I am really looking forward to writing this after a few months break from writing fanfics. Hope you like reading it as much as I like writing it. (:
I am not Stephanie Meyer, nor will I ever be. I just play around with the awesome characters she has created. (;

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more.
Careful – Paramore.
Chapter One.
"And so, I was so totally like, you did not just say that!" Jessica babbled on to me on our way to the lunch room. The good thing about Jess was that you could tune out from her without her noticing unless you added an 'mmm' or a 'yeah' here and there.
I pushed the lunch room door open without much strength, everything was easier to me then it was to everyone else. That wasn't a surprise; I was a vampire after all.
I looked around quickly at the table my family sat up, and instantly smiled when I saw him sitting there already, smiling back at me like a child receiving a Christmas present.
"Anyways, I'll talk to you tomorrow Bella." Jessica sighed, waved a goodbye to me before turning and walking towards her group of friends. The reason she sighed was because she must have seen Edward smiling at me, and I knew she wished it was her.
Edward and his family were not as new in town, but they didn't associate with anyone. Except me, because I was now apart of them.
Edward had been my best friend for over 100 years now, and even though we were separate for 90 of them, we still managed to find each other again. We had decided to become more then friends about 3 months ago.
"Hello Bella." Edward said as I sat down next to him, dragging my chair so I would be closer to him. He kissed me on the cheek softly. I smiled shyly to myself as I do when I was embarrassed.
"Hey Edward." I said, kissing him back on the lips. It was a short kiss, because Alice made a small coughing sound next to me. I pulled away quickly, embarrassed again.
"Hey Bells, do you want to go shopping tonight? There's a new store opening in Port Angeles." Alice asked me, her excitement making her jumpy.
I cringed.
"Shopping." I said. Her face fell and pleaded with me.
"Oh please, Bella! We never go shopping! We haven't been since…"
"Last week." I cut her off. Edward chuckled beside me.
"So? You can never shop too much!" She objected.
I shook my head. "Ask Rosalie, she will go with you." I said, tying my hair up so it wasn't around my face like it had been in the morning. It had strangely gotten hotter, not like Forks at all.
Alice groaned in defeat, and left the subject at that.
"So you guys hear? There's a new student at the school. I don't know about you, but I smell vampire. And not a vegetarian either." Jasper said, wrapping his hand in Alice's.
That made me stops thinking. The familiar red eyes of those who drink human blood filled my mind, making me think of when I had to drink it just 3 months earlier.
The thought made my mouth water and my throat burn. It didn't help that there was so many humans around.
"Probably someone just passing by. I'm sure they're just trying to get some of the students here. Should we step in?" Edward said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"I don't know. Depends if it gets out of hand. Carlisle will know what to do." Jasper said, getting up to put his and Alice's uneaten lunch into the bin.
When he got to the bin he paused. He half turned towards the door that exited the cafeteria, and stood there for a few moments before casually tipping the trays into the bin.
When he walked back, his face was troubled.
"Everything okay, Jas?" Alice asked, a little worried. Jasper looked at her, confused aswell. He then turned to Edward and me.
"Do you smell that? It definitely vampire. But it's… familiar." He said, taking his seat.
Edward looked a little confused aswell; obviously Jasper's thoughts were everywhere.
"Jasper, don't worry about. It's probably just a normal vampire you smell. We have been near some in the past couple of months; maybe that's why it's familiar." I said, trying to make him feel better. I didn't smell the air, the scent of human would be very strong, and after my recent thoughts, I couldn't afford to risk it.
"Hey that reminds me, I'm writing about that for my English assignment." Alice announced suddenly. Laughter from a nearby table broke out because someone spilt their milk on someone else, but we ignored it.
Instead, we stared at Alice in stunned silence. Did she want to expose us all?
"Calm down, I'm not going to do it exactly like what happened. We will have completely different names, like Bella, you will be Lucy, and Edward, you will be Tomas. And the Volturi's names will be different names, while they live in 'Switzerland'." She added the speech marks with her fingers as well.
I shook my head. "Alice, its way to dangerous."
"How is it? Mr. Hans will probably think I'm crazy, but he will have to give me an A for creativity. Plus, the wolves won't be involved. The vampires will be allergic to garlic and holy water." she rolled her eyes at the stereotype. "Don't worry about it."
Jasper and I looked at each other as we considered it. She was right; Mr. Hans will think she's crazy. But he doesn't know the stories true.
Edward looked at Alice carefully. "When's it due?" He asked, but he already new the answer. Alice flinched.
"Well, uh, it was sort of due last week." She said, bowing her head a bit. Jasper and I gaped at her, while Edward sat there just looking at her.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" I asked Alice.
"Because she knew we wouldn't be that happy about it." Edward said, answering her question.
I turned to gape at him.
"You knew?" I asked him in astonishment. He looked at me with apologetic eyes.
"She did try to keep it from me, but even the physic can slip with her thoughts." He said turning to Alice.
"Don't you worry, he went off at me. The strange thing was, I couldn't see if he was going to give me an A or not. The wolves must be visiting today. Come to think of it, I can smell them now. Icky." Alice said, scrunching up her nose.
Even without smelling the air, I knew she was right. Jasper and Edward both scrunched up there noses to, Jasper deciding to not breath altogether.
"Maybe it's Jacob." I said with excitement. Jacob was one of my best friends before he found out I was a vampire. I used to always go and see him in those times, but then he turned into a werewolf and the treaty states that I am not allowed on Quilete land. But Jacob still liked me, and he comes down and see's me sometimes. Mainly at school, where he can also keep an eye on the 'other bloodsuckers'. What ever that meant.
Edward rolled his eyes, and I pretended not to see. At that moment the bell rang, and people started cutting off there unfinished conversations and heading to there next class.
"I get my result for the assignment this lesson. Would you's like to come, celebrate my possible A with me?" Alice said a small smile on her face. She knew the worst was over for what she had done.
We all agreed. Truth was we all wanted to see just what she wrote. It would be pretty funny all mixed around; I guess I could see the humor Alice was trying to prove.
We walked to her class as she tried telling us everything she has wrote when I saw Jacob wondering the hallways, a confused and very worried look on his face.
The smell hit me like a tonne of bricks, but I ignored it. I could see he was starting to smell us aswell, everywhere. Maybe that was the reason he was so troubled.
"Jacob!" I yelled excitedly, interrupting Alice's story. His head spun around to look at us. He seemed a little relieved, but he was still troubled. He ran to us, a little faster then what seemed necessary.
"Bella!" He said loudly as he reached me. We were just outside Alice's classroom now.
"Hey Jacob, how are you?" I said happily, hugging him. It was a quick hug, he was puffed from running.
"Bella, I need to tell you something. It's urgent." He said quickly, grabbing my hand and trying to pull me away.
"Jacob, what's wrong? Just tell me here." I said, pulling my hand back. What was wrong with him?
"I can't, you know why." He said, trying to grab my hand again. I looked at Edward who was staring at Jacob with an angry sort of look, and then his face fell into a shock of surprise. He was stood frozen.
"Excuse me sir, but you need to leave." Alice's English teacher, whose name I forgot, was now outside.
"I'll leave, but I need to talk to her first. She needs to know something." Jacob said impatiently, his eyes burned into mine. Edward was still frozen in shock a few meters from where I was standing. I was getting a little nervous.
"No, you need to leave now. I'm sick of you kids and bringing your relationship issues into the classroom. Leave or I will get the principal." The teacher growled, demanding Jacob left.
Jacob bit his lip, and turned back to me. He didn't say anything.
The teacher started to push him down the hallway, and he didn't object; even though we all knew Jacob could just push the teacher away.
"Bella, she's back!" Jacob yelled before he was out of sight, with the teacher pushing him down the hallway, towards the exit door.
I stared after Jacob confused. Who was 'she', and why would he not need to speak her name?
"She's back." Edward stuttered, looking towards Alice, who was also frozen. Now that Jacob was gone, she could see clearly.
"Bella its Jane, she's back! We have to go!" Edward said suddenly. Realization hit me hard. The new student. The familiar smell. The only one Jacob would call 'she' would be her. He didn't think she deserved a name.
Jane.
My mouth fell open as I there stood frozen. Edward grabbed my hand and pulled, but I didn't move. The memory of her deep crimson eyes, staring deeply into mine, the evilest smile I had ever seen plastered across her face filled my mind. She wasn't back. She couldn't be.
"Who said my name?" A voice said behind me, and Edward's eyes widened. Alice's eyes where distant, and her face was in pain.
I turned around slowly to see Jane standing there, her smile growing. The look on her face was no different then it ever was; pure evil.
If you speak of the devil, then the devil shall appear.
