(FLASHBACK)

"Kim honey, we're going to be moving soon!" my mom said

"What! Why?" I screamed. I didn't want to go! I just developed a HUGE crush on Jared Thail. I know I'm only in the sixth grade, but that's huge!

"Kimberly! Calm down sweetie!" she said. How dare she tell me to calm down!

"Okay! I'm calm just please tell me why!"

"We think it's best if we take a break from here. I was doing research and found out I have Spanish relatives! So we're going to go to Mexico, Chile, and maybe some other places!"

"No mom!" I felt tears come into my eyes. I was being torn away from all my family and friends just because SHE wanted go to Mexico. Fine, you want to so bad, go on your OWN! What am I saying? I wouldn't want my mom gone would I? Suddenly I hear the door open. It's my dad. He looked stressed out and tired.

"Hey baby girl!" he said to me

"Hi dad. Are we moving?" I asked him as my brother Josh and older sister Khloe came in.

"Yes we are and we will be leaving next Friday and that's final" he told us. Khloe, Josh, and I looked hurt. I immediately ran into Khloe's arms and started crying. I know we sometimes hate each other, but I was so glad to have her there. Khlo, Josh, and I sat on the couch and cried all night.

(PRESENT DAY) KIM'S POV

I wake up in the morning after a long night of sleep. I'm super energized today. Once I get out of bed, I got in the shower, my green eyes red. Once I got out I pulled my platinum blonde hair into a high pony. I know! Me with blonde hair? My mother freaked when I did it, but I told her that I got tired of it being black, and wanted something different. The truth is, it constantly reminded me of home. La Push. I still thought about it daily and mostly HIM. Jared Thail. My used to be crush. I was totally convinced he was THE man of my dreams, but now maybe, a little. It was nice out today in Mexico. Oh yeah, we lived in Chile for three years till' we decided Mexico. I put on a tank top and shorts.

"Hey Mom?" I asked when I came into the kitchen

"Yes sweetie?" she answered, running her hands through her black bob.

"I'm going out for a run,"

"Okay that's fine. Be back in 45 minutes!"

"Will do!" I told her. I turned on my iPod and turned to my favorite song "Firework" by Katy Perry, and started singing along. I've heard my parents and siblings say I have a wonderful voice, and I think that I do. I just don't brag though. I've always hated braggers. By the way, I'm seventeen years old. I'll be a junior when school starts again in the fall. I can't wait. Soon after I got to Mexico, I made lots of friends. I love them all, too.

This is why I run: to clear my thoughts and just think, but sadly all I could think about was Jared.

When I finished running, I came into my house. I went to the fridge to get bottled water. My thirteen year old brother Josh pushed me. Well, tried anyways.

"Ha ha! You really think you can push me out the way?" I ask teasing him

"Shutup, Kim!" He said. He was always like this, angry. Ever since we left.

"I'm sorry I was just teasing!" I told him honestly. My twenty year old sister Khloe came in the kitchen also.

"Como estas?" she asked me. We also HAD to learn Spanish, and I can gladly say that my family and I speak it fluently.

"Estoy bien, gracias." I told her. She smiled and poked me. She always did this, I really don't know why. I always looked up to Khloe, even as a little girl. She can be over the top outgoing, though. But I still love her.

"Can you guys get cleaned up before lunch? We have some important news that you'll want to know!" My father said excited. Hmph, I thought. I decided to flat iron my hair and wash it since it was gross and sweaty. I picked out a pair of jean shorts, a purple tank top with a nice white cardigan, and my favorite rocket- dog shoes. I came downstairs and took a seat next to my mother and Josh.

"What's up?" Josh asked. It took everyone a minute before mom cleared her throat.

"Well, my best friend from the Makah reservation Emily, remember her?" she asked. Everyone nodded. "You all know it was really hard to say goodbye to her, but she called me and said she has a wedding coming up"

"So… we're moving back to la push!" I said. I was so excited I didn't know what to do!

"Yes! We are!" Daddy told us

"Yay!" Khlo said excitedly

"Yes! When?" asked Josh

"Right now! Her wedding is next Saturday" my mom said. I was so excited. Emily was like a second mother to me!

"But, there's a problem" my dad started. OF COURSE! "We are selling this house, and we already bought one in La Push, but we have to build another room, so I'm getting some construction workers to work on it."

"So, Emily volunteered to have someone stay at her house for a couple of months until it's finished" my mom said

"Who's living with her?" I asked, nervous

"You are Cupcacke" my dad said

"But why! Why can't Khloe stay?" I said

"Because I don't want to!" she said sticking her tongue out. Wow! I thought. Real mature!

"Fine I guess I will" I settled. Only because La Push meant Jared. Hopefully he doesn't have a girlfriend, because that would suck….

SAME DAY, JARED'S POV

(Note that this is one year after he went wolf… :P)

After I patrolled, I went straight to bed, dreaming of the girl I always dream about at night. There are two girls; or the same with different hair. One has beautiful dark brown hair that goes down to her waist. She also has the vibrant brown eyes that you could look into every single day! Another has gorgeous blonde hair that goes to her waist and stunning green eyes. If only you were real and not my imagination! My phone rang and I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hey man it's me, Paul" he said. The angry hot- headed wolf

"what do you want I'm sleepy!" I said, tired

"Okay whiney pants! And I'm calling because it's a pack meeting at Sam's ASAP"

"Alright on my way" I told him. I got out of bed and went straight to Sam and his fiancées Emily's house. Did I forget to mention that he imprinted on her? I just hope I do one day. Maybe soon. I passed my mom, not bothering to say hello or bye because she knew I was doing 'my thing' as she liked to call it. I went straight into the house and I smelled Blueberrry muffins. I took one and sat on the couch.

"Well someone's late" Embry said. I ignored him and saw Emily coming in the house looking stressed

"Hey Em!" I said

"Oh hi Jared" She said smiling, but I could tell she was worried.

"What's wrong?" I asked her. It wasn't good when your personal chef was upset, because that meant horrible food. And I just really cared…. NOT! I'M ALL ABOUT THE FOOD! Sam would probably kill me right now if he could get into my head.

"That's why you are here.," Sam started saying "Emily's best friend Abigail is coming back to town. She used to live here a long time ago. She, her husband, her two daughters, and her son are coming back," he said

"So?" Quil, Embry, Jake, Paul, and I said at the same time

"Their daughter Kim, I think that's her name, is living with us because they have to build an extra room in their house. So that means absolutely NO wolf in the house! Okay?" he said his 'alpha' voice on.

"Okay" we all said

"You mean Kimmy? I went to elementary school with her!" Quil shouted. It all came back, Kim Connweller. I didn't really know her that well, but in a small town like this, everyone knows everyone.

"Good, they will be here around nine or ten o' clock." He told us. I was so bored so I got something to eat. Then I just started making bets with Paul.

KIM'S POV

Once I heard the news, I went straight into my room, pulling my hair up into the messiest knot, threw on some sweats, and tried thinking about how I'm going to pack all my things up.

-.( Later that day on the plane)

All I could think about was Jared. I was so mad that I couldn't sing on the plane, because if I could, I would. I love singing. It let me take all my emotions out, whether it's rage, sadness, happiness. Finally when we were in the car, I got to do that. It was hard telling all of my best friends that they most likely would never see me again. But I dwelled on how I would see one of the people I live to make fun of (Besides josh ) Quil! When we were little I would do anything to make him mad, not like super angry though, I'm not that mean!

"Mom when will we be here it's already seven and I'm tired" Khloe said running her hands through her dark brown hair.

"We're here!" mom and dad said. I got out of the car and saw a little cute white and yellow house. Emily came out and ran straight to my mom.

"Oh my gosh! You're here!" Emily said hugging her and jumping around.

"I know! I cannot believe you are getting married!" mom said

"Yes and I can't have it without my maid of honor!" Emily said. My mother had tears in her eyes.

"Of course!" mom said. At least she was happy. I got annoyed with my hair and let it all down,

"Khloe is that you?" Emily asked

"Yes! How are you?" Khloe said hugging her.

"I'm good. Wow you've grown up a lot! And Kim?" She asked turning to me.

"Hi!" I said hugging her.

"I couldn't even recognize you! BLONDE hair are you serious! And GREEN eyes?, the Kim I know has beautiful brown hair and eyes!" She looked disappointed. I HATE when people are disappointed in me!

"I'm sorry I just wanted something different!" I said feeling guilty, my Spanish accent overtaking me

"I'm just teasing!" she laughed. She really got me there! She said hi to Josh and John (My dad), and told us 'kids' to go inside while mom and Em caught up. When I got inside I saw nine HUGE guys in here! I'm surprised they could fit in such a little house! I mean they are like 6 feet tall! I saw this huge guy come up to us

"Hi I'm Sam Uley, Emily's fiancée," he said as everyone turned to see us. I froze as I saw Jared here. He was so HOT! He had all these muscles, and let's just say that he wasn't like the Jared I remember. His face went from complete boredom to awe and adoration? He looked adorable! I couldn't look away from his gorgeous eyes. Khloe cleared her throat.

"Hi my name is Khloe " she shook his hand.

"Hi Sam, my name is Kim," I said tearing my eyes away from Jared, which hurt.

"I'm Josh" my little brother said

"It's nice to meet you all. This is Paul, Jared, Quil, Jake, Embry,Seth,Collin, and Brady,"

"Hey!" they all replied. I saw Quil and ran to him.

"QUIL!" I'm so happy to see you!" I said hugging him, he felt super-hot. I saw Jared start shaking and I heard some guy—Paul?— say something like 'you did didn't you?' Whatever that means. All I cared about was hugging Quil. He's pretty much my best friend!

"Jared outside now!" Sam said taking Jared outside. Once I got out of the hug, Quil had a guilty look on his face. Something weird was going on…. And I needed to get to the bottom of it.
