Hell isn't so bad if you have an angel by your side

New School, new start

***Emmett's POV***

"Today's the day!  You are going to meet your soulmate!"  Alice singed to me as she skipped into the kitchen.

I raised an eyebrow at my "adopted" sister.  "You've got to be kidding.  Just because you all are paired up doesn't mean I have to  be."  I scoffed back.

"I'm never wrong Emmett, you know that."  Alice grinned at me.

"Fine, how will I meet her?"  I decided to humor Alice.

"She's going to be sitting next to you in all your classes."

"So, a human?  Please tell me how that is going to work out in the long run?"  I rolled my eyes.

"She becomes one of us.  Just trust me, and go change your shirt. Put on the grey tee shirt that shows off your muscles.  That's what you end up wearing anyways."

I turned to go change knowing it wouldn't do any good to argue with Alice.   I changed and grabbed my things for school before deciding to drive myself to school separate from my "siblings".  What Alice told me had me thinking the whole twenty minute drive.  I'd never given much thought to a mate before.  All my "siblings" had partners and I never felt the need to have one.  Sure I would date for the fun of it but nothing was ever serious.  Humans never caught my eye, they caught my thirst.  I did wonder what this mysterious girl looked like.  Would she be my perfect match?  Or would we be polar opposites, like my biological parents?  Would she immediately catch my eye or would I not even notice her until Alice pointed her out to me?  Alice said she would sit right next to me in all my classes but, would I still look right past her?

I arrived to the new school much quicker then  I expected.  I parked right next to Edward's Volo and cut the Jeep's engine off. 

"There she is!"  Alice hissed elbowing me in my side.  She pointed to a short red headed girl, exiting a maroon Subaru Crosstrex across the parking lot.  The girl was slender but athletic build, her red hair was down and reached just underneath her rib cage. I watched carefully as she grabbed three bags from her car.  She slung a big sports bag over one shoulder, slipped a backpack over both shoulders, and let a purse hang on one shoulder.  I continued to watch she she started talking to some friends.  Her voice was smooth like an angel's.  I blinked tearing my vision from her.

"That's who I end up with hmm?  I don't know about that Alice, she's pretty short.  Are you sure she can even see me over all the people in her way?"  I joked slinging my backpack over one shoulder.  Alice glared as she followed the rest of us into the building.

"Be nice to her.  She's your future wife." 

I rolled my eyes but deep down I knew that I was going to talk to this beauty if I got the chance.  We got our schedules and saw that we were in barely any classes together which was good for me because then no one could rat me out to Alice.  Not like Edward wasn't reading my mind right now.  I gave him a look asking him not to say anything.  He gave me a slight nod and I felt a pressure let off my chest.  I waved to my siblings as I headed off to my first class, History with a teacher named, Ms. Rowen.  I handed her my necessary paperwork and took my seat at a table.  The seat next to me was empty up until the warning bell rang.  The same red headed girl from earlier slid into the seat with a grin on her face.  It took her a moment to notice me but once she did her eyes got wide. 

"Oh, hi I'm Sawyer O'neal you must be new here."  She extended her hand to me.  I raised an eyebrow in confusion at not smelling any blood in her. 

"Um, hi, I'm Emmett Cullen and yeah my family just moved here from Washington State.  Pleasure to meet you."  I took her hand and was surprised to find it warm like a human's.  I was confused at the lack of thirst being this close to a human.
