Returning at a Different Time

From Twilight

I was already half way through my first day at Forks High school, I was surprised at how easy the day had been compared to all the horrors I had imagined during my sleepless time the night before.

I had imagined being completely lost and alone, being the centre of attention in absolutely every class and of course falling over a lot in front of everyone. It hadn't turned out that badly though.

I had a map to show me where my classes were, though I usually met someone in each class who was overly friendly and would offer to take me to my classes, I met Jessica Stanley who sat with me in both Trig and Spanish, she talked a lot, which meant I didn't have to.

I sat with Jessica and her friends in the cafeteria that day, and was introduced to all of her friends, I smiled and nodded a lot, and promptly forgot everybody's name as soon as she had moved on to the next person.

Jessica and her friends spoke mostly of people I didn't know, events I didn't know of and teachers I didn't really want to know, gossiping and bitching like typical teenagers, I looked away not paying attention, I couldn't really contribute and didn't really want to.

It was there, sitting in a crowded cafeteria that I first laid eyes on the figure that would haunt me for many months to follow. He was amazingly beautiful, sitting amongst others who could all easily pass for super models.

There were five of them, all staring off in different directions, not touching the plates of food they had sitting in front of them, not communicating, even between themselves, and the only ones in the crowded school who weren't paying attention to me.

I stared at them all, the tallest was built like a bear, with short brown hair and massive muscles, I decided he could probably crush a tree trunk with no trouble at all. Though there was something about him, though he looked dangerous and invincible there was something in his face that spoke of a sweet, gentle and almost child-like nature.

The blonde girl sitting across from him was stunning, her blonde hair perfectly straight and with a tall body and perfect figure that belonged on a runway. She stood up and walked with such grace, leaving the cafeteria and making every girl feel that little much better without her around.

The middle aged boy by the looks of him, had blonde hair as well, neatly styled so it fell naturally into his eyes, hiding them and giving him a look of mystery and intrigue, I couldn't decide what to think of him, and moved on to the next girl instead.

This one was the opposite of her friend, though she was beautiful and graceful her hair was short and pitch black, spiked up and styled, it suited her perfectly though wasn't something I could pull off. She was short as well, though still graceful, and looked full of energy.

The last boy of their group looked to be the youngest, with bronze coloured hair and a perfect face, he was amazing, his face held a story so complex that I was sure I could never understand though it was masked so completely with beauty.

I was amazed at myself, I had never been good at reading the people around me, and I couldn't understand these five at all, though there was something that made me know that they were not what they seemed to be, I saw something else that everyone else couldn't see, I just wasn't sure what it was yet.

I tapped Jessica on the shoulder, and she turned to look at me, I had no idea what conversation I had just interrupted, and I didn't really care, I finally dragged my eyes away from the bronze haired boy and met Jessica's confused look.

"Jess, who are they?" I asked, trying to keep the awe out of my voice when I asked the question, Jessica didn't even look to whom I meant, obviously she knew who it was who had attracted my attention.

"They're the Cullen's, the big one, that's Emmett, the blonde girl who left is Rosalie, the blonde boy there is her twin Jasper, the one with the short spiky hair is Alice, and the beautiful bronze haired boy is Edward."

I stared at them, all pretty old names, just as the youngest one, Edward looked up, he met my gaze and a strange look came over his face, as though something had confused him, my cheeks burned and I longed to drop my gaze though he held on to me as strongly as though he was touching me physically.

Finally his burning gaze dropped and he looked away as though he was completely uninterested, I dropped my gaze quickly as well and tuned back into what Jess was saying about the Cullen family.

"And Mrs Cullen has had Jasper and Rosalie with her since they were only eight years old, and Doctor Cullen adopted Emmett, Edward and Alice. Though when Doctor and Mrs Cullen married Rosalie and Jasper chose to keep their own last name of Hale."

That surprised me, I wondered if they perhaps didn't approve of Doctor Cullen, for them not to want to share his last name. Obviously the look on my face was confused because Jess leaned forward conspiratorially and whispered to me.

"They did it so that we wouldn't all gossip as much, you see they're all together, Alice and Jasper and Rosalie and Emmett, they're dating! Poor Edward doesn't have anyone though, but nobody here is good enough to fill that gap for him apparently."

I glanced at Edward again and noticed that he was smiling, he was standing with the rest of his family now, I was surprised until I looked around and noticed mostly everyone was standing up ready to go, lunch time was over and we were running late.

I blushed as I walked in late to Biology, looking at my shoes and mumbling an excuse of getting lost, saying that Angela a nice girl who had sat with us at lunch and politely reminded me of her name on the way to biology, had saved me from going the completely wrong way.

My Biology teacher just nodded and handed me a text book, pointing to the only available table in the class room, I sighed and kept my eyes on my feet until I reached the desk, dropping my books and sitting down, before looking over thinking to introduce myself to my new partner.

My eyes almost bugged out of my head as I came face to face with Edward Cullen, just as I opened my mouth to introduce myself the wind blew through the classroom throwing my hair in front of my face.

I was so embarrassed and I couldn't see, by the time I controlled my hair again and looked back towards him again, Edward's face had changed, he looked furious, he pulled his chair away from mine and angled it as far away as possible without turning his back to the teacher.

I was shocked, and more than just a little hurt, I didn't think I smelt bad or anything, and surely I hadn't done anything to insult him enough to get this kind of reaction. I moved my hair over my right shoulder as a curtain so I didn't have to see his face, and focussed instead on my work and taking notes.

The second the bell rang signalling the end of class Edward was gone, the furious look still in place as he rushed through the door at the front of the classroom. I hadn't even gathered my books and with a sigh I began to get my stuff ready for my least favourite class, gym.

"Hi, Isabella?" I looked up startled, I hadn't heard anyone come to stand beside me, yet there was a blonde boy smiling at me politely. I tried to smile back though I was still to confused with my encounter with Edward Cullen to be to polite.

"My name is Mike, would you like some help finding your next class?" I tried to explain that I was sure to be able to find the gym without assistance, but Mike was in gym next as well and he was overly enthusiastic about trying to help.

Mike was easy to talk to, laughing and joking the whole way, he didn't mind that I didn't talk much which was good, I wasn't really in the mood for his over happiness right now. I wasn't happy at all.

I was confused about my encounter with Edward, I was now going to make a fool out of myself in gym, and also I just couldn't find the will to be happy in a place that rained so much that it disturbed my sleep.

Yes I was acting like a child, but I didn't feel at home without the sun and it was difficult for me to function on little sleep. I sighed and tried to be more attentive after all Mike was just trying to be nice.

Finally gym was over for the day as well, Mike walked me out to my car, though I had to stop in at the office to hand in my slip, I walked in still preoccupied and stood in the line, there was only one person in front of me who was arguing over whether they could swap their biology class.

Another girl walked in behind me, and the wind whipped through my hair for the second time that day, yet again by the time I was able to see again, Edward Cullen was glaring at me with a fury I had never seen before in his eyes.

I was shocked that I hadn't recognised him before as he swung around made and excuse to the woman at the counter and rushed out of the small office. I was considering following him, and asking what his problem was, but I was too much of a coward and instead I chose to slowly hand my slip over and walk back outside.

Mike was, yet again waiting to finish walking me to my truck, and I gladly let him talk about teachers and assignments and people at the school without much of my input. I had just finished a big and stressful day, and I had many things to think about.

I looked around for Edward Cullen, annoyed that he was still on my mind, however I couldn't think of anything else. My heart thrummed with the excitement of seeing him again the next day, though also with fear at his furious glances.

As I finally reached my truck, I said goodbye to Mike, promising to meet him in the morning for a coffee before school. I thought as I drove back towards my own house that had I really been thinking, I never would have agreed to that plan. However it was too late to back out now.

As I arrived home, I began to cook dinner for myself and Charlie, and also rushed upstairs to check my emails, there was of course three worried emails from Renee, begging me to come home, and also to reply to her so she knew I was safe.

I wrote back to my mother quickly so she would relax and stop stressing herself out, though of course it probably wouldn't work, I told her about school, my friends, my teachers, everything, well almost everything, I left out the enigma which was Edward Cullen.

Then there was one final email, it was from a email address I didn't recognise, and was definitely unhelpful . How could I know who that was? The email contained only one small sentence, and it didn't help me to know who it was, if anything it was the cherry on the most confusing day of my life.

It's easier this way, I am sorry.

So that's the first chapter, I know it is confusing so far, but if you stick with it a lot more will be revealed in the next chapter which I am hoping to get up in the next day or so, so please review and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Dani.
