A/N: Hopefully not too OOC…I tried. Lame title, I know.

We'd been through it all before: The stares, the whispering, the lust, the jealousy, and it bothered me still. It would be even worse for Jasper, who was quivering beside me. Alice whispered to him quietly. The excitement of starting a new school had worn off too long ago, and now it was just an alternate entrance to Hell. Subjects I'd already learned; teachers I could replace, and minds that all thought the same thing. My control was wavering and I was quickly growing impatient. Irritated that it should be this way, I strolled through the doors of Forks High School, scowling. Once in the office, we wasted no time peeling off our raincoats. Shopping diva or not, even Alice had had trouble finding ones that looked at least passably appealing. I began to think wistfully of the time we had spent in Alaska.
The room was roughly square, carpeted, and a large board pinned with notices entirely covered one wall. I approached the main desk. A woman in a grey flannel t-shirt was typing at a computer, and she looked up wearily when she saw us, then did a double-take.
Rosalie, being Rosalie, was wearing a tight halter-top and mini skirt. Alice sported a simple pale lavender sweater. Jasper, Emmett and I wore turtlenecks and jeans. We tried to be inconspicuous, but judging by the secretary's thoughts, we were far from it.
After recovering, she gave us a rather too-friendly smile, "You must be the Cullens. Welcome to Forks." She reached into a folder and drew out five slightly-wrinkled schedules. "Here you go," Wow they are- no, I can't be thinking that! But the boys…Jennifer! You are married!
Alice took them from her with a cheery smile. We excited the office, ducked under a tree, and she handed them around.
Rosalie snatched hers, scanning it. "We have to take gym?" she asked, disgusted. She glared at the piece of paper.
"Come on, Rose, it'll be fun!" Emmett winked at her, "I'm in your class,"
"Hmmm," she muttered, tucking it away.
I looked at my schedule. English was my home form. "Anyone have English first?"
"I do!" Alice piped up. She came over to compare. "Oh! We have three minutes…we'd better hurry. Let's go Edward!" She danced off towards building four.
I shoved the schedule in my backpack and followed, though not quite sharing her enthusiasm. It would be a long day.
