Ok, so this chapter should be interestin :]

Away we go!

EPOV!

School was one of the most pointless places since I phased. I wouldn't need to go to college, so I didn't see the point in going anymore, but Mom would hound me if I dropped out. Another reason for needing to talk to her. But knowing Violet was going to be there, made school worth going to. Having to wake up early was one of the worst things about it. I drug myself out of bed, got into the shower, did my whole entire morning routine. I drove to school, taking as long as possible. I found Seth sitting in his truck, with Collin and Brady in the back. There were quite a few more wolves in the pack, since the big fight with the Volturi, and some had graduated with Jake and Quil, while others were only freshman. I casually walked over to Seth's car, and pushed him off of it. He fell forward, onto the ground but caught himself and stood up right before his nose touched the ground. He spun around and saw me, then he started to laugh. I chuckled with him, until I smelled something. Someone, to be more precise. I turned around, and saw Violet stepping out of a silver Nissan Altima. My heart sped up, and I felt slack, like if Seth blew on me I would fall over. Her eyes lifted from the ground and she searched, as if she knew I was near. Her eyes met mine, and that same connection I felt the day I met her, only it was stronger, and hit me harder.

"Violet." I heard myself whisper. She stepped towards me, her eyes locked with mine, letting me see into her soul. I heard snickering from behind me and, disappointedly, turned to see Brady, Collin, and Seth laughing. I turned back to Violet, and she was getting her bag out of her car. I grabbed the strap and took it from her.

"Here, let me get that for you." I said, putting the bag over my shoulder. Her lips turned up into a tiny smile. I shut the car door for her, and we walked into school together.

VPOV!

School was something I completely dreaded. I knew I was going to be the new kid, and these kids had grown up together. I was glad I knew some of the guys beforehand, so I wouldn't be completely alone. There was only one sad thing about it was I didn't know any girls that go here. That was one thing I was worried about. But Embry made my morning better, making me forget my worries. We compared schedules, and we had 2 out of 4 classes together. That made me happy, and I had 3 classes with Seth, which made me glad too. The bells rang, and I walked off to 1st period, which I didn't have with Seth or Embry. I walked into the room, seeing Quileute teenagers sitting at desks, talking to other kids. I sat down in a desk near the middle of the room, where I felt most comfortable. Out of my peripheral vision I saw someone sit down next to me. I looked up, trying to be concealing, and saw a girl, who had brown hair that came about 2 inches past her shoulders, and it was blow dried. She had on glasses that were black with white intricate design, but were stylish, the kind that any designer would wear. She was wearing a gray and white striped long sleeved shirt, and dark wash jeans, with black converse. She was on the small end of the scale, in height. She couldn't have been over five feet, but I was only 5'4. She bent over to get something out of her purse, and her binder fell off of her desk, and onto the floor of my row of desks. She looked over, and I heard her mutter, "Crap, this is not my day."

"Could you pick that up for me, please?" She asked, looking up at me with big brown doe eyes. They shined, with a warmth that made me want to wrap her up in a big hug.

"Sure." I whispered. I picked it up, and placed it in her small hand, which the nails were painted black on.

After she arranged everything, she turned back to me, and held out her hand.

"Hey, I'm Jasmine Richards." I took her hand, and shook it.

"I'm Violet Adams." I said. She smiled at me.

"I like your name. We're both a type of flower." I found that extremely ironic.

"So, what are the people like here?" She asked me. I looked up at her.

"I'm new here. This is my first year here." I said.

"Really? So am I! Thank goodness, I'm not the only 'New Kid.'" She rolled her eyes.

We talked until class started, and I came to learn that she has a younger sister, she moved from Tennessee, (she barely had an accent) and she's never been able to find that one special guy. All the guys she'd fallen for before had been awful towards her, or her parents didn't like. She told me a lot about her life back home, and I could tell she liked getting to know people well. I found out that we had 3rd period together, with Seth and Embry. I told her about them, and all of the guys, and how she would love them all.

Lunch rolled around, and I found Seth and Embry sitting at a table with a few of the other guys; Taylor, Jayden, and Daryan. Jasmine said that she was going to buy a drink, then come and find me.

"Hey, Vi." Seth said when I walked up. He had two trays full of food as did every other guy at the table.

"Can you guys make room? I met someone new, and she asked me to save her a seat." They scooted down, and I sat down next to Embry, leaving a space between Seth and I for Jasmine.

I was looking for her, and saw her at the edge of the cafeteria, and waved to her. She walked over, and sat down next to me. Seth was throwing french fries at Taylor across the table. Jasmine brushed against him, and he looked at her just as she was sitting down. His mouth went slack, his eyes grew soft. The table grew quiet, and Jayden looked at Daryan, then looked at Taylor. Embry just stared at Seth. Jasmine was looking at something in one of her folders, and she hadn't looked up yet. Seth looked at Embry, over my head. Seth nodded slightly, then looked back down at Jasmine as if he couldn't believe something.

She looked up at me, then looked at the guys sitting at the table. She took their quietness as a sign for her to talk.

"Oh, I'm sorry, how rude of me." She said with a twinge of a country accent.

"Hey, yall, I'm Jasmine Richards. And you are..?" She looked at me. I looked at Embry, who was sitting there looking down at me, which made me turn red.

"Jasmine, this is Embry." I wasn't even looking at her, I was looking into Embry's eyes, losing myself. I focused, remembering I wasn't the only person here.

"And this is Taylor, Jayden, Daryan–" I saved Seth for last, "and Seth."

She looked up at Seth, and he looked down at her. I don't know what happened, but she smiled, and he smiled back. I was so lost, and didn't know what to say. She turned back towards me, and everyone resumed eating, like nothing had happened. I brushed it off, but I was going to ask Embry what went on later.

We walked into our 3rd period, and Jasmine sat in front of me, and Embry beside me. I noticed ever since lunch, Seth had been hovering over Jasmine, near her, as much as possible. He was sitting next to her, in front of Embry. I stopped watching them, when something else happened. A girl who was extremely thin, had long, deep black, straight hair walked towards Embry and sat behind him.

"Hey, Embry." I heard her coo in his ear. I felt my hand clench around my pencil.

"Hey, Sharon." His annoyance reached my ears, and I relaxed.

"Where have you been all weekend? We haven't seen you anywhere." A strand of hair was wrapped around her slender finger.

"I've been busy." His answer was curt. I wondered why he was being so hostile towards her, until she stood up and her fingernail ran across his shoulders, and between his shoulder blades. I felt my blood run cold, and I felt my teeth grind. Red tinted my vision, and I shook. I felt angered, yet protective. Jealousy, my mind registered.

Jasmine was looking back at us, which made Seth turn around. Embry's eyes fixated on mine as he soaked up my reaction to this girl.

"Knock it off, Sharon. Don't you think being rejected five times already has told you that Em's not interested?" Seth said, smoothly. The girl's face scrunched up at Seth, and she sat down, her arms crossed over her enormous chest. I turned around in my desk, and looked at Embry out of the corner of my eye. He was tensed up, frustrated. Seth turned and whispered something inaudible to me, or Jasmine.

Classes went on, and before I knew it, the day was over. I walked with Jasmine to my car. Embry and Seth tailed behind us, walked towards their trucks.

"We should all hang out, together." Jasmine said, being the brave one, saying what we were all thinking.

"Yeah, we should." Seth said, staring at her. Jasmine barely seemed to notice, but if she did she didn't let it show. I nodded, and Embry smiled at me.

"How about right now? We could go to the beach again.." His sentence stopped short, he and Seth grinned at me.

"As long as you promise to not drown me this time." I joked. Jasmine looked from me, to Embry, then Seth. She shook her head.

"I don't want to know. But hey, I'm glad to go. I don't want to head 'home.'" She put air quotes when she said home.

"You can ride with me." Seth said eagerly, his face bright.

"I thought Collin was gonna take your truck home?" Embry asked. Seth looked at him, and Seth had a bewildered look on his face. Jasmine and I looked at them both, very confused.

"Oh, right! I forgot. I'll ride with you, Em." He looked defeated, and his face fell, and it made my heart hurt. I looked at Jasmine, and her face was in a frown, as if she felt the same way I did, but 10 times worse. Embry placed a hand on Seth's shoulder, and pulled him towards Embry's truck.

Jasmine turned towards me after they walked out of hearing distance.

"What was that all about?" She asked me, following me to my car.

"I have no idea. The whole group is secretive. I don't understand half of their conversations, and it frustrates me. I feel like it's something I should know." I said, opening up to her as I stepped into my car. We started it, and I pulled out behind Embry's truck.

"So.. Seth's cute." She said, being plainly blunt.

"He is. I think of him as a younger brother, even though I've only been here a few days." I said.

"Oh. Well, that's not what I meant.." She said looking down at her hands. I saw her face turn red, and I smiled to myself.

"I kinda figured." After that, we dropped the subject. I told her about the day at the beach and what to expect if the guys got any ideas. She laughed when I told her that they threw me in the water.

"I don't think you could have fought back anyway, they look so strong." She giggled.

"They are, but they can be gentle too.." I let my voice trail, thinking of Embry, and how he was very strong-looking but was like a.. puppy in a way. Very sweet and gently, yet strong and graceful.

"What are you thinking about?" Jasmine asked me, breaking up my thought process.

"Oh.. Nothing." I felt my cheeks turn pink.

"Were you thinking of a guy..?" She said her lips turned up into a sly smile.

"Yes, I was." I said, being sly back.

"Who is it? Do you have a boyfriend that I should know about?" She asked, a laugh ready in her voice.

I thought of Jordan, which I completely forgot all day. Embry helps me forget, everything bad that has happened to me. I suddenly felt warm, and safe just thinking of Embry. But thoughts of Jordan shattered that warmth, and made everything cold and made me feel unsafe. I involuntarily shivered, but thankfully Jasmine didn't notice.

"I don't have a boyfriend." I said simply.

"Do you like someone, then? Because I think I can name who it is." She smiled at me, looking at me with her big brown beautiful eyes.

"Oh? And who do you think this person is?" I asked, jokingly.

"Embry. Embry Call."

EPOV!

After I had to literally drag Seth away from Jasmine, we got in my car and headed towards the beach.

"I don't believe this! I, Seth Clearwater, imprinted on the most beautiful, wonderful, out-going girl on the planet! Can you believe this, Em? I still don't believe it! She's going to be mine.. All mine.." The poor kid. He couldn't shut up about her, and he had only met her less than 4 hours ago.

"Seth! Please calm down, we need to talk about this. I know you love her, but you can't tell her after knowing her for one day, I suggest you take it slow, but you should tell her when you feel it's time." I said, being the older-brother-figure that he needed. I mean, he had Leah, but she could be so wrapped up in herself she hardly noticed Seth.

"I know, Em. I wasn't planning on telling her today, but as soon as I can, because.. Well, you know I don't like lying to people." he confided in me. Seth could never lie, even when he wanted to. Which is why Sue found out about the werewolf thing earlier than planned.

"Yup, I know Seth. I was just letting you know, which is why I wanted you to ride with me to the beach so I could tell you that."

"Thanks, Embry."

We arrived at the beach, with Violet and Jasmine behind us. I hated being away from her, and now Seth knew exactly how I felt. I watched her climb out of her car, so tempting, so perfect. I didn't realize my eyes lingered on here, until I heard her clear her throat.

"Let's go." I heard her say, but I was searching for her eyes. I found them, and saw something, in them. Some sort of recognition, some feeling that was just being uncovered, one that I knew well.

She had feelings for me, and they were strong. She may not know about them yet, but I saw a faint truth that they were deep inside her, and I couldn't wait to surface them.

JPOV!

I went to the La Push school the next morning, hoping to find a glimpse of Violet. It hurt to think of her, knowing she wasn't with me, and me not knowing where she was. I sat in my car, in the parking lot for awhile, until someone came out and told me I had to leave or they would call the police. I drove back to my hotel, and sat in my room, until school let out. I went back, and waited to see when she came out. Every single one of the teens looked the same. I knew I could never find her in this sea of kids. I gave up, and drove around, unable to contain myself, I was so angry.

I pulled into a bar, got a few drinks, and drove off again. I went back to the apartments that the girl I followed yesterday. I was waiting, for Violet to come back. And I wasn't going to leave until I found her.

That was pretty awesome :D ok so I introduced a new character, Jasmine, who Seth imprinted on! (Yaay! I've always loved Seth :]) and I was thinking about writing a story about their life together, as a side story formed from this one.. Let me know how youd like that will you?

Keep reviewing, let me know about the side-story :D
