"raymundo! ramiro! ¡muévete!¹" i shout from out the front door as i then got to my car and hopped inside. mami was content with taking the younger ones to the reservation herself, even though she was still on her own time off. (1: hurry up!)

"god, they're slower than me." i grumble as i put my things in the back seat and fished for my keys. looks like i really did need the nap yesterday, because i woke up this morning, sleeping through dinner, refreshed. it so wasn't due to a dream i had about a certain cullen, or maybe it was. i won't say for certain.

 i looked up and saw bella approaching me with her hands in the pockets of her jacket. she looked nervous, and i can understand why. 

"hey." she started, waving to me. i waved back, and left the back door open as ramiro and raymundo raced to the car, wanting shotgun. i could feel my eye twitch in irritation but did nothing to interfere as ramiro won. ray was the one who noticed bella, but said nothing out of awkwardness and got into the back seat. 

"ignore them." i say, keys in hand as bella nods some. "they're my brothers, ramiro in passenger and raymundo in the back." i say, and then looked to bella. "the school isn't far from here, so you shouldn't get lost if you ever go rogue while driving." i teased, which got her to chuckle some before nodding and heading back to her pickup truck.

'that thing really is a sight.' i thought, getting into the car and starting the engine as the twins began to bombard me with questions about bella. i told them the basics, she's charlie's daughter and is around my age. 

"ooh, ¡alice va a estar muy celosa!²" raymundo from the back said with a smirk as ramiro agreed with wide smirks. i rolled my eyes, pulling out of the driveway and drove to school. i continue to ignore their comments, as well as my heart thumping at the thought of alice indeed being jealous of bella, even though it may not likely happen. (2: alice is gonna be so jealous!)

we made it to the school parking lot, and i parked near the front with bella pulling in the spot next to me. i got out along with my brothers, raymundo handing me my bag before they both waved bye and headed inside to their friends.

"nice ride." i roll my eyes to hearing tyler comment on bella's truck, and how his friends chuckles followed after. 

after saying a firm thanks, bella followed as i took her to the receptionist desk so we could grab her schedule. i haven't seen the others yet, but then again class was about to start, so i had a feeling they're already making their way to class. 

"english, then gym, trig, and spanish.." bella listed out her class, and i peaked over her shoulder to look as well.

"sweet, we have trigonometry together." i pointed out, pointing to said class. before i could lead the way to her first class, another voice called out.

"you're isabella swan right?" eric approached with a smile, which startled bella and she bumped shoulders with me, who placed a hand on her arm to prevent her from tripping. "hi, i'm eric, the eyes and ears of this place. anything you need, tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to try on?" i roll my eyes playfully to his helpless flirting, as we slowly walked down the hall. clearly, bella was uncomfortable, and it doesn't help that every other person walking by was looking our way, more like her way.
