Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight.

Hey, as you can tell, I'm starting a new story(even though I don't really have the time). Here, Bella and Edward never met. This is also the first time the Cullens have been in Forks. Bella is an English teacher teaching seniors and juniors.

Sorry that this chapter is so short, the others will be longer, I promise!

Review to tell me if I should continue the story!

Chapter 1

Trouble maker

Today was my first day teaching at Fork's High school and I couldn't be more excited. I'd be teaching a bunch of juniors and seniors about the wonderful English language. English has always been my favorite subject, but since I've always been the odd one, so I was prepared to have numerous students sleeping at their desks.

I parked my used Ford Tarus and headed towards the school doors; I walked inside the school and to my classroom. I let out a sigh of relief. I loved the feel that this school had to it. No one was nervous on their first day back, not even the incoming freshmen, and apparently their calmness was rubbing off on me. Everyone here knew each other since they were toddlers, or so I've heard from the other staff members. The entire staff greeted me warmly. They knew what I had gone through and shared my suffering.

The warning bell rang to shake me back into reality before memories had the chance to flood me. I sat at my desk and waited for my first class of seniors to file in. I didn't pay much attention to them as they sat at random seats, waiting for me to give them assigned seats. Another bell rang, signaling me to start class.

"Hello class, my name is Miss Swan." I greeted them. "As you can tell, I'm new here and haven't had time to devise a seating chart, so you are free to sit wherever you like for now." The class cheered and erupted into chatter. "Settle down now." I ordered the class.

"Anything for you, Miss." I heard one of the bots say in a husky voice. The class snickered and the girl sitting next to him slapped his arm. I decided to leave his punishment at that.

"Now, we are going to start with the basics and then quickly move onto reading novels." The same boy snored and then the entire class began to laugh with the exception of two students. Two exceptionally good students they were. They looked like the kind of teenagers that everyone envied and drooled over. Their skin was alabaster white; they had perfect posture, and golden eyes. The boy had short brown hair; while the girl had flowing blonde curls. I turned my vision from them and towards the rude boy. "And what is your name?" I asked him.

"Joe." He replied.

"Joe who?" I asked.

"Salmons."

"Well, Joe Salmons. I hope you're not doing anything this afternoon because you'll be spending it in detention."

"What!" He detested the idea of detention the first day of school, as would most teens.

"I'm sorry, but I will not tolerate that kind of behavior."I filled out a detention slip and handed one of the copies to him. He slouched in his seat and remained quiet for the rest of class, which wasn't very long. The period ended shortly after that, so I had time to rest. The school decided to be easy on me, at least for the first semester, so they only gave me three classes. I had one senior class and two advanced junior classes. When I reached the teacher's lounge, I grabbed a cup of coffee, sat down, and began to write.
