Jenny's POV

The next day Edward wasn't at school, which I found unusual. The Cullens usually only weren't here on sunny days. But Alice told me he is sick. Which I found even more strange, the Cullens never got sick. Not even last years when the flu swept through the school and I got it. But I didn't question it.

Even with my theory with them not being human. Edward being away doesn't prove anything. Like when they all disappear when it's sunny. Which is the only real evidence I have on my theory, aside from some physical traits. But again, it's not my business. So I continued on like nothing was odd.

Bella seems to have settled in well to life in Forks. She has six new friends. Jessica, Angela, Mike, Tyler, Eric and Lauren. Though I think she only hangs with Lauren, because Lauren is best friends with Jessica. Bella also discovered that Charlie couldn't cook much besides fried eggs and bacon.  And that I couldn't cook at all.

So she requested that she be assigned kitchen detail for the duration of her stay. Dad was willing enough to hand over the keys to the banquet hall. Aka, the kitchen. I must admit, Bella can cook. Must have learnt from her mother.

I've become more withdrawn at home. Dad and Bella making most of the conversation. He went on a small rant when Bella said how the Cullens were a little different. And how he is proud that I became friends with them. Even though we hardly speak or see each other out of school. Unless Alice wanted my advice on a shopping spree. Which she wouldn't let me pay for my own clothes. It's bad enough they pay me for the clothes I design for them, I should be allowed to pay for my own clothes when we go shopping.

Anyway, the rest of Bella's fist week was uneventful. At least, from what I could tell. I've hardly talked to her since her first day of school. She seemed to of gotten into a routine at school. Though Edward Cullen didn't come back to school for the rest of that week. Which again, is strange. But I didn't focus on it, as it's not any of my business. Yes, we're friends. But his siblings would have told me if it was something serious.

Bella's first weekend in Forks passed without incident. Dad, unused to spending time with me at home, worked most of the weekend. I helped Bella clean the house, we both got ahead on our homework, and Bella wrote to her mom. It's now Monday and the start of Bella's second week at school. We parked next to each other and people greeted Bella happily. She waved back with a smile as I headed off to my first class.

"So Jenny, what's Bella like?" Emmet asks  and Rosalie gives him a look. "What?" he asks with a shrug.

"She's ok I guess, pretty clumsy. She is reclusive, quiet, insecure but kind-hearted, compassionate and caring towards others" I explain.

"Then why don't you get along?" Rosalie asks me confused.

"It's not like we hate each other, we've just never had much in common. Honestly I feel like dad likes her more then me some days, they're a lot alike" I state. "How's Edward?" I ask changing the subject. As it starts to snow outside. Great, I hate snow. Though not as much as Bella.

"Funny you should mention Edward, he's back" Emmet tells me.

"That's good, I think my sister was worried about him. They're lab partners in Biology apparently and she asked about him" I tell them.

"Really?" Rosalie asks.

"Think she likes him?" Emmet asks teasingly and I chuckle.

"I'm pretty sure every single girl in his year likes him" I state and he laughs. "But I honestly wouldn't know, Bella has never dated anyone and we've never talked boys. So I have no idea what her type is" I explain.

Morning classes were good and uneventful. I had history with Jasper and Rosalie. We were on the civil war. Then a free study period, which I spent in the library. Before I headed to the cafeteria. Where I sit down beside Edward. "Long time Edward, surprised it took you so long to get better" I state.

"Better" he says.

"You were sick" I remind him.

"Oh yeah, all better now" he assures me. Alice places a tray of food in front of me.

"I could of gotten my own food" I tell her.

"I know, but I'm not hungry" she states as she sits by Jasper. She pecks his cheek. "By the way, it'll stop snowing before lunch ends" she tells me.

"Thank god" I say as I open the soda can. Alice is amazing at predicting the weather. I tell her she should look at being a weather girl and we just laugh. I notice Edward staring at my sister again and roll my eyes. Before focusing on my food. When the bell rings I get to my feet. "Enjoy Biology with my sister" I say teasingly to Edward before heading to my next class.

(Time skip)

"So I spoke to Edward today in Biology" Bella states as we lounge in our room.

"How did it go?" I ask her mildly curious.

"We completed our task in biology first, talked about the weather, how I noticed something different about his eyes and about why I moved to Forks" she lists off.

"He's not usually that chatty" I tell her.

"He apparently finds me difficult to read" she states shrugging.

"Strange, I always saw you as an open book when we were kids. Still do for the most part" I tell her.

"This is nice" she tells me.

"What?" I ask as I look at her. To see her giving me a small sincere smile.

"Us talking, like normal people" she answers. I sigh and close my sketch book. "Did I say something wrong?" she asks me concerned. As I put my sketch book on my bedside table.

"No, I just don't know if we should get to close" I tell her. "I mean I go to college next year, wouldn't it be easier if we didn't bond?" I ask her.

"I guess so, but we're sisters and sharing a room. And I miss you" she states. "So can we please talk more?" she asks.

"I guess so" I tell her. "Anything else happen at school today?" I ask her.

"Not really, we had volleyball in Gym and I sucked" she states.

"You were never very coordinated" I say with a chuckle. "Guess you get it from your mum's side" I add.

"What makes you say that?" she asks confused.

"Well I'm not clumsy like you and neither is dad" I state.

"I guess you're right" she muses. She starts to do her homework. While I scold myself. Why am I letting her in? It'll only hurt more when I have to leave next year for college. It's bad enough I have to say goodbye to dad. If I get close to Bella, it'll only hurt more when I leave. But she's my little sister and contrary to what I thought. It's not so bad sharing a room with her. She's easy to talk to and it feels natural. Maybe I should take Alice's advice and get to know my sister. Though I'd never admit that to Alice.
