Chapter 1

This is my first fanfiction but I promise it'll get better! Bella is a vampire Edward a human, normal "gifts" and of course ExB and normal pairings. This follows the normal story line but with twists.

SM owns it all not me. Enjoy and review!

It was another terribly slow day in forks. Here I am sitting at school for the 15th time staring at a wall. Bored. Emmett was talking about a new place to hunt this weekend. He gets wound up about new game, elk get unappetizing after awhile, we like carnivores more they taste better.

"So Bella how's your day been?" Alice chirped at me. She's been acting strange last couple days. Giving me looks and little knowing smiles. But when I ask she won't tell me what she saw in her vision. I figured it's another shopping trip. Great.

"Why don't you just tell me? I know your hiding something and don't think you can trick me into a shopping trip again." I glared at her remembering last time she said we could go sightseeing in France. I didn't know that all we were seeing were sequence and lace covered fabrics for way to much money. Rosalie smirked.

"Hey! You can't blame me for your lack of fashion sense!" She growled at me but she was still upbeat about something. "Besides if I told you it would take away all the fun." She winked.

Great. Not only was I confused now but also worried. I tried looking at my siblings but none of them looked like they new either so I would have to beg Alice to tell me…. That meant shopping out of state. Or just wait. I was weighing my options when a boy walked in the cafeteria. He was the new kid everyone was talking about. Edward Mason.

But something was different about him. He had this strange bronze hair that was kinda wild on top, probably because he kept running his right hand through it. Then I saw his Emerald green eyes. His face was a little pale not as much as mine though.. However his face somewhat flush(probably the attention) was desirable his features were surprisingly angular and his body was lean but you could see the muscle move under his skin.. Almost cat like. He was in my opinion the most beautiful boy I've ever saw. I could see why people have taking a liking to him. Especially the girls. I could practically hear Jessica Stanley drooling. He was walking with A kid Mike Newton that I knew only because he wouldn't take no for an answer the first year I was new. Asking me out every chance he got. Finally Jasper started messing with his emotions when he'd ask me. So once he'd asked if I wanted to get ice cream then started crying when I said I was busy. But they just got done in line and sat down at a table.

"So Edward tell me where you're from?" She was sitting next to him and put her hand on his arm. Was I the only one who noticed him ever so slightly lean towards Mike?.

"I'm from Phoenix Arizona. My mother and I just moved." He sounded polite but somehow reserved like he didn't care about small talk with kids his age. How odd. I found myself studying his facial expressions.

"Bella if you keep doing this I'm going to get up and go figure out that boys whole life." He shot calm waves to me and if I were human still I'd be blushing. "Sorry Jasper, I'm just bored and I guess he caught my attention for a moment." He gave me a smirk but didn't comment.

"A human got your attention?" Rosalie rolled her eyes. Practically spitting the words.

"I'm just bored and Jessica was making a move-the new kid obviously dogged-it was funny. Calm down Rose." She let it go but I'd bet Jasper had a lot to do with that.

Alice was staring at me with a wide smile showing all her teeth. She grinned at me grabbing Jasper's hand and leaving. "Have fun in class Bella" Jasper just gave me a small apologetic small even though I bet he knows what she does.

That's when I heard him say. "Who are they?" In that musical voice again. It was very soothing. Soothing? Okay I've lost my mind.

"That's Bella and Emmett Cullen, and Rosalie Hale. The two that left were Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale. They all live together with Dr. Cullen and his wife." Jessica stated. But felt the need to gossip some more bout the Cullens. " Of course they're all um… nice looking?" She giggled but continued. " But their together.. like together.. together." She said blushing looking down.

"Which ones are the Cullens? He asked. "They don't look related…"

"Dr. Cullen is really young early thirties. They're all adopted. The Hales are brother and sister, twins-the blondes-and their foster children the Doctor's wife's nephew and nice I guess."

I decided to stop listening Jessica's tone wasn't something that I cared for at the moment. Instead I told my family that they were filling the new kid in on us.

"I bet he's scared. Or drooling over my sexy wife." He winked at Rosalie. I was just about ready to get up and head to class early just to escape that conversation when I heard him again.

"Who's the one with the mahogany hair?" Rosalie smirked at me when he said this. Me. Why was he asking about me. Wait why did I care.. many boys asked around about me. Maybe it's because I'm going crazy. I got up and headed to biology. But I didn't miss what Mike said.

"That's Bella Cullen. Hot as hell dude I know, but she doesn't date. Believe me when I say me and every other guy have tried." The exasperated look on Mike's face and his tone made it hard for me to not laugh. Though he was true. Only if he realized that I was a vampire. The boy. Edward. Just kept looking at me with a shy smile. I never looked his way directly but I could still see him.

I headed out the door to the next hour of hell. I just couldn't wait to get home. Then again all I'll do is read and reread books listen to music, maybe play a video game with Emmett. My life really was torturous.. I had to permanently endure high school, gulge myself in animal blood to try and satisfy the monster in me, keep up the human fàced and then retreat home where my whole family spent all night with their mates.. and I couldn't even sleep to escape one second of it. I took my seat lost in thought. Maybe I should leave for a bit go off on my own. It would kill Esme my mother. Nope just have to silently endure my person hell.

"Go on and have a seat then. Class will start shortly" I snapped my head up and saw Edward walking my way. Of course I was sitting at the only table with an empty chair. Before he sat I took in a gulp of air not that I needed it but just a habit. That's when I smelled him. He was delicious. Like a vanilla and honey sweet smell. It was mouthwatering literally the best blood I've ever smelt. It was a good thing I helped Carlisle for so many years at the hospital plus I've always had good control. He sat next to me and we still had a few minutes.

"Hello, my name's Edward Mason, I'm new here." he looked me in the eyes and smiled. Welp time to scare the new human. Why did I feel indifferent about it this time. I shook my thoughts away and smiled at him showing teeth. This normally scared humans. So when I saw his mouth hang open slightly and his eyes kinda glaze over looking at my mouth, I was shocked. So I decided to introduce myself. I mean that's what normal teenage girls did. Right?

"I'm Bella Cullen, and I know the whole town has been waiting for you." Oddly enough I didn't give him a short reply I kinda wanted to hear more about him. Why was he do interesting? I must be delusional. He didn't answer for two minutes just kept staring then finally shook his head.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to stare." He looked back at me again this time my eyes. You have a beautiful smile." He had a crooked smile on his lips and the sight was enough to make me smile again if I wasn't so stunned. Did he really just a that? Most humans don't have enough courage to look us in the eye at least not with a steady heartbeat. But I didn't sense any fear from him. I turned away with a small smile, I didn't know how to react to that. I changed the subject.

"Where are you from?"

"Phoenix Arizona. It's a lot different from forks." He kinda chuckled. It was adorable. I couldn't help myself and leaned just a bit closer to him.

"You don't like the rain? I turned my head to side waiting for his answer. He looked past me to the window then back to me.

"No.. I don't care for snow either." What? Rain I understood but most people liked snow from what I've seen in the last 117 years. Usually people loved the soft cotton looking pieces and played in it. As soon as my mouth was open he replied to the question I hadn't even asked.

"My mom wanted to move back to her hometown after my father passed." I saw sadness in his eyes. He shrugged his shoulders and to my disappointment Mr. Bannor started class. It was cellular anatomy something I obviously knew. So I took this time to study Edward. He was writing notes but yet he seemed distant every now and then he would look at me and when he caught me staring it resulted in a shy smile from me and looking away and the same smile from him but also a small blush.. hmm maybe from embarrassment. I didn't know however it was very appealing to stare at. Then all too soon the bell rang and he was already up. He turned and looked at me one last time.

" I'll uhh.. see you around. Bella." If could blush still I'd be beat red. I nodded my head and smiled. He turned on his heel and walked away..

The rest of the day went by in a daze. I was thinking of Edward and before I knew it. I was standing next to Emmett's Jeep awaiting my family. I saw Edward walking with Lauren to his car.. he looked uncomfortable and she looked smug. I listened in on them.

"...gonna be gone on Friday if you wanna come over? We could watch movies or something." I had a feeling "or something" was her naked. They reached the car.

"Actually I have plans this Friday Mike, Tyler and I are going to Port Angeles. Sorry Lauren." His eyes were polite but his body wasn't relaxed. It seemed like he was letting her down easy..

"That's okay we've always got next week." She touched his arm then winked at him before walking away. He looked confused. For some reason I wanted nothing more than to take her hand and break every finger. But just then I saw Edward glace my way and smile the same crooked smile at me like before. I smiled but looked away ashamed of being caught..

"Wow, Bella you being bashful who would've thought?" Jasper said raising an eyebrow at me. I once again ashamed at being caught stormed to the door and then slid inside. Alice was practically bouncing in her seat.

"Soooo! Tell me." She beamed at me. Tell her what? I stared at her in confusion.

"Oh come on, Bella! Tell me about the new kid." Wait was Edward what her visions were of? Did she know I would be intrigued by him? Why was she so excited over a human?

"He's human Alice why are you so excited?" I saw her eyes twinkle and she did something I never thought possible of a pixie, she dropped it. She literally went from bouncing in her seat to shrugging her shoulders and looking calm.. without Jasper's help. I think I was going insane. Soon we were home.

Rosalie and Alice were looking at the latest fashion trends. Esme was designing a garage. Emmett and Jasper were wrestling in the yard. For once I didn't want to go in my room and read so I ran outside. Today hadn't put me in a bad mood. Actually if I was being honest I was quite content.

I tackled Emmett to the ground. I had to admit though I had the element of surprise. I bounded off Emmett about twenty feet back. Jasper stared incredulously at me I guess it's been awhile since I've play fought my brothers.. Emmett just looked amused.

"Oh so now little Belly bear wants to play?" Emmett was definitely game on fighting me. But just to make this comical..

"What do you guys say to a bet?" they both were intrigued. Even Alice, Esme, and Rose came out to watch. Esme just stared at me with a loving smile, she'd missed seeing me interact with the family. I bet she wouldn't even care if I broke a vase today.

Please tell me what you think!
