Spanish and Trig passed with nothing special. Jessica invited me to sit with them at lunch and I agreed, not having anyone else to sit with. That kid Mike kept staring at me, it was making me really uncomfortable. Once we all sat down to lunch, I asked Jessica about the Hale's. I noticed them sitting with only one other person at lunch. The third guy was huge; he looked like a body builder with curly brown hair and the same golden eyes.
"Well you already met the Hale twins. The third one is Emmett Cullen. The three of them were adopted by Dr. Cullen since his wife can't have kids. Rosalie and Jasper were her sister's kids and after she died, the Cullen's got custody of them. Emmett was adopted when he was four after Mrs. Cullen found his in the woods. But the weird thing is, Emmett and Rosalie are together. Like dating." I shrugged.

At lunch I heard Jessica giving Bella our whole 'story' then of course she had to bring up how Emmett and Rosalie were together, yet part of the same family. Not really surprising. We'd been here for two years and people still couldn't get over it. I heard Rosalie hiss softly. What surprised us though, was Bella's response. I saw her shrug then heard her.
"I don't really see anything wrong with it. I mean, they are adopted so it's not like they're blood related." Bella said with a little attitude. I could feel her annoyance at Jessica and sympathy towards us for being constantly talked about. Emmett chuckled at the apparent annoyance in Bella's voice.
"I like her." Rosalie smiled. Wait. Smiled? I looked at her confused, she was usually so against humans. She caught my expression and explained to me.
"I had a vision of her and me. We were friends. And really happy." She smiled again. "I like her too."
"Me too." I added softly. Emmett looked confused.
"You've met her?" I nodded.
"She's in my history class. And she knew about me. " Their eyes went wide. "No, not about us. She knew about Jasper Whitlock. She fought with Mr. Johnson about me being the youngest major during the war."
"But, how'd she know?" Emmett asked softly.
"She's the great-great granddaughter of my best friend Thomas Dryer. She has all of our letters that we sent during the war."
"Wow." Emmett breathed. Rose smiled before her eyes went blank. Another vision. She returned to normal after about 40 seconds and smiled at me.
"What'd you see?" I asked.
"Oh. Nothing." But she had that smirk. And I felt confidence coming off of her in the form of 'I-know-something-you-don't-know'
"Fine." I said, "Don't tell me. But I'll find out sooner or later." I got up and headed to the art room for my next class as the bell rang.

We watched as Jasper walked off, frustrated. I turned to Rose.
"So what'd you see?" She smiled at me knowingly.
"Jasper and Bella. They were in Jasper's room and he was playing her a song. And I swear I think I was going to choke on the amount of love coming off of them." I returned her smile. Oh this was good. I knew I couldn't tell Jasper, though that could be a challenge. I gave Rose a quick kiss on the cheek and headed off to Biology.
I was a little saddened by the fact that everyone was too scared of how big I was to sit next to me, so I always had to sit alone. It sucked. Just then Bella walked in. I heard her introduce herself to Mr. Banner and he pointed to me, telling her to take the empty seat next to me. She nodded and walked back. She was pretty. Of course I only had eyes for Rosalie, but she and Jasper would go good together. I knew Rose approved of her style. I heard the chair next to me scrape on the floor as she pulled it out. I looked up from my hands and smiled. To my surprise, she didn't shy away, but flashed a warm smile in my direction.
"Emmett Cullen." I said, holding out my hand.
"Bella Swan." She said, shaking my hand. I then noticed her scent. It was good smelling, but nowhere near being too much for me to handle.
"So I hear you met Rosalie and Jasper?" she smiled again and nodded.
"Yeah they're very nice. You and Rosalie make a lovely couple." She said, blushing again. I noticed she'd done that a lot.
"Why thank you ever so much." I said in a high pitched voice, batting my eyelids. She giggled.

I liked Emmett. Sure he was huge, and hulk-like, but I sensed a real sweetness about him. He was funny too. Mr. Banner gave us all a worksheet on mitosis that we had to work on with our partners. I immediately began filling it out. I'd done this same sheet in Phoenix and new it backwards and forwards. Emmett chuckled.
"Someone's a brain." He said. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I've already done this sheet back in Arizona." I said. He smiled.
"Well then. Here's my sheet, try to make it look like my hand-writing." I laughed and wagged my finger in his face.
"ah ah ah. You're doing this yourself mister." He pouted, looking like a 5 year old who just dropped his ice cream cone. I giggled again and a huge smile broke out on his face.
"Fine!" he huffed and began writing down the answers I told him. We were done before everyone else and Mr. Banner told us to just stay put until the end of class. Emmett and I talked about random things. He laughed loudly when I told him the many stories of me tripping. The bell rang and I said goodbye to Emmett, making my way to gym. Luckily I didn't have to change today since I was new so I just sat on the bleachers, watching everyone else play basketball. The bell rang and I made my way out to the parking lot towards my car. I was impressed, a whole day and no tripping. Oh damn, thought too soon, of course as I was walked through the parking lot, I tripped on…nothing and began to fall. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact, but it never came. Instead I felt to cold, hard arms wrap around my waist. I looked up and locked eyes with Jasper. I pulled me upright and set me on my feet.
"Uh, thanks Jasper." A small smile was playing on his lips.
"No problem, I mean anyone could trip on air. Completely understandable." He was chuckling now. I was fully aware that his arms were still around my waist. I rolled my eyes.
"Thanks Jasper. That makes me feel so much better." He smirked.
"No problem. I'll see you tomorrow." He pulled away from me, I noticed Rosalie looking knowingly at us. I blushed and walk to my car. As I pulled into the line of cars waiting to exit the parking lot, I noticed Jasper getting on the motorcycle I'd seen this morning. He put the helmet on his head, slid down the visor, wove through the cars, and sped off down the road. I heard a loud honk behind me and jumped. I looked in my rear view mirror, preparing to flip whoever it was the bird when I saw it was Emmett and Rosalie in the large green jeep. I laughed and rolled my eyes. He smiled back and I stuck my tongue out at him. Rosalie smiled and waved and I waved back. The line moved and I pulled out. With one last wave to Emmett and Rosalie, I turned down towards my house. I heard a honk and saw them heading in the opposite direction after Jasper.
