Chapter 4

"Hey Kayla." I turned around to the voice of Seth.

"Hi Seth." I smiled at him. "How'd you do on that test we had yesterday?" I asked.

"A better question is how did you do?" He asked.

"A better question is why are you stalling? I did well, I got a perfect score. Now you?"

He handed me the paper and I was prepared for the worst, looking down at the paper a big red ninety-seven was scrawled across the top.

"Seth, you only got one wrong. That's amazing." I said handing him back the paper.

"Yeah and it's all because of you. Thanks."

"I'm not taking credit for this, you did this all on your own. All I did was help you learn it."

"Well thanks for that."

"Your welcome."

He looked like he was about to say something else, but instead he grabbed his stuff, "Mr. McDaniels said that we could take this Friday off."

I nodded my head. "Alright, then I'll see you on Monday."

"Yeah, see you on Monday." Seth said, he hesitated for a moment, then leaned down and hugged me. I don't usually like a lot of human contact, but I hugged him back.

When we pulled away he stared down at me smiling. His eyes made their way down to my neck where the wolf necklace I bought sat.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just the necklace, it's pretty."

"Thanks, I bought it in Port Angeles. It somehow called out to me, apparently, get this, You know the legends right?" He nodded his head. "Well imprints of wolves receive the necklace as a sign to other's that they are a protector's imprint and if any danger should come next to the imprint, it would be like a signal to the wolf. He would get a pull of some sort in his chest and he should follow it." I recited everything I remembered reading from the book that came with the necklace.

"That's really cool that you believe in that stuff." He said.

"Yeah I guess, this has to be a new one because the old ones are made out of wood, hand carved. I looked all over the store but the at the thrift shop the man said he only had that one."

he looked at me with his chocolatey brown eyes, they danced happily as if something I said made his day.

We continued walking toward the exit of the school together. If a random stranger was looking at us , he or she would have thought Seth and I to be a couple because of our close proximity. He started walking toward his car, when he turned around again.

"Bye Kayla Creative."

"Bye Sethy Star."

Yeah we made up nicknames for each other because we decided our names were too boring. He became Sethy Star because he reminded me of a shooting star, and I became Kayla Creative when he found out about the art projects I did.

By now my crush on Seth was pretty obvious. Well to me anyway; Seth had a way of making you one-hundred percent better if you were sad, and he made me laugh with his corny jokes about chemistry. "Come on Kayla, sit down I'm not acidic I don't burn." He was a big corn ball, and the thing is he even admits it to me all the time. He was so sure of himself around the halls, but not to the point of conceit; he helped people and defended them. Seth was a true man, he could even admit defeat most boys couldn't do half of what Seth does.

We talk sometimes and text each other, I guess you could say Seth and I held a friend title. That was better than that nerdy tutor that Seth has to put up with.

I really didn't know what to do with the extra time I was given. So I wound up at the library till nine thirty at night. I went to the super market to buy something I could make easily. When I came out I was thrown to the floor by force, I looked around the abandoned parking lot to see if the mystery man was Tyler. Sure enough, he stood resting himself on the hood of my car.

"Tyler. I don't have time for this, can you please just move out of my way."

"You see Kayla, I can't because you made Nadine leave us. She would have been my girlfriend for a year today and since I don't have a girlfriend because of you I think it's only fair that you be my girlfriend. You better stop hanging around with that Quileute boy, it's not really appropriate for you to be having other boyfriends."

"Your not my boyfriend and neither is he, but he has more of a chance than you do of even getting close enough to my heart."

"Oh baby don't be like that."

He shoved me hard enough that my head hit the hard aspalt ground. Digging a knife out of his pocket I felt the sharp edge cut into my skin."

"Don't you ever come near her again, ever. I swear I'll have the Elders on you before you set twenty feet next to her." a voice said.

Seth? Seth was here an witnessing all of this. Crap he was sure to tell my dad who started to go all active parent on me this year.

I assume Tyler ran off like a wimp after the confrontation and in place I felt Seth's unnatural warmth radiating off of him as he picked me up.

"What has he done to you?" Seth's voice was barely beyond a whisper. "Where'my gonna take her, Emily's I guess she has remedies to heal those cuts. He did some damage" He seemed to be having a conversation with himself to reassure himself that I would be okay. "What about the concussion, oh crap. What am I going to do if I lose her." I felt him go into my sweater pocket-well really his sweater to get the keys to my car. I didn't know where we were going, but honestly I didn't care. As he drove, I felt myself slip into darkness.
