Sophie POV

"Thank you, for sharing that with us, Sophie. You may take your seat."Mr. Doffer exclaimed. He and I were not going to get along, if he kept using that over excited tone of voice.

"Who's Mr. Cullen?" They all pointed to the biggest man in the room - the vampire. Perfect. I went noiselessly to my seat and sat down. He didn't even look over.

"Thanks for speaking up." Nothing. "You already know my name, so what's yours?"

Still not turning around he spoke in a voice smoother than silk. "Emmett." I grinned at him.

"Nice to meet you, Emmett Cullen." He wasn't looking at me, but I thought his cheek was raised a little, like he was smiling. I wondered where he had come from, and what he was doing here. That seemed obvious; it rained twenty-four-seven in Forks, which was perfect cover for his shimmering skin.

An attractive male voice (but less so than Emmett's) interrupted my musings. "Hey, Sophie! What's it like to live in Italy?" A blond boy questioned.

"Nicer than here." I rebuked him.

"That's cool!" He kept coming. "My name is Mike, by the way - Mike Newton. It's great to meet you, Sophie." Ew. This guy was hitting on me! Not that he wasn't okay looking - he was just so ordinary. And the way he was looking at my chest, I was positive he was a perv. Great. I already had Jenna, and I didn't need another.

I rolled my eyes. "Sure, great to meet you too."

He smiled hugely. "Do you want me to walk you to class?"

Crap. This was not good. If I said no, I might be excluded by the rest of the Forks High School population. If I said yes, I could have myself a future boyfriend. Mike was not boyfriend material.

"Sorry, Mike, Emmett here already asked me." Emmett snapped his head up in surprise.

"Oh. Maybe next time, then?" He looked really disappointed.

"Sure Mike. Maybe next time." Yup, next time I want to commit murder suicide, I would definitely be calling him.

"So I'm walking you to class?" Emmett addressed me in the voice I already loved. I smiled back at him.

"I guess so." He looked puzzled.

"So that wasn't just to get rid of Mike?" He was smiling now too, his dimples were adorable.

"Mostly it was, but I lost my map, so you're stuck with me." His booming laugh echoed around the classroom. Several students jumped.

"What if I say no?" Like that was even possible now. I had never wanted anything more than to walk with him in my life.

"You won't." He stopped laughing and looked at my strangely.

"How can you be so sure?" Because I'm one of the most powerful people in this school aside from yourself.

"I have a gift for getting what I want." He stared at my shockingly green irises, probably to see if they too, were masked in contacts. I looked back into his beautiful amber eyes, and held his gaze. He cracked a cocky smile. Emmett thought he was going to win this staring contest, he had no idea.

When I set out to win something, I don't lose. Ever. It didn't look like Emmett was into losing either. He stared as intensely into my eyes as I stared into his. We stayed like that for more than a minute.

"Ahem!" Mr. Doffer cleared his throat.

"Damn!" Emmett cursed under his breath. He turned away from me.

"I know it's exciting to have a new student with us, so I'll give you this period to get acquainted. But tomorrow, I want you ready to learn, alright?" He turned and started writing next class's history notes on the board.

"Thank you, Mr. Doffer!" rang out around the room. Mike waved at me from his seat. Some of my classmates, mostly guys, tried to approach me. Thankfully the look Emmett gave them sent them all packing.

"So it looks like I won." A huge smile stretched across my face.

"Only because I was distracted, if I wasn't you would've gone down!" It looked like he enjoyed competition as much as I did. That was good. It would be even better if I could understand what he was doing here, and if I was putting myself and Jenna in danger by talking to him. Being normal was now definitely out of the question. Of course, it wasn't much of a shock.

"So, what do you do around Forks for fun?" I tried to make small talk. Was I doing it right? I had never done this kind of thing before.

"You know, normal stuff." He was avoiding the topic.

"Are there hunters around here?" I took in his perfect features. His black curly hair was such a standout against his ivory skin. His dimples were still evident even though his expression was blank.

"Why? Do you hunt?" Worry clouded his face. His brow furrowed. What was wrong? I didn't hunt, I was just curious about his eating habits. I was starting to get the impression he didn't eat humans. Aro had told me once about "vegetarian" vampires, bout how they abstained from the blood of humans, and instead fed off animals. Maybe his strange golden eyes were a characteristic of this new breed of vampire.

"Nope, I'm a bit of a pacifist actually." I smiled up at him.

He seemed to be smiling just as much as I was. "Well then, you wouldn't like my brother much. He's very warlike."

I laughed, Emmett still had no idea who he was dealing with. "I'm sure I could take him. What kind of war does he prefer?" I was also a bit of a history buff - it happens when you have no social life.

His eyes danced. "Civil."

Hmm. "Union or Confederate?"

"Confederate. Which side are you?" he treated the conversation as if the war was still going on. Perhaps his brother was from the civil war time frame. That could be interesting.

"Union, naturally."

He extended his gargantuan hand."Welcome to the Union, soldier." I placed my small tan hand in his and shook it. The unnaturally cold skin didn't bother me in the slightest, it actually felt nice.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mike watching us. My hand still in Emmett's I waved to him. And grinned as he huffed off to sit next to a girl who looked like she was literally going to sink into the book she was reading.

"Who is that Mike Newton?" I narrowed my eyes at the name. Even in my head it sounded disgusting.

"He's a pervert! Don't hang out with him." Emmett growled.

"I wasn't planning on it…Wait, how do you know he's a perv?" Mike hadn't said anything to me, perhaps Emmett knew something I didn't.

"Right now." He balled up his fists. "He's talking with his friend Ryan over the head of that girl Sarah, about which of them gets you, and which one gets your sister, Jenna. Also, he thinks you have a nice chest." He finished rather matter of factly.

"That's disgusting." Maybe if I killed him now, people would just think it was new kid jitters.

"Do you want me to break his legs for you?" he looked hopeful.

"No. I think I can handle him myself." Yes, I could handle this perv. Living with the Volturi had taught Jenna and I a thing or two about fighting. A few good kicks to the groin would take care of him. He watched me as I pondered different ways to dispose of his body. A small smile played around my lips as I thought about Emmett.

The shrill bell rang then, and interrupted my beautiful thoughts.

Thanks for reading!!!! R&R and I'll love you forever!!!!!!
