Sorry it took me so long....internet was out...someone went on the comuter and decided to accidentally unplug the conection. Lamo. lol.

Payton's POV

I was on cloud nine, nothing could put me down right now, not even the phone call I had gotten this morning. It was insignificant next to Paul and I back together. How could a man have such an effect on me? Well there was the fact that he was my imprint, my soul mate. I didn't want or think of being with anyone other than him and his stubborn ass. If I had known he felt that way I would have told him I was in love with him but with the way he reacted to me I thought he didn't love me. I guess we were both stupid to think that we didn't love each other.

I hate that bitch Lindsey! How could she insinuate sleeping with Paul when all they did was kiss. How messed up is she? Wait, I'm talking about Lindsey here, she's a sleazy snake. I should have expected something like this from her. Why did I let her get to me?

I could tell that she was glad she hit one of my buttons. She was smiling when I left the room. Thank goodness Quil got me out of there or I would have jumped both the teacher and Lindsey. But if I hadn't of let her get to me like that I wouldn't happily know Paul and me were back together.

Ow! Damn branch hit my face. I was almost home and I knew I had to hurry if I wanted to make it to my next class, which so happens to be with Paul.

Paul. I loved not hiding my thoughts of him. It didn't matter if there was anyone else that was wolf at this moment, they could hear that I was in love with him. It felt good to finally be able to think it.

How is everyone else going to react to our reunion? I knew Jacob was going to give him a hard time, for sure, the others…. I wasn't so sure.

Making sure there was no one around, I jumped into my window, which I keep open just incase I need to get inside. I grabbed a pair of jeans, underwear, a bra, a shirt socks, shoes, and a sweater. I dressed fast and was about to go out the window again when I remembered that I was going to have to phase.

I went downstairs to grab a bag to put my clothes in, I'd have to carry it in my mouth, it would be annoying but I could handle it. I undressed and put my clothes in the bag and the bag in my mouth, and then I went to school.

I chose a tree that was somewhat big enough to shield my naked form from anyonespecifically someone in the packthat could by close by. Once I had everything on and wasn't about to give anyone the flash of their life I walked away from the tree and started heading back to school.

I would be able to make it to the middle of second period. I knew Mr. Stickupmyass P.E. teacher was going to have fun picking on me today, goody! Sometimes being a wolf sucks ass, when I was human the worst thing that would happen when I got mad was giving someone a black eye or a broken nose, now that I was a wolf I could kill someone while in the mean time exposing the news that there was such things as werewolves. Oh yeah the scientists would just love that.

They'd run tests on us and prick us with needles. Oh joy! That's the only thing that saved that worthless teachers' ass.

I went into the dressing rooms and changed into my uncomfortable P.E. clothes, I say they're uncomfortable because one, they are, and two, the school doesn't care enough about the comfort of its students to actually add a couple more bucks to the pot in order to get us some gosh darn P.E. clothes that don't actually itch when you put them on.

After getting into the itchy-as-hell clothes I went outside too find where the rest of my class was. I scanned the area and found my little group of classmates doing push-ups. I walked over to my usual spot, by a skinny little kid with glasses, and started to do it with them. That's when I heard the sound of running shoes crunching the gravel coming my way. And here he comes.

"Tanner." I looked up but kept dong my push-ups with everyone else, you stop and they all start to protest. "What, you up and decided it was time you show up to P.E.?"

"Well I thought…gee, why don't I go to P.E. so I can see my teachers bright and shiny face when I get there."

"That smart mouth is going to get you into a lot of trouble if you don't learn how to shut it." I felt someone staring at me and I turned my eyes a bit to see Paul and the guys staring at me, watching the confrontation between student and teacher. I knew they could hear all that was being said.

"Yeah well I can handle the heat if I have to." Wrong thing to say to him, with his big pride in the way. We were done with push-ups and I was about to get up when I felt a shoe stop me from getting up all the way.

"You still got thirty to go, Tanner."

"Bullshit! We never do more than twenty!"

"Well I figured you could use the extra." Is he calling me fat? I was never fat, not a stick but healthy, when I started to phase most of the areas that were soft turned to muscle. I looked over at the pack that had P.E. the same time I did and found that Seth and Jared were each holding Paul's arms. I gave Paul a mischievous smile.

"Yeah well it wouldn't hurt you to do a few with me." I heard a few of them snicker at that and had to smile, I knew the teacher's eyes were probably bulging at that.

"Think you funny, do ya?"

I smiled a little. "Maybe a little," I put my thumb and forefinger together. More giggles.

"Well since you think you're so funny why don't you take you and your jokes for a lap around the school?" I stood and saw that he was smiling, so I had to say it. "Anything to get away from your fat ass!" Then I took off to begin my lap around the school.

The look on his face was priceless! If only I had a camera handy. Then I'd be able to post it up on the school website for everyone to see! Well at least my class saw that he isn't some almighty being that can't be touched. Everyone was always talking about if you were late to his class he'd get mad and make you run around the school, which I'm doing now but I don't find it that bad, well I was on the track team at my old school so I guess to someone who wasn't a runner it was hell.

I heard someone running up behind me. I turned to look and saw Paul. My heart did that skip a beat thing and betrayed me 'cause I knew Paul could hear it. He gave me his million-dollar smile and jogged up to my side.

"What are you doing here, you get into trouble too?"

"Ha, no just wanted to keep you company is all." I nodded and decided we could walk.

"So, I'm going to ask Sam it I could help patrol." I wasn't sure how he would react but I had to let him know. I knew he was protective but I needed to help out.

"Payton," he looked at me, "I don't want you to do the patrol."

I knew but I decided to ask anyway. "Why?"

"You could get hurt."

I snorted. "I'm a wolf, I'll live."

"I don't like to see you get hurt and you take longer to heal."

"No shit Sherlock! How'd you know?" I smiled and he gave me a lopsided grin.

"You know what I mean." He play pushed me and I regained my balance.

"Hey, watch the merchandise," I said while dusting off my shoulders.

"Oh but you'll live, remember?"

"Paul, I know you don't want anything to happen to me but I have to do something for the pack, and don't you dare say cook, I know that's what Emily doesand I have nothing against her for doing itbut she's not a werewolf like me. I'm not the type to listen to anyone, I do what I want, and I'm not on some leash, Paul. Plus, I like hanging with the guys and listening to their dumb girl/imprinting problems, if they were to get into some sort of trouble I wouldn't want to be in the kitchen making them something to eat, I'd want to be there with them, fighting with them."

"Well okay, wonder woman. Go ahead and ask Sam, I don't like this idea, at all, but if it makes you happy…Just know that if you get hurt I'll be there to say I told you so."

I gasped. "So your saying that if I were to get hurt you'd be there pointing your finger at me and saying, I quote, 'I told you so'?"

"Yup." I tripped him and it actually worked, I don't think he was expecting me to do it. I took off running and he was up and chasing me. I had to get to lunch. I couldn't wait to visit the Cullen's; I had a date with a vampire that liked to play tricks on people. I had to get Paul's ass back…what? You didn't think he was getting off that easy, did you?

What do you think she's going to do???

Tell me what you think??

lovee ya all...and thanks for all the reviews!! I'm about to hit a hundred!!YAY!!!

As always...leave me some lovin...
