Meteor at Twilight
Chapter One
First Encounter
(A first chapter was actually written by Stephenie Meyer and can be found here: /pdf/midnightsunchapter1.pdf )
I was bored out of my mind, but understandably so. The average high school student is almost always bored when in class, but then again, I wasn't the average high school student. I had already graduated high school, several times in fact. I have also obtained degrees from a couple of colleges, but that's beyond the point. The point was that I was in high school for the umpteenth time and completely uninterested.
I suppose this could be my punishment, my own personal hell, but if it was, why was my family here with me? The voices in the class room, both physical and mental got louder, telling me that class had ended. I gathered my props, several textbooks and assorted school supplies, and headed to the cafeteria for lunch. Not that I would be eating.
The voices got louder as I neared the cafeteria, bouncing around the inside of my head, as annoying as a swarm of misquotes until I managed to tune them down. Sometimes, scratch that, most of the time I cursed this "ability" that allowed me to see so clearly into other's minds. I knew almost every nook and cranny of the human mind. There was nothing that I hadn't heard before, nothing that I wouldn't hear a million times again.
Today the student body was preoccupied with the new blood throw in our midst. In Forks, everyone knew everyone else, their parents grew up together, and their grandparents grew up together, so a new person was somewhat of a fascination to them.
I had seen her from every aspect. Her large brown eyes that brought to mind the clichéd term "deer in the headlights", her pale, almost translucent skin that gave her a fragile look, her unobtrusive manner that practically shouted shy, everything. My final conclusion was that she was nothing special, just another human in this hell called high school.
Everyone else it seemed thought different. Every time my concentration slipped I was bombarded with pointless thought about her.
"I wonder what kind of music she likes?"
"She's kinda cute."
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
"Is she always so quiet or is it just because it's her first day?"
It was annoying to say the least, and it probably wouldn't die down for at least a month. It was like giving a bunch of toddlers some tinfoil. So much ado about completely nothing. I sat down at the usual lunch table with the rest of my family. We weren't blood related, but we were of the same sort.
Across from me was the pixie-like Alice. She was petite with black hair cropped short and topaz eyes that marked us for what we were. She had an ability similar to mine in that she could see what was to come. She could be infuriating at times, but she and I shared a close bond.
Next to her was Rosalie. If Alice could be called infuriating, Rose would have to be called impossible. She was shallow, prideful, and at times incredibly stubborn. She had what most others considered killer looks and a surprising interest in cars.
Across from her sat Emmet, my large brother and Rose's sweetheart. He was often described as bear-like and had a certain simplicity to him. There was nothing he would think that he wouldn't say aloud or put into action. He was perpetually in good humor and loved a good fight. Somehow he and Rose made a good couple.
Seated next to me was my newest brother, and Alice's sweetheart, Jasper. He had an interesting ability to "read" the emotions of those around him. Unfortunately, being the newest, he had the hardest time abstaining from feeding on the humans around us. It wouldn't be long until we would have to go into the woods for a hunting trip. No need to push Jasper, or any of us, beyond our limits.
Because of our unusual diet of just animals, no one in town knew that there was a family of bloodsucking vampires in the local high school. We called ourselves the vegetarians of the vampire world.
Meanwhile, the clueless humans moved on in the cafeteria, going about their daily routine.It was there in that cafeteria, amidst the chatter of the regular students that I first saw the notorious new girl with my own eyes.
Wow, this is my first fanfic ever, so sorry if it was a bit off. It ended up a lot longer than I planned for it to be. Reviews both good and bad are greatly welcomed!! Hopefully more chapters in the future. Eiralyss
