Paul's POV

I felt that familiar smile tug at the corners of my mouth as I walked toward Wai, I was determined to win her over no matter how long it took. She turned around and grinned in my direction; I waved at her, then realised she wasn't looking at me. Brad walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her; I could feel my heart burning with jealousy. I clenched my jaw and watched silently. Brad leaned down and kissed Wai's forehead, I would've felt better if I'd just been hit with a baseball bat. I felt my tray slipping from my fingers, but I didn't hold on, almost as if I couldn't hold on. My tray hit the floor with an almighty crash, destroying all the food I had piled onto it. Wai peered at me from behind Brad, I felt my body twitching and knew I had to get out. I fled from the cafeteria running as fast as I could to get out of sight. I'd just reached the forests edge when I felt my body pull itself into a wolf. I bounded into the forest, till there was no possible way for me to be seen.

Is it possible for this to kill me? Seeing her with someone else? I paced back and forth, taking deep breaths.

I howled into the wind, letting my pain out. I could feel my body changing back into human form; I wiped the tears from my face. I sat there in silence, my head resting on my knees.

I'm going to win here over, I have to! I heard pounding foot steps coming toward me, Sam.

He dropped some clothes on the ground in front of me; he looked at me wearily. Then turned to leave.

I took a deep shuddering breath; carefully putting my clothes on, I held my shoes so they didn't show that I'd been in the woods.

I walked slowly out of the forest, suddenly realising how far I'd come in such a short time. The school was just viable now. As I neared the edge I put on my shoes and socks. I heard the bell ring, I panicked. Crap, gotta get there now! Before she leaves.

I ran round to the side of the school in case I was spotted; I shoved my hands into my pockets and walked casually into the parking lot.

Waiata strode past, walking purposefully toward Brad and her truck. I stood slightly off to a distance and listened.

"Hey," Wai said, she sounded upset.

Ha maybe she doesn't like him anymore! I smiled at the thought.

"What's wrong?" Brad said putting his hand under her chin, I stifled a growl and clenched my fists. My body was twitching, but I was determined not to phase again.

"Her"

"Damn it stupid cow," Brad muttered. "What'd she say this time?"

Wai frowned, looking adorably as she did it. "She was all like, 'why can't you be happy with Paul, instead of taking Brad as well.'"

I smirked, so people think she's dating me, sweet.

Brad sighed letting her go, "Paul?"

Yeah that's right, Paul!

She nodded, "Yeah, I mean come on! Where the hell would she get an idea like that?"

I clenched my jaw; they'd get that idea, because they SHOULD! But apparently Brad doesn't understand that! That's it I can't take it anymore.

I began to walk toward them.

"Speak of the devil" Brad grumbled.

Waiata looked up and saw me; she scowled and looked back at Brad.

"Oh my gosh! Sorry about this Brad."

I approached cautiously, restraining myself from ripping Brad's throat out.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Um, sure."

"Privately."

Wai looked at Brad; "Do you mind?" She asked, don't ask that low life piece of scum if he minds!

He shrugged "I'll catch up with you tomorrow or I'll call you okay?"

"Okay," She pecked his cheek, "See ya."

I twitched, clenching my jaw, and making my hands into tight fists.

"So what'd you wanna talk 'bout?" She asked.

I looked down at my shoes for a moment, "Um, I..."

She raised her eyebrows; "Come on spit it out!"

"Ah, are you dating Brad?" I asked carefully.

She frowned, that adorable frown again. "Well, yeah I guess. Why?" She said narrowing her eyes suspiciously.

"Well, um. I don't want you to date him" I mumbled.

She stepped closer to me; I could feel my heart pounding.

"And why is that!" She snapped.

I blinked, shocked by her reaction, "Because, I don't trust him" I blurted out, shit, you've gone and done it now!

She glared at me, "And what! You trust you! Is that it? You want me to go out with you!"

I looked at her sheepishly, and nodded.

She shoved me with all her strength, still not managing to knock me at all.

"Well keep dreaming! I'm not your girlfriend, and I'm not for you to protect either!"

She got into her truck, slamming the door. The radio pounded inside the truck, she revved the engine as the tore out of the parking lot. I watched her leave, still standing in the same place. I kicked at a stone on the ground furiously, sending it flying across the lot.

"But you are for me to protect," I whispered.

The rain picked up it's pace, drenching me through to the bone. I knew I was crying, but no one would see. The rain was my mask for now.

I ran through the rain, heading toward Sam's house. A car pulled up beside me, I glanced at the car for a moment realising it was one of the girls from school.

"Do you want a ride?" She asked smiling at me.

I shook my head, "Nah, I'm fine."

She frowned, "Why? You'll just get sick in the rain."

I shook my head, "I won't, I promise."

She huffed, "No, you'll get sick it's cold out" She insisted.

I stopped running, "No, okay. I said NO!"

She scowled at me, "Well then, that girl that your chasing has the right idea. Staying away from you seems more rational now!"

She sped away and down the road.

"Dammit, now I'm gonna be labeled as some kind of physco!"

I ran faster, turning down the long driveway that led to Sam's house. I burst through the door, Emily jumped.

"God Paul, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" She said.

"Sorry" I mumbled, "Is Sam around?"

She shook her head; "He should be back in a few minutes. So what's the emergency?"

"Imprint" I said simply.

She nodded understandingly, "She'll come around, just give her some time."

"I hope so, cos if she doesn't I don't know how many times I can skip lunch and live," I said patting my rumbling stomach.

Emily grinned, "Help yourself, but don't complain if Sam beats you for eating all his food."

I grinned, "I'm sure I can handle him." I opened the fridge, taking most of its contents and spreading it out on the table.

I shoved the food into my mouth, swallowing quickly. I looked at the remains of wrappers and crumbs with satisfaction.

"Well, that was good. Got anything else to eat?"

Emily rolled her eyes, "Sam's gonna kill you" She said with a grin.

"I'm sure he will, but for now I'm hungry!"

She pushed a basket of fruit at me.

"Fruit! Really? Don't you have like steak or something?" I whined.

"Yes I do, but your not allowed it" She said with a smirk.

"Fine" I grumbled, shoving the fruit into my mouth.

Sam walked through the door; "I'm home" He called.

His eyes flickered as he looked at me; "You're eating my food again!"

"No" I said through a mouthful.

"Uh huh, sure that's why all of the food we bought yesterday is now empty packets all over the floor" He said scowling at me.

I held up my hands in surrender, "Fine you caught me, I really need to learn to hide the evidence."

He glared at me, "Cough up the money!" He said holing out his hand.

"I don't have any, but would a heart felt apology do?"

Sam smacked the back of my head, "Useless puppy," He said chuckling lightly.

I rubbed the back of my head, "Ow."

"So how'd it go?" He asked sitting on the sofa opposite me.

I groaned, "Terrible."

"Did you phase again?"

I shook my head, "Only when I saw them in the cafeteria."

He nodded, "Well then, we're going to need a master plan."

My eyes lit up, "Master plan?"

"Yup, we need to work out how you can spend as much time with her as possible. And get rid of the other guy."

"I like the sound of the last bit especially, can I dispose of him?"

Sam glared at me; "We're not 'disposing of him' okay."

I pouted, "But,"

Sam cut me off, "No! We are going to catch him out, doing something that Waiata doesn't like."

"So no assassins then?"

Sam growled at me, "Paul."

I held my hands up in surrender, "Okay I'll be serious now."

We spent the evening planning and plotting. I smiled as I walked home. Things are going to change.

Hope you can handle our tactics Brad, Waiata here I come.

I grinned.
