Okay, so I got a bunch of reviews (okay, one) asking if I would talk about what happened with Isabella and Drake before Bridget got to Coates. I had already been planning to write this as a companion to Used to parallel the story and give deeper insight or whatever. So this starts out when Isabella has her first day at Coates, and will follow the storyline of Used and therefore the main story, although I'm debating whether or not to have Isabella's story branch off some when Drake leaves/dies. I'd appreciate opinions on that.

And one more thing: THIS IS NOT MEANT TO OFFEND TWILIGHT FANS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

Look, I read the first three Twilight books and know how the fourth ends (Bella marries Edward, have creepy vampire child, Jacob imprints, Bella becomes vampire, etc.) And don't get me wrong: I like Twilight. It was a pretty good book. It wasn't my all-time favorite, but I didn't hate it.

Twilight is like the Justin Bieber of the book world: everyone is either completely obsessed or wants it dead and buried deep in the earth where no one will ever find it. I'm just neutral (on both JB and Twilight). But you know those people who are so creepily obsessed that they have all kinds of Twilight merchandise and think about it all the time? (Kind of like me with GONE and Harry Potter) That's who I'm poking fun at in this chapter. I don't hate people because they love Twilight, but it just gets annoying sometimes.

So if you love Twilight with all your heart, then please, I'm not trying to call you a loser or stupid because you like a book, because lots of people might (and probably do) hate me for obsessing over books all the time. Don't leave evil reviews telling me to rot in hell because I fell in love with Michael Grant's telekinetic instead of Stephanie Meyer's vampire. Just be kind and tell what you think of the story itself.

Wow, that was so long, I think it might even be considered an official rant!

…

…Well, if you must know…

…I suppose I'm Team Edward, unless you're counting other books. In that case, Edward drops down to about 25th place.

Now, read and review! Do it for Bella (the OC)!

"Doesn't it just seem like the perfect place?" My mother asked excitedly, hoping for a good reaction. I looked at the brochure in my hands, full of smiling kids and teachers.

"It looks like a freaking butterfly farm." I responded, my voice full of disgust. My mother frowned at my language but grit her teeth, trying to convince me of how Coates Academy was going to make me a wonderful person. I wasn't convinced.

It had all started a few months ago, when my parents went to a meeting and learned how to use the internet. They then learned how to check what's on a computer, and it wasn't long before my laptop was invaded. I came home to find my parents waiting, a stack of printed out documents and webpages I had been perusing lately. Coupled with the fact that they had checked what I had recently viewed on YouTube (various people suffering from various injuries) and searched my desk and discovered my sketchpad, they finally figured out that I had a seriously screwed up mind.

I was immediately whisked off to a psychiatrist's office, who ruled that I enjoyed watching people feel pain. Then, due to my "violent tendencies", he gave my parents different brochures for different schools all over the country that claimed to "fix" bad kids like me. My mother fell in love with Coates Academy the moment she saw their brochure, and has her heart set on me being corrected there. The tuition was high, but we were pretty affluent—it wasn't that much money to us. So despite my passive-aggression, my belongings and I were sent to California.

Coates had a nice campus, I would give it that. It was a few miles from the ocean, near a quaint little town called Perdido Beach. On my first day, I was assigned a schedule, a dorm room, and a set of textbooks. I took my things and left them in my new room (which I was sharing with some girl named Penny) and then followed my schedule to the first class of the day. I arrived a few minutes late, so the teacher had already started the lecture when I walked in. Fifteen pairs of eyes locked on me, and I glared back. Most left, but a good looking sandy-haired boy in the back of the room kept watching.

"Class, I'd like you to meet Isabella-"

"Swan?" Some girl wearing a TEAM EDWARD button on her blazer interrupted hopefully. I shot a venomous look at her, and a few kids snickered.

"Isabella DaHiff. All right, why don't you take a seat somewhere…" He looked around the room. There was a seat open in front of the blond boy, but the teacher acted like there wasn't. "Er…Susan, move over a little, Isabella will have to share a desk with you until we can get an extra one. Pull up a chair, Isabella."

"But there's an empty desk right there," I said, annoyed. I didn't want to have to share a seat with Susan the Twilight mega-fan. The teacher looked on the verge of letting me sit there until the blond boy spoke.

"Yeah, sir, let her sit right in front of…me." He grinned like a shark and winked at the teacher, who immediately strengthened his resolve.

"Yes, Isabella, you should sit with Susan. Go on." I glared at the blond boy and gave him the finger in plain view, not really caring who saw it. The boy grinned wider and gave me the finger right back.

"That's right, B!tch," The boy said, and I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could, the teacher interrupted.

"Drake! Isabella! Sit down and stop that this instant. Drake winked at me before turning back to the front of the room. I sat next to Susan, who immediately started whispering to me.

"Oh my God, so when he said Isabella I just totally freaked out I love her and Edward and Jasper and Emmett and Jacob and just Twilight in general it's just like the best book ever I like died when the movie came out Twilight is like my life and it's just so great I'm Team Edward are you Team Edward I just think he's so super-hot or should I say cold because you know he's constantly described as being made of marble and OMG if I didn't like Bella so much I would seriously steal Edward away from her because he is just so beautiful just like all of Twilight so yeah Isabella is like my new favorite name ever since I read Twilight if I have a daughter I'm going to name her Bella and if I have another daughter I'll name her Renesmee because it's just such a unique name you know what I mean and if I have a son I'm not really sure right now it's a toss-up between Jasper and Embry because they're both just such amazing names like all the names in Twilight of course I wouldn't expect anything less of Stephanie Meyer she's just such an amazing author I mean she wrote Twilight which is the best book ever so I mean that just proves how great she is because Twilight was just so great and-"

"Oh my God, will you just shut the hell up already?" I interjected, and she broke off with a pout. I rubbed my temples and ignored Susan's chatter for the rest of class. When it was finally over, I jumped out of my chair and headed to my next class, which was art.

I already hated Coates.
