Orion's POV

"Do I really have to go, you could just say that you're home schooling me or something?" I both wanted to go to high school and wanted to hide under the bed at the same time. What if no one liked me? With everything that happened and getting to really know Papa and Father I hadn't really got the chance to know anyone my own age. Edward occasionally came around to talk for a little while before Father chased him off and Jacob would pop by to show me around the woods but other than them I didn't really talk to anyone and Jacob goes to school on the reservation.

"Cub, I know that it's a little scary to be going into a school you've never seen with a lot of students you don't know but you can handle it and I know that you'll do just fine. You tested past two years of high school without a problem and have faced things that the children in Forks couldn't even imagine, this is going to be a cake walk." Papa pulled me into a hug and I gripped him twice as hard as he did me. Papa is always the one that knows just what to say to make me feel better while Father knows how to make me feel like a little kid again, probably because he never decided to grow up himself. "If you do have any trouble you have a cell phone and you can call us to come get you if anything goes too wrong but I doubt a muggle school could compare to the amount of trouble that you can get into in a week at Hogwarts." The smile on his face convinced me that I could handle anything and I couldn't keep the smile from spreading across my face.

Forks High was absolutely nothing like Hogwarts or any other school I've ever been to. Instead of being one building that all the classes were held in it was a motley assortment of brick buildings that were only connected by style and by the small courtyards between them. I hadn't got to see much of the school with the Dursleys' intense desire to make people think that I didn't exist and Papa's overprotective nature so finding the office was a matter of luck and a very detailed description that Papa had written on the inside cover of my spiral notebook. The office had a very homey feeling about it and the woman behind the desk looked friendly. "Hi there. I'm Orion Lupin and I'm here to get my schedule and a map of the school."

The woman looked up with a smile and started sorting through the massive amount of papers that were scattered around her desk. "Yes, you weren't able to make it to the orientation with all that trouble. This is your schedule and map, you'll get your textbooks from the teachers as you go through the classes. I'm sure you'll love the school but don't be afraid to tell someone if there's a problem with another student or even a teacher, okay sweetie?"

I just knew that my cheeks turned pink at that, especially with the amused smile the woman had plastered on her face. "Yes ma'am." I don't think that I could have gotten out of that room any faster if I tried. Maybe I shouldn't have begged Papa to let me skip the orientation.

Edward's POV

"Don't worry so much, he's going to be in school today and you won't have to worry about having his Father chasing you off." Alice was trying to be comforting but the clearly amused thoughts running through her head were not helping. Neither was the fact that she couldn't actually guarantee that everything was going to be fine since every vision with any of the people in the Lupin household was fuzzy at best and nonexistent at worse.

I wanted to make the best impression on Orion that I could. I had been able to sneak in a couple of times to talk to him but it never seemed to take his father long to find me and make me leave. I can't wait to get him alone at school without wondering when I'm going to have to leave in a hurry.

The was no sign of him when we entered the school parking lot but there was a faint trace of his scent lingering in the air, just enough to make me want to seek it out. I could see the smirk building on Jasper's face but I can't find the will to be angry at him with all the times I've teased him about his thoughts on Alice. Thankfully I had managed to get the ladies in the office to place Orion in all of my classes, being the sweet and considerate gentleman and only wanted to make sure that he settled in alright. The ladies lapped in all up and thought that it was incredibly thoughtful of me, though their thoughts made me feel a little guilty to be perfectly honest.

I entered English to find that Orion was already in the room and managed to snag the chair furthest from the teacher's desk and had his book sitting open on his desk. He looked like he would rather be anywhere other than in the school.

He looked up only briefly when I took the seat next to him and gave me a little smile that made my still heart lurch just a bit. "Hey Edward."

"Don't worry too much, the people here are generally good people if a little too nosy at times. I'll make sure they don't bother you though." The blush that spread across his face was one that will be burned into my mind and it only got deeper as the rest of the rowdy human teenagers crowded into the room and stared at Orion for a couple of minutes before sitting and you could practically feel the curiosity and the gossip that was building up in the background.

Predictably it was Jessica Stanley that first worked up the nerve to talk to Orion. She made sure to give me what I assume was her version of a terrifying glare, looks like she still hasn't gotten over me turning her down for the girl's choice dance at the end of last year. "Hey, my name is Jessica Stanley. If there's anything that you need to know just let me know okay." Her thoughts centered on how adorable he was and how pretty his eyes were, it sounded like she was thinking about adopting him.

Orion looked up at her for the briefest of moments before looking down and fiddling with a beaded bracelet that looked homemade. "Thanks, I know most of the stuff about the school layout and I'm sure that Edward will be able to fill in the gaps but if I need something answered that he wouldn't know I'll make sure to keep you in mind."

Jessica turned her glare back on me when she was sure that Orion wasn't looking and I could feel the animosity coming off of her thoughts. He's too sweet to get mixed up with the antisocial Cullens, especially you, you arrogant broody brat.

Jacob's POV

Honestly I'm grateful for the sudden growth spurt that had started shortly after Orion came with those things. I've always been stuck as neither the tallest or the shortest, not broad enough to be stocky or thin enough to be lanky. Now I'm filling in in all the right places and shooting up like a weed. Sure I spend the majority of my nights fighting off Charlie horses and cramps from growing too fast but I'm now one of the biggest guys in my class. Of course I now eat twice as much and have to pull in twice as many orders into the shop to pay for it all but it's a small price to pay.

Sam Uley is now the only guy on the Rez that gets close to me in size and with the way I'm still shooting up it won't be long before I pass him right up. He watches me all the time now, it seems that his eyes trail me whenever I'm out of the house. Something inside of me tells me to make him back off but Dad would throw a fit if I got in a fight with the Council's favorite enforcer.

School was a chore with all the guys cracking jokes about how Sam was going to recruit me for some kind of secret society with the whole virgin sacrifice theme. Embry even went so far as to buy me a long black cloak from a costume shop and left it on the back of my chair. He thought it was hilarious until he sat down for last block and ended up super glued to his seat. He had had to leave his pants in the chair and make a dash for home in his underwear, sweet revenge.

The shop was full for once, mainly with cars from town, being the only mechanic anywhere near Forks has it's advantages after all. The smell of grease and exhaust has always been one of my favorite mixes. Of course it doesn't compare to the scent that comes off of Orion, but it comes close. My dad had me working on a beat up old Ford that he managed to talk Harry Clearwater out of, which means he probably won it in a football bet. He told me that if I managed to get it fixed up enough to be a decent car by March that he would let me get the Rabbit that I've had my eyes on for awhile. The thing is a classic and I can hardly wait to get my hands on it.

Orion's POV

Lunch was every bit as loud as a meal in the Great Hall which is impressive considering there are at least ten times the students in Hogwarts that there are in Forks, probably even if you added in the middle and elementary schools. There were teenagers leaning over just about every table except for a small group of tables that surrounded the one that the rest of the Cullen children were sitting at. Emmett was leaning back in his chair staring at the ceiling with a rather amused look on his face while Rosalie was next to him looking like she was barely containing a sigh of irritation. Jasper was leaning against Alice and looked like he had a headache while Alice looked to be saying something though I couldn't hear anything over the noise of the rest of the lunchroom.

The only reason that I could really match any of them to their names was because Edward had told me all about his siblings during one of our classes together. I haven't really had the chance to get to know any of them with all the stuff that happened at the beginning of the summer and the overprotective nature of Papa for the last part. Edward was the only Cullen that came over and he was chased off every time and Papa wouldn't tell me why.

Every eye in the room followed Edward and me as we made our way to the table and a wave of whispers started the moment that we both sat down. Edward had told me that his family wasn't much for socializing so they were probably all shocked that I was invited to sit with his family. There's no doubt in my mind that there will be a thousand different rumors about us by the end of the day.

Alice was the first one to look my way and she reminded me of Luna with her eccentric style and the knowing look that floated in the back of her eyes. "Hi, I'm sure Edward told you all about us and made sure that you remembered which name went with which face so we'll pretend that we already went through the whole awkward introducing ourselves faze." Her smile was friendly and I could feel the tension leaving my shoulders as I leaned back in the chair and got my lunch out. Papa refused to let me eat the school's food and packed a rather large amount of food, he seemed obsessed with 'putting some meat' on me.

The Cullens, including Edward, mostly just watched me eat and made small talk about fashion, Rosalie and Alice, or the newest sports car, Edward, Jasper, and Emmett. The atmosphere was calming and it made it easy to ignore the stares and the whispering to the point that I hardly noticed that the bell had rung. Edward had to practically pry me from the chair and drag me to class, I didn't want to be surrounded by noisy children again without anything to stop them from asking horrible questions.

I couldn't have been happier to hear the final bell for the day. Edward had warded off most of the students with glares and sharp remarks thrown in but nothing could stop Jessica Stanley. The girl seemed to share most of their classes and somehow managed to snag a seat nearby every single time. She wanted to know every single thing about me from my favorite color to what I thought about politics, which was something I didn't even care about so long as no one tried to blow Forks up over a policy or law.

I made sure to say goodbye to all the Cullens while promising to call Edward later to set up a time for us to work on the start of term project for History and got out of the there as quickly as possible. Unfortunately that meant that I had to ride home with my hyperactive Father, but his chatter was soothing in a way.

"So how was the first day at the gigantic institution known as Forks High?" Father had decided to wait to interrogate me about my day until we got home and Papa was around to hear it. We were all seated in the living room with Father practically in Papa's lap.

"Wow, that's two big words in one sentence, Papa must have finally started rubbing off on you." The blush that spread across both of their faces was so worth it. "It was a good day though. Edward is in all of my classes and I got to get to know his siblings during lunch."

The look on Papa's face was the same one he always got when Edward was over or whenever he heard the name. "He's in all of your classes?"

"Yep. We even got partnered up for a start of term project in History about America's Civil War. I'm going to call him later to set up a time to go over and get started. His brother, Jasper, is a real Civil War buff and promised to help us get started and his father has a whole library with books on it."
