I roamed the streets of Forks, rain falling down around my shoulders, the hood keeping the rain from my hair. I was looking at all that Forks had to offer. It wasn't big, or as resourceful as Phoenix, but I'd always admired rain, and wind. Phoenix was hot, all year around, and if it rained it was still hotter than hell. My sister, Bella, hated Forks and loved Phoenix, but she came here because we both knew that my mom wanted to go on road with Phil.

I took my coat off of my shoulders and sat down at a bench that was near the police station. I looked into the woods surrounding Forks as I felt my shirt begin to soak as it absorbed the rain.

This place may have everyone else fooled that it was just a sane, normal town, but I could feel the intense presence of something otherworldly here.

I was seventeen like my sister Bella, but I wasn't actually her brother. My mother was Renee's sister, but I was born three days before Bella. September 10th was my birthday, Bella's the 13th. There was a problem with my birth. My mom, Cynthia, died giving birth to me.

They had to perform an emergency sea section to save my life because they announced my mother brain dead. The strange thing was that once me and Bella were one Renee took us away to Phoenix.

Something strange happened though. Charlie thought of me as a son, and I thought of him as a father, but it was strange to Renee because we weren't actually related. I didn't care though, I'd come for a month in the summer to stay with Charlie because I connected with this place. Once Bella stopped coming at fourteen, I'd still come over every summer.

This was a home to me, but even I felt foreign here. I'd loved this place for the past sixteen years.

I slammed the door to the red truck Charlie bought for Bella as a home welcoming gift. I just slung my back pack around my shoulders not bothering for a jacket and marched into the office. Bella at my heels. She kept glancing at me like I was crazy or something.

"Honestly Cameron if you don't wear a jacket you're going to catch a cold," she said as we entered the office building.

"I'm use to it Bella, I have been coming here more often than you have," I said before going to the front desk.

"Bella, and Cameron Swan," I said.

"Oh of course," she said and grabbed two maps, and schedules, "your dad has been speaking of you guys since you announced your move out here," she said gleefully.

We both just smiled and took our things before exiting the building. Bella left to move the truck, but I headed off to my first period, English with Mr. Banner. I walked to the building, and entered quickly. Looking up at the clock I realized that I was three minutes late.

I walked to the front and handed Mr. Banner my slip. He looked at me skeptically before signing quickly. He pointed to a desk, and I rushed to sit down. I was just relieved that it was one way in the back so I didn't have to be under the constant stares of the people around me, but somehow they all managed to stare at me anyway.

Sitting down, at first I didn't see the person sitting next to me, but I did smell something sweet radiating from that person. I ignored it at first, but the sweet scent was too glorious too ignore. I looked over and saw the most beautiful person on the face of this green earth. Even a guy could notice that this one was beautiful, I knew that because I wasn't the only person sneaking a look at this boy.

He had blonde hair, was well built, and looked to be about nineteen, but I had a sense he was really only seventeen. I knew how that went when you looked a lot older than you were. I looked up to make sure that Mr. Banner wasn't looking before I said anything.

"Hello," I said, "I'm Cameron Swan," I said holding out my hand. The man looked at me, and his face made him look kind of constipated. I looked down at his body language and he seemed like he was fighting against himself.

"My name is Ja-Jasper Ha-Hal-Hale," he stuttered, but something about the way he stuttered made me think that he was fighting against something inwardly. He quickly grabbed my hand and shook it once before snatching his fingers away.

He then turned away and stared intently at Mr. Banner. I looked at him confused, why was he so afraid to talk to me. I was new not some disease that would kill him. I turned away from him and focused on Mr. Banner again, but totally confused by what I did to deserve this treatment. The bell rang, and I jolted off my seat and headed for my next class, but got lost around the cafeteria so by the time I did find physics class I was again late. This time by ten minutes.

"I see someone doesn't want to come to class," Mr. Varner said.

"Sorry I got lost because I read my map wrong," I explained. Mr. Varner just chuckled as he took the slip from me, signed, and then pointed me again to a desk in the back. I started to notice a pattern though because the blonde boy I saw from my last class was sitting there again. He went rigid as soon as I passed the desk and sat down in a chair.

"I'm detecting a pattern here," I chuckled expecting him to laugh too, but he just turned his head away, biting his bottom lip. I sighed as I again decided to ignore his presence.

The bell rang once more and I headed off to my next class U.S. History. This time I was on time, and I gave the slip to Mrs. Strophy. She was a tall blonde women, she wasn't beautiful like the boy Jasper was, but she was beautiful in the natural way. If she wanted to I could guess she could become an actress.

She pointed me to a seat in the back, and I was surprised that he was sitting there again. Was I just crazy, or did he seem to be the odd man out, and everyone else avoided him that's why all the classes I had with him I was forced to sit by him.

I didn't mind it, but he didn't seem to welcome my presence. He looked up when he saw me again, and he glared, his eyes flashing a deep red. I thought I'd imagined it because a second later they were back to a golden liquid color.

"Is there a reason you hate me so much," I said and plopped down in my seat and angled it right at him. I heard a hissing sound, and thought for a second it was coming from him.

He didn't even bother to answer me. He just turned and continued listening to Mrs. Strophy. I sighed and turned my seat to listen as well. After a while of listening though I no longer had to force it because Mrs. Strophy had some kind of energy that radiated from her that washed a pool of comfort, and safety through you.

"Now before you leave everybody, I was you to look at your partners and get to know them a bit more," she said when it came down to the last five minutes. I could tell she was doing this for my benefit because everyone here had been in school together since the beginning of the year.

I looked over at Jasper, hoping he'd try to talk to me, but he continued to look away from me. Mrs. Strophy was watching me so I turned and talked to the person across the aisle from me. I jumped in shock when I saw Bella.

"Fancy meeting you here," I said, and we both laughed. People were looking at us weirdly. I guess even in this small town sibling were suppose to hate each other. It's a good thing that we weren't technically siblings because then the world might actually fall to pieces. I laughed out loud at the thought.

"So how's your day been going," she asked. I glanced over at Jasper, but she didn't seem to notice.

"It's been going okay, people stare at me wherever I go," I said, and then something washed over me like I was dipped into a vast abyss of comfort, and happiness. I looked at Jasper again, but stayed focused on Bella.

"Me too, but I've made friends, how about you," she glanced at Jasper this time. I shook my head no, but I had tried to be his friend but he didn't seem at all interested.

The bell rang than, and I walked with my sister as we headed off for lunch.

I was paying for my food when I came to a consensus. I was going to confront him right here, right now in this lunch room. Bella was joined by a girl named Jessica, who I found pretty, but self absorbed, and a big gossiper.

I looked around for him, and found him surround by four people who were just as beautiful as he was, but the one that I found most beautiful was the other blonde girl. She was literally breathtaking, and if I had a choice of who was most beautiful she'd win hands down.

I didn't bother with pleasantries when I hovered over there table. All their eyes shot up to meet my face. I slammed my tray down right in front of Jasper. He looked up at me started. I felt something tugging at me to calm down, but I ignored it.

"What is your problem," I hissed out, anger radiating from every pore of my body. The four of his siblings looked at me with stunned awareness.

He tried to turn away from me again. I glared at him. "Not only have I tried to be civilized with you for the past three hours, but for you to sit there and ignore me is insulting," I snapped. He still didn't look up, but his four family members were looking at me with amazement. The bronze hair boy was looking at me intently.

"You know if I wanted to be insulted for being a new kid than I would hang around the jocks of this school. If there was even enough people for that," I said. My whole body was vibrating with anger.

"Look at me," I hissed and slammed my fist onto the table. A wave of blue electricity shot from my body and shot across the table. It slammed into Jasper and he was flung over the side of the chair and hit the ground hard.

Everyone looked at me in the cafeteria, all of them looking at me with surprise that I'd hit a Hale I guess. The Cullens though were looking at me with pure shock, they thought I was crazy.

I grabbed Jasper and pulled him to his feet. "I'm so sorry," I said before standing up, grabbing the water from my tray, and racing out of the cafeteria. I didn't bother to wait to see if Bella was fallowing me. I just took off down the road from the school heading back to my house.

"What just happened," Edward growled at Jasper as he looked down at the table that had a light trail of a singe mark.

"I don't know, I tried to calm him down but he was so angry that he resisted my influence," Jasper said.

"I like him," Alice sing song voice said as she stared off towards the exit.

"Alice this is not the time to be considering letting someone else in on the secret," Edward snapped. "I couldn't read his mind, and that scares me."
