As hinted in the last chapter we will find out about the mysterious Call girls previous life. More will be told in future chapters of course.
~**~Seth POV~**~
Gotta get to lunch. Gotta get to lunch. Gotta get to lunch. I was bolting to the cafeteria. I really need to tell the guys about my insane new imprint. Gotta get to lunch. I nearly squashed a poor freshmen but I didn't care right now. Don't get me wrong I hated it too but now that I'm a junior I could care less.
I rounded the corner only find Alli's scent invading the doorway. My mouth began to salivate at the tropical breeze. I sucked in a huge breath and forced myself to keep moving. As soon as I entered I began my search for her. I spotted her on line for lunch with a few girls I recognized from my Math and Biology classes. She was talking and laughing with them. She seemed happy. I felt myself relax at the thought of her happiness. Alli casually flipped her hair over her shoulder, causing a soft and heavenly alignment allowing a long strand to extend down to the nape of her neck. I must have lost all sense of direction because suddenly I'm crashing into tables and chairs. I felt a steady hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Jake glowing with happiness.
"I see you met Alli Call. Heads up though she's Embry's cousin." Jake half laughed. My heart dropped in my chest. Embry would kill me if he found out I imprinted on his cousin.
Jake guided me to our usual table at the center of the cafeteria. It was large and round. Perfect for a pack of wolves right? Wrong. It was totally cramped when everyone laid out the insane portions of food we ate.
Jake sat down next to Quil and deliberated between the two seats on either of Embry. Left or right? I quickly chose right before he could see how tense I was. Embry wasn't alone at our table. A seat away from him was Kim who was next to Jared who was next Paul who was next to Quil who was to Jake who next to me who was.. Okay! Vicious cycle!
" Hey Embry." Jake said in a singsong voice. How can he be so calm! I'm gonna die!
Embry nodded and smiled at him knowingly. He knows. I let out a soft groan and let my head hit the table. I closed my eyes preparing myself for a slap up the side of my head. But it never came. I looked up slowly at Embry.
"Relax kid. I know you probably imprinted on my little cuz. I don't like it but I'll put up with it for her. Hell Quil imprinted on her sister this morning!" he told me in a gruff kinda way. I thought my brain was gonna explode. What? Why would he be so understanding? And who was this sister of hers.
Just as I was about to ask Alli sat down beside Embry. Then another Alli sat down beside her. What the hell is goin on? They looked exactly like each other. They had to be twins. Except one Alli had died the tips of her hair red. The other Alli died them a Golden brown color. I remembered the Alli I saw in gym had red tips. I could defiantly tell them apart now. The real Alli sat between myself and Embry. Fake Alli sat on the other side of Embry.
" Everybody, these are my cousins. Nessa and Tori." he said indicating each.
"Actually it's Alli and Cam. We dropped Nessa and Tori when we turned ten.", Alli spoke up. Why did they change their names?
"What the hell?," Embry was defiantly mad now. "You guys have beautiful names. Did you forget who named you? Your Dad would be ashamed!" At the word Dad their backs tensed. Why?
"How do you know what our Dads' would want? They died when we barely got to spend eight years with them! It's none of your business what we do!" Cam was fierce but Alli was sullen and looked away from the ongoing argument.
"Camile we can talk about this later. And trust me we will." Embry's voice was defiant and strong. He seemed to have matured in the two minutes that they were here.
This time it was Jared who spoke. "Em, lighten up. They must have out grown their old names." Always the optimist aren't we?
" Thanks but we don't need help defending ourselves." Cam's voice was sharp and cold. Camile looked away from the table. Alli hadn't moved an inch. Not a fraction of an inch. DID SHE GO INTO SHOCK! Oh God my poor soul mate. I hope she's okay.
Then her soft melodic voice rose quietly. "Cam, I'm gonna take a rain check on lunch. See ya later guys." She soundlessly rose from her chair and slung her bag over her shoulder. Alli pushed her uneaten food to the middle of the table. Camile's eyes widened to be as large as dinner plates. Embry sat up straight and looked at her with apologetic eyes. But her's were already and cold and dead.
"Alli," Cam began. My blood boiled within me. Do they not see the damage they caused her? Alli was gone before Camile could start on her apology. I began to rise out of my chair but Jake held me back. I shot him a questioning look.
" Give her time. She needs some space."
I slowly sat down again. My sweet Alli was probably sad and lonely out there. And I'm here. Paul reached for Alli's slice of chocolate cake but Kim slapped his hand away lightly.
" See what you did Embry?" Cam demanded. "Why do you always do this! You had to bring up 'the dad' subject didn't you? You knew how she would react!"
"Well how the fuck was I supposed to know she's still touchy about this? It's not like I could exactly ask her! After all we haven't seen each other for what, almost ten years?" Embry's voice was in a loud whisper.
" You could try to be sensitive about this!" Cam was distraught.
"GUYS! This isn't going to help." Jared was always the level headed one.
When I left they were still arguing. No one bothered me as I fled the cafeteria. Alli's scent was still fresh so she couldn't have gotten far. I followed until I saw her slip silently into the library.
~*~Alli POV~*~
I hate my life sometimes. I walked into the library and sat down at one of the old square tables. My bag slipped down from my shoulder and fell to the floor next to me. I put my head in my hands and let out a dry sob.
My Dad would be ashamed of me. After all I've done and tried my hardest it's still not enough. Hell he's not even alive anymore! I really shouldn't have thought that. I dry sobbed again but this time I felt a tear slid down my cheek. It's been almost nine years and I still can't control myself. I need to get a grip on reality. That what Manny said.
Manny is my bestfriend. Even though he's really quiet sometimes we still get each other. He helpped me get far enough now I need to do this for myself. The tears were falling steadily now and I REALLY need to get a grip. Maybe I'll purposely flunk this semester just because I feel like it.
A warm hand squeezed my shoulder and I looked up to see Seth. His face was stricken and full of concern. I smiled weakly and his expression grew more concerned. He sat down beside me held my hands lightly. He was a burning temperature. Kinda like Manny. He pulled me in and hugged me. After a few seconds I hugged back. It was weird that he cared so much for me already and I barely know him. But his rock hard abs were somehow comforting.
"I'm okay," I whispered
"No your not." His tone was soft and even his voice was concerned.
"Trust me I am."
"Are you sure?"
"Defiantly."
"What class do you have next?" We walked out of the library with his arm over my shoulder and me against his chest.
"History."
"Didn't you have history this morning?"
"Cam and I- wait how did you know I had history this morning?"
