Kind of warning I guess: As a amateur author, I try to make my characters imperfect as I can. Because nobody likes a Mary-Sue. So Laurel is a little bit of a jerk at times. Please enjoy!

Laurel POV

I slammed my locker with a loud clang that sounded through the hallway, earning me the looks of everyone around. Turning my gaze away from the blue metal, I faced the nerdy looking guy that was a year younger than me at my side. "Excuse me?" I glared. He looked honestly scared shitless.

"I... I was asking you out?" he asked more than stated.

Crossing my arms over my chest I said, "Why?" I swore he looked like he was about to faint now.

"Well, you're just really beautiful and-"

"Let me stop you there," I cut in, "Beautiful is all I am. Nothing else. Go find a girl actually worth your time, kay?" I finished before turning around and walking off. Yeah, I felt bad but it's for his own good. If I let him get close to me, he'd just end up disappointed.

It's been like this since the third grade when boys found out that girls don't really have cooties. Boys would ask me out and I would promptly shoot them down, always with the same response.

Beautiful is all I am. Nothing else.

That's all that Sirens' exist for is what my mom told me before she died. On this planet to woo men, raise a family, and then die. Happiness was not an option and true love was impossible. Just act stupid and flaunt your stuff.

No, of course that's not how I'm choosing to live. I'm not stupid. I'm going to live my life the way I want to. As for love, I'm never going to fall for someone. Not ever. And to make sure of that, I make sure that I don't let any guy or girl close. It gets kinda lonely with my dad drowning himself in alcohol most of the time and not having any friends to talk to, but oh well. You get used to it after a while anyways.

I don't even think I could get any girl friends even if I tried actually. Everyone that isn't a lesbian just tries to kill me with their eyes.

Sometimes I wish that they could succeed...

Seth POV

I laughed, grinning from ear to ear as we (meaning the pack and me) tumbled into school clumsily. This was my first day back to school since I phased. I was super excited to see what people would think when they saw how much more I'd grown. Rushing to my locker I watched as one of the guys in my class, Ethan or something, walked past me looking like he was about to cry. Quickly grabbing my books, I ran up behind me.

"Hey man, is everything okay?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me from behind round glasses for a few seconds before bursting into tears.

"Mehh mohsh ner!" he screamed at me as he sobbed before running away down the hall. Okay... that was weird. I didn't think my appearance would get to him so much.. Huh.

"Seth!" I felt a clap on my back and saw one of the guys that I usually hung around with in class. "You're back man! That must've been a pretty bad sickness. You were gone for a week!" he exclaimed.

I smiled slightly, hating that I had to lie. "Yeah, it sucked. Do you know what happened to Ethan?" I asked jabbing my thumb in his direction.

"Oh, him? He got turned down my Laurel Grey. Come on! We better get to class!" I decided not to ask who Laurel Grey was, instead running to class. Whoever she was, she sounded pretty heartless.

"Ugh, I have so much homework that my homework has homework," I groaned out as I sat down at the lunch table where Paul, Jared, Embry, Quil, and Jacob were already sitting.

"That doesn't even make sense."

"Exactly." The guys shrugged at my lack of intelligence at the moment and I looked at my food for a second before blurting out, "Who's Laurel Grey?" I don't know why, but I just had to know who she was.

"You don't know who Laurel Grey is?" Quil almost shouted.

"No.. Am I supposed to?" I asked, raising a curious eyebrow.

"Uh, yeah! She's like, the hottest girl in school!" I scoffed lightly.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it?"

"See for yourself," Jacob said, pointing somewhere behind me. Looking over my shoulder, I saw a girl sitting by herself at a lunch table. She was looking out of one of the windows, the sun practically washing over her. And that's when I knew what they were talking about. Her hair fell down in light yet rich brown waves and cupped her porcelain face. She looked pretty tall, maybe about 5'7. Her lips were a dark pink color and contrasted greatly with her skin. I couldn't see her eyes th-

Nevermind there they are. And God, I just fell in love.
