AN In a way, this is like twilight. But Edward is a human, and Bella is not. Bella has been adopted by Carlisle and Esme, and lives with Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmet. Edward is an only child, and moves to Forks. The story is different but similar. I thought I'd try it...enjoy!
Dislaimer: All characters are Stephanie Meyers.
All from Edward's point of view.
I closed the door behind me. I took a deep breath as a walked to the reception. I hadn't really planned what I was going to say.
"Umm..I'm Edward Swan.." That was a good start to my life at Forks High.
The lady behind the desk looked up, her eyes were kind behind her wide brimmed glasses.
"Welcome to Fork's high school." She smiled at me.
"Thank you." I said quietly.
"He'res your timetable, and everything you'll need."
"Thank you." I said, again.
"Your welcome. Make sure you come see me at the end of the day. I hope you like it here in Forks."
I hoped so too.
I just nodded my head in thanks, and quietly left the room.
It was a typical High school, surprisingly similar to my old one, back in Phoenix. The students didn't look much different either, maybe a little less tanned. I looked around the parking lot. My truck wouldn't stand out too much from these cars. There was nothing too fancy, just one shiny silver Volvo.
I groaned as people turned there heads to look at me. Charlie was the police chief, I guess well known in this town, perhaps people recognised me.
I glanced down at the timetable in front of me, Geometry first. I sighed, this was going to be a long day.
The first lesson went slowly, but things did speed up. A few people talked to me, but only to ask if I was Edward Swan. I simply just nodded. I didn't like being the centre of attention. Some people would call me shy, which I would disagree with. I'm not shy, I just keep myself to myself, I was independent. I get that from Charlie I guess.
I was sitting quietly, at the back of the room, in the last period before lunch, when two girls approached me.
"Hey." The said in unison.
"Hey." I said, only looking up briefly. I saw them exchange a quick glance.
"So, where did you move from?" One of them asked, after a pause.
"Phoenix."
"I guess it's pretty different here in forks then."
"Tell me about it.." I said smiling politely.
They were encouraged by this, and they both took seats beside me.
"But when it's sunny, it is pretty round here." One of the girls said, trying to keep the conversation going.
"I can tell." I said, looking out the window. Forks was a miserable place, but even the pessimist inside me could see that it was pretty round here. There were so many trees, everything was so green, except the grey sky. I was looking forward to a sunny day, but it was still January.
"Do you know anyone here in forks?"
"Not really.I used to come here every summer, but I haven't come for like three years."
"Does it look any different since then?" One asked, with a smile on her face.
"Not at all." I smiled.
The bell rang, I jumped slightly.
"Sit with us at lunch?" She said it more like a question.
"Sure. Thanks."
"Oh by the way, I'm Angela, she's Jessica." Angela jerked her thumb towards the other girl, who was already nearly out of the class, talking to a blond boy.
"Edward. But I guess you knew that."
"Yeah." She smiled, and her cheeks reddened slightly.
I suppose my first day could be worse.
I looked around the cafeteria. Again, it was like every other High School. All the different cliques, the cheerleaders, the jocks, the nerds, all at their separate tables. The same as everywhere.
I put my tray down next to Angela, and pulled out the chair. On the other side of me, was a blond boy.
"Guys, this is Edward. He just moved from Phoenix." The other girl, Jessica explained to the table. I smiled shyly.
"I'm Mike." The blond boy next to me said, he spoke with confidence. He seemed nice.
I smiled, "Hey."
The table was awkwardly silent for a short while. Next to me, Mike suddenly sighed, looking over at the doorway, where a couple was standing, looking around the cafeteria. Instantly, I saw that there was something...different about them.
"Who are they?" I asked, quietly.
"They are the Cullens." He said, with a small smile on his face. "Those two are Alice and Jasper." He gestured to two people, a small girl, and a taller blond boy, they were holding hands.
"Are they like together?" I wondered.
"It's a little weird actually." He said quietly. "They're together, like properly, but they're like adopted siblings, I think. It's a little gross" It was, but they seemed happy together.
I looked at them, trying not to stare. She had short black hair, that stuck out in places, but looked good. Her skin was pale and perfectly smooth. Her eyes were dark, but almost gold. Her features were perfect.
"She looks...pretty good." I smiled.
He laughed quietly, "She's nothing compared to the others."
"The others?" I whispered, as they were closer.
"Yeah, there's a whole family of them. They all look like models," He said, slightly dreamily.
"And them...?" I asked as another model like couple came through the cafeteria doors. Even though they were adoptive family members, there was something that made them all similar. Not only were all of them insanely beautiful, there was something else.
"They are Rosalie and Emmet. They're also together." He said with a sigh.
"You like Rosalie?"
"I think every boy in the school probably does..." He smiled.
I smiled too, looking at her. I could see why. She had long, blond, perfectly curled hair. Her skin was also pale and perfect. He lips were red, plump, and perfectly even. Her eyes were perfectly oval, the same dark colour, with a tint of gold in them. Like Alice and the other two boys, she wore clothes that looked expensive.
Mike breathed out heavily, I looked at him.
"That is Bella." He said, in a weird, voice of almost amazement and wonder.
I followed his stares, my eyes almost popped out.
Like her family, she was well dressed and insanely beautiful, even more so than the rest of her siblings. Her hair was brown, with a slight reddish tint. It fell just past her shoulders, in waves. Her big, round eyes were brown and gold, and dazzled in the artificial light. Her skin was also pale, maybe paler than the rest, it looked, impossibly, even smoother than her sisters. Her nose was perfectly shaped, her lips were red, smaller than her sisters, but plumper. She walked through the cafeteria with her lips parted, in what looked like a smile.
"She's not with someone?" I tried to keep the hope out of my voice.
Mike laughed, and sighed, "No. But apparently she doesn't date. But a guy can hope."
Out of the corner of my eye, I watched them at their table, right in the corner. Alice and her 'partner', were lost in eachother's eyes, as were Rosalie and her partner. Bella was just staring into space, but still smiling. Apart from their impossible looks, there was something...strange, or different about the Cullens. For one, none of them were eating, which was odd enough, but there was something else. From their looks and their clothes, you would think they would be the most popular people in the school, but they sat alone, and seemed to keep themselves to themselves. It was a little weird, but I shrugged it off, scolding myself for staring
I sighed, and took a bite out of my apple.
The last lesson of the day was Biology. I walked into the room with Angela and Mike, who walked ot their seats. I looked around the room briefly,
"Sit over there, next to Isabella." The teacher said from behind me.
I looked over to her. I saw her mouth 'it's Bella.'
"Um..okay." I said queitly, smiling inside, quietly glad. As I walked over to my desk, I passed Mike, who winked at me, I smiled shyly.
I sat down next to Bella, and put my books on the desk. Out of the corner of my eyes, I looked at Bella. She looked seriously uncomfortable. She gripped the table with her hands, her nails digging into the wood, as if I had something wrong with me.
Subtly, I smelled myself. I smelled softly of my favourite cologne. I shrugged to myself.
The whole lesson, she sat there, never looking at me, never saying anything. Just staring into space, clutching the table, looking like I had a disease.
As soon as the bell rang, she jumped up off her seat, and practically ran out the room.
Mike came over to me,
"Hey, what did you say to Bella? She looked...strange.."
"I said nothing...I did nothing...she looked as if she wanted to kill me" I said quietly.
"Well, she is a Cullen. There is something odd about them."
He noticed it too.
I walked back to the office, as I was told to do. I opened the door quietly. A girl was talking to a man behind the desk. A different receptionist from before. I recognised the brown, wavy hair of the girl immediately.
"Please. Isn't there something I could do instead? I cannot go to the biology class" She pleaded.
"I'm sorry there's really nothing I can do. Every class is full."
"Argh..Fine. Thanks, you've been a great help." She said, she spun round, and raised her eyebrows quickly, seeing me.
Her golden eyes glared right through me as she left the room.
I frowned, then sighed, walking over to the reception.
Everyday that first week was pretty much the same, with one difference. No Bella. Everyday I looked to the Cullen's table, but I only saw to couples. Did she leave becasue of me? I couldn't help but wonder that. But I didn't believe it. Perhaps she was just ill? There is a flu going around. I did't think that I could have such a big affect on someone, so much of an effect that they went away. There must be another reason. Same about biology. Maybe she had a problem with the teacher? But whatever the reason for her not being her, that didn't change the fact that I was pretty sure she hated me.
