Hi! This is my first fanfic! Please it a try and review! :)

Disclaimer: *Recites it* I am not Stephenie Meyer... BUT... I think I do own the characters. xD


** Chapter 1 - The Start **:


Beep - beep - beep.

I pushed the dusty old comforter off of my body. Then I slowly turned my head towards the beeping. Oh crap! School today! I quickly jumped out of my bed, stumbling forward and wincing at the cold floor, as I ran to my bathroom. Quickly yet thoroughly, I combed through my light brown, tangled, curly, shoulder - length hair. I looked up in the mirror to see my face. I touched my pale face, sighing with frustration. Oh dear God, I thought. Ugh, should I put some makeup on...? No, just be simple today... I kept thinking... Eh, whatever. Doesn't matter. I won't fit in, anyways, so it doesn't matter. Soon enough, I gave up and headed out of the house.

On my way out, I grabbed a granola bar, too anxious to stay at home for the first day of Arizona High School. "Bye, Mom!," I yelled back into the house. And then I sniffed the air outside. It was so dry! ... And... Ugh, the sun! The sun was brightly shining in the sky, not at all making me feel comfortable. I missed the soft rain constantly falling on my face and the green trees which felt protective around me. I slowly walked to my car, sighing as I saw how beautiful it was. Well of course it was only a Corolla, but I'd just gotten my driver's license, and I wanted a car badly. But I couldn't admire my car for long, since the heat was beating down on my face. As soon as I got in the car, I turned the air conditioning on as high as it would go and started moving away from my house. My family and I had just moved to Phoenix, Arizona, from Forks, Washington - one of the rainiest places on the planet- a few months ago; and yes, Twilight was taken place there, too. But, I won't start on that right now... Or else I would go on forever and ever on that topic. Anyways, I didn't have any siblings, which meant that I was lonely most of the time. Same with school, I didn't have very many friends. To be honest, I only had one, but the last time I had checked in with her - before I was leaving, to tell her the big news: me moving to Phoenix- she somehow sounded happy that I was leaving. Now here I was, starting a new high school. But, I didn't think that I would fit in this high school, either. For instance, I'm always stumbling and am absolutely horrible at sports, just like Bella. What's more is that I don't have the necessary hand eye coordination to do anything in P.E., but stand in a very far corner and keep my hands free. So that's basically me. All clumsy and embarrassed and blushes a lot.

Finding the school wasn't that hard. Of course anybody could find it easily because of the long - stretched fences and a huge board saying "Welcome to Arizona High School". As the parking lot came to my view, I gasped. It was bigger than my old high school. I sighed, shaking my head, then drove my car through the parking lot, searching for a place to park, even though it was practically empty. Instead of circling around too much, I parked in a corner, right in front of the school. Hopefully it wasn't the restricted area. I got out of my cooled - down car, unwillingly, and went out in the sun. I looked up, again, to see the sky. It was a perfect cloudless blue, with a glowing sun shining in the middle of the sky. Then, looking down I realized that I had to go inside the office to check my schedule. Great, this is going to be amazing. First day of Arizona High... Good luck Annabel.

I walked up the path, created by rocks, till the sidewalk came to an end. I looked up to see the door, opened it, and went inside.

A rush of cool air blew to my face, making my hair fly around me. My hands flew to my face, moving the hair out of my eyes. Then I took a deep breath. Okay, it's going to be fine. I dragged my feet up to the counter and cleared my throat. The lady sitting at the counter looked up at me.

"Can I help you?" She asked politely. She had a red sleeveless shirt on and a black capri. Her face was wrinkled and it looked like she was in her fifties.

"Um, can I have my schedule, please, I'm Annabel Whitman." I informed her.

"Okay, just a second." Her eyes lit with acknowledgment. Surely I had been talked about... A girl moving from Forks, Washington, an alien. I looked around the room to find out her name, to thank her later for helping me. I roamed my eyes over the desk and finally found her name: Sheryl Thompson. Sheryl went through a pile of papers, finding my name at last.

"Ah, here it is." She spoke out loud, clearly happy to find my schedule in a pile big enough to hide a baby in. She got up and came around the counter to stand by my side. Sheryl gave me a map and showed me where my classes were and which route to take. After she was done explaining to me, she wished me good luck. I thanked her, knowing that her good luck was wasted because it usually tended to avoid me, and headed back to my car.

I pulled open the door and quickly sat inside. I shot a glance at the clock. Hm, I still had fifteen more minutes or so, I'll just look through my schedule and try to memorize it. I tried to memorize my schedule and where the classes were at the same time.

1. Math - Room: 196

2. P.E. - Room: Gym

3. Science - Room: 1047

4. Social Studies - Room: 121

5. Lunch

6. English - Room: 845

7. Spanish - Room: 621

8. Empty

I finally remembered my schedule and then glanced at the clock again. Oh shit. Class is starting in like two minutes. Pushing open my door, and remembering to bring my schedule with me - I still didn't believe myself enough that I had the schedule memorized - I ran to the main entrance of the school.

I hadn't noticed before, but a lot of the cars now were pretty much like my car, some of them even older and some of them were even... Beautiful. When I tore my eyes off of the cars, unwillingly, I saw a few people still getting out of their cars and headed inside the school. No one is going to bite me, I lied to myself and headed inside.
