Chapter One

Arrival At School

Vasilisa and Edward arrived in Edward's Volvo, Alice and Jasper with them, and Emmett and Anna in Em's Jeep. Much to Anna's surprise her hair wasn't a mess like normal. Emmett picked Annaliese up out of the car, setting her down. The other Cullens joined them and they walked to the school's office. "Ah you must be the Cullens," The person at the desk said. She gave them their schedules.

Vasilisa and Edward went to English; Alice, Annaliese and Jasper went to Choir; Emmett all alone to Woodshop.

Vasilisa and Ed walked into their new first hour, the teacher looked at them, "Class we have two new students… please introduce yourself and make up a poem on the spot or a Shakespearian line."

"Edward Cullen," Edward says casually.

"Vasilisa Cullen." She stated simply and in unison they said, " Romeo, oh Romeo where for art thou Romeo/Oh if I was a glove on thy hand, Fair Juliet." Mr. Williams snaps in approval. "Your seats are in the back."

In Choir, Miss Marisa told the class that they had three new students who came form the States. Alice, Anna and Jasper came in, gasps were heard as Miss Marisa said, "Introduce yourself and sing so song."

Anna waited for Alice to go first. Alice stepped up, "I'm Alice Cullen!" She says the she beings to sing in a nearly perfect voice.

"If there's a prize for rotten

Judgment, I guess I've already won that,

No man is worth the aggravation,

That ancient History, been there, done

That. Oh… No…I thought my heart has

Learned its lesson. It feels so good when you

Start out. My head is screaming. Get a grip

Girl, before you have to cry your heart out

…At least out loud, I won't say I'm in love…"

The class stared in awe. Annaliese watched Jasper step up next. "Jasper Cullen" He states, singing in an almost perfect voice.

"We are one you and I

We are like the earth

And sky one family under

The sun. Tears of pain

Tears of joy. One thing

Nothing can destroy.

Is our pride a deep side?

We are one."

"Annaliese Cullen" Anna said after Jasper was done. Her voice was perfect.

"Dancing bears,

Painted wings.

Things I almost

Remember… and

A song someone sings

Once upon a December,

Someone holds me,

Safe and warm.

Horses prance through

A silver storm.

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory.

Far away, long ago

Glowing dim as an ember,

Things my heart

Used to know, things it yearns

To remember…

And a song

Someone sings

Once upon a

December."

She finishes smiling.
