Bella's POV

Life truly is a circle, I learned. About 80 years later, once again, I was the new kid of Forks High School, though this time, I had Rexy at my side. When Rexy and I walked to the front office, where the redheaded, bubbly women instantly greeted us with a bright smile. "Welcome to Forks High school!" She called, expecting us already. After bringing us through the normal procedure about greatthis high school was, she finally dug out maps to highlight the routes to class. Rexy had no idea where anything was, and paid rapid attention to her yellow lines, but when he was waved through the doors to find his first class, I was forced to fake curiosity. And finally, I too was released, with the wishes of having a simply great day.

Rexy, of course, had been waiting outside the door from me, and we instantly compared schedules, making plans. Rexy and I only had three classes of the day with each other- Gym, French, and Math. I knew I would love those classes, if only because I would have someone to roll eyes with over these completely lame lessons we had heard a hundred times before.

I had only attened my first class, English, but already, I was bored out of my mind with school. I had learned all this stuff millions of times before, but I tried my hardest to look confused like everyone else. The teacher was ranting about some beautiful novel written more than 70 years ago, and was making sure each person actually read it. I almost laughed, remembering the book's actual release, where it had spent most of its time getting slammed by book reviews. Back then, that novel hadn't been called "beautiful" in the least. More than 70 years ago… that was a really long time, I contemplated. And to think, I was still alive, while some of my best friend's grandchildren, and great grandchildren were at this school. It was amazing, really. I would have to see if I could recognize any last names.

Out of nowhere, my cell-phone beeped. Crap, I thought. I had forgotten to turn it off. I kept my face completely blank as the teacher glared across the room, pretending to look around in curiosity like the other students trying to find the source of the phone. Giving up at last, she turned with a huff, snapping for whomever it was to turn it off. I quickly flipped open my small black phone, trying not to make it too obvious.

More of us, Rexy had written in his text message. Don't know how many. Can sense them.

This was normal – if a vampire was powerful enough, it would set off some kind of sense in what Rexy called his "force field". To tell the truth, I wasn't really all that worried. The rainy town of Forks was the ideal place for our kind – lots of dark days, small, hidden, thick forest and game- it was perfect. It made sense that another one of us would seek shelter here.

Vegetarians? I quickly typed back, switching the phone to silent.

The answer came almost instantly- Yes

I didn't respond, but carefully slipped the phone in my pocket, making sure it was silence. I wouldn't want to give the poor English teacher a heart attack, after all. I turned my attention back to the boring lesson; only hoping the rant would end soon.

Emmett's POV

Walking through the halls of Forks High School before 1st period, I kissed Rose goodbye at her class door (ignoring the "no public displays of affection" sign hanging feet away on the wall), and continued down the packed hall to my own boring class. I tried not to touch anyone in the hallways, but made sure to snicker at any displays of clumsiness – humans were too funny. We had been going to our school for nearly two weeks, but the routine had kicked in ages ago. Oh, I thought, how I've missed this place.

A group of girls passed by me, giggling. They probably thought I was hot. For good measure, I shot them a wink, and shrill squeaks and squeals could be made out in the group. Trying not to laugh, I turned, and caught something out corner of my eye. Glimpsing back, the girl had turned the corner, but she had seemed so familiar. I couldn't even place why.

It intrigued me. It didn't take much to do so, I had to add, but that was beside the point. Why did she look so familiar? From where could I know her, at all? It didn't make sense. I casually turned the corner, catching the sight of rich brown hair sweeping into a classroom at the end of the hall. Even though it was completely in the other way of my classroom and the bell was about to ring, I continued down the hall, following the girl. I knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate until I knew, anyways.

The bell cut through the halls, and students scattered into various rooms through the hallway. At first, I thought about to do the soon, but realized I couldn't go yet- I had a mystery to solve about this strange mystery girl!

I finally got to the classroom I had seen the girl disappear into, and tried to look inside carefully- only to have the door slammed in my face! I jumped back a little to keep from getting hit in the nose. Completely oblivious of the student outside her classroom, (the one she had practically hit in the face), the teacher walked to the front of the classroom, opening her mouth to speak.

I was about to start back down the hallway to my class, disappointed about my failure- but then a chocolate haired girl in the back of the room caught my eye, and I realized she was the one I had been following. The girl had big eyes the color of liquid topaz, beautiful brown hair, and even though her eyes were different, and her skin was paler, I would recognize Bella Swan anywhere.

I gasped out loud, instantly turning and half stumbling, half running down the hall, my eyes wide with what I had just seen. I tripped into my 1st period class, ignoring the strange look from Jasper and the angry look from the teacher. I collapsed inside the desk, throwing my head in my hands, rubbing it in complete bewilderment. Jasper motioned to me, asking what was wrong, and I just shook my head widely from side to side. That couldn't have been Bella…she had died…right?

You're losing it, Emmett, I thought madly, you're losing it, Emster! You're just seeing things… just seeing Bella…what's wrong with me? Oh-my-god. I'm seeing a ghost! Maybe I'm crazy… oh-my-god. It was Bella!

By now Jasper was throwing after wave of calm, but I was too edgy for even that to work on my frazzled nerves.

You're going crazy! You're mad!

Suddenly, Jasper threw his hand in the air, interrupting the teacher mid-sentence, whispering to look sick at vampire speed. I didn't have to pretend anything. With my mind ripping myself apart, I was sure I looked miserable already.

"Emmett's not looking so well, " he said, sending compassion the teachers way, "could I take him to the nurse?" The teacher looked at me, raising an eyebrow. It took a single glance for him to instantly agree, writing a pass and ushering us out the door, before Emmett threw up on his floor or something. Once safely down the hall, Jasper wheeled onto me, punching me in the chest.

"Emmett, what's wrong?" He whispered loudly, wanting to yell. "You were sending off so much panic in there, I wanted to rip your head off!"

"But, but, it's Bella!" I said in the loudest whisper I could mange, trying to get it off my chest, waving my arms widely. Realizing I had said too loud, I lowered my voice, exclaiming, "I saw her! In a class! It was her, Jasper! Bella was in a class!"

"Don't be stupid, Emmett," Jasper said, laughing, but the laughter only last a moment. "She's dead… You know that. Alice couldn't reach her, and if she can't… well, then you know it's impossible."

"But-" I tried to say, but was cut off by the bell. Suddenly, I realized what hallway we had wandered into, and I shoved him towards the direction of the classroom I had seen Bella was in, hoping I wouldn't look like a total idiot. "I told you!" I suddenly screamed, pointing at the chocolate haired girl. She didn't hear, and started walking with the flow of students towards us.

Jasper's mouth dropped open. "No, it can't be," he whispered numbly. "Bella's dead!" He said it low enough so no other student could hear, but at the sound of her name, Bella looked up, looking around, before her eyes finally landing on us. She froze in her tracks, looking us both straight in the eyes, her jaw dropping. For a moment, we all stood there, staring in astonishment at each other.

"Bella!" I yelled, breaking the awkward silence forming. I waved madly, a wide smile breaking across my face. She wasn't dead! Bella wasn't dead! I had always just loved that human! But Bella didn't answer. She turned and ran into the crowds of students, disappearing in the sea of people, leaving me with nothing to do, but drop my hand and pout. I was sure we looked like we had just seen a ghost – maybe we had, I thought. Maybe we had.
