Today was Tuesday. My first day of school, since I didn't go yesterday. My first day at a new school. Today was the day I had dreaded ever since last night. I still couldn't believe I told him that I was in love with him. The only guy I ever said 'I love you' to was my dad then he said he didn't want me in his life after 14 years of not seeing me. I sat up in my bed and rubbed my eyes. I looked out the window and it was raining. "UGH!!" I said as I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I got in the shower and let the hot water run down my back. I did my business then got out. I wrapped a towel around me then walked across the hall to my room. I walked to my closed to pick out a pair of jeans and a top then I walked to my dresser to get a bra, undies and a top. I usually wore high heels on my first days of school to look nice so I didn't bother with socks. I put on my bra and undies then did my hair. I blow dried it then curled it and clipped it back only leaving my bangs by my face. I put on my make up, earring, necklace then put on myclothes. I looked in the mirror then grabbed my car keys, bag, cell phone, iPod and school schedule that was on my desk. As I headed down the stairs I was really dreading going to school. Not only was it my first day, but I knew I would have at least one class with Jacob. Mariah was walking down the stairs as I turned into the kitchen. I just grabbed a cereal bar and headed for the door. When I opened the front door I saw Jake's car sitting in the driveway. I was going to turn around and walk back in but Kim jumped out and ran up to me. She wrapped me up in a hug and smiled at me. "Uh. Hi Kim. What are you guys doing here?" I asked confused.

"We wanted to know if you wanted a ride to school?" she answered releasing me from the hug and waving at Mariah.

"No. I'm good, but if you wanna ride with you then you can." I said directing my attention to Mariah. Mariah shook her head no.

"OK, well can Leah and I ride with you? The guys are getting on our nerves." she said still smiling.

"Sure. That would be cool. We better get a move on, or were gonna be late." I said walking down the steps. As I got to my door at couldn't help but look at the drivers seat. Jake was looking at you and then waved. I just got into the car without looking back at him. Leah and Kim got into the back and the guys pulled out of our way so we could get out since they were blocking us. After I was on the main road I sped off toward the school. We were there in less than 5 minutes due to my fast driving. As I found a parking spot I turned my car off and got out. Several students were looking at us as we walked toward the school. "God! DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE A STARING PROBLEM!?" I yelled at everyone as I walked past them. They stopped looking and thank god for that.

"Just ignore them Stef. Don't get in trouble on your first day. See you later." Mariah said leaving Leah, Kim and Me in the hallway.

"What classes do you have?" Leah asked. I pulled out my schedule and handed it to her. She looked it over with Kim looking over her shoulder. "Looks like we have math, history, chemistry and English Lit together." she said.

"You have PE with me and study hall aaannd oh homeroom too." Kim said.

"Who's all in my classes?" I asked taking my schedule.

"Uh Jared, is in our math and history class. Paul is in math, chemistry, and English. Quil, Embry, Seth, Jacob is in all your classes along." Leah answered. When she said Jacob was in all of my classes I felt cold and pale. "You OK Stef? You look kinda pale." she asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Just cramps." I said. I pulled out the card that had my locker combination and locker number on it. I started looking for it and when I did guess who's locker was next to mine. Yep, Jacob's. I felt worse. I had all my classes with the guy I was crushing on and my locker was next to his. The worst part is that he knew I liked him cause of me and my big mouth. As I walked up to my locker the rest of the guys joined him by the lockers. I felt so short compared to them.

"Hey Stefy!!" Embry said picking me up and giving me a hug.

"Ah...Em...ah..need...air...to...live!" I said trying to catch my breath.

"Oh. Sorry. You look nice today. How are you going to play in PE?" He asked as he sat me back on my feet. I opened my bag to shoe him my gym clothes and shoes. "Oh. Ha ha. Should have known." he said rubbing the back of his head. I turned back around to my locker to put my folders and books into it.

"So Stef. What classes do we have with you?" Jared asked walking over to Kim and kissing her.

"Well from what I hear, you're in my math and history class, Paul is in math, chemistry, English with me and Quil, Embry, Seth, Jacob are in all my classes." I said Jacob's name quietly.

"Oh sweet. We get to see you play volleyball!" Quil said high-fiving Seth. I laughed silently at him.

"Yep." was all I said. "We better get going. I don't wanna be late on my first day." I said closing my locker. My first period was History which I had with Leah, Quil, Embry, Seth, Jacob and Jared. We rushed to class cause the bell had just rung. I walked up to the teacher as everyone else took their seats. I handed her my schedule and she gave me a seat.

"You may take your seat next to Mr. Black." she informed me. My heart sank.

"Uh. Do you mind giving me another seat?" I asked trying my luck. She looked up at me.

"Yes I do mind. Now please take your seat." she said pointing toward the empty seat next to Jacob. I slowly walked over to it and sat next to him. The desk was so small that we had to sit pretty close. I could feel the heat coming off of his body. As Ms. Sanders started class she told us to take notes. We were learning about the Holocausts and the Rein of Hitler. I was so into this stuff, not because of I was for the Nazis but because of the story that behind it. I've read the Diary of Anne Frank at least a million times that I could probably recite it word for word. I was taking notes when a note appeared on my notebook. I look over to Jacob and he was taking notes himself with a half smile on his face. I opened it and read what it said.

'Stefani, I'm sorry about what happened last night at the bon fire. If I would have known that you wrote the song for me earlier I wouldn't have told Bella that song was for her. It was a beautiful song, I'm sorry if I hurt you in anyway last night. OK I don't wanna talk about this; remember last night when my dad was talking about the legends? And you asked if they were true. Well there true...100% true. Sam told me it was OK to tell you.'

I was shocked at what I read. He still likes Bella I guess so the song didn't change his feelings. I didn't know what to say.

'What do you mean Sam told you it was OK to tell me?' I wrote back. I slid the paper over to him and he read it. He thought about what to say then wrote it down. I was writing my notes again when he slid it back to me.

'He is kinda like the leader of our pack. Hes the Alpha and I'm the Beta. Kinda like commander-in-chief. Since hes Alpha I still have to listen to him.' I was really confused.

'What do you mean Alpha and Beta?' I wrote back more confused than ever. He read it, wrote back then slid it to me.

'Tell you the rest during homeroom :)' I didn't bother writing back. I got back to my notes and finished copying them down from the whiteboard. After taking notes the bell rang for us to go to our next periods. I walked with Leah and Jake to chemistry and thought about homeroom next. What was Jake going to tell me? What does he mean by alpha and beta? As I sat in chemistry next to Leah and Quil, I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't hear the teacher talking to me.

"Miss. Kirkwood, would you please answer the question?" Mr. Edwards asked.

"Oh. Uuhh...when you add sodium citrate to the nioxomitrifate it could cause a chemical reaction that would led to a deadly gas explosion." I answered the question while looking at him. In Indiana we were way more advanced then here in La Push. (Not true, just made it up)

"Correct you are. Have you already done this stuff?" he asked. I nodded my head and he smirked. I went back to my thoughts as he went back to the lesson and before I knew it the bell had rung and I was sitting in Homeroom with everyone.

"So what were you talking about in History?" I asked Jake as the bell rang. We were allowed to talk so we wouldn't get in trouble for doing it. He scooted closer to me along with everyone else.

"The legends you heard last night at the bon fire are true. I know you believe that they were true along time ago but they are again today. The guys, Leah and I are werewolves." He told me in a hushed tone so the other students wouldn't be able to here. I looked at him and blinked.

"What guys?" I asked confused.

"Embry, Quil, Jared, Seth, Paul, Sam, Leah and I. We are werewolves." he said again. My mouth dropped to the floor. "That's why our body temperatures are so hot, we never get older, and we heal very fast. If you stabbed me with your pencil it will heal in a few minutes." I'm not gonna lie and say that I didn't just think about doing that to him because I really wanted to. "We exist because vampires exist in this area." he continued to explain. I just stared at all of them. They looked so normal.

"So you guys turn into werewolves during full moons? So you're like Professor Lupin from Harry Potter?" I asked trying to sort it out in my head.

"No. We don't turn during a full moon. We're more like shape shifters that take shape of a giant wolf and we can change whenever we want to. It usually happens when we get upset. When we get angry we can't control ourselves and we just lose it. We can hurt anyone we cared about near us. That's what happened to Emily. She was to close to Sam when he phased and he didn't know what he was doing. It was an accident of course. Everyone thinks she was attacked by a bear." Leah told me.

"So these...vampires...Where exactly are they?" I asked nervously.

"Well there is a family of seven that live in Forks. Bella's boyfriend, Edward, is on of them. Their names are the Cullen's. They claim to only drink animal blood but if their not careful they could lose control and attack anyone. That's why they left last year. Edwards's brother, as they call each other, attacked Bella at her birthday party. She got a paper cut and he lost control. Luckily he didn't bite her cause if he did...she would be one of them." Embry said. I sat their taking it all in. Everyone I knew was a werewolf. Bella is dating a vampire, not even a real vampire because real vampires drink human blood not ANIMAL blood.

I was starting to get a headache from processing all this information. I had to meet this Edward. Vampires had always fascinated me, I have seen every vampire movie that exist and read every book, done tons of research on them. I didn't actually believe that vampires existed today. I wanted to know if they had fangs, died if the sun was to shine on them. Did garlic repulse them? What about super powers? I remember watching this movie about 3 years ago called 'Interview with a Vampire' (Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Benderez, and Kirsten Dunst were vampires in it...if you haven't seen it you should its AWESOME), they had the ability go charm anyone whose blood they wanted, I remember Tom Cruise's character draining the life out of Brad Pitt's character because he wanted to die, but instead of killing him he let him drink his own blood to become on of them. Is that how it happened? If you cut their hair will it just grow back in seconds? I HAD to meet this vampire clan known as the Cullen.

"OK. Can I ask you something?" I asked cautiously.

"Uh. Sure, depends on what it is." Seth answered.

I thought about how to ask my question. Nothing seemed to make sense anymore. "Never mind." I said smiling.

"OK. Well how are you processing everything?" Jacob asked.

"I think it's so cool. I mean who knew I would meet a creature that I could only dream existed. OK I have a question that will make sense." I said looking around the table at everyone.

"Shoot." Leah said.

"Can you guys show me what you look like in wolf form? I mean every time I think of it all I see a picture of Professor Lupin's wolf form, or underworld, you get the picture...all Hollywood stuff." I said laughing at my stupidity.

"Uh...I don't know about that. We'll have to talk to Sam about that.' Jacob said.

"I thought you said that you were Beta. Can't you make decisions for the pack without running to Sam like hes the President?" I asked. Everyone just looked at me in shock.

"She has a point Jake. You were supposed to be Alpha remember...not Sam and were still part of your pack if you and Sam ever break up again so you're technically our Alpha." Leah said. I looked at them talking about it.

"She's right man." Quil said. Everyone nodded.

"So can I?" I said with a big smile on my face. I crossed my fingers under the table hoping for a yes.

"You're not scared?" Jake asked looking at me.

"Why should I be? You're just a pathetic boy who's in love with a girl who's in love with a vampire who seems to be in love with her...nothing scary there." I said crossing my arms in front of my chest. I heard everyone snicker at what I said but Jacob looked hurt.

"OK...fine you can see us in our wolf form, on one condition." he said getting an angry look on his face.

"What condition?" I asked smiling.

"STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY LOVE LIFE. IT DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!!" he shouted making me jump back in my chair. I didn't know what to say. I just sat there in my chair staring at him in shock. I felt my eyes tear up.

"Forget it Jake." I said gathering my things letting the tears fall and running out to the bathroom. I couldn't leave school because Mariah would need a ride from school. I suddenly thought of something and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen then wrote:

'Myra,Left school early. I'm not feeling well so please ask Nat if you could get a ride from Jake. I will see you at home.Luv your sister'

I folded it up and ran to her locker then slid it in through the slot. The tears were still falling as I grabbed my car keys and started toward the parking lot door exit. I heard Leah and Quil yelling my name as I exited the doors and ran to my car. When I got in I shoved the key into the ignition and peeled out of the parking lot. I didn't know where I was going at the time. I just drove until I got to the town of Forks. I drove for a little while longer when I came to a dirt road so I turned onto it. When the road ended I got out and started walking. I was still wearing my high heels cause I forgot to change them before taking off in my fury. As I walked down a narrow path it ended but I kept on going. I stepped over log after log, branch after branch until I got tired. I decided to sit on a fallen tree that was next to me. I put my head into my hands and cried. I sat there thinking about everything that I was told today. I had been there for a while when I started hearing twigs snap and dry leaves crunch under someone or somethings weight. I looked up with wet, sore, probably red eyes and didn't see anything. I sat there for a while just listened to my surroundings.

"Oh crap I forgot I was in Forks. Vampires." I said to myself. I stood up and started looking around. Suddenly I saw a flash of something as it took off running. It looked like a guy, but it couldn't be. This thing was fast. My eyes couldn't keep up with it. I heard a whoosh sound then cold breath on my neck. I turned around and a guys that was about 6 3, short brown hair, golden eyes, very built, pale as snow and had dark circles under his eyes. Vampire definitely. I took a step back. Then he spoke.

"BOO!" he bellowed echoing off the trees.

"AHHH!!" I screamed jumping back. I fell over a tree branch and everything went black.
