Chapter 2: Highschool

RPOV

Highschool; Something everyone looks forward to is Senior year. The one thing I look forward to when I think Senior year? It's one more year left, and then I'm off to New Hampshire for Darthmouth. I woke early the first day, not to sure why. I had never woken up for the first day of school in my life. I got dressed in the outfit Aunt Alice designed for my first day, which I had fallen in love with when I saw it.

The shirt was a light purple, and had a rose in the bottom left corner that was a bright red, popping off the light purple. The pants came down to my ankels, and the color was a dark blue. The next item I put on where my shoes, or well, heels. They were the same color as my shirt. After I finished dressing, I made my way to my bathroom, and pulled a hair brush through my long, brown hair. One thing I was glad to get from my mom was her hair and eyes. I then brushed my teeth, and walked into my room to retrieve my book bag before walking down stairs.

I walked into the kitchen to see that my little brother was awake, but my sister was not down stairs yet. I made two bowels of cereal before walking to her room to get her. I found her in her closet trying to find something to wear. She was running from one end to the other, not sure of what to wear. I smiled to see she was just as nervous as I had been for my first day of highschool. I walked over, held her arm, and said I'd help her.

I found her a shirt that was pink and had hearts all over it. The cut was low, the same as mine. She laughed as she said she couldn't wear that.

"Harmony, of course you can. Trust me, you'll look amazing. Now, take this shirt, this pair of jeans, and I'll find you some shows while you dress." I said as I pushed her off to the bathroom. When she came back out, I handed her a pair of black flats and I pulled her to the bathroom to do her hair.

I pulled a brush through her hair before pinning the right side back with a bobby pen, leaving the rest down to flow perfectly around her face. She looked so much like me, it was hard to believe we weren't twins. When we returned down stairs together, our cereal was beyond soggie, and we didn't have much time to eat. Jordan pulled up in the drive way, so I kissed my little brother on the cheek and wished Harmony a good day at school before leaving.

As I walked outside, I found Lyric had pulled up to take Harmony and Jazz to school as well. I waved to my oldest brother as he smiled my way and gave me the thumbs up on my outfit. Of course he would like it since Aunt Alice was the one to make it. When I climbed into Jordans mustang, I leaned over to kiss him before putting on my seatbelt as we pulled out of the drive way.

Jordan and I had been dating for three years, and it was hard to see myself with anyone but him for the rest of my life. I didn't understand why I hadn't imprinted on him yet, but I hadn't given up hope yet. Seth had told me it had taken him six years to imprint on Embry's cousin Maria. It was hard to not be able to tell Jordan about me, but he understood that some times I had things to do with my crazy, and completely abnormal family.

When we got out of the car, he came over to put his arm around my waist as we walked into the highschool. When we got into the building, he kissed my cheek before we went separate ways to find our lockers. My friend Allie had the locker beside mine, and her boyfriend Max had the locker beside Jordans. I still wasn't for sure how that worked out. When I opened my locker, I grabbed my chemistry 3 book, a notebook and threw a few pencils and pens into my bag before looking into the mirror that came with every locker, and fixed my hair before shutting my locker to find Jordan standing behind it.

"Mel, why do you always have to fix your hair? You know you've never had a bad hair day in your life. You always look great." He said with a smile as he slid his hand into mine.

He always said things that left me beyond speechless, and able to do nothing but blush. He caressed my rosy red cheek. When a couple of freshmen walked by, the whistled at me, not realizing that Jordan was holding my hand. He then grabbed my face to kiss me, clearly to were the kids could see. I turned to look at them, and their faces were priceless. We both laughed at the sight.

"You know, you'd think that with how long we've been together and how everyone talks about it, that the freshmen would already know." He said with a laugh. "It just reminds me how lucky I am." he said.

As I pointed to a group of girls behind him that were completely and obviously checking him out, I said, "And girls like that remind me of how lucky I am."

He smiled as he leaned down to kiss me before he headed off to class. The day suprisingly went by fast, and after my lunch as Jordan, Allie, Max and I walked out from the cafeteria to building A, I saw Harmony and a friend walking towards building C. I quickly ran over to catch up with them to talk to Harmony.

"Hey. How's your day going?" I asked her as Jordan and I reached her.

"It's been great so far. Do all of the classes give you homework on the first day?" She asked.

"Just about," I said with a laugh, "Don't worry, none it will be to hard yet, though. I'll help you with it all when I get home. Tell mom and dad I'll be home around 6. Jordan wants me to eat dinner with his family. Who's your friend?" I asked.

"This is Alison. Alison, this is my older sister Melody, and her boyfriend Jordan." She announced as she introduced us.

"It's nice to meet you. I'll see you at home, sis. Love you. And don't be late for class. Mr. Ferguson is harsh about tardies." I said just before leaving her and her friend to walk to class.

Later that day when we arrived at Jordan's house, his little sister ran up to me to get a hug. Sarah had loved me from day one, as well as his parents and grandma that lived with them after her husband gave his life a few years ago in the army. She mentioned him often, and was beyond proud of her son who had taken his father's example in the army. He was currently over sea's, but every wednesday when he skyped with his family, some nights I would be here and he'd ask to talk to me as well.

I admired Jordan's father for it, and always said my thank you's, even while knowing I had much worse things to worry about rather than a bomb. Jordan was proud of his father, but it killed him when his little sister would cry for him at night, not sure why he had to be away for such long periods of time.

After dinner, as Jordan put Sarah to sleep for the night, I looked around her room and saw just how perfect it was for a four year old. Once Jordan dropped me off that night, I walked into the house to help Harmony with what homework she had left, then ran outside to find Lyric. We phased as it was our turn for patrol.

"You know, with the wedding just a few weeks away, I'm starting to realize just how much Alexa means to me. I love her more than I had thought before." Lyric said as we stopped at the river for a drink.

One thing I loved about Lyric, even though I could always read his mind, he told me everything on his own. I had always admired Lyric and how he handled his feelings, but I had never seen him look this happy before.

"Lee, what's it feel like to imprint?" I asked. It had been something I had wanted to know since I first phased. The way my father described it to me had made me want to know more and more.

"It's hard to describe, Mel. When I first phased, the first thing I wanted to do was run right over to Alexa to see if she would be the one that I would imprint on. I was beyond disappointed when it didn't happen right away. Then one day, about a month after I phased, she walked into the house, and it happened. I literally felt gravity let go of me, and her pull me back down to earth, and hold me there. All of the room went completely dark, and all I saw was her. As a few of her friends walked into the door, I didn't even recongize them, even Darby who I had always found attractive. All of a sudden, she was nothing compared to Alexa. I've never seen anyone since that can surpass Alexa." He said with a smile across his face.

"I hope it's like that when I imprint on Jordan." I said.

"Mel, don't get your hopes up, please. You saw what it did to Sammy when he had his hopes as high as the moon that he'd imprint on Michelle, and instead imprinted on Robin. He was completely heart broken that it wasn't Michelle, even though he couldn't help but love Robin. Of course he and Michelle are still dating, but that's only because his imprint with Robin is different than the rest of ours. He's somehow found a way to make it work, with him just protecting Robin and being her best friend. It may not always happen that way, though."

I knew what Lyric said was 100% true, but I wasn't done with wishful thinking. I wasn't for sure how I would react if I imprinted on someone other than Jordan. I already only saw him in my life forever. I couldn't begin to imagine spending my life with anyone else. That night when I lay in bed, all I could do was wish on each star I could see through my window that I would have a happily ever after like my brother and my parents.
