River's Pov
Being a human in a household full of vampires? What a very nice thought to think about. It's like being a deer surrounded by a pack of wolves. Which would be the correct way to think of the household I am in. But I can't really think that way because it was my adopted family. If it wasn't for Carlisle and Esme I would still be in a foster system in a place I didn't feel like myself at all.
I loved my family. Even if they were really different from me. Alice was the one I could go to for hints about my future, which sometimes she could other times she'd give me that playful look and say I had to wait and see.
Emmett would play video games with me, or just plain help me with my homework which I wanted no parts in doing either.
Rosalie was this beautiful sister I had who would sit down with me, and hold me in her arms and talk to me when I didn't feel like myself and when I didn't believe in myself like I wanted to.
And then that left Edward and Jasper. My head was pressed against the marble kitchen countertop, all my homework spread around.
I was in half sleep/awake slumber. Jasper and Edward were different from the rest of my siblings because aside from the fact I had a bond with them.
I freaked out the slightest when around my two brothers. I was pretty sure Jasper could sense it as well. Whenever he came around I would quickly make an excuse about having to leave. Or that I was tired.
He was pretty curious about it, to say the least. It wasn't because he wasn't used to being around human blood.
It was more the fact he made me nervous and my heart speed up for some reason. While on the other hand Edward just made me a plain, confusing freak out mess.
Not only could he read my mind, but he gave off this charming smile, and this chuckle that would make anyone go crazy or in my case, question my sexuality.
I always came home first before my other siblings cause for one, I always ditched my last class since I didn't really need it to graduate, So I would do the stupidest thing. I would walk all the way back home in the forest. I haven't died yet which is a plus one for a wild sixteen-year-old like me.
"I still don't understand how you get home before us River." I lifted my head up with a small groan, holding my temple at the sound of Emmett's voice in the kitchen and looked to see everyone finally had made it home.
Esme was somewhere in the house cleaning up, and Carlisle was still gonna be at the hospital for a few more hours.
"That is my secret, that you will never find out." I joked feeling him walk past me ruffle up my tuff of curls pressing a light kiss to my temple with a smile.
"I know why." Alice beamed leaning against the counter with a smile glancing at my homework curious like.
"Alice you better not," I warned with a loud whine the headache pounding against my skull at a fast rate, hearing a small chuckle release from Edward as he sat up on the counter so close to me making my heart speed up.
"What about you ditching?" He questioned quietly picking up one of my textbooks looking through it.
"Damn you, Edward," I whined watching him laugh quietly, "No one was suppose to know." I continued and I hissed whining when Rosalie hit me slightly on my head.
"What was that for," I exclaimed when she sent me a look.
"You're supposed to go to every class, not one, not two, all." She said sternly in a mother hen tone.
"I don't like that class, I don't have to go," I whined again and laid my head back on the counter being hit with a sudden strike of peace, relaxation, and calming scent by Jasper who had his hand pressed on the back of my neck.
Oh God, he never has been this close. I thought but man was it helping me so.
"Thanks, Jasper," I whispered feeling disappointed he pulled away.
"You're welcome." He answered his accent coming through.
"How come you're in AP Biology but don't even like science?" Edward questioned to me and I chuckled lifting my head up again.
"Cause it looks good for colleges to look back on even though I'm failing one of my classes," I whispered that more to myself and I rubbed my face to free tension.
"Is it true we are getting a new student?" I questioned getting up my body feeling so tense stretching myself and my body out sitting at the counter too long messed me up.
"Yep, all day today everyone was talking about it," Jasper answered leaning against the countertop watching me closely.
I tried to avoid contact but it didn't really work well. I use to think him and Alice were a thing because of how close they were. But sometimes you can't always assume.
"I wasn't paying attention today, " I said sheepishly and I rubbed the back of my head.
"Don't worry River, you and her are gonna be great friends," Alice explained with a playful smile laced across her lips as she played with the rings in her finger.
"Come again? She?" I repeated looking between everyone.
"Bella Swan." Edward spoke, "she's chief Charlie Swan's daughter." He explained fully and I tilted my head studying Edward yet again.
Well, that's something new for Forks. I looked at Alice who was giving me a small look of knowing and I thought something and I'm pretty sure Edward heard it cause he looked up as quickly as the thought left my mind.
Jasper, and Edward make me question if I'm gay.
