Scarlett POV

Seth lifted me into his truck, carefully. I waved lightly when I saw Quil and a girl I'd never met before. She was ridiculously pretty. She had long, black curls, big brown eyes, full lips and tanned skin.

Fricken Quileutes.

"Hi." I murmured.

"Hey!" Quil grinned, leaning forward on the seats. "This, Scar, is my oldest admirer-"

"Quil." She glared at him. Seth jumped into the other side of the truck.

"Hi, I'm Scarlett." I stuck my hand out. She just looked at it. I glanced down to see the hand with a cast on it.

"Carmen." She smiled a seemingly perfect smile with bright teeth that all fell straight. And here I am with overlapping canines that even braces couldn't fix and a nose too small for my face.

Sigh.

"So, what d'ya do? Get hit by a bus, or something?" She asked, smirking, looking up and down me.

"Bear attack, you know, the usual." I said, nonchalantly. She chuckled and nodded, then turned to stare out the window.

"So, how do you two know each other?"

"Our dad's grew up together, but he went to California..."

"Where he met my mom..."

"And they've pretty much always been friends..."

"And Quilly used to come and visit every summer, but for the past two years, he's been missing." She folded her arms and glared at him. He chuckled at her then pushed her arm lightly.

"Work stuff." He murmured. I nodded. Obviously since he turned wolf, he couldn't leave the Pack to go to LA.

"Where abouts in California did you come from?" I asked.

"San Diego." She smiled at the memory.

"So, you leave one of the hottest states to come to the rainiest?" I chuckled.

"Yeah." She frowned and turned her head back to the window.

For god's sake, Scarlett. You've known her, what? Ten minutes? Yet, you've already offended her!

What can I say? It's a gift.

When I walked into school, Seth's arm locked around my waist, mostly preventing me from falling flat on my face and probably dying or something. I couldn't believe how many people were staring at me.

"Look at her broken arm."

"She can barely walk usually, check her out now."

"I think I can see where the scar is on her neck. EW!"

It was never up to my neck, so I had a pretty good chuckle at that one.

He left me to go to homeroom, and I nearly died three times trying to get to my seat. Lexi stood up and helped me. Logan's desk was still empty.

"Did you meet the new girl, yet?" Lexi asked, leaning to me. I nodded. "Quil's friend, or something?"

"Yeah?"

She glanced around, as if someone was listening intently- not that Lexi would even care.

"She's the new school slut!"

"She's been here two days-"

"She had sex with Logan-"

"Our Logan?"

"Of course." She rolled her eyes. "Anyway, she slept with him on Friday night, the day she got to Forks- if that's not slut, what is?"

"How do you even know that?" I asked. She hadn't seemed too 'slutty'.

"Collin being Collin was thinking about how hot she was when Brady and Logan were out training, or whatever, last night. Logan said he met her on Friday... Collin's pretty upset..."

"Collin and Brady friends yet?" I asked. I hoped they were. They used to be Collin and Brady, the definition of friendship, since the Lexi incident, they'd barely spoken.

"Well... I think they're... getting there."

"Yay!" I cheered, ignoring the looks from the bitches around the room (that includes you, Mrs June).

"So, we're all going to Emily's tonight, right?" Quil asked, turning around in English. I nodded and went back to doodling on my notebook with my good hand.

"Don't be nervous." Seth reached across to rub my arm.

"I'm not..." I frowned and dropped the pen.

I'd lied to my teacher and told her I was right handed (where my wrist was broken) so that I didn't have to make notes.

And because she forced Quil to do it instead and that was hilarious.

"What'd you think of Carmen?" Quil asked, now sitting sideways to talk to us.

School slut, or Quil's best friend? Hmm...

"She seems... nice." I said, unsure of that opinion. He raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing me.

"You've heard, I see." He said, his face totally blank. I nodded, shyly. He frowned, but quickly went back to the blank expression. "She's... a little... unconventional?"

"She's still nice." Seth smiled, trying to improve the mood.

"Clearwater, Ateara, Hunter, eyes front."

I made it through two classes before I had Spanish.

Alone.

Collin and Brady waved to me, before going back to having a conversation. I smiled as I limped to my seat. It was nice that they were back to being themselves again. I always liked them better as a pair.

I sat in my seat and put my backpack on the chair beside me. Having joint tables was awesome in every class, Spanish included. Just because I was alone, didn't mean it wasn't awesome. I got extra space and a chair for my bag and-

"Scarlett, right?" I turned my head to see Carmen pulling out the chair. I was about to grab my backpack, when she picked it up and dropped it on the floor, sitting down.

"Yeah... Carmen?" I smiled at her, moving my backpack so it wasn't in her way.

Not that she probably wouldn't have done it herself...

"So, you and that Seth-guy?" She asked, an eyebrow raised. I nodded. She raised both of her eyebrows in shock.

"Yeah, why?"

"Just, he seems really into you." She put a big over sized bag on the desk. It was like the one Alice insisted all the Cullen's carry around because they were stylish. She lay back in her seat and closed her eyes.

"I guess..."

"What's he like in bed?" She leaned forward again, clearly very interested in this topic. I stuttered and stammered, caught off guard. "Ooo, virgin-alert."

I couldn't stop it. I did try. I honestly did.

"Bitch."

Her jaw dropped in shock, but her eyes smiled.

"I like you." She said, as if this was some sort of honor for me. When she went back to writing the notes from the board, I suddenly realized.

She's Paul.

Carmen was half-Latina, half-Quileute, and amazing at Spanish. She was my Spanish-Nessie, I decided. I was now sitting next to Real-Nessie (or Biology-Nessie, if you prefer).

"And then she kissed him." I told her the latest TV news while she wrote out the answers to what she saw through the microscope.

"So, they're dating?" She responded, but she probably had no real interest in it.

"Well, that's the thing, we don't know!" I threw my hands up in enthusiasm, hitting a model-DNA and pulling it down from where it had hung in place from the ceiling. Oops. Nessie glanced at me and smirked.

"So, did you meet Carmen?" She asked, changing the subject. I nodded and she went back to looking through the microscope. "I bet you like her."

"Excuse me?" I feigned offense.

"Well, she talks about sex a lot... so do you."

"What?!" I scoffed. What was with everyone assuming I'm some sort of sex addict?! Did I give out a vibe or something?

"Hmm." She hummed in that stupid, perfect voice before chuckling, lightly. I frowned and threw pieces of the broken DNA model at her. "How old are you?"

"Older than you." I grinned. She stuck her tongue out before going back to our Bio work.

"I mean, come on. Look at us, we're always gonna be hot." Paul told us about how lucky he and Rachel were to have each other. I rolled my eyes, shoving three gummy worms in my mouth.

"So, you're all coming tonight?" I asked. Everyone nodded. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad. I wanted the moral support, but I didn't want them meeting the three freaks I had coming to Emily's house tonight.

"I'll be late." Brady said.

"And I have to leave early." Jared told me. I nodded. Fricken patrol.

"And Embry and Logan are coming." Jacob said, quickly. Everyone looked at him. "Logan has to be around people..."

"The kid'll ruin it." Quil whined. I laughed. He seriously disliked being related to him and I'm sure his sexual relations with Carmen hadn't helped. He suddenly put his hand up and waved. I turned to see Carmen walk into the cafeteria. She waved back, before walking and sitting at the empty table Logan, Lexi and I used to sit together at.

"Why isn't she sitting with us?" I asked.

"She sat there yesterday." Lexi said.

"Yeah, we told her to come over yesterday when we were sitting with the leeches and she said some pretty inappropriate stuff." Paul smirked. Nessie frowned.

"She said she didn't like the looks they were giving her and Nessie creeped her out." Quil said, sheepishly. Nessie's jaw dropped. "She says you're like a little girl-doll and she finds you creepy. Sorry."

They got into a mini-argument over how creepy Nessie was. I turned and waved to her. She waved back, slightly, before grabbing her phone. I turned back to the table just in time to hear that all wolves were 'disgusting pig-creatures who have no sense of decency'. Sounds more like a Rose-quote if you ask me.

"Do you have to meet my dad?" I asked Seth. He grinned.

"Of course! I have to find the man who helped make the greatest girl ever!" He kissed my cheek and I rolled my eyes at his corniness.

"You're embarrassing." I stuck my tongue out at him and he pretended to gasp. I pushed him, but he didn't move. He laughed at my attempt and grabbed my hand.

"To Chemistry?"

"Ew."

"I've never been good at Chemistry!" I yelled to my mother. I was in my bathroom, getting ready to shower, while she sat on my bed and lectured me about school.

"Alright, alright!" She shouted back. "I'm taking you to Emily's in two hours. Hurry up!"

I heard my bedroom door close. I got in the shower and took the time to use one of the scented soaps and shampoos that I'd been given as gifts over the years. I wanted to make a good impression on my family. I didn't know why... I never really cared about what they thought. I lived with Mom and I was happier being her loser-daughter than trying to be like Skylar.

I changed the bandage without looking at the scar... I couldn't look at it. I wrapped myself tightly in a towel and walked through to my room.

I blow dried my hair to make it fluffy and soft and noticed how long it was getting. Maybe I'd grow long hair... Seth'd like it no matter what I did... I could shave my head and he'd think I was hotter than Megan Fox.

Aw, imprinting... THANK YOU!

I pulled on the dress that Nessie had let me borrow- a white sundress with a lace covering that hit my knees, went up to my neck and had sleeves. I liked it, and everything, but I wasn't looking forward to having to avoid any sort of spills- I am a klutz. I put flower clips in my hair and applied chapstick. Anything to look sweet and innocent.

That was why I was borrowing Nessie's dress. I had to look virginal and childlike, especially if he was meeting my super hot boyfriend that I was having ridiculously un-virginal thoughts about, lately.

"Scarlett! Ten minutes!" I grabbed a blue cardigan and pulled it on, shoving my phone in the pocket. I pulled on white flats and limped down the stairs.

Mom looked me up and down, her eyes wide.

"Who the hell are you, and what have you done with Scarlett?" She joked. I stuck my tongue out at her and opened the front door. She grabbed her keys and held my hand to her car.

"Are you sure you can't stay?" Emily asked my mom as we walked into the living room.

"Sorry, I'm spending a nice night in Port Angeles."

"She has a date." I rolled my eyes. She blushed. I was definitely my mother's daughter.

One mention of a guy we like and we go all tomato-y.

"Woah." Paul grinned and gave me a thumbs up, then walked over and pulled Rachel into a... passionate kiss.

"Paul! Rachel!" Emily scolded. "You will not do that this evening!"

"Scarlett?" I heard Seth yell and walk through from the kitchen. He stopped in the doorway and looked at me, his eyes wide.

Oh god. I look like a baby, don't I? He isn't Quil. He doesn't go for that!

Well, I think I'm funny.

"Seth, you're drooling." Leah laughed, slapping his face lightly as she walked passed.

"Well, I'll see you later, love you." Mom pulled me into a hug and kissed my cheek. She went to open the front door, but instead, was hit in the face by the door being pushed open.

Definitely my mother's daughter.

"Sorry." Embry muttered as he walked passed. His eyes widened why he saw me, too. Mom rubbed her head as she held the door open to leave. The wind blew her hair into my mouth and made me skirt go up. I blushed and tried to push it down, punching my legs with my cast by accident.

"Sorry..." She murmured. "Love you." She closed the door. I turned around and screamed slightly when Paul was standing directly in front of me.

"Your mom is doing my dad." He grunted.

"What?"

"That's why I smelled you in my house. It was her." He said, his voice filled with disgust. I was too focused on the way he was talking about my mother to realize what he was actually taking about.

"Paul, sweetie." Rachel walked over and put her hands on his shoulders. He calmed instantly, smiling as he turned around to kiss her... passionately, again.

"Paul!" Emily scolded again.

"Seth!" I said, happily, throwing my arms out.

I decided to make him come to me, instead of hopping over, but he didn't respond. He just kept staring. I frowned and put me arms down. I screamed when arms picked me up from behind and carried me over to the couch, sitting me down. They sat down next to me.

"So, is your sister hot?" Collin asked. I rolled my eyes.

"She's fourteen."

"A hot fourteen?"

"And I'm the princess and I get to tell you what to do because I'm the princess and I tell people what to do!" I looked to the door to see Quil carrying Claire through. Emily's jaw dropped.

"You brought Claire? You didn't say you were bringing Claire!"

"Where did you think I went two hours ago?" He said, as if it were obvious. He carried her away to the kitchen so that they could 'steal candy'. Emily let out an exhausted sigh.

"You okay, Em?" I asked. She nodded, but her expression said differently. She hurried back into the kitchen, pulling the still-frozen-Seth in to help her. I rested my head on Collin's shoulder and let my eyes close.

There was a knock on the door.

And so it begins.

"Sam!" I heard Emily yell, unnecessarily. Her voice was flustered and stressed. He came into the room, quickly. He opened it, grinning.

"Hello, I'm Sam Uley, welcome to our home." He opened the door and they came inside. I didn't miss the gasps that came from Skylar and Ally when they saw the Pack.

Dad was in an expensive suit. Skylar was wearing a green dress and high heels that made her even taller than me and a lot of makeup. Ally was wearing too-short, too-tight, too-skin showing black dress, high heels and more makeup than Skylar (if possible). Collin helped me up and walk over to them.

"Rivers Hunter, this is my daughter, Skylar and my girlfriend, Ally." Dad said, smoothly.

"Hi." I smiled and waved a little bit.

"I'll show you to the kitchen to meet my fiancee, Emily." Sam smiled. Dad and Ally followed him to the kitchen.

Skylar squealed and hugged me. When she pulled away, I turned to introduce her to Collin to see that he was frozen, staring at her with wide eyes.

"Collin! No! Not my baby sister!" I whined. She looked curiously at me. Collin broke into laughter and nudged me.

"Nah, I'm just kidding. She is hot, though." He turned and walked to the kitchen. I rolled my eyes, but was relieved.

I couldn't handle Skylar being here forever.

"Introduce me to the hot guys?" She whispered. Embry laughed from the couch. I glared at him, to see him looking longingly at Skylar.

"Embry!" I yelled, angrily. He broke his gaze and laughed again.

Sigh.

We walked into the kitchen to see Ally and Dad standing frozen, their eyes wide with shock. We walked further in, slowly, and Skylar gasped. I turned to see her looking at Emily. She didn't seem affected by it.

"So, Dad, what do you think of Washington?"

"It's... nice." He lied. I rolled my eyes.

"Is the place you're staying any good?" Sam asked, helping Emily with part of the dinner.

"The hotel is... nice." Ally lied.

"Have you been to the stores in Port Angeles?" Emily asked Skylar, hopefully.

"They're... nice." She lied. I rolled my eyes again and walked to the kitchen table where Leah, Seth, Quil, Claire and Collin sat. I sat next to Seth, a spare seat beside me.

"Hey." I smiled. He smiled, nervously and leaned away from me. I frowned and stood up, walking back over to my parents. "Dad, this is Seth." I pulled him over.

"Yes, we've met." Dad nodded to him. Seth smiled the nervous awkward smile again, but I couldn't help but grin.

Yes! Seth's already told Dad we're dating and now he's only acting weird because Dad probably told him he's not good enough or something, but who cares?! I don't value his opinion enough to-

"It's nice that you've made so many friends."

Friends.

Friends.

FRIENDS.

"Dinner!" Emily yelled, cheerily.

"Come on, Scar." Dad said, motioning to the table, then his eyes widened. "I... uh... I... Lett, uh, Scar-lett!"

I got the sarcasm of my mother and the social awkwardness from my father, only, I had both and no charm.

Sigh.

"Sit, Scarlett." Dad grinned. I rolled my eyes and sat down.

I sat at the table, Seth to my right, then it went; Leah, Quil, Claire, Emily, Sam, a spare seat, Jared, Kim, Lexi, a spare seat, Paul, Rachel, Embry, Collin, Skylar, Ally, Dad, and then it was me again. The Pack were fighting for food and eating like, well, wolves.

"Scarlett, how's school?" Dad asked, watching Jared steal food from Lexi's plate every time she looked at the door, waiting for Brady.

"It's fine." I didn't mean to snap, but it seemed like Seth was just ignoring me completely now, and that was pissing me off. The door opened and Lexi started squealing, only to stop and frown.

"Hey, guys!" Logan came in and went to sit with Lexi, she scoffed and shooed him away with her hand. He rolled his eyes and sat between Jared and Sam. He was almost directly opposite me. He watched me, intently.

"You okay?" Sam asked, giving him a look that said 'dude, if you phase right here then Emily's gonna kill you'. He nodded, turning his head back to look at me.

"Here, kid, saved you some food." Jared gave him a small bread plate of food. Quil shot him a glare, before going back to fawning over Claire, who was playing with her food.

"Scarlett, how's your mother?" Dad asked, watching Quil wipe food from Claire's forehead.

"She's awesome." Paul growled. Dad looked at him curiously, then glanced between us. My eyes narrowed.

"Yeah, she is." I glared at him. He glared back. "She has a boyfriend." I smirked. Paul smacked his hand against the table, causing most of us to jump.

"Paul." Sam warned.

"So, um, where's Jacob?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"He's with Nessie- she's alone, the Cullen's are at dinner." Embry said, stuffing more food into his mouth. I nodded, but inside I was freaking out.

I'd just gotten back to normal with Nessie... I forgot they were all bloodsucking creeps...

Everyone was finished eating and there was no more food left. Emily began to collect the plates, rejecting any offers of help from anyone.

"Where's Brady?!" Lexi yelled, frustrated. She sounded like she'd been holding it in for a while. "Wilms, you were just out there! Where the hell is he?"

We all looked at Logan, waiting for an answer, but he was much too busy staring at me.

"Dude, quit staring at me." I rolled my eyes.

"I... can't."

"Leave me alone." I whined. He shook his head.

"What the hell is going on?" Seth finally spoke up, but he was angry.

Geez, you don't speak for a month and then you're suddenly pissed?

I love you.

You're pathetic.

Yeah.

"I... Scarlett, I imprinted on you." Logan said, seriously.

Thanks for reading! Again, hope it's satisfactory!

I'll post the new story with the new character, Carmen, soon. It'll have more details about her and Quil, her encounter with About-To-Phase-Logan, and some other classes, along with her imprint! It's not unnecessary to read it to follow this story (vise-versa), but she will be included in this story later!

Thanks! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Again, LOVE YOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX
