Chapter 12
Bella's Point of View
I suppose that because yesterday was completely bliss, today I would have to visit Hades himself- in the form of high school. High school. How comical it was that a vampire and a werewolf would be going to a public school where other mundane students watch you in awe constantly? As I walked down the despicable halls, I watched as people seemed to clear a space for me and Edward to walk through, watching us in surprise. Edward barely acknowledged them, but me being, was glancing nervously at all the unwanted attention that I was attracting to myself.
I frowned as we walked down the grey tiled floor, hand in hand. Edward rubbed small circles into the back of my hand. I smiled at him, and as his lips tilted upwards, Jessica came up to us.
"Hi Bella! Edward." She greeted me, and Edward curiously. My mind buzzed with possible ideas that could be running through her head. Obviously it was something funny, since Edward was smirking.
"Hi Jess." I said to her masking a fake smile on my face. It wasn't that I particularly hated Jessica; it was just that I knew her reputation of being the gossip queen. Edward said nothing, but he had murmured something that was even to low for me to hear. Jessica's peppy attitude got to the point, as she asked right away and made the reason she was talking to Edward and I.
"So I heard rumors, that you guys are officially a couple?" She asked. I rolled my eyes. Of course the reason she would talk to me was because of some high school drama.
"Yes." I answered, only to find that Jessica was facing Edward, looking for him to confirm my answer.
"We're dating." He said.
"That's great!" She said, but her face looked quite annoyed. Edward laughed aloud, and everyone in the halls now faced us. As if we didn't already have enough attention. Apparently the school hadn't heard the Cullen's express any if any emotions.
Jessica walked away, swaying her hips so that it was obvious that the way she walked was unnatural. I smirked, and we kept walking towards our classes.

The rest of the day went smoothly. Because I had no one of Edward s siblings in any classes I could avoid and rivalry. I missed Edward, but classes went by like breeze considering the circumstances. As lunch came around, We met up at my locker, and we sat at a table no one sat at. His siblings were yet to arrive as we got our lunches.
We sat down, with Edward not eating anything and me playing with an apple that was really to unappetizing to actually eat. And then they came.
Edward stiffened almost as soon as I could smell them, signifying they kept their thoughts hidden well from him. They walked in the room, just as graceful as before, but something seemed wrong, as if something was missing. And that thing was Edward. I felt horrible about the circumstances.
Alice sat down next to Jasper, and Rosalie Emmett, so that I could clearly see Emmett and Rosalie. Alice's perfect posture was for some reason flawed, and Rosalie looked angry. I glanced at Edward, confused at the conditions. He shrugged, either because he didn't care or he simply didn't know.
As other students filed in through the cafeteria, their eyes seemed to always end up of Edward and I, their curiosity shining through their eyes, and in most cases, jealousy.
Rosalie glared at me menacingly, and I couldn't help but flinch at the ferocity of her facial features. I understood protecting your family, but this was out of the line, bringing our species problems to the public. Edward rubbed my back, and I caught other tables other than the Cullens watching Edward and I. I glanced around nervously.
Suddenly, the phone that Edward gave me this morning (which I was unhappy about) rang in my back pocket. I recognized the number, though I had not plugged him in as a contact.
Jacob.
Edward noticed my attention was on the shiny, black, skinny phone in my hand. I noticed that Jacob wasn't calling me, but instead he was texting me. Reading the text, my eyes widened.
Come 2 La Push. NOW!
I shot out of my seat, and glanced at Edward. He nodded, and with that I raced through the cafeteria doors to the reservation.

I stopped writing at this point. And now this is Hailee, the current writer of this fic. I am sitting here writing this story, and realizing how much I don't want to finish this. I am astounded at how awful this writing is when I look afar, I feel like I am failing you, my fans. I can barely keep up with my schedule, with me going to school at seven and leaving cross country at 5. That's ten hours of straight work, not including the usual hour and a half homework. Plus dinner, and you know, life, I barely have time to do this. I am here to announce that I am going to be updating much slower than I hoped (about once a week). I feel awful about this, but I know I can barely keep up with that. I was so close to abandoning this, but I realized how much you guys support me, and I at least owe you this. I love you guys so much and I hope you stick with me, despite my issues. I hope you understand how hard it is for a thirteen year old girl to keep up with everything, and thank you.

I was at Jake's house, and right now, I was pacing, back and forth, debating how I could help the newly formed wolves. Seth, the fifteen year old boy who was always happy, and Leah, the twenty year old that was always angry were completely opposites, therefore needed different approaches. I knew how it felt when you were the only girl wolf, and it was hard, but the fact that she and Sam had a past came to mind, and I was extremely worried that this would seem like the last straw fir her hardship- seeing her first love, love someone else right in front of your eyes.
Sam was here also, but he simply stood in the corner of the room, awkwardly. Everyone knew about Sam's past with Harry's daughter, and I could practically feel sympathy around the room for Leah.
I entered the room where Leah lay, worried about her shaking position. I wanted to be the first to greet her as a wolf, as I would be the most understanding, being the only other female. Finally the change stopped, leaving her as a wolf. Quickly, I changed and phased.
Hi Leah. I thought to her.
Who are you? What am I? Her nervous thoughts were loud and not controlled, so I could hear everything else in her mind, including her pain about things other that physical.
You're a werewolf. Part of the Quilete tribe. I explained.
XxX
After explaining what was happening to her and her brother, I taught her how to phase back.
"Who else?" She asked simply.
"There are two packs." I started. "Sam." Leah flinched. "He leads one, and I lead the other. Jake is the only wolf in my pack so far though."
"I want in."
"What?" I asked.
"I want to be in your pack." Leah said. "I know you don't understand our relationship, but I couldn't bear to hear his thoughts about Emily, or me, every day." She said.
I nodded to her, concerned.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It's this stupid werewolf gene that ruined everything for me. I gave up Sam, my friendship with Emily, and now my future, to the pack!" She yelled.
"I'm sorry." I repeated.
Jacob rushed into the room.
"Seth's done."
We entered the main room, where Seth laid, with Harry next to him. Seth was in his wolf form, glancing nervously around the room. Sam was already phased, most likely explaining what was occurring to Seth.

Leah, Jacob, Seth and I were in the woods in La Push, and Jake and I were teaching Leah and Seth about werewolves. When Seth had found out that Leah had already agreed to be in my pack, he immediately joined, and my pack was growing almost larger than Sam's.
Leah hadn't reacted well to imprinting, and even though she understood the ways, she hated what it did to her life. Both werewolves were surprised when I brought up the topic of vampires, and more about Edward.
"Doesn't he like bite you when you kiss and stuff?" Seth asked curiously. I laughed, and answered quickly.
"He doesn't have fangs." This was the most lighthearted question about vampires, because they were mostly curious about the feud between Sam and I, about Edward.
"He's such a hypocrite." Leah mumbled, low enough so that Jake and Seth couldn't hear. I assumed her words pertained to Sam. I thought about what she meant, and realized she must have indicated about his imprinting dilemma between Emily and her.
"I know." I replied. She looked at me, surprised that I heard what she said.
Sorry for the short Chapter! I feel horrible. Allergies suck!
