Chapter 2

Alice's POV

These grey skies never gave up did they? Driving around here seemed very dull and dark. It was 9 in the morning, but nobody told the weather that. It was probably better this way. I wouldn't be able to stand it had it been bright and sunny like back home. The weather at least told me that our lives had changed.

The building came into view very quickly with Rosie's mad man driving skills. This girl had no tolerance for Driving Miss Daisy drivers. This was probably why she had her car taken off her back home. Now, she had no fear for what dad would think. He wasn't here.

Out of nowhere a truck cut us off and it sent the both of us whirling to the front when Rosalie hit the brakes. I could see her seething with anger at the driver. I clutched her hand in mine. We couldn't afford to bad mouth the locals seeing as we were the new meat around town.

Rosalie settled and drove on peacefully. I turned t my sister and really found that she had changed.

I got off and with a wave, my day at the reservation school started. I didn't even know the name of the school. I was really out of it.

Stepping into the school, which was really small by the way, I could see, no wait, SMELL, the pack a mile off. They stood in their own little group and turned to look when I entered. They all gave me suspicious looks as I strode past them. Only two seemed to not want to cover their noses. I nodded at the both of them and went on to find the school office. These wolves could eat me in front of the entire school, I couldn't care less.

"Hello, there! You must be the new girl" the chirpy, old lady behind the counter smiled at me.

"Yes, I am. Alice Cullen. It's nice to meet you ma'am" I said, remembering my manners. Just because I was having a bad day, didn't mean I had to take it out on the world.

"It's nice to meet you too, Alice. Mrs. Avery will be with you in a second" she said signalling to the room off of the office.

"So Alice, where did you move here from?"

"New Orleans" I said trying at least to be truthful. Rosalie and I had come up with a cover last night that was mostly the truth.

"Wow, I would have never guessed that from your accent" she continued to dig for information. I could feel the ears perked of the wolves even if they were far out of earshot. Those around me feigned disinterest but I could feel some conversations stopping.

"Yeah, Dad was a doctor. He moved us around to where he was needed the most and that just happened to be New Orleans last year"

"So where are you from?" she asked. It pricked on my nerves just a tiny bit. I used to be nosy, but then I realised it got people into trouble and so now any trace of nosiness makes me want to squash it back where it came from.

"I actually have no idea" I lied. She would have been far more curious had I said Italy.

Thankfully, Mrs. Avery stepped out of her office that second.

"Ah, you must be Alice" she came forward and shook my hand. She had such warm hands. Everybody had such warm hands compared to me.

The entire talk with her was the same thing I got from Miss Nosy behind the counter. She showed me my every class before taking me to the one I had first.

Stepping into the much too small classroom of about 15, she introduced me to Mr. Brock, my Geography teacher and partnered me with a wolf named Seth as my class buddy. He was one of the wolves that didn't look like I waved a sack of shit in front of their noses. I sat beside him and took notes down diligently. After about half way through the lesson, I noticed that I didn't smell the wet dog that naturally plagued my nose.

As the bell rung and we packed our things, Seth turned to me.

"So what do you have next?"

I looked to his very innocent face, was he the one that saved me?

"English" I said. I tried to feel my face out and I realised I wasn't smiling. I needed t smile more.

"That's near my History class. I'll walk you" he smiled again and I felt his goodness radiate. For someone that was almost 6 feet tall and built. His face looked like one of a child. He must have phased before his time. Fucking vampires. If they weren't hanging around, this man child would be a normal child.

We walked and talked. Well, it was more like Seth talked and I listened. Just before my class, I felt his conversation halt without warning. I looked at him and saw him looking across the hallway. I looked and saw the other wolf that didn't hold his breath with me around. This wolf was taller and looked ready to murder Seth. The sweet boy I was just with mumbled a quick goodbye and shuffled off to class.

I turned to look back at the other wolf and he was staring right at me. His look was very confusing, but it definitely wasn't murderous like he was looking at Seth. This look confused me to no end. I dismissed it leaving for class.

At lunch, I found the library. Its range of books didn't excite me, but it did provide a quiet haven. I was tired of hearing everybody talk about the 'new girl'. I couldn't be fucked trying to know anyone in my classes. As long as I passed my classes Rosalie won't suspect a thing was out of place.

"Hey, what are you doing in the library?" Seth said dropping his books beside me and pulling up a chair.

There was his smile again.

"I was trying to get some algebra done" looking to his unbelievably good nature. I was part vampire, part of the reason he was a wolf was to kill me. Why did he smile at me?

"Hey, what are you doing tonight?" he asked. He might as well have asked if I was going to murder some random and drink their blood. His expression didn't say that, but I knew he couldn't be asking for anything else.

"Nothing. Why?"

"Oh, I was wondering if you'd want to come to a bonfire on tonight" he asked sweetly.

"Is this bonfire with all your friends?" I asked. If the whole pack was there, I didn't want to spoil their night. I've spoiled enough.

"Yes, but they'd love to have you" he said.

"No, they wouldn't. I'm sure it's for your group only. It's a lovely gesture, but I don't think I should come", I declined nicely. His pack already looked furious with him for talking to me. I could only imagine what it'd be like if I came to the bonfire.

"He's right. It'd be great if you came" a voice said from behind me. Somehow, I knew exactly who it was. It was the wolf that gave me that confusing look.

I turned and found him standing there giving me the same look as earlier.

I guess if two wolves gave permission, then what the heck...

"I'd love to come"

Paul's POV

It frustrated the hell out of me. Why the fuck did she still smell like a fucking leech? I tried not to even think of what Leah had suggested. I turned to glare at Quill, Jared, Jacob and Embry as they held their noses when she walked by. It reminded them that they weren't to do that in front of me. Pack laws stated they weren't to harm my imprint in anyway. I found their looks to be hurting her. I smacked Jared particularly hard on the head as his look was the foulest.

She turned to nod at me and Seth as she breezed on past. My eyes followed her toward the office and it stayed on the tiny thing's legs. It was shown off perfectly with her jeans. Those legs looked too good to be in those jeans.

I turned to my locker and tried to tear my eyes away from them. The bys had given me crap already for replaying the first moment we met again and again in my head while on patrol. I needed to get a fucking grip. I took the piss out of Sam and Quill when they did that, but I couldn't control myself. I felt my ears perk up as Miss Muzzle, the bitch really needed a muzzle, grilled her on her life.

So she was from New Orleans. I guess that explained the boots. It was just the beginning of fall and she had walker texas ranger boots on.

Moving to second period I could feel her walking toward me and I stopped just to see her again. When I found Seth walking with her, I wanted to maim the younger wolf.

I felt the urge to rip his hand off, I saw it brush against her. Seth turned to look at me and I told him to "Fuck the fuck off" with my eyes. I knew it wouldn't do me any good to rip the boy to shreds. Sue had already given me the evil eye for mauling his sister to the ground.

He scattered off and that left her looking at me for the first time in my human form. Her eyes were a blue so light and clear I would have thought them water. Her hair cut looked even better than it did at the clearing. The only thing that stood out was her smell. She reeked of leech and my wolf was on one end wanting to protect her and make her mine in every imaginable way, but my head told me that she smelt like a leech and because of that, I should be killing her.

She turned and headed into her classroom. I missed her gaze and they were just on me for a few seconds. How the hell does that even work?

Rosalie's POV

Sam's taste in music was atrocious. He thought that Elvis Presley and Ricky Nelson were cool. After my father listening to this music, I couldn't hear it without thinking of telling my dad to shut up. I guess it did take me back to some good times.

I heard somebody step into the shop. It was probably Emily. If someone didn't drive up it was probably Emily. She loved checking up on him. Whether it was because she was worried he was working with me, or because she really loved him. I guessed the second one was the best bet. The looks that they sent each other made me feel like I was the unlucky one. I didn't have someone to look at me like that. I hated it when they did that in front of me.

Just as I turned to greet Emily, I saw that character from the cliff and two of his friends. They talked to Sam and seemed to shift their attention to me when I turned. The boy still had that look on his face. As did the friend next to him.

"Rosalie, this is Embry" the one that was giving me the full body scan "Quill" the only normal looking one and "Jacob" Sam said pointing to the douche I had met earlier. "These boys are all juniors still in high school"

I politely nodded at them before turning back to my work. They could stare all they want, I wasn't going to let that bother me.

"I'm going to check on Quill's car, I'll be back in a sec" Sam said before turning to leave with Quill and a slightly put out Embry. Which left me with the douche bag.

"So, Rosalie" he started as if testing my name out on his tongue "How's work been here for you? I know Sam is a pretty crack down boss"

"It's been fine. Shouldn't you be in school now?" I asked a bit coldly.

"Juniors get a half day" he replied smoothly trying to come into my range of vision. "So you doing anything tonight?"

"I don't do anything with minors" I bit back.

I looked to him and saw a wounded look on his face. It was true though, I wouldn't touch a child. He definitely didn't look like a child but it was never going to happen.

"It's actually a bonfire, it's not just going to be just us, Sam and everybody will be there"

"No, thank you" I looked at him still with that wounded expression on his face.

Walking into the house, I was hit with a most glorious smell. It felt just like home when I walked into the kitchen and found Alice stirring something over the stove. Man if she weren't so tiny, she'd look just like Mum.

"Hey" I called.

She turned and smirked as she heard my stomach grumble. I can't believe I thought at one time that I should end my life. Alice was always the good sister. I can't believe I was going to leave her alone.

We dug into the amazing meal and I couldn't suppress the moan that escaped my lips.

"So how was your first day at school?"

"It was good, I made a friend. His name's Seth"

No surprise there, she was always the popular one. Not the bitchy popular one that everyone feared but secretly loved, but the girl that everybody knew and loved. I'd have been shocked had she said otherwise.

"That's great. Do you want to invite him over sometime? I have that new Nicholas Sparks movie. Maybe he'd want to join us"

"He's actually invited me to a bonfire tonight"

"So are you going?" I knew that she didn't really need my permission.

"Yeah, I thought I'd sit around there for awhile, listen to a few of the wolf's tales. Maybe meet a few people"

I cleared my throat and confessed. "Yeah, a boy named Jacob asked me to come. I didn't think I should, it sounds like only high schoolers are going. I wouldn't want to cramp your style or anything"

Alice giggled a bit before chugging down some water. "Wow, we haven't been in this town for what? A few weeks and some guys already asked you out? Damn ma'am!"

I had to laugh at her old slang. "Yeah, I don't think it's going anywhere, this guy's way too like Emmett"

"Let me check him out for you tonight. I'm sure he's not that bad"

"He looks like the ring leader in his little gang, I'm sure he is" I said, not doubting my stereotyping powers in the least.

She reached across the table and squeezed my hand "Emmett was a sick fuck that should be butt raped until he starts shitting out of his mouth"

I didn't need to be told twice. I squeezed her hand again because she rarely swore.

"And then have his dick put into a grinding machine, while being fingered by Chester the Molester"

I laughed out loud at this "But I thought he was already being butt raped?"

"Easy fix, we make two holes" she smirked.

Man, she knew how to make me laugh.
