Ok, so hey guys!! (If anyone reads this…) this is my first Twilight fan fiction… I've moved from the Disney side of life to the slightly darker Twilight side of life… I have to say, the Twilight fanfics are rather addictive… mind you, so are the (cough) High School Musical (cough) ones…
Go easy on me please, I've only read the books once, so I don't remember every single detail of them but I will try to be as accurate as possible…
So pretty much, this story is a non-vampire-ific story and it's pretty much the 'gang' at school. Yup. Sept that Bella and Edward hate each other. I know. It's horrible. But there's a reason. Which you'll find out within the next two chapters…
Read, review, tell me what you think etc etc
And I don't own anything to do with Twilight except my dreams…
"First day of school and I've already got homework. How's your day going?"
I looked up to see one of my best friends walking beside me. I looked over her short spiky bob, trendy clothes and her sparkling green eyes. It didn't look like she was pissed. In fact, she looked more excited to be at school than anything.
"Well Alice, first period, I got the only teacher in the school that spits and as an added bonus; I got the front row seat!" I said with fake enthusiasm as we walked to lunch, "and then, I got put beside Emmet in English, so it looks like I won't be getting much work done this year"
"Did I hear my name?" a tall muscled boy asked as he fell into step beside us
"Bella was just telling me how she has to sit beside you for a year"
"Cant be as bad as sitting beside you" Emmet laughed, his green eyes dancing as he nudged Alice with his shoulder
"So who'd you get last period?"
"Matheson. He's all good. We all have separate seats so it's no big deal who I've got sitting beside me"
"It's the first day and I can't wait for the year to be over!" Emmet said as he dropped his books on the table with a bang, "now what's for lunch?"
"God, you and your stomach" I laughed, rolling my eyes
"Well you just don't eat enough. Hey babe" he said when Rosalie sat down beside him
Rosalie was the kind of girl that walked into a room, and everyone's eyes fell on her. She had long blonde hair that cascaded down her back beautifully, even when she was having a 'bad hair day'. She had perfect 'plump' lips and gorgeous blue eyes. She had a figure any girl would kill for. In general, she was just perfect. And she was an amazing person to boot.
"Hey. How's your guys' day been?" she said with a smile as Emmet wrapped his arm over her shoulders
"Bella's sucks" Emmet laughed, "and what about yours little sister?"
"I have a class with Jasper" she said with an elated sigh, "speaking of which, where is he?"
"Talking to coach about something"
"Ew. That's why you stink" I laughed, "You just had gym"
"You know you love the smell Bella" he laughed as he lifted his arm in the air and moved his arm pit in my direction
"Ew you are so gross Em" Rosalie laughed as she forced his arm down
"Hey guys" a blonde guy that looked like a male version of Rosalie said as he sat down and pressed a kiss to Alice's forehead. His blue eyes danced when he saw her smile, "sorry I'm late. Got held up"
"Speaking of being held up, where's Edward?"
"Who cares?" I mumbled so quietly that no one heard me
Edward was Alice and Emmet's brother. Alice's twin to be exact. But aside from the fact they both had green eyes and they were absolutely beautiful, they didn't really look alike. Alice and Emmet looked more like twins than Alice and Edward.
As much as I would never say it out loud, I had to admit that Edward was sexy as hell. He had dazzling green eyes that got him both into and out of trouble, bronze hair that just screamed at you to run your hands through it and a body the gods would be jealous of. I hadn't seen the whole thing, but what I had seen… indescribable. I could see why he got so many girls. And I didn't blame the girls for falling for his charm. But it sure didn't make me like him as more than something I'd had a small attraction to last year.
"I think I saw him leaving with Jessica" Jasper, the blonde, said with a smirk as he got up and made his way to the food
I rolled her eyes and followed Jasper to the line
"So Jessica again? I wonder if he's gonna get serious about her" Emmet said with a chuckle when he stopped in the line behind me, trapping me in between the two boys
"HA!" Jasper laughed, "like that's gonna happen anytime soon"
"We can dream. Why can't he just find a nice girl and stick with her. Hey Bella your single aren't you? Do you wanna date my little brother?" Emmet asked, knowing full well that I couldn't stand Edward and his playboy ways
"Ew. Em, don't even joke about that. It's disgusting"
"You know you think he's hot" Jasper laughed, earning a whack from the back of my hand
"Seriously guys. Stop. I'm gonna throw up"
Taking our food back to the table, the three of us sat down with Jasper and Emmet handing Rosalie and Alice a plate full of food as well
"Bella has the hots for Edward"
"I do not asshole. You guys are gonna get the bash in a minute" I warned, narrowing my eyes at Emmet
"Now now Bella. Calm down. We know you don't like him" Rosalie said with a small chuckle along with the two boys
"What're we talkin' bout?"
"Nothing interesting" Alice said as her brother sat down and took a chip off her plate, shoving it in his mouth
Edward had a smirk on his face that told me all I needed to know.
"Where were you?" Rosalie asked with a twinge of annoyance in her voice
"Just… talking with someone"
"Jessica right?" Emmet laughed
"And Lauren" Edward said with a smirk
"Ugh" I mumbled, obviously not quiet enough
"And what're you 'ugh-ing' at?"
"Nothing"
"Well at least I'm getting some action" the disgusting pig said with his most beloved smirk
"You're not as awesome as you think you are"
"Yeah. I am"
"Guys do you have to do this right now?" Alice spoke up, waving her hand in between our death glares, "I mean, it's the first day of school, a fresh start. Can't you be nice to each other?"
"Ha! Like hell" I said as I stood up and walked away, suddenly not hungry anymore
Storming through the school corridors, I soon realised I had no where to go, and no one to see. There was still forty minutes left in the lunch break, and all of my friends were in the cafeteria.
"Bella! Wait up!"
I turned to see Alice running after me
"I know he's an ass, but you don't have to leave because of him" she said with a sigh as she handed me the books I'd left behind
"I know Al, but if I'd stayed longer, I'd probably have jumped across the table and started strangling him"
"Wow. And that wasn't even a fight compared to your usual efforts"
"I know. I guess I've just been kinda stressed lately"
"Why? What's up?" she asked as we made our way to the car park
"Just… Charlies been working late a lot and I guess the whole being alone thing is starting to take its toll on me"
"You know you're always welcome at our house right?" Alice said as we lent against my truck
"I know I am"
"Is there something else wrong?" she asked with a raised eyebrow
"Nah stress and tiredness about cover it" I said with a small chuckle
"So it's not Edward?"
Not entirely
"No not at all"
"Good"
As we lent against my red Chevrolet piece of crap (I still love it) I thought over last night's nightmare. It was similar to most of mine. I was usually lost, or trapped, and always had searing pain going right through my heart, I'd start to find my way out what ever predicament I was in, then Edward would pop out of no where. I'd run to him and wrap my arms around him, sobbing into his chest, telling him how afraid I was, then just as I lent up to kiss him, he shoved me away roughly and told me he didn't want me. I wasn't good enough for him. He deserved so much better. It was like reliving the worst day of my life every night.
"Bella? Beeellllllaaaaa?" Alice called, waving her hand in front of my face, "the bell went"
"Oh. Shit. Sorry… was in my own little world"
"I noticed. You sure you don't wanna talk some more? After school or something?"
"Nah I'm cool. Thanks though" I said, giving her a hug before running off to my next class (A/N: yup, you guessed it. Biology!!)
I rushed into biology with a few minutes to spare and immediately spotted Angela, a girl I'd become friends with in my first few weeks at Forks High School. Unfortunately, we had grown apart since freshman year, I started hanging out with Alice and that group, and she became friends with Lauren and Jessica, who soon became the biggest sluts of our school. Fortunately though, Angela was still the sweet girl she had always been, she just hung around with the wrong crowd
"Hey Ange, anyone sitting here?"
"Only you" she laughed
"Oh thank god" I said with a sigh and sat down, "it feels so long since I've talked to you"
"It has been a while," she laughed, "kinda my fault though. I've been pretty busy"
"I know that feeling" I giggled just as the teacher walked in
"Alright class, sitting down please" he said as he placed a bucket on his desk and moved to stand in front of it, "don't get comfortable though please. I'll be organising the seating arrangements now"
A groan went up from the class
"Don't worry, I'll make it fair. Names will be drawn from the bucket and that's who will be your lab partner for the rest of the year" he said with fake enthusiasm as he held up the blue bucket
Suddenly, the door swung open and in sauntered a slightly dishevelled looking Edward
"Ah, Mr. Cullen. How nice of you to join us. Take a seat"
Edward sauntered to the back of the room and flopped down on a seat next to Jessica, who practically jumped in his lap the moment his ass hit the seat
"Alrighty. Let's get on with it"
He reached in and pulled out the first two pieces of paper, "Mike, Angela. This table" he said as he pointed to an empty desk close to the front of the room
"What are the chances?!" Angela said, peeved. I knew she hated her name being called first because it meant that everyone was watching her. I knew the feeling
I dazed off as more and more names were called from the bucket. Then I heard my name
"Bella. Bella. Isabella Swan?"
"Huh?" I said as my head shot up to see who was talking to me
"Welcome back. Your seat" the teacher said as he pointed to the now empty seat next to Edward
"Uh sir?"
"Yes?"
"Can I – "
"No you may not swap partners. Move it" he said with an ever so slightly angry tone. Obviously he'd been asked that question many times already
With a groan, I picked up my books and shuffled over next to Edward. Moving my chair as close to my end of the bench as I could, I sat down with my body turned as far away from him as I could without making it obvious I didn't want to see him. I'm not sure why I bothered. He knew I didn't like him.
"Great. I get stuck with you all year"
"Hey I'm not all too pleased about it either" I said turning to glare at him
"Oh please. I can tell your loving the fact that you get to spend the year looking at me. But I'm not looking forward to dealing with your moodiness and bitchiness for a year"
Every time he said something like this, I felt a knife twist just a little bit more into my heart. I know I've said many times that I can't stand Edward Cullen, but… there's a history between us…
"Just… don't talk to me and neither of us will have a problem" I hissed through my teeth as I flipped open my book to start taking down the notes the teacher was writing on the board.
What a fun year this is turning out to be!
--
"Hey Alice" I said, answering the shrill ringing of the phone. I didn't need caller i.d. to know that it'd be her
"Where'd you go after school?"
"I came straight home. I wasn't feeling too shit hot"
"Oh. Are you alright?"
"Yeah, just a head ache. Nothing a few aspirin won't fix"
"Ok then… so um, Edward told me you guys have biology together"
I inwardly groaned
"Yeah. So?"
"I still don't get it Bella. You guys used to be like best friends. Then one day you just decide that you hate each other?"
"Yeah something like that"
I knew it was killing Alice not knowing what had happened between us, but I figured I'd rather forget about it, than tell her and have her make me relive it everyday. As it turns out, my subconscious was doing that for me
"Are you ever gonna tell me Bella?" she asked, her voice slightly above a whisper
I sighed, "One day… look I've gotta – "
"Alice do you know where my green shirt is?" I was cut off my a guys voice in the background
"Edward, do I look like I know where your stuff is?"
"Geez chill. I was just asking. Can you help me look for it?"
I heard Alice sigh, "I'm on the phone"
"Ugh. Please Alice. I need it"
"Hey Bella, I've gotta go… I'll talk to you later. I'm not done with you yet" Alice said, talking to me this time
"I know your not" I said with a small chuckle as I hung up the phone
--
"Alice, seriously! You must've seen it!"
"No I haven't Edward! Have you looked in your drawers?"
"Of course I have"
"Wardrobe?"
"Yes"
"Clean washing pile?"
"The what?"
"Mom didn't get time to fold the washing so it's all sitting on the spare bed"
"Shit!" I half yelled as I ran up the stairs and into the guest room. Sifting through the pile, I finally found the shirt I was looking for. Ripping off the shirt I already had on, I pulled the green one over my head
"What happened between you and Bella?"
I turned to see Alice leaning against the door frame
"Nothing! I told you I wouldn't do anything to her while we were left along in bio. I'll be a good little boy" I said with sarcasm dripping from my voice
"Not today you dick. Before. When you used to be friends"
"Nothing!" I said again as I pushed through her to get to my room
Every so often, Alice would decide to push the fact that Bella and I used to be really close. And that one day we suddenly 'hated' each other
"You can't keep saying 'nothing' Edward Cullen! I deserve to know what happened! We all do! It's ripping you guys apart, and it's becoming unbearable for us to watch!"
"Nothing happened. We just… grew apart" I said, grabbing my wallet and keys off my dresser
"In a week?!"
"Yes!" I yelled as I pushed past her once again and jogged down the stairs, "I'm going out. I'll be home late"
"I'm not finished with you Edward Cullen!"
"I know your not" I mumbled, jumping in my silver Volvo and tearing down the driveway
So how'd you like it?
I know nothing much has happened, but I think it's still a good start…
Let me know. Tell me what you like, don't like… what I can do to make it better, or if you're twisted, what I could do to make it worse…
Reviews make my world go round!
