Remedy…

Chapter 1 – First sight…

I just moved to forks that summer. People expect me to look like typical person from phoenix but to be honest i have never fit in there. I just hoped that i would fit in here and not stand out. It was bad enough that i was just starting school and being the new kids was not going to be fun! I was very clumsy and always seemed to mess up when it came to being in front of people.

But Renée had decided to be with Phil and they wanted to go on the road and I thought it best to give them some space and move in with Charlie, though I would never call him Charlie to his face it was always dad. I don't like the cold and it wasn't good for me. But I had to take it like a man and endure the cold wet weather and forget how much I would miss the sun.

Charlie came to pick me up at the airport our drive home was kind of awkward we barely spoke when we got to the house he gave me the keys to my new Chevy it was old but you know it was good for a me! I was going to need some serious sleep if I was going to live through tomorrow's dreaded first day at forks high school.

I barely slept at all; the rain and the wind kept me up all night. And when I finally fell asleep it was so early that I woke up tired and in a bad mood. I got dressed and got in the new-to-me car Charlie had provided for me.

When I got to school people stared but it was expected. I went to pick up my time table at the main office. The lady greeted me all nicely.

"Hello what can I help you with?" she said in a helpful tone.

"Hello I am Edward Cullen" I said

"ohhh… yes I have your time tables right here and here is your map..." she said passing it under the glass "have the teachers sign this paper when you enter the class and return it here at the end of the day and don't forget to have a nice day!" she said with a smile across her face.

I looked at my time table it said first lesson was in building six, gym oh great and I haven't got my gym kit with me! I walked into see the teacher and get my slip signed

"Oh Edward do you have your kit or do you need to borrow some for today?" My gym teacher said as he past me the slip back.

"Could I borrow some sir" I replied and he passed me some old gym kit that smelled a little like pee I wouldn't be surprised the teacher was a bit menacing, yep I definitely think I am going to have to get my gym kit sorted out!

Gym was a horrible I tripped up a lot to my dismay I pulled people with me. I was never good at sports I was always the one picked last in phoenix.

When I walked into Spanish I realised all eyes were on me I walked up to the teacher and gave him my slip.

"Ahh… Edward yes here is you book and there's your seat" he said as he pointed to a seat way at the back next to a nice looking girl that smiled at me as the teacher pointed over to her.

"Thanks sir" I said as I walked to my seat I noticed that a lot off girls were looking at me with a weird expression. I avoided looking at them it just made me uncomfortable.

"Hello my names Angela Webber… you must be Edward!" The nice looking girl said as I sat down.

"Yes… nice to meet you Angela, how did you know my name?" I said in my most kind voice clearly it had taken a lot of courage to speak to the new kid.

"Ohhh I think everyone knows your name!" she said as sir settled the class.

Of cause I would be the talk of town I mean who wouldn't gossip about Charlie's long lost son from his divorced run away wife to be reunited with him once again.

When the bell rang Angela turned to me and said "Hey would you like to come and sit with us at lunch? I am sure Jess would love to meet you! I mean I can completely understand if you have other plans…" she said getting a bit nervous with my silence.

"Of cause if that's okay?" I said to ease her nervousness.

"Cool!" she said as she took my hand and led me to the cafeteria. I had a bad feeling about this gesture and felt uncomfortable. However I guess it was just me over analysing the situation again she might just be trying to help me.

As was going to sit with Angela's friends that's when I noticed her. She was sitting with a group of friends. I looked over as I sat down. She was so beautiful it struck me that she was so very out of my league but I carried on staring any way she was so gorgeous I couldn't manage to take my eyes of her. I sat there staring for a straight 5 minutes before Angela snapped me out of it.

"What are you looking at?" she following my gaze across the cafeteria to her. Suddenly the girl looked across at angela then at me she looked as if someone had just called her name. I looked down acting like nothing had just happened.

"Who is that? Do you know?" I asked Angela maybe she could give my some details. She was an easy person and no doubt she knew almost everyone in the school.

"Who Bella Swan?" she whispered in my ear.

"I don't know," I said as I raised my head to look once more. And to my embarrassment she was staring at me her expression puzzled. "The girl that is staring at me, over there" I said lowering my gaze yet again.

"Yeah that's Bella Swan, one of the doctors adopted daughters she just moved down here from Alaska a couple years ago with her adopted siblings, Carlisle is way too young to have children, you see the people she's sitting with?"

"Yeah" I said

"Well... the blonde girl is Rosalie hale, the blonde boy is jasper hale ,there brother and sister, and the dark haired muscular one is Emmett Swan and Alice Swan is the thin spiky haired one and then then there's Bella she's the odd one out. All the rest are couples, Jasper and Alice, Emmett and Rosalie… don't you think that's weird?" she said. I guessed that this had obviously been the talk of the town.

As I looked I could see the slight resemblance it must be because there all from Alaska because they all were very pale almost clear white it's weird that I never noticed before.

"I guess, but it's not like there related!" I said. Trying to reason with her it wasn't nice to be talked about and I know that feeling.

"Yeah… But they live together!" she said.

And then the bell rang that meant it was biology.

I walked to lesson as I thought of the beautiful girl and her adopted siblings. I walked in and gave sir my slip and he sent me to go sit by Bella. To my extreme embarrassment I nocked some books off the table and bent down to pick them up it looked like someone was going to help me Bella I think and then decided it was a bad Idea. When I stood up and placed the books back on the table and turned from my char I noticed Bella had moved to the furthest side of the table.

I took my seat got my pen out. All lesson I had the strangest feeling someone was staring at me but I let it go thinking it was just me being self-conscious and that's when noticed Bella's hand was clenched into a tight fist as if she was about to hit me. I looked up from her hand to notice she was staring at me looking as though she was about to explode with anger. And then the bell went and she stood up grabbed her things and waltzed out of the room with extreme grace.

I stood up collecting my things. Turned to leave and there suddenly out of no were a girl was standing there . I was so startled, I jumped back a little. Where the hell did she come from?

"Hey my names Jess you must be Edward we never got to talk at lunch I am one of Angela's friends.." she said smiling gently.

"Hey." Was all I could muster. I was just so struck by Bella's behaviour i went in to a little trance. Why had she behaved like that?

As the rest of the day ended I noticed girls acted differently. I was sure girls in phoenix never acted like this towards me before I guess they saw me go through my awkward stages and they never gave me two looks now but here it seemed like every girl looked at me like a new toy.

When Charlie got home he made us some bacon on toast. We ate in silence it was better that way.

"So... how was school?" Charlie asked.

"Fine" I said avoiding his eyes.

"Made any friends?" the way he said that it made it seem like he was talking to an insecure teenage girl who doesn't make friends easy.

"Yeah there's this girl called Angela she was nice and then there's jess!" I said acting like there was a load of people I met. When in fact I was so messed up about this one girl that swirled around my head, I couldn't not think about her she was in every thought, ever since I saw her in the cafeteria.

"Angela Webber and Jessica Stanley?" he asked no doubt he knew there family and thought I was a bit gay, Having told him my first friends were girls.

"Yeah, she sits by me in Spanish and jess is in my biology class" I said still staring at my plate as I finished and took my plate to the sink.

"Dad I am going to bed I'll see you tomorrow" I said as I yawned and walked toward the stairs.

"Night" He said.

That nigh was the first night I dreamed about Bella Swan.
