Grace [On Hold]

Chapter 5

Lunch time. Good, because I was beginning to think that my stomach tried to eat itself from the inside out. "Show me where the damn lunch room is before I eat you people!" I yell at Kameron, Jacob and Alex. Alex was the only one who actually looked scared, while Kameron and Jacob just laughed.

Jacob noticed the look on Alex's face and quit laughing, causing Kameron to stop as well. "Dude, is she serious?" he asks Alex. My brother nods.

"As serious as a tornado," he tells Jacob. "Now let's show the scary sister the way to the lunch room, yeah?" Alex says warily as he lightly shoves them to move. "Run now," he whispers. I wait five seconds before running after them.

I don't sprint like I would love to do right now, knowing that Alex wouldn't be, but fast enough that my rep with running wouldn't be crushed. Kameron must have told all her friends, because many guys came to me and asked if I beat Alex in a race.

They must have not known we were related. I confirmed their suspicions and challenged them, but they declined, claiming they didn't want to 'wear me out'. I scoffed at them and walked away. They probably didn't want to risk getting beat by a girl. Men.

I turn the corner they took and duck and dodge through the crowd not losing their trail. I speed up a little and burst through the door, getting several weird looks from people. But I didn't care, I was on a mission.

I scan the room and see the three of them in the middle of a line. I barge through the line. A couple of people tell me to go back, but I glare at them until they wither under my gaze, then dropping their eyes, they let me pass.

Once I reach them, I punch Alex in the arm. "You didn't not just make me run for food!" I go to punch him again but he grabs my arms and puts them behind my back. He moves up in the line, ordering our food.

"I'll take two burgers and three apple juices and she'll have the same only orange, not apple," he tells the lady behind the counter then looks at the other two, who had looks of worry on their faces. "Don't worry. This happens all the time."

The lady hands over the food as Alex lets go of my arms. I reach for the plate and make hurried gestures towards the other two. When they get their food, we walk to an empty table and sit down. I sat in between Alex and Kameron.

I eat slower than I would like to, seeing as Alex is doing the same thing. He keeps giving me these looks and they're irritating the hell out of me. "What!" I hiss at him, seeing that Jacob and Kameron are deep in conversation. I feel a pang of jealousy shoot through me, but I shake it off. He isn't anything to me, I tell myself, nor do I want him to be. We talk so low that our conversation wouldn't be picked up by humans.

"I heard you earlier," he states, taking a drink of his juice. He was the same way with apple juice as I was with orange. I think we have some sort of addiction.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask him, having no idea what he was talking about.

"Earlier, before second hour when Kameron introduced you and Jacob. I heard you," he says, still not giving me any clue to what he was talking about. Like I can read minds.

"Like that helped me at all. All I did during that time was chug a juice and belch. I barely said a word!" By now he was irritating the piss out of me. "Quit stalling and tell me already," I growl at him, making the other two occupants at our table turn to look at us.

"Wow, Grace! What did you do Alex?" Kameron asks, Jacob just staring at me. I don't know why, but for some reason his coffee colored eyes had me entranced.

"I didn't do anything," he states innocently, giving me a look that told me that he would tell me later. I just glared at him and look back at Kameron.

"Don't let him lie to you. He told me that there was this rumor and that it effected his ego. I growled at him and told him to stop being such a pussycat. He's an egotistical horn dog." I spit the last part as if it left a taste in my mouth.

I go back to my food and ignore the others. I hope what I wrote got to it's place.

Jacob's POV

She was so different than what I was told. Never would I have expected Grace to be this girl in front of me. Every time she'd touch me, electricity would run through my veins. So very cliche but so very true. She was cocky, confident and smart. Also beautiful. She was so very beautiful. Her flaws hardly noticable with her personality.

But the fact that she didn't try to hide her true self from me--or anyone for that matter--is what makes her original. I also noticed she only wore a necklace, no make-up or other jewelry. The pendant of her necklace was her name, with a crescent moon substituting for the 'c'.

She's original. I could tell when Kameron described her to me before first hour. After first hour, she was famous. She has been the only person in ages who has told off Mrs. Edgar. Ever. And then the fact that Kameron went around the school and told everyone that she beat a 'football-player-looking dude' in a race. No one knew it was her brother. She must be pretty confused, but before fifth hour, I'll fill her in.

I'd do anything for her, and if Jason was here, he'd tell me I was whipped. Not that I was a player, but Jason was. And he thought I was, but those were just little white lies...

Right?

Ooh....what is that paper she's talking about? I don't even know! It's just something I threw in there!! I know, not a very thought out author, but to be honest, I never am. I just write what come to my head. Out of the twelve books I've ever started, none are finished.

Aaand...I gave you a new Pov.!!! How was it? Should I leave it in Grace's Pov. or should I add Pov.'s? I don't know, but feedback would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Aaaaaaaand....I threw in another character! Who's Jason? Even I have no idea! Like I said, not very thought out!

Again, I would like feedback on the Pov. thing...and this is getting long sooo....

Bye Penguins!

P.S. pic is Jacob...
