I was sitting on the log with my arms wrapped around my legs. Billy had just finished telling a old story and Jacob hasn't come back yet. I have been questioning about if I had liked him or not and came to the conclusion that it was just a crush. I sighed and took a bite of the hot dog that had been sitting on my plate.
"What's wrong?" Alec asked me. I just shook my head.
"Nothing's wrong. Why would you say that?" I asked him taking another bite giving him the other half of my hot dog.
"Alright. If you say so." He sighed and stuffed the food in his mouth.
"You are disgusting" I told him. He just grinned. I stood up and went inside the house. Seth was in there talking to Sam. Their heads turned to me as I walked in. "Sorry"
"It's alright. Are you starting to like it here?" Sam asked standing up. I nodded. "You are starting school tomorrow. You and your brother" I groaned.
"Alright" I sighed. I sat down on the couch watching the football game. I could feel my eyes drooping. I was almost asleep when I heard the door shut and people laughing. I jumped startled looking to see who it was. I could see Jake and Bella walking in holding hands laughing as if they were a couple.
"What's wrong Scar?" Seth asked. I scowled at him for calling me my nick name but shrugged it off knowing everyone calls me than now since my name is a mouthful for them.
"Nothing, I'm just tired" I yawned. He smilled at me.
"Bed time!" He grinned. I laughed at him and so did he.
"Ya I guess you can call it that"I laughed walking over to the foot of the stairs.
"Night Scarlett. I'll tell everyone that you went to bed alright?" He said making his way for the front door. I nodded and then walked up the endless stairs wanting to be in my bed asleep with every step I took.
Right when I stepped in my room, I shut the door and flung myself on the bed. I smiled as my head hit the comfy pillow.
I hope school goes perfectly fine tomorrow. And with that I fell into a deep sleep.
_________________________________________________________________________
"SCARLETT! GET UP!" Three voices shouted. I jumped in my bed and landed on the floor. I groaned. I looked up and saw Embry, Alec and Jared laughing at me! I got my pillow and threw it at them.
"Sheesh no need to be violent" Jared smirked. I just glared at them before pointing to my door.
"Fine then. But if we come back here in thirty minutes you better be dressed and ready"My brother called out before shutting the door. I sighed and got of the cold wooden floor. I shuffled over to my closet and grabbed my clothes making my way for the shower. As soon as I locked the bathroom door I took off my clothes and got in the cold shower.
I have no idea why but I love cold showers. It wakes me up I guess. After I finished washing my hair I got out and dried myself with the black towl haning on the rack. I put on my undergarments then put on a pair of grey skinny jeans, a black undershirt and a grey off the shoulder shirt. I quickly blow dried my hair and did my make up. I put a head band in my hair before teasing my hair to make a bump in the back. I smiled as I did my eyeliner and mascara perfect.
Before I left the room I put on some purple high tops and grabbed my bag. I skipped down the stairs all ready for school... not!
"Look who's finally ready. Does it always take you a life time to get ready?" Paul asked as I sat down beside him.
"Yep" I smiled taking a piece of his toast and shoving it in my mouth.
"HEY! That was mine!"He whined. I just stuck my tongue out at him to only have him bite it with his teeth.
"EWW!" I yelled. He laughed at me as I tried to wipe his germs off. "That is disgusting!"
"Oh you know you liked it" He teased wiggling his eyebrows. I punched him in his arm. "So violent!" He rubbed his arm.
"So what time do we have to go to school?" I asked stealing a piece of Quil's muffin when he was talking to Jared and Seth.
"8:00 scarlett. Just like any other school" Alec said.
"Well this school could have been different!" I exclaimed crossing my arms. He just rolled his eyes splitting his french toast in half throwing me the other half.
"Do you two always share?" Sam asked. We looked at eachother and then nodded.
"We have always done it" I shrugged. The door opened and in came Jacob. I stuffed the food in my mouth.
"Wow that is so lady like" Quil commented at my stuffed mouth. I swallowed it before answering.
"Yep. It takes skill to be this well mannered" They all laughed.
"Ok so ready for school?" I heard Jake ask behind me. I swear my heart skipped a beat when he talked.
"u..uh yeah" I stuttered. He just smiled at me.
"Ok everyone time to go!" Sam said pushing us out the door. I smiled and waved at him and Emily.
Me, Leah, Seth, Alec and Embry were in one of the truck while Jared, Quil, Paul, and Jacob were in the other one. Embry sped off to school with me and Leah talking about our brothers.
"Were here!" Embry said. I smiled at him and hopped out of the truck. The rest of the guys parked beside us and got out.
"So where do we go?" I asked. Jacob slung his arm around my shoulders.
"I will take you two there. It's not far" He smiled at me. I gave him a smile back . His arm was still around my shoulder as we walked up to the school. I could see girl giving me murderous glares so I gladly returned them.
We entered the brick building and walked down the hall before turning into the office. Behind the front desk was a plump lady that was typing supper fast on the computer. Alec cleared his throat and she immediately turned her head to us.
"Were new here" Alec told her. She smiled at us then stood up going to a machine.
"You must be Scarlett and Alec Uley" She smiled nicely at us. I just nodded. "We don't have many new students here" She handed us a paper and a bunch of books.
"Have a nice day!" The lady called out when we were leaving the office.
"What do you have?" Alec asked looking at a piece of paper.
I looked at my paper. 1st hour-Algebra. 2hour- Biology, 3 hour-English. 4-lunch 5hour- art 6hour-free.
I handed him my paper. He and Jake looked over it. "We have all classes together." Jake smiled showing his perfectly white teeth.
"Dammit! We only have art together" Alec said sadly. I kissed his cheek.
"It's alright. We will always see each other at lunch and after school." I smiled at him. He grinned and kissed my cheek.
"Thanks sis." The bell rang interrupting our moment.
"Well let's get to class" Jake said taking my hand and pulling me along with him.
During first hour I sat in the back beside this boy. His name is Josh and he is the cutest thing ever. He has dirty blond hair and sea blue eyes. He was muscular but a bit thin. He is like my brother.
The day has passed by really fast and now it was lunch. As I walked in the cafeteria with Josh everyone became silent looking at me. I just shrugged it off and got in line for food. I grabbed a cheese burger and a Dr.Pepper.
"SCARLET! OVER HERE!" Quil yelled across the cafeteria. I just glared at him.
"See ya later Scarlett" Josh said and went to his own table. I walked over to their table and sat in between Alec and Jared. I split my cheese burger in half and he split his pizza in half and we traded. Everyone just looked at us like we were crazy.
"What?" I asked them. They just shoked their heads. I looked around noticing that Jake wasn't there. "Where's Jake?" I asked them. They looked kinda nervous but Alec answered for them.
"He's with this Bella chick" He said taking a drink of my soda. All I said was 'oh'. There was a awkward silence at the table.
"Who is Bella anyways?"I asked munching on my lunch.
"She is Jake's 'best friend'." Quil emphasized on best friends then continued."She has a boyfriend but Jake likes her. She leaves Jake for Edward then comes back to Jake once Edward left. But it's going to be the same all over again. Edward's going to come back and she is going to leave Jake."
"So she's using him" I said more like a question. He nodded agreeing with me. "Wasn't he with her yesterday though?"
"Yeah. We don't see him much when he is with her" Embry shrugged. The bell rang making us all run out of the cafeteria.
_______________________________________________________________________
"This is boring!" I whined as they watched a re-run of a football game.
"Well go some where else" Jared said annoyed. I scowled at him but got up. I went up to my room and looked for something to do. After failing I decided to go for a walk. I put on a black hoodie and grabbed my ipod plugging in the earphones.
"I'm going for a walk" I told them but they were too into the game to notice me.
"Don't worry hun. I will tell them" Emily smiled at me. I gave her a grateful look before walking down the path that led to the beach. I let my thoughts wander around. Why was Jake with Bella all the time. Jake deserves some one better. Like me. When I thought that I mentally kicked myself. No Scarlett. You don't like Jacob Black. Part of me wanted to believe it but I knew better.
I was officially falling for Jacob. I tripped over some roots making me go back to reality. I looked around and noticed I wasn't on the path no more. Dammit Scarlett. You should have been watching where you went!
I got up and started walking around trying to make my way back to the house. I kept on walking and walking. I soon had scrapes on my legs and arms from all of those poky things. I sighed and sat down on a nearby rock.
A few minutes later I fell asleep. Later on I felt something pick me up. I leaned into the warm chest and fell back asleep.
---JACOB'S POV---
As soon as Bella left I went over to Sam's. As soon as I got there I saw a panicked Alec frantically looking around. "What's going on?" I asked.
"Scarlett went for a walk almost three hours ago. It's dark now and we can't find her" Alec said worried. My smile fell as soon as he told me that.
"I am going to look in the woods for her." I ran out the door not waiting for him to reply. Once I was far enough he wouldn't hear me I shifted and ran in the forest looking for my imprint.
-Have you found her yet?- Sam thought to us.
-no- everyone said. He groaned in frustration.
-Don't worry Sam. We will find her- Embry calmed him down.
-I know but I worry about her- Sam sighed.-Keep Looking- He ordered.
We all took off in separate directions. I saw the trail and smelt her sweet scent. I followed it and found her asleep.
-FOUND HER- I told them. I could hear them all breath out in relief. I quickly shifted back and pulled on some shorts. I quickly picked her up and pressed her against my body. Once she was in my arms she snuggled into my chest. I smiled brushing a few strands of hair away from her face.
While walking back to the house she mummbled my name a few times. I leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"You have no idea how much I love you" I whispered to her.
