AN: I OWN NOTHING BUT PENNY AND SEBASTIAN. SM OWNS IT ALL. THIS IS MY TWIST ON THIS STORY

Prologue

I've never given much thought to the decisions I've made in the past three months that led me to this situation, though I'd had reason enough. If I had, I wouldn't have imagined it like this. My life eight months ago doesn't even compare to my life here in the last three months.

I stared without breathing across the room at the phone. It lay silent as ever as I wait for an important phone call. Surely waiting was driving me insane. The unknown is an unpleasant feeling not knowing whether my best friend and the love of my life are dead. I knew that if I had turned down her offer to move to Forks, I wouldn't be in this situation.

As terrified as I am, I can't bring myself to regret or doubt my decision. When life here in Forks offers you a love so pure and fulfilling beyond your expectations and wildest dreams. Here, I smiled, as I thought back over the last three months of my life, and to think I almost passed up this wonderful opportunity. I glanced back at the phone again and by a miracle it rang. I ran over to pick it up.

"Emmett"

"Penny"

AN: Sorry folks! I reread the final draft and noticed a couple of errors and a few other things I didn't like so I changed it. Next chapter shall be up within the next three days. Now without further adue. My final perfected first chapter. Enjoy ;p

1. First Glance

I stood next to my car as I waited for my best friend, Isabella "Bella" Swan to say goodbye to her mother, Renee for the millionth time. My name is Penelope Ortiz, but like Bella I prefer my nickname "Penny." It was 80 degrees in Phoenix, the sky was a perfect, cloudless blue for January. I was wearing a black, backless halter top and a pair of white jeans and black combat boots. Bella was wearing her favorite shirt, a sleeveless, white eyelet lace, blue jeans and her signature vans. I took the time to check my car to make sure everything was secured. I drive a Black 1965 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. It was a gift from Jonathan. He bought as a written request from my father. You see my parents were murdered 10 years ago by my father's mistress before she killed herself.

Now I was just 6 at the time and was told they died in a car crash. I learned the truth last year on my 16th birthday. "What a great gift? Never mind clothes or shoes. No, let's tell her that her parents were brutally murdered by her dad's psycho mistress. Thanks a lot Johnny." I snorted at that thought. Bella's been my friend since we were 3 and Renee decided to take me in. I was grateful because my parents family only cared about my trust fund. It sucks I know, but I've learned to cope with it. I managed to turn it into sarcasm and cynicism. At 16 I've developed a don't really give a flying fuck attitude. I'm 5'9 with thick long black and red hair. A body every woman would pay top dollar for curves in all the right places, green/hazel eye swirl color and a killer smile. We were driving to Forks, Washington to finish out the rest of our school year with her father, Police Chief Swan. Renee recently remarried, so we're leaving so the newlyweds can have their alone time. I don't mind going to Forks, it's Bella who detests it. We decided to drive because there was no way in hell I was going to leave my car in Phoenix. That was out of the fucking question. I saw Bella wave goodbye to her mom and get in the car. I waved one final time to Renee and Phil then hopped in and drove off.

"That took longer than expected"

"I know neither one of us is good with goodbyes," This made me snort a laugh. "Yeah I noticed that and Charlie already has us registered for school, by the way."

"Okay"

She looked out at the scenery as I drove on the freeway. I know Bella and she's just not an emotionally expressive person, just like Charlie. As I'm driving on the interstate listening to my favorite rock station I reminisced about this past summer. I didn't mind the move to Forks. It's constant cover of clouds and rain is a refreshing change to the blistering heat of Phoenix. I know for a fact, that my cinnamon skin tone will stand out. Forks, Washington is the rainiest town in the entire US. Renee left Forks and Charlie with Bella when she was only a few months old because according to her the rain was suffocating. I spent the last five summer, winter and spring breaks in Forks with Charlie. He's a really great guy, he reminds me of my own father of what I can remember of him.

Last summer I tried to teach Charlie how to cook and ended up blowing half his house away. This is one reason why I, a city girl, love small towns. The community is always so friendly, yes they're always in your business, but when a fellow townie is in need they come to the rescue. That's what happened with Charlie. The whole town got together and raised money and helped rebuild his house. It used to be a two bedroom, one bathroom house, now it has two bedrooms upstairs with a conjoined bathroom and the master bedroom and bath downstairs for him. That one was my idea. He gets so tired from work that he falls asleep on the couch so why not put a master bed/bath downstairs. At first he wasn't sure about the add-on until I told him Bella and I might be coming to live with him if Renee and Phil get any more serious. Now his house has been upgraded and completely modernized.

I look over at Bella as she's sleeping. There are times where I wonder how we managed to stay friends. I guess both of us having to grow up before it was time is one reason. Taking care of Renee, and the household until she met Phil, other than that we're polar opposite. I say whatever is on my mind and if you don't like it tough shit because I don't give a solid fuck. I'm bold, brass, confident. I'm crude, rude and loud. The truth about my parents death and the heartbreak I suffered two spring breaks ago has made me a bit put off with love and relationships. Growing up without my parents didn't help much either. I curse that bitch to the deepest pits of hell, for her stupidity and selfishness. There was a part of me, a very small, petite, tiny fragment that really couldn't blame her. It made me wonder how she was raised. Did she have someone to teach her that married men were off limits? Maybe, if someone had taught her married men were forbidden, my parents would be alive today. Well, then I wouldn't be moving to Forks with Bella. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Bella on the other hand is shy, timid, a bookworm who loves the classics. I do as well, but she'll read them over and over again. We both were in advanced placement programs. She lacks self confidence. She 5'4 and has gorgeous clear skin. Big brown doe eyes, beautiful mahogany hair and she's slender. She's a certified klutz and gets embarrassed easily. I don't know maybe because our personalities balance out, her shy one to my bold one. Maybe I'm just here to protect her and be her spiritual guide, whatever the reason I love her like a sister and wouldn't have it any other way. I need her and she needs me. I found out that my parents had already named Renee as my legal guardian, in their will. Johnny and his wife Ameilia wanted to take me in but for some odd reason my parents thought Renee would be a better choice. Johnny told me Ameilia was heartbroken and their son and daughter, Benji and Sydney would miss me. My parents also left me a trust fund that I can't have access to until I'm 21 along with another stipulation that I didn't quite understand, but Johnny, my trustee said in time I'll understand it. I hated that, the way he said it sounded highly suspicious but he wouldn't tell me more so I dropped it, for now.

We arrived in Forks at around 12 p.m. Thursday afternoon. "Wow, it only took a little over 24 hours to get here." I was exhausted and starving. I turned down Charlie's street and parked Jesse behind the cruiser. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I named my mustang Jesse. What? Don't judge. Charlie was standing outside when we pulled up. He helped unload Jesse and dropped off our bags in our respective rooms. Bella got the west bedroom that faced over the front yard. It had been her's since she was born. I got the east facing bedroom that faces the street. It was Charlie's until the remodel, now it was mine temporarily. One thing I love about Charlie is that he doesn't hover. He left us alone to unpack in peace. I glanced across the hall at my best friend just as she was wiping some fresh tears away. I knew why she's crying. She feels as if she'll never fit in here. I walked across the hall and sat down on her bed and hugged her. I noticed a desk with an old computer and an internet modem cable stapled along the floor to the nearest phone jack. A stipulation from Renee so they can keep in touch. I have my own laptop so that I can keep in touch with her myself along with Jonathan.

"Cheer up Bells, at least you know one person in school next week." She didn't respond just a slight nod. We were to start this coming Monday. It pains me to know that my best friends feels like she has to fit in. Forks High School had a mediocre three hundred and fifty-seven now fifty-nine students. There is at least seven hundred in our junior class back home.

"What if they don't like me?"

"Why do you care? It shouldn't matter if they like you. You're not there for them. You're there to get an education and move onto the next phase in life, whatever that may be. You were born to be yourself and accomplish great things and leave behind a legacy for you children to follow and benefit from. Fuck all those students if they don't like you, so what. Do you think I care, hell I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb because of my gorgeous cinnamon kissed skin. I can already hear the stupid ass rumors now." In my best Valley girl voice "Like OMG did you see Penny's skin? That tan is so totally fake. She's totally acting as if it's real. She's not even that hot. Look at her huge ass and that horrible red dye job." She started laughing. Once she calmed down she hugged me.

"Thanks Penny, you always know what to say."

"That's why I'm here babe, now let's go grocery shopping because I know Charlie doesn't have any food in this house and a bitch is hungry." She laughed some more as we made our way downstairs. Charlie was sitting in front the TV like always. Bella and I looked at each other and just shook our heads.

"Charlie? Where the food at?"

He turned around and turned really bright pink in the face. "I'm sorry girls you'll have to go to the store. There's a jar in the pantry labeled food money."

"Charlie you have two growing girls that love food, well at least I do. Tsk Tsk Chief Swan."

His face got even pinker and he mumbled "Sorry, I wasn't expecting you two so soon." I decided to let him off the hook.

"It's okay Charlie, we'll go. How does gravy smothered pork chops, steamed rice and veggies sound."

"Sounds great Penny."

I walked over to him after retrieving the money and gave him an awkward backward hug. He coughed and said be safe. We left and as we where driving to the store we drove past Forks High. It looked like a bunch of mismatched houses. Where were the metal detectors and chain-linked fences. Oh yeah I forgot this is safe ass Forks. Crime rate negative zero percent. Bella and I split the list and decided to meet at the counter. After about 45 minutes we met at checkout. We got everything, paid and went back home. Charlie was outside to meet us again. He helped put the groceries away and I started prepping dinner.

The next morning I decided to go for a jog. As I was jogging I made a mental note to run through the school and take note of where each of the buildings were located. It was mid-afternoon when I was running back. As I ran back past the high school a shiny, silver Volvo came zooming out of the parking lot and nearly hitting me. I swore loudly and it came to a halt. I walked up to the Volvo screaming.

"HEY, WATCH WHERE THE FUCK YOU'RE GOING!"

I kicked the side of the car. The driver's side door opened and out stepped a chalky pale boy no older than 17 with tousled bronzed hair, and a slender, but still muscular body. He looked at the dent my foot made in his car. His pitch black eyes glared at me. Like I care I'm not backing down...

"That was uncalled for"

"So was you driving like a fucking bat out of hell."

"Why are you running on the road anyway?"

"It's called jogging Fuckface and it isn't against the law unlike your driving speed."

That's when I heard the most infectious booming laugh. The other three doors opened and four more inhumanly beautiful people stepped out the car. Two girls and two more boys, of the girls one was short with dark spiky hair running in every direction with pixie like features and a slim body. The other girl was blond and stauesque. She had a killer figure with silky long golden blonde hair. The boys were opposites. One was honey blonde muscular built slightly leaner than the last boy. His face was contorted with pain then almost instantly he smoothed out his face. The last boy, well can't really call him a boy. He was huge, he had big muscular biceps with a broad muscular chest, dark curly hair and a sexy dimple in his cheek. Hard to tell who was the most beautiful the blonde girl or the curly haired boy. The blonde spoke with an alluring voice.

"I'm sorry, my idiot brother almost hit you."

"Gee thanks, but you weren't driving Fuckface was and I want an apology from him, but I appreciate the gesture." The biggest boy let out another booming laugh. I looked at him and raised my eyebrow.

"You find me funny Mr. Hulk?" He looked up at me with his pitch black eyes. I felt a strong pulling sensation in my chest as we stared each other down. Hmm, That's odd? Different hair tones but pitch black eyes?

"Yea I do. Fuckface, I might use that later." The honey blonde male chuckled at Mr. Hulk's comment. The rusty hair colored one spoke up.

"I'm truly sorry for almost hitting you. I honestly didn't see you."

"Why don't I believe you, you sound like a professional liar." I didn't break my eye contact from Mr Hulk as I spoke. Mr. Hulk chuckled again. After a while the blonde male spoke up. I looked over at him.

" It seems my siblings have forgotten their manners, let me introduce ourselves. I'm Jasper Hale and these are my siblings, the driver is Edward Cullen, the blonde female is my twin sister Rosalie Hale. This little lady is Alice Cullen and Mr Hulk as you so eloquently put it is my brother Emmett Cullen." Emmett hmm. I don't know why I like that name all of a sudden. I looked at the one called Emmett. He has the most beautiful smile. Damn those sexy dimples.

"I'm Penelope Ortiz but I prefer Penny, I start Monday with Chief Swan's daughter Bella. Twins huh? It's nice to meet you all, I just wished it was under different circumstances.."

Alice spoke next, "Edward can be a little crazy when driving. " She smiled a dazzling smile at me. I broke away from Emmett's gaze and looked at her.

"I'm guessing school's too much"

Edward spoke up again "You have no idea" Something in me wondered if he truly meant that.

"I would be in a rush too, to get away from the mind-numbing, inane, superficial, obessive, irritating, shallow chatter of my self-absorbed peers as well."

Rosalie smirked a little and Emmett laugh out loud again. I looked at her feet and noticed she was wearing a pair of black Louboutins.

"Woah! I love you Louboutins!"

Alice squealed "You know designers?" She was bouncing on the balls of her tiny tinkerbell feet.

"Yea I do, I'm a woman who loves shoes." Rosalie looked at me and she said

"You said you just moved here and you're staying with Chief Swan and his daughter? Where are your parents?" I quickly averted the subject.

"Yup, well it was lovely chatting with you all, but I have to get home."

I turned toward Edward eager to change the subject. "No Blood, No Foul. Just be more cautious. See you all at school Monday."

I watched them all climb back into the Volvo except Emmett, he just looked at me so I stuck my tongue out and crossed my eyes. He seemed to snap out of it and laughed that infectious laugh. He climbed back into the car and they sped down the street. I don't know what it is about him and that laugh but it stirs something deep inside me. I now look forward to Monday morning just to see Emmett Cullen.

As I was jogging back up Charlie's street I see a rusty red pick-up truck and Bella hugging Charlie excitedly. I run up to them and stop next to the truck.

"Hey guys, what's this?" Charlie turned to me and told me it was a welcome home present for Bella. I looked the truck over. It was rusted red color with a bulbous cab. It's solid and sturdy. The perfect car for Bella, it'll also survive in a collision with what's left of the foreign car who dared to test this monster surrounding it.

"Bella, you should let me restore it to its orginal glory like I did Jesse." She looked at me like I've just grown three heads.

"Are you crazy, no. I like it just the way it is, it has personality."

"Yea the personality of a damn dead farrett. Come on, I can make this monster look way better. She set her jaw and said that I will leave her truck alone. I threw my hands up and said fine. Charlie looked at me surprised.

"You restored the Mustang."

"Yup, Jesse is my pride and joy."

"Never met a girl who was into automachanics."

"I know I love it. I love the feeling of getting under the hood or the undercarriage." I had a strange feeling we were being watched and this pulling sensation in my chest is hurting like a bitch with menstral cramps.

"Well, that's wonderful Penny, but you're not going to change Bells mind she as stubborn as a mule."

"Don't I know it." I chuckled. "I'll leave the rust bucket alone, but we're taking my car Monday when we start school and we'll alternate each week, same goes for the cooking duties. Sound fair Bells?"

"Yea that's fair. What's for dinner tonight."

"I'm thinking Chicken Ravioli?" Charlie and Bella both nodded their agreement and went into the house. I looked back at the stretch of forest in front of Charlie's house and could've sworn I saw a flash of dark, curly hair and 10 seconds later a flash of blonde hair. Its only been twenty-four hours and I'm already imaging things. I just brushed it off and went inside for a shower and to start dinner.

The rest of the weekend flew by. I woke up Monday morning to the shower running. I decided to use Charlie's bathroom, just we wouldn't be late. When I finally finished Bella and Charlie were sitting and eating breakfast. Bella had a bowl of cereal and I decided to eat a bowl of oatmeal with diced apples and raisins. Fifteen mintues later Chief wished us luck he left for his first wife, the station. After another twenty-five minutes Bella and I left for school. We climbed into Jesse and headed to school. We were the first to arrive. I parked in front the office and Bella and I got out to retrieve our schedules. Once inside the office the room was cut in half by a long counter, cluttered with paperwork. There were three desks behind the counter, one was manned by a large, red-haired woman wearing a purple t-shirt, which probably made Bella feel overdressed but made me question the school's dress code policy.

The red-haired woman looked up. "Can I help you two?"

"I'm Penelope Ortiz and this is Isabella Swan," I informed her, and saw the immediate awareness light her eyes. Bella was expected, a topic of gossip no doubt. Daughter of the Chief's flighty ex-wife, come home at last and she brought a friend. I looked over at Bella and sure enough she was red-faced and biting her lower lip. She tends to do that when she's either nervous, anxious or embarrassed.

"Of course." she said.

She dug through a precariously stacked pile of documents on her desk till she found what she was looking for. "I have your schedules and a map of the school." She brought several sheets to the counter to show us. She went through Bella's and mine classes, highlighting the best route to each on the map, and gave us both a slip for our teachers to sign, which we were to bring back at the end of the day. She smiled at us and hoped, like Charlie that we would like it here in Forks. Bella smiled back as convincingly as she could.

We went back out to my car and saw other students were starting to arrive. I drove around the school following the line of traffic. I noticed that a lot of the cars were older like mine and Bella's ancient truck. Nothing too flashy, back in Phoenix in the Paradise Valley District, it was common to see a new Mercedes or Porsche in the student lot. I looked to my left and I spotted the shiny Volvo. I felt a pulling sensation flare up and I glanced around for Emmett. I felt my heart drop when I didn't see him and I honestly don't understand why. That's incredibly annoying and frustrating. We compared schedules and noticed that we have only have first period together. We left my car and followed two unisex raincoats inside the building.

The two unisex raincoats were also in this class. Bella and myself went up to the teacher's desk. He was a tall, balding man who nameplate identified him as Mr. Mason. He noticed Bella's name on her schedule and gawked at her. Of course she blushed fifty shades of red. He signed our slips, handed us our books and sent us to the back of the classroom with no nonsense of introductions. I can already tell he'll be Bella's favorite. As the teacher began his lesson, I took this opportunity to look at my class schedule.

1. English- Mr Mason

2. Chemistry- Mrs. Dalton

3. Spanish- Mrs. Geoff

4. P.E.- Coach Clapp

5. Trigonometry- Mr. Varner

6. Government- Mrs. Jefferson

7. Office Assistant- Ms Cope

All throughout the class our classmate were peeking glances at us. Don't ask me how they managed to do that with us sitting in the back but they did. We noticed the class was fairly basic: Bronte, Shakespeare, Chaucer and Faulkner. We had already read everything and it was boring and mundane. I looked over at Bella and I can tell she's probably wondering if Renee would send us our folders with old essays, or if she would consider that cheating. I was thinking of ways the both of us could argue our case, while the teacher droned on. When the bell rang, a nasal buzzing sound, a gangly boy with really bad acne and hair as black as a oil spill leaned across the aisle to talk to us.

You're Isabella and Penelope aren't you?" He looked like the overly helpful chess club type.

"Bella"

"Penny"

Everyone within a three-seat radius turned to look at us. "Where's your next class?" he asked

Bella had to pull her schedule ou of her bag. "Government with Jefferson, in building six." she stated

"Chemistry with Mrs Dalton" There was no where to look without meeting curious or as I see it nosy eyes.

"I'm headed to building four, I could show you the way.." Definitely over-helpful. "I'm Eric" he added.

Bella smiled. I looked at him. "No thanks, we can find our own way. This school isn't that huge. Goodbye." He looked crestfallen, I grabbed Bella's arm and pulled her away from the class.

"You know you could've just let him help us."

"And let him develop an unneeded crush on either one of us. No Thanks. Besides Friday I ran through here and memorize the building in which all my classes are in, plus Ms. Cope just showed us the direct routes."

"How and you just recieved your schedule."

"Easy, Bells this school isn't as large as ours is back in Phoenix. Plus the buildings are clearly mark and in order. Just follow the sidewalk and you'll be there. See you at lunch" I showed her the direct path to her class and we went our separate ways. I got to Mrs. Dalton's class and walked up to her desk. She signed my slip and made me introduce myself.

"Class we have a new student. Please introduce and tell us a bit about yourself" She said

I decided to use a fake British accent. "Hello, My name is Penelope but I prefer Penny. I was born and raised in California until I was six, then I moved to Phoenix and now I'm here."

I walked to my seat and zoned out. The rest of the morning passed by like a blur. I managed to recognize some of the names and faces of my peers from earlier. Lunch time rolled around and walked into the cafeteria it was already in full swing. I scanned the lunch room for Bella and spotted Emmett. I felt the pulling sensation flare up in my chest, I wanted to follow it but I didn't want to do it in front of the entire school. He looked up at me and our eyes connected, he smiled and I felt my heart skip a beat. I was lost in his eyes, a fact I hated. "Get a grip Ortiz, he's just like all the others. A heartbreaker." I heard my name being called but for the life of me I couldn't break the eye contact and respond. I felt someone tugging on my arm. I looked away and noticed it was Bella.

"Penny, are you okay?"

"I'm fantastic."

She walked with me to the table she sat at. Everyone introduced themselves then turned back to their own conversation.

Halfway through lunch I sat on the other side of Bella conversing with Angela. She seems like a shy but sweet girl.

"So how's your first day so far?" she asked. I was just about to respond when Mallory, I think, spoke in a annoyingly nasally voice.

"Just so you know, Emmett Cullen doesn't date, so don't waste your time. Jess already told Bella not to waste her time with Edward." I decided to play coy.

"What are you talking about Mallory?" She narrowed her fishy eyes at me.

"I saw you drooling over Emmett, he's off limits."

"Says who" She looked me up and down.

"Me, he doesn't date"

The cafeteria got eerily silent. Jessica filled me in on the Cullen gossip and honestly the tone of her voice pissed me off, I snapped.

"So what, how DARE you talk of them as if you're better than them? Did it ever occur to either of you superficial bitches that they hear what the fuck you're saying and instead of doing anything about it, they take the high road and ignore it. Shit, I wouldn't socialize with you fake bitches either. How DARE you spread around a RUMOR that Mrs. Cullen can't have kids? How the fuck would you know? Are you her OBGYN? How DARE you speak ill of a woman you've NEVER even met? She and Dr. Cullen adopted them because they have more heart than you and Stanley put together. They took them in a gave them a chance at a real life. You don't know their real story, maybe there's a reason they are the way they are. Instead of being kind and getting to know them, you condemn them just because they're different. So what Jasper and Alice are a couple? So what Rosalie and Sebastian are a couple? They're not blood related only Jasper and Rosalie are. As for Edward and Emmett not dating, maybe the do date, but don't date snobbish, rude, superficial, annoying, gossipy, trashy bitches like you." Mallory stood up and so did I.

"Come at me bitch. I'll mop the floor with your ugly, slutty ass."

I pushed the table out of the way, and beckoned her to do something. Of course, the flake bitch didn't do anything. She sat back down.

"That's what I thought, you aren't nothing but a scary ass bitch who thinks she's hot shit. Keep your fucking mouth shut, you cunt."

I looked up around the cafeteria, everyone had a look of pure astonishment on his or her face. I didn't dare look to the Cullen table. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Bella had Biology and I had Government.

Once I got to building six, I hurried to my class. I opened the door to Ms Jefferson's class and noticed Emmett was in this class. There was only one empty seat left, right next to him. The teacher signed my slip and told me to take a seat next to Mr. Cullen. I walked down the aisle, plopped down in my seat and put my bag onto my desk. I put my face in my bag and let out a frustrated sigh. I heard someone clear his throat. I looked up to my left and noticed it was Emmett, the pulling sensation was back.

"Hey, on behave of my family, thanks." I looked at him like he grew a new head.

"Oh, you're talking about lunch. Yeah no problem, she's a bitch and she needed to be put in her place. I gladly do it again."

He chuckled "I'm sure you will." He turned back to the front of the class, I couldn't help but stare at him. He's so much bigger up close, He's wearing a long sleeve black shirt and a jacket over it. He smelled so delicious. His face looks like it was carved by the Gods, he had a head full of dark, curly hair, and I just wanted to run my fingers through it. His dimples are more prominate when he laughs compared to when he smiles. An all together gorgeous face. "Quit staring at him idiot, don't do this to yourself. It'll be the Paul situation all over again."

Mrs. Jefferson called the class to order and we spent the rest of the period glancing at each other, but never catching each other eye again. My pen rolled off the desk onto the floor. We both reached down to pick it up at the same time. When our hands touched, two things happened first I felt a how cold his hands were. That's not why I pulled away, it stung as if electric current passed between us and I felt it radiated all over my body. I gasped and we locked eyes again, the pulling sensation stopped completely and I felt as if my world is complete. I felt a sense of peace with him. I broke our eye contact and shifted my hair over my shoulder to hide my face. I realized I was blushing. Let's be clear I NEVER BLUSH! Here I am, being just like Bella blushing like crazy. After the bell rang, I bolted out of the classroom so fast I'm pretty sure it confused him. I just had to get out of there.

My last class was Office Assistant, so I was in the office with Ms Cope. She took my slip, signed it and put it in my newly created student file. I helped and chatted with Ms Cope. She was just as annoying as Mallory and just as talkative as Stanley. She let me leave 10 minutes before school let out. I was sitting in my car, listening to Joan Jett when the bell signaled the end of the school day. I watched as my fellow peers walked to their respective vehicles. I noticed the Cullens headed toward the Volvo. They were standing around it, my guess waiting for Edward. Well they didn't have to wait long because he showed up three minutes later. They left and soon I was the only car left in the lot. I saw Bella walking toward my car she had her head down. When she got in I noticed her eyes were puffy.

"Hey, why you crying? Whose ass do I have to kick?" She chuckled a little and fought against the tears as I was driving home.
