-1A/N- I highly suggest that whoever is reading this, read Nessie's Birthday Extravaganza first. This is number two in a set of three I'm thinking of doing. I want to thank all my readers for staying with me, and giving me your great reviews!

Disclaimer: I own nothing twilight related. Some of the characters in the school chapters are mine, however.

Pictures of importance are posted in my profile.

Chapter One

Biology and Boys

The school was larger than Forks' school had been. I glanced up at it as my father pulled in. It was September 3rd, first day of school. We parked next to Emmett's gigantic jeep and the eight of us met in the middle. Already people were staring our way. I smoothed out my dress and looked up at my dad. "We'll be ok? Right?"

I was nervous about being the only freshman. But Mom had enrolled me in some advanced classes to be with her and the rest of the sophomore gang. My dad nodded. "Just remember the character you're playing as." As we walked into the office, Jasper was making jokes to Emmett about the lowly freshman. I glared at him.

The woman in the office practically drooled over the 4 men…um…boys…in the room. My father couldn't help but smiling as he obviously heard her thoughts. She handed each one of us a schedule and map of the school, and we walked out together, prepared to part ways, at least temporarily.

People stared as we stood in the hall, comparing schedules. What were these eight beautiful people doing in our school? I heard the whispers, heard the speculations. I squeezed Nahuel's hand and he smiled at me reassuringly. My mom hugged me and promised we'd all meet up in between classes. In a daze I nodded and walked down the hall to my first class. Biology. All by myself.

EPOV

I watched Ness wander off towards her first class, and felt sorry for her. She was dazed, and overwhelmed. I only hoped she could pull it off. Nahuel watched her go with a frown. He didn't like the fact that she was alone. I understood.

Smiling at my wife I gently squeezed her hand. "Ready to go…Bella?" Bella nodded and with Nahuel we walked off towards math. Rose and Emmet, joined by Jasper, headed to history, something Emmett couldn't stop laughing about. Jasper…in history. Hell…he WAS history.

And Alice had to go to English…again, all by herself. But she didn't mind, her thoughts were on her little niece.

NPOV

Oh. My. God. The smell of blood lingered in my nose, my throat itched ever so slightly as I made my way through the halls. I could feel the eyes on me. It was crazy how many people stared as I made my way through the freshman wing. I had practiced with Jasper on how to look human. To walk slow, not too graceful. To not move too quickly, or act too strong.

As I entered my classroom, biology…joy, the teacher greeted me with a sincere smile. "Welcome. You're one of the new students everyone's gossiping about. Have a seat, today we're going over the syllabus and new school year garbage." I smiled at him and took my seat near a window. Looking across the courtyard, I had to laugh. Emmett was in the classroom across the tiny lawn from me, sitting next to Jasper and Rose. He was making faces at me through the window. I made a face back.

A boy sat down next to me. "Hi."

Great. I smiled up at him, careful not to dazzle. "Hello."

He looked me up and down. Pig. "So you're one of the new chicks."

I nodded slowly. "I am."

He stuck his hand out to me, and I shook it politely. "My name is John."

John…how boring of a name. "My name is Ness."

John smiled at me. "So…what's the deal with your family?"

Bored already I turned to face him. "We're foster kids." I smelt his blood running through his veins, and ignored it. Proud of myself I turned away and opened up my notes. The teacher started class, welcoming everyone to a new school year. John wrote me a note, asking for my number. I politely shook my head and wrote back.

Sorry…I'm not single.

He frowned.

Oh. You made a boyfriend already?

No…I brought mine with me. Look, I'm just really not that interested. But thanks for thinking about me…

Oh. Um…sure. No problem, I guess.

I smiled to myself and turned back to the teacher. Let him think about that one for a bit. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched Emmett doodle a picture and hold it up to me. My keen eyesight picked up the drawing immediately. It was him punching a stick figure boy in the face. The letters J-O-H-N printed above it's head. I stifled a giggle and shook my head ever so slightly. He frowned and was smacked in the head by Rose.

The bell rang and I quickly gathered my stuff and ran out the door, into the hallway, towards the family's bunch of lockers. Nahuel was already waiting for me, leaning against my locker. Once again, my heart skipped a beat as I saw him. His long black hair was down and straight, and his dark eyes shined as he watched me approach.

I leaned against the locker. "How was class?"

Nahuel shrugged and nodded hello to Jasper as he joined us. "The girls wouldn't stop staring at me."

Jasper laughed. "Get used to it. If you could feel the lust surrounding these teenage girls…" I shuddered and leaned into Nahuel, whispering in his ear.

"If I were in your class, I wouldn't be able to stop staring either." He grinned at me and winked.

Jasper rolled his eyes and kissed Alice on the lips as she joined us. I heard a few girls sigh in realization that Jasper was off the market. Alice grinned and nibbled on his lip. "Make them jealous Jazzy."

He laughed and pulled away. "Down girl." Turning to me he smiled. "How was Bio?"

I rolled my eyes. "I got hit on." My father joined us with Bella. He shook his head as I told them my story. Emmett laughed and opened his locker.

"Hey. I volunteered to punch him in the face." Rose sighed and winked at her husband. My mother looked at her schedule. "I have Study Hall next. Does anyone else?"

To my amazement, everyone nodded. Alice cheered and did a little celebration dance. Study halls meant we could go outside. It was an overcast day, so we'd be safe. We all headed out to the courtyard and sat down at the bench, ignoring the other students in our area that were staring at us.

The day dragged slowly. All my other classes had at least one other of my family in it. So that was good…but learning stuff I already knew made things boring. Finally it was lunch, and hand-in-hand, me and Nahuel walked from our English class to the cafeteria. Alice had already scoped out a table far from the others and motioned us over. We each grabbed some food to make it LOOK like we ate.

Jasper was fidgety, his eyes slightly darker than I thought they should be. Alice, frowning as she watched him, gently squeezed his thigh, and I lightly touched his hand, sending him reassuring messages. He growled low under his breath.

Nahuel nuzzled my hair. "You're being stared at, Ness." I turned and groaned. John. Emmett laughed as he sat down with us, dragging Rose onto his lap. Edward and Bella…I couldn't think of them as mom and dad right now…sat down right after. Edward had an amused look on his face.

"We're the talk of the school…that's for sure."

Emmett grinned and started singing heartbreaker. I bit into my apple, it was one of the few solid foods I liked. Nahuel grinned at me and bit a chunk out of my apple. He had grabbed a cookie, something else we both liked. I slapped at his hand and snatched his cookie away. Edward watched our playful fighting, an amused look on his face.

Jasper was watching us closely too, watching how I smiled when Nahuel held the cookie up out of my reach. A note flew over my head and landed on the table.

Rose grabbed it and started reading, a smile forming. "Oh this is too good."

Dear new family.

Welcome! Um…like, are you all related? Cuz if so, then…why are you like, couples? We were just curious. And um…Rosalie…I love your hair.

My parents snickered as Rosalie crunched the paper into her fist and threw it over her shoulder. "Let's not make friends."

TBC.
