This takes place in new moon after Edward leaves (to avoid confusion). Although it is the saddest time in the books, it is my favorite to write about.

His first day

" Hey can I sit here?" A silky voice said from my immediate right, forcing my head upward. Most of my movements had been like this lately. Involuntary. I zone out for almost the entire school day, only coming back to put on a semblance of happiness for Charlie's benefit. Although sometimes I think he can see through it. I am usually latent, but today-

"Sure dude, sit down." Mike said almost before I realized someone had spoken.

A beautiful boy sat down in the chair next to me. He forced me to remember everything I had been repressing. A shock ran through me.

It was the new kid everyone had been talking about. He was perfect. His black hair was long and swept back away from his face. His perfect teeth were revealed in an appealingly playful smile. Dark lashes framed his strikingly blue eyes. Everything about him contrasted with his white-as-snow skin. The similarities did not end there. In one hand he carried an unopened bottle of soda.

I could feel the shock on my face as he sat down.

"Bella?" It was Jessica. "You okay?"

Suddenly I was rising from my seat. "I have to go," I said in a monotone.

Dumping the untouched tray of food in the garbage, I almost ran to my locker. I diligently studied calculus until the bell rang and then progressed through my remaining classes in a haze.

But of course, my day could not just end peacefully. I picked up my book bag and prepared to head to my truck.

"Hey!" A clear voice cried over the others "Wait up!"

I walked faster. Maybe I could get out before-

"Hey! Brown haired girl!" The voice was closer now. "Brown eyes!" he yelled.

People in front of me were turning to watch.

"Not you." He said discouraging the people who had stopped.

Then I suddenly realized what this reminded me of. My first day here. Everyone had welcomed me…except for one boy. That part of the day haunted me. Now I was doing the same to this boy. I was probably ruining his day by being the only one who wont talk to him. Plus, I thought, I was clearly overreacting. I was just picking out the similarities because he only had something to drink. He's not THAT good-looking. And he has blue eyes. Not the normal vampire colors.

I calmly turned to look in his direction. The boys blue eyes crinkled up at the edges as they pierced mine. My heart pounded uncomfortably. I had barely noticed it was there over the last couple months. He nodded toward the doors. I squeezed through the students until I was out. Yay. Maybe I could make a run for it- but there he was, sliding through the doors easily and walking over to me, more graceful than any human. Yet not the same grace I was used to with vampires. His movements were playful.

"Hey!" he said as soon as he was close enough.

"You were calling for me?"

"Well I guess you're not the only brown eyed brunette in the school but yes"

He flashed me a brilliant smile. My brain whirled. Déjà vu.

"You ran away at lunch before I could properly introduce myself."

"Sorry. You just reminded me of someone."

"Oh really?" He sounded truly curious "Who?"

I stiffened automatically. "None of your business" I turned and began to walk away.

"Wait! Wait!" The boy laughed, keeping up easily. "I'm sorry. Its really not my business." I stopped again, waiting for him to say something. "My name is Mackenzie Johnson." What a strange name was my first thought. Unpopular. Mackenzie is a girl's name.

"I'm Bella Swan," I said, holding out my hand. He looked away instead of taking my hand. I let it drop.

"Bella," he mused, "that's a pretty name." His eyes fixed on mine. His perfect eyebrows came together as he narrowed his eyes in unexplainable frustration.

"Yes?"

"I just…" He began in a distant voice but then seemed to come back. He continued in a light easy voice. "I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me this weekend."

I froze up. "I don't date." I said stiffly.

"Oh." he looked truly surprised and slightly hurt. His back arched and he was suddenly defensive. "What? Do you have a boyfriend? Or did he break up with you, or something? Still crushing on him?"

Suddenly the ground was flying up toward me. Some one caught me but my Head hit something hard and sharp. Everything was going black.

"Bella!" Mackenzie's voice was alarmed. "Somebody call the hospital!"

There were other panicked voices around me.

An icepack was placed on my forehead. "Bella, you're burning up. Can you hear me, Bella? What happened?"

The icepack was pulled away. Why is it gone?

I heard sirens and Mackenzie talking to someone. "No, I don't know what happened. Bella just collapsed. Then she hit her head on that rock and...I don't know what happened!"

"Oh" the voice sounded older. "This is Isabella Swan. We are used to seeing her in the hospital."

I could feel myself being carried away but voices followed.

"Why what's wrong with her?"

"Nothing in particular. She's just in a lot of accidents. Last year she fell down two flights of steps and through a window. Broke pretty much every bone in her body."

"But she did not do anything! We were just talking and I said something about a boy friend and she collapsed."

There was a pause in which I could feel people examining me.

Then the voice said in a lower, more secretive voice, "Well a couple of months ago, Chief Swan brought her in to us. It was a few days after her boyfriend broke up with her. She was not responding to anything. She seemed to have gone into some kind of coma."

My consciousness was slipping away from me but in the distance I could hear two cries of anguish mingled as one – Edward's and Mackenzie's.

I do not own anything except Mac...he's all mine ;)

More about Mac- he is a fictional character. Yes, I do know a McKenzie (in school) a Mackenzie (my friends sister) and a Mackenzie (I met him in Paris). Am I secretly in love with one of them and this is my way of telling him? NO! (not that i dont love ya Mac...just not this way) I just love the name.

I am a huge fan of Ed&Bella but felt Bella needed a change.

yes i do know Stephanie never said Forks had lockers...theres no need to tell me.

Please review.
