A/N: OoOoOoOkKkKkKkK….. I feel like I owe ya'll an explanation… I have actually had this chapter for a really long time. Sorry! Please don't be mad! I am going to finish the story. And I will finish my other one! (In love with a monster: it's about Jacob imprinting on this girl and then she turns into a vamp. I'm more passionate about this one, but I felt really bad for Jacob.)

School has been crazzzy. No joke. Im swamped. And I have been writing my novel. (Someday I hope to be a full time writer and hopefully I'll be able to publish it. Until then it is a more private story. I was thinking about putting it up on fictionpress and getting some feedback but I was like, "nah… I don't wanna." So I didn't. (Great reason huh??) ummm, anything else… OH! A frosted flakes grrrrrrrrreat book/series is called the "Green Rider" series. The first book is called "Green Rider" the second is…. Something that is slippen my mind and the third is called "The High Kings Tomb." Omg, they're amazing. They have adventure, action, romance (mostly in the second book), despair and a semi happy ending. Of course the fourth book isn't out yet sooo I'm relying purely on my physic skills.

Yes, so that's what I've been up to on while I haven't been writing these two stories. Oh I've also been beta-ing a little. Check out "framed?" by Lyvia Alvarez its bout Bella and Edward as spys and its awesome.

When I got back from hunting with Will, I found a very excited Alice.

"As your 'cousin' I feel the need to help you with your…" she paused for dramatic effect. "…back to school outfit!"

"Cousins?"

"Yeah, that's our cover," she explained. "Now, go!" she pointed upstairs to (I assume) my room.

"Sheesh. Don't be so pushy," I said as she shoved me upstairs.

"Don't 'Sheesh' me. I've only got 2 hours to get you ready, since you and Will decided to take an extra long time." She paused outside my room. "What were you doing out there that took so long anyway, hmmm?"

"Nothing like that," I said as I rolled my eyes. I walked into the room and saw an incredible outfit hanging on the closet door. I actually felt my jaw drop. Hanging on a satin hanger were clothes that looked like they were imported strait from some designer in Italy. Then again, considering this was Alice we were talking about, they probably were.

The shirt was black with opal colored sequins decorating the extremely v shaped collar. Then there were the overly skinny black jeans with silver seams outlining the pockets. The shoes were ankle boots that looked like incredibly expensive leather.

"Um, Alice?" I asked. "You do know that I'm going to school, not a club right?"

"Ugh, you too?" she groaned. "Bella wouldn't wear it either."

I closed my eyes and opened them slowly to see Alice's perfect brow furrowed. "Why don't you wear it?"

"Because I already have my outfit!" she cried as if there was nothing worse in the world. She took a minute and composed herself before sighing and continuing. "Okay, I think I can make this work." She disappeared and re-appeared a second later holding a green baby doll top that looked like it would be a little tight across the chest and some white flats. She threw them at me.

"Outfit number two?" I guessed.

"Yes," she closed the door and ordered me to try the top on with the jeans.

In two seconds, I had changed and was starting to wonder why she thought two hours wasn't enough time to get ready.

"Perfect!" she said exuberantly as she jumped up and down, clapping her hands. "Now, hair and maybe a little make up?" She wasn't really talking to me.

She did my hair, curling the ends a little bit, at human speed.

"Hair can't be rushed," she said as if she could read my mind.

While she was doing my hair, she explained a few things to me. "Vampire's are pretty much frozen at the time they're bitten, so if you were pregnant, you would be pregnant for the rest of your existence."

"That really sucks," I muttered thinking about being pregnant forever; nine months would be just fine.

"Yeah. That also means that our finger nails and hair doesn't grow anymore."

"Wait, what happens then if I break a nail or something?"

"We don't break nails Zally," she said rolling her eyes. "We're more… durable, after the change." She went on doing my hair and as an afterthought added, "Our hair never falls out either."

"That's nice to know."

We went on chatting about basically nothing until we were called downstairs to talk about my upcoming day.

"As Will informed you," Carlisle started. "You're in all the same classes. Our cover story is that you are Alice's cousin. Your parents are abusive so we took you in."

"What are all of your stories? Just in case I'm asked."

"Esme and I are married of course and we moved here because Esme likes the small town atmosphere. Edward and Emmett are brothers and my nephews who we adopted when my sister and her husband died. Alice is not related to us, nor is Will, we simply adopted them. Jasper and Rosalie are twins who are foster children. Bella is there younger sister.

"You, Bella, Edward, Alice, and Will are sophomores. Emmett, Rose, and Jasper are juniors."

"Wait, what's our last name?"

"It is different for everyone. Edward and Emmett are Cullen's, Jasper, Rosalie, and Bella are Hale's, Alice and you are Scott's, and Will is borrowing your last name: Hanson," He explained. "Oh, I almost forgot. Because your name is so unique and recognizable you should pick another one."

"What?" I didn't like my name but it was still my name.

"Zales Hanson is dead. Even if your last name is different, how many people do you know whose name is "Zales"?"

I sighed, knowing he was right. "I understand, I guess I should have realized that." I paused. "Do I get to choose?"

"Of course, dear," Esme said in her musical voice.

"Hmmm." I thought about it for a moment. I wanted a change. A nice name but a common one. "How about Bridget?" it was a nickname of my middle name so it would be easy to remember.

"That suits you," Alice agreed, looking mischievous.

Edward explained her look. "Alice knew that was what you were going to pick."

"Ah," I said.

"I'll go call the school and inform them of your name," Carlisle said.

"How did you manage to get my schedule to match Will's with out giving them my name? It seems like it would be the first thing they would ask."

"I managed to tell them that I had an important meeting to go to and that they should just put Will into the list of classes I gave them for you."

"Oh."

"You all should go, school starts in fifteen minutes," Esme chided. "Have a good first day!" she called as we filed out of the front door.

"Alright, carpool time!" Emmett declared. "Who are our designated drivers?"

"Edward will be cranky if he doesn't get to drive," Bella stated.

Edward just rolled his eyes and said, "I would prefer to drive."

"Will?"

"Sure why not."

"If we take the Volvo and the Guardian, that we can fit everyone pretty nicely," Emmett said, thinking aloud.

"It'll work," Will said starting toward the Guardian. I assumed I was riding with him so I followed.
"We'll ride with them," Alice volunteered taking Jasper's hand and pulling him along with her.

Once we were all settled with Will driving, me riding shotgun, and Alice and Jasper in the back, Will pulled out of the garage and shot down the narrow driveway like a bat out of hell. I was getting used to vampire's need for speed so it didn't bother me.

When we were on the main road, Jasper said, "I'm surprised that you're not more nervous, Zally."

"I liked school. Although it's weird taking a step back. I've already graduated and I'm going to be a sophomore again."

"I think Bella is nervous enough for all of us," Alice said thoughtfully.

"Yes she is."

"Why should she be nervous?" I asked.

"This was her original high school," Jasper informed me.

"And don't forget it was where she first saw Edward," Alice added.

"Of course I wouldn't but she's not nervous because of that," jasper said in his quiet voice. "She's nervous because it's been twenty three years since she's been here and she's worried that someone will recognize her."

"But all the swans are gone and anyway, her last name is Hale at the moment." She paused. "I don't see anyone recognizing her."

We had just pulled into the parking lot and were in a space next to Edward's Volvo. We all got out and met in a loose circle behind the cars. Everyone, I noticed, was staring at me.

"What?" I asked.

"How are you?" Will asked.

"I'm fi- Oh! Oh." I sighed. "Nope; still no desire for human blood." I whispered the last two words even quieter in case someone happened to be listening; not that they would be able to hear the low murmurs of our voices anyway.
"Dang it!" Alice said not as quietly. "Contacts!" She pulled me into the car.

"What are you talking about Alice? My eye sight is more than perfect."

"The color however is more than a little strange," she pointed out.

I thought a minute and then realized what she meant. At the moment, my eye color happened to be blood red.

She threw a packet contacts at me and commanded me to put them in. After they were in properly, Alice gave me my instructions.

"Now," she started. "These will only last for one period because the venom that keeps your eyeballs spinning dissolves them."

"What a pleasant visual Alice. Thank you." I said sarcastically.

There was a loud tap on the window signaling that our Alice's and my arguing time was up not that, we couldn't hear the bell ringing.

We got out and I watched as the Cullen's, Hale's, and Scott dispersed into the crowd of students heading for the main building. Will was scowling for some reason. I probably broke one of his many rules… I thought rolling my eyes. He was so easy to annoy.

"C'mon, you need to get signed in at the main office," he said, pinching the bridge of his nose.

I couldn't stand it. "Did I do something to upset you?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest defensively.

He looked at me as if I were crazy. "What are you talking about?"

I rolled my eyes. "You are acting like a jerk to me."

A look of genuine shock crossed his face before he mumbled, "It's not you."

"Oh, okay, so you have no reason to be mad at me. Am I correct in assuming this?"

He grounded his teeth together. "Correct."

"Good!" I said with mock enthusiasm. "Let's go sign me in then," my tone changing immediately to seriousness with a little annoyance sprinkled on top.

"Whatever."

We walked in silence to the office. As I opened the door, I was engulfed in heavily scented air. It smelled like a cinnamon except sickly sweet. I couldn't help scrunching up my nose.

"You'll get used to that," Will mumbled.

I attempted to compose my face and walked up to the desk.

"Can I help you dear?" a frazzled looking woman asked me. I searched for her name in recent memories around me and found a girl who had asked for something. Ms. Cope…?

"Yes, Ms Cope. I was wondering if I could have my schedule. My name is Bridget Scott."

She looked shocked for a moment. I looked back on our conversation through her eyes and realized my voice was had stunned her. Weird.

"Ah, yes, dear. I have it here." She rummaged in a stack of papers. "Yes here it is. Oh and this is a map-"

"That's alright. Will is in all my classes so I have a personally guide," I smiled at her which probably wasn't a good idea since she found my voice so stunning.

After shaking her head a little she answered, "Oh, that's right. Dr. Cullen described the situation." Then she smiled and wished me luck on my first day.

Will and I walked back outside, relishing the fresh air, free of the overpowering scents.

"Your senses are enhanced, remember?" Will whispered in a voice too low for most people's ears. "Though it defiantly doesn't help that human food smells and tastes disgusting now."

"That's probably what it was," I murmured back.

"You have to learn to control your facial expressions and movements. Don't show too many emotions and don't move too fast or show off. We don't want to attract any attention"

"Got it," I said. Louder I asked. "What's our schedule?"

He glanced down at the piece of paper and recited, "Pre-Calculus, English, Chemistry, Band, Spanish two, Government, and Gym."

"Ew," I groaned. "I hate math."

He just laughed quietly as he led me to the math building. When we walked in to the room 103, I stared. This was nothing like my old high school.

The desks were mismatched and the teacher's desk was made with dented, rusted, cheap metal. The ceiling tiles didn't even match.

"Well this is lovely," I muttered. There were a few students in the middle of the room. I took a step forward but Will took my hand and led me to the closest back corner.

"We don't associate with them," his tone was icy and low.

He pushed me toward the seat furthest in the corner and chose one directly in front of me.

I leaned forward so that my lips were only a couple of inches from his ear. "why not?"

He turned. At first he looked like he was about to rip me limb from limb, but then his face calmed - slightly. "Because, we're the aloof Cullen's and we can stay in one place longer if they don't notice things like our eye color changing, or flawless skin. Got it?"

"Yes." Jerk I thought. What was stuck up his butt?

He just turned around in his seat. I could not understand this boy…

A/N: it's me again! *sigh* I know you all hate me cuz I haven't updated in like… a year (not joking its only shy by a month…) but please please please review. Questions? Comments? Concerns? ….Feelings?
