I've come across a new town. It's small and tends to rain a lot. It's my second day here in Forks and I've enrolled in school-Forks High School to be more precise. I'm currently driving my Sedan into the parking lot of the school; today is my first day.
I grab my shoulder bag and walk to the small office building. When I get there, an older woman looks up and smiles at me. "You must be Lillian Fae," she says looking through a stack of papers.
"Yep, that's me." I smile back at her.
"It's nice to have you here. Here is your schedule, dear. Have your teachers fill out this form and sign; once you're done with your first day, just bring it back to me," she tells me.
"Yes, ma'am," I say as she hands me the papers.
Wow, she is so respectful, and pretty too.
Well, thank you.
Did I say that out loud?
Yeah... I start to laugh and walk out the door. I love messing with people, but I can only play with some of them. The lady was nice and I just couldn't help using my telepathy on her.
I look down at my schedule and notice that I have Algebra 2 as my first period. I walk around until I bump right into someone. "Oomph… Watch where you're…-" the person in front of me stops. I can feel them staring, so I look up at them noticing that I had walked into a really tall, muscular guy who seems to be rock hard and glowing. He is huge! I look up and see he has golden eyes and black curly hair hidden under a white baseball hat.
"Sorry, I didn't see you," he says, scratching his neck.
"That's okay, I wasn't paying attention either. I'm trying to get to Algebra 2, do you know where this room is?" I ask him, showing him my schedule.
"Yeah, actually, I'm headed that way myself. My name's Emmett, what's yours?"
"Lillian, but my friends call me Lily." I shrug and he leads me to our destination.
"Cute name. I'm actually in this class, I am just running late this morning." He laughs and when I read his mind, I totally understand why.
Rose is going to be so mad at me. I should've stayed with her, but I love Math.
Along with that, I get several images of him and this "Rose" making out behind the gym. I start laughing and he smiles at me as he opens the door. I walk over to the teacher who fills in their section of the sheet and signs it. She directs me to the only empty seat next to a pixie-like girl. She glares at Emmett and then smiles at me, introducing herself, "Hi, I'm Alice."
I smile back and say, "Lily. What are we working on?"
She shows me the assignment and I copy down the problems and get to work. I wander through my classes rather slowly until I have lunch. When lunchtime rolls around, I'm walking to the cafeteria until someone swirls around me. "Hey Lily, how would you like to sit by me?"
I shrug and we get in line.
Alice is behind me and getting her own lunch. I pay for mine and wait for her to finish getting hers. She walks toward a table that five others are sitting at. I almost immediately notice Emmett sitting there and I start laughing because Rose is sitting next to him smirking at me.
"Something funny, Blondie?" she asks.
"No, not really, but I see you made it to lunch without being late," I say, laughing at Emmett. I share Drama with Rose during third period.
"Just because I was late to Math, doesn't mean I'd be late to lunch," he says, laughing at me.
I told Rose that you spilled the part that you like Math this morning, I think to him.
What? Who the…? He freaks out looking from side to side searching for the source of the voice in his head.
Look at the new girl, I think back.
He looks at me and raises an eyebrow.
BOO! I think at him; he laughs and shakes his head.
"So, I know Alice, Emmett, and Rose, but who are you guys?" I ask the rest of them.
Alice speaks before anyone else can. "The guy with the messy bronze hair is Edward; the girl sitting next to him is Bella, his girlfriend; the hot blond on the end is Jasper, my boyfriend."
As Alice introduces each one of them, they nod and wave and I say, "Hi."
I notice that Bella and I are the only ones eating and once my lunch is gone, I look at Emmett and ask, "Are you going to eat any of that?"
He shakes his head and pushes it to me. After I finish off Emmett's plate, I notice that Alice hasn't touched any of the food she purchased, so I look at her and raise my eyebrow in question and look down at her plate. She says, "go ahead, I'm not really hungry," and Emmett cracks up.
"You're a girl after my own heart."
Rose punches him and he starts to whine, rubbing his arm. "Ow, Rose, that hurt."
We all start laughing as Rose says, "Well then stop flirting with the new girl."
In a second, I hear someone growl. I look up and see Edward glaring at me. I raise my eyebrows. "What?" I ask, looking at him. He instantly looks away.
That was weird.
"Hey, Lily, Bella and I are going shopping after school, and I was wondering if you'd come with us?" Alice asks.
"Yeah, sure, are you going directly after?"
She nods and I smile. I can tell something is wrong when I get a tingly feeling down my back. Shit! Someone senses me! What the hell?
That's when Alice looks at me and her smile grows twice its size.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask.
"We're going to be great friends, the three of us," Alice replies.
Bella is sitting to my right and she leans in to me saying, "Alice is special. She can see the future, just don't tell anyone."
I snicker at the last part. "I won't," I say, flipping my long blond hair back over my shoulder.
We sit here talking until the bell rings. I tell them that I have English next and show them my schedule and Bella speaks up. "Oh, cool! Edward and I have that class next!"
We all get up to leave and I walk over to Rose and give her a hug. Alice walks up to me and says, "Thanks for coming with us after school! Tomorrow's Bella's birthday and I need her to be distracted so I can do some massive party shopping."
I giggle and say, "I'm totally in."
Her grin gets impossibly bigger as she prances off to class. Bella looks back at me and holds out her hand. I run to catch up and link hands with her. When we get to the classroom, I do my slip thing and, again, take the last open seat. We have to read the book the teacher gives us and when he says, "Dracula" I can't help but smile. I raise my hand and the teacher calls on me. "I have a first edition of Dracula and I was wondering if I could use that?"
The teacher is shocked, but says that it's perfectly okay with him. I smile again and take it out of my bag, and start to read as the teacher passes out a packet of worksheets based off of the book. When I get my packet, I flip through it and figure out that it will be an easy assignment, since I've read it about five different times, this being the sixth.
Throughout the period, we read through the book and work on our packets. It turns out to be my favorite period of the day; aside from the feeling of being watched. After English, I have Gym, which turns out to be another class that I have with Bella.
We walk to the locker room together and she talks about how clumsy she is. When we're dressed, we walk out to the gym and stretch. Then I take Bella's hand, grab a basketball, and back up about five feet. "Okay, I'm going to pass it to you, and then I want to see if you can make a hoop," I say to Bella.
She nods and I pass her the ball. She catches it and tosses it toward the basket. I watch her stance and once she goes to step forward, she throws the ball and makes the shot! "Oh, the gods! I thought you said you're clumsy?" I freak.
She got the perfect stance and made the shot! There was no clumsiness about it!
"I usually am. Why are you looking at me like that?" she asks.
"No reason," I say as I get the ball and scoot back so there is seven feet between us. "Okay, now catch!" I shout, throwing the ball. I watch her again and she does it perfectly again.
"This is crazy! I've never gotten two in a row! I can barely do one!" She's ecstatic, but I'm confused and angry.
What the hell? She's been fine all day, when I've seen her. Oh no… I have to try this…
"Okay, try it on your own. I need to go get some water." I walk off without another word and get the water out of my PE locker. I walk back into the gym and Bella looks confused. "Bella, what's wrong?" I ask.
"I tried five times and missed all of them."
"Okay, well, here, I'll toss it to you." I take the ball from her and stand five feet from her again. We spend the rest of gym playing back and forth and each time I toss it to her, she makes it. When I don't, she misses it. I mentally kick myself. I'm supposed to keep hidden, not show off! The funny thing is that Bella thought she was just pathetic either way, so I'd kick her ass a few times. The last time I do, I say, "Stop moping! You're awesome. Don't start thinking that you're pathetic, or you'll be repeatedly beaten by me. Got it?"
She giggles and nods. We run into the locker room and then get changed. Then we go outside to wait for Alice.
"Lily, Bella, come on. Let's go!" She's dangling her keys and we walk over to a cute little yellow car. When we get to the mall, I tell Alice that Bella and I are going to go look at movies and she grins at me. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," I think to her.
"Ah ha! I knew you were special," she thinks back.
I hug her and then take Bella to the movie rental place. We look around and find five different movies. I pick out my favorite Dracula movie called Dracula 2000 starring Gerard Butler, Eragon an awesome movie that is nowhere near as good as the book, and Law Abiding Citizen another Gerard Butler movie. Bella picks Transporter starring Jason Statham, and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. We rent these five awesome movies and head to the food court, with the movies in my shoulder bag.
Even after my three course lunch, I'm still hungry and order a strawberry banana smoothie and a large salty pretzel. Bella orders a bottle of water and a slice of cheese pizza. We sit down to eat and then I notice Alice walk up to us with absolutely nothing except her purse. I raise my eyebrows until she projects, They're all in the trunk.
I nod and finish eating. Once Bella is finished, we drive to the school so that I can get my car. I can come over, right?
"Of course! You got the movies, didn't you?" Alice answers.
"I'll follow you guys," I say getting into my 2010 Volvo S60 Sedan, start it up, and turn my radio on. Once I'm on the road, one of my favorite songs, Without You by David Guetta and Usher.
I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game
Without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I,
Without you, without... You!
Oh oh oh
You you you
Without
You you you
Without you..
Can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're
Estrange
Without you, without you
I can't quit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleep this night
Without you, without you
I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here I'm paralyzed without you, without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
Lost my heart, I lost my mind without you without... You!
Oh oh oh
You you you
Without
You you you
Without you..
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you, WITHOUT YOU

Feels so good being bad
There's no way I'm turning back
Now the pain is my pleasure
Cause nothing could measure
Love is great, love is fine
Out the box, out of line
The affliction of the feeling
Leaves me wanting more
[Chorus x2:]
Cause I may be bad
But I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air
I don't care
I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But chains and whips
Excite me

After listening to a few more songs, we're finally at their house. When I pull in the hidden drive, I can't believe the view. Their house is a glass mansion! It's beautiful! I get out of the car after parking it in the garage. We go into the house and then Alice takes me to the side and hugs me.
Okay, I desperately need your help… we're having a houseboat party and I need Bella's gifts hidden for our family party tomorrow. If you ask, you won't have to repeat it like I would. Please? Please? Please? When she finished thinking to me, her forehead was resting on mine.
I nod and she picks me up and spins me around. I start laughing before she sets me down to go distract Bella.
Boys, Rose, I need help! We've got a trunk full of gifts for tomorrow that need to be hidden from Bella.
Within seconds, Jasper, Emmett, Edward, and Rose are in the room with me. Emmett starts laughing. Dude, her talent is so much cooler than yours.
Edward punches him in the shoulder and I can't help but laugh. I look at Jasper who has been the only one other than Edward that hasn't spoken to me. He's smiling at me and I can't stop the blush. Jasper, don't look at me like that!
"Like what? Like a beauty?" he thinks to me.
"He may not be able to hear me, but I can hear him, that's disturbing," Edward thinks.
"So sorry Brother, but thanks to this little lady, I can hear you."
Edward growls, and Jasper and I just laugh.
"Jealous much?" I think.
"Whatever, I'll put the presents away," Edward thinks back.
"You're different. I just can't put my finger on it," Jasper thinks pointedly at me.
"If you ever do, let me know," I think with a smile.
"Will do. Where are we putting these?" Jasper asks.
"All over the place, anywhere they'll fit; easy for us to find, but hard for Bella to find," I mentally explain.
"Easy enough," Jasper responds.
We put the presents away, well, they do. Everyone but Edward is smiling at me as we walk up to where everyone else is. I notice the sound of dishes clashing. I freak out and run to the kitchen. "Oh, hello, dear; you must be Lily," a pretty mom-like woman says. I nod.
"I thought you were Bella. She's kind of clumsy without me around." I whisper the last part, knowing she heard me.
She smiles and says, "I'm Esme. You should be able…" She is cut off by a handsome guy walking up behind her and grabbing her waist. "As I was saying, you should be able to meet Carlisle soon, but as you can see, he's here."
I smile and look at the new person in the room.
"I've heard someone has made Edward jealous, is this true?" he asks.
I giggle and say, "Yeah, apparently, I'm cooler than he is."
How so? They both think at once.
I can read minds and talk in your heads. I hear them both gasp, knowing full well they don't need to breathe. Fast like lightning and don't eat, and different, never heard of eye colors; they're definitely vampires.
But she's human. Carlisle looks at me, trying to figure me out.
I was born with it, doc.
How'd you…
I heard you thinking about Bella's accident with the truck.
Van…
I laugh, walking to sit at the bar.
"I see why he's jealous," Carlisle says as he and Esme start to laugh.
"Come on, everyone! It's time to go to the houseboat!" Alice yells.
"Why are we going to the houseboat?" Bella asks cautiously, looking at me with scared eyes.
I shrug, smiling. "I have no idea... Come on, Bella, why don't you ride with me?"
Her eyes brighten and she throws herself at me and wraps her legs around my waist. I have to catch myself before I fall, but I look at her and she's leaning into me and instead of freaking out, she's cuddling into me, smiling. "Uh, I take that as a yes."
"I'd love to. You do drive sane, right?" Bella asks, practically pouting.
I laugh and say, "Are you kidding? I only go fifty... anything higher than that scares me."
She smiles even deeper and asks, "So, when are we leaving?"
I look around and everyone is already at the door, waiting for us. "I guess that would be now..."
We both walk out to the car and I start it up. When we start down the driveway, she scoots closer to me, and I look over at her. "Are you okay, Bella? You're acting kind of strange..." I say quietly.
"Lilly, I-I-I want to try something, may I?" she stutters.
"I don't see why not," I say looking from the windshield to Bella and back again.
I hear ruffling and I keep my eyes on the road as I drive until Bella pulls my face toward hers. The next thing I know, her lips are on mine. I pull the car over so that nothing can happen and project, "Bella needs a human minute, she's nearly hyperventilating..."
I hear "Okay" "See you there" and "Have fun..." s from all of the Cullens.
Looking at Bella, I see that she's embarrassed of what she had done, but I don't let it go. "Why all of a sudden?"
"I-I don't know. There's just something that draws me to you. I can't help it..." Bella whispers.
Okay, that's a little different... "Bella," I whisper pulling her chin up so that she's looking at me, "I want you to kiss me again..."
"R-R-Really? I thought..." I interrupt her before she can say anything else. I lean towards her and pull her face closer to mine. I get close to her, but not all the way.
Bella moves in as close as she can and molds her body to mine. Her lips move against mine, and I have a hard time controlling myself. "Bella... this can't... I can't take you from Edward..."
Bella pulls back and frowns. "I didn't think it would be like that... I'm sorry. Please, don't tell Edward." She moves back to her seat and puts her belt on. I do the same and drive on towards the houseboat.
When we get to the houseboat, Bella is the first to get out. I notice Edward glaring at me as he walks Bella up to the entrance. I hear Alice laughing, but the only thoughts I hear from her are song lyrics. Oh my god... that little...
I walk into the houseboat and look for Rosalie. I find her and Emmett hanging out by the bar, making out and I instantly turn the other way looking for someone I know to talk to, when all of a sudden Jasper sneaks up on me.
"Hey, what are you doing by yourself? Why aren't you with Alice? Or Bella?" he asks.
"Really? Do you have to scare me every time we're in the same 100 feet?" I ask giggling.
"Apparently, yes, I do. Now, why aren't you with them?"
"I can't be near Bella, Jas, I just can't... and I'm on the verge of hurting Alice..." I mumble.
"Oh really? Oh, now I get it... that makes sense now..." Jasper says through laughter.
"She did see it, didn't she?" I ask him.
"Hell yeah, she did. She also saw you trying to kick her ass." Jasper wraps his arms around my waist again and I lean into him.
"Do you think I could?" I ask.
"No, probably not... would you try?"
"Not likely."
"Okay, good. I'd hate to see you and my mate get into it. She's calling me, so I need to go. I'll talk to you later, Lily."
I nod and instead of staying inside, I walk into the night air. I notice a big moss covered rock and head towards it and sit down. The rock is right on the border of open air and the nearby forest and it's about 50 feet from the houseboat, so I'll be able to see anyone walking toward me since it's a larger rock. I see Edward walking towards me and I start to shift in my spot. The weird thing is that he has a plate in his hand.
"Okay, Mister Hospitality, what's going on?" I say laughing.
"Bella said that you looked like you needed company, so I brought you some food and some water," he grumbles.
"That's nice of you, thanks." I grab the plate and water bottle, but only open the bottle. "I don't know why, but some reason, somehow... you seem familiar to me, Edward..."
"I used to live in Chicago. I'd always hunt for food for my mom and me..." he says, looking at me through darkened black eyes, of anger.
"I-I haven't been in Chicago... oh my god..."
I've been walking around in the forest talking to Genie, when all of a sudden, I see a copper haired young man setting an animal trap. I walk toward him and snap at him. "What do you think you are doing?"
"I'm fetching dinner for my mother and I. Why?" he replies, taken aback.
"Have you ever thought about the poor animals that you trap?" I give him my fiercest glare, but he still doesn't give up.
"Yes, but my family still needs to eat," he says politely. Damn, giving him my fierce glare only results in politeness.
"Humph… I guess you're right. We wouldn't want you to starve, now would we?" I say, pouting. He really is too good looking to let starve...
"I sure hope not. What's your name, Miss?" he asks, getting up off the ground.
"Lillian Marie Fae, sir."
"There's no need to call me sir, I'm Edward," he says offering me his hand.
"Well, Edward. I should be going. My mother and father are waiting for me." With that, she was gone.
"This can't be... it can't be!" I run off and get into my car. I drive toward the Cullen house, knowing that Carlisle and Esme had stayed behind when we left. I walk in the house and flip on one of the movies I rented. I don't care which one, I just need something to get my mind off of something that happened ninety years ago.
Somehow, I fall asleep watching the movie.
