I walked out of the building with a bright smile on my face. Ever since I left La Push and went to college in Port Angeles I've never been happier. Don't get me wrong! I miss a lot of things about La Push…I miss getting to see Seth and my mother everyday. Although I was a very….angsty…ok lets be honest I was a TOTAL bitch.

I feel bad about it now actually. I mean the break up with Sam was devastating though, especially since he imprinted on Emily and right away they got together. It hurt deeply…but I've actually learned to let it go. I'm going to school for psychology, I want to be a counselor to misguided youth. It's helped me learn a lot about myself, after I got a scholarship it wasn't hard to leave. I mean the pack didn't hate me, but they didn't enjoy me either. My mom didn't understand me, I was holding Seth back and I couldn't be happy until I could get away from it and rethink everything, and now I definitely have and I have to say it's totally refreshing.

I'm definitely not the same girl I was…after I quite the pack for college I grew my long velvety brown hair back out, I started wearing makeup, and dressing better. I mean I learned to love myself…but now that Summer vacation is finally here, I just can't wait to go back to La Push and try to make some things right. Mainly with Emily, we used to be like sisters, and after the whole thing with Sam…I just don't know… I want to make things better though. I need closure for myself and I think they do too. I kept walking and thinking and then all of the sudden I crash into what feels like a brick wall.

"Oh hey! Shit…I'm so sorry are you o.k.?," the voice said with concern.

"Umm…yeah I think so…," I say and end up looking into the most gorgeous blue eyes I'd ever seen. Right then my whole world twisted and the Sun meant nothing and the only thing that did was the gorgeous eyes in front of me. We stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever, but when we looked away it wasn't nearly long enough. Then I knew….I had just imprinted….Wow so this is what it feels like…

"I'm so frickin' sorry. Are you ok? Do you feel any pain? Maybe you should go to the nurse." He said his voice really worried an full of concern.

"Oh no uhmm I'm fine. See not a scratch," I say dusting off trying to calm him down, seeing him upset hurts me too…wow this could get really complicated…Jeez now I REALLY feel bad for Quil, he imprinted on a little kid, they're always getting hurt and crying.

"Are you sure…?" he said still not believing me.

"I'm fine don't worry." I say and feel him relax.

"I'm Chance…Chance Beckman," He said all James Bond-ish. I couldn't help but laugh, even though usually I would feel really uncomfortable with a stranger.

"I'm Leah Clearwater" I say smiling at him. He smiled right back just as much, but I'd say more.

"I know this is really lame and kind of weird…but can I have your number…so we could go out sometime maybe if you weren't busy..?" He asked nervously.

I smile again and blushed.

"Yeah totally, I'd love to" I quickly write down my number and give it too him and feel shocks run up and down my spine as our fingers touched. I could tell he felt it too since he jumped a little. I giggled. JEEZ when does Leah Clearwater giggle….this is madness

"Well, I'll definitely call you Leah" He said and smiled brightly before walking away.

The second he left I let out a GIGANTIC sigh. Phewww he likes me too! That's a relief. What would have happened if he thought I was ugly or something…a hurt ran through my chest and I realized it was the imprint. But then I quickly replaced the thought with another of us holding hands and a happy light feeling took me over and I felt like singing…

Wow…who knew imprinting could be so…so…beautiful…

I smile and sigh at the thought.
