"Wake up, sleepy!" someone shouted in my ear. I groaned, looking over and I jumped at the face that was suddenly so close to mine..
Whoah! "How are you here..?" I gasped, surprised to hear my voice for once. I had been running wolf for..god knows how many days. Three? Four?
The girl in my face laughed. "I had some help getting here. Oh and don't worry," she glanced down at the blanket that covered my waist and below, "I didn't peak at you this time!" she giggled.
I blushed. "Natalie do you know that.."
"Your family are wolves? Sure, I've known all along." she interrupted me with a shrug. She flipped her long black hair and I rolled my eyes.
Natalie was my best friend. When we were in third grade, we had met and become really close. When I got into eigth grade, I finally fell for her. She was..pretty much the love of my life. She had big, beautiful brown eyes and black hair that was like silk as it flowed past her shoulders.
"Are you- are you serious!?!' I sputtered, sitting up and careful not to let my blanket fall off.
"Sure. When Maddie told me what happened to you, I wanted to find you so your mother helped me find you. I just well, it's a long story and I don't feel like explaining." she huffed impatiently.
I laughed. "Alright. Er, um..yeah sorry I didn't change.."
"Sam, shut up. I'm not here to see you naked, regardless." she narrowed her eyes.
I blinked. "Right. Well, let me get changed really quick," I whispered, scrambling for my clothes. She nodded, spinning around and shutting her eyes so I could change into a t-shirt and jean shorts that I had when I ran from the house.
Natalie was wearing skinny jeans and a light sweater. Hm. Was it really chilly out? I couldn't tell. When she spun around, I just finished dressing.
"Arn't you cold?" she gasped.
I shook my head and took her hand.
"Oh..OUCH. Sam, what the f-"
"Natalie." I interrupted her swearing.
"Right. What the FUDGE. Your so damn hot."
I chuckled and winked. "Why, thank you." At my words she blushed and then sarcasmingly replied,
"Yeah- you wish. Come on, let's go for a walk. Maybe I'll warm up." she began walking and I followed.
The lost little puppy that I am.
Truth was, Natalie had feelings for me too, and she knew it. But I couldn't deny the ache, the realization of truth that I didn't feel burning intensity like my father said I would to an imprint. It bothered me that destiny had not chosen me to be with this girl. But when I watched her walk and laugh, I just couldn't help thinking someone was better for me than her. Impossible.
"Sam?" she waved in front of my face. She put her hands on her hips and frowned. I smiled suddenly, then tackled her to the ground. "HEY! No fair," she protested as I pinned her down and laughed. "Your like, so much stronger than me now. Meanie," she whined.
"Ha, not my fault I'm all muscle!" I cheered, victory in my voice.
"Yeah, you are. I told you, everyone assumed you were a work-out junkie." she smirked as I rolled off her and sat in the grass. She sat next to me. I sighed, looking away. "What's wrong?" she asked softly.
"I know you're going to ask me to go home- but I can't." I whispered.
"Sam. Your my best friend," she wrapped her tiny, skinny hands around my forearm. "I love you no matter what, and I do want you home. But, I'm not going to make you come back."
"I know." I murmured, taking my hand in hers. "You mean a lot to me, and only a real, true friend would come out here all the way. My own family wouldn't even," I laughed without humor once.
Natalie said nothing as she watched me carefully. "Your different Sam, I'll give you that. You aren't my Sam anymore," she laughed, pushing me playfully.
"When was I?" I laughed. "I haven't changed a lot."
"Your huge! Your..so much..scarier. Look at your arms Sam," she compared hers to mine. I frowned. Mine was bulging, very wide and muscular. Hers was very thin, feminine like.
"So? So my arms are different, big whoop."
"I'm literally sweating sitting right here next to you, too." she added with a roll of her eyes. I shrugged.
"Andddddddd..I know about imprinting." she added. I tensed and she let go of me.
"What?" I snarled.
"Sam, I know what it is and I was wondering..if it happened to you." she coughed. "I mean, with me."
"Oh." my voice was toneless.
What do I tell her? I couldn't lie to her. But..I truly did love her. I didn't want to hurt her either.
But I couldn't deny the truth.
"No, I didn't." I replied, my eyes shutting.
"It's okay Sam, I still love you. A lot."
"Thanks."
"Don't you love me back?" she squealed, laughing. I smiled.
"Yeah, I do."
"Then say it,"
"I love you Natalie."
"Now show me." she begged.
"How?"
But before I could answer, she kissed me. I blinked, taken aback and just enjoying the moment.
The girl- my best friend- my love- since the 8th grade I had been dying for this kiss.
But why do I feel, at this moment, that I just betrayed someone?
Extra Flashback ~
"Hi," murmured a small girl to me as she slid into the blue chair next to me.
"Hey," I sighed softly before got back to coloring with the green crayon that I loved. I was drawing a big wolf, my daddy, and then my mom. She blinked and then smiled, hovering over my shoulder.
"I'm Natalie, who are you?" she giggled. I looked up, surprised by how dark her hair was compared to my light red.
"I'm Sam, but most people call me Sammy or just plain Sam. Whatever you want." I smirked.
"Sam! I'll call you Sam! Where do you live?"
"I live near..um, a pond. Sorry, I don't know my address yet." I smiled. She shrugged and then looked at my picture.
"Is that your dog? He's a cutie!"
"Thanks but um, no that's not my dog. I just like puppies, is all." I murmured.
"Here, let me show you how to draw their mouths! Like this, make a curvy line.." she murmured, stuck her tongue out and took the crayon from me. I watched as she taught me how to draw a better face on my father.
'Thanks!" I laughed.
"Hey Sam?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"Will you be my best friend?" she asked shyly. I looked at her and smiled back.
YAY FOR CUTE LITTLE TODDLER SAM!! (:
