I hung up the phone and looked at the rest of the guys.

"Nora's getting suspicious thanks to a certain retard named Owen." I shot a glare at him. He glared back.

"Shut up." He muttered under his breath. Collin and Seth both looked nervously between us. Owen was getting a lot less happy-go-lucky and a lot more like an actual werewolf.

"Look, its not like she thinks he's a werewolf, she just thinks he's being weird." Seth said trying to cool stuff down.

"She'd better not start getting snoopy. I swear to God Owen, if she figures it out because of you-I'll…" I was shaking just thinking about it. All the work I did to get where I was with Nora. We'd finally started to go out and if that got ruined because she found out I was some sort of freak….

"Dude calm down, you just got those shoes." Collin said grabbing my shoulders. I growled at him.

"What if she finds out? Do you have any idea how catastrophic that would be?" I yelled tugging at my hair.

"Well, she'll have to find out eventually; maybe it'd be better if you just told her." Seth suggested. I groaned in frustration.

"Oh yeah that'll be a fun first date. How are you, that's great, have I mentioned I'm a werewolf and you're my soulmate? So what movie do you want to see?" I sarcastically snapped. Seth shrugged.

"Well, sorry I mean I'm sure it'll be fun when she's screaming at you in terror because you accidentally phased into a giant wolf in front of her." Collin retorted, I felt my stomach twitch in fear. What if that did happen to her? "Then the lovely 'you lied to me! I never want to see you again!'" He made his voice high to imitate Nora's. I felt my stomach twitch again but this time it was in anger.

"It's not like I'm never going to tell her! It's just…maybe in like a few years or something!"

"Embry told me on our third date." We all turned out heads to see Daisy, cheerfully standing behind us. She had her signature daisy tucked behind her ear and her hands on her hips. We had been walking through the woods and I guess we wandered towards her house.

"Um…hi?" Owen said a bit confused. Daisy smiled and laughed.

"I live down there," she said pointing down the path we were on. "And I could hear this one," she jabbed her thump at me. "Screaming from a mile away. Came to offer my womanly advice." I rolled my eyes at that.

"Gee thanks but we've got this covered." I said my voice dripping with sarcasm. She raised an eyebrow.

"Clearly. So what's up with the whole coming out to Nora thing?" she asked with a giggle. Seth surpressed a snort, I shot him a look.

"I'll tell her when the time is right." I said which made Collin roll his eyes but Daisy nod her head thoughtfully. Collin turned to her and raised his eyebrows.

"Well I suppose that makes sense. I mean, Embry was ready on his third date; Quil probably won't be ready for at least fourteen years. Whatever works for you I guess." I gave her a rare, appreciative smile.

"So basically you hiked a mile to tell him he was right? Tough luck." Owen joked making Daisy laugh. How the hell did he calm down so quickly? Was this kid becoming bi-polar? "So what do you do when you're really good friends with somebody, then you fall in love with them, then you find out they are in fact your soulmate…" He paused and ran his finders through his Jew fro which had begun to grow back. Daisy looked very amused by the story; she probably thought it was cute. "…then you chase them into the woods declaring your undying love for them?"

Remember that look I mentioned? Totally gone! It was wiped off her face and replaced with shock and a little disturbed.

"Well…um, give her time I guess? Don't rush it? Um…Seth-girl trouble?" Owen sighed and began to walk away from the crowd. Seth on the other hand had a big grin on his stupid face.

"Nope, gotta date actually, she asked me to the winter formal in a few weeks."

"Isn't that the guy's job?" Collin laughed. Seth shrugged and Daisy smiled.

"She knows what she wants so is she your…" She asked prompting him with hand motions, Seth shook his head.

"Nah, we're good friends though." He checked his watch. "I probably should get going I need to go meet her." He too dispersed from the group, followed by Collin who was his ride. I sighed and looked at Daisy. She smiled back.

"Let's talk Brady!" I groaned internally, maybe I could catch up to Owen if I ran really fast… "How's Nora?"

"Suspicious." I grumbled, she had linked our arms together, sending a clear message-I'm not getting away.

"Well, she's a smart girl-"

"Genius really." I corrected. I hated to admit it sometimes but Nora really was the smartest person I knew. Daisy beamed.

"It's been what, a month since you imprinted? She's probably expecting an invite to that dance too." Daisy had been homeschooled for most of her life so she didn't really understand what Seth had been talking about/

"That dance is in Forks. We have ours in the end of December; they have it in the beginning." Daisy blushed.

"Still though…"

"Yeah, yeah. No shit I'm asking her. We're going out." I wanted to add 'you know' at the end but I felt it was a bit to redundant. After all, everybody knows.

"So when's your first date? When are you planning on kissing her? She doesn't seem like the first date kinda girl but maybe if you're really smooth about it-"Whoa, this was getting waaaay to uncomfortable. I quickly slipped my arm out from hers.

"Look I need to be going…" She nodded.

"Just don't fuck it up!" She called as I ducked out of the woods.

Xxxx

"So, no signs of life from the Yazzies huh?" Nora was grilling me-again- about Owen. It was the second time we'd hung out this week but I refused to call it a date because I hadn't taken her out yet. We were sitting on the couch in my basement, which was roughly the size of her house I think…

I groaned. "Nora, if anything was up I'd tell you ok? Can we talk about something else for once?" She shrunk away.

"Sorry, he's just…my best friend and he's….he's different now." She said softly. I felt my stomach twist in agony. I hated seeing her upset.

"Well, he has grown a lot." I joked making her punch my shoulder, or lightly swat I can't tell the difference really.

"You know what I mean Brady! He's not friendly, he's not funny, he's not…he's not a dork anymore!" My stomach twisted up even more. I was so kicking Owen's ass after this.

"Well, sorry Norie. I don't know what's wrong with him." A lie. You really shouldn't lie to your imprint, I'm pretty sure my stomach was so twisted it had begun to rip apart. She eyed my suspiciously.

"Well, it all started after he started hanging out with your little group…" Damn it, why is she so smart! I forced myself to remain calm and just shrug.

"He got tired of being the only shrimpy guy in the group I guess." She uncrossed her legs and turned to face me more directly. Here we go, the interrogation has begun.

"Well, what do you guys even do?" She crossed her arms. I rolled my eyes.

"Guy stuff Nora. What do you do with your friends?" I asked hoping to turn the conversation around. No such luck with Nora of course.

"Don't change the subject. Please don't tell me you go cliff diving in December." I shook my head. She sighed in relief and my stomach unclenched itself some.

"Owen doesn't cliff dive." I told her.

"Well thank god!" She said leaning back on to the couch, I casually swung my arm around her.

"You worry too much. Owen's just in a funk or something. He'll get over it." She didn't say anything which quite honestly, made me even more nervous than before. "Look, why don't we go out. I'll take you to eat- anywhere you want."

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, thanks for reminding me, I totally thought you'd go where you wanted." I grinned at her.

"Give, give, give its all I do." She laughed and my stomach untwisted instantaneously. I grabbed her hand and quickly steered her away from going anywhere near my parents. I so did NOT want to have to deal with that. They liked Nora more than my past girlfriends (which isn't saying much) but she still wasn't…evaluated I guess. My parents are NOT the 'welcome to our home have some cookies' type at all.

"So where are we going to go?" I asked her as we got into my car. She shrugged.

"I dunno." She muttered. I groaned.

"Just pick somewhere! Where do you like to eat?"

"Well, I mean, I know you're not a vegetarian…"That surprised me! I guess Nora never did eat meat but…

"You are?" I asked my eyebrows rising. She rolled her eyes.

"Clearly, and like I said I know you're not so I'm not going to take you to some vegan café!" She cried. I shook my head. Did I hate vegan food? Well I'd never had it before, but it did NOT seem appealing at all.

"Vegan café it is! Where is it?" I asked backing out of the driveway.

"No! We don't have to! I mean, I can order a salad at a Chili's or something!" She insisted but I shook my head again.

"We are going where you want to go! Now isn't it called Herbs or something?" I racked my brain for anything that looked close to a vegan restaurant. Nora just shook her head.

"We're not going there! Where do you want to go?" She asked desperately. I let out a laugh.

"I want to go where you want to go!" She let out a huff.

"Fine! Be that way!" I started to laugh again. God she was crazy!

Sorry this is a bit shorter than average! I'll update soon my friends don't worry! Don't forget to leave a review or two!
