"I'll tell you when we get into class and please...call me Nessie." Nessie said as she continued to pull me along. At that moment I realized it might go a bit faster if I started walked as well. I started to move my legs, walking at her pace, and would you look at that. We got to class way faster then we both expected. For someone so short, she walks like a speed demon. I wondered if she ran cross-country.
"Welcome to class." She said, a little bit sarcastically. Her voice, once again, took me out of my own thoughts. I looked around my surroundings, of course no one was here yet, the second bell didn't even ring. The only people that were here were Nessie, the teacher (who I didn't know and wasn't paying attention too), and myself. We were still at the front door, to signal her to at least enter the class room, I pushed forward a bit. I think she got the idea because she took me to, what I hoped, to be her desk.
"You Miss, are lucky I don't have a partner...for any of my classes actually." I did a little fist pump in my mind, I actually would have a 'friend' to sit next to. Being the new kid in school is something I always hated. For my Dad's line of work we would always have to move. We moved from Washington State to Colorado, from Colorado to New York. From New York, to Mississippi. Then, by myself, I moved from Mississippi back to here, Washington State. It was weird, yes, but that's what had to be done to pay the bills, or that's what my dad told me at least.
Nessie took her seat, the one closest to the window, then put her bag on the back of her chair. I copied her, but with the seat closest to the aisle, doing the same with my book-bag. I turned my body, opening my bag to grab a couple of pencils and a notebook, getting ready for this class. I think it was Calc...but who knew.
"Okay, now tell me about your family." I said, turning my attention fully onto her, we had about 10 good minutes before the second bell rang, letting students know they had 5 minutes to get to class. She looked at me, her thinking face shining brighter then a diamond.
"Well, they're all my cousins. My parents died in a car accident and my Aunt and Uncle took me in as their own. So really...they're my siblings but I am so used to calling them my cousins." I nodded as she continued her story. That's really sad that her parents died. Just thinking about my dad dying almost brought tears to my eyes. I don't think I could survive without him in my world, he was literally my rock. That brought me to another thought...what if my mother died, would I cry, would I weep, would I shed one little tear. To be honest, I had no idea. Thinking about her dying did nothing for me, I never got to know her, she was a mystery to me. I got out of my own thoughts and put my attention, once again, onto Nessie.
"My Aunt and Uncle could never have kids of their own anyway, so they adopted all of my cousins. So, none of use are actually related-related, well except the twins, Jasper and Rosalie. Jasper go held back a grade though, so he is in our grade. While Rosalie and Emmett are seniors. That leaves Alice, Jasper, Da...I mean Edward, and Bella. All of them are in our grade. They are also couples...well Jasper and Alice are and so are Edward and Bella. Emmett and Rosalie are the only single people in our house." She took a big breath after that. I was surprised she said that all in one go, I swear she's a magician. But then it hit me...Emmett was single. My whole face turned pink at the thought of him. He was so handsome, like literally, I don't think I have ever seen a more handsome specimen, in my whole entire life.
"Wow, your family's huge." I said, trying to participate in our conversation, and to also get my mind off of that hunk-of-man. She nodded, pulling out her notebook and pencil from her bag. Just then the second bell rang and more students started to flood in. Most eyes were on me, I could hear some of the whispering. Of course there was going to be whispering...why wouldn't there be whispering, about the new girl.
As more students started to flood in I noticed one in particular. She was short, like very short, shorter then Nessie. Her eyes, if I wasn't mistaken, looked EXACTLY like Emmett's. Maybe she's one of his sisters, they must all wear the same contacts. Her hair, onyx as well as pixie like. She looked like a pixie, a very pale pixie. Her outfit was 100% adorable. She started walking straight for our table, I quickly averted my eyes to my notebook. Not wanted to get caught staring, again.
"Hi little munchkin, who's your new friend." I quickly looked up, meeting the eyes of another stranger. She was absolutely stunning, she reminded me of the old time pinup girls, or the Rocka-Fella kick girls in New York. Yeah, she could defiantly be one of them.
"This is Raven, Raven this is another one of my cousins, Alice." Alice reached her hand down, wanting a hand-shake. I reached up and grabbed her hand lightly, shaking without a problem. Her eyes came together, her brows forming a straight line. She looked confused, so then I was worried. Did I do something wrong. I slowly took my hand away, keeping a smile on my face.
"It's nice to meet you, Alice." I said with sincerity in my voice, hoping I didn't offend her in anyway.
"You as well." She said, smiling lightly, which didn't meet her eyes. This family smiles like that a lot. She turned her head toward Nessie, giving her a little nod and took a seat directly behind me. Well that was a weird first impression. Just as I was about to say something to Nessie, the teacher decided to talk.
"Hello Class, good morning. Today we will be learning about..." After that I totally ignored the lecture. I learned all of this in my old school anyway. Wanted to be a Math Teacher myself, you learn a thing or two about Calculus. I turned my attention back on the teacher to see him writing equations on the board. I quickly opened my notebook and copied them, already writing the answer as he was teaching the class how to solve it. I am glad at least one class will be easy for me, now French...that was going to be a bit harder.
I was so into my own thoughts, that I didn't heard Nessie calling my name until she nudged me.
"Oh sorry, what's up." I looked over to her, quietly tapping my pencil onto notebook.
"You didn't tell me you were goo at Math." I scuffed at her, tapping the eraser of the pencil onto my head.
"If I would tell you all my secrets, I'd have to kill you." She laughed quietly, turning her focus back onto the teacher. I continued writing the equations off of the board, and answers them as he wrote them. The were simple equations that most people should know, but I'm not one to judge. As class continued, I felt something...or someone watching me. Like their eyes were boarding in the back of my skull. I didn't want to be a freak and start looking around the room...you know...like a crazy person. So, I just turned around to act like I was grabbing something out of my bad, and to me surprise, my eyes came in contact with those golden ones, once again. I quickly gave Alice a smile, and turned back around, a bit freaked out that she was watching me. To be honest, I didn't turn back around that whole class period.
