Chapter 1

I heard Edward's Volvo pull into the drive way and I reached for the black jacket hanging over the back of my desk chair. No matter how early I get up it seems like I am never ready when he gets here. I ran down the stairs and searched the living room frantically for my notebook. A car door slammed outside and I spun too quickly to face the door, sending me down on my knees with a thud. Pain shot up through both kneecaps and I rolled onto my back, rubbing them both gently and imagining the bruises erupting across them already. There was a light knock at the door and Alice stuck her head in.

"Bella. What are you doing?"

"Looking for my notebook." I groaned and sat up to watch at her as she picked up my notebook off the TV, right where I had left it last night.

"You mean this?" She giggled and handed it to me. I smoothed my hair the best I could and limped over to grab my backpack off the couch and shove the stupid notebook into it.

"Edward sent me in to make sure were almost ready." Alice took a seat on the couch and looked like she was ready to wait awhile. This was our normal morning routine. Edward was too much of a gentleman to come inside himself. He didn't feel comfortable seeing me before I was completely ready for the day even though I had told him a million times it was ok.

"Well I am actually ready to go now." I smiled triumphantly as Alice looked at me in shock. I held the door for her and we walked out to the car together, well, I limped.

"Wow, I think this is a record." Emmett had gotten out of the front seat when he saw us coming and was folding himself into the back where he had been banished since Edward started picking me up for school. I just stuck my tongue out at him and hobbled into the passenger seat.

"Hey! I think we are going to be on time today." Edward laughed and put the car in reverse, I let him kiss my cheek before buckling my seat belt.

He looked amazing, like always, his blue eyes sparkled clearly at me in the cloudy morning light and his copper hair was just the right amount of messy to prove he never did anything to it and still looked perfect. It amazed me that he had ever taken any interest in me. Every girl in school would eat their own hair for a chance to be with him but he had some weird preference for me. Maybe I wasn't gorgeous like Rosalie Hale, but I must have something going on.

"So, did you find a dress?" Alice asked from the back seat. Edward had taken me to Seattle yesterday to get a dress for prom. My cheeks flushed, I am pretty sure I was the only girl whose boy friend had insisted on buying her dress. At least he let me pay for the shoes I thought grimly.

"Yeah, it's really pretty. It's white and it has one sleeve…" I trailed off, not knowing how else to explain it. The dress hadn't really been my first choice, but Edward really liked it so it was the one I picked. Alice laughed in the back seat, my fashion knowledge was greatly lacking compared to hers.

"One sleeve?"

"Don't worry Alice, I wouldn't let her pick something ugly."

"I'll check it out after school then" Alice settled back into the seat and began checking her makeup in the little compact mirror she carried everywhere.

"Dude, I can't believe you went dress shopping when you didn't have to." Emmett was looking at Edward in disgust. Rose had drug him to a million stores before she finally found the dress she wanted and even though Emmett swears he hated it we all know better. If it had to do with watching Rose change there was nothing about it Emmett would dislike. Edward just laughed at Emmett in the rear view mirror. Going to get a dress had been Edward's idea after all. I was going to try and find something cheap in Port Angeles, but he wouldn't go for it. He said since he asked me to go to the prom he should pay for everything. Luckily he had parents that were knee deep in money. Alice had confided in me that not all of their money came from Dr. Cullen's position at the hospital. Some of it was inherited from her Grandfather who had been some sort of medical equipment designer and had struck it rich on some x-ray machine he had invented. No matter how it came to them, the Cullen's were probably the richest family in Fork's, and probably most of the surrounding cities.

We were pulling into the school and I could see Rose standing next to her car looking as much like a model as ever. Rose and her twin brother Jasper were ridiculously out of place here in Fork's, just like Edward, Alice and Emmett. It was really no shock that they had all ended up together. There must be some sort of gravitational pull for gorgeous people to live in this rainy, depressing town. But even after being a part of their little group for six months I still felt like the odd one. Edward slipped his arm around my shoulders and we all walked into the school together, paired off into couples- Rose and Emmett, Jasper and Alice, Edward and I. I wasn't exactly sure when my life had become so surreal. Back in Arizona I'd had a small group of friends, and even a few male admirer's, but it was nothing like this. We were practically celebrities at Fork's High. Even the teachers let us do whatever we wanted.

I could feel eyes on us from every direction. That was nothing new- we were somewhat of a sideshow. Emmett's impressive size, and Rose's unnatural beauty were hard to ignore and Alice and Jasper were almost as physically appealing, even if Jasper wasn't as bulky as Emmett. It was odd the way other girls eyes lingered on me, as if they were trying to memorize my exact look and the way I moved, the same way they followed Alice and Rose. I guess when the hottest boy in school likes you your desirability increases. Well, possibly the hottest guy in school. There was only one other contender and as usual my eyes scanned the crowed for his blonde head. James Camden had actually been the first person I met on my first day of school. I had been searching for my first class and was late, like always. I came around the corner of a building in a rush and he was leaning against the wall, just staring out into nothing. I practically ran him over before even noticing he was there.

… Six months earlier…

I dug my heels into the ground to keep from crashing into the blonde boy leaning against the wall and almost fell flat on my face, but he reached out one strong arm to steady me. My breath caught in my throat and a little squeak escaped. His blue eyes were startling in the shadows, they flashed like dark storm clouds with so many dark emotions tumbling over themselves in them. The angry eyes seemed so out of place on such a beautiful face. His eyes sloped slightly at the edges, making him look so sad.

"Hey there new girl, you lost?" He smiled dangerously and I wasn't sure if I should reply or run. I wasn't even sure if he was actually a student, he seemed older then a teenager. He had taken a step closer to me and all I could do was watch his body move with a fluidity I could never match. Then he snatched the schedule I'd been studying out of my hand and read over my classes. I just stood watching, too stunned to move.

"None of these are very important you know. How about we take off and I give you a private little tour of our shitty town?" He had moved so close to me that if I took a deep enough breath our bodies would touch. I finally unfroze and stepped back hesitantly.

"Thanks but I am pretty sure ditching on the first day wouldn't make a good first impression."

"I bet your dad wouldn't be too happy about it either." He smirked at me but didn't move away. One of the perks of having the police chief for a father, everyone knew me before I knew them.

"Probably not…" I managed to stammer out. Without thinking I reached to take the schedule back from him and he held it high above his head.

"I really do need that."

"Don't worry, you can have it back." Though he didn't move to hand it back to me. Somewhere in my mind the danger alarm was sounding, until now I had thought he was just messing around with me, but something had changed in the air. I could sense the difference in our strength, and speed. He was standing casually, feet slightly apart, watching for my next move. The logical part of my brain was telling me to walk away, but something stronger was keeping me from moving.

"If you give me a kiss..." Those dark eyes seemed to be filling up my vision; his lips seemed so close to mine. For a second I actually thought it was a reasonable request. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back, waiting to feel the softness of his mouth on mine. A sudden noise brought me back to reality.

"James, you're not supposed to assault the new girls." A soft velvety voice flowed around me, but there was a sharp edge to it. I turned and was surprised to see another beautiful boy had come around the corner. What were the chances of the two most gorgeous guys I had ever seen both going to school here in this random little town in Washington?

"But they like it Eddie. " The casual feel that the boy, James, had while we were talking was completely gone, replaced with a predator's tense observation of the intruder. The two God like creatures stood only a few feet apart, both of them waiting for the other to make the first move. It felt like I was in between two circling animals.

"So we better get to class huh, that second bell rang awhile ago." My voice sounded like a whine, desperate to calm the tension in the atmosphere. It was obvious that there was some ongoing battle between these two and I wasn't happy to be caught in the middle.

"Your right, sorry." The new boy took a step back and smiled shyly " I'm Edward." He held out a hand towards me, the almost fight had apparently been forgotten.

"Be-" I began but was interrupted.

"Isabella Swan, daughter of our wonderful police chief." The blonde boy had cut me off. He had been watching Edward and I with disgust until that moment. I blushed lightly. I wondered what else he knew about me.

"Just Bella actually." I smiled lightly and shook Edward's still waiting hand.

"Come on, I'll walk you to your class." Edward still hadn't taken his eyes off mine and I moved to fall into step with him. It was a second later that I realized that James still had my schedule of classes, but when I turned to get it from him he was gone.
