Alice noticed Edward's frown and smiled to herself.
'Just be patient. We're not in any immediate danger, at least. Just be calm.', she thought.
She glanced over at Edward to make sure he had heard her thoughts, but turned her eyes back to the teacher to make it seem as if she was paying attention. This definitely wasn't a day to get lectured by a teacher.

Rosalie slipped into the French class just before the bell rang and sat in the desk on the other side of Alice. She looked in the direction of their teacher so it would at least seem like she was paying attention, when she was really going over possible scenarios of their next meeting with the other vamps in town.

Marguerite sighed and took a seat a few rows behind Edward. She didn't want to be anywhere in front of him, to feel those liquid topaz eyes burning into her forehead. She didn't know what he could to do, only that she felt naked, exposed, like she couldn't even briefly let her mind wander without him knowing. She wondered idly if the others had powerful abilities as she took out her heavy French II textbook and flipped to a random page. The book was completely unnecessary since she had lived in France for over 200 years and it was her first native language, but she had to keep up appearances.
She kneaded the pale spot between her dark eyebrows with the slender tip of her finger. She hadn't known what to expect from the Cullens, but this was going to be more complicated than she had anticipated, especially since Oceane was still M.I.A. Oceane... Marguerite thought softly. Where are you?
"Je m'appelle Marguerite. Comment t'appelle tu?" She answered quickly - a little too quickly - to the instructors question. She immediately felt the room's sight turn to her and if she could blush, her high cheekbones would have been scarlet by then.

Alice watched as Marguerite sat down in a row far from them, tilting her head in curiosity. She soon sat back in her chair, remembering that keeping appearances was key. She noticed, however, when the teacher asked Marguerite a question in French. Alice's eyes went wide as Marguerite answered, a little too quickly, and glanced over at Edward with her thoughts clear and loud for him to hear.
'A little too quick, wasn't she? I wonder what she's thinking... Edward.'

Bella Swan is currently temping Edward Cullen until we get a permanent player so their posts will be combined.
Edward sighed heavily as he leaned back into the chair. He had managed to make Marguerite scared of him. He felt kind of bad as he read her mind. She really didn't seem like a threat but they had to be cautious. A whole new coven in Forks could be very bad for them. Edward smiled and grabbed Alice's notebook and wrote in his elegant script She feels exposed because of me. She knows I have some sort of special ability but she doesn't know what it is. Yes, she has lived in France for 200 years. She has some sort of plan involving us that her sister is complicating because she is M.I.A. I don't like the sound of plans.
Edward passed the notebook back to Alice with the pen and made it appear that he had be taking notes since he had forgotten his notebook. He fought the urge to look over his shoulder at her knowing she was already very aware where he was and how he felt about her.
Bella sighed and acted like she was paying attention so the teacher wouldn't notice that Edward was passing notes to Alice. She knew Edward would fill her in once class was over. She leaned forward onto the table and rest her arms on it. She started to lightly tap the table, but stopped, deciding it was something that would look disrespectful. She really wished she had grabbed a notebook to doodle in.

Alice read over Edward's script like it was her own writing with a speed that would have been alarming if any human were to notice. She flipped to a clean page and scribbled down some notes in French to make it seem that they were just exchanging notes for the class, but thought to herself as she did.
'Okay Edward. Once this class ends, I want you to call Carlisle. He needs to know about this immediately. I know it's not a danger to us right now, but he definitely needs to know about everything. That way, we're all on the same page. We'll all stay after school lets out to talk this out with Marguerite. We don't want anyone getting hostile, so we definitely need Jasper there. We won't necessarily need Renesmee or Jacob, but if they are just nearby to help out, that will just be the plan B if things do get out of hand. I doubt they will; I haven't seen anything...'
Alice glanced at Edward as she slowly completed her thoughts so he could keep up. She blinked once and looked back at the teacher, quickly passing the notebook back to him before the teacher had seen anything.

Oceane launched herself into the first empty hallway she found. In a blur of movement, she made it from the farthest end, to the entry way of the french classroom in less than a millisecond. Thankfully, no human eyes fell upon her. She brushed a few strands of her auburn hair from her dark eyes and took a deep breath that she didn't need. The excruciating sound of the doorknob turning seemed multiplied by infinity as she entered.
"Sorry I'm late!" she blurted, interrupting any sort of teaching that was happening. She immediately noticed an empty seat next to her sister and plopped down. She reclined and kicked her feet up on the chair in front of her, not bothering to apologize to the kid who was even sitting in it.
"'Sup?" she asked when he turned around in annoyance, which then hastily turned to admiration at the revealing of Oceane's exotic beauty.
"Turn around," Marguerite suggested in a grave voice and the boy did so. No one was ever able to refuse Marguerite.
Marguerite then forced her granite gaze on her sister, a mixture of fury and relief swimming in the ebony pools.
"I'm sorry," Oceane mouthed, and Marguerite smiled despite herself.

Rosalie raised an eyebrow when Marguerite answered so quickly and so correctly, but she knew that more often than not it was hard not to in some subjects. She shrugged it off and it was then that a girl burst through the door and Rose assumed it was the sister Marguerite had told them about. She resisted the urge to turn around and look at her and instead kept acting like she was paying attention while she wondered idly about what Edward was hearing from the both of them.

Alice jumped slightly as a girl burst through the door to the classroom. She glanced back at the girl but quickly turned her head back around to the front of the room before anyone noticed.
'Edward, that must be her sister.... She seems more.... bold than Marguerite. She may be more of a problem.... We may need to get Carlisle involved a bit earlier than we planned...'
She glanced at Edward from the corner of her eyes, keeping her expression blank, but her eyes were serious and sharp.

Oceane smacked her ruby lips. "They seem kinda stuck up," she commented on the Cullens, not even bothering to keep her voice down.
Marguerite's ebony stare hardened. "Oceane. Don't make me."
Oceane couldn't help but smile the devil's grin. "Oh c'mon, Marguerite. I've only been here for two minutes and I'm already bored."
She sat straight up in her chair, her feet falling to the gray carpet in a thud. "Hey," she barked across a few rows, straight towards Alice. "You got a problem with me?"

Rosalie's rose one eyebrow and her mouth opened in total surprise at the girl's outburst and she glanced at Alice for her reaction and then turned to look at the girl. She glared at the girl, totally pissed about the fact that she was trying to start something at all let alone in the middle of a class full of humans. "What the hell is this bitch's problem??" Rosalie wondered. She balled up her right hand into a fist ready to fight.

Alice put a restraining hand on Rosalie's arm and winked at her. She then turned her head back and looked at Oceane, a genuine smile on her face.
"Just admiring your outfit. It's adorable."
She smiled again and looked back towards the teacher.

Oceane's face fell. She was actually looking forward to a fight. She didn't let this show, however, and shrugged and relaxed back into the plastic molding that was trying so hard to be a chair.
"Cool," she replied nonchalantly. "Thanks."
Rosalie's balled fist did not go unnoticed from the corner of her eye, and Oceane surmised there may be a fight left in them after all, maybe just not today.
"Plevse excuse my sister," Marguerite apologized so soft and fast that only the Vampires could hear. To the humans, it may have sounded she was only breathing heavier than usual, which was quite possible since a fight had almost broken out in the middle of the room.

Rosalie relaxed her fist and turned back around. Rosalie glanced over at Alice and without turning her head, so the others couldn't see, and mouthed "Nice save." and went back to acting like she was paying attention only now worrying about the next encounter with this girl. While Marguerite seemed friendly and genuine so far, her sister was another story.

Bella Swan is currently temping Edward Cullen until we get a permanent player so their posts will be combined.
Edward was surprised that Marguerite's sister was trying to start a fight in the middle of a classroom full of humans. He knew Alice would keep her cool, but Rosalie on the other hand was always another story. He smiled cruelly down at the desk. If Oceane wanted to fight they would all be happy to oblige her. He didn't look back up at the teacher, but down at the notebook in front of him. What made him mad was the fact that Oceane was trying to reveal their existence in a classroom full of humans. She was jeopardizing their home in Forks and it made the anger in him rise. He kept his breathing normal but his eyes held a darker storm in them. He picked the pen up and wrote to Alice.
Oceane could be a problem for us. She seems to want to start a fight with us. We most definitely need to call Carlisle. If the rest of the family is like Oceane, we could be in serious trouble. Let Rosalie read what I have gleaned from them so far. She needs to be on the same page as us so we can react accordingly.
Bella had also jumped when the new girl had come in and instinctively leaned closer to Edward. She had let her hair fall to put a curtain between her and the girl as the girl walked to her seat. She turned slightly to look over her shoulder at the girl when she asked what Alice was looking at. She was surprised. Why was this girl so ready to take on the world? She needed to calm down or she could end up in serious trouble, especially with Rosalie. She looked back at the teacher, and then to Edward.
She knew he was upset and that he had keep his face blank of expression intentionally. He was writing a note to Alice. She sighed heavily and put her hand on his arm to calm him. Everyone needed to stay calm and collected. If this new bunch of vampires wanted trouble they would surely get it here. The family wouldn't risk being exposed and breaking the treaty. Fighting on school grounds was not an option. She was glad the comment had been directed at Alice and not at Rosalie.

Alice nodded at Marguerite, acknowledging her apology. She then read Edward's note to her, and began to think again as she passed the notebook to Rosalie quickly.
'I don't think that Oceane will start anything in class. I think she was just letting her personality show. I really don't think that their family will be a danger. I know Carlisle will have the answers for us once we inform him of everything. I suggest that we call him right after this class ends. I can do that while you, Emmett, and Jasper watch these two, just to make sure nothing happens to expose our existence.'
Alice glanced at Edward, and then over at Rosalie to make sure she had read the notes Edward had written.

Edward looked sideways at Alice and nodded slightly to show his acknowledgment and agreement of her plan. The French teacher had begun teaching again, even after the slight disturbance of class but the other students were edgy. They could feel the tension between the two groups and didn't like it. The teacher was watching both the Cullens and Oceane and Marguerite alternately. He was explaining how to properly ask questions in French using the vocabulary they already knew and how to respond to them. Edward looked over at Bella and smiled. He relaxed a little knowing it would make her feel better.

Rosalie quickly read Edwards notes and nodded at Alice and quickly passed them back when the teacher turned his back. She glanced at the clock, relieved to see that there was only about 10 minutes of class left.

Alice, noticing that Rosalie had glanced at the clock, looked at it herself. She let out a short, quiet sigh and glanced at the door and let a thought enter her mind.
'I really hope Jazz didn't get any of the emotional vibes from this room... he'd be in near panic mode by now...'
She quickly looked away and back up to the teacher, hoping Edward hadn't caught her thoughts just now, but sighed again, knowing he probably had. She watched as the teacher finally noticed the time and began writing their homework on the board. Alice quickly jotted it down in the notebook and began to put her belongings in a neatly stacked pile on the desk. She began to bounce her knees a little impatiently and kept glancing toward the door.

Oceane began to drum her foot repeatedly against the desk in front of her. The younger boy who resided in said seat only smiled absent mindedly, as if it was his greatest dream realized to have Oceane knock against the chair a thousand times a second. But even Oceane's usual predatorial nature with cute male teenagers couldn't stifle the thoughts clicking rapidly in her mind. The Cullents were more sly and intelligent that she had anticipated, and Marguerite seemed as nailed onto the mission as Sebastian was when he first proposed the idea of moving to Washington.
Oceane sighed and blew a stubborn piece of auburn hair away from her eyes. This stupid class would be over soon... She paused in her thoughts and gave the sandy haired boy a sultry wink (he appeared to almost fall over and lose normal bodily functions such as breathing and blinking) ...and then she could return to much more important and fun things.

Alice jumped up just as the bell rang and began to weave her way through the seats. Just as she approached the door, however, it seemed to open of its own accord. Alice stepped back in surprise, but smiled after recognizing the face of the person right away.
"Jazz."

Just as the bell had rung, Jasper bolted from his classroom and had just opened the door to the French 2 room right when Alice had approached it. He smiled and held out his other hand to her.
"My apologies, angel. Wasn't my intention to startle you. So, what is happening with the crazy emotions emanating from this room?"
Jasper stared into her eyes momentarily, but was then distracted by the other students beginning to head towards them to exit the classroom. He led Alice out into the hallway and put his arm around her as he waited for their family members to meet them.

Edward stood up from his seat neither fast nor slow just normal. He smiled at Bella as she got up as well and wrapped an arm around her waist and swayed toward the door letting hurrying humans out. He smiled as they finally made it out into the hall and walked to Jasper and Alice. He looked behind him to see if Rosalie was coming or managed to get trapped behind by the rest of the humans and the other two vampires.
Bella smiled at Jasper," hey..I take it your class was way more boring than ours," she sighed," We have stuff to tell you. Alice almost got into a fight if it wasn't for the fact she is so level headed. "

"Oh, really? Did we not discuss these things before we left the house this morning, Alice?"
He smiled slyly at her and pulled her closer, waiting for her to react.

Alice let a slight fake glare show on her face as she looked at Edward. She glanced up at Jasper and softened her expression.
"Well, it was more of someone trying to start a fight with me, but of course I was polite."
She smiled at Jasper and gently laid a hand on his chest.

Oceane wrinkled her nose. The shrill bell had echoed for two seconds too long in her mind, and now she was forced to transport herself to an entirely different class room where she would relearn the same things she had known for over 100 years.
She stood to her feet and headed towards the exit. "Ugh," she said under her breath to Marguerite. "They're all paired up," she commented, pointing at Edward and Bella's stance, along with Alice and Jasper. She perked up when she heard them talking about her, however. Looks like she was making an impression.
"Yeah, that person would be me!" she interjected, shoving herself between Alice and Jasper. She batted her eyelashes and stuck out one strong, pale hand.

Rosalie took her time getting out of her seat and got stuck behind a hoard of humans trying to get to the hall all at once as a result. She was glad her next class would be with Emmett.
She finally made it to the others. "Well that definitely was an interesting class I must say." She said after glancing around and not seeing the other two vamps again yet. "Hopefully we can avoid anymore scenes like that." She looked down the hall for Emmett but didn't see him so she turned back to her family.

Jasper cleared his throat and tried to put on a smile. He shook the girl's hand and then let his smile melt. He kept his voice low enough that only the vampires around him could hear.
"Nice to meet you, I am Jasper Hale. I do not mean this in a rude manner, but I would appreciate it if you would not be so impolite as to shove aside my wife, please."
He nodded his head in a slight bow and moved around Oceane to get back next to Alice. He slid his arm back around her waist and glanced at Rosalie.

Rose watched Oceane closely. What is she playing at? Rosalie wondered. Guess all we can do really is kill her with kindness she thought, and as she did, she looked at Edward to see if he agreed with the idea or if he was even paying attention to anyone's thoughts other than Oceane's. Rosalie knew she would struggle with it but thought that for the sake of the family it was necessary she control the overwhelming urge to kick this girl's attitude problem right out of her pretty little head.

Jasper noticed the expression on Rosalie's face and felt her overwhelming emotions emanating from her. He glanced down at Alice and smiled sincerely.
"Well, we should be getting to our next class. We'll meet you up there, Rosalie."
Jasper turned Alice around in one swift move of his arm and led her down the hallway toward a staircase to go upstairs.
