This is my first Fan Fiction guys, so bear with me. Any reviews would be nice...but try not to be mean!

DISCLAIMER: Shockingly enough, and much to my disappointment, i am NOT Stephanie Meyers, and do not own any of her characters.

FLASHFORWARD

As I raced through the trees, I could only think of one thing.

Get away from there. Don't think, just run. Away.

Ignoring the snapping noises of the twigs whipping against my body, I looked to the skies. For once, luck seemed to be on my side, a hawk soared high above the canopy. I eased myself into its mind, and had a quick scan around at the earth far below me. Nothing.

Well, nothing that was any real threat to me. There was a mountain lion stretched out on a rocky outcrop, lazing in the afternoon sun, but not even ME, with my amazing aptitude for attracting bad luck, and being clumsy from the moment of my birth-and rebirth for that matter, could let a loping feline catch me.

I looked in the mirror, my eyes and mind searching for something, anything that could possibly give me a decent excuse for getting out of school. I examined the list of excuses that I had used already this year in my head.

Stomach Bug…only used that once, but I think Esme saw through it, seeing as we can only digest blood, and gave me the day off out of pity

Fever…that one was a definite no-go.

High Blood Pressure….even worse than the fever attempt.

Cold/flu…may have been pushing Carlisle's patience when I used that last week-I think that was the 4th cold this year…

By year, I mean 3 weeks. Out of those 3 weeks of school, I had attended only 6 days. I was pretty pleased with myself.

While I was off in my daydream of faux illnesses, the door opened. I started, not used to being surprised. Esme. Damn.

"Bella, sweetie, all ready to go? Rosalie and Emmet left already, and Alice is waiting for you in the Volvo…everything alright?' She looked at me suspiciously.

Think Bella, any excuse…THINK!

"I'm fine Esme, honestly, the way you fuss, you'd think I was HUMAN!"

She laughed, and I gave her a quick hug before I grabbed my bag and ran out to the Volvo.

I checked my timetable. Bio, not good. My first day at a new school, in a place in the middle of nowhere-no BROADBAND for goodness sake, and I had Biology. What is it that the universe has against me?

I stepped out of my ute, wincing as the door crunched and creaked horribly as I shut it. I looked down, and saw some fairly decent sized flakes of grey paint floating around in a puddle. Ah well, my grey old truck was one chip closer to being a white one. I felt about two inches tall when I noticed a shiny black Volvo pulling into the space next to me. Whats worse, was that inside the car, were two of THE most gorgeous girls I had ever seen. Aware that I was gawking, I turned to go, walking into the side view mirror of my truck. It wobbled dangerously-and fell off. Just my luck. Acutely aware of the giggling behind me, I hurled the mirror into my passenger seat, and stalked off towards the school reception.
