(AN: Please review!! I can't be sure how well I'm doing if you guys don't review!)

The babbling girl kept talking, I tried to listen, but it was just so hard! For one thing, Jessica never shut up to make sure I understood anything; another thing is that, I was trying to remember who the Cullens reminded me of... and there was another thing that was distracting me. Edward never stopped staring at me. If I were bolder I would have stared him down till he looked away. But I wasn't, so he kept gazing at me, except he looked kind of pissed and frustrated; curiosity was still evident in his features. The other Cullens also glanced at me every once in a while as well. It was mainly Jasper. I didn't get to see what his face held because he kind of scares me. With all the rummaging in my mind and the stares I could feel focused on me, Jessica was hard to concentrate on.

What I did catch from her was that the Cullens just moved here two years ago. That was a relief- they were outsiders too. "Maybe not as much as I am... but I'm thinking positively today." - Really cuz your doing a wonderful job. What you need to do is forget about the Cullens right now. Then you can think positively. I ignored myself, "I didn't like her tone when she said that the Cullens were adopted. That they lived together... and how they were (according to Jessica) Alice and Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were an ' item'. That's so typical of small towns. They gossip like the worlds going to end tomorrow. I mean does she have the right to gossip about the Cullens like that?" - Do you have the right to defend them like that? And honestly even in the city this would be new.- "... Your right..." - Now. Forget about them! Make it part of your plan, you shouldn't be allowed to think about the Cullens, especially Edward.

But I couldn't forget. Even when Jessica was done talking and I actually heard what she said, the Cullens always seemed to be in the back of my mind... well at least one of them. [ I don't think I need to mention who

I walked with Angela to biology, she was nice, doesn't talk much, but that was a relief seeing as how I had been sitting next to Jessica. I like the quiet anyway. Yes it always makes you think what there really up to. - "Oh shut up! I know that Angela is genuinely sweet and nice." - You're right. There, are you happy now. We're even. "Of COURSE we even were the same person. I need help." - What you need is a miracle. I scowled at myself but apparently I didn't do it as discreetly as I liked. Angela looked at me oddly.

I went to give the slip to the teacher. I noticed that the only chair open was one next to... Edward. "Yes! I thought, "Maybe this will make things easier to figure out who they are." Edward seemed happy, like he was thinking about relatively the same thing. When I turned around to head to my chair after the teacher signed the slip, I saw Edward. He wasn't happy now.

Daggers were coming out of him and pointed straight at me. His fury was so clear that I could almost see he veins bulge, but I had to use some imagination. His hands were clenched into balls making his already pale skin paper white. His legs were pressed hard against the floor, keeping him from moving them with ease. His lips were pierced together forming a hard line that curved wickedly. He terrified me. I was only halfway to my seat. Then I saw his eyes. And I knew exactly who I thought the Cullens reminded me of. His coal black eyes were burning with malicious fire and. hunger. "Oh My Gosh!!! He has black eyes. He has black eyes. Black eyes, black eyes, black eyes, black eyes, black eyes. So help me God he has black eyes!!" - I don't think your in God's playing field anymore sweetie. - "DAh!" I was trying to force back the images that were charging their way into my mental sight. I don't think I could have stopped the memories coming now even if I saw someone in their underwear doing the conga.

The alleyway was darker than I remembered, that man... no that that thing, was on the other side, looking at my... curiously. "Oh no! Just how Edward looked. What kind of place is this? Is this my fate to die? Or to become one of t-" I saw the long room. It was filled with beds and people on them. Some people were shaking some were jittering, some were lying still... and some looked dead. I remembered how a thought it was a hospital at first but then why were we underground and why was everyone on the beds strapped in. And then I saw another image... I saw... It was... Isaac...

"Miss Swan you can take your seat now." The teacher called, apparently watching my face that was filled with a multitude of emotions. "Are you okay Miss Swan."

I mechanically turned to him. and Mechanically said, "Yes." I sat down immediately, though every fiber in me and cell in my brain were screaming to run away right NOW! But my buzzing chest made my mind up for me. "Why is this boy here... no. Not boy, no... vampire"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, your can't say that was the worst hour of your life... but it was pretty far up there.

I stumbled out of the classroom in a daze. It didn't make any since. "Why didn't he just attack me." - Because he didn't want all those witnesses.- "That's a lame excuse. I know, I know that if he would have taken me and all those others." - But he didn't.- " I know! And it doesn't make any sense! Even if he really didn't want to the class, why didn't he lure me out of the way and end me then?" - ... you know. You doing a bang up job of thinking positively. You should be grateful that you're still alive!" I took a renewing breath and went on with the rest of my day.

I w as following a guy named Mike. He seemed nice enough. Probably the nicest person I've met today. I was glad that I made some friends today. I didn't think it would be so easy. At the other school I had friends... but they were just the friends I ate lunch with and had small chat in the halls. The same way you have friends here. That was true. I don't think that I would ever really fit in with anybody. I was never on the same page as everyone. No one truly understood me. Even though at my other school I was one of the best volleyball players there! well... not anymore. Now I hated the idea of gym. "No, don't get into this again. At least wait till I can get home... or preferably never!"

It was my first day, so I could have skipped out on gym... but I wasn't sure if I could just sit another hour and not scream with my past swirling in my head. True, it was safer physically, if I sat out. But mentally is first priority. At least in my book. Well, at least in this case.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was fine at the end of the hour. I had a few bruised, but that's to be expected when your cursed. "Whoops, not gonna think about it." Everyone knew that I was a klutz and they learned rather quickly not to stand to close to me while that there was any movement involved.

I walked to the main office to hand in the slips. When I opened the door, Edward was there. I stepped back. My chest was buzzing, my head was screaming and hurting, my neck was on fire, my limbs were like jelly. I was a mess and I couldn't do a thing about it. But as I watched Edward slowly, the fire was being put out, my head stopped hurting and my limbs were still a little limp. I was mesmerized by every move that Edward made. His lips moved seductively, his hair was in a poetic mess. His eyes weren't aggressive anymore, they were smoldering and irresistible. I wanted to slap myself for thinking this marvel was dangerous. As I watched, the buzz in my chest purred and my heart was beating faster. His hands, or how graceful they were. His cheeks were so inviting, and his nose looked liked it was chiseled by DeVinci himself. "I... I can't be falling for this... for... this vampire." I tried to tell myself to get some sense back, but I couldn't. He was too... too handsome and perfect. My heartbeat was still increasing. And if it still increased I probably would have fainted.

Suddenly, Edward turned around. He heard my heart race. He said something to the lady in purple rather abruptly and stalked out of the room. I took a breath as he swept by and smelled him...

"Um, did you need anything Miss Swan?" The lady looked flustered.

"Here." I handed her the signed slips. "What did Edward want?" I asked, trying to be casual but as usual I failed miserably.

"Well, he wanted to change his biology class to a different time." The receptionist face reddened with embarrassment. " But there was no opening."

I nodded and walked out. I headed for the parking lot. I wanted to contemplate things in my new truck that Charlie got me. But I just remembered that I asked him to drive me. "Dag nab it!" I mumbled as a shuffled toward the exit. I chuckled hysterically. I couldn't stop myself. But for some reason everything was funny. The fact that I said 'dag nab it' was utterly hilarious. "This must be a repercussion of today's events." I sighed as I sat down on the sidewalk.

I saw Charlie's cruiser pull up and giggled as every teenager stopped in their tracks and tried to look as innocent as possible. "Well, I have to admit. I think riding with Charlie was worth seeing Jessica freeze behind the wheel like a deer caught in headlights."

I slid into the car, watching as the students unfroze and went about their business.

"So... How was um, school?" Poor Charlie, at least he's trying.

I smiled a secretive smile, "It was very interesting. I learned a lot about the folks here today."

AN: I do know where I am going. And I will write this story out even if only one person ever reads it! (thanks bloodredeclispe for the review!) I just have to have the patience to write it all out. D
