Kay, so I don't own Twilight. In case you're wondering that's Stephenie Meyer.

**Bella's POV**

The pixie knew. I could just tell. When Mr. Kowskin started class, he decided to introduce me. "Everyone say hello to our new student Bella."

A few people muttered hellos but I could see the pixie nodding in confirmation out of the corner of my eye. Yes, she definitely knew. When Mr. Kowskin began to talk, she did too, too low and fast for the humans to be able to hear.

"Bella, what happened? We thought you were dead and now here you are."

I ignored her, knowing I wouldn't be able to control my emotions if I spoke. Through class she got more and more persistent. As she realized I was ignoring her she became frantic. "Did I do something? I only left because Edward made me, you know that right? I've missed you everyday since."

I had flinched at his name but also pulled my arms off the desk and wrapped them around my chest to keep my heart whole.

This action didn't escape her notice and when the bell rang, neither could I. I stood up to go to the door but to do so I had to pass her and she wasn't going to let me without a word to her.

"Bella, please?" she begged. Her eyes filled with hurt. My willpower began to crumple but at the last second, Ashley flitted into the room.

"Come on Bella. Don't want to make us late…" she stopped when she saw my predicament. "Get away from her," she said seething.

Alice stepped back in surprise and I made a break for it. Reaching Ashley I grabbed her and tried to pull her out of the classroom. She resisted and turned back to Alice. "If you come near her again, I'll rip your throat out," she said quickly, obviously aware the teacher was still in the room.

Then, before Alice could answer, Ashley ended up dragging me out of the room. She had to pull me most of the way as I was not focused on my surroundings. As we reached our next room, she realized I was not ready to go in and pulled me into the nearby bathroom.

"Bella, relax," she told me…again. Why does she keep saying that to me today?

"How can I?"
"Because, it's just Alice. At least it wasn't him. Come on, that was the bell," she said and I took a breath to steady myself, a habit I still had from being human. She waited another 5.2 seconds and I was ready.

We walked into the classroom, attempting to look sheepish. We were only about a minute late. Ashley took the lead. "Sorry we're late. We got lost. I'm Ashley and this is Bella."

The teacher just nodded. "Okay, there are seats open over there."

We sat down and Ashley turned to distract me more, asking about my teachers and classes as if she were my mom. I answered until the teacher gave the class busy work. Then, she came over. I looked up and finally realized what class I was in, German. German 1 to be more exact. I almost grimaced at the idea. I already spoke German, but at least it wasn't Spanish…again. Thankfully this school had been big enough to throw in a few new classes for Ashley and me.

"Sorry about being so short earlier, but I had to get the others started," the teacher was saying. I tuned back in. "Now, how much German do you know?"

Ashley jumped in, "We're actually fairly fluent in German. Our grandparents only speak German so we learned fairly young." This was a lie of course but what could we say. We were vampires who had time to learn almost every language in the world?

The teacher was surprised. "Oh, may I ask why you took German then? We have four other languages available at this school."

Ashley laughed. "If you needed credits, but already was perfect at one of the options, wouldn't you take it?" This was a lie too. We knew the other four languages and had picked at random.

The teacher nodded, understanding and then left us to our own devices for the rest of the period. Finally, the bell rang and Ashley and I headed off to lunch. We pulled out a deck of cards, our favorite means of amusement and began to play. Suddenly, I smelled the scent of four distinctive vampires, all approaching Ashley and I.

Sorry for another cliffy, but I like them. It keeps you coming back. Thanks for all reviews!
