I woke up to the sound of the fucking hair dryer. Honore was down the hall from me and I could still hear that shit. I groggily got up and went to get ready for school.

School. How different it would be from the previous schools I attended. No uniforms and hopefully no hot, young English teachers. I smiled to myself, remembering that whirlwind three month romance between me and Mr. McGee. But I had to forget about him and his conniving ways. I mean, he wasn't going to come back into my life, right?

I changed into a peasant top that was a size too big for me, and grey school girl skirt, white thigh high socks, and black Mary Janes. I always wore tops too big because they would hide my extremely skinny frame. I didn't have dance for an excuse, I had a fast metabolism. Probably.

I ran downstairs to be greeted by Skandar. He had a blue shirt and a gray hoodie over it with jeans and tennis shoes, the norm. Now I see Honore, who is wearing tight jeans, purple flats, a nice white blouse, and our old school blazer. I loved that sweater, who doesn't love purple? Tamir had on designer jeans, and a black shirt with a black sweater. Xavier and Violet came down together. Violet had on a dress that the top had small flowers, the bottom was a forest green color. She also had on forest green flats. Xavier had on jeans, blue Converse, a plaid shirt and under it was a plain grey shirt.

"Very conservative for the first day," I said, as we were eating breakfast. I gorged myself because I knew I wasn't going to eat anything for the next day or two. "Well, we have to make a good impression," Violet said, her voice always sounded like a cat's purr.

When we were done, we left the maid to clean the mess and we were on our way to school. Violet and Xavier had their own car so people wouldn't ask questions. When we pulled up to school, everyone stopped to see us. I held Skandar's hand because I knew he would be confronted with the dreaded questions all day long. Honore and Tamir, who was driving, also looked back at him with worry in his eyes. "Don't worry I'll be fine," Skandar said, momentarily surprising us with him speaking. "He's speaking, so he must mean it," Honore said.

We parked in a secluded area and Violet and Xavier soon joined us. "So, what do you think guys? I for one think this school is a piece of shit," Tamir said. "Totally agree, how many people her you think lost their virginity?" Violet asked. "I'd say maybe three, but that's pushing it," Xavier said, chuckling.

We all agreed, and we didn't notice an Asian boy, dressed too smart to be here, come up and startle Honore. "Holy bitching shit!! What the fuck was that?!" Honore yelled. "Oh, I'm so sorry that I scared you," he said, clearly flustered. He continued, "You guys are the new students, right? I'm Eric Yorkie and if you would like, I'll show you around."

"Excuse me, but could you let us deliberate?" Xavier said with a smile. Xavier was gay and absolutely adorable, I consider him my gay best friend. Eric agreed and walked a little away. We eventually said yes.

"So what are your names?" he asked.

"I'm Tamir."

"I'm Violet."

"I'm Xavier, Violet's twin."

"I'm Honore."

"I'm Maxine, and that's Skandar, and we are quadruplets. We're also Violet and Xavier's cousins."

"That's really cool! How come you don't talk Skandar?" Eric asked the dreaded question.

"Don't take it personal, it's just that he's autistic and he doesn't talk much. But he's extremely smart and do not take pity on him," Tamir said, looking very angry, he didn't like anyone making fun of Skandar. Eric was intimidated by that and stopped talking and just led us to the office. There was a woman there; her name tag said Ms. Cope.

"Oh you must be the new students, here are your schedules, make sure to get them signed by each teacher and give them back to me at the end of the day."

With that we went our separate ways. I was starting my freshman year with a class with Violet.

Our first class was English. And who do I see, but Mr. McGee. I momentarily want to run and hide in the bathroom. But he will not see me weak, like I once was. He looks at me like he remembers me, but doesn't know where. Then his eyes widen with recongnization. "Class, this is Violet Cain and Maxine Records. I recognize them from the job I previously worked at. I was an English teacher at St. Scholastica in San Francisco. You can take a seat in the back."

I practically ran to my seat and I slumped down. "I always hated him, he seemed weirdly interested in you," Violet whispered to me. I nodded and tried to drown out his voice. This brought back so many memories about him and me. The dates, the fucking on his office desk, the way he touched me… needless to say, I was scared as fuck.

Words could not describe the feeling I had when the class was over. I didn't even wait for Violet. She came out and Tamir joined me for my next class, Spanish. The teacher was a nice lady, she was big with child. That didn't stop her from staring at Tamir. "Jeez, what the fuck does she thinks she's doing. I draw the line at a pregnant lady. That's just wrong," he whispered to me. Behind us, we heard a giggle that sounded like bells. It was a small girl, about the size of me; she had golden eyes, was extremely pale, and had spiky black hair. "Excuse me, but did you hear our conversation?" I asked. "Oh no, I was just thinking of something my brother said yesterday, I'm sorry," she said. With that, we turned around.

"Hi I'm Jessica Stanley," a girl next to us said and we saw that she was average looking and had her hair in a ponytail. We introduced ourselves and she gasped when she heard our last name. "Are you the kids of Alix and Matt Records? I love Alix's books and Matt's music, it's a shame that he died," she said, with excitement in her voice. We nodded yes and she seemed really excited and asked us to sit with her at lunch. We agreed, only if our other siblings and our cousins could come too. She immediately accepted and she still seemed excited.

"I didn't think anyone knew about Colonel Kernel still," I said to Tamir. "You are sometimes so stupid Maxine, Colonel Kernel is up there with Nirvana, with the bands that ended too soon," he replied. I immediately understood and kept quiet. Then he decided that he was going to chat up Jessica. I tuned that out; I didn't need to see that.

By the time Spanish was over, everyone knew that we were the children of Matt Records and the nieces and nephews of Jules Cain nee Records, the band's guitarist. Everyone was rudely asking questions to us about the memories of our long gone father and aunt. And mixed in with those questions were questions of Skandar's autism. Whenever that was brought up, we all looked at the person with death glares. That shut them up. Gym, Art, and Music went by fast and soon it was lunchtime. As planned we sat with Jessica and her friends. She introduced us too Tyler, Angela, Lauren, Eric, Bella, and finally, unfortunately, Mike Newton. He kept on trying to hit on Honore, who silenced him with a blunt statement, "Sorry Mike, I'm a lesbian." He looked flabbergasted, to say the least. All of us tried to stifle our laughter, because she usually said that when she wanted to get a guy of her back. "I might as well, get it off my chest, I'm gay, sorry ladies," Xavier said, and I could swear that all the girls at the table groaned in defeat.

That made most of the lunch period awkward. Except when the Cullens came into the lunchroom. Violet said, "Who are they?" So Jessica filled us in on gossip about them. I tuned it out, only catching their names. According to her, they were together. She thought it was weird, but who were we to judge. For all I knew, Jessica was a shallow bitch, so she shouldn't be judging other people that were clearly in love with each other. Out of curiosity, I looked at the Cullens. I saw the girl from English and she waved at me. I waved back. I heard her name is Alice and her partner is Jasper, the blonde boy. Jasper's twin was Rosalie, who was looking at her reflection and her boyfriend is Emmett, the big boy. Finally there was lonely Edward, the bronze haired boy who was staring at me intently. It seemed that while he was staring at me, that my head started to hurt really badly.

"Does anyone else's head hurt suddenly?" I asked. My siblings and cousins agreed, but no one else said that their head hurted. It seemed to grow more intense when the day droned on. I couldn't pay attention in Trig. But I didn't mind, I always hated that class, even though I was good at it.

My final day of the class was Biology, which I had with Xavier, Skandar, and Violet. "I see we have three new students with us, hmm let's see what we can do…" the teacher said, looking around. "Okay, Bella can be partners with Violet, Xavier and Skandar can be partners, which means that Maxine will be sitting with Edward," he decided. Edward was the same guy that was staring at me during lunch. When I sat next to him, the pain in my head could be described as a woman giving birth, headache style. I must have had a weird look on my face because he asked me, "Are you feeling alright?" He seemed really worried, I must look like shit. "Yeah, I'm fine, I just got this random headache during lunch," I said. "Are you sure?" he asked, concern filling his golden eyes. "I'm fine," I said rather meanly.

We had to work together. Our assignment was to put back the skeleton of an adult cat. I winced, not at the skeleton, but at the seething headache in my head. "Are you sure you're fine, you don't look well," Edward said, with even more concern in his voice. "Yeah, I'm totally fine, no need to-"Then darkness consumed me.

I woke up in the nurse's office with many concerned faces surrounding me. Honore and Tamir looked worried sick, and I was shocked to see Alice and Edward Cullen there as well. But nothing could top the concerned look on Mr. McGee's face, what the fuck was he doing here?

"What happened?" I asked. "You fainted during Biology class and luckily Edward caught you just in time. But your sibling and cousins were not so lucky. Bella barely saw Violet fall, and Xavier and Skandar fell with no one to catch them," Alice explained. "So they have it worse than me?" I asked the nurse. Well they have more bruising on their head but they should be fine," the nurse explained to me. "You should have told me you were not feeling well Maxine," Edward spoke up, and I was startled by the way he said my name. He said it like a painter would say the title of his masterpiece or the first time a mother named their child. "Well, I might have been saved, but what about the others? No one would help them," I replied. He didn't say anything back, so I assumed that he had nothing to say. I didn't see Mr. McGee leave the room suddenly.

"Why was Mr. McGee here?" I asked no one in particular. "I don't actually know, he just came after seeing you carried by Edward," Tamir said. Our attention became diverted by Skandar waking up. We explained to him what happened and we gave him an ice pack. Then Xavier and Violet woke up, another explanation to them. When this was all done, it was time for school to be over. Tamir drove Xavier and Violet home while Honore took Skandar and me home. For the rest of the day, we didn't do much. I said that I wasn't hungry when they asked me to come down to eat.

That night I dreamed of something that I didn't know of. I was in the forest, running away from something. I stopped to hear growling and a thunder likes sound. Then I saw to guys jump out of nowhere and continue their fight in front of me. I couldn't see the people fighting, they were moving too fast. Then the fight ended and there were body pieces all around me. The winner stood up and faced me. It was Edward. He ran up to me and hugged me tightly. "I'm so sorry you had to see that Maxine, I'm so sorry for everything you had to find out about me. I shouldn't have ever told you that I was a vampire. I'm so sorry, I love you Maxine."

I woke up in a cold sweat and looked around. I felt that someone was watching me. Never mind that, I just had a nightmare that Edward was a vampire!

A little cliffy! I'm a bit worried about how Mr. McGee and Maxine are going to react to each other being there. That is leaving me a bit stumped.
