(A/N: Okay, so as a lot of you may know, the site is being stupid when it comes to changing or making a Twilight category story XD, I have emailed the peoples 3 times with no response still, but hopefully it'll begin to work again here soon. So I have 3 fans of this story so far so here goes nothing~
I hope all of you "The Angel with Devil's Horns" fans are reading this, too~ LOL, no matter what fan you are I hope you Enjoy~)
"Crap…" I muttered. I'd just spilled my Sprite all over the table and onto the front of my pants. My 3 friends burst out laughing and I stood up and balked at the mess I'd made and my now ruined jeans. Rae handed me a handful of napkins and I snatched them up quickly. Then, I began dabbing at my jeans with them, absorbing as much of it as I could.
"Smooth Leanna," Leslie joked, grinning from ear to ear. I stuck out my tongue at her as I continued to dab.
"It looks like you peed yourself!" Ivy exclaimed joyfully, still laughing hysterically.
I wadded up my used napkins and threw them at her. They hit her square on her face. I chuckled as Rae handed me another handful.
My friends and I had been shopping at the mall all day down in Cape Girardeau (Rae's mom was with us… and she was… somewhere…) and had decided to eat around one at the McDonald's there while also grabbing some cookies from the cookie store near-by in the small food court.
So far we'd hit: JcPenny's, Justice, American Eagle, Hollister's, and Claire's. We were having tons of fun, too, and we'd bought lots. At Claire's we'd all bought the same charm bracelet, we got our initials to add to them but we considered them our new friendship bracelets.
We were all wearing ours right now.
The four of us were all in eighth grade and going to the same school together, the public school in a small place called Perry County. We all, obviously, lived in Perry County, but we were spread through out it. Rae and I lived in the outskirts of a small town called Altenburg, Ivy lives in an even smaller town called Crosstown, and Leslie lives IN Perryville.
Right now (lucky us) we were on Spring Break (so we were off today *Friday*, we had this weekend and then Monday and Tuesday also to enjoy our break) so we'd all decided to use our Friday to go shopping and then have a sleepover. Rae offered her house, because her mom was off work today, so that's where we were headed after this.
"So… after she gets cleaned up… where are we headed next?" Rae asked, glancing around while also sipping on her 7Up.
"OH!" Ivy shouted, jumping up out of her seat. I grinned and Leslie snickered, her jump had been comical, like something had bit her or surprised her.
Rae was grinning, too. "YES Ivy? Do you have something to say?" she teased.
"I'm dying to go to Macy's," she imputed, "BUT I also want to go to Aeropostale still… and maybe Hot Topic or–" she began to babble on but, just then, Rae and I spoke, cutting her off.
"What about Barnes & Noble?" we both suggested at the same time. We flashed a grin at each other when we did.
Ivy groaned. "But I HATE reading…"
"I don't!" Leslie piped in.
"Three against one!" I laughed triumphantly. "SO, we are going to Barnes & Noble, we can go to Macy's right after that," I reassured Ivy, who grinned then.
"WAIT, I want to go to Old Navy's too," Leslie argued. "They are having a sale."
"Yes, but I still need a dress for the Easter dance and Macy's always has the best dresses," Rae countered.
"I need one too," I agreed, "and Macy's does have a good selection."
"Yeah, and I need one also, but I still want to go to Old Navy's," Leslie told us.
I shook my head grinning at her stubbornness. "Don't worry, that will be our stop after Macy's."
Leslie grinned.
"Let's go," Rae said, grinning as she rose also. Then Leslie stood and I hesitated.
Rae laughed and tossed me her jacket, which I quickly tied around my waist. It didn't cover up much… but it was better than nothing.
"You KNOW, we should go to Macy's first and get you some new pants," Ivy suggest, obviously still against Barnes & Noble.
"ZIP IT! We are going to Barnes & Noble and there is nothing you can do about it," Rae told her firmly. Ivy sighed.
"You can always just look at the music there," I suggested to Ivy. She thought about it and smiled.
"True… I've been dying to get my hands on Ke$ha's new CD 'Animal'…" she told us, still grinning.
Rae smiled. "See, now everyone is happy."
We cleared off the table we'd been eating on and grabbed our bags and purses before we began making our way towards Barnes & Noble. As we walked, Rae and Leslie began to discuss what they wanted to buy.
"I've been dying to get my hands on the sequel to Shiver," Leslie told Rae excitedly. "I've heard sooo many good things about Linger!"
"I'm going to get some new sketch pads," Rae told us. "They have so many pretty ones, and most are made from recycled paper too!"
"You know… MOST things are made of recycled paper now-a-days," I pointed out to her.
"Go hug a tree you two," Ivy joked.
Rae stopped walking and we all did, too. "What, and you're telling me that YOU don't care about the environment?"
Leslie piped in, too as Rae and Ivy discussed their feelings on the topic. It was a friendly argument, but still a fun one to watch, which I did, smiling and shaking my head.
Rae was my closest friend of my three BFFs. I was fairly close to them, but Rae and I were like sisters, we'd known each other all our lives and our moms were close friends. We talked often and went over to each others' house every day after school, alternating every other day. As long as I HAD known her, she'd always been very green… she was the reason I recycled.
My thoughts were interrupted by the lack of noise suddenly coming from my friends. They were also interrupted when Rae elbowed me… That's when I looked up… and noticed what had caught all of their eyes'.
Six extremely hot guys were walking towards us on the other side of the… pathway.
Just then, I realized that all of my friends (including myself) were basically drooling over these boys and staring at them like love-struck puppies… but when one of them (with black hair and blonde highlights… None of the others had highlights… but they ALL had tan skin) laughed I suddenly didn't care….
"Man are they HOT…" Leslie whispered, sounding like she was out of breath; awestruck.
"I wonder if that younger one is single…" Ivy mused under her breath, a bit of longing in her voice.
"With bodies like that? Puh-lease, girls probably–" Rae was saying, but I didn't hear all of it, something had distracted me.
Just then, one of the boys looked at me…
Nick's POV
"Remind me again… WHY are we here… No, why am I here?" I asked no one in particular. Trey laughed and slugged me in the shoulder.
"Do you want to get a gift for Amber's birthday or not?" he teased.
"Say not and break-up with her already… You didn't imprint so why waste your time…" Jack grumbled under his breath. I growled at him and he snapped his mouth shut.
"She IS a bit of a bitch…" Shayne breathed quietly, agreeing with Jack.
"One more bad comment about her and someone's going to get hurt," I threatened, but it also came out as a command. Everyone grew quiet.
I hated using my Alpha tone on them… but I wouldn't listen to them dump on her anymore… Especially Jack, he could be a bit obnoxious in that way… sometimes, and it got real old real fast.
After a bit of silence, Shayne elbowed Leo and whispered, "Those girls are totally staring at your butt."
Leo laughed. "WELL… I AM pretty darn hot," he said. Then he licked his finger and touched his butt. "Szz…"
Jack burst out laughing, completely breaking our silence. "Good one man," he said and first bumped Leo.
I looked up, curious who was balking at us… and noticed 4 girls staring at us… One had short, black hair… one had dusty blonde curls… another girl had short blonde and brown hair… and the last one…
… was a girl with long, brunette hair and bright blue eyes which were looking right at me…
When I saw those eyes, my whole world changed. It felt like my every previous reason for living got snipped away… all of which were replaced by thoughts of her…. SHE became my only reason for living; to protect her, help her, BE there for her…
I'd just imprinted…
… and I didn't even know her name…
… AND she was only… 13 or 14…
No one noticed my shocking transformation at first… but Jay did after a bit (for he'd imprinted already himself).
"Which one?" he asked quietly in my ear, his voice filled with concern and curiosity.
I had no idea how he knew, but I knew instantly what he was talking about. "The long haired brunette…" I whispered under my breath.
Jay patted my back sympathetically. "Sucks… you'll probably never get to really meet her either… It'd be a bit weird if a 20 year old just randomly walked up to a girl of her age… People might call the cops…"
I growled under my breath, flashing a glare at him… but I winced mentally. I knew how imprinting worked, and NOT being able to see her WOULDN'T go over well with me…
"Wait, what's going on? WHY are people going to call the cops?" Trey asked, over-hearing a bit of what had been said.
"Nick, here, has imprinted," Jay told him, patting me on the back and grinning.
Jack heard him, too, this time. "With a KID? Ha!" he laughed. I growled at him, louder than I had at Jay.
"Hey, way to go man!" Shayne congratulated me (he'd already imprinted, too). "Sure, it's terrible that you don't know her… and maybe never WILL… Yeah, that really sucks… I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't see Ashley every day…"
"Oh yeah, way to make him feel better Dr. Phil," Trey teased, slugging Shayne on the shoulder.
"You should just go ask her her name. If she asks, tell her we dared you," Leo suggested.
Just then, the short black-haired girl spoke, whispering to my imprint.
"Leanna… come one, we need to go… STOP STARING…" she whispered harshly to her, tugging on her sleeve.
"OR… the gods could just tell you," Jack suggested, laughing again. I wanted to smack him so bad, to wipe the stupid expression off of his face…
"SO… now that you know who you are meant to be with the rest of your life…" Leo started, being very sarcastic about it. "Where are you going to go the get Amber's gift?"
I was too busy watching the girls leave (Leanna flashing a glance back at me every few feet until one of her friends scolded her to stop) to really hear him.
"Nick!" Leo called. I glanced back at him.
"Huh?" I asked.
Leo rolled his eyes. "Where do you want to go to get Amber's gift?" he repeated.
"Who's gift?" I asked, my thoughts all on Leanna still.
"Your girlfriend," Leo said, drawing out the last word.
I didn't respond, watching Leanna turn the corner.
"He's already broken up with her in his mind," Trey joked, elbowing his brother.
Leo laughed. "Probably, bro, probably!"
"Dude… she's only 13," Jack told me, a weirded look on his face.
I growled at him again (I'd growled at him a lot within the last half-an-hour). "I don't think about her THAT way you idiot…"
"Sure, sure," Jack told me, his voice smug.
One of my hands began to shake and I quickly clenched it into a fist. I probably would have lunged at him if Jay wouldn't have reached out and held me back. "NOT HERE… " he warned harshly in my ear.
"Don't provoke him Jack," Trey snapped, stepping forward to stand in between us. "OF COURSE he doesn't think about her that way… When Misty was younger, the only thing I could think of her as was a friend… one that I was very protective of…"
Jack just shook his head, but he backed off.
"NOW…" Shayne said, cutting in, "to get our minds onto something else… How about we head down to the sports store for a while?"
"Fine, let's go…" I agreed ruefully and we headed off.
