Chapter One – Realization of Emptiness

Bella's attitude is slightly less mushy, so this chapter might not be whatever everyone expected or the story to follow. I'm not a fan of Twilight; I just saw the opportunity to write something interesting and decided to do so.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy it and please review if you did.

Isabella Swan stepped out of her truck and stared at the gawking students with an air of annoyance. Yes she was the new student here and yes her truck was crappy compared to half of the vehicles parked in this parking lot. But it was not her choice to come here, she had little choice; either she put her mother in a difficult position or she left and made it easy on the both of them.

Sure, living with Charlie would be utter hell as the man barely had the instinct to wash or feed himself, but she felt like she owed it to the both of them. She had deprived her father of a relationship with his daughter and she had almost taken the opportunity from her mother to be happy.

No, she would find happiness here even if it killed her. At least she knew one person, which was kid named Jacob Black that came with his father to deliver the truck; it was quite the unexpected gift but she appreciated it a lot.

As the students stared at her she shuffled over to the main door; she didn't feel like being prey to their scrutinizing glares. She wasn't some foreign object with a label, she used to live her when she was younger; this place was as much her home as it was theirs!

Once she was inside the building a Chinese looking boy ran up to her and started to mumble on about a feature for a newspaper and regardless of how excited he was she actually felt like slamming him with her backpack; she didn't need or want any more attention than she had originally gotten in the parking lot.

Dear God, she couldn't wait to see the gym class; if they were talking now they would really start to talk once she knocked the first student unconscious with her wonderful accidental aim. Sometimes she wished she had gotten more genes from her father; mainly coordination and the ability to stay on her feet for longer than five minutes at a time.

The day when a man swept her off her feet would be the day when he tried to stop her from falling flat on her behind; as if she would ever consider that. She had seen how easily love break up and regardless of how hard her father tried to convince her he didn't miss her mother she could see the pain gleaming in his eyes.

If she ever chose a man it would have to last forever. She smirked inwardly at the ludicrous idea as she walked towards her first glass: science.

(Lunch Break)

Isabella was sitting next to a girl she had learned to be Jessica and she knew the name would escape her shortly; she always forgot names and the only thing she did remember was that this girl had some sort of interest in a man named Mike; the one she had almost knocked unconscious in the gym glass.

As she put a forkful of salad into her mouth her eyes landed on a few students entering the cafeteria and she felt her skin chill as she looked upon them. "Who are they?" Isabella asked as she looked towards Jessica and pretended not to take much notice of the extremely attractive and pale students.

Jessica peeked over her shoulder as she sipped from her juice box. "The Cullens, the two walking in front is Jasper and Alice." She said as a pale blonde male and a pixie-like looking feeling walked passed them. "That is Rosalie and Emmett." She said as a tall blonde girl strolled passed with a muscular black haired man.

"But if they're family, why are they holding hands?" Isabella asked as she watched the last person enter; this one was alone. "And who is he, is he part of the Cullen's?" Isabella asked as she turned towards the man, watching as he glided towards the table with the other Cullens gracefully.

"Oh, that is Edward Cullen; he doesn't have a 'significant other' yet." Jessica said in a voice that appeared to be self-pitying and with her sentence this man named Edward smiled; as if he had heard her from across the room.

Jessica stopped her self-loathing and turned back towards Bella as she continued to sip on her juice. "They're not actually related; they're all adopted by this doctor named Carlisle Cullen. But they're like really together." Jessica said and Bella could see the disgust on her face; she obviously didn't think it was right and Bella didn't think so either.

"Oh." Bella said as she continued to eat her salad, not paying any further attention to the odd couples on the other side of the cafeteria. As a matter of fact, she wanted to avoid them. "That's just wrong." She said as she pulled her face in disgust as well.

She would definitely stay away from them.

Well, as I said the personality is different. Please review if you liked it and only the first chapter would be this short.
