I've been grumbling and sulking all the way here. My name is Melissa Taylor, I'm seventeen with divorced parents. I'm currently staying with my dad in Alaska because my mum was married with a baby and she planned to move to California with her new husband and kid. I thought they might want some privacy so I did them a favor and moved in with my dad. He had been living in Dubai when I made this decision but I got there and the next week, he had a promotion and we had to move. I had put up quite a fight but I didn't have a choice. My mum was already gone.
We parked in front of a two storey house. White to match the surrounding. My dad turned off the car and we stepped out.
"Honey, I noticed that you've been moody during the trip but I got you something that I hope will cheer you up a bit."
My dad held out his hand and in it, sat a car key. The marks said it was BMW. I looked at it unbelievingly then raised my gaze to look at him. He was looking at something over my shoulder. I turned slowly and followed his gaze. My eyes zeroed when I saw it. Sitting at the garage door, was a BMW X6. My mouth fell open with a loud pop. I heard my dad chuckle once and I turned back to look at him. He was grinning broadly at me.
"Black to match your hair." He said when he saw that I was speechless.
"I don't know what to say. Thank you." I gave him a big hug stepped away and ran to my new car practically screaming in joy. I sat in the drivers seat and thought, well, here might not be so bad after all.
The next day was Monday. Great. I'd already groaned internally when I'd gotten up. I descended the stairs and found my dad had gone to work. There was a note on the refrigerator door telling where my new school was and how I was to get there. Perfect. School was to start at 8:30. It was only 7:45. There was still time. I had the smoothest ride ever. Not counting the unleveled snow. My car (I was still touched when I thought of it this way) was silent as it ghosted through the tight roads.
I arrived at school around 8:15 to meet the parking lot almost full. I looked around me and notice that all the cars here were kind of posh. A thought crossed my mind; this school was for rich kids. I stepped out and leaned on the side of the car taking in the surrounding. The school itself was a big three storey made of red brick stones. All of a sudden, a girl with long brown hair, green eyes and a baby face walked up to me.
"Hey, you're new right?"
"Right. Hey I'm Melissa Taylor. You are?"
"I'm Alex, Alex Granger. Welcome to Valdimalt Academy."
"Thanks."
"You've got a nice car. It's only been out recently and very few people have it. My friends and I love it. You'll meet them soon."
"That's nice. This school is like posh."
"Yea but not really I hear that its nothing compared to some in other countries. You know we call the school Vampire Academy." She laughed.
"Why?" I asked her.
"Just a joke."
It was there where I stood with Alex making conversation that I saw them. They came in two cars. An upgraded Porsche that must have cost a fortune and an Audi. Even in this posh school, it was obvious that they stood out. They filed out and that's when I noticed I've never seen anything like them. They were all pale except for one boy who had russet skin. Paler than anybody else in this sunless town.
From the Porsche, a blonde boy came with a black haired girl with spiky hair. From the other side of the car came the boy with russet skin. He was buff and looked old for his age. By his side, came a girl with bronze colored ringlets that fell way past her waist.
From the other car, the Audi, a guy that looked like a serious weight lifter stepped out with a blonde haired beauty that I wouldn't have thought existed. Last came a bronze haired boy. He looked younger than the other boys and probably more beautiful. That was what I concluded them as. Beautiful.
"Who are they?" I asked Alex in a whisper.
She looked at whom I was talking about although I knew that she knew exactly who I'm talking about.
"The Cullens" she answered also in a whisper. "They're Mr. and Mrs. Cullens foster kids. They moved here from Forks a few years ago. The blondes are the Hales. Jasper and Rosalie. The tan like boy is Jacob Black. The dark haired boy's Emmett, the one with spiky hair is Alice, the girl with ringlets Reneesme but she prefers Nessie. The boy with bronze hair is Edward. The ones with dark hair are the Cullens."
"They look like they are together." I added with another peek at them.
"Oh yes they are together. Rosalie and Emmett. Alice and Jasper. Nessie and Jacob. Edward and Bella. Then there is Seth Clearwater." She said with a matter of fact.
I looked for this Bella and Seth Clearwater. But I didn't see them join the group. So I asked "Who's Bella and Seth?"
"They are." Alex looked pointedly at the entrance. I followed her gaze and saw at the same time as I heard two motorbikes enter into the parking lot. The people sitted on them were as different in size as Rosalie and Jacob. They were both wearing black jackets and black helmets. They parked next to the two cars and hopped down. The mysterious Bella removed her helmet first. She shook down a long brown hair that fell to her waist. She was facing away from me to the other biker. She held out her hand in a sort of high five to Seth who had also token of his helmet. He was also facing away from me but from what I could see, he had black hair and a sort of tan like the other one. He gave her a high five then said something that made Bella give him a mock punch. Bella walked up to the others with Seth next to her. She reached Edward and gave him a kiss on the lips. It looked like the others were waiting for the new addition to move. Edward said something to the others and all of them turned to look at where I was standing with Alex. I looked down quickly but not before I had gotten a look at the late comers. Bella was almost as breath taking as Rosalie. She too was pale with such beauty that it hurt to look. Seth was different. He was just ordinary. Although he too had his own beauty. It was just not the same as the others. I sneaked a peak and saw the last of them vanish into the school building.
"Come on," Alex nudged me "class is about to start. I'll show you the secretary's office. But first I want you to meet my friends."
I followed her to where a group of boys and girls stood.
"Why'd you walk away from us like that?" a boy with blond hair and blue eyes asked.
"Shut up Jack. Guys this is Melissa. She's new."
"Hey Melissa" they said together.
"Hi." I said shyly.
"I swear if we're late I'll kill you." Jack said to Alex with his eyes sparkling.
"You guys go ahead I'm going to show her the secretary's office." Alex informed them.
"You've already been in trouble for ditching class. You don't want to get in trouble again do you? I'll take her and rush off." A boy with untidy black hair said.
"Um I guess your right. Miley, this is James he'll show you the way ok. I've got to rush. Come on guys lets go." Alex added to the others. We rushed off into the school and when we reached the second floor, we split up. James and I walked straight down the hall to a door reading SECRETARY. The others went off in the opposite direction.
I opened the door and stepped partly into a glowing room. It had a walnut desk with two chairs in front and behind it was a lady with moon rimmed glasses. She had her hair tied up in a bun and it was gray in places. Sitting in the two chairs were two girls. One was black haired that was spiky and the other a bronze color that fell in ringlets. I instantly recognized them as the two Cullen kids from the parking lot.
As we entered, they got up, said thank you to the secretary and turned to leave. We were standing at the door so they stopped a few feet away and the one with the spiky hair who was in front said "Excuse us please." In a high soprano voice.
"Sure" I leaned on the side of the door to allow just enough space for them to pass through.
I turned and watched them walk away into the same class as Alex just had.
"Do I stay or can I rush off?" James asked me. I didn't want to get him into trouble so I said
"It's okay I guess I can find my own way. Thanks."
He went down the stairs to his class. I sat on one of the chairs.
"Good morning ma'am. I'm Melissa Taylor. I'm new here and I was told to come over to you."
"Of course," she said. She went into a drawer and drew out a file. "I have your schedule here and a map around school."
From the file, she drew out two sheets and handed them over. I got up said thank you and turned to leave.
My first class was art. Great. It was somewhere in the left wing. I walked back down the stairs and found yet other Cullens. This time, it was the two blondes and the big pale guy. I was staring so hard at them that I miss my step and almost fell. I caught myself just in time. Looking back, I saw them looking at me with some sort of humor in their eyes. They turned a second later and continued. It seemed like they were in the middle of a conversation about some sort of game because I heard Rosalie say at the top of the stairs, "Come on Emmett accept that he beat you and just call it off."
I was left wondering who could beat Emmett. He looked like he could crush anyone in a physical fight. I finally found the art room and walked in. Class had already started so I gave the teacher my permission slip and he led me to a corner. He gave me all the materials and said that I was to paint what ever I wanted.
He left me alone in my own world. I started to draw circles and shapes. When my drawing was done, I began on painting it. While filling in the middle triangle with red, my paint fell and rolled to the person next to me. I bent to get it but a perfectly manicured white hand beat me to it. I sat up and found myself facing another Cullen. It looked like they were everywhere. This time, it was Bella Cullen. Looking at her up close was even worst. She was more than the word beautiful. Rosalie still beat her though but so what. Her eyes were a topaz color. Her lips were bright pink with her skin tone. Her hair hung like curtains framing her perfect face. She gave me a small smile and her teeth were completely white.
"Thanks," I said and took my bottle. I notice the guy next to her turn and my breathing stopped completely. It was Edward Cullen. I knew he was taken and that I couldn't and wouldn't even compete with Bella but I couldn't help but marvel at his perfection.
His hair was bronze like Renesmee's but it his hair was short and untidy. He turned to look at me then smiled. My breathing which had stopped accelerated as did my heartbeat. Bella looked at me with her eyebrows raised and somehow, I had the feeling that she heard it. I turned in my seat and continued my work. I wasn't concentrating much so I went over a few places with the wrong paints. In the end, I took my paint brush and closing my eyes, moved it in different directions without much concentration. I did it with a few more colors and then time was up. We were told to place our work up front. The others were good but the best were Bella and Edwards. Bella made a painting of Edward and Edward made one of Bella.
I had biology next. Like I said it was like these Cullens were everywhere. Well this time it was Nessie Cullen, Jacob Black and Seth Clearwater. Jacob and Nessie were sitted together on the lab table in the back. Seth was sitted in front of them and looked like he was trying to look at anywhere but them. Our eyes met and suddenly I felt a feeling I had never felt before. I looked down quickly and when I looked back, he was still staring at me. I walked to the teachers' desk and gave him my slip. He showed me my sit. It was next to Seth Clearwater. Perfect. I took my sit and turned to him. "Uh, uh" someone murmured behind me. But I didn't care. All of a sudden I didn't care about anything but Seth.
"Come on Ness. I have to tell Edward," I heard the chairs behind us move and two people passed us.
"Hi. I'm Melissa. You are?"
"Hey I'm Seth Clearwater." We shook hands and I felt as though a current had passed through me. Wow I thought.
Jacobs POV
I heard Seth let out a low sigh as the new girl sat next to him. I looked at him and saw him looking at her like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time.
"Uh, uh" I murmured. Nessie was looking at me with a puzzled look. "Come on Ness. I have to tell Edward."
I dragged her along. We stopped at the teacher's desk and Nessie started asking for permission to leave. I looked back and both Seth and the new girl were looking at each other like they were mad.
"Alright but hurry back," the teacher said.
When we were clearly out of earshot, Nessie caught me by the arm and I turned to look at her.
"What's up Jake? Why do we have to see my dad?" she asked.
I ignored her first question and answered the second.
"Seth imprinted."
She took a minute to absorb that then said, "What? You mean with the new girl?" I nodded and started towards Edwards Spanish class. Before we got to the door, he came out with Emmett and Bella.
"Seriously?" he asked without even stopping.
"Yeah. She stepped in and the second he looked at her in the eye bam. It happened. I've lived with people looking like that long enough to know the signs."
"Hang on," said Emmett "what happened?"
"Seth imprinted on the new girl." I explained.
There was a few moments of silence then Bella said quietly "Well that complicates things."
"Definitely." Emmett agreed.
"That means she will know the truth," Nessie said "Rosalie won't like this."
"How about we wait till we get home? We can tell Carlisle and Esme and then we shall decide. Not that we have a choice now."
"Emmett we can't wait that long. Seth might have told her by next lesson," Bella said.
"So what do we do now?" asked Nessie.
"Emmett, Edward and Jake you guys will go and drag Seth out of there if you have to, Nessie and I will go get Alice, Jasper and Rose," Bella answered.
We rushed off back to my class. We went to the teacher who was standing in the middle of the class teaching something about how to identify cells.
"Excuse me sir," Edward cut him off rather rudely "my dad just called and said that it was urgent that all of us go home right away. It is an emergency."
"Sure. Seth Clearwater," he called out. It seemed like Seth didn't even hear him. He and the girl were still locked in their own world.
"Don't worry we'll take care of that," Emmett offered.
We moved to Seth and the two of us carried him by the elbows out of the room. The entire class was watching this with wide eyes. The girl was completely out of her mind. She actually made a movement like she also wanted to follow but the look Edward gave her made her change her mind.
The girls were waiting for us at the parking lot. Alice and Bella had the bikes. Nessie, Jasper and Rose in the Audi. Edward stepped into the drivers' seat of the Porsche and Emmett, Seth and I got into the back seat.
Them Nessie went first followed by us and Alice and Bella on either side of us. The snow had been cleared off the road so it was easier to drive fast. Half way home, Edward threw me his phone with a "Call Carlisle and tell him to meet us back home now. Tell him it's urgent." I did what I was told. I finished and gave him back the phone.
"Do you guys always look like this when you imprint or what?" Emmett asked looking at Seth with raised eyebrows, "cause that's just sick."
Seth looked like he wasn't here. He was looking at the ceiling without seeing it. His face held and expression I hoped would never show on my face.
"No we don't. Or I hope we don't." I answered. We had reached the house by now. Edward parked in the garage beside the Audi. Carlisle's car was on the other side. Damn even with Edwards's maniac driving, the doctor beat him. We should arrange a race.
I had to slap Seth a few times before he got out of his mad state.
We went into the sitting room to meet the doctor and Esme there sitted with worried expressions on their faces.
"It's alright. No one died. Yet." Edward assured them.
"What do you mean yet?" Carlisle asked him.
"Exactly. These two just came and dragged us out of class. Bella said you'd explain." Rosalie looked at him with her arms crossed.
"Seth imprinted on the new girl in school."
A few seconds passed in absolute silence. Then Rosalie lost it.
"What the hell do you mean by "Seth imprinted on the new girl'?" she yelled at him.
"Well Rose, he imprinted on Melissa Taylor. The new girl we saw at the parking lot."
She looked at Seth like she wanted to kill him actually I was sure she did. Seth also saw that look in her eyes and held out his hands to defend himself
"Hey it's not my fault its nature."
She crouched down and Seth began to back up. Carlisle was faster and was standing in front of Seth in a millisecond.
"Rose calm down he is right it is not his fault…. We'll find a way to resolve this problem… I hope." He murmured the last part to himself. All of a sudden a calm emotion came over us. Jasper. Rosalie stalked of with one deathly look back at Seth.
"I'm sorry." Seth said to us looking at his feet.
"It's not your fault Seth we'll figure it out." Bella said soothingly.
"Thanks bells. I can go back to school now right?" he looked up at Carlisle pleadingly with a hopeful look in his eyes. The kid had totally lost it.
"No Seth you go tomorrow." Carlisle answered while Emmett's snickering changed to his booming laugh.
"Okay" he said and ran off into his room probably to dream about his love. Edward covered his mouth with his hand and nodded to me then took Bellas hand and ran upstairs closely followed by Emmett and Alice and Jasper. Ew. Well what can I say like mother like daughter. Nessie grab my arm and took of in the direction of our room.
NEXT DAY.
Melissa's POV.
Last night I laid in bed all night thinking of Seth. I had gone through my first day in a daze and they had never came back. I hope he is in school today. It is 7:15 and I was already to go. I ate breakfast without tasting the food and dressed without knowing what I had on. I decided that it wouldn't hurt to leave the house a little early so I took of towards school.
Bless him he was standing alone next to the Porsche probably waiting for his family. I got out of the car and saw him walking towards me and immediately my heart accelerated. He reached me and stood a foot away from me.
"Hey Seth what's up" I asked trying to make conversation. His face brightened up at that.
"Hey Melissa I'm good what but you?"
"Couldn't sleep last night" I blurted before thinking. Damn. To cover up my mistake I asked him quickly "How come you're here alone?"
"Cause my family thinks I'm nuts for coming out too early."
I laughed freely "I'm sure if I had brothers or sisters they'll think the same of me."
We laughed together and it became easier talking after that. I didn't notice the parking lot had become populated as we spoke until a tinkling laugh was heard behind Seth. He groaned loudly and turned to the sound. I looked up and notice everyone was looking at us.
I turned to were Seth was looking and saw the other dark russet skinned guy and his bronze haired girlfriend walking towards us.
Ok first fanfic tell me what you think.
