Another day, another useless day. I knew how it would be; I would go to school, my heart would stop upon the announcement of a pop quiz in geometry, I would stare at my history teacher, then I would have the pleasure of freezing in the basement of the school in health, I would go sit with my boyfriend who isn't my boyfriend at lunch, I would go to English, I would go home.

Once I was out of that place, I would do homework, write, talk to my boyfriend that isn't a boyfriend, and go to bed. The reason my boyfriend isn't my boyfriend is because boyfriends are supposed to be boys who are friends. And he most certainly is not a friend. He is a rapist and a cheater. But I can't help but melt every time he turns his gorgeous blue eyes on me. He insists he loves me, and when I see those eyes, I can't help but think he's telling the truth. How silly I can be…

Today was different, though. When I met my friends this morning, I noticed 6 new students standing against the wall in the hallway. They were all so beautiful! I couldn't believe it; the most beautiful was either the brunette girl, or the blonde male. The male who appeared to be youngest gave me a look of pure hatred, causing me to turn away. I quickly met up with my friends and went to my geometry class.

Brooke and I were among the first to arrive in class. When we entered, I noticed two of the new students sitting in front of mine and Brooke's seats. As we sat, their quiet chatter silenced, when the tiny girl with short black hair turned to face me.

"Hi. I'm Alice Cullen, this is my brother, Edward." She had a beaming smile on her face, while her brother, Edward, looked at me with the same frustrated look of hate I'd received earlier.

" Hi, I'm Ayden, this is Brooke. May I ask why your brother is attempting to burn a hole in my left eye with his glares?" I asked Alice. Her bell-like laughter filled the room.

"He's kinda nervous about today. Sorry about that," she whispered. His look softened and he was soon smiling at Brooke and I.

"Please excuse my very rude behavior, I always end up being nervous on our first days."

"So you guys move a lot?" Brooke asked them, having just picked up on the conversation. She appeared to have been dazed by Edward's devastatingly good looks.

"Yeah, our mom renovates houses, so we only stay in one place for a few years," Alice replied.

"What classes do you guys have?" I asked, wondering how much I would be seeing of our new students.

"Well, Ayden, it appears we'll be seeing a lot of each other," Alice said. She seemed overly-joyed at the aspect of having already made a new friend. We had all the same classes, and she informed me that her entire family had third period health with me, meaning we all had the same lunch. "Would you guys like to join me and a few friends at lunch?" I invited them to sit at our table, consisting of me, my friend Tiffany, another friend, Jordan, and my boyfriend who isn't a boyfriend. They gladly accepted as the bell indicating the end of class rang.

Alice and I were off to history, with Brooke and Edward heading to biology to meet a few more members of the Cullen family, which I was now learning a lot about, ignoring my very attractive history teacher for the first time.

"There's six of us; it's a lot, I know." She giggled and rolled her eyes, giving the effect that her siblings could be a lot to handle. "I guess I'll go ahead and fill you in before we go to third period so it won't be as awkward. We're all couples. Oh Ayden, we're adopted! Except Rosalie, Jasper, and Bella. Rosalie and Jasper are twins. Bella is their younger sister. They're our mother's nieces and nephew. No incest for me, thanks." She laughed again, sensing my shock upon finding out about their relationship status. "The big tall guy, Emmett, is dating the tall blonde, Rosalie. Emmett is a total goof. Rosalie can be…stuck up sometimes. Bella, the brunette—she's dating Edward. They're both really sweet and down-to-earth. Then there's Jasper." Her eyes glazed over momentarily. Wow, I hadn't noticed how magnificent the color of her eyes were, they were gold. "Jasper is my boyfriend. Oh my gosh, he's too great!" She giggled, yet again, leaving me with an uncomfortable smile at the mention of relationships.

"Ayden, what's wrong?" She looked so concerned now, as if my expression pained her.

"I'm fine, Alice. Your family seems really great." With that I turned to hear the rest of our lecture on the fall of the Roman empire— something I was already heavily informed on. She shot me a concerned, doubting glance then turned to listen to Mr. Hoover drone on.

Now I'm nervous. I have to meet the rest of the Cullens and Hales. If they were all as nice and perky as little Alice, things would be good. But I don't know if I'm ready to face them yet.

I entered the classroom with Alice, us being the first there other than her family, and took my usual seat. The teacher was signing all their slips and adding them to the roll. He told them to sit where they'd like, and they all surrounded me. Perfect, I thought. Now what to do…The huge boy behind me, whose name I remembered was Emmett, tapped me on the shoulder, attempting to get my attention. I turned to him, facing a child-like grin. "Hi. I'm Emmett."

I smiled back and introduced myself to the entire Cullen/Hale family. They all seemed friendly and welcoming, even Rosalie, who Alice had described as 'stuck-up.' The class passed by very quickly, and before any of us realized the time, we were going to the cafeteria. I went to the table and sat down. I never ate school lunch. It was suicidal. Most of the smart kids in school avoided the food. The Cullens also sat, glancing around the cafeteria.

"Are you guys too smart to eat the hobos they serve as lunch food?" I asked, trying to make small talk. They could be very shy. They all burst out in laughter, earning many glances from nearby basketball players and band geeks.

It was then that I noticed they all had that beautiful golden eye color. It was amazing.

Bella was the one to respond to my apparently funny statement. "Yeah, I guess we are. None of us have ever particularly liked cafeteria food, Esme's food is so much better."

"I'm guessing Esme is your mother?" It only made sense…I was just asking. Yet they still looked at me like I was a moron.

"Oh, I guess I forgot to tell her about Esme and Carlisle. Yeah, Ayden, they're our parents. I told you about what Esme does this morning, but Carlisle is a doctor. The best part is, they're both really young and so easy to get along with."

I had missed the last part; I noticed William approaching. Edward suddenly looked very angry. Man, I hope he wasn't like that with everyone today…

William took his seat next to me, grabbing my hand.

"Hey, you guys must be the Cullens. You guys have quite a following." William smiled warmly, but no one was moved by his friendly efforts. Alice, always the social one, spoke on the behalf of her family.

"Really?! What have you heard?!" They talked amongst themselves while the rest of the Cullens and I sat quietly, looking around. It was then I noticed something, or rather, someone missing. "Where are Tiffany and Jordan?" I asked William, looking confused.

"They're sitting with the band today. I guess the fabulous new Cullens scared them off," he laughed. I hated to think he was happy; after all he'd done to me… I was so wrapped up in my thoughts, I nearly missed Edward jump up abruptly, walking quite fast toward the doors at the school's entrance. Bella followed, wondering, as well, what had just happened.

"What was that about?" Jasper asked Alice quietly. Her reply was so quiet, I was sure I was the only one who heard it, other than Jasper.

"I'll tell you about it later. But he's pissed at William."

Why would he be pissed at William? He hadn't done anything to him. He had no reason to hate my boyfriend. I brushed it off. He must not have liked the idea of scaring off our friends. And just as soon as it came, the lunch period was over.

I walked to English with Alice and Bella, William always following along.

"Well, guys, how's your first day been?" I asked, trying to avoid my stalker-like boyfriend behind me.

"Great! I can't wait until Monday!" Wow. Alice actually wanted to come to school. I; however, was more glad than ever that today was Friday. After exclaiming her joy of coming to school, Alice stopped right in front of the classroom, looking dazed.

"Alice? You okay?" Bella and I both asked her, concerned for our friend.

"Oh my Carlisle! Ayden! You should come spend the night at our house!" Bella shot Alice a warning look, only to receive one that was meant to comfort her back.

"That sounds great. Are you guys sure, though?" They both nodded their heads excitedly. I was hoping that Alice's wouldn't fall off and roll down the hallway with William who was finally walking away. I laughed at their enthusiasm.

"Well…I guess I could fit you guys in my schedule." They both smiled and we walked into our English class to end another not so predictable day.
