I Hate Imprinting

I knew this would happen. It happens with every single one of them but my own brother, my own brother. At least Alex is gay…well I think he is, it makes me happier to assume that he is. Everyone who imprints turns to some kind of sapped up zombie only caring about that one girl. I don't understand it I really don't. The guys all tell me that I will understand when it happens to me but I don't think I want it too. Look at Brady for instance he used to be my cool twin brother who pulled pranks on everyone we met and now look at him, some love drunk loser. Sky is great and everything but she's changed him. What ever happened to brothers before lovers?

"Yo Col. Hello anyone home?" Brady tapped my head to grab my attention, waking me up from my moan fest.

"What?" I snapped.

"Whoa calm down dude." Brady frowned. "I only wanted to tell you dinner is done. Mom told me to get you. Jeesh you on your period or something?"

"NO!"

"Sure about that?" Go away you loved up puppy. I ignored my brother as I made my way downstairs, him following after. "Yo Collin whats up?"

"Nothings up."

"You sure about that."

"I'm positive."

"Come on boys your ham burgers will get cold if you take any longer." Mom shouted to us even though we had just entered the kitchen. Mad woman.

"I'm going to eat them all." Alex grinned as he took two and put them on his plate.

"I don't think so." Brady stole one off his plate as he swallowed it in two gulps I took the other with a grin.

"Thanks for saving it for me bro."

"Guys." Alexis whined. I opened my mouth to show the contents of chewed up food. "Eww Collin that's disgusting."

"And you my dear little brother are gay."

"I am not gay."

"Collin leave your brother alone if he wants to be a homosexual let him be." Brady and I burst out laughing then. Our mom was a legend.

"Mom I am not gay."

"Whatever you say Alex. I wouldn't mind if you are gay you know."

"Well that's good because I'm not." He so is.

"Anyway lets change the subject away from Alex's little problem." I watched as he sat there huffing in his seat, small tremors running through him as he got angry. "So Brady how is Sky?" I groaned internally. Ever since he imprinted on her he's become mommy's little boy, the one who is going to give her the grand kids. It's always Sky this, Sky that. I like her and everything but there is only so much I can take. I mean he is already constantly thinking of her and when he's not doing that he's with her and most of the time when he's with her they are connected at the lips. It's been like this for a year and a half now, I mean we have finished high school and everything. Greatest moment in my life by the way.

"She's alright thanks mom, oh and she said thank you for that casserole you made her and Nahuel."

"That's okay that girl needs some meat on her bones." I let out a loud sigh, shut up. Shut up. SHUT UP!

"I think she is just fine mom." Okay I officially can't take any more of this, if I hear about Sky, or imprinting, or love one more time I am going to burst.

"Thanks for dinner mom but I should go." I stood up abruptly from the table not really feeling full from the four hamburgers I managed to gulf down.

"Where you going Collin?" She asked with a fault in her smile. Great make me feel guilty but you are doing my nut in woman, just as much as Brady.

"I got a shift at Wall mart. Got to get going."

"Oh I thought you had the week off?"

"I did but I need the cash to buy that new guitar I want." Oh yes the new beauty in my life, the ESP Ltd Viper- 50. How I wanted that guitar so much. I mean the band we had going continued for a little bit until I got fed up with Brady and Sky with the lovey doveyness and they drifted away. Urghhh hell.

"Oh okay then love, have fun." I snorted fun at wall mart don't make me laugh. The only interesting part was annoying Seth.

"Col remember we have a pack meeting tonight at Sams." Brady stated.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." I slammed the front door shut behind me glad to get away from that house. Although I could hear them talking about me as I hopped onto my motorbike, that I bought a year ago finding the van to be not as fun.

"What's with him lately he is so grumpy." Mom asked my two brothers.

"Who knows mom it's Col, he's been like it a while." Brady sighed.

"Or he's the gay one and not me." Alex popped in.

"Oh I don't think so Alex you really are the gay one." Brady chuckled back. The rest of the conversation got blurred out as I put my ipod on and my helmet before revving up the bike. Me gay I don't think so I laughed to myself. I can get any girl I want I just don't bother trying as I am way to cool for all of them.

I sped down all the roads fast listening to my new 30 secs to Marz album, trying to calm my annoyance for my infuriating family. Why did they have to be so annoying? Why couldn't things just go back to normal?

"I don't remember a moment I tried to forget

I lost myself, is it better not said

I'm closer to the edge

It was a thousand and one and a million to two

Time to go down in flames and I'm taking you

Closer to the edge

No I'm not saying sorry

One day maybe we'll make it

No I'm not saying I'm sorry

One day maybe we'll make it

No, no, no, no"

I arrived at Wall mart in my quickest timing yet and ran up to the staffroom to put on the work uniform of a blue polo top and name tag. Up there by the coffee machine was Seth seeming to be skipping around the staffroom.

"Why you so happy?"

"No reason." He grinned at me.

"Seth what happened?" I sighed, knowing that deep down that guy wanted to spill whatever was making him this cheerful.

"Amy." I rolled my eyes, forgot he imprinted on that girl. "She agreed to move in with me." Oh come on I just got away form one loved up brother and replaced with one loved up best friend.

"Nice." Amy his so called imprint had long bleach blond hair that went mid way up her back, she is usually kind of quiet when she is with us guys but I guess that's a good match to Seth because then he get's to care for her. She drew me a self portrait once and I'm telling you that girl is good, got my emo fringe spot on.

"I'm so excited Col. Can you believe it both nineteen and moving in together."

"Great." I replied sarcastically, don't think he got it though.

"It is, I mean I was so happy when mom told me about that apartment dad left me in his will and now I get to share it with Amy."

"Yey."

"She's coming in to see me later, getting some paint to decorate."

"Uh huh." Oh my god shut up Seth. I came here to get away from all that imprinting crap.

"Can't wait to see her."

"And when did you see her last?"

"About an hour ago."

"Really such a long time." NOT! Come on a hour really isn't that long. "Anyway I'm on checkout today better get going."

"Okay see you down there. Just making my coffee."

"Alright see you there mate." I skipped down the stairs into the busy work area and took my position at check out five. The horrible latest pop music was tinkling through the shop. Why can't they have any decent music? Where's the Blink 182, the Sum 41, the kings of Leon. Where are all these awesome bands?

The next two hours were mind numbing but at least it got the whole love thing out of my head. The constant beep…beep…beep…beep of things passing through to be purchased soon became my new rhythm.

"Excuse me." Came the innocent voice. "excuse me."

"Yes how can I help you?" I asked still focusing on looking at what was being purchased. Paint, paint rollers, wall paper.

"Umm my friend came here and wondered off to find Seth." Amy I thought to myself.

"Amy yeah."

"Yeah that's her…umm do you know where she went ? She kinda has the car keys." I looked up finally to find myself blinded by the beauty in front of me. Steely blue eyes framed by square red and black glasses were looking directly at me with a shocked sort of impression. She had dark chin length mahogany hair that curled around her slightly tanned face, one pierced ear poking out. Oh hell no am I going to imprint. I will not let this happen. I let out a cough to sort out my self.

"Yeah I know. Who shall I say was asking?" Part of me really wanted to know her name but my stubborn self wanted to snap at her and hope she wasn't in my life. I'll be damned if I turn out like Brady or Seth.

"Amanda." I nodded and turned on the tanoy.

"Seth please could you come to check out five, Amanda is waiting here." I may have sounded kind of blunt but I don't care. The girl kept on looking at me with that shocked look as I went back to checking out her items. And by items I meant the decorating stuff. I wasn't even going to attempt to look at her again. I don't want to imprint and even though I may be getting this pulling feeling towards her I am going to refuse it.

"Yo man, hey MandaPanda." Seth said to that girl.

"Oh umm…hey Seth." I noted she seemed to have a strange sort of accent, maybe from somewhere foreign… who knows. Like I care anyway.

"You okay MandaPanda?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Alright…well I shall see you later Amy." I glanced up a little to see who was paying.

"That's $35 please."

"I'll pay for it man." Seth answered, so I gave a nod and turned my attention back to my feet. "You alright Col?"

"Fine, why wouldn't I be?" He rose an eyebrow at me and I ducked my head some more. "I got to go my shifts ended, see you Amy…Amanda." I liked saying her name way to much.

"B..bye." I literally sprinted away and upstairs to the staffroom. Got changed and ran for my motorbike. Seth was right behind me.

"Dude where you going we have that meeting."

"I'm not going." I shouted over the roar of the engine.

"Sam wont like that."

"I don't care." And with that I was off. This has to be the worst day ever.
