CHAPTER 7

"Hello, uh. What's your name?" I was shocked. I wasn't used to the humans interacting with us. Or me I should say.

"Alix." I said leaning away from her.

"I'm Brooke." She said blushing again.

"Can you help me?" She asked.

"Uh, sure, what do you need help with?" For all I knew she wanted my help on something I couldn't, WOULDN'T help her with. I sucked in a breath of mouth watering air so I could speak without looking like an idiot or not human.

"I, um, need some help with some of my homework." This is going to be great! Not. Great! Now she needs tutoring. Help her out. Maybe she can go to our house after school! But tell her you would have to ask Carlisle. Don't get her hopes up about romance. I don't think I'll have a choice about the second one. Just looking at me might make her do that. True. Alice thought with a picture of her smirking. You do get your good looks from me by the way. Who's older here? Her mental smirk vanished instantly. That's what I thought. Now it was my turn to mentally smirk.

"Okay." I said. She asked about her homework. I knew the answers and she told me several times that I was the best tutor in the world.

"Oh come on!" She whispered/yelled.

"Where did you go to middle school at? Please tell me you were valedictorian. There is no way you could figure out that problem in one second. Here try this one." She wrote down another problem. What was the square root of pi. I rolled my eyes.

"Easy, it's 1.. I hope that wasn't the best you got because that is the easiest one in the book!" When I was done she stared at me with her mouth hanging wide open along with her eyes gawking at me. I smiled warmly, showing off just a bit, although i might have gone too far when her heart faultered a little bit but that could have been anything.

"H-h-how did you know that?" I decided to tell her the truth.

"I have a photographic memory." Saying the words casually like I had just told her I had black hair. Not too long after our conversation ended, our teacher called the class to order and collected our text books. I gathered up my backpack(Alice picked it out of course)(the style wasn't too bad either if I do say so myself).

"So… I was wondering. Where did you grow up?" She asked after she got her train of thought back. What's up with the 20 questions on my first day? Because if I'm not getting anything other than metaphorically grey head then this is gonna suck. Literally. I was instantly cautious.

"South." I said. I wonder what her reason for asking me all of these questions was. I wasn't the only Cullen she's probably seen and if shes as brave as she is now then i wouldn't be surprised if i'm not the only Cullen she's probably talked to either.

"Me too. I guess that you have to go home now," She stated. She's REALLY brave. "Will I see you tomorrow?" Tomorrow IS Tuesday so i wouldn't ask Alice if there was school tomorrow.

"Yea I guess." How was that? Terrible. But she smiled. Sorry if I'm no Edward. I joked mentally. As we got in the car Edward was peeved, naturally. He sighed.

"That would have happened anyways," Then he smiled, "She would have done the same thing that Bella did. Which is exactly what she's doing. Trying to figure us out. I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to sit next to you tomorrow for lunch." I frowned.

"Yea. That makes me feel A LOT better." What do you think I should do?

"I don't know."

"Ha. That's a first." He let it pass. Me and Alice played rock paper scissors in the back seat while Jasper sat on the left side of Alice supervising. Bella was holding one of Edwards hands in the passenger seat up until we all got out of the car and then when they didn't have the car separating them they went back to holding hands again.

"Hey Esme! Guess what I did at school today!" I yelled into the house. I hardly got a chance to step through the door before she gave me a huge hug. I smiled. When she let me go she asked,

"What did you do? I hope they treated you well there. I was worried that you might not like it since you havent been to school in a very long time." I grinned at her questions.

"I met a girl who asked me for some help on her homework and i told her what the square root of pi was and she just about fell out of her chair in amazement." Esme pulled me and Alice into the house with Edward, Bella, and Jasper on our flanks. She sat down and I sat down on her left while Alice and Jasper sat on her right.

"And yes they did treat me good, there is no need to worry about that or me and my vampire mind." She nodded like she was going to worry anyways.

"Is Carlisle here?" I asked. She shook her head.

"No, sorry dear he's still at work."

"Okay, thanks." I got up and left the house to go catch a last minute snack just in case someone hugged me again.
