A/N: Chapter 1
Prom. So far the worse day of my boring life. My name is Bella Swan and I'm about to tell you about the day we–my friends and I–went to prom. Here goes nothing.
I'm a senior in high school and I actually decided–which means my friends convinced me–to go to prom. Prom was being held this year in Port Angeles in a huge hotel. The only well known and very well taken care of hotel around the area, I live in Forks a couple hours from here. Forks is a very small town in Washington that hardly ever sees rain.
When you step into the Hotel/Motel–whatever it is–the first thing you see is the huge lobby and the registration desk on your right. You check in and get your keys if your 'staying over night'–as in you're staying with your date and having sex with them. Of course my friends were going to stay because they have dates.
I'm the only stupid idiot here looking for a date. Although I really only had one person in mind and he had already came with a date. If you were wondering who my friends were I was about to get to that. It used to just be Alice, Rosalie and me but then they got boyfriends–Jasper (with Alice) and Emmett (with Rosalie)–so now we're a little group.
And I'm the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend. I used to be going out with Mike Newton but it didn't quite work out. So now we're 'just friends'–as in he says we should just be friends and never speaks to me again–and is now going out with Jessica.
Okay so now back to the prom. I was the only one there without a date. And the guy I have been crushing on since second grade came with no other than Lauren. Lauren hates my guts for some reason and I just can't figure out why. I guess it was alright to come with her since there going out and all.
All this time I've liked him and he's never even noticed me. He's probably heard awful things about me from his girlfriend Lauren but that's it. He's never looked at me or talked to me. I've tried really hard to get over him and move on but I just can't. Truth is I'm head over heels for him.
He's extremely handsome with bronze messy hair and topaz colored eyes–the weirdest color I've seen for eyes yet! He's completely perfect. He has perfect hair, teeth, basically a perfect face and body. He plays on the baseball team and he's extremely nice. Well he's never been nice to me but I've watched him be nice to the freshman which is a big deal.
So you can imagine how disappointed I am right now. I just watched him come in with Lauren and I swear I heard my heart fall into my stomach. And what is the name of this man I've been in love with since grade school; his name is Edward Cullen.
I was obviously dressed differently then when I go to school. At school I wear a pair of jeans and any non–dorky shirt. But today I'm wearing a long maroon dress; the top was a corset and had beads on it. The rest was silk and flowed all the way down to the floor.
I was feeling a bit nauseous after I watched Lauren slip her tongue down Edward's throat for like ten minutes so I briskly walked away from the huge auditorium and turned to my left and found the huge bathrooms that were far separated but right next to the auditorium.
I walked into the girl's bathroom and poured water on my face. I didn't have to worry about make–up because I never wear any. As I breathed through my mouth slowly a group of people came in. I quickly patted my face dry with the hand towel and turned to see that it wasn't just girls in here with me but boys too.
I automatically recognized the lead boy that was talking in whispers to the small crowd. It was James Mann. He's the quarterback of the football team and he's obviously a jock. Not to mention a jerk. And as I watched what they were doing I also found out he was a perverted asshole. He walked into a stall and stood on the toilet.
James was well known for his reputation. He has short dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes. You'd think he was absolutely perfect and gorgeous but he's not. And what he was doing now proved that. He was standing on the toilet and leaning over to the other stall to watch a poor helpless girl probably peeing or something.
He made a nasty noise that came out like a moaned 'OoO' and the girl shrieked. The small crowd slammed the door open and laughed at the poor girl. Feeling totally pissed off and brave I walked behind the small crowd and stop my ground, "Hey!"
They all jumped and turned to look at me. They probably thought I was a teacher or something. As soon as they saw who I was they laughed. I was too pissed off to blush and walk away. I had enough of there bullshit. I was surprised to see Lauren in the crowd.
Completely pissed off I walked passed them and into the stall. Some of them tried to touch me or push me so automatically I yelled, "Get the fuck away from me or else!" my voice sounded colder than usual. The hands that were on me were off of me in seconds.
I walked turned to look at the girl in the stall. She was crying but at least she was completely dressed now. She looked up at me and I recognized her as my ex-best friend Angela. She got jealous of Alice and Rosalie when I started hanging out with them in fifth grade and stopped being my friend. I still cared about her though. We had grown up together. Her parents and my parents are best friends.
I walked up to her, "Are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded through her tears. I looked up at James furiously, "Get the fuck out of the girl's bathroom now before I go get security," again my voice was as cold as ice.
He smirked at me before he jumped off the toilet and started walking away, "Come on guys. There's nothing interesting in here anymore," he yelled before they all laughed and walked out of the bathroom.
I grabbed some toilet paper and handed it to Ang, "Here you go."
She took it from me lightly and blew her nose as she walked out of the stall, "Thanks Bella. That was definitely humiliating. They didn't have cameras did they?"
I shook my head, "No," I noticed that she was shaking, "Are you sure your okay? Is there someone you want me to take you to?"
She grabbed a Kleenex from the counter of the sinks and nodded, "Can you take me to Ben? He's waiting for me in the auditorium," she was still crying but I did understand what she was saying but I doubt her date will.
I put one arm around her shoulders and another under her elbow, "Come one lets find Ben." Luckily I knew who Ben was. I could here the music all the way in the bathrooms that's how loud it was. I helped her support her weight and slowly walked her towards the auditorium.
"Hey, have you seen Lauren?" I looked up to see Edward at the entrance of the auditorium looking straight at me.
To my complete surprise I wasn't nervous but more pissed off by his girlfriend, "Yeah, her and her buddies just walked out of the girls room," again my voice was cold.
"Buddies as in…" he prompted.
"As in James and his gang of friends," Ang started crying again when I said James name. "Are you okay?" I asked her.
She shook her head and wiped at her eyes, "N-no. I hate him."
"What happened?" Edward asked a bit pissed off himself.
"Seems like your girlfriend and her 'friends' wanted a little peep show," Ang looked up at me panicked, "There going to tell everyone anyways," I told her softly.
"They walked in while–," I stopped him.
"Yes. I guess they thought that would be fun. Now can you excuse me I need to find her date," Her weight was getting heavier. I met his eyes before I walked away and helped Ang find Ben. I had to explain to Ben what happened and I had to stop him from doing something stupid. I sighed as I watched Ang and Ben head up to there room.
After I watched Ang and Ben get in the elevators I turned around to head back to the auditorium. I looked up and gasped in surprise as I saw who was in front of me.
