SM owns Twilight.
Carlie's first week was a success. For her. She made tons of friends, and, by Friday, she was the most popular student in this hell hole. That only made her more desirable to Cook, and the rest of the male population.
I would walk down the halls hearing guys talk about my girls' ass. I came close to phasing a few times. One time I listened to a guy tell his friend that her fucked her in his car the pervious night, which I knew was completely false due to the fact that I followed her home and watched her, in a non-creepy way, do her homework and play piano until she went to bed.
In class, I would grudgingly watch Cook flirt with her, and, mush to my dismay, her flirt back. But Carlie seemed to be having a normal time in high school. Which was good, I wanted her to live before I dumped the wolf stuff on her.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. She seemed happy with Cook. Damn it.
During homeroom I did my best to get her to actually like me, like as a friend…or more. Carlie was really outgoing, so it was easy. She still treated me as a teacher of course.
On Saturday she and Cook had they date. And, lucky for me, Cook happened to take her to the restaurant Leah worked at. She hooked me up and sat them in a really noisy, crowded place.
"And here you are. So are you two brother and sister?" she asked with a smile on her face. I laughed from my hiding spot, in a booth just around the corner.
Carlie frowned. Cook smirked. Oh, so he though Leah was hitting on him. Prick. "Um, no. Carlie and I are on a date."
Leah smiled, "Oh, well, I just assumed because she looks a little out of your league." Whoo! Go Leah!
Cook's cocky smile came off, "Can we just have our menus please?"
Leah laughed and threw one at him, then handed one to Carlie. "You kids don't happen to go to Lakeside high, do you?"
Carlie smiled, "Yeah, we do."
"Oh, than you must know my cousins, Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Call?"
Carlie smiled at the mention of my name. I could have exploded from joy. Cook frowned at my name. Good. I hope he's scared of me. "Oh! Yeah! Mr. Wolfe is our homeroom teacher!"
"Well that's cool." Leah said.
"Extreemly." Cook said dryly. "I'll have a coke. Carlie?"
I saw Leah smile a satisfied smile. It was a good day for her when she got to piss someone off. Carlie shot Cook a disapproving look and then looked up at Leah, "I'll have water."
"Comin' right up." Leah said as she walked away.
"So tell me about all of your travels." Cook said.
Carlie smiled. "Well, like I said, I don't know where I was born, my parents wont tell me for some reason. Which leads me to believe they were doing something illegal there, but I don't know. We moved to New York City, like, 3 days after I was born and stayed there for about a year."
"How was New York City? I've never been there."
I thought about giving him a plane ticket and telling him just to move there, but knowing my luck, he would convince her to go with him.
"I cant remember it well. But I know theres lots of shopping. My Aunt is really into fashion and stuff, so it was a good match for her. But not so much for my mom. She needed small town to get used to her new life." She said, before quickly adding, "New life as a mother."
"Right. So then where did you move?" he asked.
"Into a small villa in France, it was in the middle of nowhere, but it was so pretty!" Carlie talked about all the places she lived, Cook only interrupted when he had a dumbass question to ask.
Leah antagonized Cook for the entire date. He was pretty pissed by the time he paid the bill and left. I followed them, in my wolf form, to a small pond, it was surrounded by woods, so I could watch them closely.
They talked about music and shit. Carlie asked Cook about his family. Blah. Blah. Blah. Normal date shit.
Hows the date? Seth asked when he saw I was chaperoning it.
I would call it a fail. But that's because I know what I have planned for our first date is way better.
Seth ran up next to me. She looks content.
I growled softly. Shut up.
I'm just sayin'!
"Carlie, I have a lot of fun tonight, despite the bitch waitress," Cook began.
Way to go Leah! Seth laughed.
"and I was wondering if you would want to make it official?"
Carlie smiled, "Like you would be my boyfriend?" she asked in an adorable, innocent way.
Cook nodded, "So how about it? Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes." She answered.
Lucky bastard. I growled.
But its not meant to be. You'll get her in the end. Seth promised.
I couldn't reply because of the searing pain that was ripping through my chest as I watched Cook shove his nasty tongue down my imprint's throat.
Seth nudged me away. Lets go get drunk.
Seth, Embry and I ended up going to Leah's bar and getting pretty drunk. Embry left with some girl, I usually would have too, but now every girl was all blurry and smelled like ass.
When I woke up Sunday, I actually had a slight hangover, which is weird because werewolves don't usually get hangovers. I guess I drank a lot last night.
Embry strolled in smelling like sex at 10am. I gave him a dirty look. "Don't rub it in my face how you're getting some and I'm not! Its hard enough with out having to smell sex everywhere!"
He smirked and shrugged. Every Sunday was grocery shopping day. It was decided that it worked best if we all went and got food, rather than one person trying to get enough food for all of us. One person would have to push around about 6 shopping carts.
Seth, Leah, Embry, and I all piled into Seth's newly acquired astro van and headed to the grocery store.
"Shit. Some one's got a jaguar!" Embry exclaimed as he jumped out of the car and ran over to the glossy red jag. It was an XK coupe. Damn.
"Stop drooling over the damn car!" Leah snapped. "Lets just get his over with."
Seth, Embry and I pulled ourselves away from the jag and walked into the store.
Steel cables alerted me that she was in there. "She's in here."
Leah smiled. "I know. And I'm betting that that jag is her's."
"Why do you think that?" I asked.
Leah pointed across the store. "Because there she is in a pair of 200 dollar jeans, Uggs, and holding a Chanel purse. She screams Jag."
"Shit. I'm going to have to get a real job then, aren't I? To provide for her."
They burst out laughing. "Shit, man! Yeah you are! How are you going to be in league for a Jag?" Embry laughed.
I glared at them and started walking towards her. As I approached her, I overheard conversation between two of the stock boys. "Dude! I dared you! You have to!" one said.
The other sighed and ran over to Carlie. "Hey girl. You got one fine ass." He said in a rush before smacking her ass. My pack quieted down, they were worried I was going to phase.
No. I'd get them later for that.
But before the kid had a chance to get away, Carlie turned around and punched him square in the nose. I heard a crack. "Go to hell." She muttered before stepping over him. She started to walk away from him, sending her in my direction. When she met my eyes, her face reddened. "Oh god! No one was supposed to see that!"
I smiled. "No, its ok." I assured her.
"So I'm not going to get a detention or anything?" she joked.
"No, if you did that on school property, maybe, but not here."
She smiled broadly. "Oh! I met your other cousin last night, um, what was her name…?"
"Its Leah. Good to see to again." Leah butted in as Seth, Embry, and she came up behind me.
"Sorry, I'm no good with names." She apologized. "Hi Mr. Call."
"Hey Carlie." Embry greeted her with a smile on his face. "Oh, um this is our other cousin, Seth." He said after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence.
"Nice to meet you." She said politely.
"Nice to meet you too." Seth responded.
"Ok, well, I better go. I still have homework and stuff." She said.
"Right. Um, are we still having your confernce at your work tomorrow?" I asked as she started to walk away.
"Oh! Right! I totally forgot to tell you! My boss said it would be fine if you just stoped by at about 3 30. It should only take about 20 minutes, right?"
"Yeah. Probably less. So where do you work?"
Her face fell, "Um, I don't know the name…" she trailed off. No biggie, I could probably just follow her scent there. "Oh! But I have the address right here!" she said, digging in her purse and pulling out a slip of paper.
"Um. Ok then. See you tomorrow." I said as soon as she handed me the paper and started away.
"She's a keeper." Seth smirked as soon as she was out of the store. "Mean right hook."
"See, you don't have to constantly be around her, she can take care of herself." Embry said.
"But that guy didn't try to fight back." Leah said solonmly.
That made me panic. Now I really would have to follow her around constantly.
"Jake, you don't have to follow her around constantly." Seth said, reading my mind while he was in human form, "She's not a danger magnate like the last girl you cared about."
I frowned, "Well I defiantly don't care about Bella now." I growled and walked away to finish my shopping.
