I do not own Twilight. I only own Aurora.

Story Start

"Aurora," my only friend at Forks High School screamed as she pretty much attacked me with a hug. I looked over my shoulder to see the smiling face of Alice Cullen. Her boyfriend was never far behind her, but for now Jasper was further back by Edward Cullen. Of course, Bella Swan was right by Edward as usual. I swear that girl became super glued to him in a slightly freaky way as soon as she moved here a few months back.

"Hey Alice," I said struggling with breathing and she laughed at the face I made at her. She released her death grip hug and gave me her usual smile of you're going to do what I want and like it. "So what's up on this normal, dreary Monday?" I questioned while locking my car since we were all still in the parking lot about to head into the school building.

Alice slipped her arm through mine and rested her head on my shoulder since we were the same height. Thankfully, she did not wear her high heels today. I detested the death traps and she loved them, so when she wore them I was even shorter. I was also thankful for the sweater I was wearing today because my friend was always super cold-nature, or in other words she was like hugging an ice sculpture.

"Well I need to go shopping this weekend, and then I was wondering if we could have a sleepover," she said and watched me curiously for my response.

"Well you know I'm always up for a shopping trip with you even if I just want to buy books or art supplies, but you know that you're not allowed to buy me high heels. My house or yours for the sleepover? My mom won't care since she's never home anyway," I said as we walked into the school building and ignored the looks we usually got from the other students.

"Still seeing that guy or is it a new one this month?" Alice whispered and squeezed my arm a little tighter.

"Doesn't matter. I just stay out of the house when she brings one by. No point in meeting them when she changes them like she changes her socks," I muttered and gave her a small smile.

"Well then let's do my house. Get you out of that house some more and you know Esme loves you. She actually has a new recipe that she wants you to try," Alice said and I immediately got excited. I loved her mother's cooking. It was a little weird when at her house since her family never sat down for a big family dinner, but every family is different. I just enjoyed the home cooking since I never got that in my own house unless I cooked it.

"Sounds good to me. If you want I'll drive for shopping Saturday," I started saying before laughing at her pout. "Never mind, speed demon, you can drive. I'll just bring my help me sign that I can put on the window when you speed past people who were driving too slow," I finished.

"Perfect, I always enjoy their expressions," she said and we had to split ways since we had different classes.

Throughout the class, I was once again sitting in the back. I had lived in Forks for most of my life. I moved here a few years ago, and being the new girl was terrible. I never enjoyed having a lot of attention on me, and here it was like I was under a magnifying glass. Many of the people my age tried to become my friend, but I'm not really social. Eventually people started leaving me alone, until Alice Cullen and her family moved into town. For some reason, she really wanted to be my friend and we just clicked. She was the only friend I had here. The rest of her family were polite, except Rosalie, but they weren't friends of mine.

"Oh joy, I get to deal with Rosalie this weekend," I thought but immediately shook my head at the thought. I could deal with Alice's sister, and she would not be ruining our weekend of fun.

Lunch time was never a favorite part of my day at this school. I would walk into the cafeteria, head towards an empty table towards the back, and get looks as if I was a weirdo from other students. Alice and her family would then enter the cafeteria, people would stop staring at me, and then Alice would rush over to my table and join me. Jasper would then join her and eventually her other family members would sit down as well. Bella also sat with us now but she still seemed like a scared animal to me. First time she sat with us, she was so quiet and nervous to speak. Now she spoke, but mostly with Edward. I talked with everyone at the table for the most part. Rosalie would usually be snippy with me, but I would throw it right back at her. Emmett and Alice were my favorite to talk to from the family.

Alice walked in like normal and headed straight for my table. She seemed a little off as she sat beside me and Jasper sat down on her other side. I watched as Rosalie, Emmett, and Edward also came into the lunch room but Edward was not followed with Bella. I noticed that Bella walked in and went towards some of her other friends' table. I gave a raised eyebrow to Alice and she gave me a tight smile. "Ok then," I thought and took another bite of the chicken and rice that I packed. I refused to eat the food that comes out of that kitchen.

The rest of the day went by fine, but Alice seemed really tense when we were talking in the parking lot about to leave to head to our own homes. I looked to see Edward ignoring Bella again, who was staring at him. It was a little creepy to be honest. I didn't know her that well but that staring level was stalker-like right now.

"Alice, is everything alright?" I asked as my friend started rambling, which she didn't do too much.

"Yes, totally fine, no worries. Well I have to go, bye," Alice said and she gave me a hug, but for some reason it felt really long.

"Yeah, bye," I muttered as I watched her walk quickly towards her car where Jasper was already sitting inside.
