Chapter One: Forks

I stared out the car window at the passing scenery, it was like a horror movie; the dull sky, the mist and the rain. I loved places like this, mostly because I loved horror movies and gore...blood, is great. Most people in this day and age are into being like barbie...though the friends I had when I lived in California, we loved horror and most people thought we were oddballs not that it bothered me much...I like being an oddball as strange as that may sound, I prefered it, at least being the oddball there was no problems...or bitching for that matter when it came to other people.

My eyes travelled over to my dad and he glanced back at me but idn't say anything. The reason the two of us were moving to Forks, was because my dad and mom lived here as kids, or the other reason because my mother had gotten married about a week ago, as long as she was happy I suppose. My mom and me had always been like sisters...which then led me to my older sister Kimberly, she was married now too, only she was still young, she was only twenty three, she got married at the age of 19 and had a little boy, Aiden about half a year ago.

I would've gone to live with Kim but my dad was alone...and I was alone. So...more or lesswe needed the company so I chose to live with him. I smiled at the thought, my dad was plain...ordinary but he was the best let me away with a lot as a kid. He was mostly your average everyday guy. The thing I loved most about him was that we were so alike, taste in music, cars, films, tv shows.

"You doin' ok Ana?" He asked.

I looked over to him "Yeah, I'm fine" I smiled.

"Looks chilly out there"

"Yeah this place is cool though" I grinned.

"I knew you'd like it, you'll get to see Charlie and Billy...Billy's son Jacob...you haven't seen him since you were two"

"Dad...I met him at Kimberly's wedding" I said rolling my eyes "Remember...you made sure they were invited.."

"Oh yeah" He shrugged "Forgot Kim was married"

I punched his arm "Imagine forgetting your own daughter being married"

"No..I forgot about her completely"

"That's horrible" I teased.

"Ah, well...just you and me now, bud" He said and I smiled giving a nod. "Anyway you'll like Jacob"

"Are you trying to set me up?" I scoffed.

"Wh-NO!"

"Dad" I warned.

"No, I'm most definitely not" He said "Besides he's a year younger"

"Wouldn't stop you from trying..."

"I'm not your mom, kiddo"

"Right"

"You'll start school on Monday"

"That's in like two days" I said with a huff "I hate school"

"Don't get kicked out of this one"

"I didn't get kicked out of the last one"

"Nearly did"

"I didn't"

"We both know you did, Ana"

"Dad-"

"You were caught trying to set fire to the toilets"

"I told them that wasn't me" I said.

"You always did have a thing for fire"

"I did not. I prefer the cold"

"Liar. Nobody likes the cold"

"I do"

"Why?" He asked. This was what I meant...this is why I loved my dad. He didn't act like my dad sometimes.

"Because, when it's cold I can snuggle up under a warm blanket and be warm"

"You're a weirdo"

"Good" I said with a smirk.

My new house was pretty much the same as the last one...except a little bigger. I liked small houses...I dragged my suitcase up the stairs into the room, that my dad had said was already set up. I walked in...pretty much was. Bed, tv, bookshelf, the walls were a deep shade of Jade. I liked it, I let the suitcase fall to the floor with a thud, Dad told me he'd given Charlie and Billy money to get me stuff for the room and set it up for me. God I loved that man.

I moved out into the hall and picked up the boxes and went back into my room, dumping them on the floor. I could hear talking, and laughing so I moved to the window. I seen my dad standing with Billy, his son Jacob and Charlie. I smiled and moved back before pulling my hair back into a ponytail before going down the stairs to greet them.

"Ah, here she is"

"Little Ana isn't so little anymore" Charlie said.

"Nope" I said popping the "P" .

"You know, Jacob and I haven't seen you since you were a tiny little thing" Billy said and I cocked an eyebrow.

"I saw you at my sister's wedding" I said with a laugh "Why does everybody always forget Kim?"

"She's not special like you are" my dad said.

"I don't know if I should take that as an insult"

"Take it however you want to take it" He replied and ruffled my hair, I smacked his hand away. He then began talking to Billy and Charlie and I watched them as they began having something like a joke around and I looked to Jacob.

"Are they always gonna be like this?" I laughed.

"Gets worse with old age" he laughed in return.

"So what do you think?" Charlie asked and I furrowed my brows at him.

"Think about what?"

"Your homecoming present...your dad suggested that you needed a car to get around..." Jacob told me and I turned my head seeing the old grey truck. I grinned.

"You got me this?" I asked.

"You like it?" My dad asked.

"I love it" I said and moved over to it.

"I rebuilt the enguine" Jacob said and I grinned.

"Thanks" I said getting in, hitting Jacob with the door in the process. I scoffed "Sorry"

"It's fine" He said.

I heard Billy say "I told you she'd love it. I'm down with the kids"

"Oh yeah, dude" Charlie replied sarcastically "You're the bomb"

I let out a laugh as Jacob leaned over, he smelled nice. "So you gotta double pump the clutch when you shift, but...besides that..you should be fine"

"Is that it?" I asked pointing.

"Yeah, yeah that's the one" He said.

"You gonna needa ride to school?" I asked and he smiled sadly.

"Oh I go to school on the reservation"

"Oh...that sucks ass" I said with a frown.

I pulled up to the stupid school, in all honesty I didn't even want to go. Semester had already started and I wanted to wait...but oh no. No no. I had to go. I got out, after grabbing my bag.

"Nice ride" A guy said and I threw a heated glare at him.

"I own sarcasm. I don't remember giving you permission to use it" I said and he gaped at me as I walked away from him, hearing the people around him howl with laughter. As I walked, reading the schedual for the day, I bumped into someone.

"Hey"

"Hi" I nodded.

"Oh you're the new girl, Anastasia Collins right?"

"That would be Ana" I corrected.

"Right, you need anything? Tour guide? Lunch Date? Shoulder to cry on?" He asked.

"I'm good" I smiled "Thanks besides...I tend to suffer in silence and just get on with it"

"Good headline for your feature...I'm on the paper, you're news baby and you're front page "

"Oh god please don't...I look a mess in photos" I said "I pull this face...and it looks horrible."

"Chillax" he said "No feature"

"Write a collum if you want...with no pictures" I laughed.

"Cool" he smiled.

Later

I was in gym..god I hate gym. I did what I had to do, though I did end up punching some kid in the face when I tried to hit the ball.

"I am so sorry" I said helping him to his feet "I'm not good at this...other sports..sure...vollyball I suck"

"Oh it's fine...you're..Anastasia right"

I cringed "Ana"

I shook his hand and he grinned "I'm Mike Newton"

"Ana" I replied.

"She got some punch huh?" A girl asked. Oh I was not going to like this one. Just her voice..."I'm Jessica by the way"

"Good to meet you" I nodded polietley.

"Where is it you're from?" She asked.

"California" I shrugged.

"Oh..isn't is really warm there? You're gonna hate it here"

"Yeah it can be warm..but..I prefer the cold" I said with a nod.

God this was awkward "So you wanna grab lunch with us?" Mike asked.

"Sure..that'd be nice thanks"

After the awkwardness that was meeting these people, we walked into the cafeteria and went to the table. Mike pulled out a chair for me and I sat down. "Thanks"

"It's my pleasure" He said "You know my friend?"

"Hey, Mikey you met my home girl Ana"

"Oh-you're home girl?" Mike asked and I snorted slightly.

"My girl" A voice said and someone kissed my cheek, I turned my head to see a young guy pull Mike's chair out from under him. "Sorry, I had to break your day Mike!"

"Oh...Tyler" Eric said.

"Oh my god, it's like, the first grade all over again, you're the shiny new toy!" Jessica said.

I stared at her and almost opened my mouth to say something but was interuppted.

"Smile!" A girl said and flashed the camera in my face and I blinked in surprise.

"Wow..."

"Sorry, I needed a candid for the feature" She said "Angela"

"Ana" I smiled "And..uh you're not gonna use that photo right...?"

"Feature's dead Angela, don't bring it up again"

"Hey..I just-"

"I got your back baby" Eric said and patted my shoulder before walking off.

"I guess we'll just run another editorial on...teen drinking"

"What about something like eating disorders or...the swim team?" I asked with a smile as I bit into the apple. Oh my god it was so good...

"Actually that's a good one-"

"kirk" Angela and Jessica said at the same time.

"Right? That's exactly what I thought" Jessica said.

"We're talking "olympic-size"

It was then that I noticed them, wow...they looked amazing...almost perfect. I furrowed my brows but pretended to be looking at something else.

"Who are they?" I whispered.

The two girls turned their heads to look. "The Cullens" Angela said.

"They're um...Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids. They moved down here from Alaska like, a few years ago" Jessica said.

"They kinda keep to themselves" Angela said. See...I like you Angela.

"Uh, the blonde girl, that's Rosalie and the big dark haired guy, Emmett, they're like a thing. I'm not even sure that's legal" Jessica said.

"Jess they're not actually related"

"yeah but they live together. It's weird and -okay the little dark haired girl's Alice..." The blonde spun her around, aww how sweet. She was so small and cute looking, I wanted to hug her and never let go. "Sh'es really weird and um, she's with Jasper, the blonde one who looks like he's in pain" They passed us...he looked fine to me. "Uh..Dr Cullen's like this foster...dad slash match maker"

"Maybe he'll adopt me" Angela said dreamily.

I stared at the last one to walk in and if I could've died right there and then, I probably would've.

"And him?" I whispered.

"That's Edward Cullen. He's totally gorgeous obviously, But nobody here's good enough for him" I seen a slow smile appear on his face as he walked past as if he knew what we were talking about. "Like I care, you know, uh. So yeah" I turned my head slightly seeing him sitting with the rest of them "Seriously right, don't waste you're time"

I turned to look at her and scoffed "Trust me, I don't plan to"

Mike and I walked into Biology..seriously Dad..who the hell even wants to take Biology anymore.

"Mr Molina"

"Hey Mike. Oh yes, Miss Collins" Mr. Molina said, my eyes darted around the unfimilar room and then landed on the boy named Edward. His eyes widened slightly and his nose wrinkled and I looked away from him, but noticed him from the corner of my eye putting his hand to his nose...as if I smelled or something. Seriously? "Hi. The pass? Thank you. Your'e in your class here, here's your stuff okay? And uh..I got a seat for you right there, so come on, the last one"

I looked to the empty seat and almost died "You have to be kidding me" I grumbled and moved to the seat and dropped my bag with a huff. I sat on the chair, and covered the side of my face with my hair so I didn't need to look at him.

"All right guys. Today we're gonna be observing the behaviour of planaria, a.k.a flatworms" Gross.

Edward pushed the glass over to me and moved his hand away from his face, if I didn't know any better I would've slapped his jaw. It couldn't be me...I mean I had a shower right before I left this morning...my hair was still practically wet. I took a strand as if playing with it and smelled it, nope. It smelled like lemon. I made a face and looked at him, noticing his eyes were a coal black colour and he stared right back at me and honestly it looked as if he wasn't breathing.

I rolled my eyes and looked back to the front of class.

As the bell rang, he was up and out of the classroom, I stared after the empty space and furrowed my brows. What a dick.

"so where to next?" Mike asked with a grin.

"I need to go do this thing at the front office..." I said with a scowl.

"Oh..well I'll see you later"

"Yeah.." I nodded and went to the office and as soon as I walked in, Edward was there and his back tensed.

"I'll be with you in a moment dear"

"No problem" I said folding my arms after fixing my bag.
"I'm afraid you'll have to stay in biology" She said and I frowned. Was this douche serious?

"All right. Just...just have to endure it" He grumbled and pushed out past me.

My dad and I walked into the little cafe and he began talking to the woman named Cora.

"I just can't get over how grown up you are Ana" She smiled and I grinned "Your momma and I were best friend's in school" I smiled "You're so beautiful"

"Oh please" I scoffed.

"You're daddy's grown up well" She said eyeing him and I snorted.

"Are you kidding me?" I laughed.

My dad slapped the back of my head and I laughed.

"You shouldn't be hittin' your kid there John, ma man" A guy said.

"Waylon..how's it going?" My dad asked. Waylon.

"You remember me?" he asked me and I furrowed my brows.

"She's not gonna remember you Waylon. She hasn't been here since she was two" My dad said and I smiled.

"All right. Let the girl eat her cheese burger Waylon. As soon as you're done, I'll bring the chocolate fudge" She said "You're mom said you used to love it"

"I still do" I grinned "Can't get through the week without chocolate fudge"

She laughed and the two moved away from the table that we'd sitten at.

Later

I was on the phone to my sister "How's it going?" She asked.

"Uh..it's good so far" I said.

"You don't sound so sure about that Annie"

"Yeah...it's fine..they've been welcoming so far" All but one.

"You sure?"

"Positive..."

"Hey, so Aiden and I might come for a visit soon"

"What about Daniel?" I asked.

"Oh pfff" She scoffed "Work"

"You had another argument?"

"Possibly" She giggled on the other side.

"You're such a child" I said.

"Oh I know. Oh.." The sound of crying almost burst my eardrums "You gonna say hello to Aunty Annie?"

The crying wouldn't stop "I'll let you go okay? I'll call you tomorrow"

"Okay" She said "I love you"

"Love you too Kim"

I hung up and put the phone on the bedside table, I sat back on the bed with a huff and hugged my knees to my chest, and stared down at my ring. My mother had given it to me for my thirteenth birthday. What was Edward Cullen's problem? He might need some sort of reality check.

I'd be more than happy to give him one...

I hope you guy's enjoyed the first chapter...I really enjoyed writing it.

Ana I imagine to look like Nina Dobrev ( I just love her..she's amazing and beautiful!)

So let me know if I should continue, and if you like it. It will basically follow the book, though my Character will be completely different from Bella...I wanted to write a character who was a bit of a challenge and stubborn and a bit of an oddball...

Anyway, let me know what you think, I hope you enjoyed. Until Next time :)
