"No!" I yelled, holding onto someone as hard as I possibly could. "Don't leave me!"
Whoever I was holding knelt down, looking at me with beautiful topaz eyes. "Charlie, listen to me. We're only going to leave you for a little while. But I promise, we'll find you."
"No! Where did mommy and daddy go? Where is Ness-"
"Charlie, please, don't do this." The person pleaded, the pain evident in his voice. "Please."
"Don't leave me!"
"Charlie-"
"No!" I yelled again, coming forward and throwing my small arms around a much bigger body.
The person hugged me back, then kissed my forehead. "I love you Charlie." he whispered, then he stood and disappeared.
"NO!" I yelled, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Charlie! Get out of bed!" A voice hollered, and then someone started banging on my door. "We're going to be late- again!"
I groaned, blinking the sleep from my eyes. I hated that dream. I had it all the time, and every time I woke up with a feeling of abandonment. My therapist- yes I had a therapist- said it was a memory, or a part of a memory. From being left at the orphanage.
You think I would get over it after twelve years.
"Come on, Charlie!" My brother yelled once again.
I rolled my eyes. "I'm getting up!"
My brother. He actually was my brother….I think. I mean, he was left with me at the orphanage, and we have the same birthday. Everyone said we knew each other when we were brought in. Everyone assumed we were related.
But I was never so sure.
I mean, we didn't look anything alike. Or act anything alike. Jordan was- well, girls called him "hot". He was tall, lean yet muscular, with dark brown hair, which curled slightly, and dark blue eyes. He was on the football team, and had girls falling over him at every moment. He was one of the most popular guys in school.
I was different. I wasn't tall, but I wasn't short either. Just normal, for a girl anyway. I had long, wavy, auburn hair that hung right below my shoulders and little, wispy side bangs. I had emerald green eyes- quiet a stretch from Jordan's dark blue ones. I was in band, and show choir. I loved music. Any from of music. And I loved to read. I don't think Jordan had picked up a book, one that wasn't school related, in his entire life.
But, we were lucky enough to be adopted together. A nice couple took us in, only after two months of being at the orphanage. Truthfully, I couldn't remember the orphanage at all.
Jordan said we could remember some things, but not enough to put anything together.
"Charlie!" Jordan yelled again.
I groaned, then pulled myself out of bed. I got ready quickly, not wanting Jordan to come up and drag me down the stairs by my hair. I ran down the stairs, finding Jordan standing there with an impatient look on his face. I smiled at him brightly, running out to the car before he could say anything.
Mom and dad were both at work by that time, so I didn't have to worry about them. Jordan was the one who made sure I was up everyday. Which, I'll admit, wasn't an easy task.
"If I'm late again, I'm going to murder you." He said cheerfully, as he slid into the seat beside me and took off down the street.
I grinned at him playfully. "You wouldn't dare. You love me to much."
He let out a small smile. "So you think." He muttered, pulling into the school parking lot quickly. We parked, then noticed a huge group of kids standing to the side of the parking lot. "I wonder what's going on over there." Jordan said, sliding out of the car and walking towards the group. I sighed, knowing I had nothing better to do, and followed him.
"Chris, dude, what's going on?" Jordan asked, slapping one of his hands on a guys back.
The guy turned, a huge smile on his face. "Dude, new kids. Look at their cars!"
Jordan raised an eyebrow, then followed the looks. Then he let out a low whistle. I looked over also, but I just saw two cars, one black and one red. Both looked pretty,
As you can tell, I know nothing about cars.
"Damn." Jordan muttered. "Who are these people?"
"New Doctor in town." Some kid answered him, looking positively ecstatic at being able to talk to Jordan. "He has like eight kids or something. But two of them are at a boarding school. The other six, they're here."
"That's a lot of kids." Jordan muttered.
"But that isn't the weirdest part." The kid continued. "They're all adopted.'
Jordan and I shared at look. "Really."
The kid nodded quickly. "Yeah. Apparently, two of them are actually their kids, Edward and Alice or something. Then the doctors wife? Yeah, apparently her sister died or something, and they adopted her niece and nephew, Jasper and Rosalie Hale, I think. And then, they adopted two more, and they're also brother and sister. Bella and Emmett."
"What year are they?" Jordan asked, looking slightly overwhelmed.
"Uh, lets see." The kid looked like he was trying to remember. "Edward, Alice, Bella, and Jasper are all Juniors, like us. Emmett and Rosalie are Seniors."
I let my eyebrows raise. Those were really odd names…so why did they sound so familiar?
"How do you know all of this?" Chris asked, blinking at the kid.
He looked embarrassed. "My dad's the principal."
Oh! Now I knew him! Sam Wood. Yeah, nobody liked the principals son. Well, I guess no one tried to like the principals son.
"Oh, well, thanks." Jordan said, instantly moving towards the school as the bell rang. He grabbed my shoulder, pulling me along with him. "That's weird." He muttered, and I just nodded. Maybe he remembered the names too. I waited, but he didn't mention it.
Maybe its just my imagination.
"Charlie! You have to see the new kids!" My friend, Amy, yelled. She ran up to me, smiling shyly at my brother. She had liked him as long as I can remember. He smirked at her. I rolled my eyes. Amy caught the action, and instantly turned her eyes back to me. "They're all so…beautiful."
"Beautiful?" Jordan scoffed.
"Yes." Amy insisted. "I mean, up until now, you and Charlie were the best looking kids in school." I blushed. Damn. I hated it when people said that. "But now, I think you're beat."
"Really?" Jordan laughed, throwing an arm over my shoulder. "Hear that, sis? We're beat."
"I heard." I said, shrugging his arm off. The bell rang and we all groaned. "Come on, we're late." Jordan and I both took off running. This was our third late this week. I knew we were going to get detention. Again.
We both had Algebra two, so when we got to the classroom, Jordan pulled the door open and pushed me in first.
Such a gentleman.
Every eye turned to us- including the eyes of the two people standing in the front of the classroom. Both were guys stood there, looking as if they had got hit by a truck or something. The first guy was tall, with shaggy, honey blonde hair, and amazing eyes. Topaz eyes. I had never seen eyes like that before…had I? He was lean, yet muscular. I couldn't look away. He was the most amazing guy I had ever seen.
Jordan nudged me and I instantly moved forward so he could come in. I took that moment to study the other guy. He was slightly shorter than the first, and he looked younger. He had auburn hair- actually hair that matched mine. He was pale, really pale. Actually, so was the other one. His eyes-
Were the same as the others. I thought they weren't related?
Anyway, the second guy was also very attractive- but I didn't feel attracted to him. At all. Odd.
"Ah, Miss Samuels. Mr. Samuels." Mrs. Evans suddenly came into view, standing in front of the two new kids. My eyes instantly snapped to her. "Late. Again. How shocking." The kids giggled, and Jordan sent her an easy grin.
"I blame my dear sister."
I glared at him instantly. "I'm not the one who had to stop and look at the cars." I snapped, making the kids laugh.
"No." Jordan agreed. "But your the reason we were running late in the first place."
"Mr. Samuels-"
"Maybe you should wake me up earlier." I snapped.
"Miss Samuels-"
"Maybe you should use a damn alarm clock-"
"Jared! Charlie!" We both snapped our attention back to Mrs. Evans- who wasn't looking very pleased. I heard everyone giggling, and I saw amused, yet amazed, looks on the new kids faces. "Both of you, go sit down!"
We both made our ways to our desks, kids smiling and winking at us on our way. I slid into my seat, and Jordan slid into his beside us.
Mrs. Evans sighed, turning back to the new kids. "Mr. Hale, Mr. Cullen. Please take the desks behind the Samuel kids." She sent us both a look, "They promise to be on their best behavior."
Both boys shot each other a look, one I couldn't interpret. The blond one made his way to sit behind Jordan, while the other sat behind me. I heard girls giggling as they walked by, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Oh, and Mr. Samuels? Miss Samuels?" Jordan and I both looked at Mrs. Evans. "Detention."
I sighed, letting my head fall forward on my desk. I heard Jordan groan. "Your fault." He muttered.
I didn't bother to answer, just listened to Mrs. Evans explain our next assignment. She ended her lecture about ten minutes before class started. "You all know the drill." She said, sitting at her desk. "You can either choose to do your homework, or you can talk. Make sure your homework is done before you come tomorrow." At that, she sent Jordan a look. He just grinned back.
I instantly turned around in my desk, facing Jordan. He rolled his eyes. "I'm guessing you don't feel like doing homework?"
I shook my head, leaning back against the arm of my desk. I saw both of the new kids looking at me. Jordan saw it too. "Hello." He said, smiling slightly. He turned so both of them could see him fully. "I'm Jordan. This is my sister, Charlie."
"Hello." The guy behind me said softly, a small smile on his lips. "I'm Edward Cullen. This is my brother, Jasper Hale."
Jasper gave a small nod, his eyes still on me. "Great to meet you." I said, smiling slightly.
"Admirer alert." Jordan said, his eyes focused behind me. I turned, then groaned as I saw Sean Williams walking towards me. Sean was a nice guy, actually he was a friend of Jordan's, but he just couldn't understand that I didn't want to date him.
I saw Edward and Jasper's eyes both land on the boy, a hard glint in their eyes. I frowned, confused. "Hello, Charlotte."
I winced. No one called me Charlotte. No one but him. I turned. "Hello, Sean."
He smiled at me, leaning against my desk slightly. I tried to get as far away as possible- without falling out of my desk. I heard someone chuckle. "So, you doing anything this weekend?" He asked, trying to casually flip his dark hair out of his eyes. And failing.
"Uh-"
"Sean, man, you know she's going to say no." Jordan cut in, saving me. "Why do you keep asking?"
Sean shrugged, smirking slightly. "I figure she'll get sick of me asking one day, and just agree."
Now I thought I heard a growl. A growl? That cant be right. "Not going to happen, Sean." I said, then grabbed my things as the bell rang. Jordan chuckled, following me towards the door. I thought I heard the new kids say my name, but maybe I was wrong.
I made my way into my second class, then towards my desk. "Have you seen the new kids yet?" Amy asked me instantly, sitting in her seat beside me.
I shrugged. "I had first hour with two of them."
"Which two?" She asked excitedly, her eyes huge.
I couldn't help but grin back at her. "Uh, the two junior boys. Edward and Jasper."
"Aren't they gorgeous?" She squealed. I laughed, instantly thinking of Jasper.
"Yeah."
The class filled quickly, and then there were three people standing in front of the room, each of them talking to the teacher. I recognized Jasper instantly, and I saw him look up and meet my eyes. He smiled slightly, then turned to talk to the girl beside him. She was beautiful, with dark brown hair, and the eyes they all seemed to have. She instantly straightened, looking around. When her eyes fell on me, she looked straight at me, looking as if she was about to cry.
The girl beside her also looked at me. She was beautiful, like all of them, with the same eyes. She was a lot shorter than the girl next to her, with short, spiky, black hair. She also watched me with a strange look on her face.
"Class, this is Jasper Hale." He smiled slightly, his eyes still on me. "Bella Swan." The tall one smiled. "And Alice Cullen." The short one gave a small wave.
Mr. Thompson looked around the room. "Okay, raise your hand if I say your name. There is one desk open behind Miss Tyler." Amy raised her hand, smiling brightly. "One beside Mr. Christenson." A boy on the other side of the room raised his hand. "And one beside Miss Samuels." I raised my hand, looking at the seat to my left in surprise. I swore someone sat there.
The kids all looked at each other, and then the short one, Alice, gracefully made her way to the desk on the other side of the room. Jasper sat behind Amy, giving me a small smile as he walked by, and Bella sat beside me.
Amy smirked at me, raising her eyebrows and making a small hand motion behind her. I rolled my eyes. She thought Jasper was hot. Which was true, yes, but I didn't have to admit it to her.
Mr. Thomson started going on about the book we read- or, we were supposed to read. I hadn't actually gotten that far yet. I thought I saw Bella watching me, but every time I looked over, she was facing the front.
Maybe I'm getting paranoid.
I practically ran out of the room when the bell rang. I made my way to my show choir class, actually thankful that there was no way any of the new kids could be in there. You had to try out for the class last year.
But that hour flew by quickly. Too quickly.
I made my way to my next class, and wasn't surprised to see Bella and Edward standing there. They were holding hands, both of their eyes on me. I looked away, slightly confused, and made my way to my desk.
Both of them ended up on the other side of the room, so I was off the hook there.
My next class had Jasper in it. He ended up two desks in front of me, and I found myself staring at the back of his head the entire hour. I don't know why I felt so drawn to him. I couldn't help it.
After that, it was finally time for lunch. I practically ran to the cafeteria, quickly sliding into my seat beside Jordan. Amy sat across from me, Chris on her side across from Jordan. This was our lunch group. A lot of people would have loved to sit with Jordan, but he made it clear that he only wanted us around during lunch.
I saw the new kids walk in, along with the two I hadn't met. They were holding hands, both looking around frantically. The girl was beautiful- even by their standards. She was tall with blond hair that curled around her shoulders elegantly. She was the type of girl that girls hated on sight. The guy was tall, muscular, with dark hair. Both had the topaz eyes. It made me wonder if they all had matching contacts or something.
I saw Edward motion to us slightly, and both of them, Rosalie and Emmett, looking over. Their eyes instantly landed on us. I noticed that they seemed to be looking at Jordan. I frowned.
"Charlie? Are you listening?" Jordan asked, breaking into my thoughts. I looked at him, startled.
"What?"
Amy giggled. "Jordan was saying that the new girl was really hot." I heard the disappointment in her voice. The disappointment she was trying to hide.
"Which one?" I questioned, thinking of the three of them.
"Alice." Jordan replied instantly, smiling.
I couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face. "Uh, excuse us." I looked up, surprised to see all six of the new kids staring down at us. "Do you mind if we sit with you?" Edward continued, smiling slightly.
"Sure." Jordan replied instantly, surprising everyone.
They immediately separated. Bella sat next to me, Edward on her side. Jasper sat next to Amy. Alice sat on the other side of Chris, while Rosalie sat beside Jordan, Emmett on her other side.
"So, where are you from?" Jordan questioned after a moment.
"Washington." Alice piped up, smiling brightly.
"That's cool." Chris replied, smiling slightly at Alice.
Jordan sent him a look, and Chris immediately looked the other way. I smirked. "So, you two are related?" Edward asked, looking at me and Jordan.
We both looked at each other a moment, then shrugged. "They don't know." Amy said, smiling as she looked at us. "They were adopted."
"Because everyone needs to know that." Jordan muttered and Amy's smile instantly fell. I hit him in the back of the head.
"Be nice."
"Make me."'
"Hey, no fighting." Chris said, laughing. We both looked up, only to see smiles on everyone's faces. "They fight constantly." Chris informed everyone.
"We saw." Jasper drawled in a slight southern accent. I looked at him, seeing the amusement in his eyes. "Detention?"
I groaned, "Don't remind me. I forgot."
"Don't do that." Jordan said, shooting me a glare. He looked back at everyone. "She forgot two weeks ago and had to go to detention for a straight week. Which just makes me have to stay after too, since I drive her."
"You cant drive?" Bella asked from beside me softly.
"I can." I replied, once again shooting my dear brother a glare. "Mom and dad." Was it my imagination, or did Bella and Edward wince when I said that? "bought us a car to share. I think I've driven it four times in a year."
"Her driving is horrible." Jordan put in.
"I passed the test on the first time." I said instantly, glaring. "You had to take it twice."
"It was raining-"
"Cause that's an excuse."
"I couldn't see-"
"I'm the one with contacts."
"You should-"
"Stop fighting." Amy said loudly, startling us. Everyone was laughing again and I instantly felt myself blush brightly. I saw Edward and Bella both stare at my red cheeks, fascinated. Alice was looking at Jasper. Jasper was watching me. I looked away quickly, blushing even more.
"Are you guys in any…activities?" Rosalie asked, her eyes on Jordan.
"I'm on yearbook." Amy said instantly.
"Basketball." Chris added, smirking.
"Charlie is "music oriented"." Jordan said, smirking slightly. "She's in band, and show choir."
"What do you play?" Edward asked instantly, his eyes shining. I didn't know why that made me so happy, but it did.
"Uh, the flute. And the piccolo." I mumbled.
"And the piano." Jared added, smirking. "She never stops."
"Jared plays football." I said instantly, trying to get the attention off of me. "He's really good."
"Football?" Emmett asked, smiling as he looked at him. "Great."
Why did I feel like I was missing something?
The bell rang and we all stood, grabbing our trash. I threw all of mine onto Jordan's trey. He glared at me, but I just smirked and walked away quickly. "What's your next class?" A soft voice asked from beside me. I looked up, startled, and saw Bella and Edward there.
"American history." I replied, smiling at them.
"Ours also." Edward said, his eyes bright. "Do you mind us walking with you?"
I shook my head, "No."
They both smiled as they walked beside me, though none of us said anything. We walked into class, and both of them ended up beside me. I learned more about them, like the fact that they were dating, as were Rosalie and Emmett. They said Jasper and Alice had been dating, but it had ended some time ago. Something about wanting something different.
I cant say I wasn't happy that Jasper was single. I was ecstatic, actually.
I was almost sorry that the class ended, but it did and I made my way into band. None of them were in here. I knew they wouldn't be.
After school, I made my way to our car and found Jordan already there. "Hey, I invited the new kids over tonight." He said as we climbed into the car. "They're going to come about five."
"For what?" I questioned, my heart pounding a little harder as I thought of Jasper there. In my house.
Jordan shrugged. "I don't know. I said to watch a movie or something. They all agreed."
I nodded, then glanced out over the parking lot. All of them were standing around their cars, watching us pull away.
