I don't own anything but Erin. Thank you for the reviews, I love them!

Two days later, Seth was taking me out on our first date after school. I was excited but also weary and nervous. I mean, I've never been on a date. Seth was my first kiss and the first boy I'd ever been interested in before, so of course he'd be the first boy to take me out. But what if I did something stupid or humiliating?

We had both pointed out the fact that we were basically doing what we always did, just with new titles. And I was loving the new title thing. When I'd gone back to school a girl in my English class had asked if Seth Clearwater was my boyfriend and I had been able to say yes. I think her name was Lyssa or something like that.

Also, lunch was quickly becoming the best part of my school days. The Pack all sat together with the two imprints that were still in school so I got to hang out with Embry, Quil, and Jacob too. It was at lunch that I properly met Kim Daniels, Jared's imprint. I was instantly in love with her sweet, earnest attitude.

"Hey, Erin, you know the guys, and that's Kim, Jared's imprint." I smiled at her and waved, sitting next to Seth. She gave a shy smile. I gazed at her for a second then gasped.

"I know you! We ran into each other that one time, right?" I asked. She laughed a little and nodded.

"Yeah, that was me." She smiled sheepishly and I grinned back at her.

I glanced to my side and shared a grin with my newest friend. Kim was two years older than me, in Jared's grade and yet still seemed unconcerned with walking in the halls with an underclassmen. Seth and the boys were out for the day, tracking some red head vampire, so Kim's company was very welcoming. It gave us both some reassurance, having each other to rely on.

"So, are you excited for your big date?" She asked, her eyes wide behind her reading glasses that she must have forgotten to take off.

"Yeah, nervous, too, but that's normal for a first date." I answered, nodding.

Kim nodded, her long black hair flopping around in her ponytail. "I still get nervous when Jared takes me out, but that's probably just my personality. I'm an anxious person."

I nodded, "You are jumpy, like a little rabbit." She blushed as we reached the front doors. I looked around, "I see Seth, talk to you tomorrow."

Kim smiled and nodded, "Definitely. Have fun." I hugged her and run to Seth, where he was standing by his mom's minivan.

"You're taking me on a date in a minivan?" I asked, slowing when I was closer to him. "I feel like a princess."

Seth gave me a look, walking to meet me, "Oh, ha, ha, ha. Funny girl." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pecked my lips, "Shut up, you know that's the most freaking reliable van in La Push."

I smiled and nodded, "I do know this. You find anything out in the woods?"

"Nah, just tracks." He shrugged, pulling away, taking my bag. "We'll find her."

I nodded, getting in the van.

Seth drove us past the beach to the closest thing to a tourist section La Push had and helped me out, opening my car door and everything.

I looked to see where we were and gasped, flinging my arms around Seth's neck, "I love you!" I squealed, hopping up and down. He laughed and pulled me away, turning me around.

"Come on, 'Rin" He lead me into Miss. Lahote's Bookstore. I grinned, jumping up and down in excitement. When we went inside, Paul's grandmother was behind the counter, smiling in that knowing, elderly way.

"Hey, sweetie." She greeted me and turned to Seth, "The back room's ready whenever you are."

I gave Seth a look but he just shook his head, grinning. We browsed for a while and Seth bought me a Stephan King book. We were at the check out still when Seth passed me the bag and nodded at Miss. Lahote, "Now, please."

She smiled and handed him a key, "Have fun, but not too much."

Seth laughed and nodded while I blushed, raising my eyebrows to the elderly woman. She shook her head, "A real keeper you got there." Then she gestured for me to follow Seth. I did, blushing even worse, surely looking like a tomato.

He stopped at the back room door, putting the key in the lock and smiling at me. I raised an eyebrow, "What did you do?" I asked, pointing to the door.

Seth opened it and walked in. I stayed where I was, glaring at him. He turned around and grabbed my hands. "Please, let you be first this time." He turned my words back on me, tugging me forward slightly.

I rolled my eyes and stepped into the room, looking around. I gasped, a huge smile spreading across my face as I turned back to my boyfriend, "How?" I managed.

He grinned, "I had to beg Paul on two knees. It was humiliating, but you're worth it."

A projector was on, showing Seth's Netflix page. My favorite show's page was on the screen, largely and beautifully displayed. Seth walked over to a laptop on the desk. "Which episode?"

I laughed, breathlessly and shook my head, "I really love you."

"That isn't on here." He said frowning.

I rolled my eyes and shook me head. After a moment, once I had my smile a bit more reigned in, I named my favorite episode available.

He clicked it and smiled at me as I wrapped my arms around him. "You are the best boyfriend. Ever." I whispered, kissing him as the show started.

I laughed, getting out of the van, running to the front door. Seth chuckled, following closely behind me, his hand rested on my lower back. I opened the door and went in. "Billy! I'm home!"

I stopped, not because my legs stopped but because Seth had slid his finger into my belt loop and he was holding me back. "Wait," He whispered, letting me go, walking into the house some more.

"Seth? What is it?" I asked in a faltering tone, reaching out and touching his arm.

Seth looked around and sighed, turning back to me, shrugging. "No one's home, but there's a weird scent. It's human, I know that, but it's not you, Billy, or Jacob."

I raised an eyebrow, unpleasant chills running down my spin, "You're sure no one's here?"

Seth nodded, "I can only hear our heartbeats, we're alone." He assured me.

I shook my head, grabbing one of his hands between both of mine. "The superhuman smelling and hearing are going to take some work to get used to." I leaned against the living room doorway, pulling him towards me.

Seth grinned and nodded, leaning in closer, "Oh really?"

I giggled and nodded, "Yeah, really."

Then his lips were on mine and I rested a hand on his shoulder, using my other hand to intertwine his fingers with mine. God, I would never get enough of this kissing stuff, it was beginning to feel like oxygen, something I could only go so long without. Well, I figured I would never get enough of Seth as a whole.

The front door swung open and we both gasped, jumping apart. I watched Billy roll in, blushing scarlet. Then I noticed the woman behind him. Seth was next to me in a second, his hand on my back again. I glanced at him then back at Billy, smiling. "Hey Uncle Billy, who's…"I trailed off, looking the woman.

She had chocolate brown hair that curled to her chest and dark brown eyes, like Billy's. It looked like she'd once been pretty but was now too tired to even try. She seemed oddly familiar. My eyebrows knit together in confusion.

"My own daughter doesn't recognize me? Figures. I wouldn't know you if it weren't for the hair. The only thing I ever gave you." Emmie Black said, crossing her arms over her chest at the exact same time I did.
