A/N= this story is co-written by my friends. Daina and Umaima. I came up with the story line but they finished it and we all planned out what happened. My "beta" is Umaima. A.k.a. maimadevil. Thank-you for reading.

Daina's p.o.v
"Damn school sucks!"
I had just gotten out of science. My dumb-ass teacher decided to finally hand back our
Reports, more than eight days late, I might add. I passed with an over-achieving 97% while Umaima got a 72%. And to her that was a fail.
"God teachers just live to hate me!"
"Dude! Calm the hell down! It is one test and you still got higher than Taylor so don't worry." She looked confused.
"What did Taylor get"? I smiled.
"Well…"
Flashback
"Daina"!!!!
I turned around to see Taylor running towards me with a smile. I looked in her hand and saw that she was holding the science test.
"She finally handed it back! I got a 70%! Can you believe it"? I looked at her then ripped the paper out of her hands.
"Oh my god!!! Taylor that's awesome I'm proud of you congratulations"! She beamed up at me. I gave her a huge hug and she smiled before running off to tell Gagan and Kelsey who were just down the hallway.
End flashback
Umaima looked at me and rolled her eyes. We continued on our way to Taylor's locker. Taylor and Umaima and I have been friends since grade three when we all moved here. I moved from California while Taylor and Umaima moved here from a small town in Washington, Forks.
I was born in California. My life consisted of sand, water, and sun. Then I moved to Calgary. Holy shit, what a change! The snow and rain and cold weather all together sucked at first. Then I came to school and my first couple days sucked. Half the school was away at band camp and even though I was in band, I was to late because the bus left at 7:00 am and I got there ten minutes too late.
When the kids got back I noticed that Taylor and Umaima were the only people who were smiling at me. Then they were bombarded with hugs. All I could here was their names being shouted over and over. Then Taylor looked over at me and ran to me and said "your Daina right?" I was like "yeah", so she pulls me over to her friends and says, "Here is Daina. She will now be our friend and she is now eating lunch with us." I was very scared at first what they would say to me then they all smiled. Then they Umaima Ran up to me and said, "You're my new best friend". I was shocked to say the least but after about two weeks I felt like I fit in.
As you can tell we all became friends very quickly, now we are all practically inseparable. I soon found out the name names of the kids that were hanging with us.
There was Kelsey who was dating Kody. Gagan who was dating matt and Jenna who I clicked with right away. But unfortunately she moved away to Michigan last year. We were all friends but high school took some tolls on all of us. We – thankfully- got through it. It made us stronger.
We found Taylor at her locker talking to Kelsey and Matt.
"Grapes are better because they are healthy."
Matt was yelling at Taylor and she looked beyond amused. Kelsey just watched the show. Taylor looked at Matt.
"So is cheese".
Matt looked taken back. He thought about it for a while. Then the invisible light bulb went off in his head.
"But Grapes are purple!"
Taylor had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. He saw that she couldn't talk and decided he had won so he looked smug. She smiled sweetly.
"Matt, my dear naïve Matt, cheese is orange. Grapes are purple which one looks more appetizing. The sun or that weird guy from McDonalds?"
Matt looked at her before he sighed defeated. With that Taylor had one.
"So hahahahaha! Cheese is more important than grapes."
What? Oh no she didn't!
"Excuse me little misguided! Cheese and grapes are equal; one could not live with out the other they make each other whole! Deal with the fact that you can't win. Neither a piece of cheese or a grape can cancel the other one out. It's like saying ten to the power of zero and one are not the same thing."
They all looked at me and blinked for a few seconds then they burst out laughing. As soon as I realized what I said I was on the floor with the rest of them. Then the bell rang signaling first period we all gave each other a hug and ran, Matt tripping and Kelsey laughing while taking her foot back in and running. We all laughed again then left. Got to love my friends.
Taylor's p.o.v.
That was the funniest before-first period ever! My friends were so awesome. Then again I still have to say that having them all with boyfriends is a little weird. That's why I like to hang around with Daina and Umaima so much. Were like three peas in a pod. I am so happy I have them although the reason that I have Umaima here with me is really unfortunate.
Umaima and I have been buddies since we were born. Our moms were in the hospital beds next to each other and they had us six days apart. Our parents and us were inseparable.
When Umaima was four years old her parents got in a car crash and neither of them survived. Since Umaima and me were so close my mom and step dad adopted her. When we were eight we moved to Calgary to create a new life. It was fun here and the weather was not really that much different. When we came here in third grade we met all of our friends. Umaima and I never really had a problem with shyness. We were both really outgoing. We get it from our friends back home. I miss them and I know Umaima does to. I still remember when we left.
Flashback
"Please don't go!"
Alice yelled holding my legs while she begged. Edward was on my other leg while Jasper and Rosalie were on Umaima's. Emmett and Jacob were trying to hold their breath until we said we would stay but always ended up taking huge breaths and then trying again. Esme and Carlisle were watching from the steps and trying to hold in their tears as they watched their children cry.
We had just told them all that we were leaving today and they were – obviously- devastated. It sucked and we tried to get our parents to refuse but of course they were stuck in their ways. I hated the fact that I might never see them again and especially Jacob, he was like the big brother I never had. Alice was the one person who could always cheer me up when I was sad. Edward always knew what to say he was like my own personal therapist. He was no match for Jasper however because Jasper always knew. Rosalie made me feel pretty. Emmett was my first crush.
This was my home and I had to leave. It wasn't fair and we had told them a week ago and they didn't cry like this but I guess it just finally hit that we were never coming back. And I will never see my Best friends again. Why does god hate me?
End Flashback
That was one of the hardest days of my life and I remember it like yesterday. Funny how you always remember bad things that happen and have to try hard to remember the good.
I finally got to my science class and the teacher called me to her desk. Of course my first thought was what did I do wrong. But it was quite the opposite. She was smiling at me.
What the hell!?
" So Taylor, I wanted to say congratulations on the test might I say that it was by far one of the best tests you have ever taken?"
"Oh my, uh, wow thank-you Mrs. Smith. It means a lot to me. So is that all"? I really wanted to get back to my seat.
"No I was actually hoping that you wouldn't mind helping a new student? He is brand new and you have been here the longest. I will give you extra credit!" the truth was she was only offering extra credit because no one wanted to be stuck showing some new kid around. I sighed.
"Sure Mrs. Smith." She smiled gratefully then gave me his locker number and his schedule so I could show him his classes. His schedule was almost the exact same as mine except we had different math classes.
" So, what did you say his name was?"
"Oh my dear, I am sorry I forgot one moment. Ah here it is, Jacob black."
I froze Jacob Black as in my old best friend Jacob Black? Then suddenly a guy came through the door. I looked at him and my eyes widened and my mouth dropped.
"Hey, is this my science cl-" he looked at me and his face resembled mine. He found his voice before I did.
"Taylor?" I nodded and he ran towards me and grabbed me in a hug. That's when I found my voice.
"Jake!"
He spun me around until I got dizzy.
"Jake, I'm going to puke on you!"
He immediately dropped me. I looked at him for a few seconds before running to give him another hug. He held me tightly but I didn't mind it. I had my big brother back.
