Bella woke up with a start, instantly noticing the absence of cold arms around her torso. Loud knocking was heard on her door.

"Bella, you awake?" Charlie, her dad, called out to her. With some effort, she dragged herself out of the warmth that was her bed, and opened the door.

"Morning dad," she greeted, hugging him. They started down the stairs.

"Morning. Sorry I wasn't home when you got back. How was the dance?"

"It was nice. I had fun," she said going into the kitchen.

"Well, good!"

Bella grabbed a bowl, milk, some Capitan Crunch and sat down.

"Anything new at the station?" she asked spooning cereal into her mouth. Charlie is the police chief of Forks.

"Actually, you're going to be getting some new schoolmates. Foreign students to be exact."

Bella looked up in surprise.

"Really?"

"A whole extended family!"

Bella felt a rush of paranoia throughout her.

"Maybe they're a coven of vampires!" she thought. She hasn't had very good experiences with other vamps. She then quickly threw it away. "That's ridiculous. If they were, Alice would have warned Edward, who would have told me. . ." she continued rambling in her mind until Charlie's voice woke her.

"Well, I'm off!" he said.

"Alright, good luck!" she called after him.

Bella soon finished her breakfast, and went upstairs to get ready for school. After, she looked out her window and saw the familiar silver Volvo parked in front of the house. Leaning on the side of the door was Edward, giving her his famous crooked smile. Her heartbeat quickened as she smiled back, turning her back to him to grab her bag and walk out the front door. Bella walked out to meet Edward, who pulled her into a kiss.

"Morning, Bells," he said, opening the door for her.

"Good morning!"

They started driving.

"Hey, did Alice have a vision yet?" she asked. Edward raised his eyebrow and chuckled.

"Alice has many visions. Of what?"

"The new students," she replied as if it were obvious. His brow furrowed.

"No, no she didn't."

"Well, apparently they're foreigners and an extended family moved to Washington," Bella said. She couldn't help but feel a swell of pride of knowing important information that Edward didn't. Edward on the other hand, felt a bit worried, drawing the same conclusion that Bella did earlier. Then he laughed lightly.

"Well, that's interesting. Alice always has visions of newcomers."

They pulled into the school parking lot.

"Well, I'm excited to see them. I'm curious to where they're from." Bella said.

"As am I, love."

Edward and Bella walked to their lockers, and headed to class.

Tohru, Uo, Hana, and the two Sohma boys didn't arrive to school until lunch. The reason for this being they had to meet with the principal, organize schedules, etc, etc. Luckily they had taken two years of English at Kaibara, so they had little trouble communicating, although their accents were strong. Uo and Hana were only staying for two weeks until spring break in Japan was over, but they "couldn't let our dear Tohru go to a new school without proper guidance from her best friends," so they're coming in as exchange students.

"Please enjoy your time at Forks High School. A notice has already been sent out to the students who will guide you for a few days until you feel more comfortable," said the principal. Shigure, being the teenagers' legal guardian, nodded thank him. The principal went back into his office. Shigure turned back to the group.

"I'll be back to pick you up later, he said. "Have fun!"

He left.

There was an awkward silence, until a bird cawed outside, bringing them back to reality.

"W-well, let's go then! The cafeteria should be over there," Tohru said and pointed towards two wooden doors to their left. And so, they approached the cafeteria, sounds of talking and utensils clattering on the tables. Nervously, Kyo opened the doors, and the talking stopped.
