"I don't think so Mrs Cope" I mumbled. This was the second time I'd been sent to the office… this lesson.
"Oh, Isabella, why do you have to be so difficult?" She muttered while searching through some files. Oh, if only she knew.
"It's Bella" I said, emphasizing the word so that the woman would understand.
"Why did your father get such a horrid daughter?" she asked me and I rolled my eyes.
"He's just lucky I guess" I said sarcastically.

You see, my father is the police chief and I am his daughter who gets a detention every hour. I've only been arrested five times but it's enough to drive him insane.
"Isabella hello?" I snapped out of my reverie because a hand was waving in front of my face.
"Rude cow" I mumbled and followed her into the principals office.
"Bella, didn't I just see you twenty minutes ago?" Mr Greene asked and I smirked.
"I missed you sir. I like this office" I mumbled sarcastically. Mr. Greene sighed and motioned for me to sit down and I noticed that Mrs. Cope was still at the door.
"You need something Copey?" I asked her condescendingly. She huffed and stormed off after slamming the door shut. I turned back to the principal to see he was giving me a sceptical look.
"What did you do this time?" he asked wearily. I threw my hands in the air.
"I swear to god, Tanya hit her own face with my book" I said in my 'innocent voice'.
"Why?" was all he said and I rolled my eyes.
"She mentioned my mum" I whispered as my lip quivered.

Only Mr. Greene knows what happened with my mother besides me and my dad.
"What did she say Bella?" he asked, taking on a softer tone. Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes and spilled over.
"She called her a slut" I whispered. It hurt to talk about my mother seeing as everything still felt new.
"Why did she do that Bella?" he asked gently and my lip trembled ferociously.
"She thinks I'm a slut so she believes I learnt it from Mum" I whimpered. He sighed dramatically. He pressed the button on his office phone and spoke close to the speaker.
"Mrs. Cope, can you please find Tanya Denali and bring her to my office immediately" he said and my heart snapped up.
"No, I cant be in the same room as her. She can't know about my mother. No one can" I whispered and he nodded. He told me I could go home for the rest of the day seeing as I wasn't 'in the right frame of mind' for school today. I nodded and made my way out to the car park. I sat in my car for a full twenty minutes before I popped the keys into the ignition. When I got home, I walked up the stairs and threw myself at my bed. I turned my head and felt the tears skim over my nose and into my other eye. I blinked and let a fresh torrent of tears splash over my skin. I looked at the last photo I had of my mum. She looked identical to me. No one except her and I knew why we looked like identical twins. It was a secret that had corrupted the women in our family for generations and none of the men ever found out. And we wanted to keep it that way.

Three hours later, I heard gravel turning up at the house next door. I made my way over to the window and saw a silver Volvo and a yellow Porsche. Rich people. I thought, disgusted. My Dad and I weren't poor but we didn't have wealth on our side either. I saw a small girl get out of the Porsche. She had jet black hair that stuck out in organised disarray. I rolled my eyes and shut the blinds as well. Beautiful rich people I thought with venom in my head.
"Bella" I heard my dad call. I jumped with fright because I hadn't realised he was home. Had I fallen asleep?
"Yes?" I called back, sounding bored.
"Get down here right now" he said and he sounded angry. I shivered.
I slowly made my way down the stairs and I saw him fuming at the bottom.
"Hey Daddy" I said, feigning happiness and obliviousness.
"Don't Hey Daddy me Isabella Swan. Would you care to explain why Richard Denali came to the station today with his daughter, demanding you pay for the make up she is going to need to cover her broken nose?" he asked and I gulped.
"I'm good" I said, deciding to go with my usual easy breezy attitude. I started to walk back up the stairs when I was yanked back by the wrist.
"Bella" he growled and I sighed.
"She called my mother a slut" I said with a breaking voice and then I ran out of the house. Leaving a stunned Charlie behind me. The tears were streaking down my face, smudging my make up even more. I got to the road and turned left. I was running passed the rich people's house when I collided with something.
"Ouch, god dam it" I hissed when I felt the pain in my arm.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry are you okay?" a musical voice asked. I looked up to see the pixie like girl from before.
"I'm fine"' I hissed and got off the floor.
"Are you sure?" she asked; truly concerned.
"Yes, get off my case will you" I yelled and then I ran off again. I bolted straight into the forest and continued down the path.
"Emmett please?" I heard that girl's voice.
"Alice, I don't even know the girl and she wasn't exactly nice to you" I heard a booming voice, coming from the a boy, who I presumed was Emmett.
"She was crying Emmett and I think he arm is broken" I heard the pixie girl, Alice, say. I look down at my arm and sure enough, it looked bent.
"Fine" I heard him grumble and then I heard leaves rustling.
I sat down where I was; I'd given up.
"Hello?" I heard the booming voice I'd heard just a second before.
"Yes?" I whispered in a broken voice.
"My name is Emmett and my sister wanted me to come and find you" he said as if it were a chore.
"She shouldn't have" I grumbled sarcastically.
"Why are you so rude?" he asked angrily and I stared at him, my mouth agape.
"Because I can be" I said stubbornly.
"But why?" he asked and then I realised I was crying again. He walked over to me and sat n a near by log. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Bella" I answered, looking down.
"Well Bella, my father is a doctor and I want him to look at your arm" he said and I nodded weakly. He came over to help me up and I brushed myself off.
"Thanks" I muttered and he grinned at me. It was astounding how innocent and childlike he looked when he smiled. We walked back up to his house and he opened the door for me.

"There we go Bella, all finished" Dr. Cullen said when he finished putting the cast on my arm. I looked out the window and saw how dark it was.
"Thanks Doctor Cullen but I really better be going" I said.
"Would you and your father like to come over for dinner tomorrow night?" he asked and I shrugged.
"I'll tell Alice or Emmett tomorrow" I suggested and he nodded. "Thank you by the way" I mumbled and blushed furiously. As I walked down the stairs I heard a bitter dispute.
"No Edward, I want that one" I heard Alice's voice. Edward? Who's Edward?
"Alice, my rug is already down therefore my germs have created a castle, just like on Lord of the Rings" I heard a velvet voice argue. My breathing caught.
"Oh, You're such a dweeb Edward" I heard Alice huff and then I saw her storm out of the room two doors ahead of me.
"Oh, hi" she mumbled.
"Listen Alice, I'm sorry about before" I mumbled apologetically.
"It's okay" she said and then she hugged me. That wasn't the most shocking part.
"We're going to be best friends. I can feel it" she said and she sounded hyperactive. When she let go I was blushing and she giggled.
"Bye Alice" I mumbled and ran down the stairs. However, my toe caught on the last stair and as I awaited the impact, it never came.
"Don't want to break your face too do you?" Emmett mumbled and I poked my tongue at him. He chuckled and set me back on my feet.

I lay in my bed and stared at the ceiling. Charlie had been less than gracious in the hour that I'd come home but he'd graciously accepted Dr. Cullen's invitation. The weird thing was that I kept thinking about that velvet voice. The one that argued with Alice about Lord of the Rings. I chuckled to myself. I was being insane.

"Bella, time to wake up" I heard along with the pounding on my door. My sister Rose always did this to me.
"Rose, leave her alone" I heard Jasper and Dad say at the same time.
"She has to get up though. A girl called Alice is at the door and wanted to give her a ride" I heard and I fell out of bed. I ran to the door and saw Rose staring at me incredulously.
"What?" I asked rudely.
"Since when do you make friends?" Rose asked and I gave her the finger.
"About the same time as you got your first boob job" I hissed and walked to the bathroom.

I got ready in record timing. I always thought about how different Rose and Jasper were to me. I had the brown hair and eyes like Mum, but somehow, they both got Charlie's Blonde hair and Blue eyes. (Yes, Charlie looks different in this story).
"I'm going, bye" I said and walked out the door.
"Hey Bella" Alice greeted cheerfully as I got into her Porsche. Yes, her Porsche. The ride to school was silent and as we pulled up, I noticed everyone staring at the Porsche and a silver Volvo.
"Bella" Alice sighed once we'd gotten out of the car.
"Yes?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'd like you to meet my brother. This is Edward. Edward, this is Bella" I looked up and saw the most beautiful thing in the world. Behind his glasses were the most amazing green eyes in the world. They stared with so much intensity that my breath caught. And then… I fainted.
