The class was mostly boys, who's jaws dropped when Rosalie had walked across the room. Rosalie settled into a desk in the front row of the classroom in the middle of the large shop.
The bell rang and the teacher started to take roll. He called out Jasper's name and Rose quickly scanned the room for him. He wasn't there yet, which was odd as Jasper was usually quite punctual. Just as the teacher finished the list though Jasper came in. The teacher, griped at him for his lateness and told him to sit next to his sister.
When Jasper sat down she leaned over and spoke just loud enough for him to hear, "Nice way to start of the new school year. Am I going to have to call Carlisle and tell him you need a good straightening out?" She smirked.

Jasper sat down quietly and glanced at Rosalie as she spoke. He shot her a small, fake frown.
"Am I just so bent out of shape that I need a straightening out? Yet, I whipped Emmett's butt in our rematch last night."
Jasper grinned and turned his attention back to the teacher as he began explaining the safety procedures and other requirements for the class.

Rosalie raised an eyebrow and was about to come back with a challenge of her own, when another student burst into the classroom apologizing profusely to not only the teacher but the entire class the second she entered. She moved quite quickly so Rosalie didn't see much of her face before she sat in the last remaining seat and hid her face from the class with her long blonde hair, but there was something about her...

Delilah sped through the halls struggling to not run as fast as she knew she could but fast enough to try to beat the bell that signaled the start of first hour. She hit the door and it flew open and she ran out to the shop. She finally made it to the door way of the shop classroom and stepped in, almost in a blur and began apologizing
"I'm so sorry sir." She said to the teacher. "I'm so sorry everyone!" She continued. "I'm so SO sorry." She said as she plopped into the only free desk on the very right side of the room, not wanting to look at anyone since she could feel them all staring at her anyway. She made sure her hair covered the side of face that was towards them.
"Miss O'Malley I assume?" The teacher said.
"Yes sir." She said, not looking him in the eye. "I apologize for being la-"
"Yes, yes. I heard that the first time." He said aggravated. "I'll let it slide this time, but if it happens again..."
"It won't sir." She assured him, barely looking up from her desk, still using her hair to shield her face from the rest of the students.
She felt relieved when the teacher continued his lecture about safety and the class had turned their attention back to him and she finally decided it was safe to pull her hair back out of her face.

Jasper had just begun to space out and stare blankly at the wall, but the door to the shop slammed open, startling him. He watched as a blonde girl entered and retreated to the last available seat by the wall. Jasper stared at her for a moment, waiting for her scent to reach his nose. He was indifferent, thinking she was just another human girl. But, as her scent reached him, he was taken aback and his guard instantly went up like an invisible, bullet-proof wall. He immediately jerked his head around to stare at Rosalie, his eyes aware and full of panic. He spoke low enough so that only Rosalie could here him.
"Rose... we have a very serious situation..."
He immediately made a decision to find Alice, knowing she would forsee this problem.

Rosalie stared at Jasper knowing it was something serious by his reaction and she "What is it?" She wondered keeping her voice as quiet as possible, though his reaction made it hard.

Delilah began to calm down finally. She could just hear her family now. Telling her it would have been much less disrespectful to have missed class completely. Then she remembered how much she missed her family. "I'll have to give Mom and Dad a call tonight." She thought. Then she thought she heard faint whispering and she looked around the room. Everyone seemed to be paying attention to the teacher so she brushed it off.

Jasper turned his head back to the teacher, making it seem like him and Rosalie weren't talking. He kept his voice low so that only Rosalie could hear him.
"She has the scent.... of one of us."
Jasper glanced at Rosalie from the corner of his eyes, keeping his head still so that the rest of the class wouldn't notice.

Rosalie inhaled deeply to smell the air and her eyes opened wide as she did and realized Jasper was right, not that she really doubted him in the first place. Then she realized what seemed familiar about her and she glanced back at her and could see her eyes clearly now that her hair was out of her face, and they were most definitely a liquid topaz color just like the rest of the vampires in their family.
"Her eyes are the same color as ours." She paused. "We need to let the others know." She said even though she was sure he had had the same thought already.

Now she was sure she had heard someone other than their teacher who was still rambling on about safety measures in the different areas of the shop. She scanned the room carefully this time.
Then she could clearly hear it, a female voice said "Her eyes are the same color as ours." It was easy then as there were few girls in the class. A few off in the corner and the other sitting in the front row. She looked to the blonde in the front row just in time to hear "We need to let the others know." and see her lips move ever so slightly. She asked herself what other creatures would talk that low and think they were the only ones that could hear, already knowing the answer.
"So much for being calm now." She thought as she kept her eyes on them, waiting for more from them so she could find out where she stood with them and what her next moved needed to be.

Jasper blinked once, telling Rosalie that he agreed with her. He murmured one word to tell Rosalie that he had already let someone know about their current situation.
"Alice."
Jasper then glanced at the door, his eyes searching out his companion impatiently. Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated and Jasper raised his hand. The teacher raised an eyebrow curiously at him.
"Yes, Mr. Hale?"
Jasper stood up and stood still.
"Sir, I really do hate to interrupt you a second time. I know this does not help my standings very much in this class, but I have an emergency call from home. I need to step outside into the hallway for a brief moment."
The teacher nodded, and Jasper briskly walked the short distance to the door. He flung it open and rounded the corner of the hallway.

As Alice was intently listening to Mr. Dole, her European History teacher, ramble on about the German movement under Hitler's reign, her eyes suddenly lost sight of Mr. Dole. A vision of Jasper smelling a vampire not of their family within his classroom. She stood up after the vision had passed, catching the teacher's attention.
"Is something wrong, Ms. Cullen?"
Alice nodded as she quickly made her way to the front of the room and towards the door.
"I have an emergency call from home. I'll be right back, Mr. Dole. I'm so sorry to have to interrupt you."
Mr. Dole nodded and smiled at Alice.
"That's alright. Thank you for letting me know. I hope everything is okay."
Alice nodded and quickly exited the room. She ran through the hallways, making sure that no one saw her. When she finally made it to the shop class, Jasper was already standing outside.
"Jasper, what's going on? I saw that you smelled another of our kind."
She glanced into the room and saw Rosalie staring at a blonde girl sitting in the middle of the row next to the wall.
"Is that her?"
She glanced back at Jasper and placed a gentle hand on his arm when she began to feel slightly panicked.
"Don't worry. We'll have Edward send a telepathic message to Carlisle during lunch. For now, just act like nothing is wrong. Don't give her any unnatural attention and things should be alright until we get the information to Carlisle. He'll know what to do, obviously."
Alice stretched up onto her tiptoes and kissed Jasper lightly on the lips, and then smiled up at him. She gestured to the door and mock-saluted him with two fingers while putting on a mock-serious expression.
"I'll see you at lunch, Major."
She then ran back down the hallway to get back to her class, making sure to avoid anyone so they didn't see her vampiric speed.

Jasper listened intently as Alice explained their next moves. When she had finished, she held up two fingers to her forehead and saluted him.
"I'll see you at lunch, Major."
Jasper grinned back at her; this was a running thing between them, that she always called him 'major' and he called her 'angel'. Jasper watched as Alice ran back down the hallway to her classroom and chuckled when she had to dodge between a row of lockers to avoid being seen by a couple of the hall monitors. After she disappeared around the corner, Jasper regained his composure and went back into his classroom. He nodded to the teacher and sat back down, glancing at Rosalie. All he had to say was two names to reassure Rosalie of what Alice had told him.
"Edward. Carlisle."
Jasper then looked back the teacher and put on his calm, normal face to act like he was interested in what the teacher had to say.

Rosalie nodded in acknowledgment. She tried to focus on what was going on in their class but it was proving to be difficult as different possible scenarios involving their current situation popped into her head.

Delilah clearly heard the boy in the front row mention some names to the girl next to him. When he left the room she was suspicious and tried to listen but there was too much other noise. It frustrated her to not be able to hear what they were saying so that she knew whether or not the situation was going to be a problem for her.
Trying to take her mind off of it, she pulled her schedule back out of her pocket to see what she had next. Choir. "Sweet!" She thought. Singing was so easy and relaxing. To her it was one of the best releases she had and right now she could really use something. Actually just thinking about it really started to calm her down. Now it was just the countdown until the bell. When she could escape from this stressful situation into a class she could pour every fiber of her being into.

Jasper glanced at the clock in the room; one minute until he was able to see Alice again. Even though he knew Alice had seen the other like them, he was still concerned. When the bell finally rang, he glanced over at Rosalie.
"I'm going to go find Alice. Then we'll go find Edward."
Jasper got up quickly and bolted out the door, ran down the hallway and made it to Alice's classroom right as she was walking out into the hallway.
"Alice."

Rosalie Hale is temping for Emmett Cullen until we have a permanent player
Rosalie followed Jasper out the door but decided running wasn't necessary and just walked quickly. On her way after Jasper she went by the English class just as Emmett, Renesmee & Jacob came out of their class.
"What's the hurry?" Emmett asked when he say her speed walking towards them.
"Looks like we're not the only vamps in town." She answered quietly.
"What?" Jacob asked, wondering what they were talking about.
"Nothing do-" Rosalie started but caught herself. She was not a fan of Jacob but her niece loved him so she tolerated him. It was hard sometimes to be nice to him around Renesmee though and the occasional "dog" slipped out. "There's another vamp in town." She said quietly enough that the students around them couldn't hear. "Oh and if you didn't hear it that time you're out of luck." She told Jacob. "Come on we need to find Jasper and Alice and then find Edward and Bella." She said and started the way down the hall towards Alice's classroom.

Just as Alice was exiting her classroom, she heard her name being said behind her and turned around. She smiled up at Jasper, but realizing why he was there caused her smile to sink slightly.
"Jasper, it's alright. I watched for anything else, and I have found that she isn't a danger to us...yet. We just need to get Carlisle in on this and everything should be okay after that."
Alice took Jasper's arm and smiled, trying to get him to calm down. She glanced down the hallway and saw Rosalie and Emmett, followed closely by Jacob and Renesmee. Following Jasper's guiding arm once more, she greeted them with a cheerful expression.
"Hello. How were your first classes this morning? And don't worry. She's not a danger to us."

This post was made by Rosalie who is temping Emmett Cullen until we have a permanent player
"Better now with that good news." Emmett said with a smile. "Actually just about any good news would make a morning spent in English Lit. better." He joked.
Rosalie looked relieved when she heard what Alice said. "Well I suppose we better head to our next class then!" She said to Emmett after glancing at the clock on the wall in the hallway. "See you all at lunch then?"
Emmett put her arm around her and they headed off to their next class.

When class ended Delilah wanted nothing more than to run out of the class, away from the stress to her next class, but when the other two vampires beat her out she decided a slow stroll would be better. She meant no harm, but she was afraid they didn't see it that way. All Delilah wanted was to live peacefully in this tiny town.
"Oh well." She thought. "Not much I can do other than be myself and watch to make sure I don't step on anyone's toes."

Post by Renesmee Cullen on Jan 17, 2009 0:34:39 GMT -7
Renesmee Cullen is temping as Jacob Black until we get a permanent player.
Renesmee appreciated Aunt Rose trying to control herself in front of her. She knew she only did it for her and really appreciated it, even if she did slip up once in a while.
"What was that?" Jacob retorted, hoping Rose would repeat it.
Renesmee turned to him and looked at him, pleading him to not start anything. She touched his arm and told him, "Aunt Rose is trying Jacob, please don't push her."
Jacob struggled, but kept his mouth shut when Rose told him he was out of luck if he didn't hear it that time, but only to keep his wife happy. He couldn't understand why Nessie had such a connection with Rose. Of all the 'blood suckers' he knew she had to be one of the worst in his mind.
When the met with Alice they too were relieved by her news. "We should probably get going as well." Renesmee smiled. "Off to Algebra we go!"
Renesmee's enthusiasm for any subject never ceased to amaze anyone, especially Jacob, who sighed, wondering if this day of slow torture would EVER end.

Jasper calmed himself after hearing Alice's explanation to the others and held out his arm to Alice. After she took it, he smiled down at her.
"Well, shall I escort you to your next class, angel?"
After Alice nodded at him, he walked her down the hallway and into the lower part of the school where the theatre were located.
