Chapter 1

My name is Anna Johnson, and I am 17. Today is the first day of school. I am starting at Forks High school. This is always scary for me. I have no one there for me. My parents left when I was 13. I haven't seen or heard from them since. My family disowned me and they haven't talk to me either. It doesn't matter though. I have myself. I don't need anyone else. The only person I have kept contact with is my best friend Harley. She keeps me updated from her high school in Mass. But still it has been months. But I would take that double or triple the pain anyday. I have a blood crazed vampire that comes ever 3 months, takes about just enough of my blood before I die and then comes back when I am better. She leaves me with a new scar and a few broken bones before she leaves. She says it keeps me from hiding. I cannot even go within 100 feet of a vampire without seeing her face. And if I do see come across a vampire I tensed and run at my maxium speed. I always feel like I do when she comes. They all hurt innocents. But I have to deal with this and I do it very well. I keep my skin covered; making sure none of my skin is exposed. If people see my scars the secret will be blown and I will have to deal with it. I may not be a vampire but I do know the rules. And I will obey them if that is what I have to do to stay alive.

I am on my way to the school. I am in my old beat up Volvo that is rust colored, it may not be beautiful but it runs. I inherited it from my grandmother. It is the only thing I have from my old life. When I arrived all eyes turned to me. I have done this once, and have hated both times. Everyone just watched with an awed look on their faces. I tried to keep my eyes on the road, but it was hard with the feeling of stares burning my back. But when I finally caved and looked to see what hate filled stare was on me I saw them. Well not anyone I know but they were……they were vampires. But how vampires are blood crazed beasts. Like…her. But they cannot go to school with humans. This…..this was the worst idea ever. I should have none vampires go to rainy places. And dumb ass me chose the rainiest place in the continental U.S. I couldn't go to Cali or somewhere nice. I guess it is too late.

I entered the office and could still feel the gaze on my back. I went right to the receptionist. She looked about 50-60. She wore glasses that rested on her nose. I saw her name plate said Mrs. Cope.

"Hello, my name is Anna Johnson and I am new here. I am supposed to be a junior." I said with a polite smile.

"Yes, yes dear welcome to Forks High School." She said while handing me papers. "You need to fill these out and then get this signed by all of your teachers and return it by the end of the day." She said with a smile. I walked to the chair in the corner and started to fill the forms out. It was the standard stuff, address, name, date of birth. Easy stuff to fill. But when it said parents I froze. What am I suppose to say 'I am a loner teen that had her parents abandon her when she turned 13?' oh that would be smart.' I decided to write on business in China. She only nodded and smiled when I returned them.

"Have a nice day." She said while waving.

"Thank you." I said shyly. I looked at my schedule and saw I had English first. I do well so it won't be hard.

I entered the English room and the room fell silent. Everyone turned their gaze to me. The only gaze that scared me was a girl about 18 sitting next to one of them. She was holding his hand. I knew what he was doing. Playing with his food. He knew she would easily. I was scared but for her. I have experience. She doesn't. I tensed and so did he. I was about to grab her and make a run for it but it would be to suspicious.

"No hats in the class room." The teacher said while pointing to me. My eyes went wide. I couldn't take it off. It would show my scar. But I had to so I removed it and covered my scalp with my hair. No one seemed to notice. Not even him. The teacher nodded and put me in a seat on the opposite side of the bloodsucker. I was glad but still apprehensive.

"We are learning Romeo and Juliet today." The teacher.......Mr. Melina said. I already studied this so I just decided to pretend to read. I could still feel the intense glare on my back. I wouldn't the gaze. I knew who it was. It was him. That is what scared me the most.

The bell finally rang and I ran out of the room. I surprised myself that I could even last that long. I had chemistry next and I hope that none of them are in the class.

When I walked in a saw the girl that was holding hands with one of them. There was only one seat open and it was next to her. I went up to the teacher. He signed my paper and I went to the only seat available. When I sat down she had a curious look on her face. Like she saw something weird about me that no one else saw.

"Hello, I am Bella Swan, and you are?" she asked while sticking out her hand. I looked at it for a minute and then sighed.

"I am Anna johnson." I said while shaking her hand. She notice how cold me skin was and she only shoke her head.

"Why are you so cold?" she whispered.

"No reason." I said while moving my gaze. I forgot that my skin was 5 degrees colder than noraml. The scars made my skin cold. Since I have them all over my body, it carries throughout my skin and causes my normal temperature to be 93.2.

"Sure." She said. I didn't want to topic to go further so I didn't talk.

"Would you want to go to the beach with some of my friends and me? I want you to meet some of my friends in La Push. There is someone I think you might want to meet." She said with a laugh. I really wanted to go and hang out with people my age but I knew I couldn't. people would see my scars and would know I am different.

"I can't" I said with a sigh.

"Why not?" She asked.

"I don't go out at all." I said with a shrug.

"Come on just once." She was almost begging.

"I'm sorry I-I can't." I said with a frown.

"One way or another you will be going." I thought I heard her say.

The bell rang and I ran to my next class. She can't find out the truth about me.
