The week leading up to school sucked. I had been down to the beach once but some kids around my age just kept staring at me. I never went back. I hardly even saw Archie any more.

Seth POV

"Jake, when can we ever go back?" I asked Jacob who was sitting on his bed. "I'm sick of it here."

"You know we cant go for a while. We have to finish here first." Jacob said back.

"How long to go, cause I want to go back home?"

"Probably another couple of months."

"Why that long? We aren't doing anything here anyway."

"Seth, just shut up." Jacob said louder. I shut my mouth and sat on my bed. We had been gone for ages. We were helping another pack of real wolfs in their fight against economy. There really isn't much for us to do, but to show them our ways. It's boring and I don't know why we are doing it. Jacob really misses Renezmee. Sam and Quil were the lucky ones that got to go home and meet these new people that moved to La Push. That's all we know. I have no idea why they needed to go but it was probably just an excuse to get back to Emily and Claire.

Lakota POV

It's the first day of school. I got ready and went and had breakfast.

"Are you ready?" Archie asked me when I had finished. He is coming back to school too.

"Yeah, I'm ready." I said back to him. I grabbed my bag and headed outside to him. He was already in the car.

"Have fun at school." My mum said as I got in the car. Archie started the car and drove off. He seemed happier these days. I don't know why, but there is heaps of things I don't know anymore. Especially the two strange men that keep coming over. The older one, Reece, always talks to me about random things, always about friends or my mom. We turned the corner and I seen the school. I wasn't very big but has heaps of kids. We parked in the parking lot and got out. I looked around and people were looking at us. Then I saw a guy come up to Archie.

"Hey man." He said to Archie.

"Hey Quil." Archie said back. This guy was tanned too and quiet good looking. He had big muscles and was tall like Archie. "Are you ok to go?" Archie asked me. Wow! He still cared.

"Um, yeah." I said back. Archie turned to Quil and left. I looked around for a second when the bell rang. People hurried into the school but I dawdled behind. Almost everyone was in when I walked through the doors. I had no idea what I was doing. I walked into the school and looked around. Some people were at their lockers, others were giving their boyfriends and girlfriends goodbye kisses, and some were heading for class. I walked around for a while and eventually found a room that had Office written on the front. I walked in and there was Archie already. I gave him a fake smile and he walked out, already with his time table. I walked up to the office desk and stood there for a while since the lady at the desk was on the phone. She soon hung up and turned to me.

"Hello." she said.

"Hi, um, I'm Lakota. I'm here to get my timetable."

"Yes, yes, right." She said picking up two pieces of paper and handing them to me. "One is your timetable and the other is your locker combination. If you need anything don't be afraid to come and ask." the lady said and I nodded. "Have a nice first day." she said as I left. I looked around the corridor and I couldn't see anybody. I was alone. I walked around trying to find my locker when I heard somebody.

"Get your ass back here!"

I turned and seen one guy chasing another. As one ran by I watched him and wasn't watching where I was going and ran into the side of a locker. I hit my head and fell backwards onto the floor. How embarrassing.

"Hey, are you ok?" I heard someone say. I opened my eyes hoping I was dreaming and I saw the second guy leaning over me.

"Um, I think so." I said standing up and the guy was supporting me. My eyes came into focus and I looked at his face. He is quite good looking too. He had nice blonde hair and blue eyes. I just stared at him.

"Are you sure you're ok?" he asked again.

"Um, yeah. My head sort of hurts but yeah." I said still staring at him, and he was staring back at me and I was feeling dizzy.

"Come sit over here." he said leading me to a chair. I sat down and he sat next to me. "Let me have a look at your head." he said moving my side fringe out of the way. "It looks ok. No bump yet."

"Thanks." I said, my dizziness starting to go away.

"I'm Alec by the way." he said holding his hand out and I took it.

"I'm um, I, uh. Lakota." I said. I am so weird.

"So Lakota. Are you new here? Cause I've never seen you before."

"Yeah. Just moved here a week ago."

"Really?"

"Yeah, with my mum and brother."

"Is he that new big guy that's hanging with all those other big guys your brother?"

"Yeah, probably." I said and the throbbing was starting to stop.

"So were you off to class?"

"My locker actually."

"You need any help?"

"Sure." I said and he smiled. I showed him the number to my locker and he showed me straight to it. He said it was right near his. I looked at him up and down. Man was he something to look at. I could tell his body was really nice through his shirt. He caught me looking and smiled. I just looked down and blushed.

"Are you going to class or do you need my help finding that too?"

"Please?" I said. On the way to the class room he asked me where I moved from, if I liked playing sports. I told him I played a heap of sports and he seemed interested. We stopped at a class room and he pointed inside.

"Well thanks." I said and smiled and he smiled back.

"Any time." I then knocked on the door and opened it. The whole class turned to me and looked. I walked up to the teacher. She had bright orange hair and giant glasses. She looked ridiculous. If I had my friends here we would just start cracking up right there and then. But without them there is no point so I handed her my timetable to look at.

"Well, I'm Mrs Samuel. You may take a seat next to Elise in the back row." She said pointing to a spare seat next to a girl. "Everybody, this is Lakota." Great, she just had to introduce me didn't she? I walked over to the seat she pointed to and sat down. Mrs Samuel then started talking bout English stuff. I sat there looking at my timetable. They had dancing here. That is ok I guess. It wont be as good as the one in my old school but it will have to do, the only thing that will keep me sane in this place. I scanned my timetable again and seen I had drama too. What the hell. I'll probably just embarrass myself in front of everybody. Not that I cared what people thought about me much but it was just that I sucked.

"Hi, I'm Elise." The girl said that was sitting next to me.

"Hey, I'm obviously Lakota" I said. I hate my name. It just sounds cliché in a way, just like an old ladies name. Like Gretchen.

"So how long have you been here?"

"A week."

"So you don't know anybody here?"

"Nuh.""Would you want to hang out with me and my friends? I mean you don't have to if you don't want to or anything." She seemed like a nice girl. The always peppy type.

"Sure." I said and she smiled. In English they were doing Advertisements, which I had already done, so I just sat there and drew on my book. The bell went and I went to my locker. There was Alec at his.

"Hey Lakota." he said walking over to me.

"Hi." I said back.

"What class do you have now?" he asked. He was really confident.

"Um, H.P.E." I said looking at my timetable.

"Really, so do I. Do you want to walk together?"

"Sure." I said and we headed for the gym.

Seth POV

School would be starting up again today. I wish I could just go back and go to school with my friends again. I was going crazy here. Nothing interesting happened here. Nobody even speaks to each other anymore. We're all home sick. And to tell the truth I miss my mum.

"Seth!" I heard my sister Leah yell. "Amanda's here to see you."

Great. She annoyed me so much. She has been flirting with me this whole time and trying to get with me. It was ok at first and I flirted back but then I just got sick of it. I sighed and jumped off the roof of the house we are staying in. I walked over to the front door where I saw Amanda and Leah. Leah gave me a look that said get rid of her NOW. I could tell Leah was really getting sick of her too.

"Hey Sethy." Amanda said in her annoying voice.

"Hi." I said back. She came up to me and wrapped her arms round me. Leah rolled her eyes and walked back into the house, closing the door.

"So Sethy, do you want to do something today? We could go see a movie, or go swimming, or find something really cool to do, like just you and me, alone? We could go to my house." she said putting her hands all over me."Um sorry Amanda. I have prior commitments." I lied."Commitments to what?" She always has to be so nosy doesn't she?

"Well Jacob wants to have some boy time today. He is really missing his girl.""Ooooohh. Is Jakey feeling love sick?" she said still putting her hands all over me more."I guess you could say that. He's been really depressed."

"You and Jake should go and have your boy time then. But I want to do something just you and me soon."

"I'll see. Well I better get going then. Bye Amanda." I said and ran in through the door and shut it. I felt so mean but she was annoying. Jacob laughed as I walked into the lounge room and slumped down.

"Are we gonna have some boy time Sethy?" Jake said in an Amanda type voice laughed at me.
