Thankyou for all your awesome reviews guys! Here is the next chapter. I'm going to make the rest of my chapters longer now, and I'm officially starting a third story for this. But there will be at least two more chapters before the final chapter. And I'm sorry I took so long but I was busy with my latest fic. Me & You. If you could please read that one too! Considering it is probably one of my best fics. Anyway, I got New Moon! And I can't use the fact I was busy reading it as an excuse because I finished it in a few hours. I didn't put it down once from start to finish! Anyway, REVIEW!

Chapter Ten-School Boy

Toby's POV

"Are you sure you're going to be okay"? Bella asked. I rolled my eyes and gave her a reassuring smile. "I'll be okay", I said, slinging my bag over my shoulder. It was nice how much they cared about me, considering the situation. "Please don't go"! Olivia whimpered, clutching my leg. If there was any reason for me not to go to school, it was because I didn't want to leave my 'little sister'.

"I'll see you this afternoon", I told her, crouching to hug her goodbye. Her crystal eyes faded into brown, and they filled with tears. Her eyes often went brown when she was sad or concerned. Her pink rosy cheeks became tear streaked, so I put my arms around her. I felt her tiny fingers tangle in my hair as she hugged me back. "Bye bye Toby", she planted a fat kiss on my cheek. "See you later, Liv", I smiled. "Bye Bella", I waved goodbye to my new family.

I watched as my foster mother, I suppose you could call her, as she picked up Olivia and carried her to the car. I heard everything she said. "Mummy is it time for Toby to come home yet"? I smiled. She reminded me of my deceased human sister, Katie. I turned away and ran at human pace towards the school before I changed my mind. I headed towards the building that I knew was the office. It was the new private school that had been built a year ago, but it was still fairly small. It went up to year nine.

It was halfway through term two though, so I had already missed part of year seven. I could maybe pass for a year eighter at the most, but because Bella and Edward had decided to leave at the end of my year eight, they decided it would be safer to pretend to be a bit older, so then we wouldn't have to stay as long and people wouldn't notice the fact I wasn't aging as much. I quickly ran my fingers though my shaggy hair as I walked through the office.

I had been quick to get used to the smell of human blood. With Olivia in the house I was used to it. I went through the office and up to the reception desk. "Hi. I'm Toby…Cullen", saying it made me feel strange. Toby Cullen. But the woman didn't seem to notice, she just smiled at me brightly and handed me a timetable. "Thanks", I smiled. I glanced at the paper, memorising my classes. It wasn't too hard.

I wandered out of the office, into a courtyard looking area where a bunch of kids were doing handball. I leaned against a tree, pretending to read my timetable, but rather listening to the conversations flowing around me. A bunch of giggling girls walked into the courtyard. "Hey, check out the new super-hottie", I heard one of the girls giggle. I glanced up and saw that it was a girl with fiery red curls that had spoken. I quickly pushed myself off the tree and walked away to where my first class would be just as a bell rang.

I hurried through the classroom door and went up to the teacher, an elderly woman with greying hair and thick rimmed glasses. "Hello. My name is Toby Cullen. This is my first day here", I flashed a bright smile. After watching Edward, I knew it worked for winning people over. Maybe it worked a little too well. "Oh hello darling! I'll be your maths teacher for the rest of the year. Please, take a seat anywhere in the room", the elderly woman smiled like she had just won the lottery. I shuddered to think why.

Meanwhile, I hurried to take a seat at the back of the room. Both seats were empty. But they weren't for long. One of the girl's I had seen with the redhead took a seat beside me. She turned to smile. "Hi, I'm Zoe. I'm going to be showing you around the school today and coming with you to all your classes to help you get settled in", she held out her hand, obviously waiting for me to shake it. Reluctantly I did, and I got the response I was expecting. She jerked back slightly. "Are you okay, you, um, feel really…cold", she looked at me strangely.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just don't feel too great", which was true. She nodded and flashed a sympathetic smile. "No one ever does on their first day. I promise we don't bite", she smiled a little wider. "Yeah, but what if I do", I muttered quietly, so she couldn't hear. But it wasn't quiet enough. She giggled. My head snapped up to look at her. There was a genuine look of amusement in her dark brown eyes. "Then we promise not to bite you back", she rolled her eyes playfully and started writing in her book, copying something off the board. But I couldn't concentrate. I watched her the whole lesson. She was such a sweet girl.

I shook off the thought. My family had already informed me that I couldn't fall in love. I wasn't going to let myself, anyway. "Oh, I'm so sorry"! The girl gasped suddenly, turning to look at me with a look of horror on her face. "What"? I asked quickly. "I forgot to ask what you name was"! She rolled her eyes. "Oh. I'm Toby", I sighed. She was so pretty…

NO! Don't think like that. And before I knew it the bell rang, and the redhead girl was at our desk. She leaned in to whisper something in Zoe's ear. Of course I heard what it was. "Luck-y. He is such a hottie"! She giggled. Zoe frowned at her. "Jacky, why do you always think like that"? She shook her head. Jacky grunted and stormed off. Zoe fumbled with her books, standing up. I just watched her face, smiling. She must have felt my gaze on her, because she turned to look at me. "Are you coming? I have to show you around the school", she blushed. "Sure, I'm coming", I gathered my books and left the classroom with her.

One of my other classes was Gym, which I also had with Zoe. I changed into my gym clothes and went to look for her. She was pulling her brown hair into a ponytail. She shook her head, and it swished around her face. Her pink lips parted to reveal perfect white teeth. Her smile was so natural, not forced in any way. I strode up to her. She was wearing blue shorts and a white polo shirt lined with blue trimming. She turned her head when she saw me and smiled. "Hey Toby", she bounced up. "Hey Zoe", I grinned. "So, um, what exactly are we doing in Gym"? I asked. "We're doing soccer out on the oval today, actually", she said. "Cool", I replied. And the annoying redhead, Jacky, decided it was a good time to interrupt.

"Hi, I'm Jacky. You must be Toby Cullen", she flicked her hair flirtatiously. "Um, yeah. How'd you guess"? I asked playfully, but sarcastically. Zoe smiled. "You should really stay away from Toby, you know Jacky. He bites", she teased. I grinned. "It's true", I growled, and bared my teeth playfully. Then I lunged at Zoe and tackled her. Once she was down I quickly rolled away from her. She was laughing and shaking her head. Jacky just looked seriously peed off. "Well then, I'll leave you two to your biting and attacking", she sniffed, and trotted off.

"You friend doesn't like me very much, does she"? I sat staring after Jacky. "No, actually the opposite. She's mad at me because I got to show you around instead of her", Zoe admitted. I chuckled. "Do you mind telling her that I'm not exactly interested in her", I turned to Zoe. "I don't want to make her madder than she already is. Can't you tell her"? She pleaded. "Maybe. But why did she want to show me around"? I frowned. Zoe turned to look at me as though I was missing something incredibly obvious.

"Because she thinks your hot, duh", she rolled her eyes. I scoffed. "And why did you want to show me around the school"? I raised an eyebrow. Zoe blushed bright pink. "I always offer to show the new kids around. I just wanted to help", she bit her lip. I widened my eyes and pulled the cutest face I could. "You mean you don't think I'm cute"? I sniffed, pretending to be upset. Zoe giggled. "Yeah, I guess you're sort of cute", she teased. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help if. "Only a 'sort of'"? I demanded playfully. "Don't push your luck", Zoe chuckled. We both stood and followed the class out to the oval for a game of soccer.

The rest of the day passed quickly, and I got to know Zoe better throughout the day. But when it was time to go home I wasn't so keen on telling my adoptive parents about her. I didn't want to think about their responses. Bella pulled up in the car park and I climbed into the car. "So, how was your day"? She asked eagerly. I took a deep breath and forced a smile. "It was great. This girl called Zoe showed me around the school, so it was a lot easier because she helped me. She was really nice. Gym was my favourite class, because we played soccer, which I was really good at because of obvious reasons, but I did keep it at human pace, don't worry. But I was captain and my team won", I said proudly.

Bella laughed. "I know Edward will be proud, that's for sure. Oh, and I forgot to tell you. My sister Melanie has come up to visit, and she's at home right now with Edward and Olivia. I can't wait for you to meet her. She's a model", she added. I smiled. "Great. Is she a vampire too"? I think Bella was surprised by my casual use of the word, as though it didn't affect me. "Um, no, she's human. And she doesn't know what we are, so you can't be smashing things through walls or speeding around the house, okay"? She said sternly. I nodded. "We've already told Olivia she can't go changing eye colour and reading thoughts and what not. Oh wait, did I mention that? Olivia learnt how to read minds today. Oh, and I found my talent"! She added excitedly.

"Oh yeah"? I grinned. Bella nodded. "I can levitate stuff. I can't believe I never figured it out before. Watch", she took one hand of the steering wheel and slowly the magazine that had been sitting on the backseat of the car floated over to me. I laughed. "That's cool. I hope it doesn't take two years to work out my talent, though", I said. Bella smiled. "I'm sure it won't. So, what else happened at school"?
