I Didn't Want An Imprint (Paul Lahote x Reader)

First Day of School

Today was the day. Your very first day at your new school after only a few days of unpacking and getting accustomed to La Push. To say you were nervous was an understatement.

Your parents had turned your entire world upside down by forcing you to go and live in La Push with your grandparents while they traveled for work. It wasn't that you didn't LOVE your grandparents or anything, but, you had left all of your friends and the life you once knew back in Texas, and now you were being forced into a new school on reservation with a bunch of kids that you didn't know and a new life you didn't even ask for or agree to.

"Deep breath, Y/N" you nervously whispered to yourself before getting out of your grandpa's old Chevy he so graciously gifted to you to officially welcome you to town. As you headed up to the front of the school, you kept your eyes low, glancing up only every few seconds to make sure you didn't run into anyone.

As the front of the school came closer in your vision, the crowd of students began to thicken, and you frantically began looking around for some sort of sign to point you in the right direction of the administration office. You whipped your head to the right only to see more students talking in their friend groups about their weekend, and you couldn't help the pang of jealousy you felt in wishing your friends were here with you.

"Jared, you idiot!"

You quickly turned your head to the left where you heard the loud girly shriek coming from to see a girl with long brown hair and a purple hair barrette on each side of her head to help keep her hair pinned in place, struggling to pry herself from two muscular arms of a russet skin boy who wore a huge grin upon his face. Next to the assumed couple was a tall lanky boy of the same russet skin color who laughed along with the first boy at the fun torment of the girl. The lanky boy tapped the third and final boy in the group to get his attention at what was happening.

Now this boy...(or man?) was the most handsome of the three, with the least friendliest face. He stared intently at his phone seemingly ignoring the horseplay happening less than 3 feet beside him, but his attention was soon taken away from his phone as another girl entered the group. Her hair was longer than the first girl, and had a slight loose curl look. Her pink backpack was thrown over one shoulder, but was quickly thrown to the wayside as she approached the third boy, wrapping her arms around his neck and going in for a tight embrace. The third boy seemed to lose the hard-ass face he once held, and you tore your gaze away right before he noticed you staring. You regained your focus and continued straight ahead to the admin office to receive your schedule and books before heading off to your first class.

TIME SKIP

Your first 4 classes of the day seemed to fly by with only a few awkward introductions to your classmates that your teachers forced and getting lost trying to find your classes . Now it was time for lunch, and you had honestly dreaded this moment all day due to your lack of friends to sit with.

As you entered the lunch line, you saw the same group of russet skin boys and the two girls sitting at a table off to the side, with one extra curly headed boy added in sitting next to the lankier one from earlier. You caught yourself staring again, but managed to miss the gaze of the hard-ass who was facing you as his assumed girlfriend snuggled up next to him.

"Hey! You're the new girl, right?" Your eyes met a familiar face from your second period, and a sense of comfort washed over you at the thought of possibly having a friend.

"Yeah..Y/N. My name is Y/N." You responded with an outreached hand.

His handshake was firm. "Chaz. Chaz Smith. Nice to meet ya! Come sit with us?" He pointed over to a table with 2 other boys and a girl who looked like they were in a semi-intense debate. You nodded and followed behind Chaz to the table.
