Chapter One - First Day
EPOV
So here I was, starting yet another dreadful year of school at Forks High. It's my Senior year, and even the thought of running that place didn't get me as enthusiastic as it had in the past years. Nothing, from the pick of any girl there to the status and respect students had for me and my family, nothing at all interested me in the slightest. How could such a feeling of power become mundane to me. Something had to change in order for this to, in the very least, be tolerable for another year.
"Edward, five minutes. Get your ass to the car or I leave you!" Alice called from the bottom of the stairs.
"You're delusional if you think you'll leave without me in my car." I yelled back from my bedroom door.
I quickly grabbed a jacket and flew downstairs to find no one in sight. I heard the horn from my car and knew she was waiting for me, the impatient child. Emmet and Rosalie had gone off to collage somewhere on the east coast. Meanwhile Carlisle and Esme had moved North, to Canada, leaving just Alice and myself alone this school year. Well, other than Jasper's constant company.
Once I had gotten to the drivers side door I found Alice sitting, all buckled up with some horrid pop music playing. She had the doors locked and the car running, and at that point the idea of her taking off seemed like a possibility. I knocked on the window and she rolled it down just slightly.
"No and No." I said sternly, pointing at her then my radio. Indicating my distaste for her driving my car or playing that music. She rolled her eyes, unlocked the doors and climbed into the passenger seat. Once I had gotten in the car, I immediately turned down the volume on the radio and drove off, heading to Jasper's house first and then to school.

"Jake, get up! You're not gonna be late on your first day." My dad pounded on my bedroom door.
"Ok ok ok, I'm up." I mumbled.
First day back to school. I was excited, though it may not have been obvious since I refused to get up until the last few minutes possible. I was a Junior now and I knew this year was gonna be different. I could feel it, something had to change, even if I had to change it myself. One thing I knew was that prick Edward Cullen had another thing coming if he thought he was gonna give me a hard time this year too. I wasn't little Jakey anymore and I wasn't gonna be putting up with his arrogant ways.
I quickly got up and threw on some jeans and a gray shirt while running to the bathroom mid process. It took me all of a minute to brush my teeth and spike my hair, since I had all but shaved it about two weeks ago. I saw the alarm clock read eight till, and ran from my room mumbling "dammit, dammit, dammit." under my breath. Late as usual, I'll have to fly to get to school on time.
"See ya later Dad." I said while putting my shoes on and hopping towards the front door.
"Behave." Billy shouted from the kitchen as I hopped straight out the front door and to my car.
By the time I had gotten into my car, turned it on and looked at the time it was four till eight now. I was gonna be late, no matter how fast I drove I just couldn't cut a 15 minute drive down to less than five.

I pulled into the schools parking lot to which we instantly had an audience. While Alice seemed to relish in the attention, I could tell that Jasper and I were on about the same page, that this wasn't as pleasant for us. I could hear a few groups of girls start to whisper once I got out of the car and I rolled my eyes. Quickly I put a pair of sunglasses on to hide the many more eye rolls I'd likely make on my way to class. Alice grabbed Jasper by the hand and all but dragged him towards the front doors. He turned back my way and mouthed the words 'save me' and I couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"You have English first Edward." She yelled back at me.
"Okay, science. Got it." I sarcastically answered back.
"Not today Edward." She stopped mid step and turned back, throwing Jasper off and barked at me.
Boy, she sure does get feisty on the first day of school. Taking a deep breath, I laid back against my car door and watched waves of kids pile inside. Just as I was about to make my way in as well, I heard a car squeal around the corner and screech to a stop on the other side of the parking lot. I all but laughed out loud at the whole sight. Then I saw him, Jacob Black practically falling out of that disaster he called a car and head to class, and I just couldn't help myself.
"Hey Jakey boy, you ready for round two of last year?" I yelled from across the lot.
"Fuck off Cullen." He spat back.
"Love you too." I sarcastically shot back, to which I got a middle finger from Jacob.
I laughed, feeling a hundred times better and made my way to English once I saw that Jacob was inside. The halls were actually quiet, most everyone was already in their class. I guess I had to always make a strong first impression. Alice would kill me, first day of school and I had to be fashionably late. I knew where Mr. Berty's class was since I had him as my English teacher the last few years. I just couldn't help but give my teachers a hard time, I had a severe problem with authority. I came up to the open doorway and knocked twice, and again all eyes were on me.
"Ahh, Mr. Cullen. Nice of you to grace us with your presence." He looked up at me and complained.
"Well, I figured someone of importance had to come and pretend they care about what your teaching." The entire room gasped in response to my sarcasm.
"Sit down before I send you on your way Edward." He used my first name, he must not be in a good mood.
"Touche'." I said while making my way towards the back and to the only empty seat. Jacob was sitting two rows from the front, completely ignoring me.
"Douche." I said under my breath as I walked past him an took a seat.
Mr. Berty continued on his overview of what would be considered almost common knowledge to most. I'm sure a 3rd grader could name several plays by Shakespeare. It's as if the teachers thought that over summer break our brains had spontaneously combusted and now sitting before them was a group of robots which had to be re-programed. After he had asked for students to give a play, Lauren raised her hand and said 'Romeo and Juliette'.
"Of course." I meant to say quietly
"Edward, why don't you give us a play."
"I could tell you them all if you'd like. Where should I start? I'll just start with the tragedies, besides 'Romeo and Juliette' which Lauren here so wisely pointed out already, there's Othello and Coriolanus, King Lear." I started to list, prepared to say every single play, but was cut off.
"Save some for the rest of the students." Mr. Berty interrupted me.
"I feel a Hamlet coming on." I teased.
"Enough. And take off those glasses Edward." He told me in a voice which almost sounded stern enough for me to care.
"Okay, you next." He pointed to a kid sitting a few rows over.
"Macbeth." The kid replied back.
"That's some kiddie shit." I again attempted to say under my breath but wasn't successful.
"Okay I've heard enough out of you Edward, get out. Go to the office and explain to them about you're inability to keep your thoughts to yourself."
I got up from my seat and made my way out of the class, making sure to give Jakey boy a proper fair well when I walked past.
"See ya tomorrow Mr. Berty." I said while putting my sunglasses back on and exiting the room.

"Dick." He mumbled again on his way past my seat.
I swear we'll have problems if he keeps it up. I'm not playing anymore, the games are getting old. I thought, all while trying to keep my mouth shut. What is he so bitter about to have the whole world on his shit list. My mood was heading south fast when I saw a girl walk into the class and hand Mr. Berty a note. He pointed her to Edwards now empty seat and she made her way towards it.
"Class, this is Isabella Swan. You're lucky to have just missed the show." He told her referring to Edward's behavior.
"What show." she quietly asked.
"I'm sure there will be a sequel in the near future." I turned around to face her and explain, and she just smiled back.
I'm thinking the first day may have just gotten better.
