Quil's POV
Age 12.
I was waiting for Claire at her school. The day had ended and I was here to pick her up. I watched as Claire walked towards me. Something was off, she normally came running towards me. Today she was walking slowly, as if she was concentrating deeply.
"What's up with you?" I asked.
"Huh?" Was her brilliant response. "Oh, sorry. I was just thinking."
"About?" I pressed. Claire didn't say anything while she put on her helmet and climbed onto my bike. I climbed on in front of her. She wrapped her arms tightly around my waist. I pulled on my own helmet and kick started the motorcycle. (A lot of us had decided to get motorcycles recently. It was an easy, fast way to get around when we weren't shifted.)
"School..." she was acting way to weird to be thinking about just school.
"Anything in particular?" I asked. I felt her shake her head against my back. I drove down the road towards Sam's house. "You can tell me anything you know. I won't tell anyone else if you don't want me to." I shouted as we rode home.
"Promise?" She asked.
"Promise, Claire-bear."
It was another several minutes before she spoke. "I have a crush on a boy in my class." She finally admitted. When I heard those words, I nearly wrecked the bike. It took me a moment to steady us and calm myself. It's just a crush. I repeated in my head. Besides, she's allowed to like other guys. This is why we didn't tell her about me imprinting yet.
I decided to put my feelings away for now and just be her older brother/best friend. "That's great, Claire." I said. "I'm really happy for you."
"Really, Quily?"
"Really, really. You're allowed to have crushes. That's where everything starts for couples. With a simple crush. Do you think he likes you?"
"I don't know. I haven't told him I like him yet. He's one of my good friends and I'm afraid something will happen to our friendship if I tell him. Or if he rejects me if I tell him." she replied.
"Well, you oughta tell him sometime. It's better to take the risk and tell him than never tell him and then never get the chance to. I'm not saying you have to tell him tomorrow or anything like that, I just mean sometime soon. Before it's too late."
"But if you do get together with him one day, I'll make sure he knows not to hurt you in anyway. Or I'll beat the crap out of him."
"Quily! Be nice." Claire giggled from behind me. It was quiet for few seconds. "I want you to meet him, Quily."
"Really?" I wasn't expecting this.
She nodded against my back. "Really, really."
I nodded. "Okay, I'll meet him."
------------------X------------------
"Come on, Alex. I've talked about him for years, it's about time you meet him." I heard Claire coming before I saw her. "I promise he won't beat you up." Claire emerged from around the corner, dragging a boy by his wrist. He looked her age, maybe a year older than her. His light brown hair was short and spiked up. He had dark brown eyes like most Quiluetes.
"Claire! Let go! I can walk you know." The boy, Alex, was trying to tug his wrist free from Claire's grasp. I chuckled lightly at his failed attempts.
"I know. But I want you to meet Quily. You'll meet him soon anyway, he's coming to my birthday party next week."
"Claire. Would you let the boy go already?" I asked, laughing.
Claire let go. "But he wouldn't come, Quily."
"He's here now, isn't he?"
"Yeah, I guess. Anyway! Quily, this is Alex. Alex, this is Quily!" She introduced us excitedly.
I shook hands with Alex. "Good to meet you, Alex."
"You too, 'Quily'." He laughed at Claire's nickname for me.
"It's actually Quil, but she hasn't stopped calling me Quily since she was little."
"Okay, Claire. I met him. Now what?" Alex asked, turning to smile at Claire.
"Now, to the park!"

What'd you think? It was alright I guess. And yes, Claire's birthday is in a couple weeks. So next chapter will only be a few weeks to a month after this one. Review please!
