Remy POV

I applied to colleges early. Well Asher, Roman, Evangeline, and Korri and I did. Korri applied to many colleges in Rome and England she got accepted to the University of Florence, she wants to get her degree in multi-language. Roman and Evangeline got into The State University of New York at Stony Brook, Washington University, Evergreen State College, The University of Vermont, Cal State Channel Islands, San Francisco State University, and UCSB. I've gotten into Cornell University, and the University of New York at Stony Brook. I'm waiting to hear from Washington University, Central Washington University- Lynwood, and Washington State Spokane. Asher got into Washington University and NYU. He didn't apply anywhere else because his dad only gave him enough money to apply to two. During Thanksgiving he went with us to forks, I wanted him to see Washington.

"This is amazing…it's like a whole other world," Asher said as we walked in Seattle. I looked at him and smiled. We went to Pike's Place which is basically a flea market. It has two floors. One on the main floor and one underground. We walked around all day getting lunch at a café.

When we saw Washington University he liked it, well loved it maybe. I know Dartmouth was his dream college. We walked around the halls and looked at their Hockey arena. He was in love with it. He sat down in the player's area and jumped over the fence. He glided on the ice and smiled. He took my hands and led me onto the ice.

"Just wait. You'll be coming to school here and you'll watch my games and I'll watch…I'll watch you study," Asher said and I laughed. We kissed and as he glided around I sat down on the player's bench. He glided toward me breathing hard. His warm breath mixing with the cold air making a white puff. "Whats wrong?" he asked and looked at me. He sat down next to me and I sighed.

"I have to tell you something and you can't freak out or tell anyone," I said and he nodded. "There's a reason my family and the Cullen's look like we're all related. There's a reason where all strong and notice things from afar." He looked at me and nodded for me to go on. "I'm a hybrid, as is Cassie, Lukas, Roman, Evan, Coop, and Briar. We're all Half-Human, half-Vampire. Edward is my dad and he got my mom pregnant when she was human. My grandparents Aro and Sulpicia changed her. After she gave birth to me, Lukas and Cassie. We're triplets but Lukas and Cassie weren't exactly fully developed which is why we have different birthdays. My mom found Evan and them when Cassie and I were five. They were orphans whose father either didn't know or abandon them. Their mothers died during birth."

"Wait, What?" Asher said a bit shocked.

"I'm half human, half vampire, my mom and dad are vampires, my mom was human when she got pregnant with me, my sister and brother," I said and he nodded his head.

"Okay. Cool, yeah, that's awesome," he said and stood up. "Cool." He sat back down.

"Are you okay?" I asked and he nodded.

"My mom died when I was seven, she was picking me up from hockey practice and a drunk driver hit her head on. My dad blames me for her death. Every year on my mom's birthday and the day she died, my dad unleashes his anger on me…I'm a fourth French, a fourth German, and half American," he said looking at me, "a hundred percent human." He smiled at me and looked at me seriously. "I always knew there was something up, but I wanted to hear it from you…Your seriously the coolest girlfriend."

He didn't take it badly and when I told the family they were okay with it. I sat him down with the family one day and we gave him the whole story. He didn't seem that phased at all. My dad said that he was like mom. She was unfazed by it too.

"Hey Remy, Washington," Mom sang and she handed me a letter. Today is December 23rd. I grabbed it from her and opened it excitedly. I brought out the letter and read it. My heart dropped. "What's it say?" Mom asked. I covered my mouth and shook my head. No, I had to get in. I didn't apply to NYU.

"I didn't get in…How could I not get in…Mom," I cried and she hugged me.

"It's okay," she said. I pushed myself away from her.

"No its not we were suppose to go together," I cried and ran up the stairs. How could this happen? How could I not get in? I have the best grades, a four point two average. How? I cried into my pillow and just stayed there. I heard my door open and I looked at my dad. I just threw my head back in the pillow and cried.

"Remy it's not the end of the world. I know how much you really wanted to go to school with Asher. I know it was your dream, but maybe you'll get into Central Washington in Lynwood. You'll only be around thirty minutes away from each other. You'll still be together. The boy loves you too much to even think of ever leaving you," Dad said. He kissed my head and I heard him leave the room. I will be dammed if I don't get into that school either.

Two Days Later

Cassie POV

I have money. The entire family knows that. They just don't know how much. Luckily I do and I plan on using it for the greater good. Like today is Christmas and I know someone who could use the money. In fact I know a few people who could. I have two million four hundred and seventy two dollars in my bank account. Grandpa Aro and Grandma Sulpicia both paid me during the summers I worked in the library. I told them that both were paying me and they said not to tell the other. That it was just an extra little something for my hard work. The amount wasn't little, it was a lot. That and Grandpa Aro gives me, Lukas, Cassie, briar, Evan, Roman, Korri, and Coop. a hundred Euro's a month which in us dollars is like one hundred and twenty one dollars and fifty cents.

"Hey mom, I'm going to Rachel's house," I said. Mom looked at me. Rachel's on the swim team with me. She's the fastest; well I could be the fastest, but I kind of have to hide my powers. I already had my backpack on.

"Its Christmas Cassie you can go tomorrow," mom said.

"I can't it has to be today. We're trading presents," I said. She sighed; I was lying though only my dad knew the truth.

"Be quick," dad stated with a smile and I nodded. I grabbed Lucas's old motocross bike, put the helmet on then left before anyone could stay anything. I drove to Matthew and Natalia's house. They're the twins on the swim team, freshman. I parked away from their house and then ran to the front door. I put two envelopes. Each had a savings account card in it with the bank information. They wouldn't be able to access the money until they turned eighteen. However there was five hundred cash in each of the envelopes for them each savings account had a hundred thousand in it. I rang the doorbell and ran off. I heard the door open. It was Mathew. He opened the envelope with his name on it. I heard him gasp.

"No, way, Natalia," he yelled in his Cuban accent. I saw Natalie and she opened her envelope as well. They both gasped.

I heard them yell for their mom. Then the door closed. I ran to the bike and then drove to a house I had only seen once and that was when we gave the person a ride home. The house was well for lack of a better word ugly or malnourished. I rode to the house and stopped in front of it. The McKnight residence. I got off and ramg the doorbell. I had a letter not for me, but addressed to me in hand. I rang the doorbell again. The door opened and I saw Mr. McKnight in jeans, a red t-shirt, work boots and a hat.

"What can I help you with?" he asked me.

"Hi, Mr. McKnight's, I'm Remy's younger sister is Asher here?" I asked. he looked at me and then pointed to the side.

"He's out back by the pond," he stated. I nodded and went towards the back of the house. there on a bench was Asher just sitting. With my power I unfroze the ice. He gasped. I lifted the water up and made a Christmas tree, then a circular Christmas garland, and then I started to make funny faces with the water. Asher laughed. I walked up to him and sat down next to him. He saw me and smiled.

"I don't think I'll ever get use to that," he said and I smiled. "What are you doing here…alone?" I looked at him and smiled.

"You have to promise not to be mad," I said and he raised an eyebrow. "I know you would have applied if your dad have given you enough money to be able to pay the eighty dollars for it and the fifty for nyu, but he only gave you a hundred." Asher nodded. I then held out the envelope. He looked at it and Gasped. "I know it's your mom's alma mater. I also know what it says…no I didn't open it. I called." he nodded and opened the envelope.

He opened the envelope slowly, shakily. I know how much he wants this. I know how much this means to him. he only ever talked about the school when he was applying. I know this is his dream. I know how happy he'll be and I know how happy Remy will be for him. He took a folder our and then opened the folder. He looked at it and smiled.

"Dear Asher McKnight...Congratulations. You have been accepted to Dartmouth College for the year 2023/2024. We anticipate your acceptance letter for the fall semester of 2023," he said and looked at it, "Holy fuck! They gave me a sports scholarship for Hockey…Thanks." He hugged me and I looked at him. he looked at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"The scholarship is renewable but only covers about half of the cost," he said. I looked at him and sighed. I brought out an envelope. I handed it to him. "What's this?" he asked me.

"It's a debit card. Under your name. There's two hundred and fifty thousand in it. That should cover what you can't pay and a bit more," I stated. He shook his head.

"I can't, I can't take it," he said. I looked at him and pushed his with the card towards him.

"Yes, you can. Besides knowing you you're probably going to get a job on campus and what not," I said. I know about his part time job at Kent's Car Garage. He helps fix cars.

"What can I do to repay you?" he asked me. I looked at him and sighed.

"Asher, you make my sister happy…you don't need to repay me," I said. "I have to go…Don't call Remy yet, in thirty minutes call her." He looked at me and nodded. I stood up and he hugged me.

"Thank you. You have no idea what this means to me," he said and I nodded.

"You know what. Come by our house in thirty minutes. You know how to ride Lukas's motocross bike right?" Asher nodded. I threw him the keys. "Helmets on the bike." he nodded/ I smiled and dashed through the forest. I ran with a smile knowing this was going to be Remy's best Christmas ever. When I got to the house I saw Grandpa Aro, Grandma Sulpicia, Alec, Jane, Heidi, Felix, and Demitri, along with Uncle Caius and Uncle Marcus.

"Grandpa," I stated and hugged him. "You came for the best part." I said and he smiled. I hugged everyone. We went inside and everyone got acquainted. I saw Remy and couldn't stay still in my spot.

"Ants in your pants," Lukas said and I shook my head.

"Can you stop looking at me," Remy stated and I shook my head I reached into the backpack and handed her the envelope.

"Merry Christmas," I said. She looked at the envelope and then at me. She was giving me a questioning look. She opened the envelope and brought out the folder. She looked at it. My mom gasped when she saw Dartmouth on the folder. Remy opened the folder and gasped.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! I got in! I got in!" Remy screamed and she then threw her hands around my neck and hugged me. She gave my mom the letter excitedly and the smile couldn't be wiped off her face. My mom hugged Remy and my dad and I gave each other a high five.

"You knew," my mom stated and dad nodded. Remy then hugged dad.

"So what did you do/ did you go get the letters?" Lukas asked. I shook my head.

"The swim team twins both have a saving account with a hundred thousand and they both got five hundred dollars…this all just happened mysteriously and I was there to see it," I said and both sets of grandparents laughed.

"You have to mush money for your own good huh," Grandpa Aro said and I nodded. The doorbell rang.

"Remy it's for you," I said. She went to the door.

"Merry Christmas," I heard Remy say.

"Merry Christmas, Best Christmas actually," Asher said and I smiled. Mom looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Just wait," I whispered and she nodded.

"Why?" Remy asked.

"Your sister…I got accepted to Dartmouth partial scholarship," he stated. "Cass gave me two hundred fifty thousand that I plan on repaying…I got into my mom's Alma Mater!"

"Oh my god,' Remy squealed.

"What?" Asher asked.

"My sister…I'm going to kill her…I got into Dartmouth too," Remy said and I heard them both hug happily. "We're going to school together!"

Asher POV

Cassie left and I stayed on the bench a while longer. I was too happy for words. Way too happy. Damn, that kid. God, this has to be a dream… I mean, I can't be going to Dartmouth, can I? Oh god, my mom…she would be proud, so proud of me. I can't believe this.

I stood up and walked towards the house. I could feel the tears in my eyes. I could feel one falling on my right cheek. I walked into the house through the back door. I walked into the living room.

"What's wrong? What you crying about?" My dad asked. I looked at him. He looked at the envelope in my hands with my acceptance letter in it. "What's that?"

"It's my acceptance letter," I said. He looked at me with a confused look.

"To where?" he asked me.

"Mom's alma mater…I got into Dartmouth…I got into Dartmouth dad," I said smiling with fresh tears. "I'm going to mom's school."

My dad looked at me surprised, shocked, but proud. He stood up and hugged me. He hugged me. I mean he has before, but usually we just stay away from each other.

"I'm proud of you son…I am, but we don't have the money," he said.

"I got a partial scholarship," I said. I was about to tell him about Cassie, but decided against it, "I also got another scholarship. It's a two hundred fifty thousand dollar scholarship. They sent me a debit card with the money in it. They check the account to make sure I'm using it on school." My dad looked at me proudly. "You don't have to worry about money."

"I'm so proud of you Asher, Your Mom would be so proud of you," He stated and hugged me. This is a rare moment, but it's definitely one I'll remember. He let go of me and I went to my room. I changed. I put on my nice khaki pants, green Henley' shirt. Over my shirt I put on my red flannel. I then put on my black shoes. I ran into the bathroom and fixed my hair. I grabbed the wrapped box from my bedroom and my jacket. I put my jacket on. I then put the gift in my backpack along with the acceptance letter.

"Be back by ten," my dad said and I nodded. I looked at the clock. It's only twelve in the afternoon. I've got time. I went into the garage. I opened the mini fridge and grabbed the two bottles of apple cider and the apple pie. I put the bottles in the backpack. I put my backpack on. I held onto the pie as I got on my bike. I put the pie in between my legs and made sure it wouldn't fall. I then started the bike and rode to Remy's house.

I rode the exact way to the house. I don't know what Cassie was doing that I had to wait, but it's okay. I can totally wait and I did. I made the turn and looked down at the pie for a second. I know the adults in the family don't eat because they're vampires, but everyone else will eat the pie. Maybe I should try and kill a deer or something…yeah right, I'd probably just end up killing myself. I turned again into the driveway. A few seconds later I parked. I put the helmet on the bike. I held the pie and then ran up to the door. I fixed my hair a bit and rang the doorbell. I waited a few seconds before it opened. It was Remy. She was in black jeans, a white and black striped sweater, but you could see the red t-shirt underneath. She also had on black flats. I smiled to her.

"Merry Christmas," she said with a smile.

"Merry Christmas, Best Christmas actually," I replied. I only had eyes for Remy I swear I'm putty in her hands.

"Why?" Remy asked me.

"Your sister…I got accepted to Dartmouth partial scholarship," I stated happily with excitement. Remy smiled big. "Cass gave me two hundred fifty thousand that I plan on repaying…I got into my mom's Alma Mater!"

"Oh my god,' Remy squealed. She jumped up a bit and I smiled at her antics.

"What?" I asked as she looked at me as if she were going t explode with more happiness.

"My sister…I'm going to kill her…I got into Dartmouth too," Remy said and she threw herself at me. we hugged and I didn't want to let go. "We're going to school together!" I laughed a bit and nodded.

"Yeah, and you'll get to see me kick ass in hockey," I said and she kissed me.

"Come on," she said. she took the pie from my hands. I took the two bottles of cider out of my backpack and then put my backpack back. I walked in and hung my backpack on the coat hanger. I followed her into the living room.

"Grandma Sulpicia, Grandpa Aro, Uncle Caius, Uncle Marcus, Uncle Alec, Felix, and Demetri, and Aunt Jane and Heidi," Remy said and I nodded, "Everyone this is my boyfriend Asher." I smiled at them politely.

"Oh yeah, the cider," Remy said. "Be right back." I followed her into the kitchen and I put the cider in the fridge.

"You didn't tell me about an uncle named Alec," I said remembering the story of how her uncle was but hurt that Remy wouldn't say his name.

"What?' I heard the guy say.

"Shut up, I totally did," Remy defended. I laughed and she hugged me. I walked back into the living room. I walked up to her grandfather Aro.

"Asher McKnight, it's a pleasure to meet you. Remy talks highly of you and your wife," I said. He shook my hand and smiled. I shook all of their hands. Alec shook his head at me with a smile. I went to the backpack and took out my gift. Remy took my hands and led me upstairs. I looked back at Lukas. Lukas had two thumbs up.

"Dude she's not going to kill you," I heard Lukas say.

"I don't think its Remy he's scared of," I heard Evangeline say. I walked into Remy's room. we sat down on her bed. I took my jacket off and then gave her the present. She handed me one as well.

"On three, one, two, three," she said. We started to open the gifts.

"Thanks," I said with a smile. I got four new shirts. One button up, one v-neck, one Henley, and one long sleeve.

"Oh my god I love it," Remy said. I gave her two blank canvases and a shirt. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "What it's the thought that counts."

I reached for my jacket and grabbed the box from the pocket inside. I handed her the box and she looked at me. She took it and opened it slowly. She gasped.

"Your eyes, reminded me of your eyes when I saw it," I said.

"I love," she said admiring the necklace, "can you help me." I nodded and put the necklace around her neck. We then just lay down on her bed. I held her close to me.

"Definitely the best Christmas," she said and I nodded as I kissed her.

"Yeah, definitely," I said. This was perfect the second best day of my life. the first being when I bumped into Remy in the library during lunch. she scoffed at me and I laughed at her expression. We ended up talking until the bell rang. That was the best day of my life and today is definitely a runner up.
