Chapter 1

Shadow Cullen

"Not another one!" I heard a girl from my Trigonometry class say under her breath. I knew from the tone of her voice that she was talking about me and the rest of the Cullens. It felt deep, but, at least this class was better then I expected because of Edward, my twin brother, being in this class, too. I walked to the back of the room to sit by myself, feeling like the outcast I am in this hell-ridden school.

My name is Shadow Cullen, or AKA the new student attending Forks High School. Yes, I am and will forever be Edward Cullens baby twin sister from birth. I was saved by Carlisle the same time my brother was, well actually, after him, but from the same Spanish Influenza he had. That everyone had.

I pushed a strand of my crimson red hair behind my ear to make the black and crimson mixed colour it usually is. My natural hair colour is bronze like Edwards, but I die it every year.

My eyes when I'm not hungry, like now for instant, was a dangerously light gold that, if brought any lighter, would be a crystal clear white. Like the rest of my family. When I'm hungry, my eyes to from the clear gold colour all the way to a deep shade of black. Like the rest of my family.

I already knew that girl Isabella Swan, AKA Bella, thanks to the fact that I overheard them talking when I was working at my old job as a waitress in 'La Bella Italia'.

I thought that this school would be good considering that I was good a trying to fit in.

I wanted it to be lunch already, even though I didn't know if I was sitting with Edward and that girl he loved, or with Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. I would probably choose to either sit with my brother or by myself.

I decided to pick the easiest choice and sit by myself that way neither Edward, nor the others would get mad at me. Mostly Elizabeth. She always tries to kill me after calling Rosalie a certain something. It was always worse when she was hungry, like now. Then, she would kill me. She would just try and wait for Edward not to be around otherwise Edward would kick her butt twice as heard as she tried to kick mine. Which I thought was impossible.

I heard a bell ring in the classroom. Everyone started walking out of the room, so, I did the same but I was stopped by a hand on my right shoulder. I looked over to see Edward.

"What do you want?" I asked him, annoyed since I thought he was going to get on my nerves by him reading my mind when I had-and-still no idea of where to go next.

"Lunch. You're either sitting with Bella and I or no where at all." Edward ordered.

In the blink of an eye, my brother was gone. I stomped my foot on the ground in all anger possible to get towards him for ordering me around. I was so hoping that Alice or Jasper would show up and tell me to sit with them. I started to walk to the lunchroom to see that Edward was walking with someone. That someone was Bella. I decided to be me and sit by myself at an empty table in the very back.

After about three minutes of sitting there doodling pictures of mini-angels, I saw Edward gibe me a look. Not just any look, it was a look that said 'Get your ass over here before I drag it over.'

I did nothing and gave him a look that had 'No! Can't make me loser! Nah!' written all over it. I then saw him say something to Bella that from my view made him look like he was leaving for a minute. He did, but, he walked over to me and sat down.

"You. Table with Bella and I. Now." Edward order me.

"Nope." I refused.

"You little-" Edward said giving me an angry glare.

"I know I am." I said with a half smile.

"Fine…Ghosty." Edward said then gave me an evil smile and stood up.

I cringed at the hated nickname. It was really starting to piss me off.

"You know what Eddy…I'm never going to sit with you." I said and then smirked knowing I got him back.

His left eye twitched at the nickname. He suddenly walked over to his table with Bella, but, he didn't sit down. I saw that girl stand up with him. The two began to walk to the table where I was sitting. At this point, all I could do was cover my face with my hands in annoyance. The two sat down. Edward sat next to me and Bella sat across from Edward but looked at me. I put my hands down on the table and almost lifted myself all the way up to stand. The thing is, Edward put his hand on my head and pushed back down into my chair.

"I despise you!" I hissed at him like a snake.

"Good for you. Bella, this is my twin sister, Shadow." Edward said to me, well the first part, and to Bella.

"Nice to meet you Shadow." Bella said with a small smile.

"Yeah, yeah, it always is. Look here Edward, I have no idea why you insist on me hanging around with you just because I'm like, two minutes younger they you! You…you…you showoff!" I said in complete anger and annoyance then a few minutes ago.

I tried again to stand up and it was successful, for a few seconds. I had closed my eyes so as to not look at Edward and walked strait into Elizabeth. She had hair like Rosalie, except black instead of blond. Her eyes were coal black today and she had her arms crossed. When I fell on the ground with a pain filled rear. I looked up at her.

"What is it with this whole family!" I questioned loudly getting some people to stare at us.

"You. Talk to Edward and Bella before I make pretty damn sure you're not being stubborn! GET IT? GOT IT? GOOD!" Elizabeth ordered madly at me for refusing to talk.

"Whatever you say Lizzy." She then turned and walked away fuming.

"God damn! What is with Elizabeth?" I questioned getting up and sitting back next to Bella.

"You it seems." Edward said with his crooked smile.

"Shut it Edward!" I hissed again.

"Sorry about Shadows anger. She's never really like this unless she's heard something offensive about herself. Usually she's all smiles." Edward explained to Bella in a serious tone of apology to Bella about my behavior.

"It's perfectly fine." Bella said looking at me.

"What was said about you?" I heard Edward asked my actually caring about me like a real brother would, which he was.

"It wasn't really about me, but all of the Cullens put together." I said looking down at the table in sorrow.

"What?" Bella asked actually sounding like she was going to kill whoever said it.

"A girl in Trig had said 'Not another one!' After I said my name in class.

"Shadow…it's okay. No worries about it. I probably know who it was anyways. She always hated us since Emmett turned her down on a date offer. Edward said leaning forward.

"Little flirty bitch." I muttered under my breath about the girl who hated Cullen children.

Then I spent the rest of lunch talking to Edward and Bella. I learned that she already knew about us being vampires.

I went the rest of the day in a better mood. Except in biology, thanks to an annoying teacher that put me in a three person project with Edward Bella.

"Meet us at the car this afternoon, ok Shadow." Edward said.

"KK." I replied and then smiled.

It was finally the end of the school day well, after I turned in my signed sheet. I gave it to the lady at the front desk as she asked me how my first day had gone by. I had said it was good but not exactly what I planned. It went better then I planned.

I then met up wit Edward Bella in his sliver Volvo.

I spent the whole night thinking about how my day would be.

More than likely a problem since Edward would make me skip one of my classes.

'All's fair in love and war' I thought to myself when we were going back home.
