(My creation of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight)
Chapter One
Nikki's Point of View
It was a normal day at school. The second day to be exact, and yet there was so much chat about the new kids at the table. I sat and listened I didn't bother to put in my opinion; I knew it would be washed over with other news.
"OMG! What if their vampires? And they go school to school sucking their innocent victims' blood free!" Matt yelled, our fantasized friend. I rolled my eyes and someone else answered my thought.
"Yeah right that worse then that they were fugitives and escaped some jail on an uncharted island. Now that was stupid," Marie commented getting back into the conversation. They began to argue and I just learned to stay out of it. For a moment I caught on of the new kids' eyes. He glared for a moment then his gaze softened and he turned away. They weren't that interesting, only one was completely beautiful out of them and he stood and strode from the cafeteria. Leaving his family alone where every one's eyes fell on them.
"Eh, okay you know what? Nikki"—oh no—"you go talk to 'em see if they say anything," Marie said everybody looked at me, I sat there my eyes wide for a moment, what were they thinking? Apparently they were not because then Marie was trying to usher me out of my seat, "Go on Nikki! What are they gonna do? Bite?!" Not something I had in mind but if they did, I sure wasn't looking forward to it. She stood up and yanked my roughly from my seat and pushed my toward the table, I threw a look back but she gave a gesture that said Keep going! So I walked over the new kid's table and spoke quietly.
Alice's Point of View
I watched as one of the girls from that noisy table walked over, she seemed so familiar but I couldn't place her. She had black hair to her back and deep brown eyes and yet I still couldn't place her. She turned back to her friend to had pushed her over here and then looked back to us. Jasper stiffened slightly and I looked at him. Something had set Edward off, too, because he had disappeared. I was about to ask but he was gone before I could and I couldn't read minds.
She was obviously embarrassed, she played with her hands when she spoke and made no eye contact, "Hi I'm Nikki Black and umm, well…ahh…welcome to Forks…" she stammered then closed her mouth, visibly shaken. She smiled weakly, Jasper looked at her then at me, he recognized her too. Rose threw a look at Emmett and then looked back to me. Who was this girl?
"Hi, I'm Alice," I introduced myself slowly; "This is Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett. It's nice to meet you," I nodded to each of them then looked back at Nikki; she smiled again then looked down at the floor.
"Uh, nice to meet you…bye," she said quietly then rushed back to her table shaking when she sat down. Her friends began to ask her questions and talk to her. I felt everyone stiffen. We knew her. I just didn't know how...
Edward's Point of View
It was like the first day of school all over again. Only more seventeen years later. Her strong pull, and her beautiful appearance, I had to cover myself with my reserve and get out of there. I've been around about one hundred years and this girl almost ruins it. Just like Bella. Even thinking about her burned my every thought. Bella.
I pulled myself back to class after lunch had ended. Once again more then seventeen years later Nikki was in my class and I was forced to sit next to her. She smiled when I sat down and went back to sketching slowly. I clenched my hand into a fist and strained to look away, not to breathe in her scent but—
"Welcome back everyone, sorry my vacation was a little long and my plane got back late, so today since I'm new and it's only the second day of school just we can just have a little Q and A or you can get to know your classmates…" the teacher said quietly, smiling. A few people commented and talked to the person next to them. I saw Nikki smile and push her black hair behind her ears. The person in back of her poked her and she talked to them for a moment then she stiffened. Her eyes flashed to me then back to who she was talking to. She shook her head and turned around and sat stiffly in her chair.
I heard the thoughts of the boy in back of her who had made her so uncomfortable, Ha. She won't even ask the guy. Not like she has anything to lose. She's poor and Marie felt bad for her. Sitting alone for all that time. She doesn't fit in. Just another out-cast. Maybe she belongs with the…what's their name? Ah! Cullens'. Maybe she belongs with the Cullens'! I gazed at her she looked back for a moment then turned back the doodle she was creating. Out-cast? She seemed to pick up on his thoughts and it was easy to see that she didn't like what he thought of her—how does she even know that?
She was the one that had spoken to Alice and the others at lunch the one that made me leave. Instead of thinking of many ways of how to get out of here I tried to strike up a little conversation, "Hi, I'm Edward," she looked up, expressionless and nodded, "So I've heard," she muttered and turned her attention back to the picture which was better then I had thought of it last time.
Apparently that conversation was over. So I tried to start again, "You are…?" I asked looking at her again her hand stopped for a moment then continued the sketch she was making, "Nikki," she answered quietly. That conversation ended too.
Nikki's Point of View
That new boy…Edward Cullen…kept trying to strike up a conversation with me. The girl that no one liked and felt bad for. And this amazingly gorgeous guy tries to talk to me. See anything wrong with that? I do. A ton of things. Finally after the bell rang I strode from the class only to hear another one of those Cullen's start to come down the hall with her family.
"I got it now! You know how we all thought we knew that Nikki Black girl?" She was saying, "I got it now! Black, wasn't Bella's old friend named Jacob Black?" she asked in a hushed voice. How do they know my father? I thought, I turned into the girl's bathroom and pressed my ear up against the wall to listen in again.
Edward came out the room and met his family his dark eyes locked on the short one, "Edward that's her! That's her! It's Jacob's daughter! Possibly Bella's—"
"I don't care," he snapped. I walked out of the bathroom and felt everyone freeze. I walked past them feeling all of them stiffen. Then I stopped and turned back, "Whoever you are I don't care. But I never want to here you talk about my family again." I hissed.
