A/N; Well, here is chapter 2, hope you like it :) Also a big thank you to my first reviewers, ArielMermaid, pnkprincess01 and alynawt!

I sat there chewing the tip of my pen, I couldn't help but stare. Jared had changed a lot since anyone had last seen him. His long hair had been cut short, he had grown at least three feet and his entire body was now bursting with muscles.

Mr Feldhoff turned to the door and acknowledged Jared, "Ah Mr. Thail, I suppose," Jared nodded his head, running a hand through his hair, making my insides turn to mush. "Yes please come in and take a seat, I have already been spoken to regarding your whereabouts."

That comment brought me out of my daze. What whereabouts? Whatever happened to him over the break? That was the question on everyone's mind and I wanted to shout it out loud, but I held my tongue.

I groaned. Great Kim, Jared, the guy of your dreams who was already way out of your league before, is really going to notice innocent, average-looking, you, when he now looks like that. And by the looks of all his new admires, I wouldn't say he was about to learn your name anytime soon.

Everyone watched as he moved from the doorway, into the room and made his way to a single seat in the back. You would have thought that because of his size, he would have been awkward and clumsy, but he was quite the opposite. He moved with such agility and grace that he could have been considered elegant.

The lesson continued, but I couldn't concentrate. Something inside my stomach kept pulling me to the back of the room. It was like someone was poking me constantly, tempting me to look back. When I did, a warmth filled the inside of my stomach. Jared was slouched back in his chair, sleeping. His eyes lightly closed and his head resting on one side. His muscular arms were crossed over in front of his chest, rising up and down in synchronization with his breathing, and every now and then the corner of his lip would twitch. Heaven was right there, sleeping in the back of my biology class.

"Hey," A cheery voice appeared behind me as I walked down the hallway. Seth dug into his pockets reveling a brown paper bag. "Look what I got you," He said handing it to me. I opened the bag and peered inside to see a bruschetta. Ah, just what I needed, food. My stomach growled fiercely and I bit my lip.

Seth chuckled next to me,"Good timing then, I guess?" He asked, raising one eyebrow. I chuckled in reply. I was always jealous of how he could do that, he made it look so cool. He did try to teach me a couple of years back, but whenever I attempted it I just ended up looking like a constipated ostrich with an eyebrow problem.

"How was biology?" He inquired, shoving his hand in his pockets while walking with me towards the cafeteria.

We headed towards a spare table in the middle. "You'll never be able to guess what happened," I blurted, my head snapping up to meet his eyes. He was going to freak once he found out.

"An alien from out of space came down and brain washed all the students, but somehow you managed to get out alive, using your awesome ninja skills?" He guessed, bouncing on his toes and trying really hard not to laugh.

I grinned taking a mouthful from my bruschetta and swallowed. "Close, but no,"

How was I going to put this?

"You know, how at the end of last year, everyone was acting really weird because Jared and Paul disappeared and never came back to school?" I questioned.

"Yeah..." Seth dragged out, trying to work out where I was going with this.

"Well, I was in biology, there was a knock from the door, and none other than Jared Thail, was standing in the doorway," I reported. A proud smile found its way on to my lips; I had gotten all that out without blushing or stumbling over any words, that might had given away about my little crush on Jared.

"Seriously?" Seth muttered quietly.

Well that wasn't quite the reaction I was hoping for. I don't know what I was hoping for, but it wasn't that.

"And you want to know the most interesting part?" I urged.

He shrugged.

"He has completely and totally changed! He's all tall with short hair and bulging muscles. He's practically the Hulk, well, a non-green and more attractive looking version of the Hulk," I emphasized pausing, "Still, you get the point."

Seth sat down at the table with his face down, not responding.

I pulled out the chair and joined him at the table.

"Seth?" I hesitated.

He looked up.

I studied his face, he looked so concerned, "Did I say something to offend you?"

"No," he softly answered.

He gripped the paper bag containing my bruschetta and started tearing off pieces on the corner. "I-... Just, well, Mum bumped into Jared's mum at the shops ages ago. Jared's mum was really worried about him. She said he was really sick," He paused, tearing off another piece from the paper bag, "She said, that it was really serious, that he had a high temperature and was having serious mood swings."

"I think it might be going around. It's the same thing Paul gave to Embry in the holidays," He carried on, placing the paper bag back in front of me.

It was defiantly something to consider. Poor Seth, I knew Embry was a touchy subject with the council and that sort of group. "I'm sorry Seth, I shouldn't have said anything, I didn't know,"

"No, I'm glad you said something," He admitted, giving me a crooked smile. He furrowed his eyebrows, "I'm just worried. Jared was the first one to start hanging out with Sam after he got sick, then Paul," He waited, as if thinking to himself, "and now after Embry's got better, he's hanging out with them as well. It just makes no sense."

"Maybe they bonded over their sickening experience?" I suggested trying to help the situation. I tucked some hair behind my ear before speaking, "I wonder how Embry caught what Jared and Paul had? I mean, it's not like they hung out before."

"Yeah," He breathed, "It's a mystery."

Then it was a mystery that we'd just have to solve.

The day came to an end quickly and I was back at my locker before I knew it. As expected the first day back to school was a tiring one. I was exhausted and aching in all places, I just wanted to crawl under the sheets into bed and sleep. I fiddled with my padlock to get the right combination and opened the door.

"Homework.. homework.. homework," I mumbled quietly to myself, trying to spark my memory on what subjects I had for homework tonight. It didn't take long for me to gather up all my books and place them in my bag. I grabbed my english novel and my physics and history text books. I tapped my fingernails on my locker door, and when I couldn't think of another book to bring home I closed the locker door and turned around.

"OOMPH," I grunted, slamming straight into somebody. My books slipped from my hands, and scattered on the floor around me. I stared down at the floor looking at the books, and groaned. Way to go Kim.

"I'm sorry," a deep husky voice rumbled, "Here let me pick them up." He bent down to gather up all my books.

"No need to be, I'm so clumsy sometimes," I blubbered, staring at the guy who was currently on all fours picking up my books. The boy stood up and raised his head, his eyes connecting with mine. The books from his hands fell and his pupils widened.

Something inside my stomach turned.

It was Jared.

Dum, Dum, Dum! What will happen next? How will Kim react? How will Jared react to imprinting? Did you guys want to see Jared's or Kim's p.o.v next chapter?

Reviews are much appreciated! XD
