Chapter 38
I'll admit I was hiding. I wasn't embarrassed by Jacob Black and Seth Clearwater. I was never one to care what others thought about me. It was the simple fact, that those two were driving me insane with their horrible pick up lines and nonsensical freestyle rapping. It was far too tempting to lock them in the school basement so they would leave me alone.
I peeked out of the girl's bathroom and I thought I was in the clear until...
"There you are, gurl! I was searching for you everywhere! Bizzie Swan of hotness is back in the house! Did you have the runs? You were in there forever!" Jacob Black had only one volume. It was loud.
"Please tell me you are leaving for the day. I will give you money for the bus."
"Nah, gurl! I was waiting for you to take me to lunch! You can be my sugar mama!"
"No."
"No what?"
"No to every word that is coming out of that gigantic mouth of yours." I stomped down the hall. He followed like a puppy. I wasn't a proponent of kicking puppies, but I was a proponent of tripping Jacob and as he stumbled making a quick getaway.
"Bella!" He whined. "Don Juan has a different lunch period! I don't want to sit by myself!"
He looked nervous and sad. I was the Grinch and my heart was starting to grow. Damn it. I blamed Baseball Boy.
"Fine, you overgrown Teletubby, you can sit with me. Do not speak. Do not try to rub my leg with your foot, because I will remove it and use it like a lucky rabbit's foot."
He put his hands up to protect himself. "Dude, that's really scary!"
"The sound of your voice is so obnoxious that I literally want to perform violent acts. So be quiet like a little mouse and don't tempt me."
He was quiet for approximately two minutes.
"Gurl, your man is sitting with another gurl! O! M! G! Are you going to cry? Don't cry! I'll comfort you!" I could barely comprehend the verbal vomit that was erupting from Jacob. "Her boobies are huge!"
I watched as Angela Webber sat across from my Baseball Boy. She smiled at him. He smiled back. It was an entirely innocent interaction. He wasn't touching her hand. She wasn't giving him those ridiculous, flirtatious giggles. There was no reason for me to feel these completely foreign emotions. Rage. Jealousy.
"Shut your trap, Black. You are going to sit with Boobs and distract her with your bizarre love of The Wonder Pets."
He jumped up and down, then did a little clap. "They're like my dad's taxidermy animals, but they talk! Do you think she likes The Wonder Pets?"
"I could care less, but you are going to tell her all about them." I grabbed his sleeve and pulled him towards the table.
Kid was mine.
