Lucy was new and nervous.

Her parents had decided to relocate to Forks, Washington a place she wasn't sure she could fit in, sure she came from Seattle but that didn't mean she would make friends in the rainy town.

Entering the school, which she deemed rather gloomy looking, she made her way to the main office.

"Umm Excuse me, I'm Lucy Robertson and I'm new." She told a woman behind the counter.

The woman smiled and nodded, raising a finger as a signal for Lucy to wait.

When she came back she had a red folder with her, Lucy noticed that it was rather thick.

"Well sweetie I'm Mrs. Cope and this contains your schedule, a map and other necessaries documents you'll need throughout the day and also a brief brochure in the history of the school." Mrs. Cope told her kindly with a smile still on her face.

Lucy wanted to raise her eyebrows at her in question but she with held the need to do so, instead she nodded, thank her and left, she wondered if she would make friends, she noted that it was only her freshmen year and she wasn't anti social therefore she should be able to make at least one friend.

She entered her first class a few minutes early, introduced herself to her new teacher and sat down in the first row, remembering what Mrs. Cope had said about the brochure, she eagerly look for it in her folder noticing it was at the very back right behind the school tardy policy.

She stared at the front picture, she seen it before, when she was researching Forks, the picture contain seven people all of them dressed in forties fashion.

She had researched Forks to learn its history and she stumble across the history of Forks high.

She jumped a little when she heard someone say her name.

"Lucy right?"

She nodded her head at the brown hair girl, "Yes and you are?" She asked politely.

"Oh I'm sorry I'm Lynn, Mr. Molina wanted me to help you with what we're working on since you haven't been here since the beginning of the year." She told her getting her stuff out of her backpack.

"Thank you I appreciate it." Lucy and Lynn started to take notes as soon as class began, halfway through the class Mr. Molina had to step out leaving them to their own musings.

Lynn noticed the brochure and smiled knowing she was about to tell her new friend all the traditions the school held.

"So you interested in the history of Forks high?" Lynn asked her.

"Yeah a little bit, I mean I've heard all the rumors and what not so I'm curious." Lucy answered her while looking at the picture again.

"I'll tell you what since it looks like Mr. Molina is about to come back, how about it you sit with me and my friends during lunch and I'll tell you all about the history?" Lynn told her finishing in a whisper since Mr. Molina had come back.

Lucy whispered her yes and tried to contain to excitement, she wanted the full version of the story not the sugarcoated version she had found on the internet and she was sure the brochure wouldn't be much helpful either.

The rest of her day was uneventful, except for when she collided with a girl with brown hair, she wasn't able to make out her face since the girl mumbled an apology and walked away, she had seen a bunch of blonde girls, who she presumed were the popular girls in school, laughed at the brown hair girl as she hurried away.

Lucy was unaccustomed to bullying and it made her feel bad for the girl, she hoped she had friends to rely on; she would've gone after her but Lynn stopped her and told her Isabella Swan didn't appreciate help.

"She doesn't?" Lucy asked her as they entered the class before lunch.

"No she's by definition the loner of the school she doesn't like to talk to people and because of that people don't talk to her." Lynn explained, giving no further details.

Lucy nodded and just stared at the board as class progressed, she felt slightly mortified, and why wouldn't anybody talk to this girl? Did it occur to anybody that maybe she was in trouble? Or worse something bad had happened to her and she needed help but didn't know how to express herself? Lucy remembered reading a book about a girl who had been molested but wasn't unable to say anything and had lost all her friends because of it; she remembered that the girl was more open before the incident and wonder if Isabella Swan used to be more social.

She voiced this question to Lynn as they walked to lunch.

"Mmm I don't know but I think she used to be friends with Rosalie Hale and Tanya Denali, oh by the way those are the girls that made fun of her earlier." Lynn told her as they grabbed some lunch, Lucy noticed Isabella Swan sitting on her own at the very back of the room reading a book.

Suddenly the doors to the cafeteria opened and in walked in a group of people Lucy noticed were good looking, she could presume since they made an entrance they were the popular crowd in Forks High.

Lynn squealed next to her, "Oh my god aren't so hot? Oh look at Edward." Lynn finished with a dreamy sighed.

"Edward?" Lucy questioned her.

Lynn nodded her head furiously and guided Lucy to a table as she answered her.

"Yes he's the one with copper hair, he's so hot and he plays the piano and he's in the baseball team and he's super smart and rich." Lynn finished sucking in some air.

Lucy nodded and turned back to stare at the 'popular' and noticed the two blonde girls from earlier putting on makeup while one of them was truly absorbed with herself the other one was applying lip gloss while batting her eyelashes to the big guy next to her, a redhead was making out with a brown hair boy, a short girl with black hair had her arms around a pale blonde boy who was poking at his French fries apparently bored from all the chit chat or lack thereof at his table, she notice that although some of those guys were probably in teams and the girls by their obvious attire were cheerleaders didn't hang out with the rest of the jocks as if they were even more special than the average players and Lucy didn't doubt it if their entrance was anything to go by.

Then she noticed Edward or as Lynn was about to describe the prince of Forks High, she notice that unlike his friends he seemed to take interest in a book she turned her gaze back to Isabella and noticed their postures were almost identical both had their trays far from them and the way they both seemed to put their head on their respective hands was almost identical but unlike Edward where she could see his face Isabella seemed to almost want to hide hers, her hair was fan across her face and to view her face was impossible, Lucy frowned at this she wanted to see her face and maybe detect if she was in trouble from her facial expressions.

"Hey there little lady they tell me you're new?" A voice asked from behind her chair and it almost made her jump, she had been so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the guy standing behind her.

She turned around and noticed a tall blonde guy with blue eyes and a leather jacket smirking at her.

"Mind if I sit here?" He asked her although he didn't wait for an answer and simple sat down on the sit next to her and put his arm around her shoulders.

Lucy was dumbfounded; she faintly noticed that the cafeteria had gone deadly silent.

She didn't know what to say and no one was making a noise, she couldn't tear her eyes off the table but she quickly drew them back when she heard the scraping noises, she noticed, as she was sure did everybody else in the cafeteria, that both Isabella and Edward has stood up both of them stared at each other for a second before Edward sat back down, she thought she heard him sighed but she wasn't sure.

She noticed that Isabella didn't move from her spot but although she made no conscious effort of moving she felt the guy next to her tense up.

"She's a freshmen James let it go." Lucy could hear her voice loud and clear even though Isabella was almost all the way across the cafeteria, she did notice though that she had a firm voice but still wasn't showing her face.

"You know Bella one of these days you're going to have to start minding your own business." James told her as he stood up and walked towards her.

Lucy was scared for Isabella but didn't say anything from the shock.

She noticed that James stood a couple feet away from Isabella they both stared at each other although Lucy still couldn't see her face.

"Yes but not today." Isabella told him in the same firmed voice as before, Lucy noticed that people weren't paying attention to her anymore, she had a feeling that this sort of events happened often, this wasn't about her anymore, it never was but it was about James and Isabella, she didn't understand why she would stand up to him but not to the people that obviously made fun of her.

The stared off lasted a couple more seconds before James walked away towards the doors leading to the parking lot, before he exit he bowed down and walked away.

There was a brief moment of silence as Isabella sat back down but then the cafeteria exploded with talk about the events that had taking place a few seconds earlier.

"Hey are you ok?" Asked Lynn gripping her arm.

Lucy nodded, "I'm fine."

"How come James listened to Isabella? I thought she didn't talk to anybody?" Lucy asked her once the table they were sitting in calm down.

"Well is different with James because they moms are best friends they grew up together so when they were younger people regarded them brother and sister because they were never apart." Lynn explained.

Lucy nodded, "What about Edward? He stood up but sat back down."

"Well he would stop James from making advances well at least he tried once but they got into a fight and Edward was almost suspended, so he doesn't interfere with James' ways of picking up girls anymore, the only reason he gave Isabella the pleasure was because she grew up with him and knows what makes James tick, I mean we all grew up together if you think about it but those two were raised as family so Isabella has this control over James that ninety percent of the people wished they could have I mean James is kind of dangerous." Lynn finished glancing at the doors almost as if she was afraid James was coming back.

"But James told Isabella to mind her own business." Lucy told her glancing at Edward and Isabella both were once again reading their books.

"Yes but did you notice how he said it?" Lynn asked her.

Lucy thought for a moment and realized that James had almost been playful with Isabella.

"I mean any other person and James would've punched them to Mars." Lynn told her when she noticed Lucy understood what she was talking about.

"Oh." Lucy exclaimed before she resuming eating again that was when she remembered their earlier talk.

"Oh you promised to tell me about the student council." Lucy told her as she opened up her backpack to find the brochure again.

"Yeah I forgot about that, what do you want to know?" Lynn told her as Lucy stared at the front picture.

"Everything." Lucy exclaimed softly.

"Good well then let's start from the beginning." Lynn told her as she pushed her tray away.

"It all started in 1949 when the principal tired of having to deal with the wrong student council and by that I mean the fact that only the popular kids got elected decided to take matters in his own hands and he passed a … law shall we say? That the principal was the only one with the power to elect the student body president and his or her officers, however there was a problem with that you see the guy he chose to be president didn't want the honor so the only way he was going to agree was if his identity was kept a secret he also convinced the principal to let him pick his officers since he claimed he knew who the better students were, the principal allowed this strangely enough the rest of the officers the president elected decided to followed his footsteps and hide their identities so that's where the tradition came from." Lynn explained.

Lucy nodded, "So does it still work that way?"

Lynn shook her head, "No not at all, the president decided to select the person that would follow him, people say that the principal at the time was furious but truly he couldn't do anything it wasn't his decisions anymore he didn't control the school anymore, the student council did, the next generation of student council members decided to stick to the same routine of hiding their identities and I guess the tradition of hiding kind of stuck but the decision to let the previous president choose the next one was actually written in the bylaws the student council had to follow and no one fought them, not even the mayor." Lynn finished.

"But his name, well all their names are in the brochure so they said who they were at some point right?" Lucy asked her.

"Yes at the end of their senior year, see one of the reasons they wanted to hide their identities was because they were freshmen so they thought they might get mistreated because people would regard them as too young to make decisions, at the end of their senior year they decided to come out with it and say who they were not because they wanted recognition but because they just wanted to put it to rest and once again the next generation followed so it became a tradition, so now every time a student council reveals themselves they get to pick how they do it and when they do it mostly they show themselves in the last semester, people called it the 'ruling period' because people bow down to them without hesitation."

Lucy nodded again, "And what kind of people have been in the student council."

Lynn laughed, "Oh you would be surprised, we had jocks, chess club members, cheerleaders, you name it since it's not by elections anymore but by whoever becomes president it's anyone's guess who is truly inside the council."

Lucy checked her watch and noticed they only had five more minutes before their next class.

"So they never make public appearances?"

"Yeah they do, they wear masks and sometimes they even change their whole appearance so no one will find out who they are it's actually pretty cool is like they are royalty or something." Lynn told her as they stood up to dump their trays.

"Will you tell me more?" Lucy asked as they made their way to their next class.

"Sure there is a lot more to the traditions but not right now, later when we have more time, well I'll see you later bye." Lynn waved at her as she made her way to her next class.

Lucy waved back and hurried inside her classroom but before she could enter someone stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder.

She almost gasped when she saw who it was.

"I'm sorry to bother you I'm Edward Cullen." He seemed fidgety but Lucy only nodded at him.

"I wanted to apologize for the cafeteria incident I should've defended you from James but me and him have a history and I can't get in trouble you understand that don't you?" He asked her with a smile, she once again nodded.

"Great well I hope you have a nice day." He nodded and retreated, but before she could enter her classroom she stood in the now empty hallway and noticed that Isabella was coming from the girls' restroom, her face was facing the floor, what happened next shocked her.

"You trying to hide your ugly face Swan?" Edward asked Isabella with a sneer, but Isabella paid him no mind and just kept on walking.

Lucy finally moved and entered her classroom, apologizing for being late and sitting down where the teacher told her to.

Her mind was reeling, it didn't make any sense he was reading a book, a deep profound book she had hoped and he had been so nice to her in the hallway and Lynn spoke so highly of him, but as soon as he thought no one was looking he insulted Isabella, Lucy shook her head to clear it, it seemed to her that Edward Cullen was trying to act nice for everybody else's benefit and showed his true colors when he thought no one would see but she told herself she couldn't make those kinds of conclusion not since the incident with James, not when someone who was suppose to be dangerous could be control by a shy girl who obviously kept to herself.

Lucy decided right then and there she would befriend Isabella Swan and showed her someone cared.

As soon as the last period was over she started looking for Isabella but she couldn't find her anywhere, defeated she called her mom to pick her up.

As she opened the school's front door she collided with someone.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." Lucy tried to stand up but a hand shot down to help her up.

"No problem." She recognized the voice and shot her head and for the first time she got to see the face of Isabella Swan.

She immediately understood why she try to hide her face all the time, now she knew she wasn't into girls but Lucy knew when a beautiful person was staring at her and that moment was right about, yes the reason that Isabella Swan try to hide her face wasn't because she was ugly no it was the complete opposite reason.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" She heard the commotion from the parking lot, she felt Isabella grab her arm and she immediately returned her eyes to her face.

Isabella put a finger to her lips, smiled at Lucy and began running to the end of the hallway and soon she was out of view.

Lucy decided to see what was going on in the parking lot and almost chocked on her laughter when she noticed what she suspected used to be a silver car covered in feathers, glue to hold the feathers and a big sign on the hood exclaiming:

Edward is a chicken.

Sounds were coming from inside the car and they sounded like actual chicken sounds.

Lucy was laughing and she could see Edward Cullen beet red from all the anger, he finally kicked the car and walked towards a jeep got in the back seat and didn't come back out.

As she climbed inside her mom's car Lucy decided it had been a first great day.

**

Bella closed the door before she started laughing until her eyes filled with tears.

"That wasn't very nice Bella." James exclaimed holding a camcorder to her face.

Bella rolled her eyes and took the hair band from his ponytail and ran towards her desk.

"Hey!" James yelled at her but didn't go after her instead he took another hair band out of his pocket and tide his hair into a low ponytail, he was used to Bella stealing his hair bands.

"You know you enjoy it James you were the one who recorded the whole thing." Bella told him as she fixed her hair.

"Whatever when is everybody else coming?" He asked her as he sat down in one of the couches.

"Not sure, Rosalie is supposed to be here soon though as soon as she says goodbye to Emmett." Bella told him as she got the papers she needed for their meeting.

"I'm here and ready to praise you ms. President." Rosalie shook her head as came into the room.

"Oh and by the way I can't believe you did that to Edward's car." Rosalie and Bella held their gaze for a second before bursting out laughing.

James rolled his eyes and wonder if he could them to have a pillow fight that he decided would be a great show not a car full of feathers.

A/N Tell me what you think.
