Chapter Two
"Hey Leah!" Alice danced up to the table where we sat.
So far, Alex was nowhere in sight, maybe she was just late, or was lost.
"Who's Alex?" Edward asked.
I glared at him, stupid mind reader.
"Sorry, but seriously, who is she?" He questioned, trying to look further into my thoughts, but I quickly got him out of my head by think singing Barbie girl in Swedish.
"Alex is the new girl." Alice smiled, doing a twirl around Jaspers hand, and then sitting down.
"And, Miss Leah has just imprinted on her." She smiled.
The whole table went silent.
"As soon as I get the chance Alice, I'm burning down your closet." I growled.
"Cool!" Seth smiled, not affected at all by the change.
Rosalie looked uninterested, Emmett had the usual goofy grin, Jasper was studying Alice, Alice was happy as could be, Bella was shocked, Edward was still recovering from the song, and Jacob was staring at me.
"Problem?" I asked testily.
"No problem here, is she into sports? Like soccer, or football, or baseball?" Emmett began to think, which a huge accomplishment for him.
I shrugged.
"She likes to draw." I said, putting the drawing that she did of me in the center of the table.
"Wow, she's good. She drew that?" Edward questioned.
"Nice, I can't wait to have another drawer around!" Alice sighed happily.
I looked around once more, spotting her standing slightly awkwardly in the corner of the cafeteria near the entrance, her head hanging down.
"I'll be right back." I told my friends, and headed towards Alex.
She looked up and smiled when she saw me.
"Hey, you want to sit with us? We have some room." I asked.
"Sure!" Her face brightened.
I led her over to the table.
"Guys, meet Alex, Alex meet my brother Seth, and my friends Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Bella, Jacob, Jasper, and Alice." I introduced my imprint.
"Nice to meet you guys." She spoke quietly.
"It's great to finally meet you too; Leah showed us your drawing! I draw too, want to see?" Alice plunked down next to her, I was on the other side, and pulled out her sketch book.
"Those are nice! I'm guessing this is your boyfriend?" She pointed to a drawing of Jasper.
"Yup, that's Jasper." She smiled widely.
"You into sports?" Emmett asked, smiling his boyish grin.
"Of course, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and football and I play all of them. Did you follow the world cup?" She smiled, turning slightly towards him.
"All of it, who'd you root for?" Emmett was getting excited now.
"Spain and Algeria, Spain has the cute guys, and Algeria is one of my favorite places."
"Yeah, Spain all the way!" He bent across the table to high five her.
"Algeria tied with England, didn't they?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah, that was a great game." She laughed.
"Totally, but England sucked this world cup." He groaned.
"No kidding, especially against USA, which has got to be embarrassing." She laughed.
Her laugh was beautiful.
Alice cleared her throat.
"As much as I love hearing about things that I really have no idea about, I think you need to share the newcomer!" She exclaimed.
"What do you like to do?" She questioned.
"Well, I like to draw, paint, read, write, play sports, watch sports, and redecorating things." She answered.
Her entire personality had changed so dramatically since I first met her. No longer was she the shy girl I had first met, but she was a happy and talkative girl. I liked it.
"Do you have a ride home?" Alice asked.
"I usually walk." She answered.
"Why don't we give you a ride, if you have a football at your house we could pass a little?" Emmett suggested.
"Sure, if it's not too much trouble for you." She smiled widely.
"Our pleasure!" Alice's smile matching Alex's.
The bell rung.
"I'll see you guys later?" She questioned.
"Yep, on the front stairs of school, okay?" I confirmed.
She nodded yes, and then turned and walked towards the science lab, depositing her tray before slinking out the door.
She hadn't eaten a thing.
"You have some nice cars!" Alex gently ran a hand over the sleek side of Alice's yellow car.
She smiled widely.
"Do you like cars?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah, I did a little mechanics back when I was in seventh grade." She smiled back.
We all slipped in, Alice in the drivers spot and Alex sitting next to me in the back.
We drove along while Alex directed Alice to her house.
"So, what do you think of school so far?" Jasper asked, speaking up for the first time since he and Alex had met.
"I like it, some of the classes are super boring, but it's not like I can't draw in them." She shrugged.
He nodded; we all knew the classes were boring.
Suddenly, Jasper's phone rang.
"Hello? Yeah, just dropping off Leah's friend, what? Okay, yeah, sure, okay, bye." He hung up.
"That was Esme, she needs Emmett, Rosalie, Jacob, Seth, Bella, Edward, and I back at the house, they need help with some moving. But she said for you and Alice to have fun." He told me.
I nodded.
"Bring a football to school tomorrow, okay?" Emmett instructed as Alex, Alice, and I got out of the car.
"Tomorrow's winter break Emmett." She smiled.
"Seriously?" He asked, shocked.
"Yeah, today was our last day." She laughed at his confused face.
"One scratch on the car and I will flay you alive Rosalie, got it?" Alice threatened cheerfully.
"Got it." She responded.
"Have fun." Bella waved, and they took off.
We were on a barren block, but it looked like the street curved a little up the way.
"Just on that curve." She said, walking slightly in front of us.
As we turned, we didn't see just a house. We saw a massive building.
"Forks Homeless Shelter" The sign read.
"Welcome to my home." She sighed heavily.
