Monday. Second day at school, and also the the day of sports tryouts. I can't say I was worried, because with vampire "grace" as its called, cheerleading isn't a problem. So Jennifer and I are totally excited for it. We got into Jennifer's car, and sped off to school. That's when I realised something.

"Oh my god! I Just realised-The Cullen boys are coming today!" I squealed, happy for another reason to be excited about school.

"Duh," was all Jennifer said, but I saw her face light up too.

"So which one do you like the best?" I asked, becoming interested in them.

"Well, Audrey, we don't know them yet!" Jennifer laughed, acting as though she were talking to a two-year old. Puh-lease. I rolled my eyes.

"Well, of course Alice told us about them," I explained. "Which one do you like the best...so far?" Maybe now she'll answer. I already knew who I thought I liked the best.

"Okay. Edward," she said matter-of-factly.

Huh. Jennifer and Edward seem like complete opposites. She's more of the wild dare devil, while Edward sounds like a down-to-earth gentleman. Well, opposites attract, right? For some.

"Why?"

"I don't know. He seems charming, sweet, easygoing, all that stuff. What about you?"

"Wow. I wasn't meaning for you to declare yourslef." I laughed.

"I'm just saying! You said to tell you which one I liked the best."

"True."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Oh. Emmett." I smiled. I had asked Alice a bit more about him. He totally seems like my type-athletic, strong, funny, sweet. But I don't know if he'd like me. No worries, we'll see at school. I smirked.

"What are you smirking for?" Jennifer accused, laughing.

"My plan," I said debviously.

"Oh god. Never good. Just be safe," and with that she winked and hopped out the door. I laughed and got out too.

"Scuse me! Your plans aren't very innocent either!"

"Correct. But mine are actually thought out." I stuck my tongue out at her and she rolled her eyes. Jennifer and I got into the little bickers often, but they're all out of good fun. It's not like we're mean about it or anything.

The morning passed by kind of slow. I was bouncing with excitement before each class, but Emmett didn't come to Science, which I was kind of dissappointed by. In History Jasper didn't show up either, but Alice did.

"Where's Jasper?" I asked.

"Oh. They kind of made their hunting trip a bit longer, so they're gonna be gone today also. The only thing they're coming back for is sports," Alice chuckled.

"Sounds like guys," I giggled. "Will I see them?"

"Oh yeah of course. You have cheerleading right? Emmett does football, and Jasper does wrestling. Edward's a musician, so you'll have to wait till later for him. He teaches and takes classes and stuff. You'll probably see Emmett during tryouts though. We can all get together though after sports and activies, because they all end at the same time!" Alice spoke all of her sentences in one breath. It was like she was incabable of inhaling when she was in the middle of talking.

"Great! Jennifer does cheerleading too, but she won't be there cuz shes taking voice lessons somewhere. But I'm so excited to meet them!" Mostly Emmett....no! Bad Audrey! He might not even like you, so wait until you get your flirt on until you decide that. Plus, you don't know him yet.

"So you think you'll like Emmett?" Alice said, smirking at my starry expression.

"Maybe," I said and smiled. Her eyes glased over for a few seconds, but then she focused them on me, a stubborn look fixed on her features.

"Damn Jennifer's lock around you! I can't see your future! Don't you want to know if you get with Emmett?" Alice had an angered expression on her face, but it looked completely innocent.

"Nope, I'm all about surprises," I said, flashing a grin. She stuck her tongue out at me playfully.

"I can just feel that you and Emmett would be a good match though," Alice said, then directed her attention to the teacher. Cool! I still wonder if he'll like me or not. Jennifer's probably thinking the same thing about Edward....

Gym passed by quickly. We played volleyball, which isn't really my thing, but of course I handled it well. I've played it so many times on the beach with Jennifer that I could practically be a pro.

Then came Spanish. I'm so happy I have a class with just Jennifer so we can talk about stuff. In this case, the main thing on my mind is meeting the rest of the Cullens.

"God! I can't wait for this freakin' day to move quicker!" I said angrily, seating myself next to Jennifer in the back of the class.

"I know! I want to meet Carlisle and Esme too." She always got along well with adults. Jennifer always seemed to like hanging around adults, and she always had full-blown convos with them, even when she was young.

"So do I, and Alice said we'd hang after our activites, because they all do sports and activies also."

"What does Edward do?" I started laughing, she really was thinking about him. "Audrey. Helloooo?"

"Sorry. Just that I totally knew you'd ask about him. He's a musician."

"Oh like me! I've never dated another musician..."

"Aren't you sure of youself..."

"Just being confident, dear, it gives you an ego boost."

"Like we need one..."

"That a girl!" she sang, then switched the subject.

"Emmett plays football."

"Ooo, sounds tough!" She mocked me, pretending to swoon like I always do when I like a guy.

"Shut up! It is too."

"Okay, it is, I'm just messin. So, don't forget, I'm picking you up from cheerleading practice right after. I have my voice lessons after school."

"No problemo, just call me or whatever, then we'll hang with the Cullens." The bell rang, signaling lunch. I grabbed a yogurt, a salad, and a role of bread, and Jennifer got a bowl of salad (prop) and a diet coke. We headed over to where Alice, Bella, and Rosalie were sitting. Rosalie and Bella were in a conversation that seemed so deep and private that we shouldn't interupt, so we walked over to Alice.

"Hey! Don't mind them, they'll notice your here soon," Alice said, jerking her thumb to Rosalie and Bella, who were giggling at a private joke. We made plans for after our after-school activites to all go over to the Cullen's house to hang out and meet everyone.

Math was Alice was next, and we discussed what outfit's we'd wear later that night.

I then had art, and once again we went on the patio to do our drawings. I took black chalk and began sketching aimlessly. I then realised I was drawing a man in a football uniform at the end of the field, his hands in the air with the football in them after completing a touchdown pass to win the game. I don't usually draw people. I mainly draw landscapes, because over the years the change of the world intrigued me.

The picture on the paper was in different shades of black. The goal post in the backround, the end zone written on the grass. The man was tall with large muscles, but you couldn't see his face or hair, for it was hidden beneath the helmet.

I don't know why I drew it. I just thought of it while I was looking at the football field, picturing on of the games.

I looked around me, realising that everyone else was gone. Crap! I grabbed my drawing and ran out of the room quickly, but not in vampire speed. I got changed in a tank top, shorts, and sneakers. After checking to make sure that no one was in the room, I used my appearance power to put my hair in an updo. I hurried out just in time to see the rest of the girls making their way to the field. I jogged out with them and we walked to the field.

I was a flyer when it came to cheerleading. I thought doing tricks was fun, plus with my extra grace I handled it smoothly and perfectly.

Jennifer was a cheerleader, a base to be exact, but she convinced the coach to let her tryout the next day during lunch. Vampires can be very convincing.

We jogged around the track a few times, then did a few tricks that the coach called out on the field. We did a routine that she demonstrated, and I was getting really into it. I was doing everything well, and all I could think about was completing the tricks and impressing the coach. I didn't even notice when the football team jogged to the other half of the field. The coach dismissed us for a water break, but I didn't bother getting any.

I looked out and notices the group of guys jogging and doing pushups. One stood out especially to me. He was tall and huge. Not in the overweight way, but the muscular way. I looked him up and down, appraising his perfect muscles that showed out of the sleeves of his jersey.

I smiled, and suddenly got a whiff of another vampire scent. It was musky, and an amazing scent. I couldn't quite get where it came from, but I knew it was from one of those guys. My eyes flitted to the big one.

Duh. Emmett! He's one of the guys....but which one? I looked out at them all, but I couldn't see their faces very well. I separated the ones who I thought looked good and didn't. Excuse me for judging, but I'm just hoping for the best, and you'd do the same if it were you!

All the girls were in groups talking, and I went over to sit on a bench, grabbing a water as I went. We were halfway through the tryouts, so our break was pretty long because the coach was adding scores for the first half. I was pretty confident I was on that list. I've made every one of my cheerleading squads before, so you can't blame me for being confident.

I focused on the musky vampire smell, it's heavenly scent pushing me to try and find out who it was. The guys were all huddled together, so I couldn't tell. All of a sudden, they broke up and the coach dismissed them for a water break. I looked over to my coach, only to see that she was huddled with two other coaches, still in the prosess of calculating results. God, I could do all of that for her in about three seconds.

"Hi," a deep, sexy voice said from behind me. I turned, only to stare into the most beautiful face I'd ever seen. It was the guy with the body I already praised so much. His shirt clung to his biceps perfectly, and from the look of that I could tell he had great abs too. He was about 6'5, and was smiling down at me with pearly white teeth. His golden eyes were dancing with amusement, his curly dark brown hair gleaming in the sunlight. To top it all off, he had dimples on his cheeks when he smiled, which brought the most adorable childish playfullness to his face. I sniffed again, and targeted the wonderful smell coming from him. Of course.

After a couple seconds I realised I should say something instead of just staring up at him in amazement. I smirked. I wasn't going to let him overtake me and stand here like a stuttering idiot. I do not stutter, I charm.

"Hello," I said back, the corners of my mouth still turned up in my smirk. "Emmett, is it?"

"The one and only," he said, sticking out his muscular hand for me to shake. Although he was huge, he still looked playful and happy and like a big teddy bear. I took it, and he shook it, looking directly into my eyes, a small smile playing on his lips. I got this weird sesation that it just belonged there, in his hand.

"I guess you'd like to know my name...?" I questioned, smiling. He smiled back.

"It would help in an introduction."

"Well, then I'm Audrey."

"Great pleasure to meet you, Audrey."

"Likewise." I smiled up at him, and couldn't help getting lost in his golden eyes. I've seen countless pairs of golden eyes from my sister and the Cullens, but his somehow captivated me in a totally different way.

"So. I've heard that we're hangin out after this," he said to me.

"If by that you mean Alice invited my sister Jennifer and I over to your home later, then yes. That's when we were going to meet the infamous Cullen men."

"Infamous, huh? I hope it's for good reason. Who's been talking?"

"Alice again. And she says wonderful things about you all," I laughed.

"Good. I wouldn't want you hearing bad things about me."

"Oh really? So you want to impress me?"

"Could be. Or I'm just worried about my rep." I laughed, glad he was going along with my playful flirting. It felt so easy and comfortable to be with him and talk to him.

"Shame. I got my hopes up for a second there." I smirked at him and he smiled down back at me. God, he had the most amazing smile...

"Well keep them up. Luck's known to come to pretty girls like you," he said, smiling slightly. Omigod. He said I was pretty! I broke into a huge grin.

"You think I'm pretty?"

"Beautiful, actually," he said, his tone more serious now. We stood there looking at each other for I don't know how long. I couldn't believe he'd now just called be beautiful!

"I can't say your any worse," I retorted later. No lie there. He's like walking perfection.

All of a sudden the coach blew the whistle for us to come back to begin the last half of our tryouts. I pulled back, not realising how close I'd been to Emmett.

He smiled at me, but I could see dissappointment in his eyes.

"Don't worry. I won't be too far," I said, walking backwards to the squad, smiling at him. I got lost in his eyes one again for a moment, and stopped walking. Mixed emotions swam in his eyes, some I'd like to believe he felt, but didn't know if I was just imagining it or not. I recovered myself, smiling at him once again. "See you soon." I waved at him. He lifted his hand, smiling slightly, and waved back at me. I spun around and jogged to the group, looking back over my shoulder once to see him still gazing after me.

I joined the squad and the coach had us do a few more routines. I put almost all of my focus on the routines, but a little bit on Emmett. I'd quickly glance over at him when I was about to do a trick from on top of our pyramids or towers. Or I'd feel his eyes glued to me as I did a back handspring back tuck. Every once in a while we'd look over only to find the other one staring back.

The coach said we should stretch after about another hour. I did a few stretches then did a backbend. I looked over to the football team who was doing passing and catching drills. Emmett then looked over, and smiled widely at me, his adorable dimples coming onto his cheeks again. I smiled widely back at him, and lifted a hand to wave. It must have looked funny because of the position I was then in, supporting my self with the one arm, because Emmett began laughing a bit. I stuck my tongue out at him childishly, and he waved back to me, smiling and still laughing a bit at my playfullness.


I kicked up and did a walk over happily and bounced back over to the team. I was happy I met Emmett, happy that I kind of liked him, and happy that he just might like me. I didn't know for sure, but today still turned out great. I was excited to meet the rest of the family, but I was more excited that I'd met Emmett.
