I arrived at maths, this was probably my favourite subject. Not because of the actual subject! But because this was the one lesson where all my best friends are together, this can mean only one thing. As soon as I walked through the door, Rosie ran up to me.
"Caitlin, Caitlin Caitlin!" she shouted in one breathe. "Tom asked me out!" she squealed at me. I laughed at her.
"Told you I was brilliant" We walked over to find Abbie, Emily, Lizzie and Kayleigh sitting on and around one of the tables. Lizzie had her phone playing music and as soon as we got there, we all started dancing around. We were all singing along,
"Hello hello, baby; you called
I can't hear a thing
I have got no service in the club you say, say"
Before we were to the chorus we were all already giggling and people were started to watch us, dancing to the song and singing. Just as the chorus started, Emmett, Alice and Jasper walked into the class. Emmett immediately had a huge grin spread across his face. Alice was smiling and Jasper had raised eyebrows.
"Stop callin', stop callin'; I don't wanna think anymore,
I left my head and my heart on the dance-floor
Stop callin'', stop callin; I don't wanna talk anymore,
I left my head and my heart on the dance-floor"
We were still dancing and singing, when Miss Baker walked in. By now the rest of the class were cheering and clapping their hands to the song.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!" she screamed at us. Suddenly, we all stopped moving and stared at her. I saw the Cullens giggle quietly at Miss's reaction. "Sit back down, and I don't want you to make one more sound this lesson or you will each have an hour detention after school." She sighed, "Why do you always have to be involved Miss Swan?" She turned her attention back to the pile of folders and sheets covering her desk.
"Definitely just jealous." Rosie whispered to us and we all burst into giggles. Miss Baker gave us another glare. The rest of the lesson was reasonably normal, but I started to notice something about the Cullens. Apart from the fact they kept talking quietly and glancing at me now and again throughout the lesson, they reminded me of something my Mum always told me. I'd never met my Father, but she had told me all about him. He left before I was born, he didn't know Mum was pregnant. She always told me not to blame him because if he had known he probably would have stayed. She said he left to stop the bad vampires being attracted to her, but it doesn't matter that he left. Jacob has always been there for me and Mum, and so have the rest of the pack. Even though they were so angry that Mum had to be 'changed', they have always been our friends. Jake has always protected me from any vampires coming into the area. I didn't get any special vampire abilities from my father, but I don't mind, I actually prefer it that way.
That wasn't the point though, the Cullens reminded me of how my Mum had described him and his family, and perhaps.... they were vampires too? But that is impossible because they would never last out in a school so easily, they would crave the blood so bad. My Dad's family were the only ones who didn't drink people's blood.
"Watcha thinking 'bout Cate?" Rosie asked me.
"Oh nothing, don't worry, just.... daydreaming" I smiled at her, that was believable, I did daydream a lot.
The rest of Maths was boring, we didn't do a lot until the bell rang. After some flirting from Tom and Rosie through break and lunch, not a lot happened. I saw the Cullens around in most classes. But by the end of the day they all hurried off to their cars. When I walked out of school I saw Jake leaning against his car waiting for me as usual.
"Hey Jake." I smiled at him.
"Hey Cate!" he was always too enthusiastic to see me. "Your Mum's not going to be back until about seven-ish, she's hunting. I'll stay round till then." He opened my door and got in his side.

Edward's POV
"Look, we will just have to deal with this." Our whole family was arranged in the living room, "if you are sure about this then we have to find some things out." Carlisle was speaking in his calming voice.
"I can't see her future!" Alice cried out in frustration.
"She recognised us at school, we made her think of someone she knows, but I don't know who." I replied. We were discussing the girl we had all come across at our new school. Maybe coming back to forks was a bad idea.
"I'm telling you, there is something about her." Alice said.
"Look, the kid seemed cool, why don't I just find out a bit about her first and then we can decide what to do." Emmett piped from the couch he was lounged in with his wii remote in one hand.
"That seems like a good idea." Carlisle said.
"Great. But what makes you think you will make such great friends with her. I'm more like her, I could befriend her easily!" Alice said.
"Oh c'mon, she seems so much more like me than you. Tell me this, who is more likely to set a pan on fire, me or you?" Emmett argued with a smile.
"Well yeah but that doesn't prove anything..."
As Alice and Emmett continued to argue, I walked out of the room and to the front door. This was too weird, being back in Forks. I thought it would be alright because it was such a long time ago, but it doesn't seem like long enough. I missed her every day and every night. I always found myself thinking, what would it be like if she was here now? Or what would it be like if I had stayed with her? I often imagine us together, the way things used to be, but I have to tell myself it would never have worked. If I had stayed, she would have been put in danger, and that isn't what I wanted for her. I wonder whether she still thinks about me. It's unlikely, she probably has a new life now with a new man. The thought of Bella with someone else made me angry, but I wanted her to be happy.
I had walked into the woods, the same woods I had left Bella in years ago. It was stupid of me, leaving her in woods. She could have been hurt, she was so vulnerable....
Suddenly, I heard a loud 'crunch' to my right. But before I heard it I smelt it, the blood and the smell of a vampire. I could tell it was none of my family. But it couldn't be someone else! That would mean that Bella had been left here alone, in a place where vampires got to away...
I ran to the spot where I could sense the other vampire, in front of my eyes I saw the back of a beautiful woman. Long brunette hair hung around her, as she bit into the neck of an animal. It was strange to see another vampire drinking animal blood, I'd only ever known other covens to drink humans. The attractive woman spun around as I came into the area. It was then my whole body tensed up. It wouldn't... it couldn't...
It was her. Bella. Right in front of my eyes, the one person I had been thinking of for years. My little Bella drinking from a dear, bright shining golden eyes stared into me.
She wasn't moving, she just stood and stared at me as I did to her.
"B...Bella?!" I cried. I ran to her and dragged her into my arms.
"No!" She screamed. "Get off me!" She used her vampire strength to try and push me away, but even though she was stronger now, she was no match for me. "Edward please!" she cried.
I threw myself away from her. Oh no, what have I done?! Bella is a vampire!! But before I could try to make sense of my thoughts she cut me off.
"What are you doing here?! How can you be here?" She screamed at me.
"We moved back to Forks...." I started, this was too much for me to understand, so I just tried to answer her questions.
"But you left! You said we would never see each other again!" She sounded angry but she didn't look it. She just looked confused, because of me.
"I know. I figured that you probably wouldn't live here anymore. I thought you would have moved somewhere else with a new man and have a perfect life." I couldn't understand what had happened to her. Why was she like this? "Bella..." my voice failed me. "Bella what happened to you?" I managed to whisper.
"What happened to me?!" If she were human she would have been crying now. "You left Edward! That's what happened!" She was shaking.
"Bella I'm so sorry...Please Bella. I can't tell you..." I gave up, I couldn't even give her my words. "I love you. I failed you."
"I love you too Edward. But what about everything that has happened? What are we supposed to do?" She fell down onto the ground and sat staring at the floor. I walked up to her and placed myself beside her.
"It was a few months after you left, that I found out." She placed her hand on my knee. "I was pregnant Edward. You left me with your baby. Obviously with it being part vampire, it wasn't like a normal birth. The only way I could get through it was to become like this." She looked into my eyes and explained to me.
"You mean, I, I have a.... a baby?" I muttered.
"Yes, but she isn't a baby anymore. She is thirteen now. Very talented, but not a baby." Bella finished.
"I have a daughter..."
