A/N :- This is my first fanfic so tell me what you think of it! Also before you start reading, you should know that I'm British so some of the words may not be spelled the way you write them. Just a warning. lol

BTW all the ages are the same, and it is the first day of their Junior year for Bella, Alice and Edward.

Emmett hasn't met the Cullens yet but he will be included later on in the fanfic ;)
Chapter 1

EPOV

The day started just like any other day. Jasper and Alice were, well, occupied. Rosalie was going through her wardrobe and admiring herself in the mirror. No surprise there. Carlisle was getting ready for work at the hospital and Esme was looking at a catalogue to find a new dining table to fit in with her theme of the month. Every month, Esme redecorates the whole house in the one style. This month the theme is white and is to draw attention to the openness of our house. For some reason the girls love redecorating and the only reason they don't redecorate every week, is because Carlisle, Jasper and I had an intervention with them. Now they use the money on charities on the condition that they are allowed to redecorate once a month and we're not allowed to complain about it. Women, I sighed.

I was in my room, listening to music. It was 8 o'clock and I knew I would have to start getting ready for school soon. I was feeling strangely optimistic today. Something was going to happen today, I could feel it. But what? I thought, frustrated. I didn't like not knowing what was going to happen any better than Alice. But luckily for Alice, she's a psychic.

I decided to try and find Alice's 'voice', maybe she had had a vision.

Ewwwwwwww. I quickly retreated from her thoughts, she was still occupied with Jasper. I think I might be eternally scared by what I just heard.

"Edward." Carlisle's thoughts called me. "Rosalie and I are going to hunt tonight. Do you want to join us?"

"I'll come," I said in a normal voice, I knew Carlisle would hear me.

I decided to get dressed and as soon as I had finished, went downstairs. I found Alice in a vision. She came out of it and I tried to see what her vision was about, but seeing me there, she started translating Joy to the World into Latin. She looked very excited though. I looked at her suspiciously as she put on her 'I'm innocent' face.

"Alice, why are you translating Joy to the World into Latin? What did you see?" I asked her sweetly.

"Oh nothing, dear brother. I think we should get going to school, we don't want to be late!" she said excited. Why was she so eager to get to school?

"Ok," I answered, even more suspicious and puzzled. Alice went running around the house, yelling that we had to get going. They all came down, grumpy and surprised that Alice was looking so happy. Jasper was trying, unsatisfactorily, to get Alice to tell him what she saw. We all climbed into my car, and I started the engine. Alice jumped in beside me, jumping up and down excitedly, and kept on switching the radio stations. After about 5 minutes of this, Rose snapped.

"For God's sake, stop it!! Just tell us, what's got you so excited!" she snapped at Alice.

"Sorry," was all she said. Rose sighed loudly and slumped back into her seat, muttering about a 'Stupid pixie vampire'.

The rest of the journey was uneventful, though Alice went back to her fiddling again. It took us half the time it would take any other person. We pulled into the school and we looked around expectedly however Alice just leapt out.

"Are you going to tell us what you saw now?" I asked her, trying to be patient.

"Oh brother, you'll find out soon!" she sang.

Classes started and ended. Every lesson becoming more boring than the next. Why on earth was Alice being so excited?

Everyone was buzzing about the new girl, Isabella Swan. Humans are so easily excited. They were obsessed with her, every single person I came across were thinking about her. When were they going to see her? Was she hot? were the thoughts of the teenage boys, already imagining Isabella as their girlfriend. Whereas the girls were too busy worrying about their boyfriends dumping them for her. I was sick of their jealous rages and imagined that I was at home, composing a new piece on the piano.

I met my brother and sisters in the cafeteria, Alice was looking even more excited, if that was even possible. Her vision must be happening soon. We got 'lunch' and sat down. Rosalie was visibly annoyed at something, but that was only because she was very angry that Alice wouldn't tell her what was making her so excited. Jasper was still trying to figure what Alice saw. I slumped down in my seat closing my eyes for a second. A face appeared in my mind, it was her. I sat up and opened my eyes, the rest of the Cullens looking at me surprised.

Everyone around us was very excited, you didn't need to be Jasper to figure that out. Apparently this Isabella girl would be arriving into the cafeteria momentarily.

Her. When Carlisle changed me, I had dreams during those dreadful three days. Dreams of what would have been, dreams of my future that I was never to have. One of them, was the face of my soul mate, the girl I would have found, my wife. She was beautiful, pale; a brunette with brown doe eyes. I have never told anyone about her, not even Carlisle or Esme. I let them think that I don't have a mate because I was changed so young. But the truth is, I'm in love with a girl who I've never met, a girl that probably died decades ago. How sad is that?

"Edward, what's wrong?" Jasper hissed at me. He could feel my feelings of sadness, of grief for someone that may not even have existed.

"Nothing," I said sharply, staring down at the repulsive human food.

"Look, it's her. Isabella Swan!" I heard someone hiss at her neighbour.

I looked up, mildly interested in the girl who had the whole school in a uproar. I froze, gob smacked.

It was her. My eyes devoured her figure, she was more even more beautiful in person. My dreams had not done justice to her. She was wearing a dark blue V-shaped top and jeans. She looked amazing in it, making it look effortless to reach that level of perfection. I caught her gaze but I continued to stare at her. She stared at me with her lovely brown eyes, as if she had saw me before and blushed. She was so beautiful when she blushed. It was like she was the only person in the room, though there was lots of people here, including my family.

Without realizing, I was walking towards her. I heard Rosalie hiss "What the hell are you doing?" but it sounded as if she was far far away. Then I was right beside her, looking down at her. She looked back up at me and I leant down and kissed her.

For a second, Isabella just stood there and then slowly she put her arms around my neck and kissed me back. It was a soft tender kiss and I was careful not to hurt her as we kissed. The passion between us was undeniable and I yearned to be able to kiss her with everything I had and not to have to worry about hurting her. In that instant, I knew she was my soul mate, my life. I loved her, though I had only met her. I could feel her heart beating so fast that it was hard to determine one beat from another.

Distantly, I heard the stunned remarks of the people around us. Finally, I broke the kiss to let her breathe.

"It's you," she said, breathing heavily.

"Yes," I breathed back. I didn't know that she recognized me, I wondered how. I realized that I couldn't read her mind, that her blood smelt better than any other blood I had ever tasted. That she was human and I was vampire. But it didn't matter, we were together now and I was never going to let her go.

I turned around to face my family, Alice was grinning and giggling, that must have been what her vision was about, Jasper was shocked, his face was priceless, and Rosalie was looking furious. But I didn't care. I turned back to Isabella and extended my hand to her.

"Edward Cullen," I introduced myself. She shook my hand, smirking. I smiled at her.

"Bella Swan. Quite a welcome," she smirked at me.

"Yes, but you don't know how long I've waited for you," I smiled at her. She blushed again. "Would you like to sit with me and my family?"

"Ok," was all she said. I took her tray off her and lead her towards my table, grinning like a fool.

"Everyone this is Bella. Bella, this is Jasper, Rosalie and Alice," I gestured at them in turn. Jasper and Alice smiled at her, but Rose glared at her. I growled, warning her to behave.

"What the hell are you doing, are you mad!!" she thought. I scowled at her and pulled out a chair for Bella to sit down.

"I'm so happy for you! She is such a nice girl as well! I wonder if she likes shopping…"Alice was thinking, beaming.

"How can you stand the blood lust, Edward? It's unbearable!" thought Jasper. I looked apologetically at him, he was suffering but I didn't think that Bella was in any immediate danger.

"So, Bella, do you like shopping?" burst out Alice. I gave her a disapproving look, Bella had barely sat down and she was interrogating her.

"It's a simple VERY IMPORTANT question, Edward," Alice thought.

"Umm…it's ok?" Bella answered, but her answer sounded more like a question. She looked at me, unsure.

I smiled encouragingly at her beautiful face, and leaned forwards and whispered to her, "Don't worry, Alice likes you. She's just a crazy girl with a shopping obsession." I knew that every vampire at the table could hear me and Alice stuck out her tongue at me.

Bella smiled at me and I was captivated by it. I would make sure Bella was always smiling, always happy for the rest of my existence. That was my prime goal.

Alice continued to question her, but all the questions were fashion-related. Bella didn't seem to know what Alice was talking about half the time and it was obvious that she guessed some of the questions.

I tried to change the subject around, by asking her why she had moved to Forks, after she mentioned how she hated the cold and wet. Forks is the capital for bad weather, so why did she decide to move here willingly? Her answer puzzled me.

Bella's face immediately closed off. All emotions drained from her face. I tried again to find her mind. It was like she wasn't there. Emptiness where her thoughts were supposed to be. I really wished I knew what she was thinking.

"You know, this and that," Bella managed to say, her voice emotionless. Jasper noticing not only Bella's face and reply but her change in emotions. I concentrated in his mind to find that Bella was feeling a big range of different emotions. She was feeling very sad, sadder than I ever thought possible for any human to feel. Human's feelings were usually very shallow, compared to a vampire's emotions. Vampires seemed to feel more, to hurt more. Her emotions hit me and Jasper hard. It was so powerful that Jasper lost control of his power and suddenly everyone in the canteen was feeling almost suicidal. One girl even ran out crying.

Alice also noticing Bella's reaction to Jasper's question and the feeling of 'I want to die' going around everyone. She quickly changed the subject to their get together that Alice had organised on the spot 5 minutes ago for this weekend. I was happy that Alice liked Bella so much after only just meeting her. Alice was very important to me; we understood each other and I was closer to her than any of my other siblings. "We're going to have so much fun this weekend. First we'll hit that mall… then we'll go see a film. And you have to sleepover. Yeah, a girly sleepover! It's gonna be sooooo much fun!! Oh I cant wait! I can give you a makeover!!" Alice chirped.

Bella seemed relieved of the change of subject but at the same time terrified when she heard Alice say 'makeover', but I wasn't satisfied. Why did she react like that to such a innocent question? What had happened to her that she would feel like that? Did someone hurt her in some way? Rage took over my system at the thought of someone hurting this beautiful girl. The girl I loved. Jasper looked at me quizzically. I shook my head fractionally.

Bella was regaining her composure and the school didn't feel depressed or miserable anymore. I was aching to ask her why she had reacted that way but I knew that this wasn't the time. And anyways we'd only just met, she would open up when she was ready. I just had to be patient… Easier said than done though.

By the end of lunch Bella and Alice were quickly becoming the best of friends while Rosalie scowled at Bella and thought angry thoughts about her. Bella pretended to be ok about Rosalie's obvious distaste of her and pretended not to notice that she was ignoring her but I know that she was hurt. I hated Rosalie then, how could she be so cruel, so callous to the gorgeous Bella. My angel.

But she wasn't mine. I couldn't believe that I had put Bella in so much danger by going up to her. I should have ignored her, pretended not to care about her. And I shouldn't have kissed her. It was too late now to take back the kiss but it was too dangerous to stay with her. Even though it would have been easier to wish that I had never kissed her, I didn't regret it. The feelings she made me feel were so extraordinary, and I wished more than I ever had that I was human. I would be willing to hurt myself in order to keep Bella safe. I would have to show Bella that by kissing her, I didn't mean anything by it. I would have to stay away from her, even if it nearly killed me. Hah, how ironic - nearly killed me, but it was how I felt.

I will go to Denali, straight after school. I will tell Alice and everyone to not go near Bella and she will go on with her life and forget all about the strange boy at school who kissed her on her first day at school.

Alice had a vision while I was thinking this, and kicked me. I looked at her questionably.

"What the hell, Edward? Don't you dare leave. Why are you being so difficult? You love her, Edward - she's your soul mate. And she loves you too, you can see it in her eyes when she looks at you. You won't be doing her any favours by leaving her, " she thought angrily.

She loved me? How could she, we'd only just met! It was different for me, I had been waiting for her for decades. I had dreamed about her, thought about her, wished that she were near me. She was the reason I returned to Carlisle during my rebellion years.

After a few months of feeding on human monsters, murderers, I came upon a man following a girl of 17 years old home. It was dark and she shouldn't have been out with no chaperone and all alone. In those days it was scandalous, but the girl was desperate. The man was a drunk, a rapist who preyed on young women and then killed them afterwards. He was evil. I stopped the man and feed from him, and in my hunting state of mind, decided to kill the girl too. She was terrified. I cornered her. She looked into my eyes, in what she thought, and I thought at the time, would be the last thing she would see. She had brown eyes like Bella. In that moment, the girl's face changed to Bella's. I was repulsed by what I had nearly done and I had ran from her. Though at the time I didn't know it was Bella's face, just the girl I loved.

From then on, every time I was tempted to feed, I pictured Bella's face. I was a monster love in with an angel. I couldn't stand killing any person, no matter how evil they were, just because they were the same species of my beloved.

"Earth to Edward. Are you ok?" asked Bella softly, waving a hand in front of my line of vision.

"I am sorry. I was… distracted by my thoughts. Please forgive me," I apologised. I looked around and realised that the canteen was nearly empty and Rosalie had disappeared, as well as Jasper. Alice was looking at me, curiously but still showing a hint of her anger at me thinking of leaving. However she was mostly relieved that I had decided to stay, for now. I needed to be alone, away from Bella's beguiling eyes and her soft luscious lips. I can't think properly when I'm with her, all rational thought just disappears, shadowed by emotions, human feelings.

"The bell just went. We have to get to class. What do you have now?" she questioned, her tone still soft.

It turned out that we had the same class and talked about what kind of music we liked on our way to Biology. Alice had left us to go to her own class. While I had 'zonked out', Alice had told Bella that I was a pianist and liked all kinds of music. We found out that we had very similar taste.

"Hey Bella! Come sit with us!" called a baby-faced boy when we got in. I couldn't remember what his name was, something like Nick. I didn't bother with boys who had over-inflated egos. I growled softly when I heard his thoughts.

"Sure, I'll be there in a second, Mick!" Bella called back. My stomach plummeted, did she like Mick? Was she just being nice to me and was hoping the whole lunch that Mick saved her? I glowered at Mick.

But shouldn't I be pleased that she didn't return my affection? It would be worse when I had to ignore her, knowing that she liked me. I wished for the umpteenth time that afternoon that I could read her mind. What was she thinking?

"Why don't you come sit with us?" Bella was looking at me. I realised that she had been talking to me and I was too busy being furious at her friend to pay attention. "I know Mick can be a pain, and I've only met him today! But Angela is nice and I will miss you…" she trailed off, blushing again.

I grinned when she said that she would miss me, maybe she could love me back. Maybe the impossible would happen and my angel could love a monster like me. Maybe Alice was right, I knew she was my soul mate, could I be hers?

Even though I had always thought of Mick and his friends were shallow and self-involved, if Bella liked them I would try harder to be friendly to them, for her. "Let's go!" I said as I took her hand and walked towards Mick, Angela and that girl that Bella was with at the start of lunch, Jessica. I noticed that Mick and the other guys' smiles falter when they saw me coming with Bella. They were jealous, I realised. Well, who wouldn't be?

"Hello guys. Is it ok if Edward joins us?"

So what do you think? Guess why Bella moved school?

Let me explain the whole Edward loving Bella before they met thing cause it is confusing. When Edward was getting changed he had like visions only they weren't what would happen to him. it was what would have happened if he hadn't got changed into a vampire and lived - or so he thought. He believes that his soulmate, Bella, lived her life as a human in the time of his human life. And everytime he feels depressed or thinks he doesn't have a reason to live he thinks of Bella. Likewise. when Bella needed comfort she started to dream of a certain beautiful bronzehaired boy with a crooked smile that we should all know before she even moved to Forks lol. (And 4 stupid people I am obviously talking about Edward. duh). Later on in the fanfic, you'll find out when and why she needed comfort and why she moved etc. There is a big twist in the later chapters (well, I think it is) and I don't think anyone will guess what happens. lol

The next few chapters will all be in Edward's POV. I might do Bella's POV of her 1st day in a flashback...

Luv,
Smile!EdwardLuvsYhoo :)
