Hey. This is my new story. I hope people enjoy this as much as they like my first story, Ten Years Is Hard To Forgive And Forget. This is totally different to Ten Years, but as all my stories will ever be, is an Edward and Bella story. It's just the way I am. I could never write a love story about Bella and Jacob. Fir me, Bella and Edward are meant to be, and I just can't bring myself to write anything else! I'm sorry to Jacob lovers. Especially in this story. You will see why later on! LOL! Anyway, enjoy darlings!!

B POV
My name's Bella Swan. Actually, it's Isabella, but I hate people calling me that. I'm 17 years old and live in a town called Forks. I hate it here. It's always raining and there's pretty much nothing to do. I long to travel the world. As soon as I finish school, I want to travel. Not go to college like my parents want me to. I want to go to Africa or India and help the people less well off than me. See, my parents are pretty rich. But that's not enough to make me popular at school. It was at first, but I hate fake people, and all of those that are part of the 'in crowd' at Forks High are all just that. Fake. They think they are better than everyone else, but they are not. All they care about is themselves and having the latest fashion or gadget or the fastest car. I have never understood how they can live that way. How they can watch or read the news and then bare to look at themselves in the mirror.
I have no friends. I'm just the weird little rich girl who is a vegetarian, a Buddhist and wears ethical, fair-trade clothes. I don't care about any of them. They are fake, mean, uncaring, heartless morons. Although I have no friends, I know everyone in town, and they are all the same. I can't bare it. Most of the kids weren't even born to money. Their parents just won the lottery, or got lucky with shares or some shit. I come from old money, not that it means much to me. Being a Buddhist, I don't believe in material things. Don't get me wrong, I don't not own anything and I don't go without, I love music and buying CD's, I drive a good car, I have what I consider to be nice clothes, I just don't think material things are the most important things in the world. I'd rather help people. To me morals, ethics and compassion for fellow humans are the most important things.
My parents hate the way I am. Especially my mother. They think I don't act appropriately for someone who comes from old money. They think that this fact puts them above others in town. And people act as though it's true!
And the kids at school! They are all just fake, fake, fake. The worst of the lot are the Cullen's and their little crowd. Urgh. They disgust me. Emmett Cullen is big, rude and dumb. His girlfriend, Rosalie Hale is just a total bitch. Alice Cullen is a complete freak. Her boyfriend Jasper Hale (Rosalie's brother) is just so cold. He never shows any kind of emotion. And Edward Cullen? Well, he looks like a god, has a great body, the most incredible hair and eyes, and is a complete arsehole. All the girls throw themselves at him, and I figure that he's slept with pretty much the entire female population of the school, with the exception of his sister and Rosalie. He acts like he is king of the school and everyone follows what he says or does. It's pathetic. As gorgeous as he may be, he is only a boy. And a nasty, manipulative, foul one at that.
What do I want in a guy? Hmmm. Someone who is intelligent, romantic, kind, musical, quiet, compassionate, ethical, moral and respectful. I know, it's a lot to ask for, and I'm defiantly not going to ever find that in Forks.
Oh well. I only had one more year left of school and them I could go and live my life how I wanted. Not how people thought I should. All I had to do was survive one more year of school. Of being an outcast. Of being tormented by the Cullen's and the rest of the 'in crowd'. God I hated it here. And I hated every last one of the inhabitants of Forks. And that was something that would never change.
