Over the next few weeks, Noelle and I have gotten to be really close. We hang out almost every day except the days that I have to hunt and she has basketball. She has really changed me and I see everything different than I had with Rosalie. Yes it still hurts when I say her name, but being with Noelle, it makes me not think of the hurt Rosalie gave me.

"Em, I know what you are thinking, but man; you can't fall in love with her." Edward said. "She will never understand us, what will she think and say when you tell her that we are completely opposite of what she thinks of us. We aren't normal, and we sure as hell aren't alive." I knew he was going to go there.

"You're a hypocrite, you know that?" I was getting tired of his games.

"How the hell am I a hypocrite?" I was shutting my mind so he couldn't read it.

"Because you are telling me all this stuff, and yet there you were a few years ago falling in love with Bella, marrying her, getting her knocked up, and then changing her. I lost Rosalie; I need someone in my life. I can't go on with my life alone!" Near the end I was starting to yell.

"Edward, Emmett, enough." Esme said.

"What do we do? He's in love with her, and she's in love with him." I just rolled my eyes. Of course he would go into her mind. "I can see it in her mind, it's, it's a lot, and it won't go away. She's starting to get suspicious though. One night she went for a run and she noticed that our lights were on, then she had a sleepover and they stayed up all night and she knows that our lights were all on. She also noticed that we don't eat, none of us do except Jacob. She's getting suspicious." Edward said.

"Look school starts soon, you're new and it's time to start over. We will deal with this problem if it grows to be a bigger problem. Let's hope she finds out for herself, that way she can come ask you Emmett and we will do the same thing we did with Bella." Carlisle said.

"Now, does everyone have their stuff for school?" Esme said, trying to get onto a new topic. When everyone nodded she continued, "Good, Bella you got Renesmee and Jacob's stuff set right?"

"Yeah their stuff is with Edward and I's." She replied.

"Good, now school starts in an hour and a half, so why don't you all get ready, and I'll go get Nessie and Jacob up. Go." With that we all scrambled up to our rooms. When I got to mine I went and sat on the bed. I fell back and daydreamed for a good minute or two. Then I stood up, went into my bathroom and took a shower. After I got out, I put on the outfit that Alice had picked out. I slid on the jeans and t-shirt, and I buttoned up the light blue shirt. I put on my sneakers and grabbed my book bag.

Downstairs I could hear everyone was gathering so I decided I would join them. When I got down there it seemed like the people we were waiting for was Jasper and Alice. Two minutes later they were coming down the stairs.

"Alright everyone have fun at school, and try to learn something." Esme said. We all gave her that look that said 'yeah right, we've been going to school for so long, we never learn anything anymore'. She rolled her eyes at us and shooed us off.

In the garage you could see that Carlisle had already left for work. Everyone got in the white Escalade that Carlisle got us so we could get to school easily and it was big enough for everyone. I got to be the driver today, so once I started the car, I pulled out of the driveway.

We got to school 30 minutes early, but we wanted to be early so that way we could go and get our schedules. We walked into the office and the secretary looked up when we entered.

"Hi sweeties, how may I help you?" She asked.

"We are the Cullen's; we are here to get our schedules." I told her.

"Oh yes," She said and picked up a stack of papers. "I have your schedules right here, now let's see, Renesmee Cullen?" Nessie walked to her desk. "Let's see, freshman, these are your classes in order; Spanish 1, AP geophysical science, American Lit, Honors Geometry, Lunch, World History, and Gym." Then she handed Nessie her schedule.

"Thank you." Nessie said.

"You're welcome dear, now let's see, Jacob Black?" Jake walked up to her desk like Nessie had. "You are a freshman and your classes are; Health, Geophysical Science, American Lit, Algebra 1, Lunch, World History and Spanish 2." She then handed her schedule to Jake. "Next we have, Isabella Cullen?" Bella went up to the desk. "Let's see sophomore, and these are your classes; AP Biology, Spanish 3, AP Algebra 2, U.S. History, Lunch, Literature 11, and Gym."

"Thank you." Bella said as she took her schedule than went and stood next to Nessie.

"Hm, where's Edward Cullen?" She asked.

"That would be me." He said as he stood at her desk.

"Alright, you are a sophomore; here are your classes; AP Biology, AP Algebra 2, Spanish 2, U.S. History, Lunch, Gym, and Literature 11." She read off, and then gave Edward his schedule."Next we have, Alice Cullen. You are a sophomore as well and here are your classes; AP Biology, Spanish 2, AP Algebra 2, U.S. History, Lunch, Literature 11, and Health." She handed Alice her schedule. "Oh, we have 2 more. Um, Emmett Cullen is next." I stepped up to get my schedule. "Emmett is a junior and your classes are; AP Chemistry, Pre-Calc, Spanish 3, Politics, Lunch, Gym, and Literature 11." I got my schedule and went over to Edward. I have 4 classes with him.

"Now we have Jasper Cullen, you are a junior and here are your classes; AP Chemistry, Pre-Calc, Spanish 4, AP Politics, Lunch, Literature 11, and Health." She gave him his schedule. "Why you are such a big group, but very bright according to your schedules. Now you better get off to class, you don't want to be late on your first day." With that we all quickly got out of her office and to our lockers.

When the first bell rang, Bella, Edward and Alice went to their class, and Jasper and I went to our class together. Our first hour was AP Chemistry. When we got there we got a lot of strange looks, but we were used to it, and Noelle wasn't in this class so I sat next to Jasper. When the teacher came in, he basically talked about last year's stuff and stuff that we would need to go over from last year so I just tuned him out and thought about Noelle.

Quickly, that class ended, and then I was going Pre-Calc with Jasper again. That class was the same as the last and soon it was over. The next class that I had was one of the two classes that I didn't have with anyone of my family. When I got there, I had just missed the bell. Looking around I saw Noelle. She looked up, and smiled. I walked over to her, and saw she was talking to her friends from basketball.

"Hey." She said, as I came up, and we connected hands.

"Hello, how are you?" I asked and she leaned into me a bit.

"Good, how is your first day going?" She asked me.

I didn't get to answer her because the teacher than walked in and told us to take our seats. Noelle and I took seats in the back with her basketball friends. Senora Moser started on telling us all the rules and I tuned her out. Then I felt Noelle nudge me and saw she had slipped me a piece of paper.

-I have some classes with your brother and sisters

-Who?

-Biology w/ Bella, Edward, and Alice….then Algebra w/ Edward.

-How'd it go?

-Good, I sit next to Alice in Biology but all four of us are a lab group, and I sit next to Edward in Algebra.

-That's good. Do you want to come over at school?

-Can't…I have basketball after school until 5, and then I have to watch my brothers and sisters after that, the 'rents are at a medical conference in Seattle for the week.

-That sucks.

-Yeah, but if you want, you can come over around 5:30ish.

-That'll be great!

Then the bell rang, and we had to go to our next class.

"What's your next class?" I asked her.

"U.S. History, fun. Not" She said.

"Don't worry; you have that class with Edward, Alice and Bella." I said, and then she gave me a hug before she went off to her next class.

The day went by like that. After my Politics class, I had lunch, and Noelle sat with us. After lunch I had gym with Noelle and Edward, and then I had Literature 11 with them as well.

After the final bell went off, I got up, and walked with Noelle to her locker. "So I'll see you later?" She asked me.

"Of course. 5:30?" I asked.

"Yup." Then when she closed her locker we hugged. I can still fell her shiver at my touch, but I know she tries to cover it up. When we pulled back, she quickly reached her hand behind my neck and pulled me down, and our lips quickly met. That kiss was mind bursting. It was just everything wonderful and just everything.

I knew I had to stop the kiss though because if I just squeezed a little too much I could break her. So I pulled back, and then she smiled, and went off to basketball.

Then I left, and went to the parking lot where my family was waiting for me. Everyone except Nessie and Jacob.

"Where's Nessie and the dog?" I asked when I reached them. Knowing Edward and Alice, they probably told them about my kiss.

"We did." Edward said smirking at me, but I just gave him that look.

"They went hunting." Bella said. Then she handed me the keys, and we all got in.

"And we told them about how you had a little date with her at 5:30." Alice said. The whole ride home they were teasing me about her, so when we got home I quickly went upstairs to my room.

In my room I just laid on my bed and thought of Noelle. I could picture me and her living together, married. Edward had such a hard time accepting the fact that Bella wanted to be changed, but if it meant that I could live forever with Noelle, who wouldn't do it?

I spent so long just laying there thinking about it, that 5:30 just appeared out of nowhere. So I got up from my bed and I walked downstairs. I thought I might be able to sneak out, they knew where I was going, but I don't want them to give me a hard time.

"You really thought you could sneak out of this house?" Edward asked. I turned around and saw him leaning against a wall and he had Nessie right next to him and her eyes were red, and I could tell she must have been crying. She was clingy tightly onto Edward. Even though she looked 15 on the outside, she was still about 4 years old, and she still needed her dad.

What happened? I thought. Edward just kissed Nessie on the head and mouthed 'Later'. I just nodded but I was still worried, I love Nessie as if she was my daughter, and I would hate to leave her alone like this. Edward just smiled at me and I knew he wanted me to go to Noelle.

I went over kissed Nessie on the head and then exited the house. I walked down the big hill that my house was on, and I jogged at human pace to Noelle's house. When I got there I rang the doorbell, and then Noelle answered the door.

"Hey you." She said and she hugged me. I kissed her on the head and then went inside. Even though they had a lot of kids, the house was perfectly cleaned. It seemed that no toddlers at all lived here. Her house was very big and grand.

"They are all outside." She said, nodding towards the back of the house. "They are anxious to meet you." She took my hand and led me through the main hallway and into the biggest kitchen I think I have ever seen. There was a big glass door and I could see a huge jungle set and a pool.

Noelle slid open the glass door and we stepped out into the night. The second I stepped out two yellow labs came running up to me and I knew they wanted to play. There were 2 girls and a boy in the water, another boy was sitting on the pool chairs playing with a little girl, and then there was a baby in his own little swingy chair.

"Emmett, this is my brother Collin and little sister Arianna." Noelle said nodding to the boy and girl that was on the pool chair. They smiled at me and then Noelle continued, "In the pool is my other brother Noah, and my sister Allie and Alexis, and then that little baby over there is Ryan." The kids that were in the pool got out of the water, and they each grabbed a towel to dry themselves off with.

"Nice to meet you all." I said. Looking at them all, I could defiantly tell that they were Noelle's siblings. None of them were as chubby as Noelle was, but they all had brown wavy hair, and they had the same eyes.

I stood there for a bit before Noelle dragged me back inside. "Come on, Collin is watching them." We went downstairs. She led me to this room that I was guessing was their home movie theater. "My uncle is in the film business. So we get a lot of movies for free that aren't even supposed to be in theaters yet. Then my aunt and her kids are in the movie business so we get movies from them too."

In their movie theater they had a big screen TV, multiple big plushy chairs, a popcorn machine, a pop machine, and a candy buffet. Me and Noelle got ourselves comfy on the big plush couch they had and started to watch some movie. Part way through the movie though, I could sense she wanted to just make out, but I knew I had to be careful, I couldn't press anything too hard.

Before I knew it, it was past 9 o'clock. "You better get going. I got to make sure all the young ones are in bed, and it's a school night." She said, and I just nodded. We stood up and she led me to the front door.

"I had a great time." I said, and I bent down to give her a light kiss on the lips, then I kissed her head. Once outside I jogged at human speed back to my house. All the lights were on, and when I stepped in I knew that something was wrong. Then I remembered that Nessie was upset about something.

So I went into the family room to just see Nessie. She was cuddled up in a warm fuzzy blanket watching some movie on the screen. Even from the doorway I could see that her eyes were still red and puffy from all the crying she did. I walked over to her and sat down on the couch. I put my arm around her and she leaned into me and started to cry again.

"Nessie, what happened?" I asked. She put her hand on my cheek and then suddenly I saw the whole thing.

Nessie and Jacob were in the woods and they were taking a break. Jacob decided to phase back so he and Nessie could talk. He seemed to be very mad about something.

"Jake what's wrong? Why do you look so pissed off?" Nessie asked.

Jacob took a deep of breath before saying, "Why were you flirting with that guy today in history and English class?"

"Jake you don't own me," Nessie was starting to get very mad, "I can flirt with whoever I want to. I can go up to any guy and make out with them if I want. You have no control over me." She screamed.

"YES I DO!" Jake yelled. "I imprinted on you. You and me, we are going to be together forever!" He yelled back.

"You did what?" She whispered.

"I imprinted on you." He said and he shoved his hands through his hair.

"What is that?" She asked.

"Basically it means love at first sight. Me and you are to be together forever."

"So I have a choice?" She was really confused.

"No." He replied, and I could tell that made Nessie very mad. She went straight up to him and slapped him across the face.

"How dare you." She spat at him. "I was just a baby, and you decided my whole life. Now I don't get to live as a normal teenager. You tricked me." She said with a lot of venom in her voice.

"Nessie I…" He started but she cut him off.

"Save it. I want nothing to do with you. I don't care about the whole imprinting thing; I will never ever end up with a man like you." Then she ran off and tears were already starting to fall from her eyes.

Then instead of being in her memory, I was staring back at her swollen, red eyes. I just hugged her and let her cry on my shoulder.

I knew that I had to tell Noelle about me and my family. The longer I wait, the worse it would be when I told her. I didn't want her ending up like Nessie, where we've fallen for each other so long and then tell her and ruin everything. I had to tell Noelle as soon as possible.

I had to tell her I was a vampire.
