I don't own Twilight, just borrowing the characters from SM. Please enjoy this is my first fanfic.

Chapter 1: The beginning (BPOV)

I was a junior in high school, poplar to a degree. I was friends with all the cliques from the jocks, stoners, geeks and even the yuppies. It all started freshman year, my best friend Alice & I got into a fight with Tanya the slut of the school who was a junior. Tanya was hitting on Riley and telling people they were back together. Riley was older than us and when Alice caught wind of this she got really pissed. She asked him if it was true but he denied it, should've knew better than to believe him the rat bastard. Alice was a small girl, very lean, not tall at all and had spiky hair and piercings; not at all intimidating but when you messed with her man…look out she was out for blood. I initially went with her to smoker's corner just to back her up since Tanya had brought her friend Kate. They were talking shit to each other, Tanya saying Alice would never be woman enough to keep Riley, that's all it took and the fight began. Tanya had hit Alice a few times in the face, but Alice got a few licks in herself. Tanya gave Kate some kind of signal to jump in but I saw it and grabbed her by the hair, pulled her back and punched her in the face. Nobody was gonna hurt my best friend, not on my watch.

My older brother Emmett taught me how to fight so I knew I could handle myself. Before I jumped in to the fight, my father's words went thru my mind. He'd once told me "If you ever have to fight make sure you believe in what you are fighting for is right". I knew he'd get mad at me since I'd been in several fights before. That's why my mother, Renee, sent me to live with him; I kept getting into trouble back at school in Chicago. She even tried to put me in Catholic school but my "filthy' mouth got me kicked out of there too. Last resort was to send me here with my father Charlie.

I hit Kate so hard, I think I broke her nose because there was blood everywhere and then Tanya charged me. She went to hit me in the face but I was quicker than she was and I tripped her and pushed her to the ground. I got up on top of her and beat her good. Someone yelled the narks were coming so we split up. Alice had a fat lip and her eye was swollen, I only had a few scratches but felt bad that I didn't jump in sooner. They took Alice to the office along with Tanya, of course Tanya lied and said Alice started it but before they got too far I came running up and told the truth. Tanya was doing drugs, she made a point in telling us while the two were bitching that she dropped acid. Nobody said anything about how I was involved since they knew my father would probably get mad.

I was on my way to gym glass, my favorite class of the day, when a senior girl named Carmen came up to me. She said "is it true? You beat Tanya's ass this morning? You're Bella right?" I just looked at her and shook my head and kept walking. Several more people approached me and asked the same thing again, I didn't know what was going on or what to say so I just said "ya it was me and I didn't do it all by myself, Alice did most of the damage" I figured this way people would leave us alone if it came down to someone else wanting to start something.

My friend Jacob came running up to me before I got to the locker room and said "B, you should the damage you did! Her eyes are already getting black! Emmett would be so proud but your father is probably gonna kick your ass. How ya gonna explain this fight?" I glared at him and said "I know Jake, but they didn't take me down to the office yet so let's just see what happens. If Charlie gets the call, I'll figure it out at that time. I'll see you at lunch." Jake and I had a strange friendship, he was beautiful in every way; tall dark and handsome but there wasn't much spark. Actually there was no spark at all. We could banter like we'd known each other for lifetimes. I had met him a few years back when I'd come to visit my father for a month each summer. His dad & my father were best friends since they were in high school. We'd hang out, go fishing, play some basketball, watched lame 80's movies or listen to music. I loved music but more on that later…

By the time lunch came around, all the kids moved outta my way when I went to get my tray for lunch. Some girl I didn't even know offered to buy my fries and chocolate milk; I didn't know what to say so I said sure. I was dying for a smoke but knew if I got caught in the bathroom I'd get detention. I took the chance and went to the bathroom that mostly only the stoners went to and had a cigarette. That's when I met Angela; she didn't look like your average stoner. She was actually the pastor's daughter so she portrayed that angelic look and then changed when she got to school. She'd show up wearing these long skirts and button down long sleeve blouses and then go in and change into her leather pants, biker boots and rock shirts. She asked me if I had a light and extra smoke. I gave it to her and started bullshitting about nothing in particular, it turned out we had math class together but I'd never really noticed her because she sat in the back with that horrible girl Jessica Stanley. What I liked about Ang was that we didn't have to keep a conversation going, silence was good. She turned out to be pretty cool, gave me her number and said we should hang out.

Alice sent me a text that she got suspended for 3 days because of the fight but they made an exception and gave her in school suspension instead of out of school suspension. The difference, her parents wouldn't ever find out. Alice's parents were real assholes to her; her dad slapped her around a lot and she got grounded for the stupidest things. One day she came over with a huge bruise on her cheek, I asked what happened and she said "My dad hit me because I don't want to go to my aunts for the summer". Her mom, she was a drunk and pill popper. Nobody ever really talked about her, she did some weird things when she drank and told Alice some even weirder shit too. We never knew what was going to happen from day to day. I told my father about the smack and he went over there in an "official" capacity and warned Mr. King that if he hit the girl again, he'd be calling child services. Needless to say he didn't hit her again but did his best to ignore Alice as much as possible. Later we found out that Royce wasn't her biological father, her mom had an affair and Alice was the result. She was devastated to say the least but I told her that we'd find out the truth and maybe locate her real father later. My father looked at Alice as another daughter. It warmed my heart that Charlie was such a caring person.

The school year had passed and people didn't tend to mess with me or Alice. We kinda got this reputation of being bad asses because of that fight. Tanya and Kate got into some bigger trouble later that year and were both expelled. It turned out that Tanya and Kate had been selling weed. Our school had a zero tolerance and they were expelled. Alice and Riley broke up just before summer. Alice was so hurt and heartbroken; she said she was ready to lose her virginity to him because she felt that he was the one. She said she always felt like she had a sixth sense and she could just feel it was right. I had tried to convince her that she should wait but she was determined to do the deed. She was going to surprise him one afternoon after school and went to Riley's house and found the front door was open. She walked in and called his name. She heard some music playing in his room and opened the door. What she saw was not what she had expected; she walked in on Tanya giving Riley a blow job. Kate was there too and was watching the two and playing with herself. She gasped and said "you fucking asshole, how could you do this to me!" He just gave her a smirk and let Tanya keep sucking him off. She ran out of the house crying until she managed to calm down enough to text me to come meet her at the park.
