Chapter 1: Fortunate

"What is the purpose of your visit?" asked the burly officer at the entrance of the school.

"Uh yeah...I'm here to deliver these clothes form Swan Dry Cleaners," she replied nervously.

He eyed her suspiciously for a second before finally deciding that she was relatively harmless. The officer opened the gate and waved her inside. To say the school was vast and well-appointed was an understatement. Its fancy architecture and high class status made it the most popular school in all of New York City and probably the whole country.

She made her way through the school in awe. Bella Swan had always dreamt about one day attending such a well known and lavish school. She wanted to be able to attend a good university and she new that if she had this school on her transcript there would be no problem attending the university of her choice. But that was all it was, just a dream, a very stupid dream. She knew that the possibility of her ever attend a school of this status was near impossible. For now she would just have to settle for a regular community college that is if she could even get into one. With the way things were going at school, she doubted she could even get into a decent college. Maybe she would tell her father that she couldn't deliver clothes for the family's business anymore, she already had a part time job at the Chinese restaurant her and her best friend Rosalie worked at. She could just keep that job and quit working at the family's dry cleaners so she could focus a little more on school and her grades.

No, she couldn't do that. Of course she couldn't. Her father needed the extra help and with the way business was dwindling now-a-days her father couldn't just hire someone to help him. She had to do it and her grades were the ones to suffer for it.

Bella was so deep in thought that she hadn't noticed where she was going. She was suppose to drop the clothes off at the main office but instead ended up in a cafeteria full of students. She had never thought a high school cafeteria could look so luxurious with its high ceilings and long tables. And was that a chandelier? It's as if they were dinning at the white house instead of a high school. She stood there with her mouth gaping open thinking just how lucky the students attending this school were, when she heard someone running down the stairs behind her.

She turned around, but the breathless boy didn't even look at her. Instead he started shouting at the other students. "Hey! Hey!" he said. "On the rooftop...Kevin Valera is on the rooftop... and I…I think he's going to jump!"

Kevin Valera? Why did that name sound so familiar? Oh right! Kevin Valera was the boy she was suppose to be delivering the clothes to. Bella realized she had gotten way too caught up in her own thoughts that she had completely forgotten about her delivery.

She saw the student stand up and rush up the stairs once they heard what the boy had said. She followed them curious as to what all the fuss was about, thinking that maybe she could deliver that clothes to the boy herself.

Once on the rooftop she realized why everyone was in such a commotion. Kevin Valera was standing on the edge of the roof, threatening to jump. Blood was running down his face from a gash on his forehead, his right eye was starting to swell and he had multiple bruises on his arms.

What the hell happened to him? Bella thought frantically. And why is he trying to jump of the roof?

Kevin Valera turned around and looked at the faces of the disgusting creatures that called themselves human. "This is what you guys want right?" he shouted. "Fine! I'll give you what you want!"

Bella noticed how he inch closer to the edge ready to plunge into his impending doom. Why wasn't anyone doing anything?

"Wait!" she shouted. She saw him and every other student turn around and look at her. She took the chance and moved closer to him. Desperate to keep him from jumping, she uttered the first thing that came to mind. "Kevin Valera? I've come to deliver your clothes from Swan Dry Cleaners!" She heard everyone else behind her laugh. What the hell was wrong with these people? She thought. Here was a guy threatening to jump off a roof and kill himself and all they could do was laugh?

She saw him scowl at her and she spoke up again anxious to distract him. "Why are you doing this? You go to such a great school."

"No, this isn't a school. This is hell." He answered voice bitter and venomous.

"Hey!" she replied in a cold tone herself, thinking about what a rich kid like himself could possibly know about hell. "Real hell is outside this building, buddy. Having to bust your ass working while still wanting to get a good education. All in hope for a better future. Have you ever had to do that? I don't think so." She stopped her ranting and realized she was taking out her prior frustrations on this poor kid.

"Get down from there and lets talk about this." she said, her voice softer.

"Have you ever heard of F4?" he asked her, completely ignoring her request.

"F…F…what? F4? What is that?"

"The moment you get a red card from them, you become prey for the entire school." He answered her while his eyes darkened with pure hatred. She gasped, realizing that the cuts and bruises on his body were there because of the students behind her. The students in this school had pushed him too far and they were the reason he was standing here on this ledge intending to jump and end his misery.

"You…you can't let them do that to you!" she yelled, disgusted at the scum that was this so called F4. "You can't let them win. Don't let them walk around like they're the shit. If this was my school I would have grabbed them and ripped them to pieces." She was so furious, she was shaking.

He looked at her and chuckled sadly. "They're fortunate."

"What?" she breathed trying to calm herself down.

"Your friends," he whispered. "They're fortunate to have someone like you."

She blushed and looked at the floor. When she looked up again she saw him taking a step into the air. "Kevin!" she screamed and rushed forward, just in time to grab onto his shirt.
