"So," I said, "shall we run through the plan one last time?"

It was overcast and drizzling slightly, a typical Monday morning...well for Forks anyway. Tom and I were speeding down the wet roads toward school, in his newly acquired Audi. But of course this was not a typical day for us. Today was Toms first day at Forks High School.

This should be... interesting.

"Try me" he said with a smirk, we was enjoying this.

"Teacher asks your name you say?" I asked in a TV-quiz-show-host manner

"My name is Thomas Harlow, but I prefer to go by Tom." he replied.

"Wow, this bound to go well, you can remember your name" I said sarcastically.

"Oh Bella, you are such the pessimist." he chuckled. "I still think I should have worn nicer trainers for today, it being such a big day and all." He obviously thought it was his turn to be sarcastic.

"What!?" I said, alarmed.

"Jeez Bells, I never knew you loved my shoes so much, don't get too offended" he said smiling.

"No, No, No, It's not that, but you said trainers." I explained.

Obviously he was oblivious to my explanation, because he just raised one eyebrow and said "Yes... your point is...?"

"Thomas Harlow where the heck were you born?" I asked, accusingly.

"In a bloody hospital, where do you think?"

"There you go again!" I shouted. "Your British aren't you?"

There was a long pause, and I waited with baited breath.

Finally he spoke, "I may have been born in England."

A broke in to a fit of giggles,

"What's so funny about England?" he enquired.

"Nothing" I managed to choke out, "I am laughing at me not you! I knew there was something different about the way you speak; I just couldn't put my finger on it. Oh Tom please say 'autumn'... for me?"

He rolled his eyes, but obliged tolerantly.

"Tom, do you think there is anything else I should know about you, before I go and advertise you in school as my new best friend...like have you ever been in jail?"

"Hmm," he mused, "probably quite a lot, but we can't discuss that now."

"Why not?" I asked. I hated when he avoided the question.

"Because we're here" he said with a wink.
