(A/N - This is set 50 years after the end of last chapter)

"Welcome to Forks!" Alice said as we pulled up to the house. It was nicer than any of the ones we lived in in Canada.

"It's good to be home." Jake says as he puts his arm around Ness.

Bella makes a face at Edward.

I hear her think, Its weird to be here without Charlie. She must have pushed her shield away so Edward could here her. He was definitely listening because he pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head.

Collectively, everyone's thoughts made them seem like they were happy to be back in Forks. Home, they kept all calling it. I guess this was their favorite place to live.

"Yeah," Edward said out loud. "We all kinda love it here."

"Come on," Esme said, leading me into the house. "Let's find you a room."

I've been through the first time in a new place deal with the Cullens before, but this house was different. It was bigger, better, nicer.

"How about this one?" She asked, opening the door to an empty room with windows on 3 sides.

"It's perfect." I smiled, and put down the box I'd been carrying.

I start unpacking and hanging my stuff when Rosalie came in.

"We're starting school tomorrow, so be ready to leave by 7 in the morning." She said, then walked out.

"Great." I said, getting back to unpacking.

Pulling up to Forks High School, it was underwhelming. It was so much smaller than the rest of the schools we've been to.

"Yeah, it's small." Edward said. "But it's almost like our second home." He smiled and put his arm around Bella.

That's one hell of a carpool. Someone thought.

They've got to be related. Another thought.

So it was mostly just the same old stuff, until I heard the one thought in the crowd.

Wow, he thought, she's really pretty. He was picturing my face.

Edward looked back at me, giving me a face. He heard him, too.

He's the first person who has ever thought that I was actually pretty. Most of them think we're hot, or they want to 'bang' us, but never in any vampiric existence has a human called me pretty. It felt nice.

Edward kissed Bella on the head and fell back to walk with me.

"You have to stay away from him." He wispered to me.

"You went after Bella, and look at you now." I wispered back.

"That was different." He said.

"How?" I asked. "Explain to me how it was different."

"Let's not do this now." Alice fell back to us and said. "Or it'll get ugly."

"Fine." I sighed, shooting Edward a look.

We walked to our respective classes. Since Alice and my first period classrooms were right next to each other, we walked together to class.

"So, do I end up with him?" I asked her as we walked.

"I haven't seen anything yet." She said, "but there's still time."

I sighed, disappointed, as I walked into first period English, and Alice walked on to her class. I told myself I would keep an eye on her thoughts so that I would know if she saw something.

My first class was AP English Lit. When I walked in, there was only one seat left. It was next to him.

"Emelie Cullen, right?" The teacher asked as I walked into her room.

"Yeah." I said, handing her my first day paperwork.

AP English Lit as a freshman. She thought. Impressive.

I went down and sat next to him, looking over at his binder as I did. Nathaniel it said in messy, jock handwriting.

It's her, he thought as I sat down, straightening his posture. Be cool. Be cool.

"Hi," He said, holding out his hand. "I'm Nathaniel."

I took his hand and shook it.

"Emelie." I replied.

"You have cold hands." He commented.

"I... have poor circulation." I lied.

"Oh." He said. His brain started to go haywire. I shouldn't have said anything! What if it's a sore subject for her, or...

As he was concerned, he had the cutest little crinkle in his forehead.

Damn. I thought to myself. If I have to stay away from him, it's going to be a long year.

(A/N - So, it's seems our Emelie has a crush! But, will she listen to Edward and leave it alone, or will she follow her instincts and go after him? Find out in the next chapter. Don't forget to review!)
