The Human
AN: So I changed my mind, I've decided to keep it all together as one. Just to confuse you! I plan to always update three chapters at a time. One for each of the different stories. Although they are all independant stories. I do hope you will read them all. I go into more details about somethings in one story and leave them out of another. If you read them all you'll know everything.
Well here is the first one, enjoy.
Chapter One
The first day of school wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I knew I was going to be attending a small school. I just hadn't realized how much everyone would be talking about me, wondering who exactly I was, what I was about. I had a few things going for me. There was one other transfer student who was starting today too, so the attention was split, plus the fact that it was everyones first day back, so people were distracted with catching up with friends they hadn't seen all summer. I was able to get away with sliding through the day.
When I got to lunch I had stood by the door looking around trying to figure out where I was going to sit today. I saw a girl with a short pixie hair cut sit down at a table with a few other people, they all looked friendly enough. I started walking that direction when I ran into someone. It was the other transfer student, Jonathan. He was in all four of the classes i'd had so far this morning, and I had been telling mself not to notice how adorable he was.
He smiled down at me, and as my eyes connected with his I felt my knee's get a little weak. I immediately broke eye contact. No way was I going to break my rule about falling in love on the first day, I refused! I was about to back up and step around him when he said, "I'm about to join some new friends I made," he gestured to the table I had been about to walk to. "Do you want to come too?"
I didn't trust myself to speak, afraid my word vomit might attack and i'd tell him i'd follow him anywhere, so I nodded my head and followed him to the table. There were five people sitting there. They all smiled at me and welcomed me, explaining that this was the transfer student table. They said that the five of them had all been transfer students last year, and once they had decided to sit together the first day, they were inseperable.
There were three girls and two boys, not counting me and Jonathon. One of the girls introduced everyone. Her name was Rebecca but she went by Bex, she had shoulder length brown hair, and was gorgeous. In fact they all were, not in the same way that my family was. Just regular people gorgeous.
Bex, introduced Jeremy who she called Germy. "Not because I lack hygenie, I can assure you, and she's the only one who calls me that!" he had added, smiling. He had his arm around the girl I had seen. I only now noticed the other girl sitting beside her and realized they were identical twins. Bex introduced the one with longer hair as Madison, "I go by Maddy" she had added in a quiet voice, smiling.
The blonde with the short hair was Addison, "No variation" she had added with a chuckle before leaning back into Jeremy. Her head resting against his shoulder. Then Bex had turned to her left, "and this is Gabriel, one guess what his nickname is," she said smiling at me.
Gab looked at Bex out of the corner of his eye before looking at me, and I knew in that second that he liked her. I'm pretty good at reading people. Its one of my naturally developed talents. I smiled at all of them and said "I'm Carlie Swan," I looked at Addison and added, "Also, no variation." This got a laugh out of all of them, and I realized I'd found my niche.
Jonathan was sitting to my right, his body angled to me, though his eyes were on everyone else. I didn't like that I liked that he was turned in my direction. I didn't want to break my own rule. I could not fall for this boy. It would ruin everything.
He decided it was his turn to introduce himself, and said "I'm Jonathan, I go by Jonathan, Jon, or Racer, just dont call me Nathan." I smiled to myself, I think I was going to call him Jonathan, only because that was how i'd been thinking of him all day. Or rather that was how I'd been not thinking about him.
He turned to me as I was smiling and said "So what brings you to Forks?" I was so glad I'd practiced the answer to this question last night. "My Uncle Charlie, he's letting me stay with him while my parents go through a seperation." It was completely the truth, well aside from the "uncle" part.
I decided to shift the focus off myself, asking "What about you?" He explained that his parents and his younger brother had died in a car accident, last spring. He said he'd been staying with his Aunt and Uncle over the summer but had decided to move here to stay with his Grandma for his senior year.
No one said anything right away. I mean how are you supposed to respond when you hear that someones entire family died. Then I decided to break the silence. I placed my hand on his arm, trying not to notice the muscles that were hidden beneath his shirt. "If you need anything, ever, just ask." Everyone else knodded their heads adding their own apoligies for his lost.
He said his thank you's to everyone else, but his eyes never left mine. It was then that I knew I didn't stand a chance of not falling in love with this guy.
I had one more class after lunch, Gym, as seniors we got the last two periods off. I had been thankful not to have first period gym class, because really who wants to go through the day with sweaty underwear? Talk about gross! Not that I sweat a lot myself... but I could just imagine what its like for everyone else.
Anyway, from my lunch crew, I had all of them in gym. (Meaning I had every single class with Jonathan, something I was still trying to talk myself out of noticing.) I had also found out that Bex was in both my Government and Math classes, and Gab was in my English class.
We didn't have to dress out the first day of class, our gym teacher spent the first ten minutes talking about what he had planned for us this year. Then he wondered off to his office saying he'd see us tomorrow.
We sat around at the top of the bleachers our own little group already fitting together so well. It felt like we had all known each other forever, the way we joked and laughed and shared stories of our past lives to help get to know each other. I was surpised at how easy it was for me to tell the truth. All the students who had been at this school when my family had attended had graduated at least three years ago. The Cullens were history... at least to this school.
No one even knew we were still in town. As far as everyone was aware all my Aunt's and Uncles had gone off to school and never returned. Only Grandpa Carlisle was still seen, when he was working at the hospital, and he had taken to wearing makeup in an effort to make himself look older. Aunt Alice had fun adding wrinkles to his face, I had gotten him to pose once for my portfolio. It was strange to see him aged.
Our little group walked out to the parking lot together. Maddy, Addison and Jeremy had driven together, Gab and Bex had both driven themselves. I turned to Jonathan and he said his grandmother had dropped him off. I asked as casually as I could if he wanted a ride home. I could feel my stomach doing flip flops at the idea of it just being the two of us, and his smile only made it worse. We said our goodbyes to our group, and then walked over to my car.
My Aunt Rose had gotten me the Mini Cooper Convertible I'd been craving ever since I saw it in a magazine. I had gone online and build my perfect model. I guess Dad had been paying enough attention to help her nail all the details.
Once we got in, I tossed my ipod over to him and told him to pick something. I figured it would give me a chance to see what kind of music he was into. He picked one of my favorite bands You Me and Everyone We Know.
I glanced at him and then said "I've yet to meet anyone who listens to them, have you heard of them before?" he turned toward me "Yeah, I've seen them live twice, they are amazing." I turned my attention to the road and drove out of the student parking lot. It turned out he actually lived three houses down the road from Charlie. I told him I could pick him up if he didn't want to ride with his Grandmother, in the morning.
"Thanks, that would be awesome," he said as he slide out of the car, shutting the door. I drove the tiny distance down to Charlies house. When I got out of the car, I was still smiling to myself. I was going to have him all to myself again in the morning. I was so excited I couldn't even make myself think about how I shouldn't be thinking about it.
I did a tiny twirl on my way to the door and stopped dead when I heard a light laughter coming from my left. I turned and saw he was still standing outside his door watching me. I freaked out, blushing more than I ever had in my entire life. I raced up the rest of the walk way and through the door. I closed my eyes trying to shake off the embarressment. Neither Charlie or Sue was home, and for that I was greatful. I walked up the stairs to my room.
I decided if I was going to be embarressed I might aswell share the news with Nahuel. He would probably get a good laugh out of it and make me feel better. I grabbed my macbook off the desk and plopped down on my bed.
I knew he would be online, waiting to hear how my first day went. He was, and I told him all the gory details, wishing he were here so I could just show him. When I finally got to the part i'd been embaressed about we had already been joking around about everything else, that I didn't even feel so silly anymore.
At some point in our conversation I'd heard Sue come home and start cooking. I told Nahuel i'd talk to him later this week, or i'd pop him an email if something huge happened. Then I made my way down stairs to help Sue finish up with dinner. We were having pork chops, a personal favorite of mine, and I smiled knowing that she must have asked Leah.
"I also made Au Gratin potatoes for you," she said when she saw I noticed what she was making. "Leah told me they were the only way you'd eat potatoes that weren't french fries," Sue told me as I reached for the dishes to set up with table.
"Thank you Sue! You didn't have to do that." I said, although I was really glad she had. She'd made all my comfort foods. Exactly what I needed after my first day of school.
Charlie came home a while later, and as we sat down to dinner I gave them the watered down verison of what had happened at school. Completely leaving Jonathan out of the equation. I didn't need my little crush getting back to my parents. Not until I had time to get over him.
