JESSICA POV

I stood with Mike, Eric, Ben and Angela watching the freshman file in for the new student orientation. We somehow got roped into showing any little lost freshman how to get to classes. The guys were being perverted as usual, rating all the girls on 'fuckability'. "Whoa, 10, 10, 10!" Mike said loudly. I turned to see 6 people that clearly stood out in the crowd. They were all gorgeous, 3 guys, 3 girls. They walked confidently and gracefully through the crowd towards the back of the auditorium, sitting together.

"I met them, they just registered yesterday. The big guy, the one with the longer hair, and the blonde girl are the Cullens, the others are the Hales. They just moved here with the Cullen's parents. They must be loaded, because Mr Cullen dropped 6 full tuitions and a 'donation' to make sure they got registered in time." Angela said as we all stared at them. They seemed in their own world, not looking nervously around like the other new students. They sat calmly, talking softly to each other. They looked like royalty.

After the orientation was done, there was mass chaos as the freshman filed out into the large quad. Some stood staring at their schedules, some went back towards the dorms, and some ran around like chickens with their heads cut off as they rushed to their first class. The Cullens/Hales were standing with each other, casually talking, looking like an Abercrombie ad. "Come on, lets go introduce ourselves to my future ex girlfriend." Mike said waggling his eyebrows in the direction of the tall blonde girl. I rolled my eyes at him, but I was curious, and the guys WERE hot. "Hi, I'm Mike, and this is Eric, Ben, Angela and Jessica. Do you guys need any help finding your classes?" Mike said flashing what he called his 'panty dropping' smile at the group.

"I think we can manage thank you." The one that was about the size of a grizzly bear replied. "I'm Emmett, this is my brother Jasper, and my sister Rosalie." He motioned to each one as he introduced them. "Virginia, Alice, and Edward" He finished.

"Not related to him." Alice chirped playfully. "Thank goodness!" Emmett took a lazy swipe at her and she jumped out of the way. I looked at Jasper. He was very fuckable. That hair, mmmm. Edward gave me a crooked, knowing smile. It took me by surprise, he was behaving like I had said that out loud.

Eric was busy making a fool of himself talking to Virginia, holding her class schedule, he spoke to me. "Hey Jess, she's in Dance 4 also."

"Are you sure that's right?" I asked, taking the schedule and looking at her. "That's a junior/senior class... Annette rarely takes sophomores, much less freshman."

Virginia shrugged, "I missed the auditions, so I have to go by tomorrow before class to officially be accepted, so we'll see." She had a slightly pained look on her face, I thought she was probably nervous, first day of college and all that. Jasper placed a hand on her shoulder, whispering something to her. Were they 'together'? I hoped not, and I could see that Eric was wondering the same thing.

"So Rose, can I call you Rose..." Mike began.

"No." Rosalie said abruptly, cutting him off. Angela and I snickered.

"I'm sorry, Rosalie, my frat is having a party on Saturday, I would love for you all to come by."

She smiled politely, "we'll check our schedules. Right now, we have to go, wouldn't want to be late." The group walked away still looking more like a group of models than students.

"Damn. I've got to tap that." Mike said. We all groaned.

VIRGINIA POV

The day had gone fairly smoothly, and I had one class left, Organic Chemistry. It was the only class besides dance that I didn't have one of the clan in with me, it made me kind of nervous. My cravings were controllable, but it was nice knowing that IF I needed it, there was someone who could stop me if I lost it. I walked in with only a minute to spare. This was by far my smallest class, only 11 other students, all paired up at lab tables. I wrinkled my nose as a horrid smell hit me. It was like a wet dog, only a thousand times worse. I walked to the only open seat, and much to my dismay, the source of the smell was my desk mate. He didn't look too happy to have me around. He glared at me, then straight forward. "I'm Virginia." I said, trying to be friendly to the unfortunate smelling boy. He looked to be Native American, was in great shape, very tan, and good looking. "Jacob." He answered curtly. As the professor started lecturing, I tried to ignore the smell, but it was just awful. As the class end drew near, I saw the angry boy next to me scribble something down in his notebook, turning it slightly towards me.

MEET ME AT THE SMOKE PIT BEHIND THE BUILDING AFTER CLASS

Hmm... as a human there would be no way I'd go anywhere alone with a strange guy, but... I knew I was much stronger than he could ever imagine, and I wanted to know why he was the only person I had come across that seemed repelled by me. The professor released us a few minutes early, and Jacob jumped up, running outside. I walked slowly, trying to remember how to look 'natural'. I got to the smoke pit, and Jacob was pacing back and forth. He saw me approach, and motioned for me to follow him into the woods surrounding the school. I walked in a little ways to a clearing where he stopped. The muscles in his back were clenched. "Bloodsucker." I heard him hiss between his teeth, so lowly, that there was no way a human could hear.

"Excuse me?" I said, taking a step back.

"You heard me." He said, whipping around, anger in his eyes. "Why are you here?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about..." I said, my voice shaking. How did he know?

"Are. You. A. Vampire?" He said, spitting each word out slowly.

"What?" I said, hoping I was a decent actress. He ran at me, much more quickly than any human, and grabbed my arm roughly. Instinctively, I grabbed him with my free hand, and pulled him off, throwing him into a tree across the clearing.

"I guess that answers that question." He said snarling at me. My eyes widened as he transformed into a giant wolf and ran straight for me.

JACOB POV

I ran at the vamp, my teeth bared. Her eyes were wide with fear, and surprise. I could tell by her smell she was a newborn, so where was her sire? She jumped out of the way of my tackle, but missed my retaliation and I threw her on her face as I slammed into her back. "Stop!" She yelled, as my claws dug into her back, flipping over and kicking me off of her. She was strong, as all newborns, but I could tell she didn't have much fighting experience, if any. I growled at her, and she hissed, looking slightly surprised at the noise. "What are you? I haven't hurt anyone, just stop!" She pleaded. I paused, cocking my head to the side. What was up with this leech? Why was she in a school, and why weren't her eyes red? I wanted answers slightly more than I wanted to rip her apart, so I changed back.

"Start talking." I said stone faced.

"I don't know what's going on... I just... I didn't ask for this." Virginia's voice trembled, and she started crying. CRYING!

My face softened at the beautiful thing in front of me, in obvious distress. "Hey, just tell me what's going on. How did you get here?"

"The Cullens. They took me in. We just moved here."

I groaned. The Cullens. The one vamp family we had a treaty with. "You don't drink human blood?"

She shook her head, wiping her tears off her face. Thank God she stopped crying.

"Our pack and your family needs to meet, we need to discuss the treaty." I told her.

She nodded at me. "Where?"

"The woods at the border of La Push and Forks. I'm sure you will be able to smell us. 2 hours." I told her as I walked away.
