Embry had kept to his words-that were said by Juliet years ago. Maya's claim on Juliet's first day had definitely held to its fame. Everyone watched and everyone talked about the new interest of their day in school, which was Embry and Juliet.

They would watch Embry approach Juliet with a signature smirk they had given the name of 'Juliet Exclusive'. It was like the students recorded everything with their eyes every time the pair of them exchanged words or either of them laughed even as far to them silently cheering them on.

It was not all that simple for them though, besides those positive remarks and eyes, there were the negative ones. Jealousy, from the girls who wanted Embry which left sneers and glares Juliet's way.

Regardless of their vulgar stares and remarks, it was not going to change anything for Embry Call. Because she was all he ever cared about, he never had anyone before or after her, but he knew he wanted to spend his life with her. It was forward of him especially since they were not in a relationship, but he just knew she was the one, and it was not the imprinting telling him that.

Before Juliet came into his life, he never expected to have these warm feelings ever. Especially with his mom, who had shared her opinion on how love was fickle and unkind. She had not been able to be with the one she loved because he was fated with another, so she gave up on loving again.

So, it was natural for Embry to feel the same growing up constantly being told that by his only parent figure. Though knowing his father was one of the elders had already made his mind go into turmoil. He wanted to know but he also didn't care at the same time, because in most of it all, he had a family. The pack was his brothers and that was more than enough.

"Juliet!" Embry called through the halls easily finding her through the crowd of people in the school corridors. She turned to him as he made his way over to her

"Embry, it's nice seeing you" She teased," Again that is"

He smiled sheepishly as she chuckled softly," I told you, Stubborn" He pointed to himself adjusting his bag on his back trying to keep his nerves calm. Despite him approaching her often, he always ended up being nervous, and her being calm as usual.

"So" She spoke up at the silence," Did you want to ask me something?" She asked watching his movements, making him try and brush off his nervousness

"Um, I was wondering if you were free tomorrow night?" He finally asked.

Normally the days went with them just speaking about class, or just about anything that came to mind. He wanted to wait for the right moment to actually ask her out.

"Yeah, I am actually," She told him and he smiled lowering his voice only for her to hear his next words

"Would you like to join me tomorrow? The elders are going to have their monthly storytelling of the Legends, and I would like you to experience it firsthand"

Juliet lit up in excitement at the idea," I would love to join you, Embry"

"Awesome! I'll pick you up tomorrow at Six"

She nodded but then grabbed his wrist as he was going to walk away," Why don't you walk with me, since we have the next class together" He gladly took the offer and the pair of them walked side by side 'smiling like idiots' Jacob whispered but Embry heard it loud and clear making him turn to the direction his friend was sending a sharp glare telling him he was going to pay for that comment.
