SAMANTHA

I woke slowly the next morning feeling light headed. I looked around and noticed I was back in Bella`s house. Suddenly Blake walked into the room carrying a tray of food and a cup of water. He smiled at me and said, "Hey sleeping beauty. How you feeling?"

I did a quick check over and decided that I was pretty fine, "Well I feel pretty good other than my arm hurting a little."

He put the food in my lap and put the cup on the night stand. He sat down next to me and took my arm feeling it over for broken bones. Everywhere he touched sent electricity in me. I knew he felt it too by the look he gave me.

"Soo about you being a werewolf and all. Why`d you show me?" I asked completely confused.

He smiled but let go of my arm, "Well I'm going to be 100% honest with you. There`s this thing that werewolf's do. We kind of imprint on a person of the opposite sex. When we imprint that person is the focus of our world. I`ve imprinted on you."

He paused waiting to see my reaction. "So what exactly does imprinting do?"

He sighed and said, "It`s makes our feelings for each other intensify. Not just romantically but also protectively. Like in the woods with the vampire-"

"VAMPIRE?"

"Yes Sam. You were attacked in the woods by a vampire. That`s what Bella is as well. As well as Edward, Rosalie, Emmet, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, and Jasper."

"But Carlisle`s a doctor. I thought vampire`s suck people`s blood not help them get better."

He frowned but gave me some time. It made no sense. Well if werewolve`s were real then why wouldn`t vampire`s be real?

I sighed and grabbed Blake`s hand. "What do I do in all this?"

He blushed and said, "Well that`s up to you I guess. I don`t know how all this goes. I do know that I`m turning into the perfect guy for you Sam. I`ve never been like this before. I`ve never had these kinds of feelings toward anyone."

Smiling I said, "I guess that makes me kind of special."

He smiled back and replied, "Yeah it does. Sam you`re the center of my world. You are everything that makes me right now. There is no me without you."

I blushed and looked at his quilt. "Wow that`s intense."

"Yeah guess that would scare off most girls."

I looked up seeing that his expression looked completely terrified. I grabbed his hand and smiled at him. He sighed and brought my hand up to his face where he gently put it to his lips.

After that he drove me home since I still had school. I slept a little bit more until I had to get up, shower, and get ready. Blake came to pick me up around 7:30 since I left my car at the diner.

We pulled up in the school parking lot where I was nearly tackled down by Alexis. "Sam are you ok? You didn`t get hurt or anything?"

I looked at Blake who said, "It`s ok Sam. She`s a member of the pack. Just a different pack."

Alexis gave me the evil eye and then asked again, "You didn`t get hurt did you?"

Smiling I said, "I just got a bruise. Nothing too major here."

Blake took me by my hand and led me to the basketball court. "Do you guys do this everyday?"

Smiling Blake said, "Yeah pretty much. It`s partly how I became one of the best players on the team."

Realization dawned on me as I realized that I had completely forgot about the game on Friday. "So who are you guys playing on Friday?"

He chuckled and said, "We`ll be playing the Badgers. Fairly good team just horrible mascot."

I couldn`t help but laugh. Ahhh how horrible it must be to have a badger as a mascot. "Eh I never liked Badgers much anyways."

Blake smiled down at me and then jogged onto the court to play ball. I couldn`t help but realize how hot he is or the fact that he plays so well. I was enjoying watching him until I noticed the blonde on the other side of the court. "Hey Alexis who`s that girl?"

Alexis looked away from the guys to see the blonde. "Oh her name`s Ashland Martinez. She`s head cheerleader and thinks she`s all that. She thinks she should be with Blake since she`s gotten everything she always wanted in life. Ugh she`s such a typical high school bitch. I'd eat her head off if I wasn`t afraid she'd give me rabbi's."

I laughed but something about her made me uneasy. She stared at Blake like he was her prey. I was glad when the bell rang.

BLAKE

I knew something was wrong as we headed to first hour but I just didn`t know what. She tried to smile but something wasn`t there. Finally I asked her after Mr. Walker dismissed us to work on our projects. "Sam what`s wrong?"

She looked up from her paper and said, "Nothing."

I could almost hear her pain, "Sam you`re not fouling me now please tell me."

She put down her pencil and spun around to face me. "Ashland has not stopped staring at us this entire time. She scares me Blake. What`s wrong with her."

I started to make a comment but reframed from doing so. This isn`t the time. I sighed and looked at Ashland. "I`ll be back."

I walked over to her and said, "Hey Ashland can you help me with this problem real quick."

She glanced over at her partner who just shrugged, he was doing all the work to the project anyways. "You see Ashland I have this problem, that girl over there is my girlfriend and since you`re the head cheerleader and all I should inform you that I`m taken. I just wanted to make sure that you didn`t have the wrong idea between us."

I stood up and walked back over to Sam. There hopefully that made it better. I sat back down beside Sam and took her hand which made her blush but we got right to work on our project with no other problems.

I walked Sam to second hour and quickly went to mine. I sat down and was taking out my stuff for class when the announcements came on. "Good Morning Forks high. Today is a special day for two special students. Let`s give a big round of applause for Blake and Samantha as today is their official first day of dating. Let`s all make sure to congratulate them in the halls and in class. Make sure to rent their latest porn movie 'What`s new in high school'."

I knew Sam wouldn`t do too well hearing that. I stood up and asked Mrs. Anderson to be excused. She of course agreed and I went on my search for Sam. Alexis helped me find her. She stood outside the girl`s bathroom. "I already made sure that it was empty. She`s in the 3rd stall."

I nodded my thanks and headed in. I was completely out of my zone but I proceeded on regardless. I walked up to the third stall where I heard the crying. I knocked on the door lightly saying, "Sam. Come out Sam."

She quickly opened the door and flung herself into me. I gently brushed her hair down as she cried. I was going to get Ashland for this. I led Sam out of the girl`s bathroom and into the hall where Alexis quickly grabbed her hand and tried to calm her down. She cried all over Alexis too.

That`s when the principal came up. "Ah I was about to go get the 2 of you. Seems I don`t have to look far. Please come to my office."

Alexis instantly asked, "Sir may I come with her. Just until the outside of your office. I`m her best friend."

He nodded and we all left. When we stepped into the principal`s office Sam had almost stopped crying and was now hiccupping. He looked at us and said, "Blake I know you`re our best player but I can`t approve of this kind of behavior. Sam is new here and has nothing bad on her record as do you. Why would Ashland say such things about you."

"Jealousy. She doesn`t like Sam but knows I do. I asked Ashland to back off this morning that I`ve found the girl for me but I see she didn`t take that too well."

He looked at Sam and I had to grimace. She was all puffy red eyed. I never wanted to see her like this and now that I have I absolutely want to prevent it. "Ashland has been suspended for 3 weeks and taken off the cheerleading squad but I want you to come to me first next time. I do not allow bullying of any form in this school. I`m dismissing you two for the rest of the day as well. Just Blake make sure that you`re prepared for the game this Friday. Our whole school`s counting on you."

"Yes sir," was my response.

I led Sam out of the office but let Alexis lead her back to class where she helped Sam gather her school stuff. Then we went to my class to get mine and my truck. That`s where Alexis finally gave back my girlfriend. We waited there for a bit then I finally asked, "Would you like to go home, my house, or my aunt`s?"

She was quiet for a while so I put the truck in gear and drove. We were half way to my house when Sam looked at me and said, "I`m sorry."

I looked at her and noticed she was starting to get puffy eyed again. "What are you sorry for Sam? You did nothing wrong."

That sent her over. I pulled over the truck and scooted over scooping her up and putting her in my lap where she cried. I felt a mix of emotions. I wanted to beat up the person who did this to her, I wanted to hold her to me and let her cry, but mostly right now I wanted to soothe her.

It wasn`t but 15 minutes later when her back pack vibrated and she got up to check it. It was from Alexis asking if she was doing ok. Sam smiled and typed in that she was fine. She shut her phone and looked up at me. I smiled and said, "So are you feeling any better truly or is that what you told Alexis so she wouldn`t worry?"

She smiled and said, "A little bit of both."

I scooted back in the driver`s seat and asked, "Are you ready to meet my parents yet?"

She took a deep breath but nodded.
