This is it Paul's POV.

I wanted to know more about her. I needed to know everything about her. She was my imprint.

My imprint.

It felt so right to say. When Jared imprinted on Kim, I hated imprinting. It took my best friend away. I hated it more then I hated becoming this….monster.

Sam always tries to tell me I'm not a monster. That we are protectors. I don't feel like I'm protecting anyone. I'm a threat. I know I needed to control my anger. Especially with Helena around.

I knew that if I could read thoughts, like the bloodsucker could, everyone, at least the guys, would be thinking about Helena.

I started to shake at the thought. If anyone dares to touch her. Do anything to her. Hurt her, ask her out. Anything that she doesn't want them to, I swear I will kill them.

I knew I was probably shaking out of control now. People are definitely giving me weird looks. I was so close to fazing.

That was until I felt a small, cold hand being placed on my arm.

"Paul. Calm down." I looked over at Helena. She looked scared. I was mad at myself that I had made her scared.

I smiled at her, trying to calm myself. "Thanks. I'm really sorry. I have a bad temper."

I took her hand off of my arm and held it. I looked back up at her and then at your hands and then at her, making sure it was okay. I didn't want to freak her out. She just smiled, and blushed.

The annoying bell rang, signaling it was time for lunch. I stood up and held my hand out to Helena. She took it and stood up. We walked out of the classroom. Hand in Hand.

Jared ran up to us. "Hey man."

"Oh. Hey." I didn't notice when he walked up. I was too focused on Helena. "Helena, this is Jared. Jared, this is Helena."

Jared stuck his hand out for Helena. She just looked at it and laughed. He gave her a weird look. I just glared at him. She pulled him into a hug.

"I don't shake hands, Jared, I hug." Jared looked embarrassed. I laughed. Someone hit my arm.

"Oh. Paul no laughing at your friends. And, you do know your, like, as hard as a rock."

Jared tried not to laugh. He knew how we got around imprints. We wanted to show your love in any way. And sometimes we were as horny as hell. So, yes, in a way I was as hard as a rock. Just not now. I would never be in school. I hoped. Or around the guys. I would never live that down. I can hear Jacob now.

We walked into the lunchroom. Jared ran off somewhere, trying to find Kim.

"Where did he go?" Helena asked. I looked down at her and smiled.

"Look." I pointed to where Jared was. He had Kim in his arms and was holding her close to him. Kissing the top of her head.

"Awe. I always wanted a relationship like that. You know. Where the guy will drop everything just to be with her. To never leave her. To be completely honest with her. To be anything she wants him to be."

I looked over at her. She had described imprinting. "Trust me. You will definitely find that. I already know someone loves you. Come on lets go get some food." I picked out everything I usually got. A few slices of pizza, 2 pops, some fruit, and a muffin. I looked over at Helena. She had a bottle of water and an apple.

I gave her a look. "I only brought two dollars for lunch. Which sucks. But I'll deal."

"Nope." I said popping the 'p'. "Get what ever you want I'll pay for it."

"Okay." She sounded unsure. "

"Trust me." I smiled a resurging smile at her. Her face lit up. She looked around at her choices. She got this evil glint in her eyes.

"YUMM!!" She grabbed two bowls of Mac 'n' cheese. And a monster.

"Please tell me you do not get insanely hyper off of those."

She laughed. God, how I loved that laugh. "Nope. Only if I haven't had one in a long time." She grinned evilly. "But don't worry I don't get scary hyper. I just say things and I don't notice what I'm saying. Like I could tell my whole life story to a stranger."

I laughed at her. She mockingly glared at me and set her food on my tray. I walked over to the register. And paid. I heard Helena giggle. But with who..?

I turned around. It was Garrett. I knew this wasn't good. I decided to pretend I wasn't listening, as I waited for my chance.

"Really Garrett. Please just leave me alone. I'm definitely not interested in you. I'm with Paul, so just leave."

I heard him huff and walk away. I turned back around. "I heard all that. Thanks."

"It was nothing. I really feel that way."

I looked down at her. Hoping to show her in my eyes how much she meant to me.

"That meant a lot." I laughed nervously. "So your with me now?"

She blushed. "Shut up."

"What I can't hear you. You'll have to speak up."

"Stop it!" I hadn't even noticed we were walking. But we were already at our table.

"Hey everyone." They all looked up. Surprised I was being nice. Seth was the first one to speak.

"Hey Paul who is this?" Helena looked over at Seth.

"I'm Helena. Who are all of you guys?" I set the tray down.

"You already know Jared. That's his imp—girlfriend Kim. Next to her is Jacob, then Quil, Embry, Seth, his sister Leah, Colin, and then Bradley." They all said hi.

"So. Helena, free Friday night." Quil. I was going to kill him. I growl escaped my lips. Helena looked over at me worried and set her hand in mine under the table. I calmed down.

"Sorry…Quil was it? I already have plans with someone." She looked over at me and smiled.

Seth then dropped something and went under the table…..the weirdo.

"AWWWW! They are holding hands!!"

Everyone looked at us. Helena blushed. I just glared at Seth.

Leave it to Seth to embarrass us.
