Bella Swan is getting back to life after having a heart transplant, and she is different; cold hearted and never smiling. When Edward Cullen first sees her, it's like love at first site. Can he get Bella to open her heart? All human.

So this new story just kind of came too me, and it's always interesting to do plots were Edward and the Cullen's are human. So here we go I hope you like it.

It's not a very dramatic story, more Edward getting Bella to open her heart with a little romance. In this story the gang is in their senior year of high school and all are aged eighteen. Edward, Jasper, and Rosalie are all Carlisle and Esme's children and how there all eighteen (Well since this is fiction- Edward was born first, then Esme got pregnant again two-months later with the Twins). They were all born in the same year.

Also I'm not a big fan of Bella's truck so I'm having her drive a vehicle of my own choice in this story.

In this Bella's relationship with her mom is not all that great, more of that will be revealed later, I just don't want any confusion her at the beginning. Also there is a lot of detail in the beginning, but gets to more talking mid chapter.

Chapter one: Unlike any other


'This is Renee please leave a message.'

"Hey mom it's Bella, you wanted me to call you when the plane took off, and everything is all good, I guess I'll call you again before the plane lands."

My mother had told me to call her when the plane took off. She was not very happy with her seventeen year old daughter being on plane by herself, but I should have known that she would not answer her phone. Chances are that she was being kept busy with my half siblings; Olivia was three years old, and Evan was about two months.

They were mostly the reason that I was heading to Forks to live with my father, Charlie. My sibling's father is minor league baseball player and is only home to sleep, and mom never has time for herself with work, Phil, and the kids.

Also eight months ago I had heart transplant surgery, and my life was now just getting back on track, but with the busy and crazy lifestyle I was living my doctor basically demanded I needed peace and quiet, and to still take things easy so I'm heading to Forks. Forks would definitely bring so peace and quiet. A small town that rained everyday, my father was the police chief but promised to keep work away from home but with his job he said he'd be gone by the time I woke up for school and would not get home till a little past regular dinner time.

The plane ride was long but I kept busy with books and my Ipod. I called Renee a half-hour before landing and she was not in the best mood. I woke her up from a nap that in result woke up Evan. The conversation lasted less then a minute and she hung up before I could even say goodbye.

I knew deep inside that she was ecstatic to be rid of me, but the least she could have done was say goodbye.


"You did not bring much." Charlie was referring to the fact that I brought I back pack, two duffle bags, and two suit cases. Since this was a permanent move I think he expected me to bring more.

"Renee is shipping the rest of my stuff, this is just the essentials."

Charlie dropped the rest of my stuff in my new room, which was fairly furnished. It had a bed with a blue comforter; it had a desk, a stand next to the bed, a lamp, a chair for the desk, a lounge chair, there was even a small TV and DVD player, a dresser, small closet, and one window.

"Well I'll let you get settled, I'm ordering a pizza, you like anything specific?"

"I don't care. I'm not a picky eater."

"Okay." He said before leaving me to unpack. I was done in less than an hour and the pizza had arrived. Charlie and I each got pizza and went our separate ways. He went to the TV to watch basketball and I retreated to my room and watched re-runs. I had not even been here a full day but I kind of felt like I was back in Phoenix. When I was not helping Renee with the kids, everyone in the house was more spread out. Here it was more quiet, and I would definitely have more time too myself. I think I could get use to it.

I had watched six re-runs then Charlie came upstairs making an attempt at conversation. He asked about any precautions with my heart, asked about Renee, and then we discussed school. He had me registered but since tomorrow was a Thursday he said I could wait till Monday to get started; The was no need in avoiding it since I already lost so much time because of the heart transplant plus Mondays were never good days to be at school. Then Charlie surprised me, he took me out to the garage and parked next to his vehicle was a used Jeep Liberty Sport. It was about three years old but in really good condition. I did not have a car back in Phoenix and was extremely grateful. I told Charlie "Thank You" about fifty times and things went south when he attempted to hug me. I just was not a big hugging person; he seemed disappointed but admitted he was not much of a hugger either.

After explaining the directions of how to get too the school I went back upstairs for a shower. I would sleep in tomorrow morning for the jet lag was setting in now.

When I undressed I did what I always did; avoiding eye contact with the scar on my chest, if I looked at it I would either get angry or upset. I had never really accepted the heart transplant or even thanked it. When I was told I'd would need a heart transplant I constantly wondered, why me? What have I done wrong? Why do I need this surgery? I also knew that the heart was the main part of the body and felt wrong having to take someone else's. I felt wrong in so many ways but now I was just not happy.


Finding my way to the school was fairly easy, but of course I was not prepared for anything. Prepared for the fact that just about every student in the parking lot was staring at me – after all I was new. I was not prepared to get lost in finding the main office, and not prepared for the cold weather. I dressed in a pair of jeans and a black short sleeve shirt – it was my usual ensemble in Phoenix – and a pair of Converse.

When I did finally find the office the receptionist rambled on about me being the chief's daughter, then I finally said something and she gave me my schedule and locker number. I found my way around a little easier; luckily there was not anyone at my row of lockers. I had finished packing my back pack when I realized I was not alone. Someone – whose locker was right next to mine – began rustling through their locker. I chanced a peek, and standing next too me was (and I could not believe I was thinking this) the most gorgeous guy I had ever seen, so cute that I might need another heart transplant. He had the physique of a Greek god, but he was also much built and in good shape, he had green eyes and bronze like hair. I looked away for it would be that last time I really looked at him. I had met and known many guys like him and they were all conceited jerks.

I returned to my back pack where I was working on a zipper that would not zip. I pulled forward and backward a few times before finally jerking it, I lost grip of my back pack and it hit the floor with my pens and pencils spilling out.

"DAMN IT!" I cursed a little loudly catching my neighbor's attention, who of course had to engage me in conversation.

"Here let me help you, you must be the chief's daughter." He said nicely and grabbed some of my pencils.

"Yep that's me." Now I was annoyed; I don't think I could take a day of being called 'The Chiefs daughter'.

I grabbed the rest of my stuff and stood up to put them in my locker. My neighbor stood up too and handed me the rest of my pencils.

"Thanks," I said hoarsely. I grabbed my stuff for class, closed my locker, and began to walk to my first class. And my neighbor followed.

"Hey wait," He yelled, and ran in front of me.

"I'm Edward." He extended his hand out and I stared at it. This was unexpected; I did not know anyone in high school who shook hands or helped someone pick up there stuff off the floor. I did not shake hands either.

"Uh, I don't shake hands."

"Oh that's okay-"I really needed to find my class before the bell rings, I did not exactly have time for small talk. Satisfied with his answer I side stepped Edward and began my walk again, but Edward was not finished. This time he stayed by my side and walked my pace.

"I didn't get your name."

"Isabella, preferably Bella." I said while pulling out my schedule.

"So what's your first class?" He asked eagerly.

I could come out and tell him that I don't have time for small talk but I guess maybe he could help me find my first class room. I really examined my schedule for the first time and groaned. Biology. Lately I had been finding myself not to be a morning person at times, and having Biology first hour was not conducive too anything.

"Biology," I stated.

"Perfect!" He seemed excited. "That's my first class too. Just take right at the next hallway and it's the third classroom on the left."

So I did, while keeping focus on my schedule. Which Edward noticed also; we had five out of six classes together (Which he seemed happy about). We got too the room and Edward held the door open for me, and even introduced me to the teacher – he was quite the gentleman, I had never met one of those. So I was not sure how to feel when ironically my assigned seat was next Edward.


EPOV

"I heard the Chief's daughter will be starting at our school this week." I decided to make some conversation on our ride too school. On a school week Monday's just sucked, and everyone was usually quiet and tired on the way too school. Sometimes I just hated the silence. So, I brought up something that was surely to wake up Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett.

"Oh, yeah that should be interesting. The daughter of a police chief." He was talking like it was the worst thing in the world.

"Don't pass to judgment. We don't know who she is, but I think I remember her from kindergarten." Rosalie joined in the conversation.

"Me too, I bet she's hot!" That earned Emmett a slap upside the head from Rosalie.

"Ow… I'm just stating a fact babe you know I only have eyes for you."

"Hey do you mind not getting so gushy with my twin sister."

"Get over it dude."

Jasper was convinced that with Rosalie and himself being twins that they shared some special connection, so he did not want be witness to anything of her romantic relationships but I agreed with him; Rosalie is the youngest – my little sister and it was in an older brothers nature to feel like that.

We continued on with casual conversation through the rest of the ride. Once to school, Rosalie and Emmett took off, and Jasper met up with his girlfriend: Alice. Sometimes I was glad when we all split up, cause I was usually a fifth wheel but at the same time I did not like being alone. Emmett always made comments about me needing to get a girlfriend, but I had not found a girl I really liked. That was until I met my locker neighbor.

When I saw her at the locker I knew she had to be the new student – The Chief's daughter – because the locker she was now using had been vacant since the beginning of the year. She had turned around for just a second but it was like I was hit with cupid's arrow. Brown hair, brown eyes, no makeup, and not too over done with clothes. She looked completely natural and beautiful. I could tell right away that she was not like the other girls in this school; yep I had found my girl.

I walked to my locker, put my stuff away and organized my stuff for first hour. I could have sworn she looked over at me but I was not sure. I was getting ready to introduce myself when I heard her curse and her backpack hit the ground. I would help her pick up her stuff, it's the kind thing too do and I could engage her in conversation.

"Here let me help you, you must be the chief's daughter." I said while grabbing some of her pencils.

"Yep that's me." She seemed annoyed when she said that, but I guess I was not the first one to say 'The Chiefs daughter'. This had been going around the school all week that she would be coming to Forks.

She stood up with her stuff and so did I. She put her stuff in her locker before getting her pencils from me. She thanked me, grabbed her stuff for class and took off. Okay so she did not seem like one for small talk but I needed to know her name, and find out if we had any classes together so I followed her. I ran to catch up and found myself in front of her and she stopped walking.

"I'm Edward." I introduced myself and extended my hand. She just stared at it like she did not know what too do.

"Uh, I don't shake hands." She stated. I found it not to be a big deal.

"Oh that's okay-"She went around me before I even finished talking, I found myself annoyed in a laughable way. She was definitely not like the other girls in this school who liked to keep me in their sites, and not let me go until the second bell for class rings.

I kept up with her this time; we were walking side-by-side. I slowed my pace to keep up with her.

"I didn't get your name." I was a bit eager.

"Isabella, preferably Bella." She said without looking at me, and I noticed she had her schedule out. Now if I can just keep her attention. I had never had to work so hard to keep someone's attention.

"So what's your first class?"

She groaned then answered me. "Biology." She seemed annoyed again.

"Perfect!" I said nonchalantly. "That's my first class too. Just take right at the next hallway and it's the third classroom on the left."

We engaged in one more bit of talk and I discovered that we had the first five hours of classes together, I tried to hide my happiness about it, but it was just too good to be true! We made it too the class room. I held the door open for her and introduced her too the teacher, then my day got better: her assigned seat was next to mine.

Now that Bella was here, Mondays did not seem so bad.
