“Come on Lauren you haven’t had a boyfriend in six months,” Christine said.
“Yea because you roubou him,” I said rolling my eyes and biting into a carrot.
“He came happily,” she said.
I pushed a strand of dyed blonde hair behind my ear to keep my hand from curling into a fist and punching her in the face.
“I could get anyone I want,” I said.
“Uh huh sure.”
“I could.”
“Okay then what about hot new guy walking through the door over there?”
I turned around and saw him thick and wavy bronze hair, a light complexion, and unforgettable gold eyes.
I fell out of my chair and Christine laughed and said, “Already giving up?”
“No, no I’ll be right back!”
“Ha she’s trying to run away,” I heard Christine say as I ran to a corner close to where they were sitting.”
He sat down seguinte to a girl with gold eyes and pixie hair and that’s when I knew it was him.
And I came out of the corner and walked up behind him and the girls face lit up and I said, “Edward? Alice?”
“Lauren its so good to see you,” Alice said jumping over to me and hugging me.
“You too Alice when did you get here?”
“Oh last night Esme talked Carlisle into moving her, she hasn’t seen you since you were four and all she gets is yearly pictures from your mom.”
“Makes sense.”
“Gosh Edward look at her she looks so much like Bella. Doesn’t she?”
Edward got up and smiled at me and said, “Yes except for the blond hair and green eyes.”
“Oh I just dyed it blonde and I wear contacts.”
“Whose hair and eyes do you have,” Alice asked.
“Dad’s hair, mom’s eyes.”
“Aw Edward always loved Bella’s eyes. Let me see them,” Alice said jumping.
I sighed and popped out my contacts and looked up at her and said, “wa la.”
Edward glanced up and then turned away.
Mom and Edward had dated and well almost been married till she fell in amor with dad instead.
Then I was lifted over someone’s shoulder and I lost my breath and then I saw his face smiling up at me.
“Hey Lauren,” Emmett said.
“Hey Em.”
He smiled proudly and I said, “People are staring now.”
He stared at me and I said, “Put me down.”
“Okay mini Bella.”
I shook my head and punched him in the gut and he laughed and said, “Is your hand broken.”
“Nope only stings a bit,” I said.
“Ah she’s not all soft like Bella, there’s some of her dad.”
I rolled my eyes and I said, “Well do I have any of you in any classes.”
“Well you have me in half of them and Emmett and Edward in all of them and a few with Jasper and Rose.”
“Then why weren’t you guys in class?”
“We just got here and we couldn’t wait to see you or at least me, Emmett, and Edward couldn’t.”
“Edward wanted to see me?”
Edward half smiled and said, “I guess I haven’t been very humble but this one,” he said gesturing to Alice “won’t let me get a word in edgewise.”
I laughed and said, “It’s likely you wouldn’t with that one.”
“You guys both suck,” Alice said.
“Well I do she doesn’t,” Edward said smirking.
What? Wait. Oh I get it. Funny.
“Sometimes I wonder if your mom was that slow to get things.”
“She is trust me.”
“So what’s the story?”
“Me and Alice are fifteen, Emmett, Rose, and Jasper are sixteen, and were adopted por Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen and your mother is our fathers old friend and me, you, and Alice have been friends since we were kids.”
“Not too far from the truth,” I laughed.
Edward smiled and said, “Well the adopting part and the fact that we’ve been friends since YOU were a kid.”
I laughed and said, “Yea well I guess that’s the only part.”
He looked up and looked across the room and he said, “Your friends coming over here.”
I looked up and sure enough Christine was heading this way.
“You know sometimes I forget you can do that.”
He gave me a half smile that made my coração stop and he looked away.
Again I forgot he could tell I was thinking that.
Christine came over and said, “ah Lauren, getting acquainted with the new kids?”
“Hardly their all such morons,” I said elbowing Emmett and Edward.
“Uh huh, were the morons I’ve seen you in diapers and with drool running down your face,” Emmett said.
Christine laughed and Edward said, “Uh huh, Emmett and where you were during this time Emmett? Oh yea that’s right we were in diapers and drooling too because we were babies!”
“No we wer…oh yea we were ha ha.”
“God your stupid Em,” I said.
He chuckled and said, “I guess I’m still not as smart as you and Edward.”
“So you know each other,” Christine asked.
“Yea uh their adopted kids of my moms old friend Dr. Cullen.”
“Ah and this isn’t just a pretend thing to get out of the bet?”
“No. Of course not. I am let out of the bet right?”
“No of course you aren’t.”
Edward looked at me and looked at him with pleading eyes since I knew he knew exactly what the bet was.
He smiled and I said, “Edward.”
He just chuckled.
Jerk.
“What do you want me to do?”
I don’t know don’t you have 100 and something years of experience surely you can come up with something to get me out of this.
“There’s not way out.”
I don’t like you right now.
“Oh look Jacob’s coming,” Alice shrieked.
I turned and so did Edward I think he was expecting dad por the look on his face but it was just my brother.
Jacob was walking to a mesa, tabela and Alice screamed, “Jacob!”
And she threw her arms around Jacob.
He caught her and said, “Uh do I know you?”
“Of course silly. God I’ve missed you. You look so much like your dad. He’s so beautiful don’t you think?”
I laughed and hugged Jacob and said, “Jacob you remember Alice and Edward. Right?”
He looked at me and then it clicked and he said, “the…the…suckers…mom’s…the one dad…”
“Yes those ones, you’re so stupid sometimes,” I replied.
“Finally I can change. But dad’s gonna be pissed.”
“What’s he mean por change,” Emmett said.
“He’s going to become a werewolf because we’re here,” Edward said.
“How did you? Wait, you’re the one that can do the mind thingy,” Jacob said.
Edward nodded and said, “That would be me.”
“And is lil one here going to change,” Emmett asked.
Edward looked at me and I thought of the dia they tested us for the gene in a private laboratory.
“Well this is quite strange,” the doctor said.
“What? What is it?” mom said fearfully.
“The boy has twenty four and the girl has twenty-three and a half.”
“What’s that mean? The twenty three and a half,” dad said.
“Well the boy will be exactly like you and the girl will be mais like her mom but she’ll have heightened abilities she just won’t be able to change as you would say.”
Mom sighed but looked at Jacob who was eight and ran her hand through his wavy long black hair that curled over the colarinho, colar of his shirt.
I looked at dad and he smiled at me and lifted me into his arms and kissed my cheek and said, “See you’re going to be okay.”
I held onto his neck and said, “what about Jacob?”
“He’ll be okay too he’s just going to be different as a teen.”
“How?”
“He’ll look different?”
“Uglier?”
“Shut up,” Jacob yelled at me!
I giggled and dad said, “No he’ll look just like me still and he’ll be really tall but he’ll look like dog sometimes.”
“Will that hurt?”
“Yes at first.”
“Jakey can’t be hurt!”
“He’ll be fine honey its okay,” mom said and reached to touch my cheek but I moved away from her hand and drug my face into dad’s warm shoulder.
He patted my back and Jacob hopped off his chair and reached up for dad to lift him up.
He lifted Jacob up and held us close and kissed our heads and said, “Its okay kids we’re all going to be alright.”
And I fell asleep in his arms that felt so warm.
I looked up at Edward and he said, “You have quite a memory and you were only what? Six?”
“Yes.”
“What memory,” Jacob said.
“The one about the dia you guys got tested for the gene,” Edward answered.
“What about it?”
“You have 24 genetic pair and she has 23 and a half.”
“So?”
“I saw it in her head and she remembers it quite well and so do you except not in as much detail.”
He glared at Edward and I said, “Jacob he’s already going to get that from dad. Just stop it.”
“Fine.”
I leaned on Jacob and said, “You’re so much like dad sometimes but you’re like mom usually.”
“Your never either of them, well you shift into dad sometimes and sometimes into mom but your mais of your own person,” Jacob said.
I hugged him and he said, “eh, eh, not at school.”
I laughed and said, “Whatever.”
He smiled brightly like dad and Edward made a growling sound and we both turned to him.
Alice said, “oh don’t worry about him he’s in his mind and memory and your just so much like your mom and dad in looks that its all he can se right now. He still hurts from what happened.”
Mom leaving him for dad. I didn’t see what made her do that even though I loved dad.
Edward looked up and said, “Yea it’s not my favorito memory but your dads for her.”
I smiled lightly and said, “Well its time for genetics class.”
Edward and Emmett got up and Emmett said, “I could carry you there.”
“Shut up,” I said bumping my hip into his.
He laughed and said, “If your no lobo then why are you so strong?”
“The half of my twenty three pairs gives me abilities heightened over a regular human.”
“So your not as breakable.”
“You could probably still break me but you’d have to use a little mais strength than you would on mom.”
He smiled and said, “I think I like this one.”
Edward looked at him and said, “Mhm…”
We walked into genetics and Edward sat down seguinte to me and the teacher handed us a syllabus.

“Doesn’t look like we’ll be here for genetic pairs or blood typing.”
“You can hardly come to any of them.”
“Why?”
“You don’t have parents remember!”
“Ah I’ll just say I remember them I have to come somehow.”
I smiled and said, “Why can’t you come for genetic pairs?”
“I have 25.”
“Overachiever!”
He laughed and said, “So are you.”
“By a half not 2!”
“Your dad and brother are too por one.”
“Yea you freaks of nature.”
“You are too!”
“I’m like a hybrid right?”
“Mhmm…”
“Nice.”
I looked at him, he was so beautiful pale and flawless skin, wavy bronze hair, and golden caramelo eyes.
He looked at me and I blushed, he saw what I was thinking.
“Don’t worry your just one of all the girls in here thinking it.”
And for a segundo just a segundo I was angry, angry cause somewhere deep inside I thought he was mine.
