"Wake up, sweet heart" my mother whispered from the doorway. I yawned and stretched, punching Jacob in the face by accident.

"Shit!" he exclaimed. I giggled and gave him an apologetic smile. He rolled his eyes. "I hope I don't have to wake up to that every morning," he said and rolled over.

I smiled widely.

"It's my first day of school." I said quietly. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. I grinned and put my feet on the floor.

As soon as I had, Alice was in my bedroom.

"Follow me!" she squeaked, and pulled me down the hallway to her bedroom. Though, I wouldn't call it a bedroom. Her and Jasper shared a room. Basically, it was a storage space for Alice's overflowing wardrobe, as well as Jasper's computer. Alice opened the door to her closet, which was bigger than the room. In one split second, there was a pair of clothes in my arms. I stripped out of my pyjamas and slipped the pair of jeans on, as well as the t-shirt and the sweater. I walked over to the mirror. To my surprise, I actually looked good.

"Ah ah ah. Just wait, I'm not finished with you yet"

"But I--" I looked at her confused.

"Yes you were. Now," she said, walking across the room, vampire speed. She put a pair of earrings into my palm, and I put them in my ears while she went through her makeup purse. "Sit down." she commanded me, and I obeyed, sitting down on the couch in the corner of the room. Eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, lip gloss. "Okay, now you can go." She smiled at me. I looked at her apprehesively, before getting up and looking in the mirror.

I smiled widely. "Did I ever tell you that you're my favourite aunty?" I asked her, running to her and giving her a hug. She laughed.

"I think you might have, a few times." she said.

I walked back towards my bedroom and opened the door a bit. Jacob was still there. I ran to the bed and jumped onto it. The bed was very bouncy. I thought to thank Esme for getting it for me later on.

"Wake up!" I yelled at Jacob. He kept his eyes closed, but smiled. He grabbed my hand and pulled me down beside him. "Now, please." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Okay, okay" he groaned and sat up. I kissed him again and hopped up, running to the stairs and hopping onto the railing, sliding down and standing up before jumping and landing perfectly on the floor at the bottom. Rosalie clapped.

"So you've perfected it, then?" she asked. I laughed.

"Yep, What do you think?" I asked her.

"Looks great!"

I grinned and grabbed her hand, pulling her into the dining room with me.

The dining room was perfect, and even more so, seeing as Jacob and I, and the rest of the pack sometimes, were the only ones who actually ate. I sat down across from my mother. Beside her sat my father. Beside him sat Rosalie and Emmett. Across from Rosalie sat Jasper, and to his left sat Alice. Carlisle sat at the head of the table, farthest from me. Esme put a plate of bacon and eggs infront of me, and one beside me for Jacob.

"Must I eat this?" I asked, poking the bacon with my fork.

"Yes, you must." Said Esme, sitting down beside me. "You have to get used to eating human food if you want to go to school."

"But you don't eat food." I retorted. She smiled. "But it doesn't have any nutritional value for us. It does for you."

"If you say so." I said, cutting off a piece of my egg and putting it in my mouth.

Jacob sat down beside me, taking his fork and knife and digging in. He was done and asking for seconds within a minute. Esme stood up and took Jacob's plate to get him seconds. He was done 3 plates before I was done mine. "Would you like seconds?" Esme asked me. I shook my head. She nodded and smiled. Jacob looked at me and raised his eyebrow.

"How can you NOT like this?" he asked me.

"Well," I tapped my chin with my index finger. "Let's see. My parents are vampires, and to vampires, eating food is like eating dirt." Jacob shrugged. Carlisle spoke.

"We have to get this straight. Since Nessie is going to school this year. We have to make the plan a bit different." He said, looking around at everyone. We all nodded. "Rosalie and Jasper, you're twin brother and sister. You're the Hales. Foster kids. Alice and Emmett, you're Cullens, adopted. Edward and Renesmee. You're brother and sister. Renesmee is a year younger than Edward. She can pull it off. You're the Masens. Bella, you're Bella Swan, And Jacob, you're Jacob Black. You're all foster kids." He sighed. "Our family's abnormally large, especially with Esme and I as your parents, it's suspicious. I don't know how long we'll live here. I've picked up a job at the closest hospital." Everybody nodded.

We now lived in a disgusting town up in northern Canada, where the sun hardly ever shone. Especially in winter. In the summer we go on vacation, back to La Push so Jacob can spend his time both with me and the rest of the pack.

Speaking of Jacob, he fits right in here. 90 of this town are native, and lots of them are tall and have long hair. The other 10 are pale because of the small amount of sunlight they get.

Thompson, Manitoba. Seriously. What posessed Carlisle to choose to live HERE for a couple of years? Oh well.

I looked over because dad- I mean Edward- gave me a quick glance. I smiled. He smiled back.

"Well," said Carlisle. "I'm off to work. You guys should be at the highschool by 8:30. Class starts at 8:45 here." Again, everyone nodded.

The only thing that didn't fit in about us was our cars. I rode to school with my mother, father, and Jacob, in a brand new porsche. Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper rode to school in a black mercedes.

"Are you excited?" Jacob asked me. I shrugged. My father looked at Jacob and said, "She's nervous." I rolled my eyes.

"Da-- Edward, could you please refrain from reading my mind, or at least refrain from speaking it out loud?" I asked him.

He nodded. I smiled.

R.D. Parker Collegiate, was what the high school was called. Large. About 1500 students. A big chunk of them did drugs. The other chunk seemed suicidal.

All of us walked in together. Everybody was staring at Jacob, probably wondering what he was doing hanging around with a bunch of white kids. Dad was glaring at the boys that had taken an interest to me. I kept a smile on my face.

Dad and I walked into the office first, while everyone else waited in the hall. The office was conveniently just to the right of the main entrance. We sat in the chairs by the wall. "Mr. and Miss. Mason." Said the secretary. We nodded and stood up in unison. I smiled. "These are your schedules and your locker numbers and combinations." she said, handing two sheets of paper to each of us. I nodded.

"Thank you." We both said in unison. She nodded and we both walked out of the office. Before going off to find our lockers, Alice and Emmett were on their way into the office. We turned left from the entrance way. There were grad pictures placed in rows on the wall before entering the hall with the lockers. Conveniently, our lockers were beside eachother, and the right height. I put my bag into my locker and looked at my schedule. Pre-calculus first class. Perfect, math. Room 204. I turned the paper over, and a map of the school was on the back. I quickly memorised the map and put it, along with my schedule into my pocket.

"We don't have the same class together" my dad said. I nodded. "I have ELA, which I'm assuming is english, on the other side of the school than your class. Good luck" he said and gave me a hug. I hugged him back and nodded before he made his way to the other side of the school. Before I knew it, Jacob was by my side again.

"What do you have first class? I have pre-cal. I've actually gotten quite good at it, you know, after learning it a couple times now." He smiled. I smiled back.

"I have pre-cal too." I said.

"Then it's settled. I'm walking you to class." He announced. I laughed and grabbed my binder, closing my locker. Jacob wrapped his arm around my back. I touched his hand, and showed him how I was feeling--very nervous. He grinned. "Don't worry." He said. "We're all here for you, and you're smart enough to pass all your classes anyways."

"But that's not what I'm afraid of." I replied. "It's all the people. I've never been in this big of a crowd before." Again, his goofy grin caught me off guard.

"Well, lucky for you, you haven't had a whole 16 years of not being around people. It's only really been seven. You'll get used to it." he laughed. I forced a laugh too. When we arrived at the classroom, it was empty. I put my binder at the back of the class and sat down. Jacob sat beside me. Slowly the rest of the class began to file in. To my surprise, Alice and Jasper walked in and sat infront of Jacob and I. Alice turned around and gave me an excited smile.

"Come on, Alice. You must've done this a million times." I said.

"Yes, but it's always a bit different. And it's always exciting." I laughed at her enthusiasm.

Abruptly, the chatter in the classroom stopped as the teacher walked in. He was a tall, balding man wearing an old-style pair of glasses. Alice rolled her eyes and turned back to the front. I could tell that she had seen him telling her to turn around. He didn't introduce himself, he only started his lesson. I pulled out my notebook and started taking notes, for something to do. 11th grade was going to be easy, I thought to myself. When the bell rang, the four of us held back and let the rest of the class file out.

I had my next class alone. It was art, which I enjoyed more than anything in this world. My calling. The only class I truly felt I learnt something in that day. The teacher spent about 20 minutes giving us different art forms, and then she put us to work.

The only thing I didn't like, was that now that Jacob wasn't with me, all the guys were oggling me. I kept to myself, and stayed quiet.

At lunch, I sat down at an empty table with eight seats. A long rectangular table. I didn't even bother to get a tray. I put my head down on the table, and when I looked up, Jacob was standing there. His tray over-flowing with some gross-looking food. Everybody else sat down one by one after him. "You really should eat." my mother told me.

"I'm not hungry." I replied.

"What's wrong?" she asked, putting her hand on the table. I touched her hand and sent her pictures of my day, showing her how I found out that not all men were like the men in my family. Most of them were immature perverts. I showed her how utterly boring it was, other than art class. She looked at me with no expression. "I guess you just have to get used to it." She told me. I nodded. "But for now, you should just eat." She told me. I shook my head, and she nodded.

Most of the time, my mother really was the only one that understood me. Well, and my dad, because he could read my mind. And Alice, because she knew what was happening to me, and what was going to happen to me. Oh, and Jasper, because he can control emotions. So.. Nevermind. Just about everybody understands me.

Out of nowhere, I burst out into laughter. People at the surrounding tables looked over and raised their eyebrows, while others who were already staring just looked away. My father started laughing along with me. And then the whole table was laughing, for no reason at all. After a few minutes, the laughter died down. "So what was that about?" Jacob asked me. I smiled at him.

"Well I was thinking like some.. well, for lack of a better word, emo. And thinking nobody understood me. But then I realised just about everyone here does.. And, well, it was funny." My smile widened. He rolled his eyes.

"Bella, are you sure bipolar disorder doesn't run in your family?" Jacob asked. She laughed.

"I'm quite sure" she replied.

"Anyways," I started, "I'm going to go get a muffin or something. I'll be right back." I got up and stood in line for the muffins. On my way back to the table, I noticed all the guys staring at me. I had this overcoming urge to swear at them, but I held back. I'd never even swore before. The only one who swore was Jacob.

When I sat down, Jacob was growling. I guess dad told him what the guys were thinking. I smiled at Jacob.

"Don't worry about it." I told him. "I have a family of vampires, and a were-wolf boyfriend. They won't stand a chance." I grinned. He tried to smile back. I rolled my eyes.

"It's not that." He said.

I looked at him, confused.

"There's another vampire here."
