This is, how we'll stand when,
When they burn our houses down,
This is what we'll be Oh Glory!
-Let The Flames Begin {Paramore}


Oooh... this is the longest chapter I've written for any story!

I swear the wolves and vampires are on their way! I'm sorry it took so long to get them here, but they are on their way! I promise! Don't hate me!

Now, I don't like to do this, but just get the reviews up past 8 and I'll update, but until then I'll be working on my other stories or reading other people's :). The faster you review, the quicker and more eager I am to update.

MPOV:

I pulled up to the school at 7:34, which meant that not everyone was there. I parked in a spot a few rows back from the school. I was parked between a shiny silver Volvo, and an old, gray truck. The Volvo was gorgeous and shining bright. If there was any sun, it would be reflecting off of the cars exterior. "Gahd, you could blind someone with that car!" I mumble to myself. I looked over at the shabby truck, and felt thankful that not every car was as flashy as the Volvo. The truck was old and had chipped paint. From inside my car, the interior of the trunk looked like worn leather. I would have to thank the owner for having a good old fashioned car, like my Volkswagen.

I pulled my keys out of the ignition, grabbed my bag and phone, and swung the door open. The frigid air hit me like a ton of ice blocks. Thank God it wasn't raining! I zipped up my jacket to my chin, pulled my hood over my head, trying to keep in as much body heat as possible, and made a run for the building marked "Office."

I pushed the door open and stepped into the warm room. It was small, but just big enough to fit a desk.

The woman behind the desk looked up from her computer when the door slammed behind me. The look on her face was not welcoming. "Hi, my name's Marie Banks." I said confidently, walking over to her desk. She didn't say anything, but instead, typed something into the computer.

"Right. You're new here." She said, still looking all but happy. She placed two sheets of paper on the counter. "This is your schedule and a map of the school. Your locker is number 574. Your combination is on the top of your schedule, along with your locker number in case you forget. Just 'cause you're new, doesn't give you the excuse of being late. Ten minutes is the latest we will allow, and that's only because you're new. If you were a normal student, lateness would not be tolerated. Even one second after ten minutes, and you get an after school detention. First period starts in five minutes. Everyone just walks around outside until the first bell, but I suggest you use this time to go find your locker." She said, annoyance saturating her tone. She just nodded once before turning back to what she had been working on. Maybe the La Push students moving in was stressing her out. She was probably the one dealing with their schedules and shit like that. All of the teachers were probably stressed to the max.

I walked out of the office with my head held high. I wouldn't let her ruin my confidence. I looked good today, not that the aunt had appreciated my good taste. She looked furious when I walked into the house to get the twins. I was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a pair of red pumps, and an aqua top that barely covered my boobs. It went to the edge of my bra, and exposed my cleavage. It hit just above my jeans, but was pulled up a tiny bit in the back, exposing the top of my red thong. My brunette hair was curled messily and went to my boobs. I had a smokey eye and red lipstick. It didn't overpower me, because I was tan skinned. The boys were gawking at me when I walked through the door and I could almost hear their perverted thoughts.

As I looked at my schedule, I felt my pocket vibrate. I pulled it out reluctantly and looked at the caller I.D. and answered it immediately. "Lacey Ann Marie Mason! Shit, I miss you so much!" I screamed. I was so excited, until I heard silent sobs on the other end of the line. "Lace? Lace, what's wrong. Shit! Did Drew break up with you?!" My mind was racing, trying to think of something that would make Little Miss Tough cry. It then just sprung into my mind. I couldn't get the words out. "Oh my gahd. Lacey, please don't tell me your pregnant." I whispered. She always said that she didn't want a child at an early age.

"Marie, I don't know what to do! I just found out, and I don't know how to tell Drew. Emma and Selena just left when I came out of the bathroom crying. They knew what my answer was, and they didn't want to be around 'a pregnant slut' as Emma put it. My parents are gonna find out soon and I'll be kicked out of the house. Drew will find out and break up with me. Marie, I have no where to go! I have no one to help me! I can't take care of a baby by myself!" Lacey sobbed. I wished I was there. I always knew that Emma and Selena were using her for her money. I loved Lacey for her amazing personality, and it tore me apart to have her sobbing like this. I wish I was back home!

"Look, Lace, babe, you need to first of all, tell Drew. If he really loves you, he'll stay. Then you need to tell your parents. They won't throw you out. They love you, and I'm sure they'll understand. Darling, I have to go to class, but if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to call me. I'll scream at the teacher and walk out of class if you need me too. This will work out. Make sure to call me right after you talk to Drew and your parents. I love you, Lace. Remember that I won't ever leave you. I'm your best friend and I love you like a sister." I said quietly and reassuringly. I honestly had no idea what was going to happen.

"Okay Marie. Thanks so much. I love you too. Thanks for being the best friend in the world."

"No prob, babe. I'll talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye" I heard a click on the other end and I put my phone in my pocket. Okay, three minutes until class starts. Just enough time to get completely lost.

Just then, I felt something huge bump into me, causing me to stumble, having to catch my balance on a tree. I turned around and glared at whoever just bumped into me. I was starring at a toned stomach with an eight pack that was showing through his black shirt, and great arms. I looked up searching for his face. He had warm, black eyes, and short black hair. When he spoke, his voice was deep. "Sorry bout that. I guess I wasn't looking down." He said, smiling at me. His little crack at my 5' 4" height was cute.

"Even if you looked down, you'd still only be seeing the tree-tops, you giant." I remarked, looking at him innocently. His eyes narrowed but his smile still shone bright in contrast to his russet skin.

"Well, if you're done making fun of my height, maybe you could tell me your name. I mean I want to know what to call the shrimp." He snickered.

"Well the shrimp go by Marie. I'm from Georgia. I got sent here cause of my attitude problems. What does the mountain go by?" I replied slyly, rolling my eyes at his remark.

"Jacob. I'm from La Push. Me and the rest of the La Push high school kids were sent here cause my friend accidentally set the school on fire." He said, laughing. His eyes moved from me to something off in the distance. "Speak of the devil."

I turned around and saw a group of guys, all russet skinned and 7 feet tall, walking towards us. They were all just as toned and muscular as Jacob. "Hey, guys! What's up? The shrimp over here is Marie." He said, pointing down at me. I turned to scowl at him, and he laughed at my attempt to intimidate him. I turned back to the guys as they all responded with "hi" and "hey."

"Marie, this is Emby, Quil, Collin, Brady, and Jared." Jacob said, pointing to each mountain of a boy. "Where's Seth?" Jacob asked, turning his attention to the boys named Quil and Embry.

"No idea, man. I don't think Sam let him off pa- um work yet. He'll probably be here any minute though." Quil replied. I cocked my head to the side at his cover up.

"Um, okay, it was great meeting you all, but I need to go find my locker and stuff." I said, unzipping my jacket. Man, these guys made it really warm. I looked up and saw everyone staring at me. When no one responded, I waved good bye and walked toward the school. Before I was out of earshot, I heard one of them saying in amazement. "Dude! She made Megan Foxx look like a man!" I smiled at his words.


It was finally lunch time, after the torture of sitting through Spanish, Trig, and History. I had Jacob in two of the three classes, and I had Brady in the other. Brady was extremely smart, and helped me catch up to everyone else. Jacob had me sit with him and was friendly the entire time. If it hadn't been for them, I probably wouldn't have made it through the first classes. That, and I had a feeling that they were the ones keeping all the staring guys at bay. They were intimidating to guys. They were huge, and could definitely beat up anyone that did something they didn't like.

As soon as I stepped away from Jacob, I was followed by some guy with blue eyes and dark blond hair. I walked quickly into the cafeteria, and he went to go sit down with a group of guys, never taking his eyes off me.

When I stopped watching the boy, I looked around. Jacob and his friends weren't there yet, so I didn't know who to sit with. I saw a table of all boys eagerly waiting for me to sit with them, but I would kill myself before I did that. I looked around once and spotted the Cullens and Hales. They were way more gorgeous in person. Okay, so scratch off trying to become friends with them. I was nothing compared to them. I saw the one with bronze hair look up at me, and I recognized him as the man that laughed at me in the airport. Next to him must be his girlfriend. She was just a gorgeous, and was most definitely one of the most beautiful girls ever. The guy's mouth turned up to form a smile at that thought. He turned away from me and leaned into the table to talk to them. A few seconds later, A girl with almost the same color hair, only curly, and brown eyes stood up from the table. She was just as beautiful, and was graceful as hell as she made her way to where I was standing. She was probably going to ask me to stop staring at them.

"Hi. I'm Renesmee Cullen. I saw you over here, and I didn't want you to be bombarded with all of the creeps staring at you, so I was wondering if you wanted to sit with me and my family." The girl said when she reached me. She had a friendly smile on her face, and she looked so innocent.

"Um. Okay, thanks." I said, following her back to her table. She sat down in one of the three empty seats, and I took the one next to her.

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Emmet Cullen. Don't mind his stupid jokes." She said, pointing at the biggest guy. He had curly hair and a huge grin spread from ear to ear. "This Alice Cullen. She's obsessed with fashion and might try to hold you hostage to make you her barbie." She pointed to a tiny, pixie like girl with spiky black hair. "'Bout time I get a break" I heard the girl with long brown hair mumble. "This is Jasper Hale. He's wicked calm, but sometimes he can get moody. He's great though." She pointed at the guy with honey blond hair and slight pain in his eyes. He smiled and stuck out his tongue at Renesmee, as if they were sharing some inside joke. "This is Bella Hale. She's the motherly one of the kids and is wicked protective. She's way more reasonable than Edward though." She said, whispering the last statement. Bella had soft brown hair and a motherly look on her face. I saw they boy next to Bella glare at Renesmee slightly. "This is Mr. Unreasonable himself, Edward Cullen. He's an amazing musician and the only other thing he ever does is stare at Bella all day." He had bronze hair and a small glare in his eyes, almost like a father would to his daughter. I heard a booming laugh, and turned to find Emmett trying to suppress his laughter. "And this is Rosalie. She's Jasper's twin and Bella's older sister." She said, pointing to the girl with long blond hair and a beautiful face. She looked miserable, but still stunning.

"Hey everyone!" I heard someone say loudly from a little farther away. I turned and saw Jacob walking towards the table with three trays worth of food and a huge grin on his face. He set his tray in front of the seat next to mine, and took notice of me before he sat down. "Marie!" He yelled wrapping me into a hug. He was extremely friendly. It made me smile.

When he released me, I looked over and saw Renesmee looking down, spinning her fork around her tray. She liked him. No, she didn't just like him, she loved him. I felt guilty suddenly. I wished I could help her get Jacob to like her.

Renesmee looked up with sad eyes, and I looked away quickly.

"I want a hug!" I heard Emmett yell. I looked at him, shocked, as he pushed away from the table. He walked over to me and pulled me into a bone crushing hug.

"Emmett. Can't. Breath." I managed. He let me go and smiled at me

"You're gonna be my best friend! Expect me to be around you a lot." He said, grinning insanely. He turned on his heals and went back to his seat.

Just before the bell rang, Edward stood up with his tray of food and the rest of his family imitated his movements. "Nice to meet you Marie."

Jacob rolled his eyes and then looked at me.

"Marie. I want you to promise me you wont become an Edward Minion." He said to me seriously.

"Don't forget. Without me, you don't get to see her." Edward called from the trashcan, a smirk on his face. Jacob quickly turned back to his empty tray while Renesmee and I looked at him confused. He just stood up and took his tray to the trash. Renesmee and I both stood up at the same time. We threw out our stuff and walked to the door.

"Bye Renesmee. Thanks for letting me sit with you today." I said. To my surprise, she pulled me into a hug.

"Call me 'Ness.' And no problem. You can sit with us tomorrow if you'd like. Emmett really likes you." She said, snickering.

"Ha ha. Yeah, he's kinda strong though. I'll see you Ness. Bye" I replied, receiving a 'good bye' from Ness, and we both turned to go to our next classes.

Hmm. Maybe I would sit with the Cullens and Hales tomorrow. It's better than being stared at by random guys. They were also intimidating. I just felt really bad about Ness liking Jacob. He was sweet, and I didn't blame her. I would have to help her get him.


A.N. SEE! I TOLD YOU THE VAMPS AND WOLVES WERE COMING!! HA HA I DID NOT LIE!

Okay so pretty much I've been listening to Nothing Else Matters by Metallica while I was writing this, and they're amazing. If you haven't listened to Metallica before, listen!

I have the next chapter outlined in my head, and I'm going to go start it once I post this. I'll finish it by the end of the day, then I'll work on my next chapter of Escape. The faster the reviews come, the faster the next chapter is up. Thanks for reading and reviewing and what not :].
