Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters they belong to Stephenie Meyers, I am merely playing around with them.

The stares and whispers followed me everywhere. Whispers from envious classmates and stares from dazzled males. I'm not vain, far from I, but who can blame them for staring. My pearl-like alabaster skin was a stark contrast to my curl but not frizzy bronze hair that sat atop my lean face. People often commented that my chocolate brown eyes were my most complimentary feature, unique among vampires. My eyes also allowed me to seem more human.

Until now I had been home schooled, because I grew so fast I could never stay at one school for longer than a month but now I had matured and stopped growing I could go to college. And it wasn't as bad as I thought apart from the fact I couldn't touch anyone, or my power would be revealed. It took a lot of self control to be around people and I'm at a point now where the smell of blood doesn't bother me anymore but today, today was different, there's a new boy at school.

The only remaining seat was next to me, and that's where he got placed. I distanced myself from him as much as possible, it was no use. The smell of his blood was the only thing I could concentrate on. He was a right brain box as well, got everything right. Mr smith held me back at the end of the lesson to talk about my performance in the lesson. It was considerably below my average. All I wanted to do was get out of there and escape the intoxicating smell but I had to make up my excues and the whole time Jacob was waiting outside the door.

He can't be waiting for me, he must be waiting to speak to Mr Smith. I thought. I was wrong, he was waiting for me and had nothing at all to say to sir.

"What do you want" I snapped. I was at the end of my tether, literaly, I had been good and stuck to my family's vegetarian diet but this was too much. If I didn't leave soon I'd end up biting him.

"J-just to ask you what I h-had done wrong," He stammered.

"Nothing, I have to go" I replied and with that I left him staring after me.

That night I told mom and dad I was not going back to school and of course they replied like decent parents should.

"Nessie, it'll all be fine. You're worrying about nothing" My father had said.

"You don't understand" I had shouted and ran up to my aunty Alice's house, I knew I'd get the sympathy I needed from her. She'd know about it by now anyway.

I was both right and wrong at the same time. Aunty Alice did know but she wasn't willing to pay me any sympathy what so ever.

"You'll be fine, your father went through exactly the same thing, and look how happy your parents are," she said. "But don't take that as a que to make him your vampire soul mate."

"I'm not completely bonkers, Aunty Alice" I replied.

"Yes, but if your anything like your father was... Well that's another matter." She thought aloud.
