Quil's POV
Age 14.
I pulled up in front of the high school. Claire had gone with Alex again, he had gotten her a skateboard of her very own to ride. I rolled my eyes. She and Alex and been going out for over a year; still going strong as ever. It was time for Claire's first day of high school. We were both freshman this year.
I had agreed to repeat school just to be with her. I was hoping she wouldn't be with a guy when we went, though. I have to admit that I have been a grouch since Claire started going out with Alex. Everyone can see it, but no one understands it. No one else is going through the same thing as I am. Their imprints were single; mine just had to be in a relationship.
Claire, Alex, and I would be joining Nessie and Jake at high school. They would be in higher grades than us. We planned on eating lunch with them so we could actually talk sometime. Nessie looked 17 and was as full grown as she would ever get. Nessie and Jake have been going strong for 3 years now. I was happy for them, and I knew Jake planned to pop the question soon. Not sure how Edward will take that one. I chuckled lightly at the thought.
Recent years had been hard on the pack and the Cullens. Nessie was the only one who could go out in public anymore. Everyone else had to stay at their house, pretending they had moved to another state. Carlisle had quit his job, and all the Cullen kids had quit school. It has been over 11 years since they first moved to Forks.
None of the Cullens had gone out in over 7 years. They need to move on and start over, but they can't because of Nessie and Jake. They can't just leave Nessie here, and Jake can't just leave. He's our pack leader now. We're still trying to figure things out, but it's not going so well.
I waited by the front entrance for Claire and Alex to show up. It didn't take them long. "Hey, Claire, Alex!" I waved them down, forcing a smile to my face. Claire's face lit up when she saw me. Alex followed her over to me.
"Hey, see you got the hang of your skateboard, Claire."
"Yeah, now I don't have to ride with Alex on one board. And when he's sixteen, he can just drive." Claire grinned from ear to ear. Alex grinned as well, taking her hand in his. He really loved her and hadn't hurt her at all yet. She loved him too, it was easy to see. I would think they made a great couple if it wasn't for the fact she was my imprint and soul mate. The girl I was destined to be with forever.
------------------------X------------------------
After we had gotten our schedules, we split up to head to first period. None of us had class together until 4th hour, when we had lunch.
"See you later, Claire." Alex said.
"Bye, Alex." Claire said. She leaned forward and quickly pressed her lips to Alex's. I mentally grimaced, not something I wanted to see. "Bye, Quily. See you in 4th."
------------------------X------------------------
I sat down next to Jake at lunch. Claire and Alex were in line, talking, hugging, kissing, all that junk. I sighed.
"How much longer is this going to go on Jake?" I asked. I knew no one could answer my question, but I asked it all the time.
"It'll end when it ends, Quil," Jake replied with his usual answer.
Nessie frowned from across the table. "I know she's happy, but does she not see how miserable you are? Because, no offense, but your forced happiness for her is easy to see through."
"Well, at least I learned one thing today."
"What's that?" Jake questioned.
"High school sucks," I muttered.

Weee! Another chapter finished. I know it's short too, but, I wasn't sure what else I could add in there. Sorry for anyone who wanted more. I'm getting close to my idea now. I want to type it out and get it to you so you can read it. Because I'm sure you are dying to know what I've got up my sleeve. ;) Review please!
