Hi everyone! I hate author notes, so I hope I don't have very many on my story! Stephanie Meyer owns everything, but the plot. This is my first story so please don't be too harsh! Enjoy! (Edward and the rest are vamps, just so you know)

Bella's POV

Chapter 1: What I wouldn't Kill for a Break

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Squeaked a continuous sound into my ear, which I unsuccessfully tried to drone out. Finally my mind came to a conclusion: this annoying noise was not going to subside on it's own. I felt around to my right where the sound was coming from, and slammed my arm down to try and shut it up. My plan totally backfired.

"Ow!" I screeched at the top of my lungs, really concentrating on not throwing the alarm clock into the wall. Let's just say I have a few anger issues. Okay, maybe a lot, but let's look on the bright side. At least I'm not a psychopathic killer out to murder you. Well, at least I think I'm not . . .

Anyways, the point is, I was in extreme pain. I cradled my hand to my chest, and carefully peeked at it through my eye lashes. Oh no. My hand was starting to swell and go red. This would not be a pretty thing to look at during easy class and hard class.

Now, what I mean by easy class and hard class is exactly what it sounds like. School was an easy class, full of knowledge my mind could easily strive to learn. You rely on your mind at school to succeed, but dance class is all physical. It was an entirely different subject, and yet I still did it.

It wasn't just a hobby, or a way to lose calories. Dance meant so much more to me than that. When I stood on stage, I didn't feel like some big disaster waiting to happen. I felt like the exact opposite. I didn't feel like I wasn't the school's biggest outcast, or the clumsiest girl in the entire world. I felt like . . . me.

Getting back to planet earth, I pulled back my comfortable blankets and headed toward the bathroom. On the way, I grabbed my bag of toiletries off of my desk where I had left them yesterday. I pulled my clothes off, and turned the water on ultra high. Today was the first day from getting off of Spring Break, and I was certainly dreading it. Everyone would be cocky from having no teachers for an entire two weeks. Plus, they'd be way too loud for my taste. There was only one person I was actually excited to see.

As I stepped out of the steaming hot shower, I rolled my hair up into a towel to dry it off after pulling on some jeans, and a long-sleeved T-shirt. I went back into my room, shoving on my sneakers as fast as possible. I tried to throw the towel into the laundry basket, but missed by a long shot. After brushing my hair and eating a pop-tart, I carefully walked outside to my red Chevy. I didn't want to slip and break my ankle. There was already a red mark starting to form on my arm, and it was only the first day back.

When I finally arrived at Forks High School, I heard the sound I had been fearing all day. Noise and the bell. I grabbed my bag from the passenger seat, and rushed off to my first period. The rest of my day basically went like that, up until lunch that is.

When I finally entered the cafeteria, I strode to the lunchroom line, only falling on my face once. It was a big accomplishment for me, believe it or not. I sat at my usual table; which consisted of snobby girls and desperate boys. I pretended to quietly listen to the conversation as my mind ran over my choreography for the big competition that weekend.

I glanced around the lunchroom lazily, not really surprised by what I saw. That was, until my eyes locked with a pair of piercing black ones. The man's hair was a rare shade of bronze, which contrasted perfectly with his pale white skin. His body was lean, but still very toned. The rest of his table were all very handsome and beautiful, but none compared to his exquisiteness.

There were two blondes, a girl and a boy, that were both amazingly elegant. They could be twins. Both were tall and pale white like the bronze haired boy, but they had golden eyes. A short, pixie-like girl with black hair sat next to the blonde boy. Her head lay on his shoulder as she spoke to him softly.

The other blonde was sitting on a burly man's lap. The man had short, curly brown hair, and was like the rest, pale skin and topaz eyes. Except for the bronze haired man, of course. At the moment, the blonde girl and the bronzed haired man were sending simultaneous glares at me. I quickly looked away, but one of the other girls at the table, Jessica, saw me looking.

"Hey, Bella!" Jessica called to me to get my attention. "They're the Cullen's. They just moved here from Alaska. They're all adopted by Doctor Carlisle and Esme Cullen, but they're all, like together," Jessica whispered to me.

"The really short girl is Alice, and she's really weird. The blonde boy that looks like he's in pain is Jasper; they're dating. The blond girl is Rosalie, and she's with the big tough guy, Emmett. They're all lovey-dovey; it's disgusting," I was wondering about the other Cullen, and where his beautiful girlfriend was. Jessica easily read my expression like I was an open book and smiled.

"The super hot one is Edward. I wouldn't get your hopes up, though, because, apparently, none of the girls here are good enough for him." Jessica obviously had learned that lesson for herself, and I was going to comfort her, but the bell rang. I said goodbye and rushed off to Biology.

Half-way to the classroom, my phone started to ring. I impatiently put to my ear, not really in the mood to be late for class on the first day.

"Bella?" asked my personal trainer, Miranda.

"What do you need?" I replied, tapping my foot on the floor intolerantly.

"I'll be there in five minutes to pick you up for practice. Go put on your en Pointe shoes and leotard. See you in a second!" Miranda explained quickly. I said goodbye and ran to the bathroom. Even though it might seem like a blessing to get out of schools for dance, it's the exact opposite. I'm talking twenty hours a week of exhausting workouts and dance. Plus school and homework to top it all off.

All I can say is, what I wouldn't kill for a break.

Please read and review, and I will have next chapter up shortly! Hope you liked it!
