Chapter 2: High School Blues

It seems like so long ago since we were all so close. We used to be all on the same wave link even without my powers I could tell what both my sisters were thinking: Amy the fashion Queen would always be going through different designs for clothes since Mom and Dad put her on a strict shopping limit and Amanda would always be thinking about a new story she was going to create after she got bored reading them and I got to admit her stories were amazing even I loved reading them almost as much as I love to go hiking with Dad's pack members. Now they seemed like aliens Amanda spent every hour either talking about or spending time with Nahuel, after he moved into the main house it has been all she ever thinks about, I don't even want to read her mind anymore, because I was sick from all the romantic things she was always planning to do with him. Amy was the same she had fallen in love with a young vampire boy that was seventeen from our last visit to Tanya's house, she had taken in a boy that was just learning to control himself so he's still a little unstable but yet he came back with us and is now also living with us and they are disgustingly in love with each other and I swear that medium size, spike brunet with a baby face, made my older sister into a pervert because all she can do is picture him in sexy ways.

It was going to be our first day of high school and I was angry for two reason: the first one was Amy's fault she decided to dress me and Amanda in hot sexy girly clothes and have our hair down today, Amanda didn't mind after all she loved to help Amy with her dream of making clothes, but I was absolutely pissed that I was wearing a blue tight fitting tank top and a tight fitting hoodie over it with a jean mini skirt and heels! The other thing I was angry about was that both Nahuel and Amy's boyfriend, Hayden, were coming to school with us because Carlisle thinks it will be a good experience for both of them. Don't get me wrong it's not like I don't like both their boyfriends, Nahuel and Hayden were both awesome guys and prefect for my sisters but lately I been feeling like I'm invisible to them like one time when we went to the movie theater because I wanted to watch G.I. Joe while everyone went to see a romantic movie and since they finished before me their boyfriends took them on dates away from the theater and when I got out of the movie I was so piss to see the cars were gone from the parking lot, I had to walk all the way home from Seattle at human speed in the pouring rain it took me hours to get back. They apologized for it but I still feel a little hurt how could they forget their sister that shared the same face as them and been with them for all their lives.

As I walked down to breakfast they were all down there waiting for me but I didn't feel like eating breakfast with them so I walked pasted them before I could get to the door and make sure I actually don't have to walk to school today, dad caught me before I could get out of the door.

"Where do you think you are going Andrea?" He asked with a smug face that just added to the things that annoyed me this morning I hated when he called me Andrea I liked Andy way better. So I just stared at my Dad with an annoyed face, but he was telling me to eat breakfast in his head so after a moment of staring each other down I gave up and sat down at the dining table with everyone else.

"So Andy are you excited to be starting high school?" Nahuel asked trying to break the awkwardness during breakfast that mom served us. Everyone knew I didn't really want to be here sharing a meal with them; me and my sisters were still not on talking terms for forgetting me at the theater. I promised mother that I would at least be nice to their boyfriends and them so I put on a prefect smile.

"It's going to be great," I said in a cheery tone that lighten the mood my sisters were yelling in their heads as if I couldn't hear them if they didn't. They wanted to know if it was okay to talk to me again and grudgingly I nodded with a sweet smile that ended me up in a huge group hug with them.

"I'm so glad Andy you finally forgave us!" Amy yelled. I already forgave them but we were just not speaking but if that is what they thought who was I to rain on their parade. We all got into the cars we got for our birthdays last month so they still had the new car smell especially mine since it was so flashy Dad told me I couldn't drive it to many places, so I take rides in Amy's red Bugatti or Amanda's black Mercedes E class. My car is a Merced Bans S class so it was pretty flashy I guess. We all went in Amanda's car today and I wished for the whole ride I actually did walk to school it's better than watching a make out session with Amy and Hayden it was to the extent Amanda yelled for them to stop and only do that kind of stuff in a very private room, but it didn't stop them sure they toned it down but it was still a little annoying to see them kiss each other it was like they were rubbing it in my face that I didn't have a boyfriend. It's not like I haven't tried but no guy that I have met so far wanted a girl way stronger than them. Mom says that I'll find the specially guy but I don't know the only guy that likes to hang out with me is Sam's son Crag, but we were just buddies and he was one year older than me. As we drove into the parking lot I swear the whole student body was gathering around the car thinking that celebrities were going to come out of the car. I smiled the only thing I enjoyed more than sports or music was dazzling the small minds of humans.

As we got out the students minds got crazier and I couldn't blame them after all I would be going crazy if I were them staring at five dazzling creatures I thought were humans. The only problem I had about reading teenagers minds was that it usually was very dirty. They had really dirty minds when they saw us. I wonder how Edward could cope with all these thoughts he couldn't just switched it off like me, it must have been torture for all the times they had go through high school in different places. I walked with the rest my family into the school where more eyes and thoughts were on us mostly on me since it seemed I was the only one not taken yet. All the boys wanted to make me theirs, I wonder if they'll think that when they see me go wolf, I played with the idea of showing them right now, but after while I got rid of it I wasn't going to be the reason for the whole family to leave Forks so I was on my top behavior and went along with my sisters and their boyfriends until I got to my locker, I didn't have any classes with my sisters, Amanda was too smart and Amy was too lazy to take any class that wasn't lower levels. I was only taking stander level classes, I wanted to get good grades and still be able to sign up for every sport team this school had to offer.

I was walking too my class by myself when I felt someone tape me on the back. It was a tall lanky boy with a baby face and brown short hair and dull blue eyes. I read his mind that he wanted to walk me to all my classes and I just put on a super sweet smile and started to play with my hair like Amy always does when a boy was talking to her. I could hear his heart pumping faster and faster as he tried to form the sentence asking me if he could walk me to my classes but he was taking too long and my patience was growing thin so I decided to give him a little push after all I really didn't know where my classes were.

"Will you guide me towards Stander Level Math?" I asked in a sweet voice the opposite of what I was feeling on the inside I was really grossed out that this is how my sisters got anything they wanted, even if it was really gross it was worth it because he nodded shyly and then took me to that class before the bell rang. He was in all of my classes and in everyone he sat next to me in each one staring dreamingly at me, but I ignored him. This high school was just as boring as middle school all the teachers were as transparent as day to me they did everything by the book in order to get this over with and to get their pay checks at the end of the week. I just copied all of the notes in the teacher's head and then stopped paying attention I was going through every ones minds and seeing if there was something interesting to listen to past the time. But I got nothing all the kids were fixated on me the boys had me doing dirty things to them in their heads and the girls either wanted me to be their friends or wanted me to go jump off a cliff for being more attractive than them. I tried harder and found one girl that didn't even know I existed or was trying not to notice me. She was thinking about the spitballs that she was going to shoot at this teacher if he didn't shut up within two minutes.

This short light brunet bad girl was imaging so many childish pranks that I probably already pulled on Emmett when I was five years old so I giggled a little bit but a little too loud and the teach heard me.

"Miss. Cullen will you come up here and solve this question? Please," he asked in an annoyed tone, but his mind that was full of ideas on scolding me if I got this question wrong and as punishment he was going to keep me after class. All his annoyed thoughts disappeared when he saw me gracefully walking up to the broad his mind changed drastically and he was picturing me in a little more adult clothes which slightly disgusted me as I wrote the right answer and went back to my seat. When he looked at the question to see if it was right and it was but he was a little bit shock that I solved it with a formula too high to be stander level and everyone noticed it too they were thinking I was some kind of genius that picked the wrong class by mistake. I just put on an innocent face and they carried on with the lesson. The girl I was listening to was suddenly thinking of shooting the spitball at me and I wasn't going to get into a fight at least not on the first day. The teacher called her up next to answer a question that was unsolvable. The teacher had made a mistake in the equation, I toyed with the idea of just letting her get the scolding for not getting the question right, but I helped her out anyway she couldn't hate me anymore than she does now.

"Mr. Kent the question is unsolvable the divide sign in the question is supposed to be a multiply sign," I said as I looked down at my notes like I didn't really care and to be honest I didn't. I was completely bored as I hoped the girl will be grateful to me for saving her butt. She was actually overjoyed as the teacher apologized and was too embarrassed to ask any more questions that class. I got up a second before the bell rang and was heading for the door before the girl I saved stopped me.

"Thanks for the save there, I owe you one, by the way I'm Jane," she said in a grateful tone that made me smile at her I mean a real smile the first I've had since the last time I was hanging out with my Dad's pack which seemed like decades ago.

"Andy, and you're welcome, but let's get this straight I'm not a nerd so if you ever plan to shoot spit balls at me again I will make sure you drowned in the nearest river," I said smiling sweetly as acid crept into my voice. She was shocked that I knew that she was planning to shoot me with spite balls. Then her face changed to an understanding one and she thought that I could see right through her plans which was so true.

"Fine, so if you're not a nerd what are you?"

"You'll see tomorrow when I'm allowed to wear the clothes I want to," I answered her with an smile that seem to dazzle her, in her mind she thought that I was an interesting kind of person and wanted to be my friend, yeah like that will ever happen. But I'll keep her around it couldn't hurt to be able to talk to someone normal.

"What kind of things do you do when you aren't studying?"

"I don't study, I'm usually handing out with a gang in LA Plush," I watched her face light up as she heard that I was in a gang. And I was in a gang in theory. She talked to me for the rest of the day and helped me get away from that boy that I met this morning he wasn't a bad person he just had very loud fantasy about me in his messy room that I really don't want to know what we are doing in there. The day past unusually quickly to me after I found someone's thoughts interesting to listen to. Lunchtime was a pain though seating with the rest my annoying family. I loved my sisters I really did but when you have a boyfriend is your mind full of him twenty-four-seven? Because I was listening to Jane's thoughts it opened my head for other thoughts from people.

"So Andy make any new friends…any guy friends?" Amy asked pocking me in the shoulder as I ate my lunch not really listening to them, but I did hear this question because Amy was picturing me with the boy that walked me to math this morning.

"Nope," I said walking away as the bell rang; Amanda and Amy followed me right up to my history class.

"Can we talk about your boy problems?" Amanda asked as I was going into class but I just ignored her I didn't need to hear their sympathy even if I did in their heads. I manage to get through to last period I thought as I walked to gym class with Jane and unfortunately the boy who walked me to math, his name was Bryan Walter and I swear he was stalking us out of all the campuses in the school he always managed to show up right in front of me whether we had class together or not. In gym class Jane was practically screaming she was sorry for thinking that I was a nerd in her head. We were playing basketball; even though it wasn't a contact sport I still loved the rash of dunking the ball in the hoop. I was so good that I didn't really need a team, but I passed the ball just to humor the slow humans. The score was a hundred to zero; I was the number one player on my team for that gym class for getting ninety-nine of those baskets and one assist. As I was about to go to the change room the gym teacher said he wanted me on the girls basketball team and I agreed, the number one reason in his head that he wanted me to be on team wasn't because I was the only one in the class that could dribble or dunk on a professional level, no he was thinking how sexy I would look in the white and green uniform…lovely isn't. I was officially done the first day of school, now exactly two hundred and sixty nine more days of this torture. When I got into the car I was surprise Nahuel and Hayden weren't in the car yet my sisters were.

"Andy are you angry with us? It seems like ever since we got boyfriends you don't want anything to do with us," Amanda said with a depressed voice out of both my sisters she cared about me the most…but Amy loved me too she cared more on how I look than anything else.

"It not that I'm not happy for you two it just your thoughts," I didn't need to say anymore they knew exactly what I meant and they were realizing that some of their thoughts were a little inappropriate.

"Why didn't you tell us before? Now to celebrate no guys for today, just us girls and shopping!" Amy almost squealed. Me and Amanda just looked at her and then back at each other and shrugged as long as we were starting to get back on the same wave link I was game for anything I thought forgetting that I left my mind open for everyone to hear. Amanda took advantage of this and asked if we could go to a national history museum in La Plush. Amy and I both said no in our minds in prefect unity the old days were back. We had silent conversation in our heads sharing about what happened to each other during school. My sisters laughed their heads off as I told them about what people really thought of us and especially what they thought of me. We haven't had a mind conversation since Hayden became Amy's boyfriend during July. We went to La Plush to shop Amy needed new inspiration Seattle was getting boring to her. I didn't mind going to La Plush as long as no one in the pack sees me shopping I was happy. I wished I didn't just think that for two reasons because Amy and Amanda saw a picture of Crag in my head at that moment and the second reason was because he was staring at me as he saw me walk into the clothes shop with my sisters. The only thing that saved me from running out of the store at that very moment was the fact that he was carrying eighteen pink shirts, underwear and bras. So if he was going to make fun of me I was going to show him like this through a metal picture to the whole pack. He could see that I was planning something in my head so he came over with a pleading face and asked me not to tell or show the pack any of this. He apparently lost a bet with his older nineteen year old sister Ella that was visiting from college. I truly love when that women comes to visit she was as devious as Alice trying to get Bella to go shopping with her, a truly menacing sister born to cause chaos in her little brother's life.

"Hey your little girlfriend is here Crag," I heard Ella said coming out of a changing room with a short pink summer dress on.

"I'm not his girlfriend," I said bluntly as I hugged her, but she just looked over to her brother's red face and started to giggle I don't even want to know what that evil person was thinking so I closed my mind before her thoughts came flooding into my head.

"Hey Ella, if you are making Crag carry your stuff do you mind if he also carries our stuff," Amy said with a mischievous smile that got the both of them thinking the same thing, poor Crag was in for a world of embarrassment. Amy was planning to go all around La Plush to shop and we were bound to bump into someone from the pack. I was really going to have fun on this shopping trip for sure.

We went everywhere in our car from boutiques to the girlish shops on the planet; Ella and Amy were enjoying making Crag carry everything like a butler. Many times he asked me mentally to help him and I replied by giving him the most girly thing I could find in the story. He was furious at me especially when I suggested to Ella to do some walking instead of using the car and she smiled wildly at me while I returned the smile and all Crag was doing was begging me not to do whatever me and his sister was planning. But I blocked him out I was having too much fun to quit now.

"I really am going to get you back for this Andy!" Crag yelled at me as he noticed that I was prosperously leading everyone to a restaurant that we were sure to see pack members. I just looked him up and down for a moment and flashed one the most evil smiles Crag has ever seen, when I start to get like this the pack call it my vampire transformation. When we got to the restaurant to my delight everyone was there eating dinner. This was the only place that everyone could get free food, because Paul owned it. Everyone was staring at us asking me if it was okay to start laughing at Crag and I nodded and with that everyone started to laugh at him covered in every girly thing imaginable, after this he was going to have to eat slugs just to get his manly hood back.

"You are bad Andy" I heard Ella say in her head and I smiled at her as we sat down with everyone we ordered. As I did I could hear my sister thinking about weird things like Amy was thinking about how hot Taylor Lautner is and Amanda was thinking about her favorite book when she was one the Gingerbread Man. Then as the food was being severed they both went to the washroom. After a while of waiting for them to come back I went to go check up on them.

"Amanda, Amy are you guys in here?" I asked as I saw an empty bathroom. As I looked around I looked out the window to see both my sisters kissing their boyfriends. I went into their minds and saw their whole plan. They never really wanted to spend the whole evening without their boyfriends. So they got them to follow us and they were going to have a little bit of alone time when I wasn't looking. I felt a rush of sadness go through me and a stabbing pain in my heart. I was going to get out of here before I started to cry. I gave Ella all her stuff that she bought and left her with the duty of telling my sisters I figured out there plan and to meet me at home when they get there that is. I took the car and drove off I was booking it a hundred sixty kilometers per hour until I got to the Cullen main house I just wanted to be around people I didn't see every day. Alice and Jasper were talking about something that intrigued me so I picked through the door to their room. They were talking about a school named Magics that had witches and vampires going to it, it was in Italy I got the picture of the school from the Jasper's mind and I was just about to go downstairs and check the school out when they caught me. Alice was amused but Jasper was furious as they both held onto my hoodie hood.

"Where do you think you're going Andy?" Alice said trying to sound strict like a mother. I took out a random CD from my pocket and held it up and thank goodness it was one of Edward's CDs that he lend to me.

"I was getting this CD from Edward's room he said I could," I said lying my best and trying to keep a straight face, leveled voice and steady heartbeat. They bought it and for once I was so glad that Alice couldn't see my future or I would so be busted for thinking about going to check out that weird school. I really just needed some alone time to think to myself and I knew I couldn't do it anywhere in Forks where family was everywhere I looked. As I ran towards Italy using the map I memorize from last year geography lessons helped me a lot as I ran through the night rushing through lakes and mashes to hide my scent from vampires or werewolves trying to find me. By now they should've realized that I was missing and if not the better for me I guess.
