BenPOV

I stood still for a moment before I played through what just happened in my head. I was reeling from the information I had just heard, and honestly, a little bit hurt. I had always hoped that she still thought us to be her friends, but it was clear that she had gotten over it a long time ago.

I decided to go apologise to her for listening in on her private conversation. I knew her door would probably be locked as always, but it wouldn't hurt to try. I knocked a few times, but when I got no answer, I started to worry. I tried the knob and surprisingly, the door opened. I looked around her room in awe for a second before a blur of black and dark green caught my eye. I looked over to the window and what I saw scared me.

Raina was hanging out of the window, ready to jump. I couldn't believe it, she was going to end her life? I ran over and pulled her away quickly and cradled her in my lap before she had the chance to jump out. She squeaked before looking up at me. I saw her surprise flicker to annoyance, then finally resting on confusion.

''Ben? What are you doing here?'' She was so confused and I almost got lost in the innocent look on her face before I remembered what she had just attempted to do.

''What am I doing here? I came to apologise but I saw you trying to jump out a window! Are you trying to kill yourself?'' I ranted. I was going to continue but something stopped me. I looked down and saw Raina smothering a smile.

I was confused, but I hadn't seen that smile in so long, I couldn't ignore it. She started giggling at me before peals of bell like laughter rang out. I looked down at her, shocked. I sat there, waiting for her to calm down.

''Are you done laughing yet? I honestly don't see what's so amusing about this situation.'' I was impatient and worried, and all she could do was laugh? I wondered after her mental stability. Was she okay?

''Sorry. It's just that, you thought I was going to kill myself?'' She paused to snicker before she sobered up. ''Why would you think that?''

''You were about to jump out of a window on the fourth floor, you've been so cold and distant for years now, you just had an upsetting conversation conversation with your parents- which I am sorry for listening into by the way- what else am I supposed to think?'' I whispered.

She sat up and grabbed one of my hands. I relished in the feeling of her touch for a moment, waiting to hear her response.

''I wasn't going to end my life, Ben. I know you won't be able to understand, so let's just say that a jump like that wouldn't even leave a scratch on me.'' she soothed my fears and smiled at me. ''Thanks for the concern, but you don't need to worry about me, Ben.''

She stood up, bringing me with her. She let go of my hands before jumping out the window as if this conversation hadn't just happened. I would honestly never understand this girl, but maybe I could try. She seemed to open up a little today, hopefully she'll open up more soon.

I peered out the window and saw a flash of colour dance across my vision before it was gone.

RainaPOV

I left him behind in my room and ran through the forest at a speed that could almost rival Edward's. I laughed and spun as I ran my way to our spot. I always came here to calm down after a hunt or to get in the mindset before one. I centered myself and ran off when I heard a group of elk running by.

I shot out like a bullet after them, relishing in the adrenaline rush from the chase. The wind whipped past me at blinding speeds and I pounced onto an elk, sucking it dry in a minute flat. I guess I was really thirsty.

I managed to take another two down. I drank from their jugulars greedily. After I was completely satisfied, I ran back to my house and walked through the front door.

''I'm back!'' I yelled out. I heard a few muffled greetings before I walked up to my room.

I quickly showered and changed out of my hunting clothes, into a pair of sweats and his t-shirt. I grabbed my laptop and lay in my king sized bed. I nestled into the covers as I checked my inbox. One email in particular caught my eye. It was sent around a week and a half ago. I checked the sender and almost squealed.

Alice Cullen

I quickly read the email, catching up on their life. I was confused by the last part,

Don't mope around, Raina. I know you hate surprises but you'll be getting one soon, and I know you'll love it!

Love, Alice

I smiled at Alice's hint at her premonitions, before I pondered over the parting sentences. What could they possibly give me that would make me that happy? I quickly wrote out a response, apologising for taking so long and updating her about the situation over here. I hit send and quickly put my laptop away.

I got into bed and succumbed to sleep almost immediately. Today was another day, tomorrow would be as well.

I woke up in a surprisingly good mood. I got ready for school, eager to get there for some reason I couldn't explain. I smiled at everyone as I walked into the kitchen and I grabbed my water bottle. I drank half to appease my parents and left.

During the walk to school I tried to check the future for what would happen today but I was coming up blank, as if someone was purposefully blocking me. I tried to brush away the anxious feeling, maybe there would be absolutely nothing happening today. I knew it was a lame excuse but I didn't want to stress over it.

I reveled in the almost euphoric feeling and floated into my first class.I was headed to my usual seat in the back when I noticed a girl sitting off to the corner by herself. Now this was unusual, although there were people like me that weren't too social, everyone here had at least one seemed as though this girl didn't. In a sudden burst of confidence I walked over and sat next to her.

She looked up, obviously surprised to see someone sit by her. I decided it wouldn't hurt to talk to her a little bit.

''Hi. I'm Raina, are you new here?'' I greeted politely.

''Yeah, I am. Although, I'm not with the other new kids. Everyone thinks that I'm with them. I'm Deena, nice to meet you. ''

Other new kids? I seriously missed out on a lot, everyone must have been gossiping about this for a while. New kids were a rarity at our school.

''Nice to meet you too, Deena. I'm sure you'll love it here. What other classes do you have?''

We exchanged schedules and were disappointed to find we only had this class together. We chatted throughout the rest of the class and I found out we had a lot in common. She loved the classics and enjoyed the same music I did.

She seemed to understand that we wouldn't become the best of friends and I knew she would find some other group that would accept her fully. At least we had this one class, I knew I could handle this much social interaction with other people. We parted ways and headed off to our separate classes.

I barely paid attention in class, overwhelmed by anxiety over my lack of visions. The teacher tried to talk to me about it but I brushed her off quickly. No need to tell her that I couldn't pay attention because I couldn't see the future like I usually did.

I started wondering about the new kids Deena had mentioned. I had sensed something different at school but I had all but forgotten it after talking to Deena. She had said kids so that probably meant there were multiple. I wondered if they were the reason I couldn't see anything today. That meant they could be a threat to me and my family. I started getting even more anxious and could feel a panic attack coming on.

I excused myself to the bathroom and tried to calm myself but it was no use. I cried myself through another panic attack. I choked and sputtered before walking over to the bathroom sink and freshening up. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and felt weak. I had puffy eyes and I looked so fragile.

I shook off the weakness and squared my shoulders. If these new people really were a threat, I had to put up a strong front, I couldn't let them know how they got to me. I walked out of the bathroom with my head held high and weaved my way through the crowd towards my locker. I dropped my homework into the rusty piece of metal before locking it and heading off to the cafeteria. It was too rainy today and I really didn't feel like wetting my clothes on the damp grass.

I walked in and everyone looked at me before quickly going back to their previous tasks. I pulled my phone out and made my way over to a table at the corner of the room. I scrolled through my texts and replied to them quickly.

I went to go sit in my usual seat when I bumped into something, or rather, someone. The cafeteria went silent for a moment before the whispers started. I looked up from my phone and gasped at who I saw.
