A/N: Ooh. Almost 30 reviews for that last chapter. Yay. (: Also, a BIG thanks to someone. They reviewed anonymously, but it was a LONG review. You were one of the only people that actually paid attention to my author's note on the last chapter. Thank you. (:

"You know that if you aren't ready, Charlie will let you stay home a bit longer?" Jake reminded me for the umpteenth time.
"I know, Jake. I'll be fine. You'll be there, and so will Embry. I'm just psyching myself out," I explained. I hadn't sat still for more then 30 seconds since 8:00 this morning, and it was now 3 PM. Tomorrow was my first day of school since everything happened. I was going to be attending the Quileute high school.
"I think you should call Embry. I know I promised I wouldn't tell him, but I think he should know that you're going to be going to our school," Jake said.
I hadn't really wanted to tell Embry, mainly for the fact that I didn't want kids at my old school to know just yet. Everyone in Forks was unaware of the fact that I was changing schools. I knew my "friends" would try to convince me to stay, and it would lead to questions that I didn't want to/couldn't answer.
I say "friends," because none of them have so much as called me in two weeks. It is partly my fault since I had ignored all of their phone calls and didn't ever call them back.
I knew that Embry wouldn't tell anyone if I told him not to, but the pack would know. He would have to tell them. The other members of the pack, especially Sam, might tell. I had wanted it to stay between the family.
"I'll call him. Hand me the phone."
Jake was sitting on a chair in the kitchen, while I cleaned the already spotless kitchen.
He tossed me the phone, not thinking, and it landed with a thud on the kitchen floor. Jake shook his head at me and rolled his eyes. I bent over to pick it up, and asked him for Embry's number.
He answered on the second ring. "Hello?" He asked groggily.
"I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" I asked.
"Bella? Oh no, it's fine. I needed to get up soon anyway. What's up?" He asked, sounding more awake already. I wish I was in that good of a mood when I woke up. Though the nightmares might have something to do with it.
"Alright. Well, I'm starting school again tomorrow-" I started.
"Good! I'm glad you're feeling better."
"Oh, I wasn't finished. There was a change in plans. I'm transferring to the Quileute high school."
"Really? That's great! I mean, I haven't seen you in like two weeks. I'm glad I'll get to see you more often. May I ask why you're changing schools?"
"I don't think I can go back. There are too many memories that I just don't want to remember. Plus, I probably wouldn't do too well around all the guys there. At least if I'm in La Push, I'll have Jake. And you, of course."
"Right. Plus, everyone else in the pack. They'll keep their distance though. We probably won't have any classes together, since I'm a year younger then you though. I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked.
"Of course. Bye."
I hung up the phone, and walked to the living room. Jake followed on my heels.
I laid down on the couch, while Jacob went to go find a movie to put on. He found some action movie that I wasn't planning on paying attention to. When he sat back down, he moved my feet and then put them on his lap.

Bella looked so peaceful in her sleep. Conscious, she tried so hard to please everyone. When Bella was asleep, she let herself go. She didn't try so hard to keep herself together. It hurt me to see her try so hard. At least she was slowly becoming better.
I hoped that going back to school would help her, instead of hurt her. Charlie and Billy were really glad she was transferring schools. I was happy, too.
There was only one thing I was worried about. Embry.
Bella didn't talk about him very often, and doesn't seem very fond of the idea of imprinting. She had had a breakdown a couple days ago.
(Flashback)
"Jacob, do you know how imprinting works?" Bella asked me.
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
We were sitting at the kitchen table, eating lunch. Well, I was eating. She was just daydreaming.
"I feel like Embry is getting dragged into this! I don't deserve him! He's practically getting stuck with me! He knows what happened, and now he's going to feel guilty! He won't really ever like me! Plus, with the imprinting, he thinks he should be with me. He doesn't get the chance to date and find someone better!" She cried.
"Bella," I cooed. "Embry really likes you. Sure, the imprinting has something to do with it. But I'm sure you'd still end up together without the imprinting! He's your soul mate. Now, I'm not saying that you need to start dating him. I'm just saying, give him a chance. Let him get to know you, at your own pace of course. He won't make you rush into anything. Embry is one of my good friends, he wouldn't do that."
(End of flashback)
I didn't know if Bella would like being at school with him. She would probably just feel even more pressured.
Once Charlie got home, I decided it was time to go back to my house. I told Charlie to tell Bella that I would pick her up at 6:30 tomorrow. I carefully got up, to not wake up Bella, and headed back home.

I didn't know what to wear for my first day of school. The clock ticked closer and closer to 6:30, so I knew that I needed to decide. And soon. After six outfits, I ended up wearing the first thing that I tried on.
I was wearing slightly loose dark blue jeans and a brown sweater. I left my hair alone, with a natural wave. I looked decent. I carefully ran downstairs to eat breakfast.
I was eating cereal, when I heard Jacob's car. I hastily put the dishes in the sink, mentally reminding myself to wash them later. I grabbed my bag, and was out the door before Jacob made it inside.
"Excited?" He asked.
"I don't think that's the word I would use. More like anxious, or nervous," I told him.
A/N: Okay, I need help. I don't know what to do with Bella at school. Should she have a breakdown? Should it go okay… For now? Let me know because I have no idea. Next chapter can't be posted till I know. Anyway, the Cullens should return in 3-4 chapters. Reviews make me happy. It was a really short chapter, I know. I'm sorry. ):
