I hope you like this one, it's about the Cullens first day at a new school. This one is supposed to be humorous, so I got the humor all right. :D Just as a warning this one does have a little swearing in it, so just so you know. I hope I didn't make them seem like jerks, especially Emmett. I just tried to make him really protective, because he is. So, I hope I did okay with all that, and I hope you like it! (P.S. This isn't Forks, it's supposed to be the school they attented before that, though I'm not sure what it was, or if they mentioned what it was.) Thanks so much for reading! :D

EmPOV
It was the first day of our new school, a dreaded occasion for all members of my little family.
We pulled up in Rosalie's M3, trying to ignore the stares that were focused on us. We were used to it though.
We got out of the car quickly, and strode towards the administration building.
I suppose we were a little intimidating to the humans. Designer labels on all our clothes, the best cars money could buy, a huge house. We weren't the most modest creatures in existence. Not to mention the impeccable good looks. Okay, yeah, we were damn intimidating.
Not that we were so lucky to avoid a few oddballs who took it upon themselves to attach themselves to us like leeches (Oh, the irony!). After a couple of days at most we were able to shake them though, and they never crossed our paths again.
And, of course, there were the little admirers. Whoever said that beauty required sacrifice was damn right.
Not that it was ever anything that we couldn't… take care of.
We passed the humans, and they turned their heads to gawk at us some more. I felt like I was in a corny clique film or something of that sort. Uhh…
We walked into the building and I was bombarded by the sweet, tantalizing scent of human blood. It was even worse in a little room like this, and it didn't help that it was packed with students picking up or attempting to change their schedules before the bell rang.
I stopped breathing momentarily, as did the rest of my family as we made our way to the front desk. A small, frail woman sat behind the desk, her chipped, yellowed nails pounding at the outdated keyboard.
She was chewing gum, an obnoxiously loud habit for us immortals. I strained myself to keep from grimacing at the sound, and the repulsive smell of bubblegum.
Edward stepped forward.
"Hello ma'am. We're the Cullens, new this year, and we need our schedules. Could you be so kind to help us with that?" Ah Edward, ever polite, even to the obnoxious humans.
The woman looked up slowly and her bored expression changed to one of glee. O joy. Another way too old lady attracted to us, just what we needed. Jasper and I took this opportunity to put our arms around our respective mates, showing we were taken. This usually deterred the attractions at least a miniscule bit, though I felt somewhat bad for Edward. But only somewhat. These attractions could make themselves out to be very humorous affairs, a distraction from the ordinary, bland day…
The woman's hand shook as she handed each of us our schedules. I couldn't restrain myself from smirking this time, and I turned my head so the woman didn't see.
Once we each had our schedules we quickly left the administration building.
I compared schedules with my "siblings". I was pleased, as was Rose, to realize we had five out of nine of our classes, better than years past. The classes I didn't have with Rose I had with Alice, Jasper, or Edward. Excellent.
Just as I was about to suggest that we head into the building, a human approached. A male.
His heart was beating furiously, and he was sweating and flushing. Ahh… the boy had a little crush on our ladies…
"H-h-h-i," he stammered, staring at the ground.
"I was wond-d-er-ring if you ne-e-e-d-ed me to s-s-show you l-l-a-dies around-d?"
I think he was having a panic attack. Or a heart problem. If he collapsed, I was not going to call the ambulance.
He looked up again to look at Rose and Alice.
They were trying to keep from laughing. Poor boy.
Alice finally gained control of herself, and said as sweetly as she could, "I'm sorry, but I think our boyfriends will help us." She smiled apologetically and turned to Jasper, to indicate that she was in fact taken.
The boy nodded quickly. Maybe it was a seizure? Edward guffawed next to me.
"Stay out of my head!" I screamed mentally as loud as I could.
I smiled as Edward winced. That'll teach'im.
The boy walked away quickly, staring at his feet. He somewhat resembled a frightened rabbit… or maybe a squirrel…
As soon as he was out-of-earshot, we all started cracking up. If I was human, I would have had tears in my eyes. Yes, we weren't exactly the most sympathetic either. But if you had adolescents worshiping you year after year after year, you'd kind of lose your sympathy for them. Just saying.
We resumed walking, trying to control our laughter, when we were interrupted yet again by another human boy. Uh…
This one was more confident than the last though. He walked with what could have been perceived as a bad boy strut, by a human anyway. To a vampire, he just looked like an injured badger, swaggering out of control. He had a stupid grin on his face, and it was quite obnoxious. If I could just wipe it off his little pathetic human face…
Edward elbowed me and glared. I smirked and turned my attention back to the boy.
He was approaching Rose. O, this oughta be good…
"Hey," he said, "can I talk to you for a minute?"
Rose looked to me out of the corneer of her eye, and I nodded ever so slightly, still smirking. Finally, some action.
She turned her attention back to the boy and said sweetly, "Sure!"
They began to walk ahead of us.
The boy said something, and Rose laughed. I was trying my best to resist the urge to walk faster and push him into the nearby mud pond. See if he thought that was so humorous…
And then he put his arm around Rose.
She stopped walking and turned her head around to look at me, the boy's arm still around her.
"O Emmett, can you come here a minute?" She called, a sickeningly sweet tone of voice. I grinned evilly and approached them. The boy glanced back and did a double take when he noticed how big I was. O yes, this was definitely going to be fun.
"Introduce yourself honey," she said, her voice still sweetly.
"I'm Emmett," I growled, enjoying this, "and I'd appreciate it if you took your damn arm off my girlfriend."
The boy quickly took his arm from around Rose's shoulders.
"Hey baby, could you give us a sec?" I asked Rose.
She nodded, smiling, and flitted back to where the rest of our family was watching the display was watching with amused looks on their faces.
I smiled at her and turned back to the fiend. No smile on my face now.
"So, as I was saying," I began, still growling, "you better stay the hell away from her, or you'll be sorry. Alice too. Our family is very protective of each other, and when someone messes with one of us… well… let's just say there was a reason that we transferred so quickly from our last school. You understand?"
The boy nodded furiously, a frightened look in his eyes.
I laughed and clapped him on the back, before turning back to my family.
I strode over to them casually, feeling the boy's eyes still trained on my back. Little coward.
I reached them and immediately swept Rose into my arms and kissed her.
She ran her fingers through my hair and I moaned slightly.
I watched the boy quickly walk away out of the corner of my eye, no doubt moving on to claim his next little victim.
Hey, I'm not a jerk or anything, if that's what you're thinking. I just liked protecting my wife from all the obnoxious adolescents out there. Cause, I like to think of her as my flower. My beautiful, delicate, Rose. And flowers can't just survive on their own. They need a protector. That's me.
I hope you liked it, and please review to tell me if you did! Thanks for reading! :D
