Chapter 1
BPOV
I hate rain. This is all I can think as I lie in my bed trying to sleep. My name is Bella swan and I'm 16 years old. Today I moved back in with my dad Charlie. He lives in a gloomy town called Forks, which is nothing but rain. I insisted moving here to give my mum Renee and her new husband Phil some space.
I don't mind living with Charlie it's just that I'm going to have to get use to the rain here. I really need my sleep as I'm starting Forks high school tomorrow and I will need all my strength for that.
I try so hard to fit in with normal life but I am no normal teenager.
Since I can remember I have always been able to see and harness energy. I can use this energy for my physical needs, which enables me to run for hours on end with no excursion at all. I can also bend energy to move objects around or keep something still. This also means that I can move myself around, like flying I guess. There are different types of energy as u all well know; light, heat and movement. If I bend light energy I can make myself invisible or I can change heat energy to warm things up etc.
So I hate rain as it is constant moving and disturbing energy. I reached over and lit a rose scented candle. Soon with the relaxing heat waves I dozed off into a dreamless sleep.
I awoke to silence but with being in Forks that won't last long. I turned over and looked clock. It was 6am, kind of early but I will get up anyway. I sat up Indian style to get a read on the day's energy. Just slow buzzes at the moment but you never know how things can change.
I got up, had a shower and got dressed. On my way out I grabbed a green apple though I wasn't that hungry. Charlie had already left for work, so there was no one to see that instead of walking in the direction on school. I walked across the back yard into the forest.
I made myself 'invisible' and concentrated on forcing the energy around me down to the floor. In moments I was off the ground flying up into the air, the energy flowing past me. The feeling is exhilarating.
The school is about 5 miles so to get there fast I shot lots of energy backwards to create a sonic boom which shot me forwards. In moments I was closing in on Forks high school.
I walked out of the forest surrounding the school, being careful that no one saw me, but it seems I was early and hardy anyone has arrived yet. In the car park was just one sliver Volvo. (Must be early risers too). Around the car was a strange energy though which I haven't seen before, it was kind of a weak pulse emitting from it. Strange. I had to ignore the erg to go over and feel it
I walked to the building which said OFFICE over the door. Inside was a small cramped space with a bunch of desks and office stuff. I walked up to a red haired woman closest to me.
"May I help you?" she asked when she saw me
"My name is Isabella Swan, I'm new, today is my first day"
"Oh yes, chief swans daughter." She said while look through the paperwork on her desk "here is your schedule and a map to help you find your way around."
I took the sheets from her and mumbled a thank you. She handed me a slip of paper to get signed and bring back at the end of the day.
After I walked out the office I looked to see what I had first and where.
I had English in building 4 with Mrs. McCabe. I don't mind English so much as I have read most of the books which are usually assigned.
It was still quite a bit early so I was one of the first people in class. Mrs. McCabe signed my slip and told me to sit anywhere. When I turned around I realized there was a boy sitting in the back next to a window. He had insanely good looks with blondish coloured hair. But this isn't why I was stood gawking at him; this boy was surrounded by crazy energy. Normally energy has a shade of colour depending of the type and how concentrated it is. But this energy was pulsating different colours. It was simply beautiful. Blondie here gave me kind of a awkward smile so I dropped my gaze and sat at the table next to him but I could feel the incredible energy. Now people started to file in but they still noticed me, which made me nervous. The type of energy someone radiated can almost give me some idea of the emotions. Right now is mostly curiosity.
It was hard to concentrate on the work from the stares, which were making me uncomfortable and the awesome energy from the end of the lesson we got some 'chat time'. I couldn't resist myself from turning round to Blondie.
"Hello, erm… my name is Bella." I smiled politely at him. He looked up at me for a moment before he answered, but I couldn't place the look on his face.
"Hmm… I'm jasper. I don't think I have seen you before?"
"Yeah, I just moved here. To live with my dad.". Jasper just smiled and looked back out the window. I don't know what came over me; usually I keep to myself.
When the bell went, I got my stuff and was about to move when a cute faced boy approached me.
"hi, I'm Mike, your Isabella right?" Mike was talking to my chest
"Bella" I answered in a huff.
" I was just wondering if you needed help to find your next class" he was still talking to my breasts
"I think I will be quite fine, now go away" I know I'm being rude but he deserves it. He just looked shocked then walked off in a strop.
When I walked out of class I started to search for building 7, where I had trig. The warning bell sounded but I was still hopeless. If Mike wasn't such an ass I might have accepted his help, but now I'm going to be late. I was working myself into a panic thinking about the attention I will get when I walk in after the last bell. Then unexpectedly a hand on my shoulder calmed me down as the energy fluctuated strangely. But I still new the energy.
"Are you okay? Can I help you?" Jasper asked
"Umm... Yeah I'm just looking for my trig class with Mr. Hull" I said uncertain.
"Well I could show you if you like?" I just smiled and nodded. I felt relieved now. Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw him smirk
The morning continued seemingly uneventfully, apart from Miss Brownlie, who made me introduce myself in history.
At lunch I made my way to the cafeteria in a daze, thinking about the strange energy of Jaspers. After I got a bottle of water and an apple I searched for a place to sit. I soon blushed when I was getting a lot of stairs. Guessing from the desperate energy from Mike, he wanted me to sit with him. Instead I sat at a empty table. As soon as I did, everybody hushed, making me feel uncomfortable. Not soon after a voice behind be broke the silence.
"What do you think you're doing sat at our table?" I was going to answer when I realized the there was 5 god like beauties stood there. Not only had that but they all had the strange energy Jasper had. Then I noticed Jasper standing with them. My momentary silence annoyed blondie2 even more. She was glaring at me with such hatred, quite frankly I was scared and intimidated to answer in the end.
"Rose! Leave her alone, hey Bella" Jasper waved. His energy wavered again and I felt calmer, but I still couldn't answer, so I settled with a smile.
"Bella?" the pixie-like one asked Jasper
"It's her first day today, she's in my English" he replied while reaching for the pixie's hand.
I went to get up to move but I firm hand pushed me back down.
"We all know how firsts days are so you can stay, we don't mind" a velvet voice said. I turned to look who the voice belonged to and my heart missed a beat. He was quite tall. Built but not as much as the big guy, he had bronze coloured hair. Symmetrical face with Sharpe features and the most intriguing eyes I have ever seen, they were topaz with a ring of black. His energy seemed to be constantly wavering. I feel like things are going to be very interesting now in forks.
