A/N Bella's a vamp, so is everyone who is supposed to b except for Edward Masen. He's human. Bella isn't a klutz, and she's kinda...different. She's not shy, but she keeps to herself most of the time. Oh, and this was co-written by myself (Skittles) and my bff Linnie the pooh. ha lol. its an inside joke.

Another day of school. Wonderful. Eighty-three years of learning the same stuff only made it more boring. I mean, once you had a bachelors in Business, and a total of over 40 years studying and majoring in Biology, you pretty much know everything right? Too bad people at school didn't know that. But, then again, if they did, we would be in serious trouble.

And so I dragged myself off of my bed to take a shower, warming the water up so that it relaxed my muscles and revived me. Not that I had been sleeping. I wish I could. It would easily do away with the extra time at night. I had been lying on my bed listening to my favorite songs on my iPod. They were composed of Debussy, Bach, Fall Out Boy, and Linkin Park. A weird mix, but my favorites all the same. I could hear Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett getting ready now as well. Alice was a shop-aholic pixie. She went to the mall every chance she had and critiqued us on everything we wore. She had stayed back during one of the hunting trips while the rest of us went and we all came back to newly re-arranged and refurbished closets. Knowing me, she had filled in the space with a mix of girly-girl, sporty, and rocker. A strange set, but it was perfect for me. Feeling more distanced from everyone today, I settled for a pair of dark-wash skinny jeans, a black and white hearts belt, and a blue Aeropostale top with black strapped heels. I looked in the mirror at the girl staring back at me. She had dark brown wavy hair with light but natural bronze streaks. Her eyes were a deep gold and her lips were full and red. Her body was slim but curvy, and showed signs of an athlete in her lean muscles.

After glancing up and down a few more times, I decided that I was presentable for Alice and the rest of the world as is. I grabbed my backpack and practically flew downstairs at vampire speed. I loved it; the feeling of power and freedom that came from being inhumanely fast. I met everyone at the bottom of the stairs ready to go. I quickly said goodbye to Esme and Carlisle and got in my '07 Silver Audi TT with Alice at my side and Jasper in the backseat. Rosalie and Emmett were going in Rose's Red Ferrari. Jasper was staring at Alice again. Ugh. They were married, but the public story was that they were dating. Every time he saw her he looked like a blind man staring at the sun for the first time.

As I drove us to school, I thought about my family and my life now, and my life from before. Only three people in our family had powers. Alice could see the future; Jasper could feel and manipulate emotions. My power was similar to Jasper's. Only, I manipulated people's minds and read them at will. I could also provide a shield that protected anyone within it from mind attacks from other vampires. Anything that wasn't a physical attack was blocked. Mind reading, false pain, emotion control…

Emotions… I was just beginning to control mine myself. Unlike other vampires, I couldn't let go of what happened to me in my human life. I couldn't forget the one I loved, and why we weren't together. My whole family knew about my past.

(FLASHBACK)

My parents and I were caught in the burning blaze that was out mansion on fire in the dry August of 1925. By the time we got to the hospital, they both were dead. With my parents gone, the only person left to love me was my boyfriend. He was my soul-mate. We had been friends since birth and he was my other half. I remember that he had stayed endlessly by my side telling me that it was going to be alright and that he loved me. The pain was so bad that I couldn't tell if I was hallucinating of not. I didn't want to leave him. Anywhere without him was hell. I was being tugged into the blackness. I was conscious enough only to hear the young blonde doctor say that I was dead. I couldn't be dead. I heard him. Did that mean that I was an angel then? No, that couldn't be it. My heart had been beating weakly at that point. Very weakly… Carlisle brought me to the morgue where we were alone. As my life was leaving me, and the pain of the burns left me, a new searing pain lit my veins. Not again. I recall screaming

"Not again! Get my away from the fire! Not again!"

The last word that I uttered before falling into the coma-like state was his name.

"Edward."

I snapped out of my reverie as we pulled into the parking lot of Forks High School. I sighed, and stepped out of the car as Rose and Emmett arrived. Emmett was like a giant bear of a brother. No kidding, he was HUGE. But he was just a giant ball of fluff and love on the inside. Rosalie was the most beautiful person in the world. Although, if you asked certain guys at the school, some said that I could give her a run. Yea right; I knew I was beautiful, but not that much. As I trudged up the steps ahead of my family, I heard the all-too familiar voice of Mike Newton. Ugh. This kid was ANNOYING. He had been after me since freshman year, and we were both juniors now and he still hadn't let up. I mean, he was sweet and all, but my heart ached for another. It ached for an impossible being from my past named Edward.

"Heyy Bella!" he shouted as he came to stand next to me. I swear, his smile literally took up his entire face when he saw me. I tried to smile, but I wasn't in the best mood right now. I saw in his mind that it came out more like a grimace. Oops.

"Hi Mike. Sorry, but I'm not in the best mood for conversation right now…" I said while trying to sound kind of nice.

"Oh it's ok. I'll see you later sometime then maybe?" he asked with his voice hopeful as he left.

"Yea, sure. Whatever." I mumbled low enough for only me to hear.

Ugh! I HAD to get a grip on myself. Over eighty years later, and I'm still not over him? I needed help.

Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper were all seniors, so I didn't have any classes with them besides lunch. Alice and I had Biology and English literature together. I had world history with Mrs. Warner first. Great. It would be the perfect class to sleep through in the morning; that is if I could sleep. I sighed again and took my seat in the back of the class at my empty table. No one sat there but me. Since I had been wrapped up in my own world, I hadn't paid any attention to the thoughts of everyone around me. Only now was I beginning to take all the school gossip in. Lauren was planning on asking Eric out after lunch, but she wanted to make sure that he liked her first. Jacob was thinking about how great I looked today. Ugh. Jacob was one of my close friends, but sometimes he was just plain over-the-top with his thoughts about me. He was nice, and well muscled, but he could be a real idiot and pretty stupid sometimes. It got especially annoying when it came to the topic of his adoration of me. I quickly changed his thoughts to something more suitable.

"Ugh. I hate this class. The teacher's horrible and the stuff is stupid. I mean, who cares who won the Revolutionary War?" I made him think.

And then I heard something that only lightly caught my attention.

"Omg. I can't wait till I meet the new kid! Lauren told me that he was supposed to be REALLLY HOT! Like, totally perfect. He'll probably fall for me as soon as he sees me. Even Bella CULLEN can't stand up to me when it comes to guys. she scoffed at me in her head I mean, she's kind of pretty, but she's so WEIRD. Who would like that emo-freak anyways? Ugh. Jacob and Mike would. The two HOTTEST guys at school, and she turns them down…" Jessica thought.

I rolled my eyes. Jessica was the most popular girl at school. She was a pretty big slut too though. I really didn't care for her mindless chatter. I was ever so grateful that I had the ability to block out other people's thoughts. I mean, come on! Falling for a guy before you've even SEEN him? That's low. Hopefully he won't be another addition to my stalkers. Two guys were enough. I looked over at the clock. It was 7:55, which left five more minutes to kill before class. I took out my iPod and put the earphones in my ears. I was listening to my favorite song "Time is running out" by Muse, when I heard a crash near me. I looked at where the sound came from and saw him. He was a beautiful bronze-haired god. He was holding his foot and jumping up and down on the other foot. I saw the books on the floor and realized that he had dropped them on his foot. I struggled to keep in a laugh. He was obviously new, and I didn't want to seem stuck-up and snobby. There was no way that I had seen him before. His eyes were breath-takingly sharp and green. Like emeralds… He had a diamond shaped face and amazingly messy bronze-brown hair. It looked like a tornado had run through it. He was tall and lean, but muscled.

I made myself snap out of my daze. Only about two seconds had passed since I had first seen this Greek god. (proceeds to have internal argument with herself in her head)

"Ugh. No Bella! He might as well be a jerk! Besides, what about Edward?!"

"Well, weren't you just saying that I needed to get over him? That it had been too long? He's the perfect guy!"

"No. I refuse. I'll be polite and I'll be his friend, but nothing more."

Having lost my battle with myself, or won, I don't know… I peered back at him. He was on the floor now, picking up his books. I leaned down to help him.

"Here you go." I politely said, giving his textbook.

"Thanks. Ow, jeez that hurt." He replied.

I giggled at his comment that was meant only for himself I guess.

"Hi. I'm Isabella Cullen. But you can call me Bella. You must be new here." I said holding out my hand.

"Hi Bella. I'm Edward Masen."

No…nonononoNO! He….can't….not MY EDWARD!! My thoughts were muddled and confused as I realized that he shared the same name as my long lost love.

"Chill Bella, he's probably a descendant or something, or maybe he's not even related to the Edward you knew! Maybe it's just a random chance of name." My conscious told me.

"Bella?" I turned around again as he quietly called my name.

"Yes?" As I assessed his scent, I realized that he even SMELLED the same; although it could just be cologne.

"Is something wrong?" he asked, sounding and looking concerned.

"No, why would you ask that?" I whispered back. I tried quickly as I could to put my mask back on, my mask of happiness.

"It's just…nothing. Say, could I sit here? All of the other seats are taken." He dropped the subject abruptly. I wondered what he had seen.

"Oh yea, sure." Well, he seems nice enough. It looked as if he had peered through my façade though. Just for a moment.

Halfway through class I got a text message. It was from Alice:

B,

Omg! I can't believe ur sitting next to Edward Masen! He's cute! Wait, isn't that the same name as the guy from ur past?? I just had a vision of you two in the woods alone. In a meadow it looks like. Something special is gonna happen! I can feel it! :D

Da best shopaholic ever

That was Alice alright. Her power was that she could see into the future. She was like an over-caffeinated pixy. Her short, spiky black hair just added to her hyper aura. I sent a text back.

Da best shopaholic ever,

Yes I'm sitting next to him. Yes, my love's name was Edward Masen. I don't know how that can happen. We're only acquaintances. He IS very good looking though. I have to admit that much. He even smells the same. It might be cologne, but I'm not sure. I'm only gonna be friends. Its not like he's been re-incarnated or something. Lol. :P

Love you, B

I hit send and looked back up at the teacher. He was assigning us partners for our next project. We were to study the different rulers in different parts of the world in different eras. Jacob and Lauren were partnered up to do Julius Caesar. Jessica and Eric were doing Alexander the great, and Edward and I were to be doing Napoleon. I told him that we should meet up sometime after school to get information. As the bell rang, I got up, gathered my things and practically ran to my locker. I needed to talk to Alice.

(EPOV)

It was 7:50. Crap. I was going to be late if I didn't get moving. I stepped out of my Volvo and started walking towards the main office. The lady there gave me some papers to fill out and bring back at the end of the day. She gave me this weird look as I was taking the papers; like she was trying to tell me something. I could still feel her gaze on me as I left. I jogged over to my first class, World history. I went to the teacher and gave him my slip to sign. I looked around and saw only one chair open in the back. Sitting next to it was this beautiful brunette. An angel. Her eyes were closed as she listened to her iPod. Shaking her head back and forth to the music, pieces of her shiny chocolate hair fell down. I stopped breathing; I was in such marvel of this goddess. She seemed perfect. Even not knowing what her personality was like, I felt a pull towards her. Like she was meant for me; as if I knew her from some other time, long ago. I couldn't remember why. Surely if I had met her before, I wouldn't be able to forget such a pretty face. I walked back to her table and not taking my eyes off of her, I set my books down on the table. Or at least, I thought I did. My books missed the table and came crashing down on my foot. Ow, shoot! Darn….crap!! that hurt! I clutched my foot in hand and jumped up and down on the other.

"Wow. Great first impression Edward." I thought to myself.

The whole class (including her) was now turned and staring at me.

"She probably thinks I'm a klutz now" I thought.

The pain started to numb, so I bended down to pick up my books. I looked down to see a pair of ivory white hands handing me my textbook.

"Here you go" the angel said. Her voice was like wind chimes fluttering in a breeze.

"Thanks. Ow, jeez that hurt" I muttered to no one in particular. She giggled. I guess she heard my pain. It was music to my ears! I had a strange sense to close my eyes and hug her, but of course that didn't happen.

"Hi. I'm Bella Cullen. You must be new here." She said holding out her hand.

I took her hand and shook it while introducing myself.

"Hi Bella. I'm Edward Masen." And then the strangest thing happened.

She pulled her hand out of mine and turned away in a blur. I didn't know what I did. I looked towards her eyes. They were an adorable shade gold. How could that be? Contacts maybe? They were amazing even though I saw that they reflected much pain. I tried to think of what I could've said to cause this angel pain. I couldn't stand it. I would die a million deaths over to see that pain disappear and her smile return.

"Bella?" I decided to ask her what happened.

"Yes?"

"Is something wrong?" I asked, probably with my concern showing through and on my face.

"No, why would you ask that?" she said. At that moment, her eyes seemed to glaze over. As if this new happiness was forcibly put there.

"It's just…nothing." I made up my mind to let the subject drop. No need to bring pain to an angel.

"Say, could I sit here? All the other seats are taken." I hoped she didn't think that I was some pathetic loser…

"Oh, yea sure." She agreed. Thank god. Although, even if all of the other seats were empty, I would still want to sit next to her.

Class continued on very boringly. That was to be expected. We were set up with partners to study rulers from different parts of the world in different eras. By some lucky chance, I was paired with Bella. We were to study Napoleon. Since class was about over, she asked me if we could meet up after school one day to get information or something. I agreed. Anything to spend time with her… oh crap. Jeez, I was horribly whipped. The bell rang and I was off to gym. I wondered what class Bella had, but decided against asking her. I didn't want to seem stalker-ish. She rushed out of the room as soon as she had her materials. Was I that horrid that she hated me already? I don't know. Who knew with girls sometimes. I remembered one of my friends from New York comparing them to time bombs. With the right word, right tone, and right moment, any girl could go from being super nice to being so in your face that you would want to sulk in a corner and not say a word. And what's even worse that that, he said, is when all of her "bffs" came and shouted in your face for making her so upset. The occasional ones even hit him. I laughed at the memory. I got to gym with time to spare, and recognized two of the guys that had been in my last class. I was pretty sure that the one with the tan skin and black hair was Jacob Black. And the one with the blonde hair was Mike Newton. I walked over to them and said hi.

"Hey dude! You're Edward right?" Jacob asked.

"Yea that's me" I mumbled.

"Dude, you're SO lucky that you get to sit next to Bella!" Mike whispered. Apparently, he didn't want his love for Bella to be known, although I had a feeling that most people already knew.

"Do you guys knew her?" I questioned. Maybe I could learn about her through them.

"Yea! Mike's talked to her everyday since freshman year pretty much. They're friends, but she still doesn't like him. I'm Jacob. Bella and I have been buds for a while now. She gets pretty peeved whenever I bring up anything remotely connecting to her hotness though. I don't know why." Jacob explained.

"Has she ever dated anyone?" I asked, not afraid of what they might think, seeing as they felt the same way about her.

"Not that we know. She usually sticks to her family pretty tight. She goes to the dances and everything with them; dances only with them. Emmett and Rosalie are going out. And so are Jasper and Alice. They aren't related though. Well, Jasper and Rosalie are twins, but they were all adopted by Carlisle Cullen and his wife, Esme."

"Huh." I thought. So Bella was the fifth-wheel. All alone. But…why? When she had so many guys on the floor for her, why not try one? Had her "type" not come along yet? Maybe I could be that one… just maybe.

(BPOV)

"Alice!" I yelled across the hallway. I had waited another 3 periods to talk to her, and now it was lunchtime. Perfect. I needed to talk to that girl right now.

"Ok Bella, calm down. I know you want to talk to me about your Edwards, but not HERE. People can LISTEN." She said pointing to her ears like I was stupid.

"Yea, whatever; out by my car then. It's lunchtime anyways." I stubbornly replied.

We walked out to my Audi, and Alice got herself nice and comfy in the leather seats.

"Can I begin?" I impatiently asked.

"Wait, ok now you may. The last vampire just say down for lunch."

"What do I do Alice?! I mean, he's sweet, and hot, and has this dreamy look in his eyes that you could get lost in. But something's weird! Every time I think about him, I think about the same things that I did with MY Edward when we were human. And the same name!! How in the world does he have the same name as him, over 90 years later? One side of me wants to let whatever happens happen. And the other side is…well I don't know WHAT the other side is!" After my little rant, Alice proceeded to calm me down. She put on "Claire de Lune" by Debussy. It always helped me think clearly.

A/N my first cliffie!! lol. not really. please review!! Chapters might be kind of slow since I've got school and honors classes and all that crap. But, I'll try to update as much as I can. :D Go ahead!! Press that little blue button! You know u want to!!
