(((I still don't own Twilight, but I have an IPOD!)))

"Bella, this is Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale," Mrs. Cope introduced and I assume she pointed them out with a wave over her hand as she said each name, "and this is Bella Swan," she said in the same manor. "Bella is Chief Swan's only daughter."

"Hi Bella!" Alice said in a very chipper and bell-like voice that reminded me of Miss O'Neil.

"Nice the meet you, Bella," Jasper said with a slight southern drawl. His voice also had the same quality as Alice and Miss O'Neil's voices, only deeper.

"Hello," I aid with a slight wave of my hand.

"So," Mrs. Cope said when a slightly awkward silence fell upon the small group of students gathered in the office, "Bella will be needing some help to get around the school grounds. I thought that you would be perfect for the job, Alice! Also, you are the only student with the exact same schedule as her. What do you say?"

"I'd love to, Mrs. Cope," Alice replied without a moment to think, like she knew why she was called into the office long before she was actually called. Maybe she did.

"That's wonderful!" she exclaimed before addressing me, "Bella, here is your schedule, Alice will read it to you. And here, have your teachers sign this and bring it back at the end of the day," I nodded in understanding.

"One question," Alice said before we left.

"Yes?" Mrs. Cope prodded.

"For Bella, wait no make that two."

"Umm, okay?"

"First, where did you get your sun glasses? They are adorable!" I hear Jasper sigh in exasperation.

"My mom got them for me last year."

She considered that for a second, "So, you're wearing year-old sun glasses?"

"Is that your second question?"

"No, sorry. Jazzy likes to say I have a shopping addition…"

"It's not just me, Alice. Our whole family says that." They are in the same family? I guess they're adopted.

"Anyway!" Alice intervened, "Why do I need to read your schedule for you?"

I wonder if Alice has a since of humor, she seems like she does, "I can't read."

"You can't read?"

"Nope."

"Then, how did you get into high school?"

"I never said I couldn't write or type, I just can't read ink on paper, or gold leafing, or what ever the type is."

"Why not?"

"It's hard to read what you can't see," I said with a smile. She took all that in and then asked another question.

"So, are you blind?"

"I thought you only had two questions to ask me."

She laughed, "I take that as a yes."

"Take it how ever you please. Now, class?"

"Yes, class. How do I do this?"

"Which hand is usually intertwined with Jasper's?"

"My right…."

"Then I hold onto your left inner-elbow with my right hand and Jasper holds your right hand and your books."

"Hear that Jazzy, you get to carry my books!" Alice laughed.

"Finally. You never let me have them," he replied with a laugh. I laughed softly and felt Alice grip my hand in a very cold and petite one. I moved my hand from her cold hand to her cold elbow.

"I feel like a train…or a sandwich," Alice said, making us all laugh.

"So, what do we have first?"

"Music General…what do you play?"

I groaned, "piano and a bit of singing. I told my mom not to put me in that!"

"Why?"

"People like to compare me to Ray Charles."

"But, he's a guy! That's just wrong!"

"And that's why I don't play in front of people often."

"Where did they get off saying that blind pianist are the same? I mean really, he was like a male-whore, too!" I had to laugh at that last part. I don't know about the person himself, but I heard that the movie did make him out to be one.

"So, what do you do?"

"I sing!" She sung out to me in a pitch so high I wanted to cover my ears, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I resisted. "Wow, you're the first person I've meet who hasn't reacted in any way to that pitch!"

"Trust me, Alice, I wanted to."

"Did you want to cover your ears like everyone else in the hall way?"

"Actually, yes."

"Yes! I knew it!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I made a bet with Jazzy that I could make everyone in the hallway at lest want to cover their ears."

"Did you want to cover your ears, Alice?"

She thought for a moment, "No…shoot, I didn't win!"

"Thank you, Bella!" Jasper said with a smile in his voice.

"Your welcome. What did I just save you from?"

"Taking Alice shopping everyday after school until the stores all close for the rest of the school year."

"And what did I cost you, Alice?"

"Going shopping after school for the rest of the year unless it's a special occasion."

"You know, you still have the computer and the weekends, right?"

"Bella, you're a genius!"

"Thank you."

"Well, we're here. Bye Jazzy, love you!"

"Bye Alice, love you, too," Jasper replied.

(((No offence meant, but I think Ray Charles' movie made him out to be a male-whore. He like slept with every woman who had a pretty wrist, even after he was married with child!)))
