Embry's Thursday
Chapter One
Thursday
Embry's POV
A year had passed since the big confrontation with the Volturi. Life had resumed into an almost normal sense. The packs had stayed separated though. Everyone understood that Nessie was Jake's imprint, but being around vampires was still uncomfortable to say the least. So Sam's pack consisted of Jared, Paul, Brady and Collin. While Jacob's pack had Leah, Seth, Quil, and myself.
All in all, everyone was happy with the arrangement. Quil and Jacob could relate on having younger imprints. Leah didn't have to deal with Sam or any else's thoughts of the other imprints. She didn't mind Quil or Jacob's imprints of course; they were glorified babysitters. Their thoughts were mostly about the girl's smiles and the silly cute things little kids do. Seth still looked up to Jacob as a big brother, and was happy to see his sister happy again.
My life was going good; seeing as I get to work with my two best buds and the patrol hours where more reasonable. My relationship with my mom still wasn't the same as it was before I phased though. But she wasn't as worried or stressed anymore and we were slowly rebuilding the trust that had been lost.
The down side of things going back to normal was having to go back to school. Not just regular school, but summer school. So now I was forcing myself to go to the library and study before I had to repeat my senior year. I was on my way to Forks because the La Push library was really only good for Tribal History. Even then Forks library wasn't the best, but I was not going all the way to Port Angeles for a book.
I walked into the library wearing cut-off jeans, a black T-shirt, and a pair of knock-off toms. Without the need for constant patrols, I had started wearing shirts and shoes again. At first it was weird, like being forced into a tux just to walk down the street. I had gotten to the point where shirts felt comfortable, but shoes were still weird.
I skimmed through the library shelves, trying to find the history section. I was concentrating so hard on looking for the stupid history section that I bumped into something, or more accurately someone holding an armful of books. I instinctively looked up, and then remembered that 99% of the world population are shorter than me I looked down.
Hunched over picking up a huge stack of fallen books was a girl. Her dark brown hair was short and layered with long bags covering her whole face. I felt a little guilty and shocked by the sight of the fallen stack of books she was picking up. So I bent down to help her pick up the books and put them on a cart she had apparently been using. I handed her the last book and apologized sheepishly.
The girl sighed, and pushed her bags out of her face. Saying in a soft tentative voice "It's okay…" She said more, but by then I was already lost in beautiful dark brown, practically black, almond shaped eyes.
My brain slowed to a stop. The world around me blurred and all I saw was her. If I had known that all I had to do was come to the library to find such a girl I would have come here years ago. Her eyes were large and kind, lips full, cheek bones high, skin tanned, body short yet curvy.
She blushed, realizing I was staring at her, and looked back to her cart of books. A small smile playing at her lips. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but she became even more beautiful. Of course I knew what was happening, that I had just imprinted. It was so unbelievable though; she was so unbelievable. She was my soul mate, my anchor to this world.
''…Are you okay? You look a little out of it.'' A grin formed across my face; she was talking to me. I shook my head.
''Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Sorry about knocking your books over," I said, running a nervous hand through my hair. The girl pursed her lips together in the most adorable way before speaking again.
''Are you sure? I mean you said you're fine, but you shook your head. Which is a natural indicator of saying no or disagreeing. It's one of the easiest ways to tell when someone's lying.'' My grin grow wider, apparently my imprint was clever and very observant.
''I'm fine, really.'' She pursed her lips again and nodded slowly.
''If you say so, and don't worry about the books, it's an occupational hazard. Besides that wasn't the first time I dropped a huge pile of books and it won't be the last.'' My brain focused on the 'occupational hazard' part.
''You work here?''
''Yep,'' she said emphasizing the "p" showing me her employee ID hanging on a blue lanyard.
''So, you live in Forks?'' I asked, trying to be casual and praying that I was succeeding. She smiled a small smile and gave an exaggerated nod.
''Uh-huh, I'm guessing you don't?''
''Nah, I'm too cool for a town named after a kitchen utensil.'' She rewarded my dumb joke with a muffled laugh and a huge grin.
''Yeah the name's kind of stupid. So where are you from, Sasquatch?'' I stopped and stared, and watched as her expression turned solemn as if she had said the wrong thing. Right as she opened up her mouth to speak, I broke out laughing. Then the most amazing thing happened. She laughed too, loudly and freely along with me.
''Sshhh!'' echoed from the old lady at the front desk with a prominent frown on her pale face. I met the girl's wide eyes and watched as she covered her mouth, trying to muffle her laughter.
She swatted at my arms and hissed, ''You're gonna make me lose my job.'' It might have been effective if she wasn't grinning so widely. We both started laughing again, a little quitter this time.
When we both had our laughter under control; I realized I didn't know her name. My eyes flicked to her employee ID, but it just said L. Munoz.
So I introduced myself, ''I'm Embry and I'm from La Push.''
She smiled up at me, ''Lydia from New York, but I moved here recently.''
I extended my hand to give her hand a shake. Even though I really, really wanting to hug her; I thought it might come off a bit too weird. She shook my hand, and I realized how small her hand was in mine. Then I realized how tiny she was in general. She couldn't be over 5 feet maybe 5'1". She looked hardly 16. My attention was diverted, by a snort Lydia made. I looked up at her seeing her hand over her mouth. I raised an eyebrow and she shook her head, chuckling.
''Sorry, I'm probably just being weird. But come on 'My name's Embry and I'm from La Push.''' I raised my other eyebrow, slightly worried I did something wrong. She shook her head again. ''Oh come on, you don't get it?" I shook his head no. My imprint huffed pushing some stray strands of hair behind her ear as she said, ''I'm Lydia and I'm from New York and I'm an alcoholic.''
''What?'' I asked, really confused now.
''Ugh, okay maybe my brothers are right that I have a weird sense of hummer. But the way we introduced ourselves reminded me of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. You know how they're all like 'I'm what's-his-face and I'm from...' You know," Lydia said her eyebrows now raised. With each word she spoke my smile grew, she was too cute. "Well umm… I need to get back to work."
''Wait!'' I shouted in a whisper, as Lydia turned to walk away.
''Yeah?'' Lydia said turning around.
''Could you help me find some books for school?''
''Sure,'' she said smiling. ''It's kind of my job.''
So in summer on a random Thursday, I imprinted on a girl named Lydia. She helped me with my history project. That helped me pass, and impressed my teacher to the point where he was nicer to me throughout the rest of summer school. Suffice to say if you asked what my favourite day of the week was, I'd say Thursday.
