The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy; but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness-John Keats

"I would prefer the term teen please" she sighed and grabbed my empty dish while I smiled.
"You two grew up so fast. It feels like only a few days ago you, Leah and your father were in the living room coming up with nicknames for each other" I saw how much she missed him right then and there, how she missed having us as kids, as a normal family with each and everyone here complete. Nevertheless I knew she was a strong person and could surpass the hurt she was feeling now that she had Charlie to count on.
"Well you should get going honey, wouldn't want you being late again and Leah must be getting impatient by now" I grabbed my binder and gave her a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before leaving.
"Have fun at school and say hi to the pack for me as well as Amanda"
"Having fun in school might be an understatement mom and I will" I replied as I closed the front door.

Seth's POV
-Quileute Tribal School-
I parted away from Leah as soon as she left and made my way towards the small group of two.
"No man Damon and Daniel said she was a tall dark blonde" Alex bickered, one out of five new pups who had joined Sam's pack about a year and a half ago. His dark forest green eyes never left Ethan's even as I approached to greet them.
I realized they were arguing over what the supposed newcomers looked like and scoffed. What difference would it make around here anyways? But only cause rumors, and it seems even the pack gossips now.
"You know how Damon and Daniel can be devilishly liars right? Besides Skye told me that he saw her when she came to register for this school" he motioned towards his brown eyes to prove the correct point. Ethan was the smart brain out of all the members in Sam's pack including Jake's. He was in a way too nerdy but not too different than any of us. The only variation was that Alex is the outgoing talkative guy while Ethan remained shy and smart but quite amusing when you get to know him.
Damon and Daniel on the other hand were part of Sam's pack as well. Everyone referred to them as the devil twins in a teasing manner because of how childish they can seem to be even more than what Collin and Brady used to be, but what would you expect from two young thirteen year olds?
Last but not least was fourteen year old Skye he kept to himself most of the time which was weird however no one forced him to come out of his shell. He was pretty okay I guess he's actually the most normal out of the pack enjoying his time as humanly possibly he can get it to be.
"Can both of you stop arguing for a minute and maybe consider that you're arguing over the silliest thing?" I asked tired of hearing them bicker back and forth. I was never much of the guys who would be pleased to see a small fight take place…even the tiniest idiotic fights like this one.
"It's going to be silly when I prove Ethan wrong and win those five bucks for being right" Alex spoke lowly while smirking. Ethan scoffed but seemed calm and confident that he was going to win the bet. Just as I was about to speak the most precious car I had ever seen besides the Cullen's was making its way towards the school.
No Cullen car besides Alice's Ferrari was a match for this striking Mustang GT. I stared mouth half open and blinked before hearing Ethan speak slowly.
"Dude is that actually the new Mustang they have in the TV commercials?" Alex nodded his head staring at it in awe. I swear if Jake, Quil and Embry were here they would've flipped in thrill by now.
I looked around and saw almost everyone had stopped what they were doing to admire the car or rather the persons that were in it. Small gasps and whistles were heard around the parking lot as two people came out.
"Great just what I needed" one mumbled angrily after closing the car door quite harshly. Up until now I never knew such a voice could so angelic and melodic, not sickly sweet like vamps but…rather humanly beatific.
"She isn't a dark blonde nor is the other one... not even friggin close" Alex noted frowning. Ethan chuckled and clapped him in the back.
"I expect those five bucks by the end of the day bro"
"The taller one is actually a light brunette and the other one is more like a real brunette" I stated taking in their features. Even though their backs were facing us I could still see fairly well. The light brunette seemed to be slightly taller than the other one and had curly hair that stopped at her waist. The one on her right though had a mixed hair color something like black/dark brown/ and burgundy all together, it was straight and flowed freely just pass her shoulders. Ethan's hand broke my train of thoughts as he waved it back and forth in front of my face.
"Seth, come on man we need to get going" he looked at my dazed face and searched for the thing or rather persons who had caught my full attention.
"You're lucky their backs our facing us 'cuz if they weren't sheesh you would've freaked them out by your inattentively staring" I shoved them aside jokingly and saw Tyler, one of many school players, approach the two newbies. Thank god to the inhuman hearing that comes with being a shape-shifter, if it didn't well let's say I would be
"Hey haven't I seen you two before?" he asked using his ridiculous cocky voice. He was just after money and err…as they gave the first impression of being a pretty good looking wealthy family from what I assumed.
"Yeah that's why we stopped going there" I had to chuckle at the small joke she made and smiled when the light brunette nudged her side.
"I'm just kidding. I see this town has no sense of humor, names Atilia and this girl right here is my mo-sister April" Atilia what a beautiful name I thought.
"Atilia seems amusing" Ethan said after observing them just as I was.
"Wow and here I thought I was the only one with sense of humor in this dull town" Alex laughed quietly. "I might get to know this girl soon." Before we could talk more about them the bell decided to ring and we said our goodbyes to each other after leaving towards one another's class.
For once in months I was actually on time when I entered the English class and it was pleasant not having to serve detention for being tardy almost every day.
"Yes child I know who you. Take a seat at the far right corner of the class next to the window and here is your assigned book also know that seat will be permanent for the rest of the year am I clear?" the old lady's voice was filled with annoyance when I took my seat and not once did I check to see who the cause was until they spoke.
"Yes miss but I didn't quite get your name" she spoke innocently like a persuading sweet child. She seemed too entranced in wanting to get the answer to notice that class was about to start and that she was receiving more attention as kids came in.
"Miss Lenoir. Now go take your seat and wait patiently for the class to start" Atilia saluted her off and soon everyone laughed when we saw Ms. Lenoir's left eye twitch with irritation. I didn't catch Atilia's face thought but only saw her checks flush red as she passed by and sat down, her side bangs concealing my view of her face.
I chuckled quietly to my surprise when realizing she must've not noticed everyone was giving their full attention to them. Halfway through class Ms. Lenoir assigned us to read Killing Mr. Griffin silently and I was debating whether to talk to Atilia and get to know her or not until I gave in. Tapping her shoulder slightly, I hoped my temperature wasn't too noticeable on her skin.
"Hey I'm Seth Clearwater. The little salutation you gave Ms. Lenoir back there was hilarious I can already tell we'll get along great" I whispered eagerly and turned a little so I could see her better and that was when it happened.
My whole world crumbled apart and began a new era with her holding me in place. Everything I was devoting my life to protect and keep safe slipped my mind in mere seconds. Nothing mattered no more, not my mother, sister, pack brothers, friends, my new love for Amanda, hatred towards my enemies, nothing. Heck I did even care for myself anymore! The only person I was supposed to care, protect, love, give my life for was her, Atilia.
That moment of pure bliss I was to think was wonderful turned completely dull gray…no not gray…utter black, darkness surrounded me on the outside and I trembled of rage. Not anger for her but rather myself. How would I prevent everyone around me to not get hurt because of me?
It was that instant that I made an utterly confusing decision not even I was sure to promise keeping, I was going to fight the fate that held my soul mate and me together.

A/N *sigh* I don't know about you people but I actually put myself in Seth's shoes and thought about how he felt , I put my expressive effort in writing that little emotional paragraph =') Hope you liked it as much as I did and tell me what you thought of it so review if you want or not but yeah…
P.S. Anyone know the book Ordinary People and if you could tell me a brief summary of it please, our class is reading it but I haven't gotten the book and was deciding whether it's worth to read or not…
