AN: Oh my god guys. I am SO sorry I haven't updated, like not even funny how sorry i am. Please forgive me!-looks at reviewers with puppy dogs eyes-. Hopefully I can make it up to you by this really long next chapter. School has been psycho lately and swim starts next week AND the play that I'm in comes out the week after that. It's going to be hectic for a while, but I will make updating more frequent. I promise.

That next week after Alex arrived I thought that it was very possible that I would go insane. I saw him constantly and it seemed as if every corner I turned he was there. Just standing there, or talking to someone, but always making direct eye contact with me. The worst part was that it seemed as though no one cared. The girls in the house dismissed it quickly and the boys told me I was being ridiculous. I suppose in a way I was.

School started in less than a week, and of course Alex insisted on going with us this year. He insisted that his control was enough to handle school just at the time being, and that he wouldn't do anything. He had also decided that since I was the only Cullen in the sophomore class, that he would accompany me. They were going to lie and say that he had stayed back a year, the same with me, since we didn't exactly look like sophomores. We had to go pick up our schedules and take our ID pictures today. I smiled as I pulled on the navy blue t-shirt on. This was going to be fun. I only had one memory of ID pictures and that had been at my old school where I had been afraid and very much alone as a freshmen. This year I hoped would be better, and with everyone else going, I think that it will.

"Dani! Were going to be late! Enough primping. You look fine." Edward's voice came from downstairs.

"Just fine?" I answered, listening for his growl. When he did I grinned, "Just kidding." I said as I ran down the stairs. Everyone seemed ot be waiting for me. Alex was talking animatedly with Emmett, probably planning something, Rosalie and Alice were sitting on the couch, lounging and Edward and jasper stood at the bottom of the stairs, Edward looking particularly impatient. I grinned at him and the annoyance seemed to wash away slightly.

"Got everything?" he asked,

"Yup!" I reconsidered, realizing that my Ipod wasn't in my pocket. "No! Wait!" I muttered, trying to figure out where it had gone. I spotted it on the table beside the door and was about to race toward it, but watched as it flew across the room and landed into my hand. Everyone's head turned to Alex who stared astonished at me, hands in the air. I looked down at my Ipod and sighed.

"Seriously?" I groaned.

"How did you do that?' Alex asked.

"Can you move things with your head?" I asked him.

"Yeah. I've never met anyone who could do it too." He moved closer to me.

"Yeah, well, I probably got it from you then. See, I can read minds like Edward and see the future like Alice, and control emotions like Jasper. Now I can move things with my mind." I considered that for a moment, "Which admittedly is pretty cool. I guess." I muttered grudgingly.

"Oh c'mon its not that bad. You can pick up stuff, and don't have to get up from wherever you are. Not to mention throwing stuff at people." Alex explained as we headed out to the car. I looked up at him mischievously, thinking of the possibilities. Edward chuckled quietly.

"Should I be afraid of the face she's making right now?" Alex asked.

"Yes." Edward answered, "Bad move Alex." I grinned at Edward as I settled in the back of the car.

"Don't worry. She still has to master it Alex, so it should take her, what a day or two?" Bella looked to Edward as he pulled out of the driveway.

"Are you kidding me? You saw how she made that Ipod fly straight to her hand. It won't take her that long." We all laughed and headed down the road to the High School.

oooo0000oooo

The high school was startlingly large, considering the remoteness of the area, but apparently it was a school for all the surrounding towns. Or maybe it had just been the memory of my old high school (which had a graduating class of 100 students the year I was changed) that had stuck in my head, and was how I had imagined our new school. The building looked brand new and seemed to branch off everywhere. Students filled the hallways, and people were catching up from over the summer, comparing new bodies, hairstyles and fashion. It seemed like the first day of school to me, but with less people, and with everyone still in there summer clothes. I looked around the hallways, searching for wherever the pictures were supposed to take place. Finally finding the cafeteria we took our pictures and stayed in a close knit group. I leaned toward Jasper quietly while we were in line for schedules.

"Are we always this close together?" I asked. Jasper smiled.

"Usually. Why?"

"No reason. I mean I love you guys and everything, but I would like to meet other people. Or is dating prohibited?" I asked. I wanted to date so badly, and I hadn't been kissed in what felt like forever. When you live in a house full of hormonal teenage vampires you kind of can't avoid the whole kissing thing.

"You can. It's not recommended, but sure. As long as you can keep it under control." Jasper winked at me and I grinned.

"I wouldn't worry about that. I can handle myself." I said my name and received my schedule, determined to find all of my classes before school started so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

"I'm gonna go look for my classes. I'll come back here when I'm done, okay." Everyone nodded. They had decided to lounge in the cafeteria for a while, looking like they had just stepped out of a magazine. I had never fully noticed how gorgeous they all were before I saw all these humans. They must have looked incredibly intimidating. I marched off to my first floor which was on the second floor, room C-207. It was English, thankfully one of my best subjects. I found the room easy enough, but the next room number was a mystery. V7A? Where the hell was that? Was there a V-wing somewhere around here. I noticed another boy around my classroom, schedule in hand. He looked as though he knew where he was going. Not to mention he was actually pretty cute. The all-American blue eyes, blond hair look suited him. I shyly walked up to him and cleared my voice. He turned and looked at me, awe covering his strong face for a moment. Thankfully he recovered quickly and grinned at me.

"Hey." he murmured.

"Hi," I answered. "Um, I'm new here, do you know where V7A is?" I asked.

"Yeah." he glanced down at his own schedule and smiled. "Actually I was headed down there next. Why don't I show you." he answered.

"Sure." I smiled up at him, "Lead the way." I gestured in front of me.

"Actually, it this way," he pointed in the opposite direction and smiled, "but I get the point. I'm Zack by the way." we started walking towards the staircase at the end of the hallway.

"I'm Danica. But everyone calls me Dani."

"Dani. That's a cool name."

"Thanks." He led me down the long staircase.

"You a freshman?" he asked.

"No, sophomore. I just moved here with my family a month ago."

"Cool! I'm a sophomore too. Is your family coming to LHS too?" he asked.

"Yeah, my brothers Edward and Emmett are seniors and my sister Alice is a junior." We had gone over this story a million times. "We're all adopted, there's eight of us in all. Bella and Rosalie are sisters and seniors and Jasper and Alex are brothers, but Alex is a sophomore like me and Jasper's a junior." Zack seemed a little awed at my explanation of my family.

"That sounds complicated." he answered, unsure what to say. I laughed.

"It is." He didn't know the half of it. We finally reached the room, and found the table filled with computer's.

"Computer class?" I asked, but looked at the class name on my schedule. Think-Read Strategy. How would computers help me read?

"No, Think-Read. All sophomores are required to take it. My brother said it was pretty fun so I really hope he wasn't lying." I laughed as we headed back up the stairs.

"I'm really relieved I know someone other than Alex in my grade. Alex has no idea where he's going usually." I explained, catching sight of him when we reached the hallway leading to the cafeteria. He came toward me, his expression blank, but with a trace anger marring it. He came up to me and smiled swinging me up into his arms, and hugging me close. I could smell him and instinctively wrapped my arms around him. He set me down, and I looked toward Zack to see him looking angry and slightly pouty.

"Hello. I'm Alex, Dani's boyfriend. Thanks for taking such good care of her. She's always running off." he kept an arm wrapped around me and I let mine drop. Boyfriend? Excuse me? Thoughts of ways to break that arm around me rose in my mind, but none of them seemed to be fit enough to do in front of other people, not to mention students. I could feel Zack's anger, and unfortunately hear his thoughts, which I had refused to listen to before. I can't believe she has a boyfriend. Damn it! I thought she was available, now this stupid jerk is all over her. I bet she- I snapped out of his head. I didn't want to hear anymore. I guess that I had probably ruined my chances with Zack.

"Well, we must be on our way then. Got to get home." Alex was already walking away, pulling me with him. I just had time to wave to Zack before Alex pulled me around a corner. I pushed him away from me.

"Boyfriend? What the hell Alex?" I yelled, catching the attention of everyone around us. Alex shushed me and kept walking. He seemed slightly irritated by something.

"You shouldn't have done that! Why did you do that?" I asked, still furious, but lowering my voice.

"Because, it's too dangerous for you to date. You could get all go-go eyed and tell someone our secret. Especially that idiot." he muter under his breath.

"Zack is not an idiot. You don't control me Alex! I'm allowed to date." I marched up to the table, mad as hell and about to burst. If I didn't get away from Alex soon I would make a scene, and not just any scene. A big -everyone look some chick's blown her lid- scene. Before we got to the table Jasper and Edward were already getting up, fully aware how pissed I was.

"We need to go. Now!" I said through my teeth, fists clenched.

"Alex, what did you do now?" Rosalie asked.

"Me? I did nothing. Just stopping some little pervert from sticking his tongue down Dani's throat." We were outside by now, and could speak a little freer. Edward, Emmett and Jasper turned toward me looking slightly angry, and Jasper raised an eyebrow.

"Alex is full or crap. We were not even close to kissing. Though we might have been if my boyfriend hadn't showed up!" I yelled.

"Boyfriend?" Alice looked up, excited.

"Him! That incomparable idiot standing next to you! I pointed a finger at Alex angrily and he glared back. "That idiot comes up to me and Zack saying that he's my boyfriend!" I paused, trying to stop myself from going insane, " I'm so angry I could scream!"

"Oh you know it wasn't that bad. Your overreacting." Alex answered, "It wouldn't be that bad to have me as a boyfriend would it?" he smiled, but I could see the anger still in his eyes. I marched up to him.

"I would rather cut off my own arm and eat it." I muttered in the most threatening voice possible. "You touch me again, and you won't have any arms to use." I stalked off towards Emmett's jeep and hoped I had stunned him enough. I was so pissed words couldn't explain it. The worst part was I wasn't all mad at him, I was more mad at myself for the way I felt when he wrapped his arms around me.

(APOV)

I sighed as I walked to the car. I couldn't fathom why I was so pissed when I saw her talking to that stupid boy. She could have her own life if she chose. I had no reason to get mad. I also didn't know why it had been so nice to pick her up in my arms. Dani was stubborn, untrusting and downright mean at times. Then why did I find myself so drawn to her? I shook my head slowly. Some how I had the feeling I was in for a long ride.
