Chapter One: Greek God

Bella's Point Of View:

''Charlie, how many times do I have to tell you?! It wasn't Alice, Rosalie and me who burnt down the school gym!''

Little did Charlie know that it was us…

A year ago now, me and my girls were up at Port Angeles when we were kidnapped. We don't remember anything but three days later we all woke up, scared. We were staring at a world that looked the same, just intensified.

We ended up causing quite a mess in Port Angeles until we realised what we were doing. Ever since, we have only ever touched animal blood, repulsed by what we had done.

We returned home a week later and we told our parents that we didn't know what happened. We just woke up outside Charlie's house that morning. We only half lied- we don't remember everything.

Anywho, a week ago these three vamps show up in Forks and recognise us. It turns out they were the ones who changed us. It was kind of bad timing though as they came to us at school. James and Laurent died in the fire but Victoria escaped. Haven't heard from her since, which is a bit of a shock because I was the one who started the fire. What no grudge… unlikely. We all got fighting in the gym. Us girls all hated them for changing us so things went a bit far. But we have to go through so much trouble to act human.

We eat three meals every day at least then have to throw it all up later. We have to pretend to sleep every night and my eye colour was changed from becoming a vampire. They use to be blue but now they are a nice, deep brown. I do like the colour but it's a hassle to keep up the act. I told Charlie I got contact lenses because I wanted a change. Alice and Rosalie told their parents the same thing because theirs had also changed to topaz and hazel.

''Isabella, I don't care what you say!'' Charlie never calls me Isabella. He took a deep breath to calm himself. ''Look Bella, you three have been getting into way too much trouble recently. I'm the chief at the station. You should be setting an example. Look, I've talked to Alice's and Rosalie's parents. We have all agreed to send you to a boarding school in Phoenix. I hope you enjoy calling your mother in Jacksonville to tell her.''

…

I can't believe he's sending me off to some school with my friends, alone, without parental supervision, expecting us to somehow become angels.

''What are you planning on getting out of this Charlie? Were you actually thinking when you decided to send me, with friends may I add, to a not-very-strict, co-ed boarding school where we get to share houses instead of dorms on a massive campus that is at a perfect stage to get damaged?!''

''Yes, I'm hoping you'll realise that you love Forks and you do still need a home no matter how tough you think you are. I have tried everything else. Grounding you, punishing you, taking things away but nothing works. This is my last option and it's worth a try.''

''Pfft!'' That was the only response I gave him. I must admit though, I was kind of looking forward to this. Not that I'd tell Charlie. He wanted me to get the full 'independent' feeling, so he put me and my girls all in the same house. Lucky for us, they only allow a maximum of three people per house. Parents are so fucking stupid. This is so not going to work.

''Were here,'' Charlie informed me.

''Uh huh. That's nice. You can drive away now… seriously, I won't hold it against you.''

''Bells, I know you may not like me very much right now, but I do want to say goodbye before you get on that plane, not to see you again until the beginning of your spring break. That's if you decide to come back and visit.''

''Uh huh.''

Charlie parked the car and I walked off with him trailing behind to wait for the plane. As soon as I saw my girls sitting around, waiting for me, I ran up to them and we all stood up, embracing in a hug. We all laughed.

''Sup bitches?'' Our formal greeting.

''Nothin' much my favourite little slut. I still can't believe our parents think this is the solution to all our problems.'' Alice, always thinking the same thing as me. It shouldn't be a surprise, we are all practically sisters.

''I know! Hey Bella, where's your bags?'' Rosalie asked.

''Charlie wants a final goodbye, so he'll be here and second with my things.''

They both mouthed an 'O'.

…

''Oh my fucking god! It's huge!'' I pointed out the obvious. The house we were given, like all the others on campus, was two stories with three incredibly large bedrooms complete with king size beds, walk in wardrobes, individual balconies and individual bathrooms- I was really glad about the bathrooms. Three girls, first thing in the morning, all sharing a bathroom was not going to end well. We even had our own pool. How much was Charlie paying for me to go here. He must be either desperate or out of his mind.

For the next hour we all went nuts exploring every inch of our new home. It was perfect. You walked into a hallway at first, but if you then turned left, you enter a massive lounge area- just right for throwing massive parties- which was filled with two couches, a plasma TV, DVD player and the best sound system I have ever seen- the speakers were in every corner of the room and they even spread to outside for entertaining. Branched off that was the kitchen, already stocked. If you turned right from the hallway, you entered a study with three Mac Book Airs and the books we needed for all our classes. If you follow the hallway to the end, you are presented with the backyard and of course, also branching off the hallway was the stairs leading to our rooms.

Knock, knock, knock…

We all stopped what we were doing. We hadn't heard anyone approach the house. ''Are we expecting someone?'' I asked. Alice and Rosalie just shrugged. We all walked to the door and were greeted by a flyer being weighed down by a rock.

I picked it up. It read:

Party, tonight…

House 34f, be there!

We all looked around and there was a flyer on every house's doorstep.

''Looks like we're going out tonight girls!'' We all just stared at each other and ran up the stairs to get ready.

…

When we arrived at the house it was midnight and people were everywhere. They were out the front, throughout the house and in backyard and pool. From the outside of the house, you could see different coloured light coming from downstairs. You could hear the music blasting.

I love this school already, I thought to myself.

We walked- more like strutted but anyway- straight through the front door and walked into the lounge room where we knew the most people would be. It was really hot and steamy in the room. I already felt a bit hot and my body is naturally cold- it takes quite a lot to make vampires sweat, but it is possible. As soon as we walked in, three guys turned to look at us. Each one seemed to be specifically looking at a different one of us.

A greasy, black haired boy was looking straight at Rosalie. She was wearing a silk red dress with thin straps and a neck line that exposed the top of her chest. It was clinging tightly to her chest but flowed from there down. It ended at knee length. She had her long blonde hair perfectly straightened and wore big, gold hoop earrings.

The guy staring at Alice was a little better looking- not by much- shorter, brown haired but still nerdy. Alice was wearing dark brown mini shorts and a black turtle neck with long sleeves that ended just below her chest, showing her stomach and belly ring. The dark colours of her clothing and short, black, spiked hair contrasted with her pale skin making her shine.

I, on the other hand, had some blonde-haired guy looking at me as if I was some new playstation 3 game he just had to buy and test out. I would have sworn he nearly drooled. I was wearing an extremely short, black mini skirt that ended just below my butt. I then wore a plain black bra with a white top over it that had intentional cuts across the front to look like it had been ripped by claws. There were slits over my stomach, one cut showed my belly button diamonte stud (which I recently got done and loved it) but the main cut the blondie was looking at was the large one that fully exposed by bra and large chest. I had my eye makeup dark to accentuate my eyes and my hair in natural waves. None of us wore shoes because we always ended up losing them at parties when we took them off to dance but I wore a silver toe ring and anklet on my right foot.

They started to approach us. We tried to walk around them discreetly but they intersected us. Blondie grabbed my upper arm to stop me and immediately retracted from my cold skin but remained where he was.

''Hey, I'm Mike. Are you three new here?'' Mike, huh? I prefer blondie.

''Bella. Yeah we are Mike.'' I responded rather harshly. He was still flashing his eyes to my chest trying to do it between glancing to each of us.

Perve! I know my assets gorgeous but geeze!

He didn't seem discouraged by my tone and just smiled at me. ''That's really interesting.'' He smiled as if he just had an idea. That is such a gay smile, I thought. I didn't like it. ''Do you guys want to dance?''

I looked at my girls and they seemed just as horrified as I was but I didn't know how to say no. New school, already bad reputation and by the looks of all the girls eying me this guy was 'popular'. Which basically means, reject them, news spreads fast.

''Okay. Fine,'' I sighed.

We walked into the middle of the room and started dancing. After approximately one minute of trying to touch me I gave up trying to dance with blondie. I just started dancing with my girls. Rosalie was holding my right hand when I bent down to the floor, my butt touching my heels and split my legs, putting my left hand on my inner, upper thigh to make every guy in the room gasp. I then body rolled back up and laughed with my babes as every teenage boy in the room stared, obviously wishing they could be Rosalie right now.

Suddenly Alice froze, her eyes went blank. She was having a vision. When she became animated again she went on as if nothing happened. When the song reached its climax she spoke in a soft tone so fast that only Rosalie and I could hear her saying, ''In five minutes, three vampires and going to come here. They are animal drinkers but I don't know what they want. Try to act calm and not notice them. I can't see anything else.'' Rosalie and I listened intently. We didn't have to act or anything while we listened because Alice spoke so fast. ''Try to mingle with people and play it down so hopefully they won't notice us. It's extremely unlikely but must try. We don't know how these guys react to other vampires. We can't take risks while I can't see. We clear?'' Rosalie and I nodded quickly then went back to dancing.

I started to approach blondie again, attempting to mingle. It sounds like a dirty word. Intention being to start conversation I said, ''Hey Mike, whose party is this?'' He smiled that gay smile again. He seemed to like the fact that I was talking to him.

''This one was thrown by a girl called Jessica and her friends Lauren and Angela. They all live together and stuff.''

''It's a pretty good party. I mean, nothing special but for a house party it's not too bad.''

''Yeah. Once a month a different house throws a party. The seniors always choose whose turn it is and once they have decided, the people have one day to put everything together. It's really cool. We still don't know who the seniors are because everyone just wakes up one morning with a note slipped under their front door.''

''Sounds interesting. Why do you do it?''

''People get bored easily around here so we needed some entertainment. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. Anyway… so… I was wondering… if you're not busy tomorrow night…''

I stopped listening to the blabbering blondie then. I noticed a change in the room. I turned around to see what it was. That's when I saw them. One was really tall, blonde and big muscled. The next one was very slightly shorter but looked like a body builder with short brown hair. But those guys didn't matter. I was looking at the one in the middle. He looked to be about six foot with tight muscles. You could see his six pack because his black button up shirt was undone and was tight around the sleeves, gripping to his arms. His hair was a dark bronze and long enough to just cover his eyebrows, tousled into an organised mess. While I was staring at him with my mouth open, I heard Mike say something like, ''Looks like the Cullens have finally decided to show themselves.'' That's when the Greek god with bronze hair looked at me. His eyes locked with mine and my breath caught, making me close my mouth. When he saw my reaction, the most dazzling smile lit up across his face, a crooked smile that pulled up at one side of his mouth. If my heart was still beating it would have been burning right now.

6 Stupid, Beautiful Cullen!
