Bella sat in the passenger seat of her fathers shaky truck watching the massive redwood trees of Forks pass her by. Forks, middle of nowhere and the last place Bella wanted to be. Forks was so depressing, the almost constant rain during summer and snow during winter prevented any sunlight. Not that sunlight would help Bella with her near transparently white skin.
Her mother had gotten married again to some Bimbo news reported and moved to Florida shipping Bella all the way to Washington.
"How's your mother." Charlie said turning of the soothing music.
"Probably banging her new husband in Orlando." Bella said to her father, in her cold voice, silencing her father for the remainder of the drive home. She hated her father and all men, for just reason. If he wasn't such a cheating low-life scumbag she would still be in Arizona living like a normal family. Men were lying scheming creeps who cant be trusted.
An hour passed before they rolled up into the front yard of his two story shack house. Chipped paint, half-broken gutters, and stained windows littered the house. Bella grapped her bag and walked into the house that stunk of stale liquor and cigerrete buds. Walking passed the kitchen on her left bella ran straight up the stairs to her same old room.
Multiply times Charlie asked her to eat resulting in a frustrated Bella drowning him out with her Ipod till she collasped on her bed.
The next morning Bella woke up to Charlie barging into her room, "Honey, it's time for school."
"Yea, yea ill be right down." Bella rose to her feet, put on her clothes and headed downstairs with her backpack slung on her shoulder. Chalie drove her to her new school, Forks high, a collage of boring people from this boring town learning boring stuff. After saying bye to her dad, Bella walked into the school and suprisingly found the office to get her classes.
First up, English with Mr. Stale followed by Geometry with Mr. Kinson and finally Geography with Mrs. Lan before lunch. The classes dragged on more then they should, and people looked at her weird. Most of her classes were with people she didnt know but there were some faces that seem familiar. She hated being the new kid at school but she got over her, why would she care about other people.
When lunch came she had made a few friends and sat around the table with him. there was Jessica, who she shared geography with, and Amber, a friend with Jessica, and Matt, a trumpet player for the school band. They carried on typical conversations, who had sex with who, what the latest fashion was. Bella didnt particularly care but she kept with the talk adding in her comments every now and then.
"Oh my God, Jess did you hear that Edward rejected Christy!" Amber squeled.
Jessica replied, "What!? He has rejected everyone, how can a guy like that not be interested in the hottest girls at school." She pointed across the lunch room to a table of five teens each seeming so different in the way they dressed. The features they had in common though were their pale skin that made Bella look like she was tanned.
One of them turned from the others to return Bellas gaze. His eyes were a firery red that seemed to flicker like a fire. With a perfect pair of teeth he smiled at her with near unnaturally pointed canines. After a forced smile from Bella the boy rose from his seat tray in hand walking toward her.
Jessica and Amber squelled and giggled to each other as he walked closer. "Oh my god! Amber! Edward is coming!" Jessica whispered. Edwards walk was smooth as if he was weightless yet theatening like a lion stalking his prey.
Sighing at the girls insane behavior, Bella turned around to continue her lunch. He w as behind her though, his cold breathe brushing against her neck sending chill bumps down her back.
Edward whispered into her ear with a conceiled snicker "You have brocoli in your teeth."
Bella's face burned with embarrassment as she quickly tried to brush her teeth with her finger. Laughing slightly Edward walked away. before Bella could try to defend herself though, the bell singled the end of lunch.
The rest of school was spend in basic classes until the final one which was definately unique. Charlie had apparently signed Bella up for a self defense class in martial arts. Bella put on her gym clothes and stood in the gym with a group of 7 other people including that Edward guy.
"Everyone get a partner and work on getting out of a grapple" Boomed the annoying Mr. Torrel.
Everyone had a partner already except the one person Bella wanted the least. Edward smiled down at her with those burning eyes.
He spoke as he began to wrap his arms around her, "Are you ready?"
With a shiver, Bella gasped at his ice-like touch. She wanted to break from his hold but his hands flodded her mind with cold added with his strength made it impossible. Bella squirmed but his hold was firm.
"Just relax, take a deep breathe, then use your body as leverage to break free. " He whispered into her ear. Regrettable she listened to his advice and wedged her hands under his arms and, with one big thrust, broke free off his hold and fell tumbling to the ground. Edaward extended his hand to her, but she shook it away and rose to her feet for another round.
Class flew by, as the bell rang. Bella changed into her clothes and walked out to Charlie watiing in his truck. As she jumped in and reached into her bag, Bella groaned that she left her phone in the locker room.
"Ill be right back" She said to Charlie running into the school.
The gym was empty as she ran across the court into the locker room. She found her found in the locker as it must have just fell out of her bag. But as she got to the door Bella heard a feminine groan from the gym. Curiosity struck, her as she peeked inside the room.
One of the other girls in the self defense class stood in the middle of the gym back toward Bella. Infront of the girl was Edward eyes that matched his shark-like grin. With one of his arms he took the girl by the waist and pulled her close and with the other he seductively brushed the hair from her now exposed neck.
Edward kissed the girls neck before plunging his ferocious canines into her neck. Blood seeped gently down her back as her groans echoed in the room. Bella let out a silent squel before covering her mouth. Edwards fire eyes stared right at her as he let out a growl like a lion having his meal interrupted.
