Claire Pov.

Hi, My name is Claire Maricela Young. I'm currently 15 years old and I'm half Quilete and half Hispanic I have long brown hair that goes down to my waist. My dark green eyes complement my long eyelashes. My dimples make my full lips look very sensual.

I'm not pale or tan I'm simply a weird yellow color I guess. My 15 year old body is curvy and I'm very proud of it.

When my mom is on work trips I stay with my Aunt Emily and Uncle Sam. This week my mom is actually home. I am very happy about that! I've never met my dad.

The closest I've had to a father figure would be Quil. Ah Quil! Quil is in fact one of my best friends. He has always looked over me and still does.

"Claire are you sure you want to do this?" My mom asked me snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yes mom," I said with confidence. See, I wanted to get these temporary braces that only last about a month. I didn't know they existed until I looked them up on Google. My mom had no idea why I wanted to get them on.

The reason I want to put them on is to lower my popularity rate. With popularity you basically get a lot of fake friends and weirdo stalkers. I know that I am very hot.

Guys hit on me all the time. I'm never mean unless you get me mad . Hopefully, these braces will make the guys back off.

I know what you are thinking "Claire why don't you want hot guys all over you," I really just want to be looked at as average. Is that so hard to ask?

"Claire Young," called the orthodontist. I got up and my mom whispered good luck to me.

********** Out of the Orthodontist **********************************

"Claire do they hurt?" My mom asked me in her worried tone. I nodded slowly.

"Yeah, a little bit," I replied. The orthodontist said that they would be much better tomorrow morning, but right not it's hurting.

We got to the apartment. I just sat around the whole day and ate soup. I was knocked out on my bed by the time I took my pain pills.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! My alarm went off. I got up from my bed and noticed that my braces didn't hurt so bad anymore. I only felt slightly sore on my jaw.

I walked into my bathroom and smiled at the mirror. I thought my dark blue braces were pretty cool!

I finished getting ready for school and headed downstairs. I knew my mom had already left to her work. I grabbed my school things and walked to my bus stop.

When I arrived at school people greeted me like they always do. I would just wave.

"Hey Girl," Lamati, the guy I use to think was cute, said to me. "Hey," I said smiling politely. He looked shocked for a second. Oh! Yeah, I almost forgot I had the braces. "Claire I think your braces look adorable," he said smiling.

"Oh! Umm thanks?" I said confused.

I walked to my first period and people in the hall would say "Nice braces," or "They look adorable on you." I mean even my teachers would agree to that. What is wrong with these people? To say I was pissed was a complete understatement.

Finally. School was over and I decided to head to Aunt Emily's house. I walked in and greeted Emily annoyed.

"Hi Claire, now tell me what is wrong?" she asked noticing my annoyed face.

"I get these braces to get some guys to back off and to make my popularity to lower itself. I had no luck, because the total opposite happened," I said to her.

"Sorry to break it to you Hun, but you do look cute with them on," Emily admitted.

I took a deep breath and slouched in my chair. I decided to change the subject. "When are the guys coming home?" I asked her.

"In about ten minutes," she replied while cooking some food. I just nodded.

I remember about a year ago Quil and Uncle Sam told me about the wolf thing. I was shoked at first ,but then thought it was awesome. Till this day, I still think it's cool!

The packed walked in and Quil walked towards me.

"What's with the face?" Quil asked with a confused face. I smiled and he smiled back at me. "Aww, they look so cute on you," Quil said.

That just got me real mad. "What The Hell!" I yelled and got up from my seat. I decided to just go to my room to cool off.

Quil pov.

"What The Hell!" Claire yelled as she got up from her seat and ran up the stairs.

I just stood there confused. I looked over at Emily and asked her why Claire had an out burst.

"Claire had gotten these temporary braces to lower her popularity rate and get some boys to back off. Unfortunately, the opposite happened," Emily explained to all of us.

"Wait! Let me get this strait, Claire is popular and guys think she is one fine piece of … Girl, so she got braces that made her more popular and made guys want to just Tap ….. I mean they think she is hotter," Embry said stupidly, trying to cover his language in front of Emily.

Emily just giggled and said "Yes, that's one way to put it."

"Wow," the pack said at the same time.

"Why, would she not want to be popular?" Embry asked curiously.

"Because, being popular is like dating a clingy boyfriend. Speaking about boyfriends, I have little things brought to my door step and even here too," Claire yelled. Man she is just really moody today.

Embry was about to say something, but the door bell cut him off.

"I'll get it," Claire said heading to the door.

"Damn! I would've been pissed if they were flowers, but at least this guy had some sense and got me some chocolate," Claire said to herself as she sat down on the sofa.

I noticed she had a huge basket loaded with sweets. Oh! Dear baby Jesus don't let her get all hyped up. I might just take them and hide them somewhere if I get the chance. Candy + Claire = Super Hyper Loopy Claire.

"See guys this is from my many stalkers," Claire said referring to the candy basket in her hand.

It hurts to know that your little imprint is growing up so fast.
