Here is a new story idea of mine, Please review- it makes me smile!!! It's a role- reversal. I haven't seen one like this yet, so I thought I'd try.
BPOV
That was the first time I saw them. I don't know why I wasn't able to look away, wasn't able to go back to listening to Lauren and Jessica ramble on. All I could do was stare at them, without being able to even blink.
There were five of them sitting at the table. All of them were deep in conversation, whispering to each other at an impossible pace. It wasn't until one of them stood up to empty her tray that I noticed their height. She must have been just under six feet tall, with short cut black hair. Her russet skin contrasted amazingly to mine. Despite her height, her movements were graceful as a ballerina.
Jessica finally noticed that I wasn't listening to her, and giggled when she noticed who I was staring at. "Who are they?" I whispered to her.
"They're the Cullen's and Hale's. The girl with the short black hair is Alice, and the girl with long hair is Rosalie Hale. The tallest boy is Jasper, the big one is Emmett, and the last one is Edward. Two of them were adopted by Esme and Dr. Cullen, but Rosalie and Jasper really are twins." She said this all faster than I thought possible.
The one called Edward caught my attention the most. His black hair was perfectly messy, and his shirt clung to his well-muscled chest. He had nice features, and beautiful black eyes. Jessica, deciding to finally pay attention to my actions, started talking again.
"Emmett and Rosalie are together, and so are Alice and Jasper. Edward doesn't date though, he says he's too busy". She must have been turned down by him multiple times judging by the look on her face.
The rest of them had gotten up and walked to the trashcan, all having the same graceful motions; even Emmett.
"Are they new here?" I asked Jessica. I'm sure I would have seen them during one of my visits.
"No, they have been here a while." Maybe it was just my memory failing me. But how could I have forgotten the Cullen's? The bell that signaled lunch had ended rung, and I gathered my things together quickly. Running to my class wasn't such a smart idea, and I trip just before I reached Biology. A pair of warm arms replaced the hard concrete, and I looked up into the soft black eyes of Edward Cullen.
"Thanks", I muttered, trying to hide my blush.
"You're welcome", He replied in a husky voice, and stood me upright. He walked quickly to the building I was just about to enter, and sat down at one of the black-topped tables. Mike, a boy who had felt the need to follow me around today, had caught up to me.
"Hey Bella. Sorry, I already have a lab parter. I could ask to switch if you like". He looked at me hopefully, with a small hint of jealousy.
"Thanks Mike, but I wouldn't want to inconvenience Jessica. I'll just take whatever empty seat they have". I could see now why he was jealous. Edward Cullen sat at the only other empty table, only his books taking up the space.
"Isabella", Mr. Banner's voice came from behind me, "Please take the empty seat".
"Bella", I muttered quietly, and walked carefully across the floor. I didn't need him to see that I was a total klutz.
"Hello", The husky voice came again. "My name is Edward Cullen. You must be Bella."
I shook his hand, and had to keep myself from gasping. It felt as if he had been holding it over an oven for long periods of time. He noticed my reaction, and pulled his hand away apologetically.
"How did you know to call me Bella?"
"I heard you mutter something about it after Mr. Banner called you Isabella". I tired to remember how loud I said that, and how he was able to hear it. I dismissed the silly thought, and went back to staring at the blackboard.
Edward stayed silent for the rest of the class, taking careful notes in not-so-careful handwriting. The material was on things that I had already learned in Phoenix, so I spent the majority of the time staring out the window. The rain had turned into a cold mist, spraying lightly outside.
"Do you like the rain"?, he asked curiously.
I put my hand to my mouth to stifle the laugher that was threatening to escape.
"Why is it funny?" He asked me, his brow furrowing in confusion.
"The rain isn't exactly one of my friends."
"I see", he said, and turned his attention back to taking notes. He pressed the pencil hard to the paper, almost tearing through. He was so easily frustrated, but frustrated about what? Not guessing right about me?
The bell rung loudly, shaking me out of my trance. Edward got up beside me, flashed me a smile, and walked away. I only had one more class left in the day, gym. I'd be lucky enough if I didn't trip on my way there; extremely lucky if I left without a cast on.
I picked up my books, and walked towards the locker rooms. Since it was my first day, even though they gave me a uniform, I didn't have to change out. Instead, I sat on the bleachers, writing a paragraph about the rules of baseball. Easy enough, Charlie was always watching some game or another.
After the hour of gym had passed, I walked out to my noisy truck. Edward and his family were all piling into a jeep that was barely big enough to hold all of them (A/N the Volvo is just too small... but you will see it later...). My noisy truck roared to life, getting all kinds of curious stares. I saw Edward stare at me through his rear-view mirror, before driving too fast out of the parking lot.
My truck barely went 55, so I wasn't able to make quite as drastic an exit. People still stared at me, new student thing, which I hated. I got home after a few minutes, and got started on making dinner.
After I marinated the steaks and set them in the oven to bake, I got started on my homework. There wasn't nearly enough to keep Edward off my mind.
Charlie came home, hung up his gun belt, and sat down to watch the game. "Some thing smells good Bells", he said after the timer on the oven went off. He got up from the couch, and sat down at the table.
Dinner with Charlie was a quiet affair, he was a lot like me. Rene would have been asking me hundreds of questions about my first day, but Charlie just stuck to, "How do you like Forks High?"
"It's nice, and so are the people." I didn't try to tell him that some of them were overly nice, like Eric and Mike. We finished eating, cleared our plates, and went back to what we were doing. Him watching the game, and me thinking about Edward. What was it about them that made them catch my attention. There were plenty of other kids of Native American decent at Forks high, but they just blended in with everybody else.
"So", Charlie began after a commercial, "I got your truck pretty cheap from a new family who moved down to La Push." (A/N- In this story La Push isn't a reservation)
I remembered him saying something about Billy Black, another family pretty new to Washington. "Yeah".
"Well, he's got an adopted son about your age, Jacob, I thought maybe you'd want to meet him. He's having a hard time adjusting."
I thought about this for a moment. As long it wasn't a date, I was fine with it. "Sure Ch...Dad". He smiled; sometimes it was so easy to make him happy. And who knows, maybe Jacob will be a nice guy. Or a least, not like Mike.
I walked upstairs, grateful that I could take a nice, hot shower. The water helped sooth my muscles, and I almost fell asleep. I wrapped myself up in a towel, and went back to my familiar room. After getting ready for bed, I decided I needed to check my e-mail. After my slow modem started up, I found three letters waiting from Rene. By the last one, she was frantic, and threatening to call Charlie.
Chill out Mom, I'm writing now.
I sent that one, and began typing the next.
Forks is still the same Mom, just as rainy as ever. School nice, and so are the people. I'm actually making friends. Charlie's good too, though I have found out that he knows how to cook nothing but fried eggs and bacon. It's a good thing I got over here, he might have died without me. Relax Mom, breathe. Love you, Bella.
I crashed on my bed, suddenly very tired after my first day. I pulled the covers tight around me, and tried without luck to drown out the sound of the rain. After adding two more pillows to the top of my head, I finally fell out of consciousness.
Okay- there is your first chapter. It's a little short, but I'll try to make the next ones longer. Review Review Review please!!!!!!
