Disclaimer: These characters aren't mine. I didn't create them. I'm just writing about them.

A/N: This is the third chapter. I'm hoping it's received well…I figured Edward need to have a say in things. He'll get quite a few more chapters in the near future, too, I think. Anyway, please review and let me know if you want more! I do this for you guys.

I was happy to discover that it was raining in the morning. We hadn't been able to go to school the previous morning because it was just too sunny. But with this weather, there shouldn't be a problem.

After dressing in jeans and a long-sleeved white T-shirt, I made my way downstairs, where Jasper, Alice, and Emmett were already gathered on the couch. The only one missing was Rosalie. I didn't even have to peak into her thoughts to know that she was still deciding what to wear.

"Edward!" Alice squealed, bouncing over to me. "Aren't you excited? Our first day, finally!"

"I don't see much of a reason to be excited. It's just high school. Nothing we haven't done before."

"I know, but…" Alice frowned, her excitement ended. "Edward, you're such a downer!" She returned the couch to sit with Jasper.

I chuckled to myself and took a seat on the couch next to Emmett.

"Dude, I don't get why Rosalie's taking so long to get dressed."

"It's a girl thing," Alice offered with a shrug, placing herself on Jasper's lap.

"You didn't take that long," Jasper pointed out.

"Oh, please. I've been planning this outfit since Carlisle told us about the move!" She grinned.

"It's not like Rosalie has anything to worry about. She could come to school in garbage bags and guys would still gawk, and girls would still be insanely jealous," I muttered.

Emmett punched me in the arm. "Don't say that. I don't want guys gawking at her!"

I grinned and shook my head. "Emmett, it's unavoidable."

He sighed. "I know." His frown lifted up into a proud smile. "But too bad for them, I'm the only one who'll ever have her."

Carlisle entered the living room then, dressed for work and carrying his medical bag.

"Good luck at Forks High today. I'm sorry to put you through the pains of school, again."

"Don't worry about it," Alice piped up. "We don't mind, do we?"

"Speak for yourself," Emmett mumbled.

"It's not exactly the easiest place for me to be…" Jasper said softly.

Alice turned to face him and rested a hand on his shoulder. "I have complete faith in you, Jasper." They shared a look that forced me to look away. I felt like I was interrupting something special.

Carlisle gave a small smile. "Well, once again, good luck." He glanced at his watch. "And please, try not to be late. It's already weird enough having you start on a Tuesday. But yesterday was just so sunny, and there's no way we could wait another week…it would cause too much commotion around town."

"I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. Probably just basic, small town gossip," I reassured Carlisle.

He smiled fully then, and nodded. "Okay, you're probably right, Edward. But again, please don't be late. Esme is in Seattle shopping today, so it's up to you to leave on time. You're all mature, of course." He chuckled. "I trust that you can take care of yourselves. Anyway, I better be off now; it would look especially bad if I was late."

In one lightning quick motion, he was gone, leaving us alone to wait for Rosalie. As was expected, she didn't come down for quite some time, and we were late. In fact, we didn't make it to school until around noon.
