Ch-1 The Geek

Alright! I AM THE GEEK! I GET IT! I need not be reminded of it each and every SECOND OF MY LIFE! I am fed up of Edward Masen and his freakin' "COOL GANG"! They just wanna make my life hell!

I suppose you are confused. Why not? I am confused. I am the most intelligent student of Forks High School and I study here because I won a scholarship, though nobody knows about that! My parents and boyfriend – Lucas Weber – died in a car accident two years ago. Now, my relatives are searching for someone who could adopt me so that I wouldn't have to move in with them.

It's not like they don't want me there. It's just that the place reminds me too much of my past and I hate that.

Anyway, my name is Isabella Swan but I prefer Bella. Only one person calls me Bella and that is my one and only friend Alice Brandon, who knows my secret. But she is best friends with Edward Masen and his gang, which comprises of Emmett McCarthy – a tall and intimidating guy who is also Edward's cousin and is an idiot when it comes to studies, Rosalie Hale – Emmett's girlfriend and she is the most beautiful girl in the world and the world's biggest bitch, Jasper Whitlock – tall, leonine and Alice's boyfriend and Edward's best friend, Lauren Mallory – the school's most popular girl and also a bitch, and Jessica Stanley – the world's biggest sidekick and the world's biggest slut.

As you can see – none of them have a vocabulary of more than fifty words except for Edward. And all of them HATE me. I need not tell that the feeling is mutual.

Right now, I am sitting in a corner of the cafeteria and reading one of my all time favorites – Wuthering Heights. And I can see the "COOL" gang coming to bully me again.

"So Swan? Back to the classics, huh?", asked Edward.

I did not reply.

"Are you deaf? Or just plain dumb?", asked the nasally voice of Lauren Mallory.

I stood up to go to my next class. I wasn't lucky at all. Edward pulled my bag and out fell its contents. I quickly grabbed the things that had fallen out and saw that my precious locket with Lucas' photograph lying on the ground. I made to pick it up but Rosalie was faster than me.

"Swan! Did you steal it from someone? Because it's certainly not in your – uh – budget", she said.

"Just give it back", I said.

"Oooooh! Little Belly-boo wants her locket back?", asked Lauren in a baby-ish voice.

I could feel the tears prickling my eyes and held my hand out for the locket. Rosalie winked at Emmett – who winked back – and threw it to him. He caught it at once and crushed it under his shoe.

I froze.

And then everything went black.
