Italics and bold are Kyle's thoughts

Despite how the other students stared at them yesterday, Kyle woke up the next morning for school with the same enthusiasm that he had yesterday. As always he entered the kitchen to greet everyone, and Esme gave him a kiss. Then he moved from Esme to give Carlisle a hug. Carlisle and Esme heard all about Kyle's first day of school from their other children. Carlisle only wanted to know about the academics of Kyle's day. He still kept in his thoughts the results of Kyle's scans from when he had his seizure. Thankfully there were no more of these incidents at school. According to the children, Kyle excelled in all his classes. Edward mentioned overhearing a few of his teachers saying that he could get the answer to an equation in less than half the time of the other student, and that if Kyle keeps progressing then he needs to be moved to senior and college courses. Normally the family tried not to stick out too much. Of course all of them get good grades, but not so much that the teachers noticed their potential on the first day. Since this was Kyle's first time at school they didn't want to stifle his academic success and would leave him alone about it this time.

As Kyle ate his breakfast, everyone knew that there was some bad news that they needed to tell Kyle. Rosalie was the one who had to tell him.

"Honey."

"yeah." Kyle answered looking up from his plate, but still eating his bacon.

"We can't go to school today." "Huh…why?" Kyle made the face of a disappointed puppy.

"It's going to be sunny today. Everyone except you has to stay home or our skin will reflect."

"Oh… so I'm going alone." Comprehension coming to him.

"Yes. Unless you don't want to go." She was hoping that he would want to stay. Kyle thought to himself on what he should do. He loved school, but didn't know if he could go by himself.

"Okay."

"Okay what?"

"I can go."

Carlisle drove Kyle to school twenty minutes later. "Do you have your schedule?" Carlisle knew he did, it was mostly out of him being nervous that he asked. "And your locker combination, and any papers you need to take in."

"Yes." Kyle answered his nervous expression on his face.

"Then you'll be fine. Carlisle cheered up. "Just go to your classes like you did yesterday and you're fine." 'This is ridiculous. I'm acting as if I'm talking to a five year old. He's sixteen. A sixteen year old who's never gone to school. Or interacted with others without one of us.' These thoughts weren't helping.

As they pulled into the school parking lot Carlisle turned to give Kyle an encouraging smile,

"Love you son."

"Love you too grandpa." Kyle smiled back nervously. "You're going to be the one to pick me up right?"

"No. Esme or one of the kids are going to, I've got to go into the hospital today." Kyle's face fell for a moment. "Just call or text one of us if you have any questions or want to talk."

"I will." He answered as he got out of the car and headed into the school.

Kyle POV

At first, I walked down the school hallway to homeroom, only to remember that was only for Mondays. Then redirected myself to first period. Again I was the first to arrive in the class. The only difference was that I had Alice and jasper until class started. I wasn't sure what to do with myself. It was then I realized how alone I family were the only ones I knew. School hasn't even started yet, and I missed my family. I wanted the day to be over.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No POV

"Something's wrong!" Rosalie thought out loud. She has been thinking this every five minutes since Kyle left this morning, and it was Driving Edward Crazy.

"Rosalie." Edward started in a calm voice. Really he wanted to scream at her. "Alice has checked on Kyle almost all day. Almost as often as you keep thinking about him. He's fine. Everything happens the same way that it did yesterday." Emmett came down the stairs and perched himself on the couch with Rosalie.

"He'll be fine. You know how smart Kyle is." He grabbed Rosalie and pulled her to lay on top of his chest as he turned on the TV. "He knows what to do. What he can and cannot say. Now just relax." Emmett was kidding himself if he thought that was enough to calm her down.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kyle so far has made it through most of the day without any problems. He walked through the halls with fewer people staring at him without his family with him. That made it easier to stay out of the other students' way. The only problem that came was when Kyle went to lunch. The table they had yesterday was already taken. He found a table in the center of the cafeteria. On his way to it he was tapped on the arm. Sitting where his arm was tapped was Angela at her table and some friends of hers. Kyle smiled instantly at her.

"Hey Kyle. You want to sit with us?" She asked hopefully.

"Sure." Kyle was never so happy to see her. The seats next to her were taken so he had to sit across from her.

"Everybody this is Kyle." Angela introduced him, and then pointed out each of her friends. "This is Eric, Mike, Jessica; you've already met, and Tyler."

"Hello." Kyle said to the table, and they greeted back.

Kyle's POV

"So where your family today?" Jessica asks. Before I left this morning, Alice whispered to me to watch out for Jessica. She would ask things that were none of her business.

"They have food poisoning." They all looked sympathetic.

"Oh that's the worst." Mike cringed. I had never been sick before, so i didnt know how to comment.

"How did you not get sick?" Angela asked.

"It was from a turkey mom made." Kyle remembered the answer for this one. "I don't like turkey so I didn't get sick."

"Lucky you." She smiled.

"So are you with any of them?" Jessica asked again. She tried to look simply curious, but there were many questions she was dying to know the answers to.

"Huh?"

"Nothing." Angela cut in quickly, trying to stop Jessica.

"Everyone in your family is dating one of the other aren't they?"

"Jessica!" Angela and Tyler said. Mike and Eric looked at Kyle hoping for an answer. I started to feel my heart beat a little faster than normal in my chest.

"Yah and no. I'm not paired with any of them."

"But you're all related." Mike added with a small look of disgust. "How can they date?" that was the only sentence I've heard him say and I already wanted him to stop talking. I had already been hoping Jessica would.

"We're all adopted." 'Why does Angela hang around these people?'

"How does that work with all of you living in the same house?" Jessica this time.

"Okay let's talk about something else." Tyler butted in "…Angela said that you're good at basketball."

"Oh yeah." Eric added in "I saw it in gym class yesterday. How were you able to make all of those shots? You even did some backwards."

"Its basic physics and geometry. "I answered as I tried to eat fast and leave, that last question i didn't think counted as being nosy, but these people ask too many questions. My phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a text from Alice telling me Esme is in the front office about to pull him out of school early. I texted her back that I'll be right there. "I have to go." I told them. I've never been happier to leave anywhere. "My mom's in the front office."

"Oh really." Angela said looking disappointed. "Are you going to be in gym class?"

"No, I think she's taking me home." I stood from the table "See you tomorrow." As I walked away I heard them whispering,

"Why did you guys ask him all that stuff?" Angela asked annoyed at her tactless friends. "It was completely too personal."

"What, it's weird that they're all dating each other." I heard Jessica speak. Anything after that was out of my hearing range. Though at the time Angela was speaking loud enough that the surrounding tables could hear her.

I stopped at my locker to get the things I would need for my homework. Then quickly made a run for the main office. When i saw Esme waiting for me at the office doors, I ran straight to her.

"Oh I missed you." Esme smiled and hugged me.

"Missed you too Grandma."

"I missed you more. Rosalie has been driving us crazy." Hmm… is that worse than an embarrassing and annoying conversation with Jessica.

"Okay you win." Kyle laughed as they made their way out the school. Kyle stopped at the top of the stairs suddenly. Something felt strange. Kyle looked around, but couldn't pinpoint what he was looking for.

"What is it Kyle?" Esme asked cautiously. "Do you see someone?" after a few more looks around the parking lot he answered,

"No. it was just a weird feeling I had." Kyle let it go and continued on to the car. Kyle couldn't wait to get away.

Unknown Persons POV

From inside a car in the school parking lot, behind a tree, two men sat and watched as their target walked from the school. They watched as Kyle stopped suddenly on the stairs and looked around. After a few seconds he continued toward the car. After he and his mother drove off they planned their next action.

"Should we follow them?" The driver said.

"No. They're already suspicious from the carnival. He just sensed us he'll know that we're following him. We'll try another day." Answered a woman in the passenger seat. "We should have grabbed this morning when he was alone."

"Don't worry, we'll get another chance."
