Chapter 1: From the start...

Bella POV

I didn't know how it would turn out but the feeling in my heart told me that it would. And when you look at it like that how can you doubt your heart?

I moved to Forks not long ago to live with my father not the best decision I have ever made but one that I will stick to in silence, not uttering the words that would send my fathers world crashing down "I want to go home!" This was my home now it was just something I would have to get used to…..I guess.

"Bella, dinners ready" my dad shouted up the stairs with emotion that can only be described as complete happiness, he really did love having me back.

"Coming Charlie…I mean dad, just getting my stuff ready for school tomorrow" dang it I really have to get used to calling him Dad now. Sigh school. GAH could this get any worse, school where I never fit in, even in Jacksonville I didn't fit in sure I had some people I would just sit and have lunch with but I just never belonged. My mum said that I old for my age but it doesn't matter as long as I'm Ok with being me and I am, I think?

Midway down the stairs I could smell something that was beyond disgusting "what on earth" I wondered as I rounded the corner to the kitchen I found the source of the smell…dads cooking oh dear.

"Erm dad whatcha making??" I tried to keep the fear from my voice but it didn't work he just smiled ruefully and swept his hand along the numerous pots and pans that now cluttered the already small kitchen

"Well Bells, I just wanted to make you a home coming meal, I've not really cooked much since well… you know…anyway erm you want pizza??" He blushed at his lack of culinary expertise. I think I will have to enrol him in a course or do it my self from now on, it may save a few trips to the emergency room.

"Hmmm pizza sounds great, can I have a meat feast no ham!! I hate ham!" Charlie looked at me for a moment before muttering something about fussy teenagers and how I was just like mum but his eye gave him away he was happy.

After pizza and the guilty feeling that immediately followed, I really will cook from now on I promised my self. I walked slowly up stairs and had a shower; I stared in the mirror for a long time imagining the horrors that awaited me tomorrow at school, people staring asking questions deciding just how interesting I really was. I hoped they would decide that I was amazingly uninteresting and therefore the unfortunate spot light that would no doubt be shining on me would move or fade. Fading spot light was probably the most likely I could hope for.

After a night of restless sleep and the feeling of impending doom (I really hate starting a new school) I ate my breakfast and waved Charlie off in his police cruiser – he was the chief of police in this tiny town, so no doubt he would know how my first day of school would have gone before I had a chance to decide for my self how it was. My truck roared to life...great more unneeded attention but it was really pretty and was just my style so I could live with it.

Chapter 2: the first day of the rest of my life

Bella POV

Ok I have to admit my first day at Forks high wasn't so bad. I didn't have to introduce my self to the entire class in my lessons which was a bonus; I did however get 101 questions from those nearest to me. By lunch I had made a few friends and I went to sit with them in the lunch room, there were a few hushed whispers as I walked past but I focused ahead my eyes trained directly on the table which was my target. Lunch began to pass quickly when all of a sudden everything went quiet. I'm not lying you could feel the tension in the air, I turned to ask a girl who's name I think was Jessica what was going on when THEY walked in.

They moved with such grace it was hard not to be mesmerised by them all and if that wasn't bad enough I made the mistake of glancing up to their faces. I gasped and I swear I saw the small brunette turn to look at me but she couldn't have heard me she was over the other side?!.

Jessica leaned over and whispered in my ear "I know they are all gorgeous but complete freaks!!"

I stared at her in utter shock I couldn't believe she had said that with such venom in her voice.

"Jesssss don't start ok just get over it already he isn't worth it" the girl I remembered was called Angela pleaded. I raised my eyebrow at Angela it was clear there was more to this story and I just HAD to know, I couldn't understand why someone could be so angry at people who were simply breathtaking.

Angela decided that she would explain as Jess was still in the middle of glaring at the group. "Jess kinda has a thing for one of them, only he isn't interested, she hasn't taken the news to well" she smiled slightly but not in a mean way but a shy smile, I decided I liked Angela.

"Well who are they? They look like models or something" my curiosity was getting the better of me but heck I wanted to know

"The tall muscular one who looks like a Greek god is Emmett, he's kinda goofy makes a lot of jokes from what I hear, he goes out with the blonde bombshell Rosalie. The small brunette is Alice she tends to look like she day dreaming a lot but otherwise she seems nice she happens to be going out with Jasper the one who she's holding onto like he's about to run off or kill someone…"

Out of the corner of my eye I swear I saw her smile again, Ok this w as getting a bit strange. As I looked at them all in turn matching the descriptions to the faces I came to the end of this line I saw HIM, the most beautiful boy I have ever laid eyes on, he looked sad and kind of lonely hmm makes too of us then I thought.

"Who's their friend??" I asked my words came out hurried I needed to know who he was.

"Oh that's Edward he would be the one that Jess isn't happy with" she giggled slightly "and he's not their friend they are all related" my face obviously showed confusion, ok they related but dating?

"What she means is that Jasper and Rosalie are twins and the other 3 are all from various other people. Mr and Mrs Cullen adopted them or something so they all live together which I might add is really creepy!" Jess was starting to annoy me now she was being so judgemental I mean how lucky are they - although the situations that led them to meet would be no doubt sad and possibly tragic but they met each other all the same how could you judge a person harshly for that??

"Jess behave you know it's not like that your just being mean coz Edward isn't interested in dating you. She thinks of it as declaring war only he doesn't know he's fighting one" again she giggled covering her mouth as Jess glared at her.

"hey he shows no interest in anyone thank you very much…so seriously Bella don't get attached he wont even give you the time of day" At that moment we all looked over to the table and saw Edward staring over at us. Had he heard us?? Impossible right? We all quickly looking away exchanging embarrassed smiles, I could feel the blush colour my cheeks ahh man no fair!!

The bell rang and I said my goodbyes to the girls I would see them last period in gym – oh how I looked forward to that lesson I am so uncoordinated its unnatural.

I walked into my science lesson and saw that we would be covering something I had already done in Jacksonville so this would be a very boring hour indeed. That was until Mr Jones pointed out my seat as I looked up I inwardly thanked who ever was in charge of dishing out the luck as there sat Edward. I made my way carefully towards the table stubbing my toe hard on the corner of the metal desk ouch! I think I feel blood ohhh so not good, I'm gonna have to wait till Dad gets home to look at it, if there is any blood then it is certified that I will have a hissy fit there and then. I looked up again blushing when I saw Edward's expression change, it was well murderous. I hesitantly sat next to him going through what could have happened in the last 50 seconds to make him seem so mad…my mind drew a big fat blank. As I sat down I could see him lean as far away from me as possible wow how had I managed that one?

The rest of the lesson went like this, him leaning far away from me clutching the edge of the desk looking angry and in pain at the same time, was that possible? The bell finally went - along with Edward, he moved so fast it was mind blowing to witness. I trudged to gym feeling beyond bad and starting to feel a little angry, what was his problem?? Why was he being so mean for no reason I mean I hadn't even spoken to me how could he instantly hate me like that?
