Us Cullen kids started private school today. It was interesting, because we actually blended in there. We drove our fancy cars to school, but other kids had better ones. We wore our regular clothes- without trying to fit in- and other kids actually looked cooler. Not even Alice was the ultimate trend-setter when it came to having the newest, the hottest, and the most expensive clothing fresh off the rack. I think it bothered her, but she didn't let it show.
The rest of us were relieved not to be stared at all day, me especially. I could breeze through the thoughts of other students without having to worry about hearing our names, and even though we were a big group of new kids, no one really cared. This was a group of self-indulged, high society teens. They were wrapped up in their own lives.
That's not to say they weren't nice, or friendly. They were. In fact, we blended in so well that people were trying to make friends with us left and right. Emmett tried out for the football team- against my advice. He wanted to be a linebacker. Rosalie decided it was funny and encouraged him to do it.
We all got the same lunch period, at least, so we stuck together at lunch- as usual. I was my typical brooding self and tried hard not to make any friends. A couple of jocks tried to befriend me in fourth period, but I wasn't overly welcoming. I'm not the friendly type.
I did find it interesting, however, when one of the jocks who had talked to me caught my attention later in the afternoon. He was talking to a very pretty freshman- whom I was pretty sure was named Jaymie. Jaymie was excited because he was a senior, and a senior talking to a freshman was a big deal.
Jaymie was very cute, with short brown hair in a choppy cut similar to Alice's and bright green eyes. She was a very trendy dresser, and into sports- which was probably what caught the jock's attention. I think the jock's name was Adam. From what I could tell from Jaymie, she seemed outspoken and fun loving. Hard to tell from her thoughts, but she was definitely upbeat at the moment.
Adam was your typical blond, blue eyed, big muscled, football defense player who thought sports were ultimate and school was lacking. He wasn't the brightest, but seemed like he could barely pass his classes at least.
What caught my attention was when I heard him ask Jaymie to go out with him after school to a movie and dinner on Friday. It was his thoughts that made me stop in my tracks and listen. Not that his thoughts were much different than most other teenage boys, but he wanted to impress Jaymie- so he figured he would take her to dinner and then skip the movie and go to a make-out spot in the woods instead. Jaymie was stoked to go on a date with the senior, and Adam was excited to take out such a cute girl.
I made a mental note of this because I sometimes go hunting in the same general area that Adam was thinking of for his make-out spot and am about due for a feeding. I told myself to remember to avoid that area- the last thing I needed was to come across some young innocent kids while tearing open a deer. It wouldn't be easy to explain to them, and I wasn't ready to move towns yet.
Anyway, the rest of the school day was fairly uneventful. No one else was very remarkable, and not much else happened aside from hearing a date be made in my hunting spot and Emmett stupidly sign up for football. What is it with football around here anyway? Oh well, I guess I'm not the sports type so I wouldn't understand.
I will be back later after I have more to write about.
