I had fallen asleep again. It felt nice to be near Seth and talking to him again. Seth didn't move an inch once I fell asleep in his arms. I'm not sure how long I was out for this time, but it looked like it was still day time outside. I wondered what time it was. Once I was awake enough to check, I looked at the screen on my phone.

I was shocked to see that it was nearly seven thirty in the morning. I was going to be late for school and so was Seth. I ran around finding clothes that would be decent enough to wear today. I just threw my hair into a pony tail. Seth woke up after I had changed and rubbed his eyes.

"What time is it?" Seth asked through his yawn.

"Seth it's seven forty-five! We are going to be late for school!" I said as I ran around getting my school stuff.

Seth came over and helped me get my things into my backpack. I realized he wasn't freaking out. Why was he not freaking out? I knew I wasn't crazy. We did have school today and we were going to get in trouble if we didn't get there soon.

"You ready to go?" Seth said with his warm smile.

I nodded. "I'm ready."

Seth grabbed my hand and walked downstairs with me. I told mom I was heading out for school. She hugged me before I left with Seth. She smiled and told him goodbye. I smiled and went along with Seth. It was nice to walk with him to school.

When we got there, people stared at us. It was a little weird to be stared at. We had went to class like normal. It was boring and driving me nuts today for some reason. I couldn't wait to get to lunch and talk with Seth. I didn't care if the guys listened in or not. In fact, I didn't care if they even made fun of me. I just needed to have Seth's sunny disposition close so I didn't lose my mind.

When it was finally time to go lunch I was happy. I got a tray of food. Which wasn't much. I wasn't really hungry, but I managed to get an apple and some milk. I looked around the room to find Seth. When I noticed him sitting at his usual table, it looked like the guys were teasing him about something.

I wanted to take up for Seth if they were being mean to him. It was hard to watch him get picked on for being one of the youngest in the group. I walked over and was trying to find out what they were teasing Seth about. I only hoped everyone could keep their tempers under control. Especially myself.

"Hey Brittlyn. Heard you and Seth here made up." Paul said.

"Yeah we made up." I said.

"You guys must've had a good time if Seth was blowing us off." Paul kept on.

"Sure I guess. He came over to spend some time with me yesterday. He ended up falling asleep with me in his arms. He helped me to warm up any way." I said as I took a bite out of the apple I had gotten.

Paul let out a loud laugh. It hurt my ears for a second. I looked up to Paul for a second. I had to wonder why he was laughing. No one else was. What I said wasn't even that funny. I looked at Seth with a very confused expression. I wanted to ask what was so funny to Paul, but something about Seth seemed to tell me not to.

"Seth kept you warm and is wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday. I didn't think he could convince you to be this loose this soon." Paul said before chuckling at us.

I suddenly felt furious. Not because of what Paul was implying about me, but because of what he was saying about Seth. I knew Seth wouldn't do that. He wouldn't be like Paul and try to get me to sleep with him. I took my tray and hit Paul in the head with it. I wasn't trying to hit him very hard. But I must've hit him harder than I thought or took him by surprise. He fell over like a ton of bricks after my tray hit him square in the eye.

"Fuck off Paul!" I yelled at him. "Seth wouldn't be like you in that way and you know it!"

I stormed off. I grabbed my bag on the way and started walking in the direction of my next class. I was so pissed that I couldn't see straight. It was hard to focus with what happened buzzing around in my head like a swarm of bees.

I had finally got myself calmed down enough before classes started up again. Normally I had this class with Seth, but he wasn't there. He must've been talking to Paul or went home early or something. It was a long rest of the day without him. When I left school and started walking home. Some of the guys that Seth hung out with were waiting for me.

At the front of the group was Sam. He looked angry. I wasn't sure what he had to mad about or what it had to do with me, but I was going to try and help him if I could. I didn't pay too much attention to the other guys who were there. When I got closer I noticed Paul was surrounded by three other guys. Embry, Quil and Jacob. I wondered what was going on.

"Brittlyn, we need to talk." Sam said authoritatively.

"About what? Is Seth ok?" I asked, trying to keep myself under control.

Sam nodded.

"Everything is now, but you caused a problem today at school from what I understand." Sam said.

I thought back over the day. I walked myself through the events of the day. When I finally remembered what happened at lunch, I felt a bit angry. Then I remembered how Paul always was. I started feeling guilty then. I looked down for a moment and then back up to Sam.

"Yeah I guess I kind of did cause a problem at school today. It wasn't intentional and I will take part of them blame for it." I said, before looking around to stare at Paul for a moment.

"I appreciate that you are willing to take some responsibility for this. Paul has something he'd like to say to you." Sam said.

Sam stepped to the side, allowing Paul to walk forward. Paul looked down then looked up at me. He had this boyish charm to his face that didn't even begin to compare to what Seth face has looked like. I looked at Paul and waited for him to speak.

"Brittlyn I'm sorry about what I said at lunch. I realize now that it was uncalled for. I should respect your boundaries a little more. I hope you can forgive me." Paul finally spoke.

I smiled at him. I could tell Paul was wanting to do this. It made me feel nice that he was so willing to apologize for his mistake. I took a step towards Paul and hugged him. I felt one of his warm arms wrap around me. I took a step back after that.

"Thanks Paul. I really appreciate that. I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have thrown my lunch tray and cursed at you. Can you forgive me?" I asked.

Paul smiled and rubbed my hair. "Sure I can kid. You're still young and learning. You aren't half bad either."

I smiled. Then I looked back to Sam and decided to ask a question.

"Where is Seth at? I missed him today after lunch. Is he feeling ok?" I asked him.

"Seth is fine. He was pretty fired up about what happened at lunch. He wanted me to tell you he'd check in with you, but he wasn't sure when it'd be." Sam told me.

I was worried about Seth. I was almost certain he'd be in his wolf form. I'm sure he'd be in the woods and would be staying out of sight of any hikers. It worried me that he wouldn't get to come over again tonight and I would miss him greatly.

"Sam? Can you give Seth a message for me? I'm sure you'd be able to reach him better than I could right now." I asked.

Sam nodded and was ready to head off into the woods with my message.
