I don't own Twillight, Stephenie Meyer is my goddess, I admire her so much.

Sorry for any spelling mistakes. Please review I promise to update as soon as I can.

Cadium Elizabeth Cullen

"Caddy!" my father's voice boomed through the house, "Cadium Elizabeth Cullen, I know you're there!" I just rolled over in my hiding spot pretending not to hear him.

"I know you can here me." he said barely above a whisper.

"Ha!" a cool white hand curled around my mouth to stop me from screaming, "I told you she'd be here Emmet" Jasper sounded triumphant, "Oh Edward!"

"I hate you guys!" I hissed at them, "Why are you doing this to me?" I squirmed against Jasper's tight hold around my waist. "You know as soon as they're through with me Alice will insist on a makeover."

"We know." said Emmet grinning, I just scowled at him.

"Jasper? Is she in there?" my mother asked lightly gliding into the kitchen. "Here she is Bella." he proclaimed pushing me forward.

I tried to make a run for it as soon as he let go of me, but mom was at my side in an instant holding on to my shoulder practically growling, "Not so fast Cadium, you're coming with me."

My father was already waiting in the living room. "Cadium..." he tapped his foot lightly as Mom dragged me in, "Your mother and I think it's time we enrolled you at the public high school, after the little stunt you pulled yesterday we are hesitant to leave you alone."

What???

This was something I was not expecting, of course after nearly destroying his entire CD collection and almost burning the house down (Emmet's idea!) I expected him to be mad.

No-Furious.

And I know by now my father's just the teensiest bit prone to over-reaction...

But High School was something I hadn't anticipated.

Relax, He's just a little angry, just trying to scare you with all this school talk, he'd never send you to school, relax.

I tried to calm myself.

It didn't work, "he's just a little angry" yeah right I think we already established he was furious.

"But technically I wasn't alone dad, Emmet was there too." I tried to convince him.

He snorted, "Yeah Emmet, oh I'm sure he was tons of help." Well I couldn't exactly disagree with him there.

"Besides sweetie we can't keep taking sick days to watch over you." Mom mentioned behind me.

Oh yeah, of course take dad's side.

"So then stop taking sick days, I don't need a baby-sitter." I whinned.

They both laughed.

"Even without Emmet's help I'm sure you could have gotten in enough trouble." Dad said, shoulders still shaking a bit from their little laughing fit.

I scowled, they had won this one, and they both knew it.

"Then it's settled, Carlisle is at the school right now enrolling their newest student, Cadium Cullen."

"You knew that you'd win?" I spluttered astonished, I could be just as stubborn and persuasive as my parents when I wanted to be.

"It was a punishment sweetie, not a request." my mother said softly.

This was unbelievable, Dad was just upset about his precious CDs almost getting destroyed- key word being "almost"- couldn't they just force me to eat food or something?

Even a half vampire like me is disgusted by human food.

But I believe that would be less painful than school.

For my entire life, we have been jumping from town to town, at first my mom didn't want to go to school because she was afraid I would put down roots somewhere and then just have to leave again in the interest of keeping our family's secret, the fact that we're all vampires (or half vampires in my case), a secret. Then there was the fact that I could multiply two digit numbers in my head by the time I was seven. (Not your typical second grader)

I just wouldn't fit in, my parents knew that.

But the truth was, I didn't want to go to school or spend more time than necessary with humans my age.

Slow, dull, predictable, humans.

It was much more fun spending the day with Emmet planning our next prank (Dad was his favorite target but Jasper was fun too- until he made you super depressed that is), or Rosalie working on cars, or even mom sometimes following her and Esme around the garden talking about books we'd read and stuff.

Dad and Jasper could be fun too (when they weren't mad at you about the last prank you pulled)- and Alice, until she got all, "I've got the day off anyway, why not spend it at the mall?"

If there was one thing I hated more than humans it was shopping. Alice says I get it from Mom.

So there I was a fifteen year old stubborn (mother), persuasive (father), playful (Emmet), slightly arrogent (Rosalie), ruthless (Jasper) half-vampire.

And tomorrow was my first day of school.

"Caddy!" Alice called down to me, "No Alice! Please not today." I whinned. I heard her impatient sigh even though we were two floors apart, "I already saw you giving into me, so could we please not go through this today?" Two defeats in one morning, so far this was not turning into a good day. "Oh Caddy, tomorrow's your first day of school you have to let me give you a makeover!" her voice rang with an easy victory.

I should have figured she'd seen.

"Fine." I grumbled, "Yay!" Alice flew down the stairs. "I was thinking we could-"

"No Haircuts!" I commanded slapping the hand that had drifted up to tug the bottom of a lock of my redish-brown hair (my mom says I get it from my father).

"Ouch." said Alice rubbing the hand I slapped, "That hurt."

I snorted, "Yeah right you didn't even feel it."

I swore I heard my father laughing in the living room as I stomped up the stairs Alice at my side babbling about how it really was technically a makeover without a haircut.

xoxoxoxox

"You really can't blame him Caddy, most of those CDs are irreplacable." Alice interrupted me halfway through my "I-hate-my-parents" rant. Why was everyone taking their side?

I yawned, the makeover had literally taken all day, and then flooded into the night.

"You're going to have to let me go sometime Alice, I need my sleep-big day tomorrow. Wouldn't want to get too excited."

She laughed at the last part, but I could see her on the verge of releasing me.

"Well, if you must go..."

"I must."

"Just try not to thrash around too much." she sighed poking one of the many curlers she had attached to my had.

Geesh, those were going to be uncomfortable.

"I'll try my best." I promised sliding off the chair she had set up in her bathroom and dashing out the door.

I opened my bedroom door slowly, waiting to see if my parents were planning on ambushing me with another punishment to add to my list.

My room was empty.

On my bed lay a pair of dark-wash jeans, a light pink blouse, and a grey sweater. At the foot of the bed a pair of black ballet flats sat expectantly.

Alice.

"Oh stop feeling so depressed!" Jasper snapped walking by.

"Not my fault your a freak of nature." I muttered barely audible to myself, I knew he heard.

"Come on Caddy, school can be fun." Rosalie this time. I wanted to snap her neck.

"fun" yeah right.
