Twilight: Roles reversed

Summary:

At some point, we've all presented ourselves with the question: 'What if the roles were reversed? What if Bella was the vampire, and Edward was the human?'

Well, there's only one way to find out.

A/N: I know that this story has been done a lot of times, but I wanted to give this a go.

Chapter 1

"What do you think they're gonna be like?" Mike asked me, grinning.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. "How am I supposed to know?"

Collin laughed. "Dude, chill. It's the first time something interesting's happened in this school for months- let him be excited about it."

"Kinda annoying when it's all everyone will talk about. Everywhere I go it's: 'Have you heard about the new kids coming in today?' 'Apparently there's 5 of them' 'I hope I get some classes with them'." I complained as we walked through the school gates.

"I bet the girls are gonna be hot!" Mike nodded excitedly. Of course that's where his mind would be.

"What about Jessica?" Ben asked with his eyebrows raised.

"What about her?" He asked back cluelessly.

In general, I'd agree that boys weren't the best at catching signals. But Mike was seriously thick- Jessica had been throwing herself at him since the second grade.

We approached the girls, Eric and Tyler. They were staring at something- trying to be discreet but failing.

"What you guys looking at?" I asked casually.

"Shut up!" Jessica hissed and shoved me out of her vision.

I kissed my teeth and turned in the direction they were facing. Opposite us was a glossy red BMW M3 convertible, a wrangler-style jeep and a Harley Sprint.

I let out a low whistle- these guys must be loaded.

A big, burly dude jumped out of the open roof of his jeep and landed onto the gravel without taking a step. Overdramatic entrance much? He was followed by a more slender looking blonde guy- he was a couple of inches shorter and looked slightly older. His face was pinched up uncomfortably- almost as if he were in pain.

A little, brown haired, pixie-like girl hopped out of the BMW's passenger seat. She wore an impish grin and instantly skipped over to hold hands with the blonde dude. Odd.

"She's cute." I heard Jessica mutter bitterly. I sniggered and shared a look with Angela, who was trying not to laugh herself.

The second girl to step out of the car was a tall blonde. She had a perfect hourglass figure and wore a tight shirt and skinny jeans to show it off. Her hair was silky, shiny and long.

"Damn."

"I would smash that."

"Totally hot."

Were the responses Eric, Tyler and Mike gave. Even Ben, of all people, nodded in agreement. I could see everyone's gaze linger on her more than the rest, and I had to admit- she was gorgeous.

She strutted over to the big muscly guy from before, and everyone diverted their eyes as he stared people down in an almost threatening manner.

All of their faces were painfully beautiful and completely unflawed- it seemed almost unnatural. They were deathly pale, and though it was hard to tell from such a distance, the bottom of their eyes seemed to be rimed with deep, purple circles.

The four of them turned around to face the last girl, who was climbing off the bike- apparently she hadn't deigned to wear a helmet. Her thick, dark hair was tousled by the wind. She scanned the parking-lot with a bored, somewhat exasperated look on her face. She wore a leather jacket, a plain tank top, distressed jeans and worn-out converse- a look of an average teenage girl, right? But something told me that she wasn't just your average teenager- perhaps even more so than the others.

The last girl was clearly the most attractive. She wasn't trying too hard like the busty blonde one obviously was, but she didn't look as though she was 13, like the tiny brunette did. She was tall and lean, but not lanky. She was of average height- perhaps 5"6, maybe shorter. She had subtle curves in all the right places.

She was stunning, and it looked like she knew it- but wasn't particularly happy about it.

Mike wolf whistled, and this time I couldn't help but nod my head in agreement.

The five of them walked into the office to collect their timetables, and I could see everyone turn back to their little cliques and start gossiping.

I decided to save myself from all the annoying chatter, and headed off to English.

Lunch

I put my tray down on the table in the middle of the cafeteria and sat down between Tyler and Lauren. They were both staring at the table in the far corner, and I soon found out why. Almost everyone was ogling the Cullen's, and though it was irritating, I understood why.

Jessica read my expression and giggled. "Aw, is Eddie upset that the attention isn't focused on him anymore?"

I scowled at her. "For the love of God, Jess. Do not call me that. And it's a more of a relief, by the way."

I was captain of the football team and the basketball team. I was last year's prom king, and I'm a nominee for this year. It would be stupid not to admit that I was a pretty popular kid at Forks High, and I'd had my fair share of attention.

Jessica snickered. "Whatever you say, Eddie boy."

"I had History with Alice. The little one." Eric said as he sat down, not bothering to greet us first. "I've got alllllll the tea."

Everyone leaned in to listen, including me.

"The one she was holding hands with earlier, that's Jasper Hale. Her boyfriend." Eric paused for dramatic effect, and I rolled my eyes. Jessica and Lauren's mouths fell open, and I could practically see their minds working to create some twisted story out of the information.

"Is that even legal?" Asked Tyler with a mouth full of pizza.

"The thing is, they're not actually related." Eric continued. "All of them are adopted. Jasper and Rosalie Hale (the hot blonde) are twins- Mrs Cullen's Nephew and Niece. The one who looks like he's on heavy steroids is Emmet, and the brunette with the motorbike is Bella. They're siblings, along with Alice. She didn't tell me for sure, but I'm pretty sure Rosalie and Emmet are a thing too."

"Well dang. That leaves Bella as the only single one." Tyler commented.

"I'll take her." Mike said quickly, and Jessica shot him a glare.

"Hell no. I call dibs!" Tyler said smugly.

Mike shoved Tyler's chair out from beneath him, which would've been funny if he hadn't pulled me down with him. I wasn't even that pissed until Lauren faked a fall on top of me, leaving me squirming away uncomfortably.

"Oooooh." Eric chanted, eyeing the two of us.

"Ew." I muttered under my breath, standing up quickly and brushing myself off as best I could.

"If you call dibs, fair enough. But it only lasts for a day. So you better go and ask her out now, before it gets too late." Mike negotiated, wiggling his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes. As if either of those pervs could ever score a date with any sane girl, let alone Bella.

"Now?" Tyler asked in a whiny tone, eyeing the boys sitting on either side of her.

"Pussy." Mike laughed.

"As if you'd do it either, Mike." Eric chipped in, shaking his head mockingly.

"Yeah, Mike." Tyler said.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Angela and Ben watching the whole scene amusedly.

"Course I would, but you dibsed her already. Can't break the code, dude."

"Fine then. I officially retract my dibs. You are free to ask her out."

That seemed to shut Mike up.

I rolled my eyes, grabbed my lunch and stood up. "You're both idiots."

I sauntered over to the back of the cafeteria, towards the table that the Cullen's were sitting at. I grabbed the spare seat and sat down casually- though I was kinda nervous- and set my lunch down. The five of them stared at me incredulously- I smiled and nodded at them in greeting.

"You gonna eat that?" I asked the guy on steroids, pointing to the fries he hadn't touched. When he didn't respond, I grabbed a handful and stuffed them in my mouth. Honestly, what was he gonna do? I was being perfectly polite, and it's not like he was about to start throwing punches with the whole student body staring at us.

When I had finished eating, I got the nerve to look up at Bella. She was staring at me like the rest of them were, but in a less unnerving way. She had a small smirk on her face, and looked amused yet fascinated at the same time.

"Can we help you?"

I took me a while before I was able to respond. The sound of her voice was smooth, soft and alluring.

"So my friends are too scared to ask you out, but is there a possibility that you'd ever say yes to either of them?" I pointed towards Tyler and Mike, and I saw Bella scrunch her face up. I didn't blame her.

"I think I'll pass."

As she spoke to me, her scent became more evident and I had to stop myself from looking like a creep and sniffing her neck. Her smell seemed to call to me in a way that I couldn't describe.

Up close, Bella's beauty was even more mesmeric. The shape of her every feature, to the sparkle in her stunning topaz eyes, to the blush of her perfectly rounded lips made me want more of her- in whatever way possible.

Jesus Christ, I was seriously starting to sound like crappy romance novel.

Bella cleared her throat lightly and shifted on her seat, making me realise that I had been staring.

I stood up and tucked in my chair. "I'll let 'em down easy." I threw her a wink- a long shot, I know. But worth the shot, all the same.

I turned around before I was able to catch her reaction, and strolled back to my original table, where all my friends were gaping at me.

"She said she'll pass. Not shocking news, if you ask me." I slung my bag over my shoulder, and made it to biology just in time for the bell.
