Change My Mind (Jacob Black)

Chapter 3

KATIE'S P.O.V

I sit in homeroom with my earbuds in. The teacher is a lousy man, who is just playing a DVD. I doodle on my notebook, and zone out. After a while of doodling, I yawn. The dark room and movie blaring makes me sleepy, and I drift off the sleep.

"Katie! Katie!" I snap my eyes open. Jacob is leaning over me, with concerned eyes. I blush. "I'm good." I say. He laughs. "Class is over." I sit up and grab my bag. Being the clumsy weirdo I am, I trip over my own feet. But apparently Jacob has superhuman reflexes, because he grabs me. My heart is pounding, and I can feel his as well. Suddenly, searing pain rushes through me. I grit my teeth and stand up. "Are you okay?" He asks. But I'm in too much pain too answer. "Katie!" he yells. I fall to the floor, and he grabs me again. His touch feels good, and it helps soothe the pain a little. I squeeze my eyes close, and grip the his shirt. I stand up. and exhale deeply. "I'm okay." I whisper. He looks at me. "Are you sure?" he asks. "I'm fine. I swear." I say. Jacob sighs, but I know that he's still worried. I brush myself off and walk to next period.

I walk into last period, which happens to be my free period, thank God. I look around for some people I know. I smile when I see almost the whole gang except for Seth. I sit down at the table. "Hey guys." I say. But they don't move. "What happened?" Paul growls. I'm confused. Oh. He means the incident in first period. After that, Jacob was always around me, and he wouldn't leave my presence. "I'm fine." I say. "Really. And where did you hear that from?" I ask. Paul shrugs. "Hey guys." someone says. We all turn to see a girl and a guy. The girl is somewhat pretty, she has medium length brown hair, and her skin is so pale she could be a snowman. Then I notice that the guy is also very pale. But he looks like a model, very chiseled and handsome. He looks at me with confusion, and then he looks frustrated. I stand up. "I'm Katie." I say. Her eyes narrow slightly. "Bella." she says. I turn to the guy. "I'm Edward." He says. "Katie?" I hear a familiar voice. I see a blonde head, and black hair next to that. "ROSALIE!" I scream. I rush forward and hug her. She laughs and hugs me back. "Hey. What about me?" Emmett yells from beside me. I laugh and hug him too. He grabs my waist and lifts me into the air. "You know these people?" Edward, Bella, and the gang asks, surprised. I laugh. "Yeah. I've known the Cullens for a while." I say. I turn to Edward. "But I've never met Edward." he laughs. "I joined the family about 2 years ago." he explains. I nod. I wasn't here when he joined. I glance at Bella, who looks a little upset. "Katie!" someone yells. Damn. Why are all these people calling for me? I see that the voice is coming from Jacob. He runs toward me and embraces me. I'm taken aback, but I hug him back. Paul growls, but I ignore it. "You okay?" He asks. I nod. "Jacob. Can I talk to you? ALONE." Bella seethes. What ruffled her feathers? As she walks by me, she pushes me, and I fall into Edward. He grabs me, and I quickly get up. She rolls her eyes, and they walk out of hearing range. "I know you only hugged her because you want to make me jealous." Bella says. What the heck?? How can I hear her?? That's so weird. "What are you talking about?" Jacob asks. Bella rolls her eyes. "You're just hanging out with that slut because you want me to be jealous." Bella says. HEY. Who is she calling slut??? That bitch. Jacob grabs her arms. "Don't you dare call her that. Don't ever talk to me again. Go away." He growls. Bella looks to Edward with big eyes as if asking to help her, but he just shakes his head in disappointment. She looks mad, and tears her arm away from Jacob, who happened to let go at the same time. She falls to the ground, but no one helps her up. She huffs and gets up and stomps away. Edward sighs and rolls his eyes, following her. The gang laughs, and the bell rings. "See you soon." Rose says. I smile and she and Emmett walk away. I say goodbye to everyone, and leave for home. When I get home, I collapse on my bed. What a weird day. I scroll through social media and do homework until nightfall. When it hits midnight, I drift to sleep. Thank God It's Friday.
