So...first time writer here, thought I'd give it a go. This story will be short chapters, but frequent updates (well that's the plan anyway!)

Story will be told by Bella, but we might get a peek into Edward's head every now and then.

Rated M so don't read if you're not legal :-)

I do not own anything. Nada.

Chapter 1

"Heads up,"came the cry, although of course it was too late. This was my life we were talking about, and it was filled with a million and one incidents just like this one.

I was knocked over, literally, and I didn't need to look up to see who had delivered the blow. Edward Cullen. Fuck my life - again.

There was once a time when Edward Cullen was my world. The cream to my cheese, the yin to my yang...the mother fucking Robin to my Batman. That's right, he was my wingman. There wasn't a time when I couldn't remember him by my side. Our mothers liked to joke that Edward came into the world two weeks early because I had already arrived and he didn't want to miss any of it. I snorted to myself, my how things had changed.

"Sorry, ducky," my former best friend yelled to the giggles and delight of his faithful followers. He'd taken to calling me 'ducky'. One of his harem - I believe it was Kate- laughingly said my name was misleading. There was no way I could be a swan, so ducky was short for ugly duckling. Original, right? Well no-one ever said that his fan club posessed a brain cell between them. For such a smart guy, he sure did surround himself with bimbos. Though, something tells me he didn't like them for their brains.

I shot my middle finger up in the air and hauled ass to my dorm. As much as I didn't give a shit about those vapid girls, every word, every gesture - hell, every look that Edward sent me was a dagger through the heart. As I collapsed on my bed, I wondered how the hell things got this bad. Not that it was a mystery really, I was there for the whole train wreck. What I didn't get though, was how a little slip of a girl called Alice would be the start of it all.

Okay. So there's the beginning. Hope you liked...please let me know if it should be continued (or if I should just totally give up!).

Cheers
