Two periods later I was standing outside the Cafeteria doors, waiting for my family and thinking. Why had I just Imprinted on Alice now, if I knew her in my early years? Was she the same girl, or was she a reincarnation? Still lost in these thoughts I looked up to see my siblings turn the corner. Rose breezed over and hugged me.

"I hear you found your girl," she whispered. She was the only one besides Jasper that saw through all my bullshit "I'm fine"s when we watched romantic movies. Because… well… I wanted that to be me.

"Yeah… and there's more to it but… I'll tell you when we get home."

"Deal," Jasper grinned. Emmett had his trademark goofy grin and Edward was…

The heavens have opened.

Edward was not looking at me, however he had all eyes for Jasper.

Jasper saw my smirk and looked at Edward, causing them both to blush and look down. As Jasper walked past me I jumped on his back. He allowed the awkward piggy back (I was one or two inches taller than him), hooking his hands under my thighs to hold me up. I laughed, causing Rose to grin at the foreign sound, and pointed to the doors.

"Onward, my loyal steed!" Alice giggled from her seat as we entered and I gave her my crooked grin over Jazz's head, followed by a small wink. Once we sat down, food in hand, we began talking and laughing as they all began to sneak food to my plate. Even Rose laughed at jokes that we made, amused when I reached forward and shoved french fries into Emmett's mouth. He looked horrified, spitting them out and wiping his tongue on a napkin.

"I don't know how you eat this stuff, sis," he said, laughing after a moment. I grinned and popped a fry in my mouth. When we heard conversation at Alice's table turn to us we listened, but still kept up our banter.

"Like, OMG Alice!" Eww… Jessica. Did you know they named a cookie after her? It's called a Whoreo. Anyway.

"What?" Alice said, sounding like she had broken out of a daze. Hmmm…

"Did a Cullen just look at you?"

"Uhm… yeah… Bella is really nice." Silence. "Why do you all look like that?"

"The Cullens, especially Isabella, don't, like, even look at anyone else, and you're saying she talked to you?"

"Yeah… wait okay tell me more than. Who are they that they don't talk to anyone.?"

"The Cullen kids are all the adopted children of Dr. Cullen and his wife. The big one is Emmett, and the blonde girl is his girlfriend, Rosalie," Lauren sneered.

"Dating?" No disgust in her tone. She sounded simply intrigued.

"Yeah, but they're not related. Jasper, the other blonde, and Rosalie are siblings, but that's it." I kinda liked Angela. She was a good kid and didn't lean toward judgmental. "Anyway, Rosalie and Emmett are Seniors, Edward, the bronze haired one, and Jasper are Juniors. Isabella is a Sophmore, like us."

"And, like, we finally know she's totally dating Jasper." At Jessica's statement Jasper and I froze and looked at each other, confused. Dating? Seriously? We looked around the table and saw Edward had crushed his plastic fork.

Dear god he has, indeed, seen the light.

"They… they are?" Alice asked, and she sounded… no, she didn't feel anything for me… did she?

"They were practically making out in the parking lot, duh."

At this I felt myself growl. No, I could never even look at another besides my Imprint… my other half. Edward growled, too, grabbing Jaspers hand and dragging the grinning boy around the corner. I chuckled and looked over at Alice. She met my eye and I rolled my eyes, making her giggle before turning.

"Guys, I don't think Jasper is Bella's boyfriend." Her laugh made me smile as I yawned, leaning against Emmett's side. Rose reached over and mused my hair, making me stick my tongue out at her as she smiled at me. Don't think of this as weird, but my whole family actually loves sitting next to me or letting me use them as pillows. The reason is simple. Because my blood is actually fire, I let off an amazingly high heat. Seeing as they were naturally cold, I offered a welcome relief and vice versa.

"I think she likes you, Bell," Rose whispered.

"You think so?"

"Did you hear the relief in her voice when they realized you were actually single?"

I shrugged, trying to act nonchalant. In reality, I was so happy and my beast wanted to go over there and grab her, to prove she was mine. Emmett noticed me shaking and bent down, whispering.

"Sis you should go for a fly. You need it."

I nodded and once they said they would talk to Edward and Jasper so they could help cover me, I jogged out and headed into the trees. Once out of sight I shot forward at full speed. Now you know Vampires are fast, and Shifters are faster. Being not only a hybrid, but older than any other Vamp or Wolf, I was the fastest. I loved running, and only one thing beat it. Now that I was fully out of sight I let my dragon wings slip through the slits in my shirt and launched into the air. The wind caught my scaly wings but I knew how to fight it, sending me high above the clouds and into an effortless glide. The sun now visible above the permanently dark clouds made my blue and white scales glisson, my skin giving off a faint glow. I grinned, running my hands over the clouds, catching the water droplets and watching as they evaporated at the touch of my skin.

God, flying was amazing.
