Chapter 7
Kim's point of view
After I went into the house I was faced with an angry Josh and grinning Katherine.
"Why were you at school so late?" Josh asks.
"I um kind of fell asleep in class so I had to go to detention," I say and Josh's eyes widen.
"WHAT!" he yells.
"It wasn't my fault that red headed leech kept me up last night and into the early morning," I defend.
"Alright, well we got a call from someone named Lola," he says.
"What did she want?" I ask.
"She wanted to talk to you," he says.
"I bet it's about Jared," I say.
"What about Jared?" Katherine asks excited. I tell them about what happened at lunch, except the part where I ran away.
"Are you hurt?" Josh asks.
"No, I have super healing remember," I say.
"Oh ya," he says.
"Well I have a question," Katherine says.
"What?" I ask.
"Who were the boys in the truck that dropped you off?" she asks with a smile.
"Boys dropped you off?" Josh asks angry again.
"It was Jared and Paul," I say and Katherine squeals.
"What did you guys talk about?" she asks.
"Nothing really," I say.
"Nothing at all, nothing juicy?" she asks and I smile.
"Well I do have a date with him on Saturday," I say and she runs to me wrapping me in a tight hug.
"I'm so happy for you!" she says.
"Jeesh sis you sound like Carlie," I say.
"I can't help it, I'm just so happy for you!" she says and I smile.
"Well thanks," I say.
"Can I help you get ready for the date?" she asks.
"Of course," I say.
"Who said there is going to be a date?" Josh asks.
"Josh!" Katherine and I whine.
"I need to speak with Jared," he says and my eyes widen.
"Josh don't scare him off!" I beg.
"I just need to get a few things straight," he says and I blush. What is he going to say!?
"Just don't mention I'm a werewolf too," I say.
"Why?" he asks.
"I want him to think I'm normal," I say.
"Alright," he says.
"Thanks," I say.
"Go do your homework," he says.
"Can't I have to go do a double patrol," I say.
"Alright but be back as soon as possible," he says.
"I know," I say and head out the back door. I head into the forest and phase.
All during patrol I thought of Jared and about our date on Saturday. I wonder what we're going to do? I wonder if he did imprint on me? I wonder if he really likes me or it's just the imprint? I guess I'll find out soon.
"I have big news!" Sam says joining me.
"What?" I ask.
"Jared imprinted on a girl from his history class today!" he says and I smile. YES!
"That's great, what's her name?" I ask.
"Kim Connweller," he says.
"She seems like a nice girl," I say.
"Ya she does," he says.
"Well I have to go but have fun on patrol and call if the leech comes back," I say.
"Will do boss," he says and I phase back. I eat dinner and then finish my homework.
It's ten at night but I can't sleep, my head is buzzing with thoughts. I can't take it anymore and slip out of my bedroom window. I go into the forest and phase heading to Jared's house. When I arrive I see his bedroom light still on and hear him talking to his dad.
"She's so perfect," Jared says dreamily.
"She is a good girl Jared," his father says.
"Do you know her?" Jared asks.
"I knew her parents before they died," his father says and I feel my heart tighten.
"They both died?" Jared asks.
"Yes, so did one of her older brothers," he says and I fall to the ground in pain. Memories of my brother and parents flood my thoughts and cloud my brain. I miss them so much and hate that they're gone.
"What happened?" Jared asks.
"They were in a huge car crash in Seattle," his father says.
"Poor Kim," Jared says.
"She had a tough time but she seems better now," his father says.
"She now lives with her other older brother, his wife and their daughter," his father says. My heart has had enough pain so I decide to head back home. I have tears falling down my face and a whine escapes my mouth. Jared's head snaps in my direction and I mentally cuss. He looks at me confused and I jump into a sprint back home.
Jared's point of view
Hearing about Kim's brother and parents death made me hurt, I could feel her pain. I don't know what it's like to lose both parents or a sibling, both my parents are alive and I have three healthy little sisters. When I heard a whine I looked out my window and spotted a wolf with golden fur and brown streaks. Isn't that the alpha wolf of our pack? The one who won't revel her true identity? The wolf takes off in a sprint and I watch it fade away. I suddenly got the feeling to see Kim.
"Hey dad I'm really tired so I'm gonna hit the sack," I say.
"Okay, see ya in the morning son, night," he says and leaves. I turn off my light and wait until I hear both my parents asleep to sneak out of my window.
I jog over to Kim's house and see her asleep. I can smell her beautiful scent, vanilla apple blossom. I phase back pulling on a sweatpants and climb up her tree and into her room. She looks as beautiful asleep as she does awake. She looks so peaceful, calm, and relaxed. I sigh in content and stroke her hair. I've always noticed Kim in school and around town but I never really thought to talk to her. I've always secretly watched her though, I know she's a straight A student and used to play soccer and volleyball. She's best friends with Carlie Stewart, they have been forever. Kim is quiet and keeps to herself most of the time so I never really thought to talk to her.
"Mm Ryan," she mumbles with a frown. I growl lowly at the boy name. Who's Ryan and why is Kim dreaming about him?
"Don't go!" she says worried. I kneel down to her level and stroke her face.
"Calm down Kim," I whisper and she instantly does.
"Jared," she mumbles with a smile. I smile and kiss her hand. I stand up and go over to the window, looking once more at my sleeping angel.
