Double update to make up for so much time in between posts...

"Riiiiiight...well, this is where I take my leave." Jake started to turn around, walking away from the entrance to the school.
"No Jake, you come back here. It's your fault Nessie enrolled me back into school!" Edward just looked at me smirking. I hadn't planned on going back to school for a while. With everything I had gone through in my high school years, I wasn't jumping to go back.
"No can do Bells, me and school just don't mix."
"Jake... . . .Me." Renesmee said.
"We don't want to be late!" Jake lead the way into the school grounds. People were rubber-necking to catch a glimpse of the giant.
Behind me, Rose made a whipping noise. Emmett gave her a high five.
"Carry my backpack Emmett."
"Okay," and without any hesitation he grabbed it. all eyes turned as the group walked in.

School, it had years since I'd ever entered into a real one. Since I had been little, my mother and father home schooled me as we traveled around for my acting career and training. There was a time in elementary school when I attended a public school for a year. That was the year I begged my parents to let me go to a real one. Also the year I made it big. Despite constantly traveling, I was pretty advanced in my studies. I enrolled myself in my junior year at the high school since it matched my age group. Anything to try and be normal.
I was sitting to the side of the entrance, away from the other groups of students that showed up early. Cliques were scattered around chatting. Sitting there watching them, I noticed each clique turning and looking towards the school's courtyard entrance. Walking in was a giant. Had to be at seven feet tall, broad shoulders, athletic look. Dark skin and short black hair. Behind him walked in the group of the most beautiful people I had ever seen, even in the Hollywood circuit. There were whispers when the giant was spotted, but now with the group behind him, no one was talking. The only voices that could be heard were coming from the group themselves, talking and laughing. When the last one entered into the school buildin, the courtyard erupted.
"Player one has entered the game..."
It was a cacophony of voices talking about various members of the group. It was nice to know that the other new students were going to be in the spotlight for a while yet, it would keep attention off of me. Students started filing into the school.
The last of the students were just about in when another group showed up. They were a ragtag group, tough looking. They were big, not as big as the giant from before though. It looked like they were trying to make a bad boy statement with their clothes. Leather jackets and torn jeans with biker boots. The students still outside pulled their friends out of the way, turning from the group, trying not to get noticed.
"Enter player two, the Lost Boys." I moved from my spot towards the door, "lets crack some books." I shook my head at my own corny joke, I felt bad...that was a bad one-liner. I blame Hollywood.

The school day was coming to a close. It was weird being stared at. I remembered the first day I saw the Cullens when I started at Forks. I stared harder at them than anything I ever had before. Now, the people around me were giving me the same looks. We had grouped in the hallway before our final classes. Rosalie breached the topic as a normal person would.
"I wonder how many people are going to fall in love with me this time." Jake snorted a little bit. "Stuff it dog."
Alice ruined the mystery. "Only one."
"Only one! This is unacceptable. In Forks there were 4!" Emmett instantly looked mad.
Jake said it under his breath but to the vampires around, it didn't matter with their hearing. "sssssluuuuuuuuut." Everyone was thinking it, but he just had to say it. Two slaps caught the back of his head, one from Rose, the other from Renesmee.
"Jake, only girls can call girls sluts. Didn't you learn anything from your first time through high school?" Renesmee jibed.
At the mention of loose females, Jasper stood awkwardly and turned in a weird direction towards the lockers. If he had a heart beat, he probably would have blushed.
"Stop being awkward Jasper," Alice instructed. She didn't even have to look up from her notebook to know what he was doing. He froze for a human second and walked down the hallway, girls turned to look at him as he went.
"What are you writing Alice?" This time I was the one who spoke.
" Just designing clothes Bella. Some of these people here need serious help. Have you seen the wannabe Lost Boys!?"
"You mean the movie from the 1980's about vampires?"
"Yep."
"Gross," Rose said
"There's one," Jake pointed down the hallway. Right when we looked, the stocky kid in a leather jacket pushed another student against the locker.
"You can't watch where you're goin? You fuckin nerd." The bully raised his fist, Jake moved fast but someone else got there first. We couldn't see who he was, he was hooded and walking with the crowd. He swung his back pack into the back of the bully's knee and kept walking. The punch missed and hit the brick wall next to nerd's head. He let out a scream of pain holding his hand.
He turned around looking for who did it, "Who is the asshole that's going to die!?" When he saw that no one was paying him any attention, he turned red and spun back around. The kid had slipped away when he was raging. "DAMMIT!"
"White knight to the rescue! Did you guys see that!?" Despite the fact that Jake was more than superhuman, he still got amazed when he saw regular people doing cool things.
"More importantly Jake, you can't go interfering every time someone gets bullied. We don't need the attention." I hate to admit it, but Rose was right.
"Looks like there is someone out there already doing good things, so don't worry about it," I added.
Jake stuck out his lip like he was pouting. "Fine."
Ding-ding
We parted ways for class. The last hour of the day I had with Jake.
"Bells, how do you think that kid is doing?"
"Well, Carlisle said he would be fine."
"What I mean is, he was making movies, living a big life,why would he stop? Whats he doing in this town? What he said too before he blacked out, about black eyes."
"Who knows Jake, he was half past dead."
"Bella, don't say that. You aren't cool enough to pull it off."
We walked in and noticed that there were only three desks free in the back. The class got silent as we appeared in the door. The two we took left one desk open in the corner. The final bell rang and the teacher moved to close the door.
"Welcome to the last hour of the first day!" A hand reached out and stopped the door.
"There's always one that is late on their first day..."
Jake and I looked at each other, our eyes passing the message.
The hooded figure stood there in the front of the class. "I'm sorry, I got lost. I'm new here..."
"Very well young man. I don't know what the other teachers have let you get away with, but in my class, we don't wear hats or hoods." The teacher motioned for him to continue.
He hesitated for a second before reaching up and pulling his hood down.
There...in front of the class, stood the boy from the TV.
Whispers flooded the room. "There is no way that is him," was the typical sound of them.
The teacher stared at him for a second, looking confused. "Right...take your seat."
Vincent moved to the seat by me. As soon as he sat down, the girl in front of him turned around.
"Are you...Vincent Webb!?" She stared at him wide eyed, waiting in anticipation. The teacher even stopped writing on the board and cocked his ear trying to listen.
He smiled kindly and answered nonchalantly. For a human, he was a very handsome person. "I get that a lot actually. I wish I was him! I'd be loaded and would get to skip math!"
There were a couple chuckles around the room, people were giving the teacher looks. The girl hesitated for a second, before turning back around.
"Alright class...lets begin." The teacher hurriedly scribbled an algebraic equation on the board as his ears turned red.
So I've been gone a long time, but I have obligations that have me busy all the time. I just haven't taken the time to write anything. I'm back to working on these though.
