Devil in a Sweet Kiss [Twilight Fanfics]

The Less Traveled Road

Jacob was driving her to school. She was being driven to school. How embarrassing is that?

The whole reason Charlie had wanted her to meet Jacob and Billy again was because he was worried about her driving to school, when she had a lapse in control. She admitted that that would produce horrible results, considering she wasn’t sure if she would be able to protect herself in a car crash after her moment of weakness. But still…

“I’m sorry, Bella. I’m sure at least my company won’t be so bad,” Jacob joked weakly, and she smiled at him for his effort.

“Thanks, Jake. It’s cool. Don’t tell…anyone, okay? At least not around here.”

He nodded. “Everyone at the reservation already knows, but they won’t say anything. Charlie’s picking you up, right?”

“Yeah. I’m not looking forward to being picked up by the cruiser,” she grimaced.

“That’s too bad. Charlie was going to give you this truck, but…you know. I guess it’s still your truck. You just won’t be able to drive. Well, not for awhile…”

She laughed at his rambling at the end. “I suppose. Just drop me in the front, okay? I need to go to the front office.”

“You’ll be fine?”

“Yes, don’t worry,” she reassured him, and she was cheered even more by the adorable smile he gave her. It made her want to pinch his cheeks.

She hopped out of the truck, stumbling a little by the quickness and suddenness of her move. She gave another reassuring smile to Jacob, who looked alarmed, before heading inside. She headed straight to the office, meeting a maternal red-haired woman at the desk.

“H-hello,” Bella greeted nervously.

The red-haired woman looked up and smiled brightly, “Hello, dear. What can I do for you?”

“I’m Isabella Swan,” she announced.

The woman’s smile actually grew bigger before she shuffled around some papers and finally found what she was looking for. Handing Bella her schedule, a map she went over, and a slip for her teachers to sign, Bella thanked the woman and left. She went to first period English, meeting Mr. Mason and having him sign the slip, and then Bella immediately went to sit in the back. She met Eric Yorkie in that class. He, nicely enough, helped her go to her next class.

The rest of the morning passed by in a blur, with only her trigonometry teacher, Mr. Varner, making her stand up in front of the class and introduce herself. She also met Jessica Stanley in both Trig and Spanish. She was a nice enough girl, who liked to talk a lot. It suited Bella just fine, considering she didn’t like to.

Soon enough, it was lunch and she just walked in, wondering where she was going to sit. All of a sudden, hard marble arms wrapped around her and the cafeteria grew quiet. A minute later when the stone arms had removed themselves, she found herself gaping at a topaz-eyed boy with honey hair like her new doctor’s. He was absolutely gorgeous, with pale skin and perfect features. Bella took a quick glance around to see people staring at them, and some glancing at a pixie-like girl. Seeing the pixie girl just smiling brightly and bouncing in her seat, the others went back to staring at them in astonishment.

“You looked like you needed a hug,” the blond boy muttered before he’d quickly retreated to the table where the pixie girl was sitting at. She immediately pulled him into quiet conversation, though she was still animated, and everyone went back to their usual clamor. It was still tinged with glances at Bella or at the table where the mysterious blond and pixie sat at.

She felt herself be hooked onto by Jessica, who excitedly pulled her to her table.

“Wow, Bella! How do you know Jasper Hale?”
