School. I looked around. Tons of humans. The smell was almost overbearing. I held my breath. A female human looked at me strangely. School hadn't even started yet and already I was 'the weird Cullen'.

"Jasper Hale," I managed to mumble out to the receptionist. "And my sister, Rosalie." She stepped forward. I can't even say what all the males in the room were feeling. Nothing for a nun to hear, anyway.

"Emmett Cullen," he put his hand round Rosalie's waist. The amount of disappointment I felt made Edward and I chuckle...giving me even more strange looks.

"Alice Cullen." She bounded up to the counter and picked up her timetable. She held my hand, and I felt some disappointment from some females. Huh. The weird one has fans. Edward laughed under his breath before saying "Edward Cullen."

Half the girls gasped. The other half merely widened their eyes so much they were in danger of falling out of their sockets.

We all went to our different classes. My first one was Chemistry. I knew it all, anyway.

As the teacher drone don about hydrocarbons, I felt the emotions of the class.

A girl was almost crying over her methane, because her long-term boyfriend had just broken up with her.

Half the class was bored out their wits – who could blame them?

From the gym, I could feel Emmett. He was finding something hilarious. I could feel his teacher disapproving of his shameless laughter, which I could just hear.

Edward, in History, was amused by the thoughts of his classmates.

Rosalie was pleased about the admiring glances she was getting from the boys in the Algebra class, and the jealous ones she was getting from the girls.

And poor Alice...she longed to join the human girls
