I don't own Twilight.

My family and I were all sitting in our usual seats in the back of the class room. Class was starting late because our teacher was out doing something.
It has been years since we left Forks. We were back in Alaska for the time being. Rose and I were playing twins again;Emmett, Edward, Nessie, and Alice were being the Cullens. Edward and Nessie could pass as twins because of their physical similarities. The was no other way to explain it. Bella was keeping her maiden name for now and pretending to be Alice's cousin. The person that was the hardest to explain was Jacob. He didn't look like any of us. So the story for him was that he was Nessie's boyfriend who she met when we moved here.
Edward and Alice were looking at each other very intently. I could tell by the mood coming out of Alice that she was telling him something. Edward's face became puzzled then it cleared up to humored. They both began to laugh hard.
What's so funny? I asked.
"You'll find out," Edward said between laughs.
I raised one of my eye brows and looked over at my wife. She delicately snorted and didn't say anything to me.
Bella and Nessie were sharing a book and started giggling. "What?" I asked.
Nessie shook her head so fast that her auburn curls were shaking back and forth across her face. "Nothing, Uncle Jasper," she whispered so low that only our family could hear. Bella passed her book onto Emmett who had to contain himself so that his laughter wouldn't shake the classroom.
"Emmett, what?"
Before he could answer me, our teacher, Mr. Hollis, walked in. "All right ladies and gentlemen. Today we are gonna talk about the confederate part of the civil war. So if you turn to page 325 in your books, we will begin talking about Major Jasper Whitlock."
What?!
My family started laughing so hard. The entire class turned around to face us. "Mr. Hale? Is there something going on that you wish to tell the class."
"No, sir." It was hard to be angry with all this humor emanating out of my family.
"All right, then. As I was saying, we wil be speaking about Major Jasper Whitlock. According to history, he was a very charismatic thing. Supposedly he pass through the ranks in no time, even though he was much younger than the rest of the men."
Edward leaned over to whisper in my ear. "Can you believe this guy?"
I hissed at him. I didn't want to have to be told my history from someone who was probably going to get it wrong.
Our teacher continued. "Supposedly, Mr. Whitlock was married with three kids to a lovely woman in Texas. Her name was," he checked in the book, "ah, yes. Maria!"
My jaw dropped at this. He did not just say that. My family started to double over in laughter. I was ready to strangle this human, but I had to behave for the sake of my family. But if this kept up, we would be moving out of here faster than you could say Volturi.
My wife leaned across the table to talk to me. "Jazz, have you been cheating on me?" She said with a smile in her voice. I knew she was joking, but this lesson was really starting to get under my cold, stone skin.
"Now, I'm a yankee. I honestly can't stand reading anything about Confederates, but, to be honest, Jasper Whitlock is the only one I'm interested in reading."
"Why is that?" a girl in the front row asked.
"According to legend, Jasper Whitlock found three women walking on the street by themselves one night, and they killed him." My entire family turned towards me, but my eyes were locked on the teacher as he continued. "Supposedly though, these three women were vampires." My jaw dropped. "But, psh, that's just the story. I just think he couldn't take the pressure of being in the army and went AWOL."
My family all laughed even harder then before. I couldn't believe he had just said that. I looked to the clock and we still had another 45 minutes left. Would this class ever be over?
Yes? No? Should I continue? Comment would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
