Jacob came to pick Miley up like usual, making her new car sit in the grass barely used yet again. As she climbed in she received a gruff "Hey" from Jacob and that was it making her sink down in her seat confused. He seemed a little on edge. "Are you okay Jake?" She asked timidly as he seemed to tighten his hold on the steering wheel. "I'm fine.... Just didn't sleep well." He said with annoyance making Miley nod slowly but drop it.

They drive into the parking lot like usual and approached their friends as the cult watched them all. "SHES ALIVE!" Kai said jokingly as Quil pretended he had seen a ghost, Embry just chuckling with them. But that didn't stop Jake from being in his pissy mood in fact he looked aggravated as his friends joked with the girl. None of them knowing the cult had been at her house, it made his blood boil thinking of it once again.

"Hey man what crawled up your ass?" Quil says as Jacob begins walking to the school without them. Miley feeling watched and she could guess who it was but she didn't stare back instead she raced after her best friend. Their entire group was behind him rushing to the lockers all speaking at once trying to figure out what happened. Kai seemed to be the only one that looked to Miley knowing she knew something, and when he did she shrunk down into herself and opened her own locker to cover her face. "You two arnt fighting right?" Kai asks as Miley stiffens and Jacob looks unimpressed. "No. Just tired of the cult trying to take people." He says lowly as the group he spoke of had walked into view. All their eyes on one member of the group who had her head hidden in her locker.

"Did they bother you again Miley? Was it Paul? I can take him down a peg if you want?" Quil says puffing his chest out trying to seem intimidating but one poke in the stomach from Embry and he was coughing all the air out. "It's nothing can we just go to class and be normal today please?" Miley practically begs tired of the prying yet also the concern. The cult wasn't that bad, and Miley was highly doubting they were a cult in the first place but- she felt it was something else that bonded the group together. That bonded Paul to her.

"Uh yeah- I guess so." Kai agrees but he seems suspicious as his eyes trail to Jacob who's glaring down the trio across the hall. Kim and Jared were in love town eye fucking as Paul leaned his back against the lockers staring intently at their group. Miley gets out of her locker to finally go to class when she notices her group has dispersed except Jacob. He slams his locker door shut before walking up to her and waiting for her to get her stuff. He wouldn't let Paul Lahote near her again, it'd have to be over his own dead body before it happened again.

The pair walked in a weird silence compared to their normal teasing, and sarcasm. Even as they entered the classroom people stared sensing the weird tension. Soon they'd be the talk of the school.

All their morning classes went like this, he didn't let her out of his sights. At one class she asked to go to the bathroom and he was about to make an entire scene about it when she held up a tampon with an angry expression as kids snickered.
