Chapter 4

A/N so here it is! The future! Yay! I'm going to try to make this chapter extra long, so enjoy my pretties. :)

Previously:

I thanked them for telling me after they were done, then asked Rose to teach me about cars, and she perked up almost instantly and said, "Yeah! Follow me!" and we went into the garage, and I started to learn about cars….

50 YEARS LATER….

I was sitting in my room, when I heard Ali call up the stairs, "BELLA! We're leaving for school now, come on!" yes you heard her right; we're attending school in my hometown, Forks, at Forks high school. We moved here during the summer, and are posing as teenagers, so I get to keep going through school again, and again, and again. *sigh* just wonderful.

"Coming Ali!" I yelled back. I looked in the mirror, and appraised my outfit one more time. I was wearing black distressed skinny jeans, with a black and red My Chemical Romance Band Tee and my purple converse. My makeup was dark, but not so much that I looked like a raccoon. I bounced down the stairs and hopped in the back of Edward's Volvo with Ali and Jazz, and we were off to our first day of high school.

When we got to the high school, everyone in the parking lot was gawking at us. I had gotten used to it by now, and just ignored them. We joined Rose and Em at Rose's convertible and headed to the front office to get our schedules. After getting our schedules, and secretly laughing at the secretary, who was openly lusting after Jazz (his face was priceless), we exchanged our schedules. Jazz, Em, Rose and I were juniors, and Edward and Ali were sophomores. I had Math and Science with Rose, American History with Jazz, and LA and Gym with Em. This year was going to be great. I heard Em speak up, "AW SWEET! Bells! We have gym together! Gonna be fun beating your ass in gym class. WOAH! I just rhymed. Sweeeet. " I just smile at his competitive nature, grab my schedule, and head off to Math with Rose.

On the way to Math, I heard some of the boys whispering to their friends in the hallways. "Dude, those chicks are SO hot."

"I'd tap that." And other comments that go on like that. I just giggle and keep on walking. We walked into the math room, and got similar looks from the boys in the classroom that we got outside. There are two empty seats in the back of the room, so we head back there, and just talk all class. The next class I have is Spanish. I walk into the classroom, and sit in the back of the room, surrounded by people who dress similar to me. One boy with short black hair, and a side bang with ice blue eyes, turns to me and smiles.

"Hey, I'm Aiden," he says

"Bella," I reply

"You're new to Forks?"

"Yeah"

"That's cool."

"Sure," I say sarcastically

"I know, I'm such a dork,"

I smile and laugh. "Sure you are, that's why you dress like a pro," I said, looking at his Greenday shirt, skinny jeans, and converse

"He he, well, I try, but no one seems to like the way I dress, besides these other dorks," he says, motioning to three other boys, who were wearing the same type of clothing, and who were now looking at us. "Bella, that's Nate," he said pointing to the boy with hair like Aiden's, except he had a green streak going through his bangs, and he had dark brown eyes just like mine when I was human. "And those two are Geoff and Matt, they're twins," he said pointing to the other two boys, who had almost identical hair; medium length hair with side bangs, but Geoff's was a silvery colour, and Matt's was snow white, and they both had storm grey eyes.

"Nice to meet you Bella," Nate said with a smile that reminded me so much of Charlie's…

"Yeah, nice to meet you!" the twins said at the EXACT same time.

"Whoa, creepy. Do they do that all the time?" I asked Aiden.

"Yeah, but you get used to it after a while," he replies.

"Oh, I see, you know what? I think we'll be great friends. You should sit with me and my adopted siblings at lunch!" I said really excited.

"Sounds awesome. Mind if my twin sister joins us?" he asks, sounding unsure.

"Yeah, that's fine." I said, while smiling a smile similar to a slightly insane person. The five us laughed and joked around until, all too soon, the bell rang, which signified the end of Spanish, and the beginning of Gym with Em. This is gonna be great!

After I got changed into the gym clothes that were given to us, I jogged over to Em, who was smiling like a lunatic. "Guess what Bells?" he asked with that same creepy smile.

"What, Em?" I asked.

"We're doing races today, and I'm racing YOU first."

"Oh, it's on Em!" I said, suddenly feeling very competitive. The coach called us over, and Em and I raced first, but stayed to a human running pace, and I, of course, won, just because some of the girls in our class' squealing distracted Em a little bit. We were allowed to sit on the bleachers outside after we were done racing, and I asked Em, "Em, do you mind if some of my new friends come to sit at our table at lunch today, I have a good feeling about this, it just feels like something's going to happen."

"Yeah Bells, that's fine, as long as it's something good that's going to happen." Em said. After that, we just watched the humans run, and poked fun at a couple of kids that reminded me of some of the kids I went to school with 50 years ago. Right after the last race was over, the bell rang, and I rushed into the change room, just to get the best table here, that I knew of, that is, if they haven't changed the rest of the school in 50 years too.

Em and I reached the cafeteria first, and I dragged Em to the table farthest away from the doors, and nearest to the window that's by the forest behind the school. As soon as we reached the table and sat down, Ali, Rose, Jazz, and Edward walked through the door, and made a beeline for our table, and Ali and Edward had huge smiles on their faces. Ali came up to me and whispered really low so only I cold hear, "Bella, I LOVE your new friends, and Aiden's sister is Jazz's MATE, but don't tell him that, cus then it wont be that much fun, and it'll ruin the surprise, okay?" I nod, completely happy for him, but still feeling a little lonely, because, Jake is my one and only, and he had gone missing shortly after I had. I remember the day I found out very clearly.

Flashback:

I was reading the news from Seattle a few days after I had beat Emmett in wrestling to see if there was any obituary or something for me, when I saw the title on one of the pages. It read, "Local Man, Jacob Black, Missing" I gasped and read the story. After he had sold our house, he just disappeared, and up until then, they had searched, but had stopped, because they thought he was most likely dead. I crumpled to the floor, clutching the newspaper to my chest, and sobbing, thinking that my heart and soul was gone, and I was stuck on this Earth forever. Jasper rushed into my room with a concerned look on his face, and when he saw my current state, he rushed over and gently laid me on my bed. He pried the newspaper out of my hands, and read the article. When he was done, he looked over to me with a look of sympathy on his face, and I scowled. "You have NO clue how I feel Jasper, so don't look at me with that sympathetic face of yours." I hissed.

"But Bella, I do know how you feel. From what I remember from my human life, I also had a fiancé, but when I enrolled in the army and got changed, I never saw her again, because I feared I would kill her myself. I outlived her, and it was the most painful things I have ever had to endure. To hear about her death made my dead heart shatter into a million pieces." He said, with so much pain in his eyes, that it made me want to cry.

"Oh, Jazz, I'm so sorry, I didn't know!" I cried. I got up and tackled him into a hug. He hugged be back, and he started shaking, and when I heard the broken sob, I understood. He was dry sobbing. I turned him human, and let him cry with tears for once. After he had started to settle down, I pulled out of the hug and wiped his tears, and smiled at his emerald eyes. When I looked at his face, and saw the vulnerability, I knew that I had to help Jazz before I could help myself. "Jazz?"

"Yeah Bells?"

" I swear, I'll help you find your mate, even if it means sacrificing my own happiness, because you deserve to be happy, truly happy, after all the shit you've been through. "

"Thanks Bells, and I swear the same thing to you, I pinky promise." He said with a grin, I grinned back, and we shook pinkies. That vow would be the one promise, no matter what, that I would keep.

End Flashback:

"Bells?" Jazz said with a worried look, "what's goin' on in that pretty lil' head of yours?"

"Nothing, just memories." I replied.

"About Jake?"

I laughed, "You know me all to well Jazz. Oh, by the way, I'm having some of my friends sit with us at lunch if that's okay…"

"Gosh Bells, you make friends quick don't you?"

"Oh yeah," I said, "Oh, here they come now," I said with glee.

JPOV (Jasper)

(A/N ohhhhhh didn't see that now did you? :P)

"Oh, here they come now," Bella said with glee in her voice and in her emotions. I looked over and saw 5 people walking towards us; 4 boys and the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my existence, and I didn't care if I was gaping at her. She had purple eyes, no doubt from contacts, and the darkest black hair I had ever seen that flowed down in waves down behind her shoulders. She was wearing clothes that were similar to Bella's; purple distressed skinny jeans, and a black Metallica band tee on. She was fairly petite, and couldn't be more that 5'5". Her skin was perfect, with no blemishes, and she was almost as pale as we were. She was stunning, and I HAD to get to know her.

BPOV

I saw Jazz ogling Aiden's sister, and I giggled at his dumbstruck face. Aiden noticed my giggling, and looked at Jazz, and started snickering at his face as well. He was going to have fun playing big brother with this one. He spoke up from almost across the room, "Bella! Hey!" he said smiling.

I yelled back, "Hey Aiden! Pull up a chair!" all the while smiling at the people's shocked faces. When everyone was seated at our huge table, I spoke up, "Well I should probably introduce everyone. Guys, this is my family: Jasper, Alice, Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett," I said pointing to each one of my family members, "and guys, these are my new friends, Aiden, Nate, Geoff, Matt, and….."

"Serenity," she finally spoke in the most adorable voice EVER!

"And Serenity." I smiled at her to ease her shyness and she smiled back, then I noticed that she was still standing. I just so happened to be sitting beside Jazz, so I hatched a quick plan. "Hey, Serenity, why are you still standing up?" I asked

"Umm…well….I can't find a chair, and the closest one is near Jessica Stanley, and she doesn't like me at all, she keeps teasing me about how I dress and stuff," she replied gloomily. Jazz looked positively livid at this tidbit of info, and I had to put my hand on his arm to calm him down. He looked at me gratefully and I smiled.

I then said, "Well, we're not going to have this problem anymore. You can sit here, and I'll go get a chair for myself."

"Really? Thanks so much!" she said, sounding much happier.

"It's no problem at all."

I got up, and got the chair by this Jessica Stanley character, and walked away, but as I turned around to walk away, I heard her say to her plastic friend, "Wow, she's even more emo than Emo Chick over there, what's her deal, can't she be normal like everyone else? No one's ever going to love her." And her friend laughed. Tears welled up in my eyes, because I knew that it was the truth, no one was ever going to love me, I'm just a freak.

I put the chair at our table, and said, "I'm going out for some air, it's too stuffy in here," and walked out of the cafeteria to the side of the building where no one could see me cry…..

A/N: Whew! This took a while for me to type up! And sorry I haven't updated in a little while, because school's been CRAZY! Next up, more lunch period. I'm going to drag out this one day for a couple chapters, cus it's a pretty important day.
