Liz POV

I just finished Diver's Ed and getting my permit in three days. School's starting soon; I'm excited to see all my friends. It seemed like just yesterday was the beginning of eighth grade year. I'm lying in my bed remembering the good old days, grade school. When all my friends were in the same school and we were all looking forward to getting out of this hell hole.

*FLASHBACK*

Walking into school on the first day; I was a little late because my mom insisted on driving. She cried the whole way; her little girl was almost in high school. I walked into the class room and saw my two favorite people. Sam McGovern was sitting in her seat being the weirdest one there . . . as usual. She was talking to Lexi Webber who looked like she was going to punch Sam. I mean this is what happens when the shy dark girl (Lexi) becomes best friends with the crazy ass (Sam) and the preppy bookworm (me)

*END FLASHBACK*

My reverie was broken by my mom screaming my name.

"LIZZY!"

I sighed and rolled off my bed. Coming down the stairs I replied, "What!"

"Are you doing senior league volleyball?"

"Yep." I said popping the 'p'

"Ok, take shadow out."

I called shadow and got his leash. We walked around my oh-so-boring neighborhood when something caught my eye. It was a moving truck. I stopped to see who it was and I saw a girl about my age carrying a box. She turned and smiled, "What a cute doggie. Oh and you're pretty too."

I laughed at that. "His name is Shadow, we just got him."

"Oh cool. Well come in, we love dogs here."

I walked in and went up to her room. "My name's Nessie by the way," she said.

"I'm Elizabeth, preferably Lizzy"

"Ness!" I heard someone yell.

"Up here Jake," she called back. I gave her a questioning look.

"My best friend," she explained.

"You bragging about me again?" I heard him say from the doorway. I turned and looked up. Damn was he tall . . . and hot. I smiled and said, "I'm Lizzy."

"Jake. Hey Ness you wanna go for a walk?"

"We're gonna get lost . . ." she said skeptically

"I'll show you around," I said happily.

"Cool thanks. I'll get my brother, Seth to come," Jake said.

"Alright, I'll be downstairs, Shadow has to pee," I said looking down at my puppy.

"Ok, I'll be down in a second," Nessie called.

When I walked out the front door I smacked into a box. "Oops sorry, do you need help with that," I asked.

"Nah, I got it." The shirt-less boy put down the box and looked at me . . . Awestruck. Wow, I thought, if Jake was hot this guy's a god. I blushed a little and outstretched my hand. "I'm Lizzy, I live in the neighborhood."

"I-I'm Seth," he said not breaking eye contact.

"Oh so you're Seth. We're going on a walk with Jake and Nessie."

"We?" he asked a little dreamily.

"Yeah, Jake's making you. Sorry"

"No it's cool. Uh can I talk to you a little later?"

Yeah, sure thing." Then Jake and Ness came down ready for the walk.

Seth POV

"Ha, Delaware; of all the places in the world we move here," I muttered to myself as I unload the last box from the moving truck. It wasn't that it was heavy, not much is anymore. I was getting tired considering I was up all night looking for vampires. My mind was busy how my patrol went last night when I heard a loud *thud* it sounded like someone running into a wall.

"Oops sorry, do you need help with that," I heard a voice say. Who was that?

"Nah I got it," I said putting down the box. And that's when it happened. My whole came to a stop around this beautiful girl in front of me. Her eyes seemed endless and her hair, beautiful and golden, reached just past her shoulder blades. She blushed and my heart completely stopped. "I'm Lizzy, I live in the neighborhood." Lizzy . . . Elizabeth . . . beautiful.

"I-I'm Seth,"

"Oh so you're Seth. We're going for a walk with Jake and Nessie," she said brightly.

"We?" I whispered starting to love that word.

"Yeah, Jake's making you. Sorry." She started to frown, and I didn't like that.

"No, it's cool." I realized I had imprinted and I needed to tell her. "Uh, can we talk a little later?"

"Yeah, sure thing." She said with a smile that lit up my world. That's when Jake had to ruin it by coming down stairs. I looked up and saw his face. He knew what I was thinking and he couldn't help but smile.
