A/N: Okay guys! I know a lot of you were really excited to read this chapter, so I was trying to figure out how to maximize readability. [Is that a word?] So, I'm going to do it from Leah's POV! If you were wondering about Leah's behavior last chapter, you should be. Think about it for a few minutes, it might hit you. I apologize that this will probably be my last chapter for a little while, or at least updates will start coming less often. The school year is beginning to draw to a close, and with it comes extra curricular events, projects because every teacher KNOWS that their class is the most important in the world, and of course the ever present studying. I promise I'll try, though! And once summer rolls around, I'll need something to do. So as long as EdwardCullenBOY doesn't steal me for lazer tag and chillin every night I was available like he did last summer, updates should come pretty quickly and well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. I just love taking the girls out for a little fun :]
Leah's POV
I sat in my desk, stunned. Had the little pixie girl sitting across from me just told me that she was my grandmother's lover? I thought back for a moment. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she had.
A month ago, that would have made me pissed. Not just because the little pixie girl before me was a vampire, I could smell it on her and in every fiber of her being. I had smelled it when I walked in the room. No, I would have been mad also because she was here at the school, putting every kid here at risk of being drained. I would have gone running out of here and straight for the woods. At the 'res, I had had problems with my temper and the fact that my temper often made me need to run. I had been hoping here would be different.
Surprisingly, it was. Right now, I didn't want to head for the trees. I just wanted to talk to this girl sitting in front of me, get to know her.
I was still really stunned about Alice being my grandmother's lover, probably about when she was my age. At least I had regained composure from when I first laid eyes on her. I would have to ask Quill of Embry later why she gave me such a reaction. No one, not even Sam when we had dated, had ever given me such a reaction.
Then I had to start wondering what this meant for me. Was I gay? I had loved Sam, or so I thought. I had dated other guys before, too. So was I bi? I shook my head a little to snap me back to Alice, who was still waiting for my reaction. All of my thoughts had run through my head in a span of about 30 seconds.
I then looked at the girl sitting in front of me. She was wearing a white long sleeved shirt with a tan vest over it. A pair of dark blue jeans sat on her hips, and I realized that as she walked, I would be able to see every muscle in her hips and thighs move, they were so tight there. At her collarbone sat a loose choker, with something that looked like a family crest on it. And not to forget her hair.
Oh, my god. I could go on forever about her hair. It was short, each strand between six and eight inches long, but beautiful. The color was wonderful, too. It was dark, almost black, but with just a twinge of brown to it. It was the type of hair that I just wanted to wrap my fingers up in while I kissed her, worshiped her...
Okay, focus Leah. She's still waiting for your reaction. You probably look like an idiot right now.
The rest of the period continued smoothly. We agreed to present our project in power point form, that way we could both work on it and not necessarily have to work on it at the same time.
The bell rang, and we both stood up. I was about to ask her to eat lunch with me, but she walked out the door. Normally, that would have pissed me off. Somehow, though, I couldn't make myself mad at her.
That afternoon, I walked out of school with my backpack slung over one shoulder. I headed towards the woods, starting to jog. Once I was fully in the trees, I began to strip. Once all of my clothes were off, I stuffed them in my backpack, and then tied it to my ankle.
I phased, then began the run home. As I neared my house, I felt another presence in my head. Seconds later, Quill greeted me.
Hey Leah. How is Forks High?
Boring. I wish I was still at the 'res high with you guys. Hey, do they still have that awesome history teacher?
Yeah, but he's retiring this year. He thought regretfully.
Haha, remember how he had the mid-year exam up on the cork board the whole first half of the year, and none of us realized it untill we actually took the exam?
He laughed. Or how he played that music during the final exam that he said would be the type of music for a person to walk their pet canary to? Ah, gotta love Quill. He can bring back the best memories to make anyone laugh.
We shared a good laugh, then my thoughts drifted back to English. Hey, I have a question for you.
I'm all ears. He always was. Maybe that was the reason he was one of my best friends.
I rethought the events of English class. I went over how I felt when I saw her, and how I didn't want her to leave when class was over.
Any idea? I asked hopefully. I was slowing to a walk, nearing my house. I'll be right back. Quill was deep in thought, and I needed to dump my back pack. I phased back, and threw it through my open window. Seconds later, I was wolf again. Where are you?
The beach. Leah, I think we have a problem.
Oh, God. He's going to tell me that my response means we have to have a fight to the death or something of the equivalent. I couldn't hurt her.
No, nothing like that. He reassured me. It's just that the only time I've ever heard of feelings like yours towards Alice... He hesitated.
Spit it out. I told him. This was getting tiring. I had taken the loop, just to check our territory. We can never be too careful.
It's like Sam and Emily. You never want to leave her, you want to protect her, you want what's best for her. He reasoned. Oh, god. Leah, I think you imprinted on Alice.
I froze in the middle of the loop. Oh.
I'm pretty sure there's nothing you can do about it. You'll probably have to embrace it. Quill told me nervously.
I'm going home. As I said this, I turned back. I gotta think. Talk to you later.
Okay Leah.
And one more thing, Quill?
Anything.
Don't mention this to the guys.
I won't. With that, I phased. God, this was gonna be a long night.
