Okay, short chapter, I know. More to come soon, I promise. Anyway, please review because lately I feel like I'm writing for a brick wall... Just stick with the story. It will start picking up soon!
Disclaimer: I do not own any Twilight characters.

The house was unusually silent when I returned. Carlisle was still at the hospital, and Esme was probably still in Seattle for her charity event. Alice and Jasper had taken up residence in what was formerly Edward and Bella's cottage so they could have their privacy. I had the entire house to myself, which wasn't as exciting as it should have been.
So, when Seth showed up at the house later, I was actually kind of happy. He was a nice kid, but he asked a lot of questions. And how can anyone be that cheerful all the time?
We were sitting in the kitchen because, as usual, Seth was hungry—even though he told me that he had just eaten dinner. Luckily for him, Esme always kept the kitchen fully stocked.
"How was school?" Seth asked, taking a bite out of his slice of pizza that was fresh from the oven. "Ow. Ow, hot."
"I told you to let it cool off. And school was…" I tried to think of the right word. "Smelly."
"So you met Jacob?" Seth's brown eyes were bright with excitement.
"Met, no. Smelled, yes." I narrowed my eyes at him. "Don't even think of trying to play matchmaker, Seth," I warned.
"Of course not." But he still had a small smile on his face. "But, you know, Jacob still hasn't imprinted on anybody…"
"So you want him to imprint on a vampire? I'm sure that would work out wonderfully," I said sarcastically, unconsciously wrinkling my nose at the idea.
Seth shrugged. "Jacob was asking about you."
"Yeah, probably asking who the new vampire was, right?" I completely saw through Seth's attempt.
"Well… yeah, but that's the first step, right? At least he showed an interest."
I gave a snort. Like I cared what Jacob thought of me. Seth was trying too hard to do something that wasn't going to happen. I just hoped he wouldn't be too crushed when he failed.
