Hey, I know that this isn't a very good story so far, but I like it and I want to see how I can make it out. Though I hope the reviews and everything pick up. But here is the chapter.

ENJOY!

School

Tristan POV:

The school day went slow, the whole time I was thinking about Ainsley. I knew she was in my grade, but I had yet to have any classes with her. My friends knew that I had a crush, but they just didn't know how just the memory of her face in my mind sent my heart racing. Her golden eyes and her pale skin, her rosy lips that sort of curved into a smile when she saw me looking, that moment our eyes met. I knew there was something different about her, something that made her different from me and the rest of the kids at our school.

"Tristan, class is over man. What is with you?" Dacota slapped me on the back and I looked around confused.
"Nothing there's just something on my mind right now." I gathered my things and walked with Dacota out of class.
"You've been like this all day man, your seriously starting to creep me out. Did you even do the homework that Mrs. Gilly assigned in there?" We got to our lockers and both began to turn the dials, our doors popped open at the same time.
"There was homework? Over what?" I shoved my English things into my locker and started to take out my Geometry.
"We have to read like four chapters, she gave us an hour in class to do it. Seriously man you're screwed up today. Well I've got World History so I'll see you later." He waved his hand over his back and started down the opposite way I was going.

I searched the halls for her or someone from her family, but found no one. I began to wonder if I had just imagined seeing her and her family this morning. But I knew that wasn't the case because everyone was talking about them even now I could hear the whispers about the new girls and boy. I walked faster jealous that other people were seeing her and I wasn't. I walked into my Geometry class and sat at the table behind Maddie in the back of the room. She turned around and stared at me, I could see her phone in her hand.

"My brother is telling me that your acting really weird today, what's up?" She stared hard at me.
"Nothing just got some things on my mind and I can't seem to focus on anything else." I shrugged and pulled out my notebook.
"It's that girl isn't it? The one from this morning the short pixie looking one?" I stopped what I was writing and looked up at her.
"How did you know?"
"Tristan I saw you staring at her, it was easy to tell which one you were staring at too. I mean your aren't very big on blondes so I knew right away which one you were looking at. Plus you're not gay so you weren't looking at the boy and you don't give a shit about cars so you weren't looking at the car either." She rolled her eyes; I hated how Maddie always figured me out before anyone else did.
"You're good."
"I know. Now pay attention in this class I heard the lesson is hard today and you're not very good at math any ways." She turned around I just laughed to myself.

Though I figured I would try to pay attention in this class, Ainsley walked in and I knew right away that there was no way I was going to be pay attention in this class. She walked up to Mr. Liggett and gave him a slip. He signed it and pointed to where I was sitting; when she looked we locked eyes again. Maddie turned around and looked at me with her jaw dropped; I was just as surprised as her. Ainsley made her back to me and every male in the class turned around to watch her walk.

I looked down at my notebook and tried my hardest not to stare at her like the rest of class was, I knew she was beautiful but I figured they would know not stare. We were in high school and knew were always taught that it wasn't nice to stare. When she sat down I caught her scent right away, she smelled like roses and ginger. I closed my eyes and breathed in deep.

"Hello my name is Ainsley. Your Tristan right?" She wasn't looking at me, but down at her hands.
"Yah that's right. You're the girl I saw this morning right?" I didn't look at her either, but down at my own hands.
"Yah that was me and my cousins Lilly and Kraig. I haven't seen them all day and I'm getting nervous since the only thing people are doing today is staring at me." She said all this very fast, I had to listen closely to get it all.
"I'm sorry. Well if you want to you can sit with me and my friends at lunch, the girl in front of us is one of them. Her name is Madeline, but we call her Maddie." At the mention of her name Maddie turned around and smiled.
"There are only four of us all together. Tristan, me, my brother Dacota, and my boyfriend Dominic. We are kind of labeled the school's outcast for some odd reason. We're all really nice, but people just don't seem to want to be around us. I think its Tristan personally." She smiled and turned around which made Ainsley laugh.
"Sounds interesting." She said between small musical laughs.
"Oh it is, but if you don't want to ruin the image you have so far by hanging out with us then we will fully understand. No hard feelings what so ever." I said this all with a smile, it was hard not to smile around her.
"No, you guys seem pretty cool and I really don't care what people think about me. I mean more people are going to think bad things than good. I guess I'm going to have to thank Lilly for that; she's a little tough to get along with. If she doesn't like you she'll tell you straight up. She's not a very shy person. Kraig is though, he gets that from his mom, and he keeps most of his feelings to himself." She had to say this quietly because the class had started.
"Well at lunch your all welcomed to sit with us if you like. You won't find a better group then ours."
"Yah, I can tell." She said this softly and I knew she that she meant something very good by this. I smiled to myself and began to pay attention to the lesson because of course Maddie had been right, it was very hard.

After class I walked out with Maddie and Ainsley, we all three had the same class next. We laughed as we made our way to art class. We were a few feet away when Ainsley saw Kraig getting ready to walk into the classroom across the hall.

"KRAIG!" Ainsley hurried to her cousin as me and Maddie watched. "You guys come meet my cousin. Kraig this is Tristan and Maddie. They asked us to sit with them at lunch."
"Hey sounds good to me. How is school going for you Ains?" He wrapped an arm around her shoulder giving her a one armed hug.
"Good, since I met these two, seriously no one will talk to me here. I don't get it; do I come off evil like Lils?" A sly smile came across Kraig's face and they both laughed.
"I think it's just because you're so beautiful and Lils is just like her mother so probably. Well you better get to class. See you later Tristan, Maddie." He waved and gave his cousin a kiss on the cheek.
"We're really close. Our mom's are best friends so naturally they pushed us together when we were younger. So we just kind of grew up like brother and sister instead of cousins. Really our whole family is close, which is fun half of the time. My uncle Emmett is a really funny guy, you'll have to meet him sometime." She hurried into the room and gave her slip to the teacher who signed it without looking up.

We took her to the back of the room where our stools were and sat up. We were supposed to pick partners and draw and paint our partners how we see them. Since Dominic was in our class also Maddie and he partnered up. Ainsley scooted her things closer to me and I smiled. Which was fine with me I wanted to paint Ainsley I think it would be a good challenge.

"So do you like to paint?" I asked getting my easel ready and my paints.
"I love it. My Uncle Edward always pushed me to do something artistic while my mother always pushed me towards clothes. But I got addicted to both. I love shopping and I love painting." She picked up a pencil and began to draw on the easel that I didn't even see her set up.
"My mom was an artist. My dad is more of a business man." I set aside my paints and began to outline Ainsley on my easel.
"What do you mean was?" Her eyes kept going from to the easel to me; she had a small smile on her face the whole time.
"She passed away when I was six. She died of breast cancer, I don't remember her much. But if you go to the restaurant Tristan in town you'll see a large picture of her. She was really loved in town." Her hand was moving so quickly, I was amazed.
"Wow, I'm sorry Tristan. I never knew my real mother or father. My parents found me when I was just a couple of months old. But I have always thought of them as my parents. I love them so much, I really can't think of anyone being better parents." Her smile grew I noticed when she talked about her family.
"They sound like great people; your whole family does really. I only see my dad; the rest of our family really has nothing to really do with us. My mom was an only child and both of her parents passed away a while ago. I only got to see them a few times a year." My drawing was coming out and I saw Ainsley begin to form on my paper.
"I'm sorry; I don't know what I would do without mine. I mean we are rather strange and it would take a lot out explaining, but really I think you would love them all."

We didn't talk for the rest of the class, we just drew each other, sometimes catching each other's eye and smiling and I began to wonder if there was something she tried to tell me in her last sentence.

Ainsley POV:

Tristan was very different, his scent did call to me it was something wonderful. But I fought against it with a smile and some laughs. I knew that I couldn't put my family in danger; this was all on my shoulders. I could see it in Kraig's eyes when he saw that I was hanging dangerously close to a human that smelled so good. I just hope he didn't see the thirst in my eyes.

My daddy always called it "the beast" I was to always to keep it at bay to never let it lose no matter how bad it hurt and how tempted I was. I knew my dad wasn't so innocent I knew he had tasted a lot of human blood, but I trusted him. My mother always told me to keep my eye out for someone special, but this morning her eyes looked a little worried when I kissed her and my father good bye. I only guessed she saw something that made her nervous, though she didn't tell me what.

Drawing Tristan was easy, his face was so defined and his eyes so deep. It seemed that he looked right into my dead heart and knew what I wanted. Someone that wasn't family that I could talk to, I shared a lot more with him than I probably should have. But he was becoming a friend and making other friends for me. His friend Maddie was sweet and a very pretty girl. I didn't miss the looks he sometimes gave her and I began to wonder if there was there. But then she mentioned her boyfriend and I saw the way her eyes lit up when she said his name I knew there was nothing there for Tristan besides friendship.

When the teacher told us to put away our easels and clean up our stations. Tristan smiled and walked over and put his easel in a closet with everyone else. I made sure he couldn't see mine and put with the others. We walked out of the class room and towards our locker, which were halls apart.

"What's your next class before lunch? Wait what lunch do you have?" He slumped against the locker next to mine while I spun in my numbers.
"I have History next and I have first lunch. Do you guys have first lunch?" I opened my locker and began to pile my books inside while pulling more out. A smile came across his face and it made me smile right back.
"Yah that's our lunch, so I'll meet you at your locker and we'll search around for your cousins to make sure they have the same lunch then we'll all head to the cafeteria and get some food. But I need to head to my class, I'll see you later." He waved over his shoulder and headed down the hall; I smiled and shut my locker.

I was unfocused in my whole next class, my eyes kept finding their way to the clock and my mind kept counting down the minutes and the seconds until I could be with Tristan again. It was funny the way I was feeling about him, it was funny by the fact that I knew I should stay away from him. For his own good, not my own, I knew my Uncle Edward and Aunt Bella met the same way me and Tristan did, but I also knew that my Uncle was strong and my aunt was different from other humans. She was special and my uncle just couldn't stay away from her. When class finally ended I was first out of the class room, probably not in a normal human speed. When I got to my locker I saw that Tristan was already there with Lilly and Kraig with him. Lilly was eyeing Tristan in a very Lilly like manor. I gave her a look and she stopped, Kraig just tried to hide a laugh. I hurried and opened my locker and shoved everything inside.

"How was class?" Tristan asked walking next to me; Lilly and Kraig were behind us.
"It was interesting; to be honest I don't really remember what was said or anything." When he smiled I smiled back and my body drifted closer to his too fast for him to notice any change.
"Yah that usually happens in Mr. Boogles class, I was able to pass only because of Maddie. She has always been good at History, where I've never been good at remember dates and people who said certain things." He opened the door for me and I walked in the cafeteria and waited for him to come in too. He let Lilly and Kraig walk in before him.
"I'm not really hungry so will you just point out where you usually sit and I'll just meet you guys there." Lilly said while playing with her finger nails, which were painted a bright purple today.
"Right over there in the corner." Tristan pointed to the back wall where there was a table with two people sitting there. I recognized Maddie, but didn't know the other one. But I guessed by the how much they looked alike it was her brother.
"Okay thanks." She made her way over to the table and I noticed every male head in the room turn to stare at her, I also noticed the tightening of Kraig's jaw as he saw it too.

We went through the line getting food and talking with each other, Kraig was now a little happier, but his jaw was still tight. Tristan's tray had hardly any food piled on, where I noticed everyone else had food on top of food on their trays. I bought an apple and a bottle of water; he made no comment at my lack of food. Kraig said he didn't see anything he liked and had started for the table before we were out of line.

"So do you guys all live together or something?" He handed the lunch lady enough money to pay for both of our lunches, he only had a Diet Coke and a bag of chips.
"Well yah it's just me, my mom, my dad, grandparents, Aunt Bella, Uncle Edward, Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rose. Then there's my cousin Renesmee, but she mostly lives with her boyfriend Jacob." I shrugged my shoulders like there was nothing a matter with the large amount of people living in my house.
"Whoa, that's a lot. I would love to have that many people living with me. It's just me and my dad, but more of just me." We came up to the table and we took the last two empty seats.
"Hey Tristan gym is going to be boring, we are going over rules and such. I want to play some basketball and crush your team. Oh, you must be Ainsley. I'm Dominic, but you can call me Dom." He took a bite out of his sandwich and smiled, thankfully with his mouth closed.
"Nice way to be rude man. I'm Dacota, Maggie's brother and Tristan's best friend, also somewhat brother if I do say so myself." I laughed and he winked at me causing Tristan to pick a grape off Maggie's tray and throw it at him, but Dacota caught it in his mouth and just laughed at Tristan's efforts.

The rest of lunch was interesting and entertaining, I even saw Lilly smile at some of the things that were said and done, when lunch was over I noticed that we were the last people in the cafeteria, Tristan picked up my trash for me, the full water bottle and perfect apple, he kept the water bottle for himself but tossed the apple to Maggie who took a large bite out of it and walked out the second set of doors instead of the ones we walked out of. Tristan didn't say anything as we walked down the hall towards my locker, Lilly and Kraig went down the separate way from us, and I didn't miss the warning look Lilly shot me from over her shoulder. At my locker Tristan still didn't say anything; he just stood there against the locker next to mine staring at the wall across from him. When I shut my locker and turned towards is when he finally looked at me.

He surprised me by leaning forward and pressing his warm lips to my cold cheek, he pulled away and smiled at me.

"You're different Ainsley, not like any other human I know." He took a drink from my bottle water and turned and left me in the hall in a panic.

Well there is the second chapter.
