Hello to all my readers! I know that I have not finished my other two stories, but as you know they have been stolen. So I'm writing this one while I come up with a different plot to My Lifesong and an even BETTER ending to Love Hurts.
For those who have not read my other stories, well I hope you will enjoy my writing and maybe you could check out my other stories as well.
Thanks a million!

Chapter 1: The school, the drama and the player.
Michelle POV
I stood at the gate. My feet refused to move. I will admit that I have never been more nervous, I mean when I moved to another country I usually moved to where I had family. But not this time, it was time for a change. Damn it girl! Just do it! Lift that damned foot and step forward! I took a deep breath and stepped into Forks High School. I really do not know why I moved here out of all place, this tiny dreary town. Maybe it was beautiful scenery of green and grey or the constant fresh smell of rain. Either way, whatever my motive, here I am.
My name is Michelle Tsai. I am a 17 year young Asian girl. I was born in South Africa and lived there for 15 years of my sad little life; the last two years were spent in Taiwan to get my grades up. My hair is black-brown and flows to the middle of my back. I have dark brown eyes that seem to change color depending on my mood. Freak much? I had dark tan skin, but I lost it in my two years as captive in Taiwan, I am as pale as a ghost. I am short for my age, only 5"5, but as people say do not judge a book by its cover. I can kick major arse.
I tugged on the ribbon of my corset nervously as I walked slowly into a small office. It was fairly warm and at the front desk a young red head had her nose buried in a magazine. "Excuse me?" She looked up and I recognized her. "Oh! Hello Miss Morgan! I did not know you worked here." Miss Rachel Morgan is my host for the next two years of studying. She volunteered to have me which I am grateful for. You see, my parents and younger brother are still in South Africa, their business is important to them so I told them I will manage on my own. They trusted me enough to let me go.
Miss Morgan laughed. "Oh no, I'm just filling in for a friend. Mrs. Cope? She should be back by Wednesday." She smiled at me and I blushed. Stupid human traits. "I presume you are here for your schedule?"
I nodded still blushing. "I know you told me to get it last week, but I could not bring myself to come here, I was too nervous."
"That's ok Michelle. At least you're here," she handed me a few papers. "This is your schedule and here's a map. Since I know you are hopeless at maps you can always ask the other students. And finally this has to be signed by all your teachers and handed back to me by the end of the day. If I'm not here you can just dump it by the computer."
I nodded and took the papers. "I will see you at home, Miss Morgan!"
"It's Rachel! Miss Morgan is my mother!" I laughed at her comment and went to find my homeroom. The corridors were pretty empty since it was still early. Finally at the very end of the passage I found my homeroom. Looks creepy...I pushed open the door and immediately wish I did not. It was a biology room and on the tables were two students. A boy with bronze-brown hair and a girl with dyed blonde were making out.
"Shit! I am so sorry!" I slammed the door shut immediately and hid behind the wall next to the door. Oh my Lestat! That was so…so…disturbing! EW! This is a school! Not a motel! I shuddered as the image shot back into my head. God I am scarred for life. Seconds later the girl appeared and glared at me, then stalked off down the hallway, the boy appeared behind her and smirked at my curled up figure on the floor. Jerk. I got up and went into the class careful not to touch the table that they were busy on.
"It isn't contaminated you know?" said the bronze haired guy still smirking.
God what I would not do to wipe that smirk off of his face! I ignored him and sat the very back of the class. He sat at the desk in front of mine and stared at me. Geez…I know I look funny but staring is rude! I hid my face in my hair as the bell rang and people started to fill the class. The teacher walked in last and started droning on about something like our biology class was to be our homeroom class this year or something. Then he stopped and looked straight at me. Crap on toast!
"Excuse me Miss. I presume you are the new student?"
I sighed and lifted me head. Some people gasped, though I am not sure why. Whatever. "Yes sir."
"Alright, up front please and introduce yourself. I was wondering where you were hiding," he smiled. Ok so he is not too bad. At least he smiles. "I am Mr. Banner. You are Michelle right?"
I nodded and turned to face the class. They all stared. Take a picture! It will last longer! Some girls glared, some smirked but most just looked away uninterested. The boys on the other hand…yeah…need I go on? "Um…hi. I am Michelle. Uh…" Shit! "I am from Taiwan though I was born in South Africa and lived there for fifteen years of my life and well now I am here." I shrugged and looked at the teacher with pleading eyes that were clearly screaming 'I want to leave!'
He chuckled. "Alright Michelle. I assign seats, so can you please sit between Cullen and Newton" Two hands shot up. A cute blonde boy and the bronze haired guy. "Ok class…" once again he started droning on about something I really could care less about, slowly I made my way to the seat. The blonde girl from this morning tried to trip me, but stuck her ankle out too early. Stupid Poser. And with that my combat boot came crashing down on her exposed ankle and she gave a loud yelp.
"What is it Lauren?" My Banner looked at Lauren with a bored look. It seems that this Lauren causes a lot of trouble.
"Mitchell here stood on my foot!" she screeched
"Uh huh? And what may I ask, Lauren, is your foot doing so far from under your table that Michelle could actually reach it?" he asked with his brows raised. Lauren started stuttering.
I bit my lips to keep from giggling but I huge grin plastered my face. Thank god my hair was covering it up. I turned to Mr. Banner and gave a small smile. "I am sorry, sir. It was an accident. I am sure Lauren did not mean to." I turned to Lauren. "Sorry for standing on your ankle." People were staring me in surprise, Mr. Banner look somewhat…proud? I do not know. I walked to my assigned seat and sat down. The blonde turned and started talking to me.
"Hi. I'm Mike." Um… I smiled to be polite and nodded to let him know I heard him then turned back to face Mr. Banner. "And you're Michelle?"
No fool! I am Hitler with plastic surgery! "It would seem so," I replied still not looking at him. His eyes bore into my cheek. Dude! Stop staring! This is not a zoo!
"How do you find Forks High school so far?"
"I really do not know yet. I have only been here for about an hour."
"Right. Do you need someone to show you around?" His eyes shone and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.
"No thank you. I will manage." I snuck a glance at Mike. The poor boy looked so rejected. I almost felt sorry for him…almost.
Something thin slipped into my hand and I noticed a note. It said in perfect script:
Michelle
Is Newton bothering you? I would gladly sort him out for you and maybe later we could get to know each other?
Edward Cullen.
What the Hell?! I looked at the boy next to me and he grinned like a Cheshire cat. Was he not the one making out with that Lauren girl? My 'player-alert' sense started screaming at me. Alright, alright! I know! I scribbled back to him:
Cullen
He is not bothering me anymore than you are. If you want to beat him up, beat yourself up first. As for the second part…not a chance.
I slipped the note back to him. Edward is the exactly type of guy I try to avoid. Player… The note was slid back:
Alright then. And why not? I know you want to…don't try and hide it, love.
I took a deep breath and fought against the urge to hit him. Calm down girl. He is not worth it.
Do not…I repeat do not EVER call me 'love'. I do not date, so therefore have no reason to want to 'get to know you'. Leave me alone.
I heard him chuckle and he wrote his reply, he deliberately brushed my hand as he passed the note back. My hand shot into my lap and I rubbed the area where he touched me.
Oh, my dear. You are just making the chase a lot more fun. About you not dating…well we'll just have to change that now. Don't we?
I started seeing red after I read this.
Well that chase is you are going to get! Jerk!
I threw the note back at him and glared straight a head. He had a rather sharp intake of breath when he read my reply and didn't write back. Like Mike, he started staring at me. My cheeks burned. I have never loved my hair more! When the bell rang I was up and at Mr. Banner's desk in record time.
"Sir," he looked up and smiled. "Could you please assign me to another seat? I cannot concentrate there because those two boys would not leave me alone."
He was silent for a moment then sighed. "Very well, but it will have to wait until next semester. There will be another new student. I will move the two of you together."
He gave a gesture that meant that it was the end of the conversation. NEXT FUCKING SEMESTER! I am not sitting next to the school player for one whole fucking semester! I stomped out the class and a cold hand grabbed my arm. I looked up to see Edward. I glared at him and he smirked. He leaned down to my ear and whispered, "You can't get away from me, my little Lolita. I will make you want me. Now walk with me." His words sent shivers down my spine and soon I was being dragged. I tried to pull my wrist free but he had an iron grip.
"Let me go Cullen! Leave me alone!" he dragged me to my next class as I screamed profanities, then he smirked and left. "Asshole!" I muttered and went into class. The teacher, Ms. Peters, made me introduce myself before she signed my slip. Class ended way too quickly and as I got up to leave guess who took my books? That is right! Edward Freaking Cullen!
"Dude! Seriously, why will you not leave me alone! I want nothing to do with you!" I growled.
He shrugged. "You might as well come with me anyway. We have the next class together as well," he grinned and held up my schedule.
"How did you-" he cut me off.
"I took off your desk in homeroom class."
"Bull! I put I did not even take it out when I was in homeroom!" I was fuming.
"No. You went in and put it on your desk. Anyway, let's go we're going to be late," once again he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the next class.
"Listen Cullen, this grab and drag thing really has to stop. I hate it, ok? Stop freaking touching me!" We were now outside the class and he stopped. "I am asking you nicely now. Please just leave me alone. I do not know you and quite frankly I do not want to. I am not trying to be a bitch, but I just do not mix with your type."
He was silent but then continued to pull to the pianos at the back of the music class. I took a deep breath to calm myself. Relax Michelle. Be nice. Do not hit him matter how good it will feel…
"Edward I-" he shushed me.
My jaw dropped. Bitch! No one shushes me! I made a move to stand up but he pulled me back down and covered my mouth. "Michelle calm down. I don't like this teacher. I am doing you a favor." I glared at him and licked his hand. That look was priceless! Slowly he took his hand away and stared at it. Hmm… he tastes sweet. Too bad his character is so sour.
"Y-you licked me…"
I lifted my brows in questioning. "Have your siblings never licked you before when you covered their mouths?"
"Well…yes. But you licked me." He stared at his hand again.
I rolled my eyes, "Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it." I was about to say something else but a felt a presence behind me and slowly I turned around. A young man, the teacher, was standing behind me. "Um…hi?"
"Good morning. I assume that you are my new student?" His voice was quite deep and red-brown hair shadowed a set of grey speckled eyes. I nodded. "Hmm…sing something. Show me what you've got. And since you and Cullen are so well acquainted he will pick your song." Fuck…Cullen better choose a good song or I am going to shoot him!
Edward was silent for a few seconds then said, "Anything but Ordinary by Avril Lavigne."
I sighed in relief. At least I know this song… the teacher gave me look and I started singing.
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep, it's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I want to scream, it makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I have been to the extreme
(I feel)
So knock me off my feet
(I feel)
Come on now give it to me
(Ohh)
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
That this world is this beautiful, accident
(la, la, la, la)
Turbulent succulent, opulent
(la, la, la, la)
Permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep, it's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
(Somebody)
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
Oh
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please…
I trailed off into silence. Suddenly applause erupted form the rest of my classmates. I blushed and looked at the teacher that was now heading my way. Oh my Lestat! He is looking down my corset! The fucking pervert! It took nearly everything I had not to just hit the teacher right there. "Impressive. Pick an instrument and sit by me desk please." I sighed and sat back down next to Edward.
"I play piano, sir." Edward smirked and the teacher glared at him, but said nothing.
He continued with his lesson…
XoxoxoX
Alright. This is where I am ending it. Quite honestly I was meant to end it off much earlier but I decided to be nice. Now you see that little block that says 'Review this Chapter/Story'? Well…do it! Haha. Oh and no flames please.
I will update this story once I have at least 5-10 reviews!
Lots of Looney Love!
