A/N:I don't own Twilight only my OC's and my plot.

Thanks for all the reviews. I really appreciate it. I hope you guys like this chapter. There is a little bit of Rocco in this. I just love his character and wanted to show a little insight into him. Please enjoy and review.

MPOV:

This is the last week of school and it just flew by. It's finally Friday and my date with Remy is tonight and I'm practically bouncing off the walls. I stuff my book bag with all the crap from my locker while Sienna waits patiently for me. "Can you please stop smiling to yourself. It's kind of creepy." Sienna says while twirling a caramel colored curl around her finger.

"Shut the fuck up. I'm beyond excited about my date tonight and you should be too. You are my best friend." I say hurting a little at her lack of excitement for me. "I am Mox, it's just Remy has a reputation for being a man whore." She says rolling her eyes at me. "Not everything people say about some one is true." I say defensively.

She plasters on a fake smile and says "Fine, I'm just so happy that your ignoring my brother and going on a date with a guy that is only trying to use you." Her hazel eyes darken a little while I snort in disgust at the mention of Caine. "I hate you right now. And for your information I'm not the one ignoring Caine, he's been avoiding me." I shout and slam my locker door shut.

I stalk away from her and bump right into Nico, Remy's best buddy. "Hey Mox. What's got you all pissed off?" Nico says softly falling in step beside me. We had several classes this year and he's a sweet friendly guy. The total opposite of Remy but still very cute with his shy smile and heavily lashed brown eyes. "Nothing. It's just sometimes your friends aren't always what you expect." I say sadly and he just shakes his head. "I know what you mean." He says sounding like he really does know how I feel.

"Mox, look Remy's my best friend and he's really a great guy. Just be careful around him. He's a charmer and I don't want to see you get hurt. He's not the boyfriend type." Nico says flashing me a crooked grin and walks away leaving me staring after him. Why is everyone trying to rain on my parade. "Moxie let's go." I hear Rocco yell for me. I take a deep breath and walk my way over to Rocco's faded blue truck.

"Finally." He says impatiently as we both hop into his truck and make the drive to his house. My dad made him promise to keep an eye on me since he is one of the biggest in the pack. "What's got your panties in a bunch?" I ask rolling my eyes at him. His large sapphire blue eyes light up and that can only mean one thing. Esme. "Esme is coming down for my graduation." He says his thick lips spreading into a huge smile. Rocco's insanely smart and is graduating a year early so he can start college as a pre-med major. "You do know that she is a married hundred year old vampire and she's married to your mentor Dr. Sparkles." I say watching Rocco's face closely.

"It's not like that Mox. I fucking hate that everyone in the pack thinks that I'm in love with her." He says his jaw tightening slightly. I just look at him feeling guilty knowing I'm one of those who always picks with him about it. "I do love her but not romantically. You know she's like a mom to me. Don't get me wrong I have a great mom but Calla has always been her favorite and my dad's too. Esme just treats me like I'm special. Like I matter and not just because I can phase and carry part of the Black's genes." He confesses and my heart just clenches at his honesty.

"I'm sorry for all the things I said before." I say feeling like I owe it to him. "It's OK Mox. I understand, but thanks." He says smiling largely and pulling into his driveway next to a black shiny Mercedes that can only belong to a rich vamp. I follow Rocco out of his truck and up the driveway. My parents only live three houses down from his.

I usually pop in and say hi to aunt Rachel but the door opens up and Esme glides out with a huge dimpled smile on her face. She's stunning in her creme colored sweater dress and brown tall boots. "Moxie sweetheart you are just getting lovelier every time I see you." She says her voice soft and velvety. "Thanks Esme." I say and walk up the steps to give her a quick hug. She delicately embraces me in her cold arms and her sweet smell from her soft curls invades my nose. I know the pack can't stand the smell but I think she smells good like a stack of sugar cookies. I pull away and she just smiles at me. "Sweetie, tell your mother that I'll be expecting her at the fork's house later. I really do need her help since Alice isn't able to make it just yet." She says giving me all the information I need so my mom can help with Rocco's graduation party that is set for tomorrow night.

I walk away as Rocco bear hugs Esme and she proudly beams at him. Even though we are all bonded together and we were raised together doesn't mean we know everything about each other. I walk heavy hearted into my house and head straight for the kitchen where my mom is.

"Hey Mox...oh sweetie what's wrong?" My mom asks putting down her knife and wiping her hands on a towel. She wrinkles her nose a little as she hugs me. "Sienna is mad at me because of Caine." I say sullenly. "And.." My mom says knowing me all to well. "It's nothing. It's just something Rocco said today. I've completely misjudged him and I've known him my whole life. What kind of friend and family member does that make me?" I say feeling the tears ready to fall.

"Oh cupcake...your a good person. Obviously Rocco thinks so if he opened up to you. Your only fifteen Mox. Who knows maybe you too will be closer now." She says making me feel a little better. We talk a little and I tell her what Esme told me. I help her finish dinner and she asks me about my date tonight.

I can't help but smile now. "I'm so excited mom." I say but still feeling a little sad because Sienna is being such a bitch. "Good honey. I want you to enjoy being a teenager. When I was just a little older than you I had to deal with Sam's imprinting, my father passing away, being a wolf and fighting an army of vampires. I just want a normal life for you." She says pulling me into a warm hug. "Thanks mom." I say feeling much better.

I rush upstairs and rifle through my closet. I still have no idea what to wear. "Alice sent a dress with my grandma she thought would be perfect for your first date." Sienna says standing in my bedroom doorway holding a black garment bag. "What are you doing here?" I ask sharply. "You were right Moxie. I should have been more excited for you. You are my best friend and even though Caine is my brother doesn't mean I can't be happy for you." She says softly her large hazel eyes pleading with me to forgive her.

I bound over to her and pull her into a tight hug. I knew she would come around. "Uhh..can you both just stop with the pity party and lets get Moxie ready for her date." Dali snaps with a large smile on her face as she, Calla, Yasmine, Allegra, and Nessie make their way into my bedroom. I bum rush Nessie and hold tight to her. She's the most coolest older sister type in this fucked up family of ours.

Uncle Jake imprinted on her but the imprint was broken. Neither one of them loved each other like that. They are more like brother and sister now. Uncle Jake ended up with Aunt Rosalie because of some ancient prophecy our tribe has and Nessie moved to Puerto Rico and found her mate Carlos there. He's also a human/vampire hybrid.

"Ness what the fuck are you doing here?" I squeal happily. "Hello, your the first wolf girl to actually have a normal first date. I couldn't miss it plus Rocco's graduation party is tomorrow." She says her chocolate brown eyes shining brightly. "Aww...you guys are fucking awesome." I say grinning like a fool. "Must you always yous such language." Yasmine says primly.

"Not all of us are so proper like you Yas." I say flashing her a large smile. She just rolls her eyes and smiles back at me. She's the prim and proper one of the wolf girls and we are polar opposites. We butt heads but we love each other just the same.

Sienna hands me the garment bag and I peak inside and I can't wait to get dressed. Nessie shoves me in the shower while Calla sets up a bunch of cosmetics on my dresser. For a twelve year old she sure knows a lot about make up. Nessie sets up some hot rollers and curling irons. I may be tomboyish most of the time but when it comes to getting a boys attention I'm all about dressing up.

I hop out the shower and throw on a tank and some sweats. I let Nessie dry and style my hair. While my head is covered in curlers Calla starts putting on my make up. I tell her to keep it natural and she nods her head as she gets to work. Sienna and Dali get the wrinkles out of my dress while Yasmine looks through my jewelry box for some accessories.

We gossip and laugh making me feel like a normal girl for once. Allegra pouts a little at having to be away from Collin for so long. Out of all the wolf girls she annoys me the most. Dali has Brady but she wants a normal life too and normal girl experiences before she settles down with Brady but Allegra being only thirteen is all wrapped up in Collin.

Collin doesn't help much either. He bends to her every wish and whim and Uncle Jared and Aunt Kim let him. My mom doesn't agree with it and has voiced her opinion on the matter on more than one occasion. I can't blame her. Imprinting is the last thing I would ever want to happen to me. I'll be damned if I end up a 'Stepford wolf girl' like Allegra whose world revolves around Collin as much as his world revolves around her.

I push those thoughts away and enjoy our girl time. It's odd how when I think of imprinting Caine's face flashes in my mind. I still haven't told anyone about the weird tugging feeling I get when he's near. I try not to think about it. It's always been there since we were kids but lately it's getting stronger and it makes me nervous. I take a deep calming breath as Nessie eyes me carefully.

I smile at her and she just nods her head at me making her bronze curls bounce slightly. "You OK Mox?" Ness asks running her small fingers through my hair softly. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Last day of school and all." I say lamely trying to push thoughts of Caine from my mind. "OK." She says softly and continues with styling my hair. I can tell she doesn't believe me but she doesn't push me and I'm grateful for that.

This is my first date with a normal boy and I will not let thoughts of Caine ruin it for me.

A/N: Please Review. Next up Moxie's date with Remy and a little of Caine's POV.
