Here's another chapter.
Thanks to the ones following this story. A teeny-tiny review would be nice? I'd like to know what I can improve.
Anyways, enjoy..

Chapter 2

The day has come. School went crazy over the new students. There were five of them, utterly beautiful and utterly to themselves. What a bummer for Lauren and her clique because they were all over them but the siblings obviously held no interest in them. Also, word spread that most of them were in a relationship with each other, except for one guy apparently. There's been a bunch of gossip all day long but I tried to ignore most of it. I didn't hold an interest in new students. It's not like I'd be the one to make them feel welcome. I'm a loner myself.

Biology came and Mr. Banner paired everyone up. While he was working his way through the names I tried to guess which poor soul would be paired up with me. There was a tiny girl, spiky black hair, high pitched voice. Next to her a lanky, shaggy blonde haired boy, obviously her boyfriend and next to them sat a copper haired boy. Medium sized, beautiful –an incarnate Greek god.

I kinda hoped I wouldn't get one of the couple. They'd hate me for separating them. But then I'd have to work with the god itself. I hate life.

"Jasper Hale, I'm going to ask you to work with the wonderful Miss Swan. And Miss Cullen, you'll work with your brother." To my surprise there was no groaning or protesting, they accepted his decision without complaining. "Ok guys, pair up now, get to know each other or whatever. I'll go ahead and explain what you have to do, then you can switch places." I was pumped. Oh how I love getting to know new people. Cough.

Our assignment numero uno was about metamorphosis with some stupid experiments, for numero dos we had to create a family tree as far back as we could but at least back to the early 1900's. It was an ok-assignment, much work but lots to learn.

Then it was time to get together. Jasper moved over to where I sat, sitting down next to me.
"Hello, my name's Jasper." I was able to detect a slight southern accent while he introduced himself with an almost calming voice. I got nervous though, not knowing how best to introduce myself.

I quickly pointed to the name on my folder, letting him read it before pointing at my chest and then zipping my mouth. He looked confused for a second before understanding dawned on his face.

"You don't speak?" He asked, obviously flabbergasted. I shook my head no for confirmation and pulled out a sheet of paper.

Sorry Mr. Banner paired you up with me. I'm sure he would agree to pair you up with the other two if I'd ask him to. No problem.

I quickly pushed the paper in front of him and let my hair fall between us as a curtain. I felt embarrassed.

"Oh no, it's not a problem, really. Actually, I know some sign language. My grandpa was mute. Maybe I still know enough for us to communicate, it'll be fun to refresh my knowledge." I looked at him in bewilderment, probably gaping for that matter. I realized this and blushed a deep shade of red. "Come on now, don't give me that look. –So, how old are you?"

'Seventeen' I signed carefully, it was awkward to talk sign language with him. I didn't know how far his knowledge went.

'I'm seventeen also.' He lightly smiled after signing this.

'Nice to meet you.' I replied, quietly wishing for time to pass faster. I had no desire of communicating though this Jasper seemed to be nice –for now. He'd hear rumors soon, realize that I was not worth a second thought and that's when this team work was going to really suck.

"It's nice to meet you too." He said now since I was looking away. "Hey uh... what homeroom are you in?"

'The principles.' From the moment I looked at his face I realized he didn't get it. So I wrote it down. The principles, Mr. Danzhol.

"Me and two of my siblings are in that one too. Alice is in it with me and Emmett." I nodded, acknowledging him. We were silent for a while.

Sorry, I'm not really good at small talk.

"Nothing wrong with being shy." He seemed to assure. "What do you have next?"

'PE, you?'

"AP History. But Alice has PE now too, maybe you could walk her there?"

'I don't think that's such a great idea.' He looked like I insulted him –or maybe his girlfriend? – so I quickly added 'I'm not very well-liked. I'm bad company for newcomers.'

"Why don't they like you?" He asked, confused.

'There are rumors.' I shrugged. 'You'll hear about them, tomorrow at the latest, promise.' I replied sarcastically.

"Well, we couldn't care less, I'm sure. We usually keep to ourselves anyways."

I sighed. 'Sure, if she wants me to I'll walk with her.'

"Hi! I'm Alice, you're Isabella, right? It's all so exciting, isn't it?" Alice squealed as Jasper led me toward her.

Huh? What in the world is exciting about a biology project?
'It's Bella.' I signed after turning to Jasper.

"Oh, you don't speak?" Alice asked immediately. I turned back to her again and shook my head. She grinned widely. "Oh I'm perfect in sign language! I'm so much more advanced at this than Jasper!"

"Hey!" Jasper complained but he didn't really seem bothered by it because he still smiled lightly.

"Anyway! This is Edward, FYI." Edward –the handsome Greek god. I thought to myself and came to the conclusion that the name suited him well.

'Nice to meet all of you. We've got to go, though or we'll be late.'

"Sure, I'm sorry. –Alice, Bella has PE with you. I'll see you later ok?" He leaned down to her and kissed her chastely before disappearing with Edward who still hadn't said a word.
