3rd Person POV-The Cullens' House

"Kids!" yelled Esme. "Get down here! All of you!" The rustling of feet could be heard coming from the floor above. All of a sudden all five of the Cullen "children" appeared before Esme. Emmett had his arms around Rosalie and Jasper held Alice's delicate hand in his. Edward stood over in the corner. "Edward, would you like to join the rest of us?" Edward mumbled something that, even with their enhanced senses, no one could comprehend. He walked slowly over to the rest of the group. "Thank you. Now, you all will be starting school tomorrow." Groans came from everyone but Alice who was simply bursting with energy and happiness for reasons unknown to everyone, including Edward. "Anyway, I expect you all to be on your best behavior. I don't want to hear about any fiascos…Emmett…" Emmett chuckled to himself, obviously reliving a memory. Rosalie smacked his arm.

"Rose!" he exclaimed. "What the heck did I do to deserve that?"

"Act your age Em! Or else!" She had an evil grin on her face. Emmett knew exactly what she meant and composed himself immediately.

"Please continue," he said to Esme. She just laughed.

"Why thank you Emmett. Well kids, I want you to enjoy this year. Don't get into any trouble. Have a great day!" and with that she left the room. Edward followed suit. He walked sulkily up the stairs. Then, he stopped suddenly. He turned to Alice as if she'd called his name.

"What do you want Alice?" he called, slightly perturbed.

"Oh, nothing." Edward shook his head and continued his journey up to his room. Just wait until tomorrow dear brother. he heard Alice think. Just wait. You'll see. And then suddenly he saw the image of the most beautiful woman he'd ever laid eyes on. He was frozen in a state of shock. This girl beat out Rosalie's beauty by an eternity. He was captivated by her. He wanted to scream at Alice, demanding to know who this girl was, but decided against it. As he reached his room, he threw himself onto his couch. For once, he wished he could sleep and dream of the beautiful girl who had captivated his mind.

My night had been very uneventful. The town of Forks was ridiculously boring at night, even for someone like me. I flung the door open.

"I'm home!" I called out.

"Already?" came my reply. "Wow. Is it that boring?"

"You have no idea." I walked into the parlor where Charlie was sitting. He was looking intently at some papers. "What are those?"

"Oh," he said. "These are our registrations papers. I…well…I registered us for high school. You'll be going as a junior, and me a senior. I thought…well…if you don't want to I understand, but I'm going." I looked at him quizzically.

"Sounds like a plan," I finally said. "What school?"

"Forks High School," he proclaimed proudly. "Oh and one more thing, I'm your brother."

"You're what?!"

"I'm your brother. Or at least, that's what the school thinks." He held out his hand. "Charlie Swan. Nice to meet you." I smiled.

"Oh okay."

"We're supposed to pick up our schedules tomorrow…well actually today…" he said glancing at the clock that read four o'clock, "…in the office."

"Sounds good. And now if you'll excuse me, I only have two hours to get ready." And with that I walked away, up the stairs and to my room. I walked into my closet and sat down. I looked up at my clothes. I decided on a light blue baby doll top and black straight leg jeans. I grabbed a pair of blue flip flops and laid my outfit on my bed. I walked out of my room with my toiletries and began my search for the bathroom. I found it after about twenty minutes. It was just as elaborate as the rest of the house. I took a long, relaxing shower letting the scent of strawberries fill my nose. I wasn't sure why, but there was something familiar about my strawberry shampoo and I never went anywhere without it. Once I was done, I wrapped myself in a towel and walked back to my room. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going as ran into Charlie. My wet hair hit him in the face. I had to stifle a laugh. "I'm so sorry," I said. I looked up at him. Again his eyes had gone black.

"Not to worry. It's only water." He stared longingly at me before shaking his head and continuing to walk. I was rooted in place. This was going to present a problem. I ran to my room and locked the door. I got dressed quickly and ran back to the bathroom. I began to do my hair. I thought about letting it dry on its own. It had a natural wave that was quite beautiful, but I decided against it. I proceeded to blow dry my hair and then straighten it. After I was done I brushed through it and exited the bathroom. I looked at a clock. It was 6:50. School started in about an hour. I called for Charlie to come. He came carrying two backpacks.

"You ready?" I asked him.

"Of course! Are you?"

"If I have to be." He chuckled as he handed me my bag. "Let's go." We walked down the stairs and out the door. I let Charlie drive. I watched as my beautiful home disappeared behind me. I watched the scenes outside pass by, something I made a habit after so many car rides. All too suddenly I heard Charlie speak.

"Welcome to Forks High School Miss Swan. Home of the…Spartans." I snorted a laugh and got out of the car. This was going to be interesting….
