but its not my place." she smiled ruefully and the bell went. "Oh I got to get to class. Are you ok from here?"
"Yep, see you later." she ran to class and I turned and stepped into the office.
There was a large woman with frizzy black hair sitting behind the desk, singing a song to herself quietly. I could barley make out the words.
I walked up to the desk and smiled, she looked up when she heard my footsteps.
"Hello dear, how can I help you?"
"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan, I'm new."
"Ah yes, nice to meet you Miss Swan. I have all your stuff right here." she started collecting some papers. She handed me a slip of pink paper. "You'll need to get this signed by all your teachers and then bring it back to me at the end of the day."
"Ok, thank you." I took the paper.
"And this here is your schedule." she handed me another piece of paper and I glanced down at my Classes; English, Biology, Trig, Lunch and then Music and Gym.
"We're so happy to have you here, Miss Swan. Charlie's been waiting a long time to have you back." she smiled, her pearly teeth flashed against her copper skin.
"Well, its good to be back. Thank you again."
"See you later, Dear." she waved as I left the office.
I made my way to my English class, and wasn't surprised when the room got quiet when I walked in.
The teacher — Mr Walters — was an attractive man, probably mid-to-late thirties. He was rocking the silver fox look, and had great strong features. Instead of a suit those old bag teachers wear he was wearing dark jeans and a dark blue sweater. I bet he was quite the catch with the ladies in the staffroom.
"Hi, I'm Bella. You have to sign this." I walked up to him and handed him the paper. He smiled brightly at me.
"Nice to meet you Miss Swan. Your fathers always talking about you." I raised an eyebrow.
"You get caught up with the police often?" ok so I was flirting the teeniest bit.
He laughed, "No, your father and I are friends. Sometimes I join him and Billy for a bit of fishing."
I smiled at him as he signed my slip.
"Yo, Hells Bells. Come and keep me company, Baby!" a deep voice yelled out.
I turned and laughed when I saw Paul. He slammed his hand down on the empty chair next to him, making a few people jump from the loud bang.
I looked back at the teacher, who actually looked amused. He nodded, telling me I could sit there. I took my slip back and walked over to Paul, who pulled me into his lap with a smile and hugged me tight.
Everyone was staring with wide eyes.
"Paul, what are you doing?" I asked slowly.
"Giving you a hug, duh!" he said as if it was the most obvious thing and I should be thinking that instead of 'why the hell is this dude suffocating me'
"Hug me later…at my house…when there aren't people around who think your crazy. At least the people there know your crazy." I sniggered when his grip loosened.
"Sam will kill me if I touch you around him." urgh, so Sam is coming later.
"Screw Sam." I huffed
His chest rumbled with laughter, "Take your own advice." he said slyly and I huffed again. I so wont be screwing Sam…anytime soon.
"Leave me alone, I'm not talking to you now." I pouted and he looked up at me.
"Aw, come on Bells. I didn't mean it. You don't really have to screw Sam. It'll make you both as cranky as fat kid locked in a cell full of hologram cakes but we'll make it through." I couldn't help but laugh at him.
The teacher cleared his throat, "As interesting as your conversation is, we're still in an English lesson."
I got in my seat and listened throughout the class. We were starting Romeo and Juliet…again. It wasn't too bad. Mr Walters was cool. Soon enough the bell went and Paul and I went our separate ways.
I was trying to find the Biology class and having no luck, which make me utterly stupid seeing as though the High School was pretty small.
"You lost?"
I turned to see a guy with short blonde hair walk up to me. There was another two guys, one either side of him. They were twins…hot…they had chin length chocolate hair and warm, rich skin. They were about 5'10".
The blonde had pale skin, and bright blue eyes. He was a little taller than the other two.
"Erm, yeah. I'm trying to find Biology." I spoke up and they all smiled like the cat that caught and slaughtered the canary.
"Well, we're just heading there. We'll show you." he was within arms reach now. "I'm Landon, by the way. And this is Archer and Colton." hmm unusual names. I liked them. They all had their eyes rimmed with thin black pencil eyeliner. They had a gothic/biker look going on for them, which was pretty hot.
"Bella." I offered and they nodded their heads.
"We know. Come on, its this way." we headed down the corridor.
"So, are you glad to be back in La Push?" Archer asked, he was to one with the tribal cross tattoo on his neck, so it was easy to tell them apart.
I down at him (since I was taller) "Yeah, I love being back. I've missed this place so much."
I figured these guys thought they were hardass, with the tattoos, and the leather jackets they were wearing. They all had on ripped dark jeans, Landon had a silver chain hanging from his belt loops. They all had piercings on their bottom lips, Archer had snakebites. Colton had both his eyebrows pierced and a scaffold piercing.
"When did you get back?" Colton asked in a deep, almost guttural voice.
"Thursday." I stated simply.
We arrived at the classroom and Landon pulled me in by my hand. It was a little weird but they were being nice. The teacher wasn't even here yet. I looked around and noticed that no-one I knew was in this class.
"Come sit with me." Landon said, pulling me over to a desk, the twins sat behinds us and I noticed that Landon smiled and clapped the two boys in front of us on the back.
"Bella, this is Kyle and Luke." Landon informed me, I smiled at the two boys and said hello.
Kyle was a sweet guy. He had floppy brown hair and a cheesy smile. His eyes were a light brown, and he was also wearing a leather jacket and dark jeans.
Luke had spiky black hair and piercings all the way down both ears. He smiled brightly at me and shook my hand.
"So Bella, I saw you with Black earlier. What's the deal there?" Colton asked. Both he and Archer leant against my desk, eyebrows raised. I could feel the interest of the others as well.
"Jake's my best friend. I've known him a long time." I answered.
They seemed happy with that.
The teacher stormed in. Her hair in a frizzy damp mess around her face. Her cheeks flushed. She straightened out her blouse before plopping down in her chair with a happy sigh and announced to the class that they could chat amongst themselves for this lesson. The class buzzed excitedly and I studied her as she leant her head back and closed her eyes, a tiny smile on her lips.
"Wow, she must be real pissed. She cant be bothered to teach. It's cause she hates us." Landon said. Kyle and Luke had turned their seats around to face us and the twins had grabbed their stools and placed them at either end of our table before plonking themselves down.
I laughed, and they all looked at me, eyebrows raise.
"That, my friend, is not a tired and pissed look. That's Afterglow. Yep she just had hot, steamy, sweaty sex and is now basking on a high."
"No way!" Luke exclaimed, I giggled again and nodded.
"How do you know that?" Archer asked, I gave him a 'Duh-I've-been-through-the-same-thing' look and he smiled somewhat flirtatiously.
"Alright so we're gunna get to know you a bit more by asking 'your favourite' questions, ok?" Landon said, it was obvious that he was the 'leader' of this group. Almost how it seemed Sam was the 'leader' in ours.
"Ok, that's fine by me. Shoot."
They all smiled at me, "What's you favourite colour?" Kyle asked.
"Hmm, depends, it changes depending on what colour the thing I like is."
"What your favourite T.V show?" Archer said.
"Family guy by far!" I giggled, I was obsessed.
Landon said, "What's your favourite place in the world?"
"My bed!" they all raised their eyebrows suggestively, "I like my sleep." I insisted.
"Sure." Luke said sarcastically and I just giggled.
"What's your favourite fruit?"
"Banana!" they all cracked up laughing and I rolled my eyes.
"Gross, you sick minded boob-brains!" I half yelled, making the people chatting nearest us turn and stare. I bit my lip to stifle my laughter and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Favourite type of music?" Colton asked, still smiling brightly.
"I like loads of different types. From death-metal to classical." I looked at his black HIM t-shirt and nodded my head appreciatively, "Nice" he looked down and smiled.
I fingered Landon's ring. It was a skull with fangs that bit into his finger. "That's cool." I giggled.
He took it off and slid it onto my middle finger on my right hand.
"Here, you can keep it. I have others I can wear." he smiled.
"Aww, I cant do that Landon. Its yours."
"No keep it. I wont take it back."
I smiled and him and gave him a hug. I really liked these guys.
"Right let me ask a question…how many piercings do you guys have?"
"Eight" Landon answered, I studied his face.
"I only see five."
They all smiled slyly, "Others may be in less obvious places."
I laughed "Right."
"I have six and so does Luke" Kyle said, waving a fingerless-gloved hand dismissively.
"We have nine." The twins said at the same time.
"That shits freaky. Do you do that on purpose?" I said.
"Sometimes." they answered in unison.
"Urgh." I shook my head to get rid of the creeps as they boys laughed at me.
The rest of the class went quickly, we just carried on with the questions. They showed me some of their tattoo's and I showed them my one. After I saw theirs I decided that I had to get another one somehow. I just had to.
The guys were cool and I knew I'd get to know them more.
The twins took me to Trig as they had the same class and I got to sit next to Colton and Kim as she was in that class. She gave me a weird look when she saw me walk in with the guys but I passed it off.
She kept on bringing Sam up for some reason, which got a little annoying because it made me miss him. I know, stupid right.
Soon enough it was lunch and Kim said she'd meet me there as she had to get something from her history teacher.
Landon was waiting outside the classroom and I wasn't sure whether he was waiting for me or the twins.
"So, will you eat with us at lunch?" Archer asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
I smiled ruefully, "Sorry, I'm sitting with my guys, but hey, maybe another time."
"Ok, I'll hold you to that." he smirked.
"I bet you will."
We walked to the lunch hall and as I stepped in the entire room went quiet and everyone looked at me. I heard Landon chuckled behind me and he placed a hand on my shoulder.
"The joys of being the newbie." he whispered and I just shook my head.
"Great."
"Yo, Bells hurry up and great your sweet ass over here before I have to sock every guy here so they'd keep their eyes off of Sam's territory!" Paul yelled out so loud it almost echoed off the walls.
At first I was embarrassed for him and then I was pissed.
I am not Sam's fucking territory.
I stormed over to the lunch queue and grabbed some pizza and a soda before paying and half-stomping towards the table where all the others apart from Kim were sitting.
I chucked my lunch on the table and plonked myself down next to Jacob and opposite Seth.
Paul realised his mistake pretty much right away.
"Sorry Bells, your not really Sam's territory." he rushed nervously.
"You got that right. But not only did you say it to me, you announced it to the whole goddamn cafeteria." I sighed, I couldn't really be mad but I was a little annoyed.
I noticed that there was this girl. She had dyed blonde hair that was straightened to an almost brittle consistency. She was wearing quite a bit of makeup; foundation, heavy eye shadow and mascara and a think glob of pink lipgloss. She was glaring daggers at me.
"Who's she?" I asked Jacob, glancing toward the girl.
He followed my gaze, "That's Keira Danvers. Queen bitch of La Push High." He laughed.
"Why is she glaring at me?" I asked confused, Kim bounced over to us, lunch in hand and answered me.
"She's heard all the talk about you and Sam. She's got the major hots for him and doesn't think that you should be the one to have him. She's gunna fight ya." she sung as she sat down.
"Firstly, she's welcome to him, I'm not fighting anyone. Secondly, what talk?"
"Oh, apparently one of her groupies heard Paul say something about you and Sam in English and it got spread around."
I sighed and took a bite of my pizza.
"Would you really give Sam up to her?" Seth asked, a slight frown on his face.
I thought about it a little and half-heartedly said "Yeah" while trying to coat it with a nonchalance that wouldn't quite come out.
"Didn't think so." Jacob mumbled and I glared at him.
"Ooh, do you know what I found out today. My dad is dating Seth's mom, so from now on I count Seth as my little brother and I'm gunna beat up any if you guys that are mean to him." I smirked and Seth smiled.
"Sweet." he said before adding, "Not that I cant fight my own battles and all. It will just be nice to have my cool sister Bella fight them for me."
"Lazy ass." Jared came out with and we all chuckled.
"I'm making Lasagne for dinner tonight, your all welcome to stay." I informed the group.
"Cool, I'm definitely staying. Your cooking is great." Jacob yelled, the others said that they would eat with us too.
"You know what, I've been thinking." I announced suddenly, everyone turned to me.
"About what?" Kim asked, her face looked a little hopeful about something.
"I want a hamster." all there faces dropped, "Actually I want three, Alvin, Theodore and Simon."
Seth and Jacob burst out laughing.
"What?" I asked, "And why are you guys looking at me like that?" the last part was aimed at Quil, Embry, Kim, Paul and Jared.
"We're laughing at your randomness and they are looking at you like that cause they thought that maybe you had decided to give in to Sam."
"What, hell no." I ducked my head, not wanting to face the disapproving looks they were giving me. "Look, I've been here less than a week, I'm not getting into anything right now."
"Too late. Your already knee deep and your sinking fast. Its just going to get harder." Kim said, tilting her bottle as if willing me to understand.
Suddenly the lunch hall filled with the loud sounds of Finger Eleven's Paralyzer.
I turned around to see where it was coming from when my line of vision was cut off by a lean chest. I giggled and looked up at Landon, who bowed and held his hand out.
"Care for a dance, Ms Swan."
I giggled and placed my hand in his. "Absolutely."
He pulled me up and brought me to a space before twirling me around . We were laughing and dancing and too busy to realise that everyone was watching. I switched partners every now and then. Going between Landon and the twins. It was great fun.
By the time the song finished our frames were racked with laughter and my cheeks hurt from smiling.
"That was great. Thanks boys."
"It was our pleasure. Have you got gym last?" Colton asked.
"Yep."
"Cool, we'll see you there."
I hugged them each and moved back to my table, ignoring the looks I was getting from the other students.
I sat back down and sighed happily.
"What was that?" Jake frowned.
"Huh, those guys are great. Look, Landon gave me this ring." I held my hand out and he grabbed it, holding it up to his face.
"He gave you this?"
"Yeah. He's really nice, they all are."
Kim frowned a little, "Just be careful, Bells. Those guys have been in trouble a few times, and I'm talking police trouble. Sam's arrested them for various things." she sighed.
I shrugged, "What they get up to is nothing to do with me. I'm not going to get into it."
She smiled at me, "I know that. Its just, they hate Sam."
"They do?" I was confused, I didn't know why she was telling me this.
"Yep, 'cause he arrested them. They really hate him, just watch out and be prepared for the immature banter that goes between those guys and Sam."
The bell went and we all left four our class.
Music was alright, I was with Jared and Paul and had to watch people perform. Paul played the drums perfectly, he was really good. And Jared was great on the electric guitar.
A few people sang, including that Keira girl, however she glared at me the whole time. I was told that I was to perform in the next lesson as this lesson was set up for homework last week. The students had to pick something to do and show it to the class.
Soon enough the bell went, signifying that it was time for the last lesson of the day. I was actually quite thankful that the day was coming to an end.
Paul and Jared walked me to the gym. This was the class that was mixed so we had it with Jacob, Embry and Quil.
Paul and Jared went off to get changed and I made my way to the gym and up to the Coach.
Coach Miller was pretty big. Not as big as some of the older boys in our group, but big enough. However his muscles bulged somewhat obscenely. His t-shirt that had 'Coach Miller' on the back, showed everything. He was major bodybuilder looking, although he was not that tall.
I walked up to him as he looked up and smiled at me.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan."
"Yes, I know. I saw your dance in the cafeteria, very nice." he shook my hand. "Now, you can sit out this lesson or I have a spare kit you can use."
"Erm, can I use the spare kit, I'd like to play." I watched as he went to a bag and pulled out some material.
"Yep, here you go." he handed me the clothes.
I took the shorts and held them up in front of me. They were tiny. I'm not sure a ten year old could fit in these shorts.
I looked back up at coach incredulously.
"What?" he asked.
"Have you taken a proper look at these. I'm never going to get my ass in them." I said, shocked that he thought I would be able to.
He looked at me, amused, "I'm sure you'll be able to squeeze in them." he flicked the red material.
"Not without squeezing all the air from my body first. I don't feel like fainting from loss of oxygen, thanks. I'll give it a miss this lesson." I handed the shorts back to him as he laughed at me.
"Ok, that's fine."
"Where can I buy a kit?" I asked, I need something that was going to fit at least.
"The front office sell some. I just cant be assed to get any more, so I stuck with these."
"Yeah, well were did you get them? Left over from coaching in Jr High?" I joked and he laughed.
"No, but I'll remember to get some new ones."
I chuckled and turned around to see all the guys sitting on the bleachers, watching me. Freaks.
I jogged over to them and sat done in Jacobs lap, before swinging my legs up and setting them over Embry's thighs and leaning back so that my head was resting on one of Quil's thighs. I lounged there for a little while.
"Comfortable?" Jared laughed.
"Yep."
I watched all lesson as the guys were in mixed teams with Landon's group and played Basketball. They were so competitive, it was hilarious. I went back and forth calling out encouragements for different people.
Miss-bitch-Keira was in gym to. I figured if she kept glaring at me like that she may actually burn a hole in me. Which I'm sure she was actually trying to do. If she had a problem she should take it up with me instead of just being a coward.
It was really funny when her team was playing Jake's team. The two guys in her group weren't paying any attention to her or the ball, instead they were blatantly staring at me. When Jake managed to dribble the ball between them and score she was ape-shit.
She yelled at them for staring at me, telling them how I wasn't important and they should just get a life, et cetera, et cetera…
BORING.
When class was over I went straight to the front office. Jacob was going back with Jared to my house so I didn't need to wait. I had to pick Brady and Collin up from La Push Jr High anyways.
When I got to the Office, I had to wait a little while and then give my sheet in and pay for a sports kit. By the time I was ready to leave I was a little late. People were already piling out of the parking lot.
Some people stopped to stare at something and then moved on. I didn't know what they were staring at until I car to my car and abruptly halted my movement.
Sam was perched on the hood of my baby, and he was wearing his police uniform. Never before had I ever really had one of those uniform fetishes. Especially not for police officers. Fireman…doctors, yeah I like that but never had I been interested in the whole Officer route.
But I was now.
I felt my mouth drop as I took in the sight of Sam. Silver handcuffs hung from his belt and he had his gun strapped to his hip. He looked so deadly and incredibly sexy.
My breathing quickened and by the way Sam smirked I guess he saw. I cleared my throat and walked up to him.
"Get your ass off my car, you'll ruin her." I pulled him up and rubbed the spot he spoiled.
"Hello to you too." He purred in my ear, his breath brushing my neck. I tried to hide my shiver but knowing Sam he probably saw it.
"What are you doing here?" I asked annoyed because everyone was staring.
The girls were batting their mascara coated lashes at Sam and the guys were staring warily at him.
I heard the familiar sounds of the guys laughing at turned to see them looking at Sam and I and piling into the cars and bolt out of the parking lot. Thanks guys! I screamed sarcastically in my head.
"I was passing by and figured, seeing as though I'm coming to yours, you could give me a lift." the bugger smirked.
"Passing by? The police station's on the other side of town."
"I went the long way." it sounded like a question because I knew he was making it up on the spot. That much was obvious.
He was being quite forward today, just like Saturday when he was in the towel. He stayed close to me, and leant in close when he spoke. His eyes kept flicking from my own eyes to my lips and back up again.
He leant forward quicker this time, his gaze was zoned in on my lips but I turned my head so that his lips fell on my cheek.
It didn't put him off though. He started trailing sweet kisses along my jaw on the way to my lips, ignoring my hands pushing hard at his chest. He just reached the corner of my mouth when we were thankfully interrupted.
"Bella!"
I shoved at Sam's chest and his lips parted from my skin. He gave a disapproving groan and sighed before taking a step back.
I turned at smiled at Landon and his group that were walking up to us. Luke and Kyle were busy glaring a million holes into Sam's smug face and the Twins and Landon were smiling at me.
"Hi guys." I said as they reached us.
"Hey Bella." they said cheerfully and then followed it with a gritted, "Uley."
Sam just chuckled at them, "Boys." he said which made then glower at him.
"Well, we just wanted to see if you wanted to hang some time Bella. At the beach or maybe Seattle, we can pull some strings and get you that new tattoo you want." Archer smiled.
"Ye—" I started but was interrupted.
"Boys, do you mind, I was about to kiss by girlfriend and you rudely interrupted." huh what?
The faces of the guys dropped and turned to staring with narrowed eyes at Sam.
"I'm not your girlfriend." I stated. The boys turned to me and smirked.
"You are my girl, stop denying it just cause these idiots are around." the guys turned back to Sam and glared. They looked like they were at a tennis match, their heads going back and forth like that.
"You haven't even asked me to be your girlfriend!" I near yelled, he was being really annoying.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked sweetly.
"No!" urgh he was grinding my gears, I turned to the guys, "Of course we should meet up, we'll talk about it later on though. I'm really late picking someone up so I gotta hurry. See ya tomorrow!"
"Sure, bye Honey." the twins said in unison again and Landon and the others just waved and smiled before walking to their cars.
Did they just call me honey?…weird.
I got my keys out of my back pocket and unlocked the car.
"You're a such hypocrite, you know that?" Sam said as he got in the passenger seat.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. How fucking rude.
"You're a hypocrite." he repeated.
"I got that part, thank you very much. Why the fuck am I a hypocrite?" I spat through gritted teeth.
He smirked and I accelerated out of the parking lot and toward the Jr high.
"Because yesterday you told Leah that you believe in soul mates and not to give up and settle or second best. But you're not even giving your soul mate a chance."
The car jolted as shock and even more disbelief ran through me.
"You think we're soul mates?" I asked the loon sitting next to me.
"I don't think…" I nodded at this, "I know" he finished, smiling like the cheshire cat.
"…Well that's big headed." I said after a long pause, I shook my head to get rid of the tiny happy wave that made forced its way through my body.
"But its true, I'm just being honest."
"You say that a lot. It makes me think that you just make shit up as you go along."
He scoffed at me and I flexed my fingers before tightening then on the wheel.
"What's that?" he asked looking at my finger, I looked down and saw my ring.
"Landon gave it to me. I like it."
"Take it off." he ordered and I raised an eyebrow.
"No, I like it and Landon gave it to me, so I'll wear it." I was getting bored with this charade.
"Are you seriously going to accept gifts from those bunch of girls?"
"How are they a bunch of girls?" something obviously crawled up his ass today.
"They wear makeup" he grimaced as thought the thought disgusted him. One of those he-man types. Jeez.
"Its hot." I defended, some guys look great in with a little makeup, and it was only eyeliner.
"So you'd think it was hot if I wore makeup?" he asked.
"No!" I yelled before I had the chance to stop myself, he smirked at me and I tried to explain myself, "You're too manly to wear makeup. It would look…wrong with all your muscles." was that the right thing to say?
"Was that a compliment?" he seemed happy and surprised.
"No, I just said you'd suck if you'd wear makeup."
"But you called me manly. You said the other day that I had zilch manliness."
I chuckled as I pulled alongside the school. Collin and Brady were standing along outside, they looked annoyed and mad.
"No-one says 'zilch' anymore." I pointed out as I hopped out of the car, ready to grovel.
"I'm so sorry boys. Blame Sam, its all his fault. Next time I wont be late, I promise." I put a hand on each of their backs and herded them to the car.
"Its ok, we forgive you." they said in unison. I chuckled and waited until they got into the car before I got in.
They both said hello to Sam and told him off for making me late. I started up the car again and started for home.
"I'm making lasagne for dinner. Are you guys staying?"
"Yes" all three of them said together. I knew Sam would have stayed anyways. Its like having my own personal stalker, but I like it.
"Did you have a good day at school boys?" I asked, looking at them through the rear view mirror.
"I did, thank you beautiful Bella." Brady said, I laughed a little at him.
"My day was ok." Collin said glumly. I tightened my hold on the wheel.
"What happened?" I directed to Collin.
"I dunno. I just have some trouble with a few boys in my class. I try to ignore them but I feel as if what they say is true sometimes." he admitted, I saw Sam frown.
"What do they say?" I didn't like seeing him upset, it wasn't right.
"That I'm a freak."
Both Sam and I spoke in unison, "No, Collin that isn't true." we both looked at each other and smiled before getting back to the matter at hand.
"Look Collin, when people say horrible things there is only one reason; They're jealous. If they were really that great they wouldn't have to bring people down to show it. You're not a freak honey. I promise." I told him, he seemed to take my words in and smiled at me.
Sam gave me a look that I couldn't decipher but then he smiled at me too.
We got home and headed to the living room. All the guys were already here and were watching some movie on television. Leah was here also.
I said hello to everyone and thanked them for leaving me alone back in the parking lot. They just laughed at me. I left Brady and a happier Collin in the living room and went to make dinner.
Sam followed me of course and sat at the Kitchen table and watched as I cooked. We talked a little but its was mostly silent between us. Every now and then he would get something for me and purposely brush up against me when he was handing it to me. Every time I tried to suppress my shiver but on the times that I couldn't he would get that proud smirk on his face that made me want to slap it off…or kiss it off, but hey, I'm only human.
By the time dinner was ready everyone was home. I made Sam set the dining room table and call everyone to eat. He handed some plates out and sat down when I did.
We spoke all through dinner. Dad asked me about my first day and I told him about it, from Landon to deluded coach to Keira — which, by the way, made everyone laugh because glaring at me doesn't bother me and they knew that — I didn't tell them the reason for the glaring even though I knew the guys would tell Sam later.
We watched some T.V but around nine Sam decided to leave as he had work in the morning. I was just going to let him go but dad gave me a look that told me to walk to the door with him.
I sighed and got up as Sam walked by me. I opened the door for him and smiled politely.
"Night Baby." he said and I rolled my eyes but said nothing about it.
"Good night. Have a good day at work tomorrow." I gave him a genuine smile.
"I will. Have a good day at school."
Before I could say anything else he wrapped a hand around my throat, gently but firm enough so that when he pulled his arm toward him, my body went with.
He covered my lips with his and immediately my eyes shuttered closed and my lips pressed more firmly against his own. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him, then slid his hand up my back and splayed it between my shoulder blades, putting enough pressure on it so that I was pinned to him.
He bit my bottom lip and slid his tongue over the spot to ease the sting, I gasped and he took that chance to slide his tongue into my mouth. I sucked on his tongue a little and then bit it, but he still groaned in my mouth.
After a few more moments of doing the tongue tango he freed me and smirked. I could hear the choked laughter of the other guys and got a little mad.
"You should stop doing that, you know. Its sexual harassment." I crossed my arms over my chest and narrowed my eyes.
"Baby, if the only way I'm going to get kisses from you is by stealing them, get used to it." he smirked.
I slammed the door in his face.
