I woke up to Adam's alarm clock going off at 5:15 in the morning. Way too early for any sane people to be up. It was our first day of La Push High School. I couldn't help but think of Paul but I knew he wouldn't be at school. The guy looked twenty at least. Adam drug himself out of his mattress which was lazily tossed onto the ground. I left Drake and Peter passed out on the ground. I would wake them up once I showered so I wouldn't have to fight over it.

Adam let me take the shower first for which I was grateful for. Jay and Conner where still sleeping as they had already graduated high school. John and Jeremy still had about another two hours to sleep since they were still in middle school.

After an hour and a half of pure chaos of getting nine teenagers ready we were on our way to pace the horror of high school. We managed to stuff all of us into my SUV and since I was the smallest I got saddled in the back row with Aaron driving and TJ in the passenger seat. In the second row sat Drake, Peter, and Trevor. All of which weren't excited with their close proximity to each other. In the last row was Adam and Tyler. The former with his arm tossed around my headrest.

We were extremely early due to needing to get our schedule so almost no one was in the parking lot. The boys piled out. I crawled over the middle seat to get out the door but Adam and Tyler opted to have Aaron pop the trunk and they jumped out that way.

After a few minutes of searching we finally found the front office with a little old women with huge round glasses sat. She looked up at the ruckus we were causing and beamed at us.

"You must be the foster children of Ms. Rose! My husband works at the hospital with her. Says she's a real firecracker. Mentioned she had a lot of adopted children too!"

I rolled my eyes at the mention of us being foster children but kept my mouth shut. Aaron cleared his throat before asking for our schedules. She gave the seniors their schedules first which consisted of only Aaron. Then the juniors which was the bulk of the group consisting of Drake, Peter, TJ, Adam, and myself. The sophomores being Trevor and Tyler and finally the only freshman Steven.

Papers went flying into each other's faces trying to see who had which classes together. I was ecstatic to see I only had one class by myself which was study hall, the last class of the day. TJ and I split up from the group and walked the opposite to our first period.

"Nervous Peyton?" He smirked down at me

"Is it that obvious?" I panicked.

"No, but call it big brother's intuition. You'll be great today and maybe even make friends."

What he didn't know was that I already had friends since I had meet Paul, Quil, and their group but I hadn't mentioned that encounter to anyone in fear of them finding out where they lived and trying to skin them alive. I had texted Paul every day since that night which had only been about a week ago and talked to Quil and his friends Jacob and Embry on the phone a few times. I had walked into the middle of the woods for the phone calls in fear my brothers would hear me talking to a bunch of guys.

TJ opened the door to calculus for me and walked in soon behind me. We were the first people in there which gave the teacher time to introduce himself and give us textbooks for the class. We settled ourselves down in the back row and people began pouring in. All giving us looks of curiosity.

The class soon began but the staring and glances didn't seize to stop. About fifteen minutes into class the door burst open and Quil slid in with a goofy smile on his face.

My jaw dropped. I had thought Quil was at least 19, maybe even 20. But no way in hell did I think he was 17. He looked so out of place in a classroom full of hormone fueled teenagers.

"Sorry Mr. G! But duty called and you know what they say about ignoring her." The teacher gave Quil a quick glare before telling him to sit down. Quil slid into a seat in the second row right by the aisle. He didn't even notice myself or TJ who was still silently laughing at Quil's entrance.

Class came and went with me still trying to figure out how Quil could only be a teenager. Quil was the first person out the class leaving just as the bell started to ring. TJ and I took our time and parted ways outside the door and I made my way to English.

I walked in to only a few people seated and took a seat once again in the back by the window. I felt a presence next to me and glances over at a smiling Adam.

"How was your first class?" He asked while relaxing back into his chair.

"It was calculus, can't be that good." I retorted to him. I glanced to the doorway and once again my jaw dropped. Two of the guys in Paul's group glided through the door. The first one was laughing at something the one behind said. I recognized his voice from the phone call and realized it was Embry and Jacob. They took two chairs in the middle of the room. Neither bothered to look towards the back of the room. I was thankful for this as I don't know how I could explain to Adam how I knew two guys who looked like they popped steroids for a living.

After an entire class of praying that neither of them turned around my prayers were answered as both raced out the door and down the hall. Adam and I walked halfway to my class before he had to leave me to go find his class.

I turned down a random hall hoping I was walking the right way to class. I looked over to a door near me and checked the number next to it before looking down at my paper to see if it matched. I kept watching as I walked which proved to be a bad idea as I crashed straight into a warm and defined chest. Hands shoot out and steadied me. I looked up to see the one and only Quil who stared down at me in shock which soon turned into a huge grin and a twinkle in his eyes.

"Peyton?! You go here since when?! Dude, Paul's gonna shit his pants when he sees you.." He rambled on still with a huge smile plastered on his face.

I cut him off "Todays my first day, along with my brothers."

"That's awesome! Now we can actually hang out."

I smiled up at him and nodded my agreement.

"What's your next class?" He asked eagerly

"Umm… To be completely honest I don't know. I'm completely lost. I have anatomy with Ms. Jackson right now."

His smile fell a little but soon returned full force within seconds. "Aw, Damn. I hoped we have the same class but here, I'll walk you over there. Alright?"

I voiced my agreement and soon we were off in the same direction I had just come from.

I remembered something he said earlier "Wait. So Paul go's here too?" I asked getting excited.

He chuckled "Yeah! He's a senior actually. He'll be so happy to see you. Why don't you sit with us at lunch?"

I shrugged "I'm not sure. I'll probably sit with my brothers today. Maybe some other time?" I said hopefully.

"Definitely!" By that time we were outside my classroom.

"Say, is one of your brothers kinda tall, lanky, with black longish hair?" He asked while motioning to his head.

I giggled at the description "Yeah. You're describing either Trevor or Tyler. They both kinda look alike."

"I had a new kid in my gym class. Kinda figured it was your brother." He looked like he had a questioning look on his face "How many brothers do you have?"

I blanked out. I didn't want to say since that would make him go running for the hills. The gods were in my favors as the warning bell went off which sent Quil running down the hall with a quick goodbye tossed over his shoulder.

I rolled my eyes and entered the room and scanned it before settling my eyes on Drake who was already passed out on his desk and had a light snore emitting from him. I sat down while sneakily bashing my textbook over his head which made him shoot up in his desk while saying "I didn't do it, I swear!" He looked around and looked over at me guiltily.

My next two classes went by rather quickly. I didn't have another encounter with the steroid giants either. But I had a feeling my luck was running out. I turned the corner to see Aaron talking to a rather large man whom I recognized as Jared since Paul talked about him a few times over texting. Jared had his back to me and I attempted to sneak by them.

I could vaguely hear them talking about a project they were paired up together for.

I was almost in the clear when my luck turned on me. Aaron made a quick glance over Jared and saw me trying to sneak by.

"Hey Peyton! Over here!" He yelled while motioning me over with a swing of his hand. Jared turned around confused as I made my way over. He took one look at me and his eyes seemed to widen to double their size.

"Jared, this is my little sister Peyton." He started as his arm swung over my shoulder.

I looked down "We've meet before." Aaron looked at me confused. "I ran into him and some of his friend's one of the times I walked over to the beach."

Aaron's eyebrow lifted and I rolled my eyes. He was going into overprotective jackass mode at the mere thought of a guy coming within five feet of his little sister.

Jared butted in before Aaron could say anything "Aaron I didn't know Peyton was your sister." His eyes were wide as if he couldn't believe we were related.

"As fun as this is, I really must be going." I said before racing the hall in the opposite way trying to get out of this awkward moment as soon as possible.

Today is going to be a long day.
