Chapter One:

Freak Show

I stood in my new bedroom. I didn't even know where to start unpacking. I hated that I had to move to this little town. It was like nowhere, literally. However, my dad needed a new job. He was Forks, Washington's very own personal police chief and I'm stuck. The freak show from Boston with the weird accent that nobody knows. I plopped back on my bed and looked around rather annoyed like. My dad walked into my room.

"Hey Layla, what you want on your pizza?" He smiled at me and I smiled back. I wanted him to think I was happy.

"Pepperoni and pineapple, dad, like usual." He dialed the pizza place and left my room. I love my dad and all. He's great but he hasn't been the same since my mum left him. I do feel sorry for him but I wish my mum would have taken me with her. I mean she lives in New York and I'm stuck in Forks. Oh well, I might as well make the best of it.

After I unpacked some, my dad yelled up that the pizza was here. I ate in silence. I didn't know what to say and I didn't want to say the wrong thing. I finished and washed the dishes before heading up to shower. I showered and climbed into bed. The patter of rain on the roof was annoying. I wasn't looking forward to the next morning.

I woke up to the same rain I had fallen asleep to. Did it ever not rain here? Probably not. I climbed out of bed and looked out the window. My dad's truck was gone, so I didn't have to fake smile this morning. I threw on a pair of dark blue fade wash skinny jeans and my black high top converse. I ruffled through my box of clothes for a shirt and settled on a blue and black striped baby doll tee. This was finished off with a blue hoodie and my messenger bag. I took off down the stairs two at a time. After a bowl of Captain Crunch I grabbed my keys and headed for my bug. My first day at Forks High School would be my own personal trip to hell in a hand basket. I climbed into the front seat of my navy blue bug and speed off to school. No one would pull over the kid of the chief of police.

In the parking lot, I climbed out and noticed a group of five of the most beautiful people in the world. Each one could have been a model or a movie star. The first one that caught my eye was a girl with a petite figure and short cropped black hair. She remained me of a pixie. Next to her was a tall blonde. He had the face of an angel and a slight muscular build. Then there was a larger guy with dark curly brown locks, almost dark enough to be black like my hair. He looked rather scary and yet at the same time I just wanted to give him a hug like he was a big teddy bear. He was gorgeous to say the very least but I didn't even think that term fit him very well. Next to him was a girl with curly dark chocolate brown hair. She was probably the one guy's sister. She looked enough like him to be. Then I noticed the fifth guy as he kissed her cheek. He had this bronze hair that sat on his head in a messy disarray. He looked like a Greek god. As I looked at them I thought I was having a strange dream. They couldn't be real. They were too inhumanly prefect. The other thing that got me was they all had these topaz colored eyes and the skin was pale white. I was distracted when I ran into someone. I then realized I was flat on my back on the pavement. I looked up to see a blonde haired, blue eyed boy in front of me and the five beautiful people staring in my direction. The boy extended his hand.

"Hey, you okay?" I grabbed his hand and pulled myself to my feet. He smiled at me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I dusted off my jeans and blushed when I noticed the five were still staring at me.

"Well, I'm Mike Newton." He extended a hand for me to shake.

"Hello, Mike, I'm Layla, Layla Sterling." He smiled as I shook his hand. "Who are they over there?" Mike looked to where I was pointing. He then rolled his eyes like he was annoyed.

"The blonde boy is Jasper Whitlock. He's dating the little black haired one, Alice Swan. The brunette is Bella Swan, Alice's sister. They're twins. The bronze haired one is Edward Cullen and the big one is Emmett, Edward's older brother." I looked at Mike. "They're all juniors except Emmett and Jasper."

"Wow." That was all I could say.

"Also, they all live together. They're Dr. Cullen's adoptive kids." He looked at me. "Well, I should get to class. See ya, around."

"Yeah, see ya Mike." He ran off but I didn't even notice. I quickly strolled off to the main office before I embarrassed myself further. I got my schedule and headed off to my class. I was in a twelve grade English because of the advanced program I was in back in Boston. I opened the door and went straight to the teacher. She pointed me to the empty seat next to Emmett Cullen. Great, I have to sit next to one of the three hottest guys I have ever seen and I had embarrassed myself in front of him only minutes before. I sat down and brushed my hair behind my ear. He seemed to glance at me as I did so but I figured I was imagining things. Class started and I remained quiet. Then a piece of paper slipped in front of me.

You okay? I glanced over at him and he smiled.

Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. Why you ask? I slide the paper back over. I was trying to figure out why he was even talking to me.

Just that fall looked like it hurt. I'm Emmett Cullen, by the way. Well, at least he introduced himself. I started to write back.

Nice to meet ya, Emmett. I'm Layla Sterling. I slide the paper back to him again and he chuckled softly. I looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

So, I finally meet the infamous new girl. I looked at the paper and my eyes widened. I hoped that wasn't true.

Oh great, I should have seen that coming. He looked at the paper and chuckled. Then the bell rang. I grabbed my bag and bolted from the room. Only moments later, I ran right smack into something hard and cold. I looked up to see a pair of topaz eyes. Oh great, I've embarrassed myself in front of another one of them. He looked right into my eyes.

"You're not embarrassing yourself." I looked up at him.

"I never said anything about being embarrassed." He looked down at he and then the brunette, Bella I believe, came over towards us.

"Hey, Edward, you know Alice will be mad if we're late." He smiled at me and they both walked away. I stood there stunned still. I was looking at exactly where Edward had been standing. What was with me today? Then I noticed a russet colored hand in front of my face. However, I couldn't get words out.

A/N: So, this was a story idea I had. No, Rosalie won't be appearing in this story. Nothing against her, I just didn't feel like writing about her being a bitch. Also I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this story just yet. My original plan was to have Bella end up with Emmett and Layla with Edward but then I could also put Emmett with Layla. If you guys have any say, let me know. Also please review and I'll give you virtual gummy bears. -Death
