Title: My happily ever after

Summary: Kimberly Connweller is content with her life but feels like she'll never be important; however after nearly a year of fancying the strikingly charming Jared Timber, she comes to learn just how important she is. Rated M for a reason. By the way I'm not American so I'm sorry if I get any of the details wrong.

Chapter 2: Suddenly I See

I was stumbling through the dark, dank forest with my heart beating erratically in cheat and throat. It was behind me and it was gaining fast. I could hear the thud of its paws against the worn out earth. And in the distance I heard a throaty howl.

I woke up to a loud howling. I was just about to jump out of bed when I heard a boisterous shout "Shut up, back up." I flopped back down with a sigh. You see my dad is a PD (private detective) but he used to work in the police department and so he named our dog Back up.

I got out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom to wash up. Once i was done i headed to my room to get dressed. I wore my favourite dark blue jeans and a cute, dark blue t-shirt that had a picture of Pluto on it that said "It's okay Pluto, I'm not a planet either."

I grabbed my bag and hurried out to catch the bus, not forgetting my rain coat, this was La Push after all. I jogged/staggered to the bus stop praying in mind i might actually catch it in time. As i rounded the corner the bus was nowhere to be seen but Lane however was.

"Hey, Lainy baby"

"Hey, Kimmy Kim"

We got on the bus and headed to school. As we walked in i heard snippets' of conversation;

"...bigger now..."

"...they both are..."

".. oh my god, more muscles and taller..."

I looked questioningly at Lane but her look mirrored mine. I picked my books from my locker and went to the prison cells some people actually had the nerve to call classrooms. I doodled my way through chemistry and math. It was when i was getting on with my work in history that my ears perked at the mention of Jared.

"Yes, he's back and looking yummier than ever, him and Paul Kimkirk." Said Julie Markson, she was 'the hottest' girl in La Push high and was known to have a new boy on the go every month.

But right now I didn't hate her; she gave me the information I needed. You see star of my fantasies Jared had been off school for 3 weeks as had Paul Kimkirk, Jared best mate and basically the most intimidating guy in the school known for losing his temper at the drop of a hat. But what made the story more appealing to most people was that the same thing had happened to Sam Uley.

I scurried to Physics with a smile on my face. It was probably strange as I hated it with a passion. But it was one of the three lessons that had that had a seating plan and one of the two were the seating plan said I sat next to Jared. I was one of the first students' in the room which probably accounted for strange look on Mr. Skinners face; it was no secret of my dislike to the subject.

As the whole class showed up and settled in I watched the door like a hawk trying to see anyone who looked remotely like Jared but no such luck.

It was as the last few students came in and the door closed that I felt a heavy thud on the work bench next to me. I snuck a glance out the corner of my eye and saw the god like creature sitting next to me. He had cut his hair short and at first glance this seemed to give him a more mature look but as i continued to look it was him who looked more mature. Julie was right, even sitting down he looked taller and he was definitely stockier.

It was when i looked up that i realised Mr. Skinner had already started his lecture, so i immediately picked up my pen and scribbled down what he had already wrote.

I was furiously copying notes of the board when Mr. Skinner decided to pick on me;

"Miss Connweller, what is the most ionising form of radiation, Gamma, Beta or Alpha?"

See, now that's what he asked but what I heard was "Miss Connweller you should have been paying attention but wasn't so hope you're lucky enough to guess it right while the whole class is staring at you."

"Erm...Gamma?" I hated how timid my voice was but everyone was staring at me so my heart was going into overdrive.

"Yes, but pay attention Miss Connweller."

I dipped my head back down firmly telling myself to listen and concentrate. As i sneaked a glance at the God sitting next to me i gasp.

He is staring at me intently as though I'm armed. As i gape back the whole world ceases to exist and closes in around his warm brown eyes.
