Yes it's been extremely long but I've been waiting all this time for a kind reviewer but sadly I haven't gotten one yet. I'm actually done writing out this whole story, and it's about 26 chapters long and it's got over 130 comments on another site. So, pushing my disappointment aside, I'm just gonna post the remaining chapters whenever I'm not busy. If I do happen to get a review, then I'll post another even if I'm busy.

Thanks.

Chapter Twenty-One: Harmless, right?

Alice's POV

My first day of school was today, correction, in six minutes.

I was expected to get through a whole six hours of being surrounded by mouthwatering humans? Not that I was lacking control, it seemed I still had it from my 'pre-life'. But still, the effort was uncomfortable.

Plus, I didn't know the first thing about human school. But I was strangely excited. This is all so confusing!

"I'll explain on the way, Alice, stop worrying," Edward spoke from beside me, his keys in his hands.

I nodded and grabbed my school bag, following Bella, Renesmee, Jacob and him outside to the garage. We were all going in Edward's Volvo while Jasper, Jamie, Emmett and Rosalie took Emmett's truck. Raphael was staying home for a couple more months; he didn't want to put the humans into possible danger with him being new to this diet and all.

And yes, I'd rather sit in a small car with a stinky werewolf than ride with Jasper. What he did a couple days ago was over the line and I didn't want it happening again.

This morning, Rosalie helped me pick out the most 'first day of school' appropriate outfit. I was now dressed in a comfy pair of dark wash jeans with a pink halter top and classic white jacket completed with silver flats and spiked pixie hair.

Once in the car, I listened intently as Bella and Edward explained all about school and the students in it. We were at Forks High School in a matter of minutes but I think I gathered enough information for one day. As Edward quickly parked, minutes before the bell, we all filed out as Emmett pulled in next to the Volvo.

"Another year of school, another year of blending," Rosalie muttered as she exited the jeep.

I sighed and turned to the various buildings spread across the campus of Forks High.

It's my first day of high school, my first day as a freshman. Apparently I'm not actually fifteen, I'm nineteen, but in order to stay in one area longer, we have to play younger parts. I could pull it off with my size though. Jamie and Renesmee are playing freshmen with me while Edward, Bella, and Jasper are all being sophomores and Jacob, Emmett and Rosalie are posing as juniors. Raphael would also be a sophomore when he chose to enroll.

We all walked towards the school, students stopping to stare as we pass. I guess I'll have to get used to that. With murmured good-byes and kisses between the couples, we separated to our various classes.

I luckily had Nessie in my first period class, English. Bella in my second period art, I think she chose to take the lower level class to keep me company. It's sweet of her. My third class was unfortunately alone, biology. But lunch I had with the whole family, thank god and then my last two classes were with Jamie, mathematics and history.

The morning passed without any interesting or mentionable happenings. Lunch rolled around a lot faster than I thought and soon I was stuck at the Cullen's old table spot from 75 years ago, a tray of untouched food sitting in front of me.

"So, how has school been so far for you shrimp?" Emmett asked from across the table, Rosalie pretty much sitting in his lap.

"It's been pretty boring," I admitted.

"I can second that! This school was slow until Bellsy decided to come along and sweep Eddie off his feet!" Emmett turned to Edward and fluttered his eyelashes at him.

Rosalie rolled her eyes at her husband while I cracked up with Renesmee, Jasper, Jamie and Jacob. Edward looked annoyed but ignored Emmett, turning his attention back to his whispered conversation with his wife.

"Have there been any suspicious thoughts from the humans yet this morning Eddie?" Jacob asked.

Edward shrugged and paused. "No, just our regular 'Oh he's so hot', 'god she's gorgeous', 'dammit he's taken', 'I want her so bad', etcetera."

Rosalie sighed. "It's always the same. That's why Emmett and I flaunt our relationship. We don't want anyone going after either of us."

Edward rolled his eyes. "Yeah, that's why."

"Well, everyone here better know that Nessie is mine," Jacob muttered and wrapped an arm around the back of Renesmee's chair.

"I'm sure they do Jake," she assured him.

"Well, no one here is single anyways. So I don't even know why they try," Emmett mumbled.

"I'm single." Every pair of eyes at our table pointed to me, every pair but Jasper's.

"Uh… yeah, almost everyone is." Emmett glanced uneasily between Jasper and me.

"In coming," Edward murmured, glancing over my shoulder.

I turned in my seat and saw a boy I recognized from my biology class, walking up to our table. He clearly looked nervous, probably from the intimidating looks of Emmett.

"Uh hey, Alice is it?" he asked in a shaky voice.

I smiled, trying to ease the boy's worries. "Yeah and you're Anthony?"

He nodded and visibly relaxed. "Anthony Newton."

A couple gasps could be heard from around my table, but they were far too low for human ears. "It's nice to meet you."

"Yeah, uh you too, um… I was just coming to ask you if you finished that note from bio this morning. I'm really slow at writing and I never got the chance to finish it."

I nodded and smiled again. "Yeah I have the note, would you like to borrow it?"

He grinned. "That'd be great."

"Okay, just come by my locker after school. It's in the south wing, number 143."

"Thanks a bunch Alice." He waved as he walked off.

I turned back to my family and noticed their concerned gazes. "What's wrong?"

"Mike Newton is more than likely his great grandfather. We knew him from when we first went here. I don't know if he's still alive but we should be careful around town if they have family here," Edward concluded.

I shrugged in easy agreement and picked up my apple, neatly creating a gapping hole in it, like a bite mark.

"Alice, that boy had particular thoughts about you." Edward frowned slightly.

"And feelings," Jasper muttered, his hands gripping the edge of the table. His knuckles were a lot paler than usual.

I frowned and opened my mouth to answer just as the bell rang.

"Well on with the rest of the day," Nessie interrupted, brightening the atmosphere.

Before I even knew it the dismissal bell rung and students filed out of classrooms like bees. All of them were buzzing around with happiness that the school day was finished and they all could go home. I clutched my books tightly to my chest as I was guided down the halls with the rest of the student body. Soon I made it to my locker and I saw Anthony standing next to it.

"Hey Alice!" He greeted, obviously less on edge with my family's absence.

"Hi." I smiled and unlocked my locker door, opening it.

"I really appreciate the help."

I nodded and handed him the lined sheet of paper, covered in my neat purple hand writing. "It's no problem."

"I have no idea how you're able to write this all down so fast. Elementary school wasn't nearly as difficult."

I shrugged and proceeded to empty my already finished homework into my school bag. "It's a lot harder here. But if you ever need to use a note just ask, I'd be happy to help you out." I smiled.

Anthony gave me a bright smile back. I couldn't help but notice that his sharp bone structure and silky brown hair looked a lot like my angel's. Minus the light blue eyes and thin lips and they could be related.

"Um, uh…" He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down at his jean covered legs and sneaker covered feet. "Would you like to go out and maybe grab something to eat sometime? Or see a movie?"

I paused in mid-book-grab and bit my lip. "Um... okay," I mumbled, seeing the hopeful look on his face.

A huge grin stretched across his face and he nodded. "Okay, great. Do you have a phone?" I nodded and slipped a small silver phone out of my jacket pocket. "Awesome. Can I give you my number?"

"Um, sure." I flipped open the device and glanced up at him. He quickly gave me his number and exchanged goodbyes as he headed down the hall with a big wave. I exhaled and shut my locker.

What a day!

As the hallways were emptying, I headed out to the parking lot, spotting Edward and the rest of my family leaning against their cars.

"What was that?" Edward asked.

"He was so hopeful Edward! It's just a harmless date," I muttered.

I glanced at Jasper to see him stiffen greatly and quickly climb into Emmett's jeep. I huffed and slid into the back of Edward's Volvo. Quickly, the rest of the family followed and we were home in minutes. Once home, I opened the car door and darted out, heading inside at blurring speed.

I heard Edward sigh before I made it into my room. I plopped down on the sofa and took out my phone. I need some normalcy. I scrolled through the numbers and clicked talk.

"Hello?"

"Hey Anthony. It's Alice." Yeah, I know, a vampire talking to a human, that's far from normal.

"Hey Alice! What's up?"

"Avoiding a nosey brother, how about you?"

I heard quiet laughter on the other end. "I hear ya, I'm just chillin'."

I smiled and our friendly conversation continued like that for the rest of the night.
