Twilight (a plot twist)

Chapter 5

  I've been spending the day doing my homework, being in most honors classes wasn't easy. My mind was filled with images from yesterday. I tried suppressing the feelings for Jacob, but they kept bubbling back up in my chest. But what if he already likes another girl? What if I barely see him? All these thoughts made it hard to concentrate on my homework, so I sat back and listen to the rain splatter on the roof. Charlie was fishing with Harry Clearwater, and Billy his best friends. I went down stairs and sat on the couch, when I heard the phone ring. 

  I jumped up and answered it. "Hey, is Bella there?" That warm voice asked through the phone. "Ya, i'm right here" I replied happy it was Jacob on the other line. "I was wondering if you'd like to hangout today, come to my house" 

"Sounds good to me"

"Awesome, you remember where I live, right?" 

"Ya, Charlie told me"

"Okay, come over when ever you want"

"I will be there soon"

  "Alright c'ya then" he said then hung up. "Ya.. see you soon" I said in the dead phone line. I quickly ran upstairs and rummaged through my closet. I pulled on a pair of light blue jeans, a grey long-sleeve shirt and a black, sleeveless jacket.  I steadily walked down stairs and grabbed my car keys and headed out the door. 

   I turned into Jacob's driveway and he ran out the door. "Bella" he said excitedly. "Hey Jake" I said, getting out of the truck. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me inside his house. He went to the kitchen and grabbed two water bottles, "you thirsty?" He asked. I nodded and he tossed me the water bottle, bad idea. It slipped passed my hands and crashed to the ground. I saw Jacob chuckle and I gave him a scowl. "Not a good idea the throw something at the uncoordinated." I said with a huff. "I didn't realize you were that bad" he said defensively. "Oh, because most people trip in a puddle on the beach?" I teased. He walked closer and said "only special people."

   I raised an eyebrow "oh, so now i'm special?" Jacob shrugged, "a good kind." I looked down and smiled to myself. "So what do you want to do?" Jacob said, sipping his water. I smirked and said "this" while pushing the bottle up, making water fall onto him. He backed up and looked at me raising an eyebrow in delight. "So you want to play this game, eh?" He said and splashed me with the remaining water. I gasped at the cold water and looked up at him. "Bring it on" I replied. For the next 7 minutes we were splashing bottles of water at each other. 

    After we were done, our clothes were completely soaked in water. Jacob brought out a towel for me, and I wrapped it around my damp clothing. "So now what do you want to do?" I asked. He thought for a minute, and held up a bottle of water. "Not again" I said, rolling my eyes sarcastically. "Fair enough" he laughed. I ran my hand through my wet hair and asked "what were you doing before I came, and made you aqua man?" He frowned like 'nothing' and said "just working on a car." For some reason, this sparked up my attention. "What kind of car?" I asked enthusiastically. "Rabbit" he said, with the same look. "Do you mind if check it out?" This seemed to impress him.

   "Sure why not?" He said opening the front door for me. "Thanks" I said as I walked out. We walked across his yard to a building the look like it 4 different building, cemented together and broke the walls into one big space. "Cool, is this your garage?" I asked looking around. "Yup, all mine" he said with a slick smile. I saw the car, it was a piece of junk. "Nice," I scrunched my eyebrows, "car." He laughed and said "I know, it's a piece of junk." 

"Took the words right out of my mouth" I said under my breath.

    He bit his lip, "do you mind of I work on it?" I looked at him like 'duh' and he smiled. We spent all day chatting while he worked on the engine. Jacob was always happy, even when he cut his finger and it was bleeding over the place, he was laughing. I would of probably went to the hospital. He was like a sun, just warm not matter what happens. It was so comfortable being around him, I really wished he went to forks high. 

     When it was time to leave, I was actually sad, which surprised me. At school I didn't mind leaving Jess, Eric, Angela and Mike behind but Jacob. It was like a whole different story. I was walking to  my tuck with him beside me. When I got in the truck Jacob hugged me. He was so warm, it was amazing. Just like a sun I thought. 

     Dinner was already on the table when Charlie came home. "Smells good like always Bells" he said while hanging up his coat. I nodded and sat down. He sighed and asked "so, what did you do all day?" He took a big bite of the pork chop as I replied "I finished my homework, and hanged out with Jacob." He raised his eyebrows. "You hanged out with Jacob?" He repeated my words. "Ya", I said looking down, "is something wrong with that?" He quickly said "no, not at all. It's just I remember when you two were kids and you would hangout all the time." I groaned "are you going to get all sensitive now?" I teased. Charlie mumbled, and it kind of made me laugh. "Alright Char.. Dad, i'm going to get some sleep." He rolled his eyes under his eye lashes, he still thinks it's weird I call him Charlie. "Alright Bells, night." With that, I went off to bed.

    That night, I had my first dream about Jake. But it was a weird one. I was on the beach and he was walking towards me, then out of no where a mist came and it faded away leaving nothing behind but a huge wolf. Its breath a stingy smell, pushing my hair back each time it exhaled. Its eyes black as the night sky, but full of intelligence. It was as if they were human, but not. I woke up, my heart pounding fast. I pushed my hair out of my face and shook my head. 

    I got out of bed and got dressed. I walked down stairs and ate a hot pocket. I wasn't looking forward to school, at all. I watched the time as a brushed my teeth and combed my hair, when I knew it was time to head out. I grabbed in rain coat (just in case) and got into the truck.

     I was in the parking lot, with my windows rolled down, reading a book when two arms that belonged to Mike leaned against the empty window space. "Hey Mike" I said looking up from the book. "Hey Bella... I was wondering..." he seemed really nervous. I looked around and nudge his arms to say 'continue'. "If you would like to go the dance... with me" he said with shaky words. Er- I liked Mike, don't get me wrong, but not that much. I tried to think of a excuse and quick. "Dancing.. me dancing.. not a good sight to see" I said honestly. I dance like I catch water bottles. He didn't seem to convince. "I also have plans that weekend" I said biting my lip. "Oh can't you do it another time" he asked sadly. "No, i'm sorry...", I started to think of Jess, "you should ask Jessica to go. I know she wants you to" I said truthfully. "Ya, sure" he mumbled and walked away.

    Eric walked me to English like always, but instead of going right away, he pulled back. "Hey, I have a question" he said. My stomach dropped immeditaly. I hated those words, they usually don't mean anything good. "I was wondering.. if you'd like to go to the dance with me" he said in a rush. I screamed inside but kept my face blank. "I'm sorry, i'm busy that weekend" I said trying to sound as sincere as possible. His face dropped and it got really awkward. "Uh.. let's go to English" he said, I nodded. We walked together like usual, but he lingered behind a few steps.

   Lunch time rolled around the corner, and that was even more awkward. Mike and Eric both were awkwardly silent and they sat far away from each other... I guess they found out they both asked me.  The only one beaming was Jess of course, she's always bouncing in her seat. "Hey Bella, do you want to hangout this weekend?" She asked, tearing off a piece of the awkward-ness. I wanted to hangout out with Jacob. "Sure" I responded. "Cool! We should see a movie, what do you want to see?" She said bouncing like a bunny. "There's this new zombie movie out, it seems cool" I said not really into the mushy, love stories. This caught her off guard. "Oh, alright cool. Mike you should come" she said looking at him. He looked up confused "huh?" 

    Jess laughed it off and said "I said, you should come see a movie with me and Bella." He suddenly raised his eyebrows excitedly. "Ya, sure, sounds fun" he said out of his daze. Then it came to me, "hey can I bring along a friend, so one of us won't end up as the third wheel?" Jess seemed to love the idea. "That's a great idea Bella, who?" she asked. "My friend Jacob, he lives in La push" I said hiding my blush. Mike frowned a little but Jess was still cheery. "Alright, sounds like a deal" she said. 

    So I get to hang out with Jacob after all.... perfect.
