DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the plot.

Chapter one

"Bella!"

"No Alice"

"BELLA"

"NO ALICE"

A crash - I'm pretty sure she just took mine and Edwards's door off its hinges - and I was facing a truly scary looking Vampire sister. I cringed as her face lit up with a sickly sweet smile.

"Bella, don't you want to look good our first day?" This was rhetorical but I answered anyway. Just to irritate you know.

"Can't say I'm all that bothered, if I'm honest."

"She always looks good, better than good." Edwards's voice floated out of our bathroom.

"Thank you love"

Edwards beautiful crooked smile lit up the room as he walked back in and over to our closet, his hair still damp from the shower. Internal shiver. I bit my lip looking him up and down, causing Alice to snap her fingers in from of my, admittedly severely distracted face.

"Yes Alice?" I spared her a quick glance while crooking my eyebrow, knowing that she was about to pull the classic Alice puppy dog face.

"Please Bella? Just one quick game of Bella Barbie, it won't take more than an hour and a half, I promise and besides I guarantee that Edward will completely adore the look you are sporting. At least until the boys in your second period class start thinking about just what you look like. You know, you could do this one thing for me, your very favourite sister and not put up such a fuss every time I try, I mean this is my hobby, this is what I'm good at, and don't you think that…"

"Alice!"

She cut off mid-sentence and looked up at me with a confused expression on her face.

"Yes Bella?"

"Take a breath pixie. Why don't you just tell me how this conversation is going to end and we will all save ourselves sometime"

Alice's eyes glazed over briefly before she grinned at me, and I knew I was doomed.

"I win. Excellent. And you know by now never to bet against me, sister dear."

Drat. I turned and gave Edward a brief kiss on the lips before Alice grabbed my hand and pulled. Damn psychic sister.

Exactly 92 minutes later my hair had been curled and I was wearing a deep blue tank top, a black leather jacket, black skinny jeans and blue heels. I had to hand it to her, I looked good. Clearly Edward thought so too, since as me and Alice wandered down the stairs after grabbing our school bags, his jaw dropped. I smirked and raised my eyebrow.

"Like what you see?"

He answered by grabbing me round the waist and pulling me close before pressing a tender and loving kiss on my lips.

"You look sensational love. How am I supposed to keep my hands to myself when you look good enough to eat?"

"You'll have to learn to control yourself, Edward; she will always look this good as long as I am around to make sure of it. And trust me that is going to be a long time."

Edward smiled at Alice and mouthed "Thank you" to her. I decided not to point out that as long as we all looked as good as we did, he would hear the thoughts of the petty adolescent humans around us who decided to try and mark us as their next conquest. Not that this would be anything new it happened at every school we went to, although the deep, human Bella part of me had no idea why they would look twice at me next to my sisters. Even after a century and over twenty high school cycles, I still found it hard to believe I was as beautiful as the rest of my family.

"Let's go bitches!" Rosalie called from the garage the extreme boredom she felt at starting school again briefly masked by the excitement of knowing that she was about to be admired by a bunch of teenagers. Male and female alike, it didn't really matter, she was gorgeous and she was not shy about knowing it and flaunting it.

"Whoooooooo!" Emmett's childlike excitement was contagious and I found myself smiling. I looked deep into Edward's eyes before lightly kissing him and stroking his cheek.

We had decided to take two cars as there were now six of us. Emmett's latest monster Jeep and Edward's new shiny silver Volvo. Some things just never changed I guess. We piled into the cars before Emmett stuck his head out of the window with three fingers held up. He put them down slowly one by one before both cars shot down the driveway. After Rose's modifications both cars were over 100 mph before we had covered thirty yards. Since my change I really enjoyed the speed and found myself laughing as we raced down the driveway onto the road and toward the school.

Pulling into the parking lot, we found two spaces next to each other and braced ourselves. The entire student body appeared to be outside to witness the arrival of the new kids. Gracefully, we exited our vehicles and walked towards the office to receive our schedules. Edward held my hand as Jasper held Alice's and Emmett held Rosalie's. I could feel the eyes on me already.

"Oh boy. Here we go…"
