Just to let you know Jared hasn't imprinted with Kim yet, and I have completely changed Kim's personality and looks

Here it is chapter 12.....

Paul and Tom's fight was over a week ago now, and since then Tom hasn't seen or spoke to me.

To be honest I don't blame him, he was off school for like a week after would, probably because his nose had also broken and more, (I had a few days of school but I Emily made me go on the Friday with bandages on my nose embarrassing!)

I still haven't fully forgiven Paul for beating up Tom – and me-but Paul's pretending I have.

*sigh* at least it's the weekend.

I opened the door,

"Hey Beautiful" Said Paul.

Before I could say hi back he pulled me in for a big bear hug.

He'd started calling me beautiful a couple of days ago to make me feel better about my looks – nose- and I think because he is still a little bit guilty.

"Where's Emily?" he asked looking round the empty house.

"Out"

I watched as his eyes locked on the freshly baked warm brownies.

"I could smell then from a mile away!" he said letting go off me and grabbing a brownie.

"I made them this morning especially for us, taste good?"

"Uh-huh" he said with is mouth full, he just ate a whole brownie in one mouth full.

He didn't waste time and quickly grabbed another.

"Good, I didn't have all the ingredients, so I had to make it up a bit"

"It's really nice" he said holding a brownie up to my mouth.

I took a bite out of it.

Whoa they were well nice and still warm.

I took the brownie out of his hand and ate it bite by bite...

"You're so slow" moaned Paul.

I rolled my eyes.

I grabbed his hand and led him across the room, Paul grabbed the plate of brownies.

I was about to sit on the sofa when they door opened, and in came Emily followed by Jared and this girl.

The girl had glossy brunette hair down to her shoulders and brown eyes, she was wearing skinny jeans and a shirt. She came in looking pretty nervous.

"HI Jared" said Paul.

"Hey" I said sounding a little shy, because of this strange girl in the house.

"This is Kim" said Jared, He looked at her like....like she was everything to him.

Paul gave me this look which meant- he's imprinted.

I mimed oooh! to him, when she wasn't looking.

"HI Kim" I said and shook her hand.

"I'm Lauren" I smiled.

"Hi" she said quietly, she was looking at me weirdly.

Then I remembered I had that bandage on my nose.

"Oh my nose got broken" I said a little embarrassed but hid it by laughing.

"Oh" she laughed back- a little.

Jared wrapped his arm round her, shortly after Paul wrapped his arm round me.

I noticed Paul and Jared were having a stare off, I ignored it.

"Would you like to stay for dinner? "asked Emily to Kim and Jared " Where having Pasta".

I assumed she assumed that Paul was staying, but then I thought did Paul assume he was staying?

Jared looked at Kim.

"Yeah" he said whilst nodding at her, he looked back at Emily, "Sounds good" I grinned.

Kim stood there half smiling.

"Okay well I make a start on dinner and you guys can just...hang out" suggested Emily.

We happily took Emily's advice and sat on the sofas in the living room, and Paul turned the TV on.

Kim sat on Jared's lap, and kissed every what seemed like 5 minutes.

Me and Paul sat closely together, Paul had is arm round me and a leaned in a little – very comfy.

I tried not to look but I could always see out off the corner of my eye.

"So, Kim do you go to our school? I haven't seen you around "asked Paul.

"No I go to a private school" she replied.

"How did you meet then?" I asked.

"I saw her in the park and she catches my eye" said Jared all smug, as he kissed her.

As they kissed me and Paul just looked at each other like "Ugh so gross" I wondered if that's what we looked like.

On TV we were watching Mission Impossible 3, I'd seen it in the cinema ages ago with my ex-boyfriend – Nick (suck a loser).

However, my memory off the film was pretty vague so I was pretty intrigued as was everyone else.

"This film is so good" commented Jared.

"Yeah, have you seen it before?" I asked Jared.

"No but so far it's looking really good" replied Jared, his eyes fixed on the screen "Whoa!" shouted Jared as a car just flipped over.

We were about half an hour into the film when Paul had to go.

"Please don't go!" I begged.

As he walked to the front door leaving Kim and Jared in the living room.

"I have to, Sam needs me" he said cupping my head in his big warm hands and giving me a kiss.

He opened the door.

"Okay bye!"

"Bye" called Emily, I almost forgot she was here.

"Bye Beautiful" he said and walked out the door, "oh bye Emily!" he added.

I watched him go, and then walked back in the living room, where Jared and Kim were once again kissing.

"Paul had to leave huh?" asked Jared.

"Yeah" I said making not much effort to hide my disappointment; I was enjoying his presence- and his warmth!

Surprisingly Jared got up and gave me a hug.

"Awww don't worry, he'll probably come back later" he said.

"Yeah I guess, but You're staying aren't you?" I asked my question more to Jared then Kim only because I didn't really know her, also because Jared and Paul were best friends so he might leave with him.

"Yeah, I love pasta!" grinned Jared.

I heard him sniff.

"Speaking of pasta, I'm gonna go see if Emily needs any help." He left the room licking his lips.

Me and Kim watched him leave.

I looked at Kim, and noticed a evil glare.

"So you and Jared are pretty close Huh?" she asked.

"Yeah he's like my best guy friend"

"Friend? I see the way you act around him Lauren, I'm not naive" she said with a pinch of jealousy.

I was completely confused, what the hell?

"What?" I asked shocked.

"You slut, your flirting with him aren't you?" the way she said it it wasn't a question.

I stood there complexly gobsmacked. She looked at me with a deadly glint in her eyes.

"Look, Kim I think you've got the wrong end of the stick. I'm Dating Paul, Not Jared. We Are Just Friends. Nothing Is Going On Between us." I said emphasising every word as I said it.

"Well if that's the way you treat every guy your meet, you must be a complete whore!" she growled at me before storming off to see Jared .

I wondered if he had heard this conversation, maybe he could reassure Kim.

After a few minutes deciding if what just happened was my imagination or not, I walked into the hallway to find Kim about to leave. (Thank god)

"Okay bye Jared" she called.

She looked at me and smiled.

"Nice to meet you!" she said sweetly.

I didn't answer, and she left.

Jared started to act a little weird. I decided not to tell him about Kim, as I knew he loved her and didn't want to make a fuss besides it didn't matter weather she liked me or not at the end of the day.

"Mm I wonder why she had to leave all of a sudden" Emily said thinking aloud.

She dished up the tomato pasta.

"I don't know" Jared said quietly, he must of heard.

We ate our dinner in silence with Emily trying unsuccessfully to make conversation.

Jared hanged around for abit with me until 7 then he had to go with Sam.

Then it was just me and Emily for the rest of the evening- unless Paul came which I didn't think he was as it's getting late.

****************Paul's POV******************

I was walking up to Emily's when Jared's imprintee came out.

As soon as she saw me she came rushing to see me.

I could smell Jared all over her.

"Hi Paul" she said.

"Hi"

"Paul I'm only going to tell you this cos you deserve to know" she said getting serious.

What was she getting at?

"What?"

She leaned in closer, "Lauren told me that she fancied Jared, and that she's going to make a move on him soon" she whispered.

What? Lauren wouldn't do that would she? No no NO, she so wouldn't.

"What?" I said wanting more info.

"I know it's crazy, I said what about you bf Paul? And she was like I don't care about him, She told me that she had gotten real close to Jared at school and that its going to be more than just friends soon"

The words she was saying tore through me like a knife.

This can't be true.

"Yeah and she told me to back off Jared!" added Kim.

No way.

"Kim you sure she said this?" I asked "it doesn't sound like her."

Kim thought for a few seconds.

"Yeah I'm sure; I didn't think she was that kinda girl either!"

"Okay well I gotta go" I said I couldn't stand to hear anything else.

As she let I stood there, had Lauren been lying to me all along? What about our imprint? Did she feel it at all? No this is all wrong, I have to talk this out with her, I can't trust this girl who's barly known her 5 minutes. I started walking up the path when Sam came out the forest.

"Paul!" he called.

I looked at him.

"We could use some extra help"

I looked back at the house, then ran to Sam.
