A/N~ Hey guys. I think it's been about maybe… a year since I last published something? Not quite. But I want to take up this story again. I am so sorry, everyone. You trusted me to continue and I didn't. That's my fault and again, I am so sorry. But you can skip right on through this part right here if you want to your long-since-awaited chapter, but here's why I haven't updated.

I have been soooo busy with my school! It's summer of course, but let me tell you- sometimes I would be up until 3 AM working on something. Also, I had lots of drama this year with friends… I would go home crying every day and say stuff that sounded depressed and eventually I was fortunate enough to switch schools, but it kind of scarred me for life. Everyone needs to know that you hold power against people and don't let them treat you so badly you want to hurt yourself. Make a stand. You've got this!

Anyway… I also do competitive dancing, and that took up soooo much time, let me tell you. And then trying to maintain a social life? That was almost impossible. So I think you get why I haven't written- but I hope to start up this story again for you guys!

And this is to Twilight forever- have you ever thought that maybe I had stuff going on? I'm sorry I disappointed you, but people have lives they need to get to. Please don't assume something before you talk about it. I don't think you'll ever see this, but if you do, please just understand. But hey, better late than never.

Quick side note- you have absolutely no idea how many times I wrote this chapter, only forgetting to save it after. Learn from my mistakes and SAVE YOUR WORK CHILDREN OF GOD!

I'm back! Enjoy :))

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN IT

Icy Mist Chapter 8

My first class for the day was history. I was upset because I only had two classes with Edward, but I would be with Alice the whole day, so I guess I could have gotten a worse fate. The only thing I wasn't looking forward to was her whispering shopping suggestions in my ear every passing moment.

When I walked into school with my five family members, everyone stopped talking and gaped at us. As in mouths wide, drool falling gaping. It felt like I was in a television show.

Everyone seemed to already know each other. Groups of people were shoved together by the lockers, by the water fountain, everywhere. And we were the outsiders, the new kids. I didn't mind much, but I did hate the attention. Hopefully it would die down soon.

But I knew that these people would never really leave me alone- not the freakishly charming, mysterious new girl who spills nothing about her past. I would stick to my family, though, and then I should be okay… right?

"Are you ready?" Edward whispered to me in my ear, sending chills down my back. His hand rubbed my back gently, and it took me a second to respond.

"No, but I must be. Hopefully that Luke kid isn't in my classes- I'm not sure I could handle his stares," said I. Edward just rested his cheek on my head in an "I'll see you later" embrace and I walked towards Alice, ready for history class.

Kids were gathered all around the room, already in seats, when Alice and I arrived. To my displeasure, Luke was in there as well. He really was a nice guy, and I guess I brought this upon myself, but I wish he wouldn't be so absorbed by me.

In the room, the tile was red and gray patterned. From the ceiling were the classic long lights, and the desks were a tiled granite tables with two stools stuck underneath.

Alice rushed to a table before the bald, chubby teacher could say something to us. I was walking over to the chair next to her when someone caught my arm. Luke.

"Hey there," I said, calmly taking my arm back.

"Hey," Luke said, flashing a grin at me, which I had to admit was very bright. "Mind sitting by me today?" said he. A lot of girls seemed jealous of me right now; Luke must be popular. But to be honest, I was jealous of the other girls.

"I'm sorry," I almost whispered. "But it appears my friend Alice has already saved one for me," I said.

"Next time then, Hale. And I love the outfit," he said, grinning at me again. I pretended to be flustered at his comment about my too short skirt, and went to join Alice.

"It's really not fair to him, you know," Alice said, snorting. "He has no chance of not falling for you. By the way, check your phone," said Alice.

I had one unread message from Emmett in the Cullen's group message. He said, who's up 4 another game?

Alice said hell yeah, Jasper didn't respond, and everyone else said stuff like do you want to die? and have you lost your mind? In SCHOOL?!

Alice finally texted, there's no point in fighting, and everyone gave up. But by this time, the teacher had started talking.

"Hello, my name is Mr. Curarka. But you can call me Mr. C. I will be your history teacher this year, teaching you most about WW2. Now today, we're mostly going to be doing a question and answer. Who wants to start us off?" said he. Practical high school teacher.

"How about Mr. Suka?" the teacher said.

I pretty much zoned into my phone after that.

Alright, truth or dare, Bella? Emmett asked me.

I made a silent agreement with myself. I would say dare this one time. I may not be reckless, but I want to loosen up a bit.

Dare.

Alice gasped. Mr. C looked at her lazily, and then went back to the class. But then he jerked his head back towards us and his heart started picking up speed.

"Oh, god. Grow up," Alice whispered to me. I chuckled a bit too loudly. Honestly, the worst part about it was he had a wife at home.

I sent a text message to the group.Uh oh. I think Alice and I have a teacher after us now- Mr.C.

I hadn't gotten my dare yet, and it was giving me anxiety. Alice grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze, probably sensing I was nervous. But I had this. After all, it was just a dare.

After that class is over, I dare you to stay back and use your powers of manipulation on the teacher as much as you possibly can and ask him to meet you under the tree in the back at third period… but don't show up, Emmett responded.

I could not believe he had just done that! He's supposed to be a good big brother!

My phone was blowing up with texts from Edward. No! I refuse, was basically all he kept saying.

Even though I would resent Emmett for a long while, I sent I'll do it.

Alice looked at me concerned and said, "I'm sorry," but I could tell she was holding back laughter. I rolled my eyes at her and texted again. Why wait? Let's continue. Jazz, truth or dare?

Jasper texted me back, but before I could check my phone, Mr. C looked at me and Alice and said, "Ms. Hale, Ms. Cullen, you haven't participated yet. What would you two like to know?"

I would have blushed if I could, but I didn't of course, so I just shied away and mumbled, "Nothing."

Alice, on the other hand, squealed and chirped, "Do you like to shop?" like it was the most important thing you could ever ask a person.

"Yes, actually," he answered. Alice just nodded and went back to thinking, while Mr. C moved on to someone else.

Jasper answered truth, and we continued on with the game.

/Rosalie/

Sitting in math with Edward, Rose was continuously checking her phone, trying to keep her nails safe in the process.

"Why must we play truth or dare on the very first day at our new school?" Edward asked, looking at Rose in confusion. Their teacher was droning on about old subjects and not paying an ounce of attention to them.

See, the weirdest thing about this school was that you had classes combined with the grade above you and below you but they weren't mixed together. Rose wasn't sure how everyone learned what they needed or how they got schedules to work out, but it wasn't her problem.

"Probably because we have people in our family like Emmett and Alice," she answered, inspecting her fingers. Flipping her braid off of her shoulder, Rose turned back to her phone.

Jasper, what is your least favorite thing about Alice? Bella had just texted.

"Oo, looks like your girl's playing dirty today," Rose said to Edward. She talked a bit too loud though, and the teacher (what was her name again?) turned around.

"Is there something you would like to say, Ms. Hale?" she asked.

"No thank you," Rosalie said, putting on her most charming smile.

"Then I suggest you pay attention."

Rosalie chuckled. Like she needed to pay any attention. Her phone buzzed again and she checked to see Jasper's reply.

I'm sorry Alice, dear, but I really don't like your infatuation with shopping- when we go out that's all we do! It's cute but annoying at the same time… but I love you and it all the same.

Jazz, nicely worded, is all that Alice responded with.

Edward laughed at her response, having read it off of Rose's phone, and said, "When did Alice get so good at sarcasm?"

"Not sure. Maybe when Jacob started telling all those jokes about me, she caught on," Rosalie said bitterly.

Alice texted, truth or dare, Emmett? and Rose just laughed out loud.

/Jasper/

All the emotions flooding him was driving him absolutely nuts! Jasper could feel anger, anxiety, nervousness, intimidation, sadness, jealousy, and many more. All first day feelings, he knew, but it was turning him into an emotional roller coaster.

Jasper was sending out many calming waves, but it didn't seem to be helping a lot.

"Jasper! Did you see what Alice just dared me?" Emmett said, waking him from his stupor.

"What now, Emmett?" Jazz exasperated.

"I have to have a huge breakup scene with Rose and walk off with the first girl I see in the hallway! And she has to be my girlfriend for three whole days!" Emmett growled. He sounded like a child complaining about a broken toy.

"You'll be fine. Rose knows it's not real. Calm down," Jasper said.

Emmett growled again.

"Emmett…" Jasper warned. He knew Emmett to go on raging tantrums every once in a while, and he really didn't want it to happen here.

"Okay, okay… I'm calm," he said, and Jasper just rested off of his calmness for a while.

/Bella/

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We stopped playing truth or dare after Emmett's last one and agreed to resume tomorrow (not really). Teachers were practical, students were normal, and I have to say the worst part about my day was tricking Mr. C into meeting me under the tree at third period.

It was almost sad; all I had to do was smile at him and look under my lashes and he was gone. I felt bad for him and his wife- it wasn't fair. But from what I heard around the school was that he was late to third and he was in a very grumpy mood after that.

At lunch we just took to our own table, no one seemed to notice our lack of food, and we continued on to our next classes. I was already ready to go home to Renesmee, but I was surprised later by Angel, Luke's sister.

"Hey, Bella!" she said. Angel actually sounded sincere, which surprised me. She had the looks of someone more stuck up.

"Would you, Alice, and Rosalie want to come over after school tonight with a couple other gals of mine? You could stay the night too!" Angel said.

"Yeah, I'll ask them for you," I said. She said thanks as I walked off to find them.

I really did not want to go, but I knew Rose and Alice would make me, so there was no point. As I suspected, Alice said, "We're going, no buts. We can go home first though to get our stuff, and then you can say hi to Renesmee, okay?"

I agreed, grumpily, but I couldn't argue.

~A while later~

When we got home, I ran through the front door to give Renesmee a huge kiss.

"Hi, mommy!" she said. Placing her warm hand on my cheek, she showed me a vision of her day which I was happy to see was great.

"So you like school, honey?" I asked her sweetly.

"Yes! It is so fun."

"Okay, so listen my darling. Mommy, Aunt Alice, and Aunt Rose won't be back until tomorrow after school okay? We are staying the night at a friend's house. I love you," I said.

"That's okay, mommy. I can have fun with daddy all night long!" she replied. I chuckled.

I stood up out of my crouch and went with Alice and Rose to pack. It had been so long since I'd last had a sleepover, so I let them do all the work for me.

When they were finished, we got into my Ferrari and drove off to Angel's house.

I had a feeling this was going to be a long night.

Hey again! So what did you guys think about my comeback chapter? Was it bad? Was it good? Please drop in a couple reviews for me, I would love that!

I love you guys so much for making this story a possibility.

Peace,
