Jake was late.

It was so annoying. How would I ever get to school on time when he insisted on driving us in that stupid Rabbit? He could have any car he wanted, within reason, of course. My dad would get me anything, and that meant, by extension, he would get Jake anything, too. But nooo, Jake insisted on driving that slow death trap, simply because he couldn't bear to let my dad buy him anything. No matter how much their relationship had advanced, there were somethings Jake just couldn't let go of.

School was so much more fun now that Jake could go with me. He had dropped out years ago when he became a werewolf, without any real intention of going back. But then, after he imprinted on me, he just decided he would wait until I caught up with him, and we could graduate together.

I had to be the luckiest girl in the world. We were in every class together. It was our senior year, and soon we would be done with high school and able to really start our carefree, immortal lives. I would stop growing soon, if what Nahuel had told us 5 1/2 years ago was right, and Jake would never get any older, so long as he kept phasing.

Who could ask for more? I would get to spend the rest of eternity hanging out with my best friend.

And Jake really was the best friend a girl could ask for. He always knew exactly what I needed, whether it was a hug and a shoulder to cry on, or just some chips and a coke when I was hungry. I guess it must have been the imprinitng, but he always seemed to know exactly what was on my mind. It got on my nerves sometimes, though. I could never surprise him with anything.

I guess I should be used to that though. Between him, Aunt Alice and my dad, I hardly ever had to say anything out loud. In fact, I could have gone through my entire life without speaking if I wanted to, because I could just touch anyone who couldn't read my mind automatically.

Too bad that didn't work at school though. Teachers were so imperceptive. It really got on my nerves how you had to spell everything out for them.

Jake finally pulled up.

"It's about time!" I said. "I wish you would just let dad buy you a faster car. We are going to be sooo late!"

"So let's just ditch, if we're going to be late anyway." He flashed me his most persuasive smile. For someone who was supposed to be so much more mature than I was, he really had a flair for getting me into trouble.

"Jake, really? It's so close to graduation...We can't start messing up now. What if we get stuck here for another year?"

"Aww, c'mon. It'll be fine. We won't be doing anything today anyway...I already asked Alice." He winked.

I sighed. Aunt Alice would be his accomplice in this. She always gave Jake whatever he wanted when it concerned me.

"Ok, fine, but where are we going?"

"You'll see..." He grinned and pulled me into the car.

Something was different about today. There was a change in the air. I couldn't put my finger on it, but something big was gonna go down. I could almost smell it.

Alice had assured me that none of our teachers had planned pop quizzes for the day, so I was free to take Nessie out for some fun.

Boy, was she gonna freak when she figured out what I had in store.

I had been planning this for a while now.

The perfect trip for my perfect soul mate.

Vaguely, I wondered when the full implications of that phrase would set in...

So, this is something I was playing around with today. Let me know what you think, if you like it, I may continue. More reviews more story.
