Seth's POV

Today we are starting school at Crystal Cove High. I'm really excited about starting school there. The reservation only has one school and it has elementary, middle and high school all at the same school just in different areas of the building. So I've never gone to another school before and I think it'll be interesting. I am currently waiting on my sister to give me a ride to school, where everyone is meeting for the bus ride to CCH.

"Leah, are you almost ready? I don't want to be late and miss the bus." I called out

"Relax, Seth, they wouldn't leave you behind, everyone loves you." Leah yelled from the bathroom, "But I'm ready to drop you off."

As she came down the stairs I got out a water and an apple for her to eat while she drives me to school. "Thanks, kid."

I let out a dramatic sigh at the nickname I was given but didn't say anything about it. As we were driving in the car, I looked out the window and could've sworn I saw fast little blurs of rusty red, and grey, and brown but before I could really examine it, Leah started to talk to me.

"So, are you nervous about your first day at a brand new school?"

"No, I mean I'll have all my friends there, and I'll know a lot of people from Forks and the Res. I just hope the preppy kids won't treat us differently because we aren't from their town and are just getting let into their school."

"There's no reason why they should treat you guys any differently, I mean it would have just been like if Forks kids needed a school for a little while, they could come to ours...well not all the students."

What did she mean 'not all the students', it made me wonder if my sister had a grudge with some Forks students. There's no reason that she should, she never leaves the res and as far as I know she doesn't associate with them when they come onto the res.

"What do you have against Forks students?" I asked her

She hesitated and her eyes widened, like she forgot she wasn't suppose to say something, like she slipped up but all she said was, "I just don't like Bella Swan and how she gives Jake false hope of ever getting together."

Since when is she friends with someone three years younger than her? I was gonna ask her more but we pulled up to the school and it didn't really seem that important.

"Thanks for the ride, Le. I'll text you during lunch and tell you about the campus and the people and the town." I told her and hopped out of the car.

I ran over to Brady and Collin, it was weird seeing all of us in uniform and looking very prep schoolish.

"Hey, man." Brady said, "Are you excited? I am, I've never been to the town and when I looked it up I only saw the people, there was no pictures of the surrounding areas. Like none of the town. So I really want to see what it looks like."

"That's weird, I wonder why there aren't any pictures."

Colin shrugged his shoulders, "Oh hey, the buses are here."

I turned around fully expecting yellow plain school buses; what I wasn't expecting were double decker luxury buses to be pulling into our school parking lot. I don't think I've seen more jaws drop at one time. I would've asked someone if these were our buses if "Crystal Cove High" wasn't written on the side of them.

Brady whispers to us, "This must be one loaded school."

One of the bus drivers got out of the bus and yelled. "Okay, if kindergarten through 6th grade could please get in the first two buses, the top level of the second bus is for grades 7-8, and then the final two buses are for grades 9-12. And then of course all the teachers for the designated grades go to where they were assigned."

All three of us hurried to be able to sit on the top row of one of our busses. It was mesmerizing. The seats were all leather and they even had footrests, trays, and arm rests for each seat. I thought the ride would have been longer but it flew by because everyone was looking out the windows because we all realized how ignoring this one little road near the cross section to go into Forks, all of our lives, lead onto a road to get to a town none of us knew was so close to the res. 15 minutes into the drive we stopped because we reached a gate that looked like it went on for miles and miles.

Once the Gates opened, we could see into the infamous town that we would now be going to five days a week. As cheesy as it sounds, it was like we entered a land full of sunshine, it was so sunny and warm once we went through the gates. The town was gorgeous. The first thing you see are trails right next to the road and people riding horses. Then you see rivers, man made lakes, neighborhoods. The houses, or mansions I should say, were all different styles, like they were made for that particular family. We got into the town and we saw little shops and grocery stores, restaurants, a movie theater. There was this big fountain in the middle of the town center. In the middle of the town was the high school.

As we pulled up the long stone driveway. Right by us were people on the trails, in school uniforms riding on horses.

"Is this how people get to school in this town? On horses." Collin asked

We pulled up the school and the buses stopped and we all started to pile out of them. I saw Jake, Quil and Embry in the middle of the big huddle of La Push students. I nodded to Collin and Brady so we could all move closer to them.

"Hey, Jake, Quil, Embry." I said as I approached the three of them.

"Hey, Seth." They replied in unison. It was weird how they sort of all started talking together, it was like they knew each other's thoughts. I know they have all always been close but it seems like something has brought them even closer than they were before. And I didn't even think that was possible. I must be going crazy. Well, crazier than I already am.

"Can you believe the size of this place? Did you see that they have their own movie theatre? I mean we've been driving a hour and a half away to see a movie our whole lives and there has been one fifteen minutes away." Quil said

"That's because Crystal Cove is a gated community. Only the people of the town can enter it and use the luxuries it provides." A girl, who was definitely not a Quileute, said as she worked her way through the crowd.

"Oh so people like us aren't good enough to pass through your lands?" Paul said, with Jared and Kim in tow, as he pushed some people out of the way to get into the conversation.

The mystery girl looked Paul up and down and said, "Well, considering you're on 'our lands' right now, I guess we can safely assume that was not the reason. Crystal Cove is a private community, the majority of families who live here, are the descendants of the ones who moved here over 400 years ago. The founding families built this town from nothing and then they opened their gates to people who were being accused of witchcraft. The ones who were being hunted down and dragged to the Salem Witch trials. The founding families actually broke hundreds of people out from the holding cells. Where, had they of stayed in, would have been burned at the stake. Or maybe be tied to a totem pole and made to have drown. So, during those times privacy and the safety of the residents was the founding family's top priority. Sorry they did not have time to chit chat with the neighboring native american tribe." She stopped her rant long enough to glare at Paul. When he did not respond, she stepped up onto a table and continued. "Now that that's out of the way, our faculty has created a list of every student's new schedule. The K-8 schools will all be taken to the Zakarina Hall and the high school students will be placed throughout the rest of the school. Crystal Cove High has sent more kids to the Ivy leagues than any other school in the nation. So if you try at this school, you will succeed. You will all receive a key card from your guidance teacher. The key card will give you access into the community, as well as to your own locker. You will also need to give your fingerprint because that is the only other thing you need to enter the community. We have this extra screen of protection because like it was 400 years ago, Crystal Cove's main priority is the security and privacy of their residents. And we do not want to risk your card getting into the wrong hands and a crazy person having access inside the community. There is a coffee bar inside the main hall, and if you make a left at the second door of the main hall,you will enter the food court, if your make a right at the first door, you will enter the library. At the very end of the hall, is the main office. There are over 20 bathrooms throughout the school. Each of you will also get your own tablet in your first period. It will have the ability to download all the books you will need onto it, you just need to ask your teacher and they will give you the permission to gain access to that particular book. It will also have access to the web, you will be able to contact other student as well as your teachers. You can also download music, video, apps on it. But the teachers ask that during their class, you only use it for school purposes. I believe that is all you need to know for know. Thank you, and have a great first day at Crystal Cove High." As soon as she was done, she jumped of the table and left with a group of other students. I didn't even notice, that while she was speaking, the Forks students had arrived. I should have realized sooner because I felt a bunch of the guys around me tense up at the beginning of her speech. I wonder what that was about.

I turned to the group of guys,"Come on Brady, Collin, let's go get our schedules. We'll meet up with you guys later." I said to the rest of the guys.

"Dude, why were all of them so tense?" Brady asked

"I don't know, but I thought we should get out of there before something happened. Wouldn't want to get in trouble our first day." I responded.
