Chapter 1

JPOV

Just another day, doing the same thing. How many years would I be in this exact same spot? It didn't matter that the name of the school was different or the people weren't the same. They were all the same. It didn't help that there wasn't one thing these teacher's could tell me that I didn't already know, I think that if one of the teachers taught me something new, my still heart may beat once again. We all filed into the small, poorly lit office. I noted the grey commercial carpet, the maroon folding chairs, a clock on the wall surrounded by various awards, the plastic plants 'growing' out of small plastic pots in the corners, and the desk residing in the corner of the room. Yes, Just the same as the last school. None of this made school seem very appealing, but with Alice there I would plaster a smile on my face. She loved school. Alice's emotions were a buzz. She practically hummed with her first day jitters. Once we had gotten our schedules, I nervously compared mine with Alice's. Only four classes together and lunch. I sighed, a bit put out about it.

"Jazzy, sweetheart, there are only seven classes in a day. Only three apart from me. It's not so bad."

I looked back down to my schedule.

"What's ROTC?"

"Hmmm... not sure. That's new..."

Wow. Something new. I mentally rolled my eyes. Edward snickered.

"I wonder if I asked nicely enough if Carlisle would let me join the football team. I could be gentle I swear!" Emmett exclaimed.

I guffawed. No. He was way too competitive and he had a better chance trying to freeze hell than getting Carlisle to approve that.

"Emmett, if one of the other players tried to tackle you, it would be like running head first into a brick wall. They would shatter all of their bones." Edward reasoned.

"Don't listen to them baby, go for it! And maybe i'll try out for cheerleading."

Emmett wagged his eyebrows suggestively at Rose. Ugh. Edward locked eyes with me, obviously agreeing. These too were determined to make a spectacle of us.
