Adam's Pov

"This has to be some sort of mistake" I whined looking up to my teacher. Carlisle and Esme we're leaving for some sort of conference and this is not how I want to spent this weekend.

"The group assignments are final Mr. Cullen" I started to speak again but I was stopped by his raised hand. "Final, Mr. Cullen" I groaned and put my head down on the table.

"Quit your bitching Cullen" Eva's voice chimed in my ear, we had been assigned to work together on a paper that was due Monday and since it's Friday that means we're going to have to do it this weekend. I lifted my head and shot her a glare. I took in a breath and sighed, she just smirked at me. "You're place or mine?"

I sighed again, if we went to her place there would be no escape, if we were at mine at least my family will be there. "Mine. Why don't we just finish it up after school?" I offered softly and she agreed, the moment the bell rung I took off out the door. I headed to the art room for the Art 1 class I had with Alice.

"So, we're having company tonight?" she smirked at me.

"Emmett's going to be pissed isn't he?" I sighed as I sat down next to her; Emmett was really looking forward to our weekend without the parents. He had started listing off the stuff we'd be able to do while we were home alone.

"Don't worry about Emmett" She smiled again sweetly, I knew she had seen something but I didn't have a desire to plead for her to tell me. When the final bell rang Eva was already waiting at my locker.

"Ready to go study buddy?" She smiled at me sardonically.

"Quiet you" I narrowed my eyes as I opened my locker. I quickly changed out my books and headed out to the parking lot. I told Eva to follow us to our house before climbing into Rosalie's car.

"Jeez man, angry much?" Jasper asked with a grin.

"Shut up" I shot him a look as Alice laughed. We were soon at the house; Eva pulled into the driveway, she had a beat up station wagon that sort of made me chuckle. "Come on let's go" I was really not looking forward to having her in my home. This girl really drove me crazy, she argued with me about anything and everything. If I said the sky was blue, she'd tell me I was wrong. I don't understand her at all it was like she knows exactly what to say to make me angry.

Jasper's Pov

Emmett was in a terrible mood, he was huffing around the house pouting because Eva was preventing him from spending time with Adam. They were in his room 'working' but I couldn't imagine they were getting much done because all I could hear was shouting. I got the strangest feelings from them, Adam was frustrated but Eva just felt passionate; Adam was feeling passion as well though, he really wanted to get her to agree with him. I heard a crash from his room and Alice danced into the room. "It's starting Edward!" She called out to him. I tried not to laugh as I remembered the vision she had when they first met.

"What the hell was that for?!" Adam shouted.

"That was for calling me a bitch" Eva's voice sounded calm but she was feeling very nervous.

"I did not!"

"You thought it" Alice gave a squeal when she heard this.

"You….you can hear my thoughts?" Adam stammered out.

"Took you long enough to figure it out wonder boy"

"How on earth could I have figured that out?" Adam's voice rose again.

"You really think I could possibly disagree with everything you think?" Eva asked; her voice was much gentler this time.

I looked at Eva for a moment "So all of this was just some cat and mouse game?" I couldn't believe it; she had been reading my thoughts and had been saying the exact opposite of the things I was thinking. I had been blocking Edward out of my mind out of habit and Dad had told me that he thought my powers were limited to being only used on one person at a time, something we figured out when I couldn't keep Emmett frozen whenever I tried to freeze Jasper. She just smiled at me. "Why?" I asked a bit sharper this time.

"Because you wouldn't have started to talk at all" I knew she was talking about our first day of class, her comment had been the driving force that got me involved.

"Why would you care?" She stood up from where she was sitting on my floor, she walked up to me.

"Because you have a lot to say Adam, you need to understand that" her voice was oddly soft.

"You've been arguing with me for nearly a month now" She nodded, "just to get me to talk?" She just smiled at me. I didn't know how to respond, I was sort of furious. "So everything you've said to me has been a lie?" I asked unable to mask the anger in my voice.

"No"

"Then tell me something true about yourself, right now"

She smiled at me "I've spent about ten years working with Teach for America" I was a little taken back by this, Teach for America was an organization that can repay student loans in exchange for teaching two years at urban public schools. This sparked the first real conversation we've ever had.
