So I think you should review if you have favorite-d and alerted because otherwise I don't know if you like it. You do realize I can name and shame right? I get e-mails about these things :).

Much Love,

I never meant to start a war,

You know I never wanna hurt you,

Don't even know what we're fighting for,

Why does love always feel like a battlefield.

I woke up on Monday morning all warm and snuggly. Then again that might have had something to do with the werewolf still snoring lightly next to me. I was all cuddled up into Paul's chest looking up at him. He looked so innocent when he was sleeping. Paul. Innocent. Just the thought had me shaking in silent laughter. Fuck I was getting stitches but I didn't want to wake him up. Bless him. Sam and Emily hadn't been to happy that he fell asleep last night while we were watching a movie in my room but since they knew it would be almost impossible for me to wake Paul up they felt pretty confident we wouldn't get up to anything inappropriate. Pah. I'm pretty sure if I wanted to get up to anything 'inappropriate' I'd manage to wake Paul. But as it happens I don't want my future brother in law knowing what I look like naked. Yet, at least. So they have nothing to fret about.

I kissed Paul softly on the lips before trying to sneak away to have a shower. Note to self, it is as impossible to sneak away from a sleeping werewolf whose arms are around you, as it is for a girl to pee standing up. Possible, but really fucking hard. Seriously, the more I tried to move the tighter Paul pulled me to him. I will fucking get my shower if it kills me. I tried to move closer and slip out. I managed to get out of his vice like grip. SCORE!! I punched the air with my fist and began to attempt to fall out of my single bed. Good it was a large single bed really because it was almost to small for Paul on his own. I have to cuddle right up to him to manage to sleep. Lucky he holds onto me tight so I don't fall out, also lucky he didn't crush me and I didn't overheat. Anyway I was just about to scrabble off the bed when I was yanked backwards forcefully and pulled tight against Paul once again.

"Where DO you think your going?" He said as if I was breaking the law or something. Seriously I just wanted a damn shower.

"To get a bloody shower. Now would you please let go of me?" I asked, quite nicely for my usual grumpy morning self.

"Nooo."

"Paul….please. Please Paul." I crooned in a baby voice flipping over and looking up at him pouting.

He cracked open an eyelid and peered out at me bleary eyed. Aww bless him, he looked so cute.

"Do not use the puppy dog face on me woman." He threatened.

I intensified the cuteness. "Pllllllllllleeeeeeease."

He huffed at me and reluctantly unwound his arms. "Fine."

I jumped out of the bed. "Fuck it's freezing!" I exclaimed shivering slightly.

He went to pull me back into bed. "No. We have school today and I'm pretty sure I don't need to be late on my first day because I was laying in bed with you."

"Well I think that sounds like a reasonable excuse."

"I don't think Sam will see it like that. Do you?"

"You know what…go get your shower."

I grinned at him and pecked him on the cheek before skipping out of the room for a hot shower. It didn't take me long, mostly, as sad as it sounds, because I wanted to be back to see Paul. I jumped out of the shower and got dressed, applying a little make-up because I wanted to look nice, DAMN PAUL AND HIS INFLUENCE!, and then I quickly dried my hair.

That took the longest in itself it was like thirty minutes because I have thick hair. I contemplated straightening it but I knew that would also take ages. Nope I'll stick with the 'big' look today. I fluffed it up and skipped down the stairs. Rice Crispies here I come.

Everyone was in the dining room, as they always are when there's food around. I sat down after wrestling the rice crispies off of Quil who might have been trying to set a new record for most amount that fit in a bowl.

"Your hair is all fluffified today." Matt commented, "Looks nice."

I smiled at him, "Thank you." And then I caught the filthy look Paul was giving him and rolled my eyes.

Now this is why I didn't want them to know about Matt. Paul will never trust me around him. In fact I think it's going to cause arguments because Matt and I are pretty damn close. I poked Kim in the side. We were sitting as far away from the boys as possible, up by Emily and Leah. Kim looked round at me frowning and I motioned to Paul with my head, she shook her head and poked Emily who rolled her eyes and poked Leah who threw a spoon at him. I have no idea how but he flicked his hand up and caught it, then, sent it spinning back towards Leah. She didn't manage to react quickly, probably focusing on breakfast and got hit in the face. Everyone was waiting for the reaction, for her temper to flare and for them to have an argument. Just as it was probably about to start I laughed. Leah glared over at me but I really couldn't stop laughing because she had milk all down her face where the spoon had hit her. Everyone else of course was sensible enough, or just plain frightened of Leah enough, not to laugh. But I couldn't help it. Seth was sitting across from me making a cutting off motion at his neck trying to get me to stop but I really couldn't control it. Leah got up from the table and began to walk round to me. I jumped out of my seat too. Still giggling. We started to circle the table.

"Leah you would laugh if it was me." I said.

"That's completely irrelevant."

"Is not."

She suddenly started to run at me, so of course I legged it away from her. But she caught me. Damn werewolf, and slugged me in the shoulder. I heard a small pop.

"SHIT!" I shouted. My arm felt like it was fucking burning. "Leah, I am not one of the indestructible, cannot feel pain unless hit with a crowbar boys, I actually am human." I said.

"I didn't mean to hit you that hard." She said looking worried.

Paul was glaring and shaking slightly.

"Fucking hell I think you dislocated my bloody shoulder."

"What?!" Paul screamed.

"Calm down Paul." I said to him. "No biggie."

"James, do the honors?"

"Certainly."

James moved towards me. "WAIT!" I looked over at Paul who had shouted.

"What?"

"What's he gonna do?"

"He's going to pop it back in."

"Won't that hurt?"

"Like a bitch. Makes grown men cry. But seriously it's better James than anyone else, Matt'd break my arm, so would Aj and Joe does it so slow it canes. This is not the first time things like this have happened and it probably won't be the last." I said reassuringly yet truthfully.

There was no point lying to him because I would swear like a sailor when it was popped in and it would hurt all day but I didn't want him leaving it because it had to be done, of course I lied a little, the worst that has popped out before is my fingers, but he does not need to know that.

James took my shoulder and arm in his hands. "Ready?"

"Do I look fucking ready?" I asked knowing I'd gone kind of pale.

"Not at all." He replied. And with that he snapped it back into place.

"FUCK! SHIT! OH BOLLOCKS! GOD FUCKING HELL! SON OF A BITCH!" I screamed.

There was a small pop. "All done."

"Oh Jesus, thank fuck for that." I said rolling my sore shoulder. "Leah if I didn't think it would break my hand I'd fucking punch you right now."

"Sorry." She replied meekly.

"S' alright."

Paul came over to me and put his hot hand on my shoulder, I leaned into the touch slightly, it felt so bloody good because it made the pain disappear. I turned and kissed him. I could feel him smiling into the kiss, which thinking about it, he has done every time we've kissed.

Somebody loudly cleared their throat. I turned around surprised to see it was Emily.

"Still my little sister. Unnatural." She said.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Please, you're my older sister and I have to watch your sickly sweet, makes me feel all uncomfortable moments with Sam, that's just like eww. And it feels like I'm intruding on something."

"So don't watch then." Sam threw in.

"Touche."

"You're going to be late." Emily said looking at the clock.

"SHIT!" Everyone shouted running out the door grabbing our bags as we went.

I hopped in the Jeep on reflex and Paul glared at me slightly as all the cars pulled off. Oh yeah I was going to have to do some grovelling.

"You do realize school has not even started yet and I have managed to piss off Paul?" I said to the boys.

"You just have that affect on people." Joe said as we pulled up outside reception.

The school was a small set of scattered buildings and a large field, with a hall on the side of it that must be for football and such. We all traipsed inside reception.

"Hello we're the new kids." Aj said to a small old woman with curly white hair.

"Ahh yes, I'm guessing Miss Young is the female?"

"Was it the MISS part that tipped you off?" I replied sarcastically. School and I do not mix well.

She frowned at me. "Dear if you have that attitude you'll be finding yourself in detention before long." She said handing me a slip and a schedule before passing the same to the others. "Just bring the yellow slip back here at the end of the day signed by all of your teachers."

We nodded and left the reception. Aj re-parked the Jeep in the student parking lot and we heard a bell sound.

"Time to go and face the masses?" James asked.

"I should presume so." I replied in a posh voice.

He grinned lazily at me while we strolled towards the buildings. Joe and I had first period together and we were a year lower than James, Aj and Matt so we diverted away from them to find building three.

It took us a good five minutes but we found it eventually. 'English Lit - Mr Griffin.' I read the plaque as we got to our room. I gave a crazy big smile up at Joe.

"Do not make a family guy joke or you will get detention, I can almost guarantee it." Joe said. I knew he was finding it hard to resist himself.

"You are no fun." I moaned pushing open the door.

The teacher was an old, balding man with large spectacles that had slipped half way down the bridge of his nose. When he turned to look at us he pushed them back up.

"Ah you must be, Miss Young and Mr Call I presume?"

"Unless your expecting anyone else…I would presume so too." I replied.

He chuckled, "A sense of humor I like that. Okay, Miss Young you take the seat at the back next to Mr West there and Mr Call you can sit right here next to Mr Bailey."

Oh great opposite sides of the classroom. I made my way towards the back bench and sat down. I was next to a creepy looking guy. He was quite dark skinned like most Quileutes but more pasty looking if that's possible. He also had weird stringy hair and a large hooked nose. All in all, not a looker. Flinging my bag on the table I began to ruffle through trying to find a pen. I found a notebook no problem because I always have one of those but a pen is a completely different matter altogether.

"Pen, pen, pen." I muttered to myself.

I was amazed by all the complete shit in my bag. I mean I have a wrench in here but a pen, no that would just be waaay too normal.

"Aha!" I found a small pencil. "I am so going to have to borrow a pen at lunch." I muttered again frowning at my tiny chewed pencil which must be the size of half my little finger at most. It was completely dented with teeth marks where I zoned out and chewed on the end before it got this small.

I shook my head to clear my worries for the moment and looked up to focus on the teacher. Actually I failed everything at my last school. I have attention deficit disorder or ADD so my mind just kind of wonders off. I was hardly ever passing even when James put in fifty hours of revision with me, I might know what to write but something gets lost in the translation from my head to the paper. Also I'll know what I'm meant to do but I just get distracted and then the test is over. I fail at everything. My school actually said if I graduated it would be a miracle. They thought for finals they'd try to swing it so I could do them orally, because then you can't really get distracted without the examiner being like, "so carry on", and they were hoping that would mean I'd pass. But I don't know. I really don't have high hopes for my future. I'm pretty useless. Maybe I'd be a good housewife…minus the obsessive cleaning.

A sharp nudge pulled me from my thoughts. I looked up at the teacher who was still droning on about Shakespeare. Not about him then. I twisted my head to the side and realized it was the boy next to me who had nudged me.

"What?" I whispered.

"You're new."

"No shit." I muttered before replying "Oh really? I was wondering why this desk was a different color brown."

"Ooh feisty. Me like."

I frowned at the guy. Seriously I should have slapped him. I could see Joe grinning like he does when he overhears a awkward conversation I'm having.

"Excuse me?" I said.

"What have you got next?" He asked.

I checked the scrunched up piece of paper that was my schedule.

"Remedial Algebra. Mr Warner." Oh great I suck at Algebra.

"Oh me too I'll show you the way, come on." He said standing, it was only then that I realized the class was over.

I pushed everything back in my rucksack. "Erm, I think I'll be alright thanks."

"No I insist."

"It's okay, really."

I pushed passed the guy to Joe.

"What've you got next?"

"AP Algebra. Mrs Smith."

"Damn it! I really am going to kill you for being smart."

The creepy looking guy pushed next to me again. "Come on." He said grabbing my hand and pulling me from the room.

Where the hell is Paul and his overprotective boyfriend antics when you actually need them?

I yanked my hand out of his grasp. "Dude personal space."

He shrugged his shoulders and led me towards the next room. It was in building five. As I walked into the room everyone was throwing paper airplanes and stuff around. I was kind of nervous now.

"There's no seating plan in this class, come on you can sit next to me." Weird guy said, tucking a greasy strand of his stringy hair behind his ear.

A big jock dude that had a ruffled but cool look came striding over, I suppose he was quite cute, looked a little like Ashton Kutcher, but I wasn't finding him that good looking, in fact I was comparing him to Paul in my head. Which is scary since I've been with Paul all of one day.

"Why the hell would a cute new girl like this want to sit next to you greasy?" He asked in a loud voice. "I'm pretty much sure she'd want to sit next to a cool guy like me."

"An air head you mean Johnny?" Asked weird guy.

"You're in this class too butt face."

"But I'm not in EVERY remedial class."

"You wanna watch it." Johnny said shoving the creepy guy into the wall.

A girl in dark clothes and thick black eyeliner waved to me and patted the seat next to her. I gladly rushed over. I would take a weird girl rather than a weird guy any day.

"Hey." I said sliding into the seat next to her.

"Hey. Best to sit while they're arguing and then they'll get over it." She said.

"Thanks. I'm Talla. My friends call me Tally." I said holding out my hand.

"Jessica, friends call me Jessie." She replied smiling and shaking my hand.

Her head was died a bright red colour and she had large green eyes, her lips were quite thin and her nose was really small. She gave off one of those, don't mess with me looks. You know, she was kind of the tall, pretty girl that no one notice. And then when you did notice you thought they were a freak because they wore dark clothing and actually had a personality. Basically she was the individual type. I suppose a cross between a scene kid and an emo if you had to stereotype her.

"So, will this teacher hate me?"

"How bad do you suck at Algebra?"

"Dig a grave and bury it bad."

"Yeah, you'll be hated."

"Lovely."

And she wasn't wrong either. Weird guy did end up sitting near me but only because Johnny wanted to sit at the back and I had sat at the front with Jessie. Which by the way turned out to be a bad idea. I got three detentions. One for not paying attention, one for swearing at him and one for sucking at algebra.

He actually scared me though. Mr Warner was a tall, stocky guy that looked like he wanted to kill you. He entered the room all formidable looking and asked a question in a deep voice. I didn't know the answer. Then during the lesson he was talking to me and I tried to explain I have ADD but apparently everyone says that so it being true makes no difference. He's one of those guys that spits when he talks too so as he's shouting at me I get spit on my face, I wiped it off and was like "Dude you fucking spat on me." So obviously I got in trouble for that. And then I didn't get an answer right all lesson so I got into trouble for that too.

Next I had History, which, weird guy was also in. Joy. That was in building two. I went through that lesson with no problems except weird guy poking me. I'm good at history.

Then there was Spanish which was in the same building. I was in the same class as weird guy for that too but I sat away from him and I'm fluent in Spanish so I could do that no problem. Then it was time for lunch.

"I'll show you where the cafeteria is." Weird guy said, "You can sit with my friends and I."

"As much as I'd love too, I have to sit with my friends."

"But it's your first day here."

"Yes but Emily Young is my sister, she's who I'm living with, her and her fiancée Sam Uley. I know people."

"Fine." He huffed storming off once we reached the cafeteria.

It wasn't hard to spot the guys. I grabbed an apple and made my way over to their table. It was on the edge of the cafeteria, quite far away from everyone else but I could see all the girls wanted to sit there. The guys had their plates piled high with food and were shoving it down their throats at a rapid rate of knots. I was making my way to their table when a girl stopped me.

She was really tall with peroxide blond hair and due to the posse on the table I supposed quite popular. "Oh no sweetie you can't sit there." She said condescendingly. "Even I'm not allowed to sit there and I'm the most popular girl in school."

"Right, well they're my friends so goodbye." I said moving around her. I was not taking that shit.

I heard her tell her friends to watch me be embarrassed. I suppose she thought they wouldn't let me sit down. Actually it was quite the opposite. There were no chairs when I got to the table but somehow, don't ask how, everyone had finished eating.

"And where am I supposed to sit?" I asked pretending to be offended as I came up behind Paul.

He turned round and pulled me onto his lap. "Right there will do."

Huh I thought he'd still be pissed with me. I shook my head at him and took a bite out of my apple.

"How bad do you think Sam would take it if I had a detention." I knew Emily would be used to it. She's my sister but Sam had standing in the community and I was living under 'his' roof.

They all went silent.

"Please tell me you don't." Jared said.

"Three."

"How DID you manage that?" Quil asked.

"Well, there's this algebra teacher called Mr Warner…"

"Say no more, Sam will be fine." Embry cut in. "Everybody knows he loves giving detention."

"Oh good."

I rested my head on Paul's chest and I heard someone gasp. I turned and looked over his shoulder and it was the peroxide blond.

"Oh yeah, you weren't meant to let me sit here."

They all laughed, "Take no notice, that's Candy. She probably felt very rejected. She wanted Jared and Kim got him. She wanted Paul for ages and all he said was I don't date seriously and now you've turned up and you got him."

"Huh. I can see us having problems." I commented. Still focused on Candy.

"Why?" Seth asked.

"She's got her, I'm going to steal him look on." Kim answered for me. "Not going to work Tally?"

"Snowballs chance in hell."

She laughed, "Who's that coming this way?" Asked Matt.

I turned round and looked across the other side of the table and groaned. "Weird guy."

"That's Gerard, why are you groaning about a weird guy Tal?" Jacob answered and asked confused.

"Why would weird guy come over here?"

"Please tell me you didn't talk to him." Paul said.

"Joe abandoned me with him and he doesn't leave you alone. Why?"

"Because he is not going to leave you alone."

I banged my head on Paul's shoulder.

"Talla may I have a word?" Asked Gerard eying Paul.

"Erm…actually you know…Kim just…asked me to…erm…drive her…home. Yeah that's it. She's ill and stuff so…we'll be going now."

"Oh." He looked kind of shocked. "What do you have next lesson?"

"Biology with Mrs Zane." I said praying he didn't have the same.

"Shame I have Physics with Mr Metford."

"Oh, yes that is a shame well…I'm sure I'll see you…some time…er…later." I said grabbing Kim off of Jared and making a brake for it.

"Where are we going to go now?" She whispered.

"I have no idea." I whispered back.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, weird guy, must stop calling him that so correction, Gerard, wasn't in any more of my classes. I had my detentions Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so after handing our slips in at the school we all drove home. This time I made a point of getting in Paul's car which made him grin like a fool.

"So what are we doing tonight?" I asked Kim when we got in.

"Dinner then Emily's hen night."

"She planned it?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Isn't that like, against the law?" I asked.

Kim laughed at me. Sam and the guys left for the bachelor party right after dinner. Kim, Leah, Hannah, who had come, and I were left waiting for Emily to reveal the destination.

"We're going to see the nutcracker ballet." She announced.

"What? You're meant to get smashed and go to a strip club." I moaned.

"Ha, you're not old enough."

"Fake I.D. you so know that's what the boys are doing."

"We are more mature."

"Ugh."

I didn't really pay any attention to the ballet. It was quite weird. I burst up in silent laughter when the guys came out in tights dancing by themselves and you could see their package. Maybe I'm not more mature. Emily hit me. After we'd dropped Hannah off we were driving back towards ours.

"You wait 'til Paul finds out you wanted to go to a strip club." Leah said laughing.

"Don't you dare tell him that, it is not what I said."

Leah hurtled out of the car and into the house with me hot on her tail. We knew the boys would be back because it was three am it had taken us so long to drive there, watch it and get back. I was raced after her into the house, she bounded into the middle of the living room and took a deep breath, the guys looked up at her, wary. I jumped on her back and clamped my hand over her mouth.

"It's lies. All lies. I did not say it and you will not tell him I did." I said, trying to keep my hand over her mouth.

All the boys perked up at my words and straightened themselves out, looking interested.

"What won't she tell me you said?" Paul asked.

"Not important." I managed to reply quickly.

Kim and Emily had come and were now perched on their respective boyfriends laps.

"I think Paul will disagree." Emily said laughing.

"She's right though you're taking it out of context and twisting her words." Kim agreed with me.

"But that won't matter to Paul when he hears it." Emily giggled.

"You. Are. Evil. Family." I spat out. "I can't believe you want him to be in a mood with me."

"Well you disrespected my ballet."

"Emily, scrawny pasty guys in tights jumping around with stick women."

"It's the arts."

"It's boring." "OWW!"

I screamed and fell off Leah's back.

"You bit my hand no fair."

Leah caught her breath back. "Tally wanted to go to a strip club Paul."

"I DID NOT SAY THAT!" I shouted.

Paul was shaking and glaring at me. I moved over to him.

"Paul…Paul…Paul…Paul…Paul…Paul…Paul." He ignored me and kept turning away. "Well thanks a lot Leah."

"You're welcome."

I am going to kill her.

So what did you think? Soon it will be Emilys wedding and of course also soon a vamp will show, because what kind of crappy twilight fic would this be otherwise?

Pics are on my profile.

Aj, Matt, James and Joe are planning on eating all those who did not review and they say if I'm too nice to name and shame, they will name and shame those who do not review!

Anywho..

Much love,
