Title Song The Beatles Chapter Song The Kinks

Chapter Nine Education.

Sophomores - 15-16.

Scarlett, Nessie, Seth, Quil, Brady, Collin.

Seniors - 17-18.

The Cullens, Paul, Jacob, Embry, Jared, Kim.

The Cullens are still at school, because I want them to be in the story, but I just love Forks and La Push too much for them to all move!

All of the wolves look around 23-25 ish, but these are the ages they are for the story.

Sorry if anyone is confused or anything. Feel free to ask questions! :D


Jacob POV. (Controversial, I know (; )

Seth and Scarlett. Scarlett and Seth. Sceth. Selett. It's all I hear. What about Janesmee? What about me? Nessie's more focused on their relationship than she is on ours.

'Ours is safe and beautiful, Jakey. Scarlett is stubborn and she hates romance. She needs me!'

Ugh. I love them all, but, c'mon.

Not to mention, the worst of the worst.

School.

I didn't go, but now, Seth, Collin and Brady had to. Kim too, so that meant Jared was. That meant that Quil was forced too. That meant that Embry had to be there too. Suddenly, Paul was going with them, and I was left with Sam and Leah. Not my favorite combination, I must admit.

'Pretty pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease, Jakey! Come to school with me!' Nessie would whine, and whine... but I loved her, so I kind of had to go.

"Dog, don't sit with us." Blondie hissed, we were all standing at the door to Bloodsucker Manor, waiting for none other than Renesmee.

"Just for that, we're all sitting with you."

"Emmett!" She shrieked, storming to him, huffing and whining that I was disgusting and she 'knew that I'd done it on purpose'.

"Nessie, c'mon!" I yelled up the stairs. She finally floated down them, ridiculously expensive-designer bag that Pixie had given her, on her arm, almost weighing her down.

"Alright, alright!"

"We have to get there early to get to Scarlett." Blondie's face became serious, and she rushed out of the door, Emmett in tow.

"What's up with her?" I asked Nessie, as we made our way to my truck.

"Scarlett'll be alone with the dogs." She rolled her eyes. We got into the truck and she grabbed my hand. "C'mon, baby, let's go!"

I love you so much.


Scarlett POV.

I stood at the steps to school like I had every morning. For the past two weeks, since me and Lexi ended our friendship and since I blubbered to Nessie about it for hours, the Cullen's had treated me like I was one of them.

Today, however, was different.

You could see the change in everyone. Boys looked buffer, and their t-shirts were tighter. Girls looked sluttier, with make up on heavier.

Even I had changed.

I was wearing a dress. A dress. It was purple and velvety and looked great with a white cardigan and white, knitted pantyhose. My hair was flat, and my eyes were lined.

I looked like a girl. Weird, right?

Well, the change that was on everyone's minds, and was the reason for the gathering of students in the parking lot was...

Them.

The trucks pulled in, and they all jumped out.

Wow.

They looked so uniform and perfect.

But you've seen them shirtless, you handled that, you can handle this.

"...totally want my body... hope the supply closets are clean..." Paul. He made eye contact with me and raised an eyebrow, smirked and looked me up and down. He nodded and wiggled his eyebrows.

Ugh. He was a pig, but damn, was he useful.

So, my outfit looked good. All that I needed now was-

"Scar!" He ran over and hugged me.

"Seth!" I grinned, forgetting the crowds around us.

"Quil's here, too!" I released Seth (and suppressed my cries) and ran to say hi to everyone else. Quil first, because he tackled me.

"Scarlett." Rose walked over, Emmett a second behind her.

"Rose!" She hugged me, and sniffed.

"What have you been doing? Playing with the dogs?" She tsked.

"Shut up." Paul grumbled.

The rest of the Cullen's arrived, and the reservation bunch went off to find their homerooms in the significantly-larger-than-theirs school.

It must've been weird being a new kid, and not being one of the 'cult' or their girlfriends (note to self: find a new name for the cult). The eyes weren't on them. They practically blended in... Kind of... Not really.

It was homeroom time. I walked in and sat down behind Logan, like always. The teacher took attendance, and we left.


I ran to English, to find a very confused Embry standing in the door.

"Dude, this is Sophomore English." I whispered as I passed him. He yelled a thanks and left the room. I rolled my eyes and sat at my desk. I was... early?

How the hell had that happened?

The jocks came in, the nerds came in, the Bitch-Faces (with the addition of Lexi, Linny and Rome were 'officially' a clique, and needed a name) sat down together, glancing at me, who was sitting at the back, in the corner closest to the window. I looked up as someone sat in front. He turned around.

"Ateara!" I yelled, throwing my arms up, as Quil smiled.

"Dude, you better rock at English."

"As if. I don't even know what we've been doing."

"Seth's in this class. He's gonna sit next to you, okay?"

"Okay." I felt myself subconsciously glance at Lexi. She'd been even more annoyed at me.

"Hello!" Seth sat next to me, with a thud. He grinned at me and Quil.

"So, Quilliam-"

The two looked at each other and laughed at me.

"-how was seeing Claire last week?"

"Oh, you've only gone and done it..."

"She's gotten so big! I hate being away from her, and now I'm at school, and it's just... ugh! You know, I miss her, so much. She was so happy to see me, did I tell you, Seth? She was dressed as a princess and..."

The entire class pretty much went like that.


"Scarlett!" I was greeted as I walked into math. I sat next to Brady. He grinned. "How are you with math?"

"Good, I guess."

"Awesome, you can work and I'll provide the entertainment!"

God, help me.


I had Biology with Nessie, which was uneventful. We (she) did the work and we (I) talked a lot about randomness (including all about Claire, because she'd just had Quil in her previous class).

"But, I get that they're fifteen-sixteen, but they look like nineteen year olds."

"I know, it's just the genes. Quil's eighteen, but he got held back a year and decided to repeat sophomore year again because none of the pack are in junior year."

The pack, that could work.

"Oh, that seems stupid, though. I'd hate to go through years and years and years of high school."

She giggled.

"Talk to my parents." I heard her murmur. I rolled my eyes at her weirdness, and told her to get back to work. She glared at me, but then giggled and continued to finish the worksheet.


I got to Spanish to find Brady and Collin sitting together. My seat was away from theirs, so I waved and sat down at the front.

Stupid teacher, making me sit alone at the front to 'improve my learning'.

It was stupid and again, uneventful.

Unless you count getting yelled at for speaking in French.


I got to lunch in record time. Again, I'd been quick at my locker, and again, I was standing, looking for Logan. I finally saw him, walking from the lunch queue. He sat down at a full table.

The jocks table.

I wasn't welcome, but Logan always had been. He was a jock. He usually never sat with them, but occasionally (mostly right after gym class), he'd sit with them instead of me and Lexi.

He'd sat with the jocks when I'd sat with the pack (love the new nickname) when they'd came in on the Tuesday. I'd sat with him and Embry on Wednesday. I'd had detention Thursday and Friday. We'd sat together almost everyday last week (except for Monday, when I got detention again).

I waved at him and he waved back, so I knew he didn't hate me or anything. But, I still had a problem.

Who was I supposed to sit with?

I didn't have Lexi like I used to. Maybe this is karma. I have to sit alone for stealing her guy. I was about to sit at the empty table by the door, when I heard my name.

"Scarlett!" I looked up to see Alice's little hand waving for me.

The Cullens want to eat lunch with you?

They never sat with anyone. Not even me, and I was becoming a family friend. I walked quickly, and sat down. I felt eyes bore into my head, and heard whispers being thrown around. Of course people were talking. This was an anomaly.

"Thanks." I mumbled. They looked at me, confused. Woah, way to make things awkward.

"Oh, yes, of course! We don't normally sit with others, but, you're our friend, Scarlett." Edward said, smiling. I smiled back at him. He had probably read my mind. He chuckled. There you go again, Edward, reading my mind.

"You know I hate it when you start laughing randomly, Edward." I heard Jacob grumble as he and Nessie sat down. Rose scrunched up her face, and the others all leaned back slightly. Nessie just leaned closer and rested her head on his shoulder. Those stupidly beautiful ringlets falling onto his chest.

"Great, Nessie's gonna need a hose down before she comes home." Rose groaned.

"Shut up, Aunt Rose!" Nessie snapped her head up.

"Aunt Rose? You people are such freaks." I couldn't help myself from laughing. They all laughed lightly too.

"Aunt Rose, Uncle Emmett." Emmett grinned, like he was a proud uncle. It was sweet. They were so close for all being adopted, even if it was at such a young age.

"Don't forget Auntie Alice and Uncle Jasper!" Alice squeaked. Jasper smiled, lightly, and moved his chair closer to Alice.

I heard chairs scraping along the ground and turned my head to see Embry, Brady and Quil sitting at the table, between me and Edward. Edward shuffled closer to Bella, who moved closer to Emmett, who moved closer to Rose, who didn't move at all.

"Told you we'd all sit with you, Rose." Jacob smirked. Rose glared at him and moved a hand to cover her nose. Funny, I don't smell anything.

"Jared and Kim are getting food, Collin's lost somewhere in the English block, Paul's most likely in a supply closet and Seth's-"

"Right here!" He pulled up a chair and pushed himself between me and Brady. I moved, knowing Rose wasn't going to move to let everyone else move as well.

"Hey, guys." Jared smiled, and pulled a chair between Jacob and Jasper, who moved, making Alice move right beside Rose, who continued to hold her nose. He motioned for Kim to sit, and she did. He got another chair and put it next to her. Jacob moved closer to Nessie, who moved closer to me.

"This is cosy." Seth grinned. Rose scoffed, keeping her hand on her nose.

"This is so not working." She grunted. Emmett put his arm around her waist and hugged her. She scoffed, but didn't push him away.

"Make room." Paul bellowed from behind us, He pushed a chair between Jared and Jacob. I turned my head to see the whole cafeteria watching us, trying to be casual.

I couldn't blame them for staring, there were sixteen people at a table that usually sat seven people, six of which didn't eat their lunch and barely spoke, letting little Nessie carry the conversation.

"Have you had a nice day so far?" Nessie asked everyone.

"I like it here." Kim smiled. Jared grinned, and nodded in agreement.

"I don't. I got lost three times and almost always ended up in Sophomore English." Embry grumbled. I laughed, remembering finding him in my class.

"What have you got next period?" I asked, eating my lunch.

"Math." Embry, Paul and Jacob said in unison. Rose glared at them.

"We have that." She frowned. I assumed she meant her and Emmett, who looked down, as if he'd done something wrong.

"Babe, that's not their fault-"

"Whatever." She huffed, folding in the arm that wasn't still clasped to her nose.

"I have AP English." Nessie grinned. Stupid smart Nessie.

"I have Chem." Seth said, eating his food.

"Who with?" I asked. I had Chemistry with Smith next. I hoped he wouldn't be there, because then he'd see what I was really like.

"Professor Smith, I think." Seth looked at me.

"Oh, we have that together..." I tried to fake smile. Edward gave me a sympathetic look, which made me smile. Super-Edward was so cool. He grinned at that.

"Thank you, Scarlett."

"What's going on?" Jared asked, looking between us.

"Just superhero business." Edward said, like that was a good explanation. No one said anything.

"Wanna walk to Chem together?" Seth asked. I nodded and smiled again. This time I wasn't pretending, because his enthusiasm made me actually happy.

Okay, seriously, stop sounding like a Taylor Swift song again! Oh great, now there's a Taylor Swift song stuck in my head.

I swear I heard Edward humming the tune to Love Story. I stood up, and everyone looked at me.

"Not yet, Scar, it's still lunch." Seth grinned. I blushed purple and sat down.

"Yes, I knew that."


Seth and I walked to my locker, where I got out my Chem textbook.

"And then he took her to the zoo-"

"Where she could name all the different animals!" I laughed. Seth had been telling me what Quil had told him about his day with Claire.

"She's staying with Emily this weekend, you'll have to meet her." Seth smiled. I nodded. He was right. I had to meet the 'most beautiful four year old ever with the most magical eyes and cutest little hands'.

"Definitely. Plus, I get some of Emily's food, who doesn't love that?"

"Exactly!" He grinned. I closed my locker, and turned back to him.

"Sam's a lucky guy."

"I'm in the middle of trying to get them to adopt me... my mom's not to happy." He laughed.

"Get me in on that action, bro." I nudged him, slightly. He rubbed the area I'd elbowed him, but I knew he was pretending.

"What time is it?" His eyes widened. "We have Chem!" He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the classroom.


"Miss Hunter, you finally decided to join us. And, you must be Mister Clearwater." Smith shook Seth's hand.

"Yes, sorry we're late."

"Please don't allow Miss Hunter to influence your education." Smith pleaded. I scoffed and rolled my eyes, walking to my desk at the back of the room. Smith looked around.

"Where should I sit?" Seth asked, still standing next to Smith's desk. Smith looked over the room again. I rolled my eyes again. The only seat that wasn't taken was the one next to me. The other spare desks were now filled with other reservation kids.

"The desk beside Miss Hunter will have to do."

I always sat alone in this class, because Smith was worried that I'd rub off on anyone I sat beside. I grinned as Seth sat next to me. Smith went about teaching us about bonds or whatever it was.

"I didn't think you'd care about being late to a class." I whispered, turning to Seth. He shrugged.

"I figured you would, you seem like the academic type." I laughed. Smith stopped teaching and glared at me, but went back to teaching.

"Hardly." I scoffed quietly. "I usually try to skip as often as possible."

He grinned, and wrote his name in the front of his textbook.

I decided that this would be the class where I showed Seth that I wasn't a pathetic loser who was obsessed with him. I'd show him the badass-feminist woman who didn't have any trouble forming sentences.

I needed to do that, not to get Seth to like me or anything, but because I had to get my pride back.

But I was fine with it making Seth like me more.

Lexi's not fine with it.

I frowned. I kept forgetting about her. Seth nudged me, and I looked up. People were looking at me. Smith was standing next to my desk.

"Miss Hunter, out!" He pointed to the door. I rolled my eyes, took the notice and stood up.

"You suck." I turned around to see Seth looking at Smith. Smith's eyes widened.

"Well, it seems you've rubbed off on our new student, already. Mister Clearwater, Miss Hunter can show you the way to Principle Mitchell's office."


Me and Seth left the room, and strolled to the office.

"Why did you do that?" I asked.

"I didn't want you to be alone." He grinned. I grinned back and kept walking.

"Mitch will probably let you off with a warning..." I said. I looked at my notice. Failure to respond to a question asked six times and a generally sassy attitude.

"He asked you which element has one proton." Seth said.

"I don't even know the answer, anyway. He'd have sent me to Mitch for that!"

"Hydrogen."

"I'll forget that." I giggled.

STOP GIGGLING, YOU'RE BADASS REMEMBER.

"You are pretty badass." Seth smirked. I blushed purple.

I really wished my mouth wouldn't talk without my permission.


So, they've had school for a day! What will happen in the office, with a woman who knows all the stories, a boy who's living the stories, and a girl who just wants to drink tea and hear about some wolves?!

PLEASE REVIEW! :D
