Chapter 2

JPOV

We pulled up outside of a long, red brick building that looked very stereotypically English.

I checked everyone's feelings. Bella sent me a wave of excited nerves, and from everyone else- Boredom. Bella would get bored of repeating school one day, and get bored eventually. I hoped that day would come soon, I don't know if I can handle this every first day for the next fifty years.

We got out of the car, Rose slamming the door with unnecessary force, showing her displeasure at the new school, which annoys me, because believe me I can tell just how annoyed she is, without her help!

EmPOV

Damn this is one looooong school. It takes up a whole road to itself! We walked towards the door we saw, and spotted the main entrance. We dinged a bell for assistance, and an Irish, amber eyed secretary-Mrs Foaly, greeted us cheerfully.

"Hello, you must be the new pupils. Wait over their please," she said kindly, with a comforting Irish lilt, indicating a roomy seating arrangement.

A tiny blonde girl bounced over to us where we were sat, totally unfazed by the presence of six vampires, reminding me of Bella (but not as clumsy!)

"Hi," she chirped happily "my name is Miranda," she beamed, "but I go by Andi, follow me, please," she called as she led us down a corridor.

We walked in silence, watching Andi's graceful dance-like walk (which was scarily similar to Alice's), until we stopped in front of a door labelled "head teacher".

"This is the head's room" Andi explained to our confused faces. "It's what we call the principle" she said with a chuckle at our expressions.

She knocked on the door, and listened.

"Come in Andi" a voice called. Andi danced into the room cheerfully.

"Hi, Mrs R," Andi greeted the beautiful young lady, sat behind the desk, and then pointed to us. "These are the newbies"

"Of course, I'm Mrs Robinson, it's a pleasure" Mrs Robinson introduced herself. She reached over and shook our hands, without flinching at our icy touch. Did humans have no fear of us big scary muscular, and (in my case at least) attractive vamps anymore? "Show them around Andi?"Mrs R continued, to Andi.

"Sure thing," Andi beamed, and we set off down the corridor once more. "I'll show you around, and explain a few small things, and then we'll get your schedules" She turned away once more and bounced down the corridor. She sure did remind me of my tiny pixie sister, being so small, and energetic like that.

"Wow," I murmured to Jazz at vampire speed so low that only we would hear, "That kid has more bounce than Alice!" Jazz smiled, and Alice turned to glare at me.

Andi turned and laughed "I'll choose to take that as a compliment!"We stared at her in shock. How on earth would Andi have ever been able to hear that? I was about to voice my thoughts when Edward beat me to the point "How-" He started but Andi cut him off.

"I'll explain later. Now," she paused leading us into a small room with several chairs in front of a desk, giving it the impression of a shrink's office. "I think you had better have seat."

The door flew open with a bang, and a pretty brunette girl, with bright violet eyes burst in.

"Hey, Andi, did you-" the girl started but then she turned and noticed us. "Err-Hi" She said awkwardly. "My name is Nel. It's a pleasure to meet you." Nel finished with an apologetic look at Andi. "I didn't know about-" Nel tried, But Andi cut her off.

"Well you didn't get the memo then!" She glared at Nel.

"Sorry" Nel replied looking guilty. Andi laughed at her expression, and pulled her into a hug.

"Its fine, I was just talking with the Cullens" Andi said casually, although her eyes were conveying something and she looked like Edward and Alice whenever they have those annoying silent conversations. Understanding dawned in Nel's eyes.

"Oooohhhh" she nodded

"Yes." Andi agreed

The exchange made me feel even more frustrated.

"Care to share?" I asked them, still feeling slightly disgruntled.

"Of course," Andi nodded, and Nel rolled her eyes.

"Well, the thing is…" she paused "We know"

We all froze at her words. They can't know about vampires. We could all feel the tension in the room.

"About..?" Edward pushed nervously. I would hate to be Jasper right now. The emotions must be killing him.

"Vampires" the two girls stated calmly.

There was silence in the room then, "Wha-," "How-," "Whe-," My family burst out, after recovering from shock.

"Well, here at Heswall High," Andi said, and Nel rolled her eyes, "here we go with the welcome speech" Nel murmured.

Andi glared at her, and then continued, "Shut up. Anyway, here at Heswall high we are slightly, different"

"Different?" Alice questioned.

"Yes. Gifted, talented, unusual, peculiar, not the norm, atypical, odd, irregular, strange, unique, out of the ordinary, abnormal, uncommon, nonconforming to the crowd- Different" Nel explained.

"I know what different means," Alice said, exasperated "Different how?" She clarified.

"Different in all kinds of ways," Andi answered simply.

"Is it different like us? What about Nel's eyes?" Edward said curiously.

"Nel is able to control magic," Andi explained.

Wow. I did not see that one coming. "Like a witch?" I pressed for more information.

Nel chuckled lightly "I suppose so, but we go by enchanters, or enchantresses." Wow. (that word seems to be my word of the day, but everything today is worth a wow- apart from maybe the school uniform) first vampires, and werewolves, then witches, what next fairies?

Edward and Nel burst out laughing, and the others stared at them like they had grown another head.

Damn- another mind reader!

"Yes" Nel answered me, to my family's confused faces, "As Emmet puts it 'damn- another mind reader!'" My family chuckled. "This reminds me," Nel continued, "I need to give you these," she held out six pagers.

"Why-," I asked, but Nel interrupted.

"They protect your mind from reading. Our MIT department developed these in the seventeenth century, after the mind and magic faculty started complaining of headaches, and that readers cheated on tests. Oh, and it's also just a pager." Nel finished.

"Yes," Andi nodded in agreement, "the school likes to page you memos and important announcements. They are very useful, but some people don't read their memos!" she said with a teasing glare at Nel.

"Why was there a memo about us joining the school, and what's the MIT department?"Bella asked

"So that we can explain fully about the school without anyone flying in our doing anything that doesn't look human. And also because I get to send the memos and I love the funny beep it makes when I press send!" Andi explained with a giggle. "And the MIT department is like IT or ICT in other schools. It stands for Magical Investigational Technology. We develop better phones and computers, and equipment such as these pagers."

"If Nel is an enchantress, what can you do?" Rosalie asked Andi.

Andi smiled at Rose and answered "I am a host. I can influence and feel people's emotions, I have super strength, speed, I can fly, I don't need sleep," two electric blue wings popped out the little hosts back, which matched her eyes. She fluttered them then continued,

"I am organised, love parties, am a great potioneer, I love company, and I love to cook. I am basically the perfect host; it's what my kind live for. Are there anymore questions?"

We all shook our heads, still slightly shocked by the tiny host, who was now fluttering a few inches off the floor.

"Well then, I will introduce you to the school. Let me show you around," our small friend beamed, and flew out of the small room, and returned to the main entrance hall.

"Nel?"Andi asked, "Could you?"

Nel nodded and grinned. "Now it's my turn to show off," Nel moved her fingers in a flicking motion and said in a strange voice that was almost singing "changum normalmente,"

Suddenly, the room changed. The carpeted floor changed to marble, and the corridor beyond (which I could see through the newly crystal and glass doors) transformed in a similar way. The walls which were originally a dingy shade of grey were now cream. The windows were now flooding the hall with light, and Mrs Foaly sprouted wings, and was smiling happily, probably happy to get back her nice work area. All of the posters on the walls of the organs and literature changed and now contained information on witchcraft, pixie dust, flying aero-dynamics, and algebra- Wait-algebra?!

Nel and Edward laughed once more. Damn- I forgot to turn on the pager. I pouted and clipped the pager into my pocket.

Andi caught on to what I was thinking and grinned, "We may not have entirely normal subjects, but maths is still maths!" my family laughed. "Come on, I'll introduce you to some people I know!" Andi continued happily.

I have a feeling that this year at school may be better than the last.
