Seth sighed, sitting down next to a girl in his math class. He didn't want to go to class now. He was so far behind, he had no idea what was up and what was right. The teacher sneered at him, while he glare. The girl looked at him in worry.

"Seth's still burning up, Mr. Teek." The man frowned, walking over. Seth rolled his eyes, allowing the man to feel his forehead.

"I can't miss anymore school." The teacher sighed, nodding as he went back to what he was teaching. Math was his last class of the day, so Seth quickly ran into the forest and shifted. He was running to the Cullen house when it happened.

A boy was sitting on a fallen tree, sketching out the scene before him. Seth distantly noted that it was a group of rabbits, a deer, and a few birds. However he was more focused on the boy. He had deathly pale skin, dark sapphire eyes, and black hair. He was wearing a skin tight black shirt that had a bunch of colors splashed on it with the words 'EXPRESS YOURSELF' in cursive, and black cargo pants that were tucked into black boots. His head had a white beanie on it, and his wrists were covered in white sweatbands. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Seth realized the boy should have a coat on, since it was freezing outside still.

Seth was entrapped by the boy. He couldn't look away. It was as if nothing else mattered but this boy. Like he was the only other person on Earth. It felt like a billion of little steel cords were drawing him to the teen. Seth felt like he could stare forever at the pale beauty and never get bored. That when he felt the world crash around him.

Dude, Seth! Why are you staring at a kid? Jacob's voice asked as he shifted. He and Nessie were out hunting.

Jake, I think I just imprinted... His alpha froze, almost knocking Nessie off his back.

Are you sure, man? This is a guy you're staring at.

I know what it feels like to have imprinted, Jacob Black. He snarled in his mind. Jacob flinched, what do I do? I can't move, I stepped on a bunch of leaves, and if I move I won't be able to pass it off as just the wind. He'll know something is here with him.

Deep breath. Can you shift without him seeing you?

No.

I don't know what else you can do other then wait him out.

But...

Or you can go up to him.

That's suicide, Black.Seth snapped.

Not really, he's drawing animals. If you approach with caution and don't act like you'll hurt him, you'll be fine. Seth gave in, agreeing to try. He edged his way out, tail behind his legs. The teen froze. The scent of fear drifted to the shapeshifter's nose. Seth lowered to his belly and whined as the scent of something else came. Beef Jerky. The teen paused.

"Did you smell the meat, boy?" Seth hesitated before yipping happily. "Here." The boy pulled some out of the bag, throwing them at the giant wolf. Seth went closer, giving a puppy look. "No way! This is my lunch, you can't have all of it." Seth noted that the boy had an Welsh accent.

A foreign kid, Seth?

Shut up, Jacob.

Yeah Jakie be nice to Seth. Daddy says whatever you're saying is being mean to him.

Seth snorted before looking at the teen again. The boy was flipping the page to his sketch book. Once on a blank page, the teen started to draw Seth. The wolf was sitting like an average house dog, so that made it easier. It wasn't long before the teen was talking again.

"I just got adopted here. I was left at a hospital by my mother when I was five. I don't remember her much, but I do remember that she only did it because she couldn't take care of me. She was so upset the day she dropped me off. The man we were living with, he would smack me around. Mum said that I was going to be healed by the kind doctors and then she would be back. She never returned.

Her last words were 'I love you, Cáel, now and forever'." Seth whined at the sad story. "I'm living with a kind family now. Even though they adopted me, I can't bring myself to call them my family. I'm starting school soon, I just got here. The adoption went through last week. It feels weird being in America, when I'm used to Wales. Namely Knighton, Powys." Seth was mentally gaping, but he was perfectly still as the Cáel drew him. "You have an intelligent look about your eyes. Almost as if you are human." Seth was mentally panicking. "I'm silly, I'm making friends with a wild animal." Seth whined when he stood. "Sorry buddy, I have to get home. It's late." Seth watched him go before howling to the moon.

Man, you got it bad. Don't worry, Edward swung by while he was drawing. He goes to Forks High School. I'm sure if you ask, your mom will transfer you to there.

Thanks Jake. I didn't know how bad it felt to be separated until now.

One more thing, he kind of doesn't come in clear, like Charlie. Edward thinks it's a shield.

Do you still need me? If not, I'm going home to mope.

Go ahead. Everything is fine.

Thanks man. As soon as he got home, Seth went right to Sue. "Mom, can we talk?" The woman put her book down, smiling.

"Of course dear. What is it?"

"I imprinted." The woman froze before smiling. "However, they go to Forks High School."

"I'll see if Charlie will let you stay with him." Seth grinned, hugging his mom. "What's her name?" A wince caused her to worry.

"It's...Cáel..."

"What a strange name for a girl."

"That's because she's a he. Mom, I imprinted on a guy. Jacob was in my head at the time. He can guarantee that I felt the imprint." Sue gaped at her son for a long time before nodding.

"I suppose after he imprinted on the hybrid, this shouldn't be surprising. I mean, you did have a crush on Edward Cullen for the longest time."

"Mom, I didn't have a crush on-"

"I'm you mother, I know that you did." Seth gave in, "it's going to take about a week. I'll call Charlie."
