Chapter three. I hope you like it. And thank you so much to those who took their time to review the last two chapters. Anyway, any criticism you have feel free to tell me. Happy reading!
My two days suspension passed without anything interesting happening. I was actually happy I was going back to school. To my extreme shame I realized it was because I was longing, yes longing, to see Jacob. That goofy faced dick put some sort of voodoo spell on me. The pulling feeling in my stomach had me so on edge that I was stealing my moms sleeping pills just to get a sound nights sleep. The rest of the time I just had a joint and prayed for something to take my interest long enough to get Jacob`s face out of my head. He was never interesting for me before so why now?
So yeah, back at La Push high. I was greeted rather enthusiastically by some of Ciara`s former victims. Seemed like Miss Popularity was being shunned by the entire school which was wonderful news. Seemed like nobody would be kissing her spotty ass anytime soon. When I got to my locker and busied myself putting things in and taking stuff out the pulling feeling intensified. I knew someone was watching me. And it freaked me out a little if I`m being honest. Was it Jacob? Oh God, when did I turn into such a fangirl? I used to laugh at the girls who followed him around giggling. Hoping that he would take notice and ask them out. Jacob was a strange one. He seemed afraid to look at any girl in the school in the eye. I had it pegged down for him being shy, but I knew that wasn`t the best answer. Jacob had never been shy. Before he changed he was happy, popular and just plain nice. Something had changed him drastically. Like what happened with Paul, Embry and Quil. They sure didn`t look like seventeen year olds anymore. They had lost any look of raw youth they had the minute they cut their hair and magically grew some muscles.
Well, if someone was looking at me and I wasn`t losing my mind I was sure as hell not going to search the person out. Let them look away.
"`Sup Sonz." I heard my friend Ollie greet me from my left. Ah Ollie. My knight in a black heavy wool coat and skinny jeans.
"Oliver my love, I like the coat." He frowned at me for a moment.
"You like the coat is the first thing you say to me? Yeah I like the coat too. Why are you dressed up?" He scrutinized my outfit. I wore oat colored skinny jeans and a rather form fitting pale yellow sweater.
"I`m not dressed up." Okay, maybe I did get a little dressed up today in anticipation of seeing Jacob again but I thought I didn`t over-do it this morning. Ollie was leaning in closer to me.
"You`re wearing make-up." He accused.
"I wear make-up all the time." I countered.
"But not like this."
"Like what?"
"Forget it Sonia. You look...nice."
"Just nice?"
Ollie and I stared each other down until I finally gave in and burst out laughing. Ollie was great. We had a secret thing going on for a while back, nothing really romantic. I think we were just both desperate for some human contact. It never ventured into full blown sex, just a lot of heavy petting and very hot make out sessions. It was a miracle that we remained friends after Ollie decided to put a stop to it because it was getting too weird.
"You always look nice, even when you look like shit. You look..I dunno..pretty."
"Thanks. You do too. So what`s the gossip. Who slept with who? Who cheating on who?"
"Rumor has it that Ciara Harris slept with Jacob Black." What? Wait. What? Ollie must have noticed something was off with me.
"You okay?" He asked, a bit worried.
"Yeah..Yeah I`m fine. Just a shock to the system you know. I thought Jacob had some standards." What was with all the jealousy and rage I was feeling at the moment? Jacob could do whatever the fuck he wanted. He wasn`t mine.
"So yeah, that`s the only interesting thing that`s happened since you`ve been gone. Say Sonia, why is Jacob Black looking at you like you did something bad to him?" Ollie whispered in my ear. I whipped my head up and around. Sure enough, Jacob was looking at me, anger burning in his eyes as he stared at me with unrelenting intensity. He was flanked by Quil and Embry, both of whom looked extremely uncomfortable. What the hell did I do to him that would make him look at me like that? Fucking crazy jerk. Before I even knew what I was doing I flipped him off and gave him my best bitchy face. I noted with glee his expression change from anger to pure shock. Fucking moron. Nobody treats me that way. If he had some sort of problem with me he could at least have the balls to say it to my face. I turned back to Ollie who had a look of incredulity about him now.
"Okay Sonia. What the fuck was that? You just flipped off the future chief of the tribe. What happened? Did you guys hook up or something?"
"NO! He`s just...I dunno. Honestly."
"Do you like him." I took too long to answer that. Ollie put me into a head lock and tackled me into the lockers playfully.
"Uh gross. Don`t tell me you`ve joined the Jacob Black fanclub. Oh man Sonia. I thought you were cool." He then proceeded to tickle my waist which sent me into a bout of uncontrollable giggles. Suddenly, Ollie was ripped away and I slumped against the lockers in shock as Jacob had Ollie by the scruff of his hoodie and pinned against the opposite set of lockers. Oh God this is getting ridiculous.
"Touch her again and I`ll kill you." Jacob was snarling in Ollies angry face. Ollie, to his credit, was lashing out at Jacob with all of his strength, which had absolutely no effect. It was as if Jacob was made of steel. I wasted no time in getting my act together and pouncing on Jacob`s back, trying to dislodge him.
"Leave him alone you fucking lunatic." A set of warm hands easily took me off Jacob`s back and held me in place away. I looked up angrily and saw Quil. Embry was now pulling a shaking Jacob away from Ollie, who`s collar was ripped.
"I`m so sorry Sonia." Quil whispered down at me. "This...was not supposed to happen." That was the shittiest explanation for what just happened. I pulled myself angrily out of Quil`s warm hold and went to help Ollie.
"Are you okay?" I attempted to take hold of his arm but he brushed me away angrily.
"I`m fine. Just leave it!" He gave Jacob a look of pure loathing and stalked off. The students who were watching gave him a wide birth. I looked on with regret at Ollie retreating figure and then turned in anger to Jacob and his cronies.
"What the hell is your problem?" I whispered up at him. I was so angry I was shaking. I was also frightened. Jacob looked down at me, his eyes were cold and black.
"You are my fucking problem." Okay, we had that sorted out almost. But I was shocked all the same.
"What did I ever do to you?"
"Exist!" He hissed down at me before stalking away and leaving me rooted to the floor in shock.
"Sonia...are you okay?" Embry asked me carefully.
"Peachy."
"Seriously Sonia. I sorry about Jacob. He didn`t really mean what he said."
"He meant it."
"He didn`t. Please Sonia just.."
"Just what Embry?" I finally snapped at him.
"Just...give him time." Did Embry honestly believe that I had any fucking clue to what he was talking about?
"Time? Time for what? He isn`t worth any of my time. And you can tell Jacob from me to never call my house again, speak to me or my friends, or even look at me. If he does then he will have a big problem. Do you think you can remember all that?" I snarled at the blameless Embry.
"I`ll tell him."
I didn`t even bother saying anything else. I collected my schoolbag and books from the floor and marched angrily to my first class. I wanted desperately to cry but willed myself not to. The mere fact that I existed caused him to hate me. How was that justifiable? It wasn`t. I felt like the biggest fool ever to walk the planet. I had allowed myself to hope that he liked me. That I was good enough for him. I had even dressed up a little in hopes that he would look at me any other way than in scorn. I wanted him to look at me like he did the first time. When his eyes were soft and beautiful. I prayed that I didn`t imagine that. I knew I didn`t.
Remember to review. It makes the story better.
