Chapter 1

Friends and Foes

EvaPOV

Hi, my name is Eva Alice Swan. I have long, raven black hair, very pale skin, and golden brown eyes. I am sixteen and am going to be entering Forks High as a junior. I have pretty lived here my whole life, my mom's a vampire, and I have never met my dad. I also model for some of Seattle's local magazines, but I will soon have to give that up when I turn into a vampire, which will be in a few months when I turn seventeen.

"Eva come on, you're going to be late for your photo shoot." My mom called. Even though we lived in Forks, I had most of my photo shoots taken in Seattle.

"I'll be right there." I called. I tossed on a pair of dark skinny jeans, a red shirt, and a pair or brown flats. There were just going to redress me again there. Why bother to look good? Today we were going to get dressed in homecoming dresses. Of course I already have a date, my boyfriend, Dustin Black.

We were off to the photo shoot when my mom asked, "So, do you have a date yet?"

"Uh," I knew my mom didn't really like the Blacks ever since Jacob had imprinted on Delilah, "yes."

"Who is it?" she kept pestering me.

"A kid from school." Just a few years ago everyone from the reservation was allowed to go to Forks High.

"What's his name?"

"Dustin." I mumbled.

"Dustin who?"

"Black." I said even quieter.

"Oh, that's nice." She said trying to be happy for me, but I knew she that she was being torn on the inside. Whenever she was reminded of Jake memories from her past flooded her.

We got to the photo shoot without anymore talking where we were met by an overly excited makeup artist, or something like that.

"Ah, Eva, I don't know what we would do without you. Come on, you'll love your dress." She said.

"Do I get to keep it?" I teased.

"Of course, silly." She replied.

My dress was absolutely beautiful. It was a dark purple, had spaghetti straps, and a huge bright pink ribbon that ended slightly below my waist. There was an extra layer over the ribbon with elegant gold flowers. The silk dress came to about the center of my shins. It also had a black petticoat that gave the dress even more life. The dress fit me perfectly. My bangs were styled like normal bangs, not my usual side bangs, and the top half of my hair was poofed up and put into a large, pink butterfly clip. I wore flip-flops with a small heal to give me some height; I was only 5'2". I met up with Alicia, Megan, and Arabella. We all went to same school and were like sisters to each other.

"Come-on girls we have pictures to take." The photographer said. We all circled up next to the photographer, Sally, where we met up with Serena, Ella, and Natalie. We were also friends, but they lived in Seattle, so it was harder to get together. The photographer took us one-bye-one and then a few group shots. When we were done, we got undressed and chatted.

"So, how are things going with Dustin?" Arabella asked.

"They're okay, but my mom hates the Blacks, so it's kinda hard to do anything. What about you?"

"Not so much luck." She replied. We weren't exactly the most popular girls in school. The most popular girl in the school, Katrina, didn't make the cuts for modeling, but we did. Anyone who wants a social life can't talk to us.

"Come on, you're not going to be able to get up for school tomorrow." My mom called.

"Bye, guys!" I said to my friends as I walked out of the dressing room.

"I heard you talking about Dustin in there." She said.

"I figured you would." I replied. Stupid vampire hearing.

"I don't have a problem with you and Dustin. I just want you to be careful. They can break someone's heart as easily as they can win it."

"He might not be the same as Jacob." I said offended.

"It's more difficult than that, trust me."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Don't worry about it; it might not even happen."

"You're impossible." I muttered and she only laughed. But her laugh only turned upside down when memories flooded her. "Sorry." I said as she clutched her torso.

The rest of the ride was quiet. When we got home, I laid in my bed and drifted off to sleep. The next morning I took a shower, brushed my teeth and hair, and got dressed. I decided to put on a plaid red and black skirt, a black shirt that said 'Bite Me', white flip-flops, black leg warmers, and a white sweatshirt.

"You know I don't like that shirt." My mom said.

"I think it's cute." I replied. Someone's car honked. "That's Arabella; she's talking me to school today."

"Hey, Arabella." I said as I got into the car.

"Hey, I like your outfit."

"Thanks." Forks High was only about five minutes away from my house. I could walk if I wanted to. When we walked into school everyone was talking about the new kids. I think they were the Cullens.

"Hey, did you guys see the new kids yet?" Alicia asked. "They're extremely pale and drop dead gorgeous. Even paler than you, Eva."

That's when it all clicked in. The Cullens were back. The people that made the past sixteen years of my mom's life miserable.

"Bye, guys, I'm off to English." I said. This was one of the few classes that I didn't have any of them in. The first bell rang and one of the Cullens walked in. He sauntered in and gave Mrs. Dewberry a slip.

"Class this is Edward Cullen. He just moved here so please try to make him feel welcome." She said to the class. "You may go sit next to Miss Swan."

When he saw me, his eyes were wide with amazement and his mouth was slightly ajar. The perfect way to met the daughter you never knew about. I could help but let out a small giggle. "Is there a problem Mr. Cullen?" she continued.

"No, Mrs. Dewberry." He replied

"Than go take your seat."

When he sat down next to me he passed me a note.

Are you Bella's daughter?

Yes, why do you ask?

No reason.

Besides that, the rest of my morning went pretty well.

AlicePOV

I'm sorry, Edward, I didn't know.

"It's okay, Alice." He replied.

We should invite her over!

"Alice, she has a kid."

Then I'll invite her over. She's still my friend.

"She's not a kid any more."

I'll still try. But first I need to find out her phone number.

"Good luck with that."

I decided the best way was to go straight to her daughter.

"Hey, you mind if I sit here?" I asked Eva and her friends.

"Nope, go ahead, but if you want any chance of a social life, I wouldn't recommend it." Eva said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Long story." Alicia said. "Let's just say that Katrina doesn't like it when others are better than her."

"So, Eva, my mom, Esme knows your mom. She was wondering if she could have her phone number. She wants to get together."

"Sure." She said as she scrawled down a number.

"Thanks." I said as the bell rang.

"Anytime."

"Oh, and by the way, try to be nice to Edward. He's having a hard time adjusting."

"Oh, she will." Megan spoke for her. Eva shot her daggers. If looks could kill.
