Jared is sitting at the foot of my bed when I wake up the next morning. I rub my eyes, an I slowly pick myself up out of bed.

"Jared, leave." I grumble tiredly. "I need to get dressed."

Jared smirks. "The bed hair suits you, Brandi."

I throw a hairbrush at Jared's head as he dodges out of my room. I groan loudly and slam my room door. I place my hairbrush back on the dresser before I put on some skinny jeans, a pink off the shoulder sweater, and some black converse high tops.

I go to the bathroom, and I do my eye makeup with the door open. I smile at my reflection before leaving the bathroom. Jared and Paul's eyes cut up at me, and they both smile.

"Hi, boys." I greet them. "Who's riding with me to school?"

"I will." Jared says, lifting himself off the couch. "Drop me off at my place before you go to the Clearwater place."

"Sounds like a plan." I smile. "Paul, do you want to ride too?"

Paul smiles at me. "No thanks, Brandi. I'll manage."

I shrug my shoulders in defeat before I go out to Sam and Emily's jeep. Jared gets into the passenger's seat before I start of the soft rumble.

Paul finds me at my locker at school, and he twirls me around to face him. He places his thumb on my chin, and gently lifts my head. My eyes lock with Paul's, and his eyes widen in adoration and shock.

"Paul...?" I speak softly, gaining his attention finally. "Did you just imprint on me?"

Paul's face lights up, and he smiles his wonderful, almost rare, smile. "Yes, Brandi, I just imprinted on you."

"Good, now I have to get to class before I'm late." I smile up at the hothead wolf. "I'll see you at lunch."

----

Paul sits me beside him at lunch, Jared is sitting on my opposite side. He and Paul are talking about their patrol tonight. Rachel and Kim are giving me apologetic smiles, because the boys are on each side of me.

"What's up after school today, Brandi?" Rachel asks.

"Going to the Clearwater place, visiting Harry and Sue." I reply. "Gotta drop Jared off first, then go there."

"Dad wants to over tomorrow." Rachel says. "I'll pick you up before school tomorrow, then we will drive to my place."

I shrug. "Alright, sounds good."

---

I drive my jeep to Jared's place, and drop him off. I pull away from the Cameron place and I drive to the Clearwater place. Sue Clearwater reps out onto the porch, and she smiles wide as I step out of the jeep.

"Brandi Young!" Sue jogs up to me, beside the jeep. "How are you, little girl?"

I smile as I hug Sue, who is like a second mother to me. "I'm alright, did you hear what Ricky did?"

Sue frowns as she leads me inside. "Yes, Sam told Harry and Harry told me. That's just the most awful thing."

I nod my head before sitting on an armchair. Sue hands me a mug of hot chocolate, and she has a seat across from me.

"How is school going?" Sue asks.

"Pretty good, despite me starting in the second semester." I reply. "The teacher's day is impressive with how good I'm doing."

"That's great." Sue gushes when we hear he front door open.

Harry steps into the lining room, his baseball hat turned backwards for fun. Harry actually smiles when he sees me. "Hey there, Brandi. It's been a while."

Harry gives Sue a small kiss, then he heads upstairs, probably to clean up. Sue sighs as Leah and Seth enter the home.

"Brandi!" Leah Clearwater hugs me. "Hey."

I smile softly, and I hug Leah back. "Hey, Leah."

After I visit with Harry, Sue, Leah, and Seth for a couple hours, it is time to head home. I tell everyone here bye before I climb into the jeep. A yawn escapes my mouth; I groan at my tiredness before driving home.

Emily takes the keys in hand, and leaves to go visit the cemetery then to go to Port Angeles for groceries. She gets so busy during the day, she don't do personal things like this until dark.

"How was your visit?" Sam asks, tossing his shirt in the living room hamper.

"It was well needed." I reply. "I'm gonna head to bed early, I'm not hungry; I'm just tired."

I drop myself on my bed, still in my school clothes, and kick my converse off. I yawn real big before I pass out.
