Okay, hopefully, this chapter is good. Oh and yes, Bella will be in this story. I have actually got that part written already. It's interesting I've got this part done through September of 2003. Then I have another file starting in December of 2004 all the way through the Ballet Studio. I just have to get on the ball and get them connected.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Fourth period Spanish with Alice was a little better.
Apparently Alice appeared a little less intimidating than Edward. After the teacher finished her first day lecture, a boy finally approached us. He had pale blond hair and didn't look as if he had any doubts on his pick-up lines. Apparently he is the school jock.
"Hi there, my name is Mike Newton. May I ask what your names are?" He asked as he leaned back on a desk and tried to look cool.
"My name is Alice Cullen and this is my sister Riya McCarty." Alice told him. When we moved here we decided that I should have a different last name than Emmett, but I didn't think I looked as if I could pass as Rosalie and Jasper's sister, so I took Emmett's human last name.
"You're new, right? I don't remember you guys from last year."
"Yes, we're new. We just moved here from Alaska." Alice told him. She had been doing this a lot longer than I had so I just let her take the lead.
"Oh, your father is the new doctor, right?" Alice and I nodded, "I thought so. Don't you have more brothers and sisters?"
"Yeah, Edward and Emmett are my biological brothers. Rosalie and Jasper Hale are twins and are juniors and then Riya and myself."
"If you're all brothers and sisters, why do you have different last names?
"We're all adopted." Alice told him.
"Really?" I nodded, "Don't you ever speak?"
"Yes, I speak. Why wouldn't I?" I asked him slightly annoyed.
"I was just wondering. You hadn't said a word yet." He explained, "So what grades are Emmett and Edward in?"
"Emmett is a junior and Edward is a sophomore like us." I told him.
"Oh, so do either of you have boyfriends?" Mike asked as the bell rang. We got up quickly and headed out the door where Emmett and Jasper were waiting. I walked up to Emmett and hugged him.
"Are you ready for lunch babe?" Emmett asked me as Mike walked by and stared at the four of us. I looked over to where Alice and Jasper were having one of their quiet moments.
"Sure, I am starving. I think I could eat a grizzly bear." I told him with a smirk.
"That's my girl." He boomed as he put his arm around me and headed towards the cafeteria. Alice and Jasper fell in step beside us.
Jasper looked over at me, "So Riya, how's your first day going so far?"
"It's good. I'm really looking forward to gym next period. I can't wait to see the three of you in class with all of us mere humans."
We all laughed, "You know we have done this before. We'll be fine." Jasper told me.
"I know. Rose has told me some of your stories." I told him with another laugh. "Tell you what. I'll bet you two hundred dollars that you can't go the full week without using any vampire strength."
"Deal." We stopped so Jasper and I could shake hands.
"I want in." Emmett started to pout. "I don't like this. My girlfriend and my brother are plotting together."
"For one, we're not plotting. We're betting. Two, you can get in. My side or Jasper's side?"
"Jasper's. It's a shame my girlfriend is already doubting me."
"I don't doubt you. I just know how competitive you two can get and deal."
"Deal." We shook on it. "I can't wait to see you lose."
"It's a shame that won't be this week. It'll be the easiest four hundred dollars I've ever made. But just remember, I'll still love you." He reached down and kissed me. I got lost in it, after a minute he broke away.
"Come on. We need to get some food in you." He took my hand and led me through the door to the cafeteria. "What would you like to eat today?"
"Just grab me a slice of pizza and some crackers." He grabbed two slices of pizza, my crackers, and two cokes. We moved up to the register and he paid for the tray. We went over to a table at the far end of the cafeteria where Edward and Rosalie were talking. We sat down and Rose looked up at me.
"Hey, so are you enjoying your first day so far?" Rose asked me as I took a bite of my pizza.
"It's good so far. It's different." I told her.
"So, Riya, your birthday is next week. What would you like to do?" Alice asked me.
"To tell you the truth, I hadn't really thought about it."
"What? It's your sweet sixteen. We are definitely doing something." Alice nearly shrieked at me.
"She's right. We have to do something." Rose looked over to Alice, "Maybe we should talk to Esme."
"Good idea"
Just then I noticed Edward barely nod his head while looking at Emmett.
"Edward, what did he just ask you?" If Emmett was asking Edward silent questions while my birthday was being discussed, I could only imagine what he was being asked.
"What? Oh, he was just wondering if everyone was staring at us." Edward lied to me.
"I don't believe that. I may be new to the family, but I'm not that stupid."
"Babe, it was nothing. I was just wondering if Edward would like to accompany me and Jasper to get your birthday present." He told me winking at Edward. Fortunately for me, Jasper missed this exchange.
Jasper looked up in surprise, "What? I didn't realize I was going with you guys."
"Caught you." I playfully hit Emmett in the shoulder careful not to hurt myself.
"Damn, confederate vampire. No wonder the south lost. They couldn't keep a secret for nothing." Jasper picked up a roll from Rosalie's tray and threw it at Emmett, Emmett ducked and it hit someone else on the other side of the cafeteria.
"Hey, I was going to eat that." Rosalie snapped at Jasper. We all stopped to look at her.
"Rose, why were you going to eat that?" Edward asked her so quietly I could barely hear him.
"I wasn't. I was just making sure you were all paying attention to me." Rosalie told him. Edward and Jasper rolled their eyes.
"Emmett, you know better than to make fun of the South. I think I am going to smash the XBOX when I get home." Jasper threatened.
"Don't worry Jazzy-Jazz-Jazz. I still love your confederate vampireness." I told him, he looked up at me.
"Vampireness?" He asked before we all started laughing.
Just then the bell rang. Edward headed to Spanish and Rosalie to Biology. The rest of us headed to gym. The teacher, Coach Clapp, gave us the same first day lecture as the rest of the teachers had given us already. Then he made an announcement that I wasn't ready for.
"Starting tomorrow we will be spending the week having a physical endurance test. At the end of the semester we will take the same test again to see how much you have strengthened." Coach Clapp announced before giving us the rest of the class free.
After Coach Clapp gave us free reign to do as liked, we broke off on our own to talk. We were still discussing my birthday plans when Mike Newton walked up to us.
"Hi, I'm Mike. We were wondering if you guys would like to join us to play basketball." He gesture to one side of the gym where some boys were playing. I had barely noticed Jasper's lips move when he and Emmett tightened their holds on me and Alice.
"Thanks man, but not today. My beautiful girl here is turning sixteen next week and we're discussing her birthday plans." Emmett told him, squeezing me just a little too hard.
"No babe. If you want to play, go ahead. We can discuss this later. Besides you, Alice, Rose, and Mom will just do what you want too anyhow."
"Come on Emmett, let's show them what the Cullen boys can do." Jasper told him while slapping him hard on the back.
"Fine. But I am so gonna cream you."
"Be careful." I leaned over and kissed him before he ran off behind Jasper. Emmett passed Jasper who turned around and winked at me. I moved up one bleacher to sit beside Alice. "So any chance you'll tell me if I'm going to win the bet or not?" I grinned at her.
"You'll win in about four minutes."
"Awesome. Are you gonna tell me what Jasper was up here hissing about."
"You heard that?"
"No I saw his lips moving."
"Oh, he was just telling us that Mike Newton had waves of lust coming off him. Which I could tell from the visions I keep getting. He's gonna ask us all out. When I say no, he's going to ask you, when you say no, he is going to ask Rose. Her reaction should be fun to see."
"Did he not realize that we're with Emmett and Jasper, or is he blind?"
"Edward told me he was thinking about us at lunch. He thinks we are all only together just because we move around so much." Alice laughed.
"Idiot," I whispered. "If only he knew the truth."
"Wait, watch." Alice pointed to where I saw Emmett jump a little too high for a human and throw to Jasper, who also jumped a little too high. He caught it and dunked it. "Go collect." Alice told me. I got up and walked over to the court.
"Wait, wait. Time out." Everyone looked at me, "Sorry, I just need to borrow my brother and boyfriend for a minute." Emmett and Jasper looked at me then started to walk over to me.
"Riya, now. Come on." Jasper pleaded.
"Nope, now." I shook my head and held my hand out. They reached into their back pockets and pulled out their wallets. They each handed me two hundred-dollar bills. "Thank you boys." I noticed Emmett's pout face. "Don't worry, babe, I'll make it up to you later."
He looked up at me and grinned, then leaned down to kiss me on the head. "Thanks, babe, I love you." He turned around and ran back to the game. I started back to where Alice was sitting when a girl got up and stopped me.
"Why did you do that?" She asked me real snobbishly.
"Excuse me?" I asked her. I didn't understand why it mattered to her.
"Why did you just stop the game and take money from them?" She asked as she put her hand on her hip.
"Who are you and why is it any of your business why I do what I do with my family?"
"My name is Lauren. Why won't you answer my question? Why did you stop their game to collect money when you could have done that at home?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize. Oh, wait your name isn't Cullen. It doesn't concern you." I turned around and started back towards Alice again. When the sound of Emmett's booming voice started echoing through the gym.
"Woo-hoo, that's my baby." He yelled as he picked me up and twirled me. He kissed me and just as it was starting to get good, Coach Clapp started clearing his throat.
"Mr. Cullen….Mr. Cullen, Miss McCarty, MR. CULLEN." Emmett broke away. I started breathing a little heavy. "I regret to inform you two, but this is Physical Education not Sex Education." A few people laughed, including Jasper, "Mr. Cullen, please put Miss McCarty back on the floor and follow me."
Okay, so that was a little longer than I had thought. Hopefully, I'll have the next chapter up later tonight or tomorrow. Please review. I have nothing else to live for at the moment.
