Hi, here is another chapter, let me know if you like it! Oh and sorry about Bella's unrealistic age considering 800 years ago they did not have any idea about tumours and such, but it was not really supposed to be realistic, i mainly chose that age to fit in with her character as well as how her future may link to it. Thank you for your reviews! Feel free to share idea's =)
The Ugh, I must have been running for what? 3 days now? Ah, there's the sign. 'Welcome to Forks', I might have felt welcomed if the sign didn't look like it was falling to pieces, this is just great. Sorry to interrupt your sarcasm, but don't you think you should arrive with something more than a back pack and arrive in transport. It might look strange strolling into forks with barely anything. Urgh, fine, I will go get a car, but I refuse to go clothes shopping, I'll use the internet or something to order. Well, it's good to know you have some sense. Oh shut up you stupid, crazy little voice I mumble under my breath. Says she who talks to herself. Fine, let's just get this over with.
It didn't take long for me to get myself a car. I do have a fair bit of money considering I have been around for quite a while so I got myself a nice Aston martin, there was this old beat up red truck, but I fear it may kill me if I could die. I also, much to my irritation, decided to pick up a few things from the stores so it looked like I was moving in and not back packing through the country. I had already bought in advance a log cabin that's in the woodland part but not too far from the road.
Once I had unpacked everything and sorted things out with school and my cover story. (I decided that my cover story would be that my dad is in the army and I had enough of following him around the country so he set me up here with some money, I am also without a mother. Simple and believable) I settled down for a night's sleep, already dreading my first day at school.
Something is really weird about this place. I woke up early this morning and decided to explore a bit and came across the border between Forks and La push and apart from this strange dog smell, I could smell and almost feel a line of some sort. I think it is a treaty line and by the strange intoxicating smell in the woods in forks, I know I am not the only supernatural around here. This boring place suddenly got a whole lot more exciting, I can't wait to see what is around here. So I walked back to my cabin feeling a bit giddy. 'sigh', don't you think you should be taking this more seriously. These new super natural's could be a threat to us. You can't expose our secret. No worries, I won't expose myself unless I know it is 100% safe and before you lecture me again, you know that it sucks walking this world alone without having any friends you can be honest with, is it bad to want that? Fine, but only if it is safe, god sometimes I feel like I am talking to a child. Nope you're just my more mature counterpart. Lol.
When I arrive home I strip out of my jogging bottoms and T-shirt to put on a pair of close fitting jeans, ug boots, and a black top were the sleeves go half way down my arms and expose a small amount of cleavage. I am a little exposed, but not enough to look slutty.
I hop in to my car and head for school knowing I only have about 5 minutes to get there. Of course with all my heightened senses I can't help but speed down the roads at insane speeds but I have not got the patients to drive at human pace, so I made it there with 2.5 minutes to spare.
As soon as I pull into the car park just about everyone's eyes are on my car and I already hate the attention. I should have known a car like this would get me some attention. But, there is a Volvo and an awesome looking truck in the car park as well, guess its ok then. Few.
I sit in the car for a moment trying to mentally prepare myself for my entry into this school, already knowing that I will probably be the centre of attention for the next few weeks. Kill me now.
I open my car door and slowly step out, slamming the door shut behind me. I can already feel the stares I am getting, and my old nervous habit kicks in as I run my hand through my hair pulling it out of my face. I do a quick scan of the car park remembering that other super naturals are here, but when the sweet scent hits me my head snaps to them straight away. What are they doing in a school! 5 of them with pale white skin, unreal beauty, absent heart beats and red eyes. Wait, not red, golden brown? They must feed from animals. Vampires.
There are 3 males and 2 females. The first guy I can see is HUGE. Very muscular with dark brown hair and from the back of him, you would feel extremely intimidated, but the goofy grin on his face makes you more relaxed as he is obviously just a big teddy bear, I bet he likes to pull pranks. Next to him is a woman who looks like she could be a super model, she has a very classic beauty with her long blond hair and sharp features. However, by the looks of the ice cold glares she is directing at everyone, she is a bit of a bitch. She must be the big ones mate.
Standing next to the couple are the other 3. One of the males has curly dirty blond hair and his body looks to be covered in scares, bite marks to be more precise. Definitely dangerous considering he is still alive. His expression is pained which shows me that he is struggling to control his thirst around humans. If he can't control it, then he should not be here. Idiot.
On one side of him is the other male. To put it simply, he annoys me. From what I have heard since arriving, all the girls here adore him and think his sex hair makes him look hawt. I personally think it makes him look like an idiot. Anyway, he keeps on changing his facial expression from smug, to disgusted, but when he peers at me, his expression goes from confused to glaring at me. Charming.
I look away from antsy pants to glance at the final person in the group and let me tell you, she was stunning. Not beautiful in the classic sense like the blonde, but in a more playful, devious and sexy way. If you ask me she is more beautiful than the blonde with her spikey dark brown hair, petite frame and short stature. The playful glint in her eyes lures me in like a magnet and before you know it I am staring at her. She seems to be having the same problem as me as she seems to be staring directly back, almost as if she can see right through me.
I quickly break eye contact and head towards the office to collect my schedule, ignoring all of the eyes on my back as I leave.
After collecting my schedule from the rather slow woman sitting behind her desk acting like she owned the place, I headed off to first lesson, already knowing my entire schedule and were all my classes are.
Just as I am about to reach my class room a rather geeky looking guy practically jumps at me acting like an energised bunny rabbit.
"Hi, I'm Eric Yorkie you must be the new girl, Isabella right" he said more as a statement rather than a question.
"I prefer Bella but yeah that's me" I say trying to get him to hurry along so I can get in my classroom.
"I knew it, so can I walk you to class, you must be lost being it your first day and all". Who does he think he is? Prince charming, come to save me from my impending doom of being late to class? I know where I am going idiot.
"No thanks, I am at my class now, so if you don't mind I will be leaving now". He looks a little disappointed when he says that until he suddenly perks up again. What a weird guy.
"That's cool, you should come sit with me and my group of friends at Lunch, you know, to help you settle in a bit more". Urgh, can he get any more annoying. You know what, fine whatever, I can't be asked.
"Sure thing, bye". It's not like I have to sit with them anyway, I'll just leave or whatever.
I walk into history and the first thing I notice is that one of the vampires is here. From what I have picked up from the humans conversation is that they are known as the Cullen's, Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, Edward and Alice. So Alice was her name. They are living with their parents, Esme and Carlisle who must be the leader of the coven.
So it seems I will be sharing my History lessons with Jasper, and to top it all off, I even have to sit next to him. So if they haven't already figured out that I am not human, they certainly will now.
As soon as I take my seat next to him, his facial expression seems to relax and he no longer looks pained. I guess my scent must help drown out the humans to help him relax more, not surprising really. I am sort of like an air freshener, I smell good, but you wouldn't want to eat me.
About half way through the lesson I decide to turn to him as the eyes burning into the side of my head are beginning to annoy me. "Can I help you Jasper Cullen?" I decided to say in mock politeness.
He seems taken aback slightly by my tone but continues. "What are you?" he asks in a tone to low for humans to here but plenty loud enough for my ears to pick up.
I smirk slightly before replying just as quietly "Why would I give out details about myself to someone I have just met. You of all people should know that trust is earned and therefore, I will not pry into your families secrets if you stay out of mine".
For the first time I have seen him, Jasper gives me a genuine smile "Of course".
History was surprisingly fun. We were discussing the civil war, considering I had actually lived through it and participated, it was rather easy, and by the animated look in Jaspers eyes, I have a feeling he lived through it too. We even began discussing it together, talking about our different points of view on the matter etc. The teacher seems absolutely thrilled to have another history lover in the class.
My next lessons, Spanish and free seemed to fly by, not encountering anymore Vampires in them either. I should be relieved but I can't help being a little disappointed, Jasper seems nice enough and I kind of want to meet the little Pixie, I mean Alice.
It is Lunch time now and as I walk down the halls to the cafeteria taking in the different smells of food, I couldn't be happier that I brought in my own lunch, that stuff smells rank! I haven't come across Eric yet, thank god! I really want to avoid his lunch table at all costs if I can help it. It didn't take long to get cornered in Spanish by Mike and Jess who heard I would be joining them. Urgh, I want to avoid all of them if possible.
Anyway, as I make my way to the doors of the Café I come across Jasper at the same time. We both stop and look at each other for a moment before he offers his arm. "May you be so kind as to let me escort you to Lunch my dear" he says in his southern drawl.
If he had been any other boy at school I would have been offended by the fact he called me dear and sounding as though he is coming onto me, but I do believe that this is the customs of his time, so I happily accept his arm. "Well, it's not that far, but I wouldn't mind the company" I say in a polite voice. What? I can do polite when I put my mind to it.
He smiles at me again before we both enter the cafeteria pushing both doors open as we make our way through. The entire room falls silent as they turn to face us before turning to each other whispering about us. 'Do you see that?' 'That slapper already got her claws into a Cullen' 'The Cullen's never talk to anyone, why her?'
I sigh, already reprimanding myself for being silly enough to forget that entering with him would grab more attention than needed. But, I don't intend on showing my discomfort, I keep my head held high turning to Jasper. "I don't know how you do it, all this attention is driving me fucking crazy" I say loud enough for all the vampires in the room to here, but not the humans. I know very well that Jaspers family is in the corner, some glaring at us while they listen in.
"Tell me about it, I have to stop myself from sinking my teeth into them every time they try to court me" he says rolling his eyes in exasperation before snapping them open in shock to what he had just given away.
I just smirk saying "Don't worry about it Jazz, it wasn't that hard to figure out you Vant to suck there blood" I say in a very poor Dracula voice to try and lighten the mood. Jaspers Light laugh and the booming laugh from over the other side of the cafeteria lets me know it worked.
Just as we are about to walk further in Eric approaches me cautiously but with determination. "Hey Bella" He says cheerily.
Fuck no. I thought I had escaped this little creep. I quickly move behind Jasper with my Head peeping over his shoulder "Err, hi Eric". I can already here the other Cullen's chuckling from the other side of the cafeteria and turn to shoot them a glare quickly.
"Come on Bella, my tables over there, you did say you would sit with us today" under my breath I say 'yeah so I could show up to class on time Mr I won't take No for an answer'. Now even Jaspers giggling.
"Well, err, I guess I did. But err, well, the thing is…" I trail off not really knowing what to say so I won't hurt the kid's feelings.
He then grabs my arm from behind Jasper and starts pulling me to his table "Well, what are we waiting for" he says with enthusiasm.
I quickly turn to jasper begging in a quiet voice to save me, but he just shakes his head smiling going over to his siblings table. As he gets there, his face turns pained again and I think he is beginning to regret not helping me so I smirk slightly at his bad calmer before turning back to my situation.
Well fuck me, how did I end up sitting with Jess and Mike on one side, and Eric on the other? Ben, Angela, Lauren and Tyler are sat opposite as well, but I don't mind Ben and Angela. Well, you running your mouth off trying to get to class may be why you're here. I wondered when you would show up again.
Before this mental argument can start Jess speaks. "So you know Jasper?" No, of course not, I just walked in, arm in arm with someone I don't know. "Yes, don't you?"
"No one talks to the Cullen's, there all a bunch of freaks" says Mike with a bit of jealousy.
"Like tots, I mean, there all adopted but the big one Emmett, and the Blond Rosalie are like a thing, eww, and Jasper and Edward like don't go for anyone, proper weird right?"
"Oh so when did they turn you down?" I blurt before I can stop myself. Angela giggles a little and I can here the chuckling coming from the Cullen table, they never heard of privacy?
"The last one is really, really weird, her name is Alice" Like I didn't know their names already, she completely ignored my comment though. Damn her.
"Why oh why is the little one weird" I say in an overly dramatic tone, eliciting laughs from the Cullen's, Angela and Ben yet again.
She comes closer to my ear then saying "Because she's like totally gay".
The atmosphere suddenly feels tense as if my reaction will determine things. I hate tense atmospheres. Then be your usually goofy self and get rid of it, duh. Fine. I turn around and make it look like I am giving her a once over before almost getting lost in her eyes again before turning back to Jess. "No she's not" I say simply. I can see in the corner of my eye Alice's shoulders slump and Rosalie giving me a death glare, I just smirk.
"What, of course she is, we saw her" replies Jess rather smugly.
I just laugh "Well as interesting as it may be catching her in the act.." I pause looking at her again. Ignoring the stab of pain I feel at the thought of her with someone else. "I am pretty, 100% sure that little Alice does not have the equipment to be gay".
Alice looks confused not quite comprehending what I have said or what it is supposed to mean. But from the sound of Jasper and Edwards laughing, I think it has dawned on them what I am saying.
"What has that got to do with anything?" continues Jess looking as confused as the rest of the table while Angela tries desperately not to laugh.
"Oh I am sorry, I thought that by insinuating Alice is gay would also mean that Alice was of the male Gender crushing on males. I do believe the correct term you should have used was lesbian which would clarify Alice crushing on someone of the same, female gender" I finish my little speech in a very scientific tone. Angela can't hold it in anymore and laughs as do the Cullen's.
"OMG, are you like seriously ok with this? She's like a proper little freak and you're sat there joking about it" Jess looks distraught for not being able to elicit an angry response from me.
I just shrug my shoulders at her"Why wouldn't I be? Love is not defined by Gender nor should it be changed because of society's influences, nor are we in any position to show distaste in such a manner that it causes others discomfort and or pain. Love is love, no matter what form or who it is directed at" I finish before realising I have lapsed back into someone sounding far too wise for their age. Well do something then, act like an idiot or something to change that fact.
"Besides.." I say leaning into Jess getting so close to her face that she can feel me breath on her. Her heart rate has picked up and her eyes are flicking to my lips occasionally. I gently trail my hand down her cheek and brush her hair behind her ear.
Just as she leans into make contact with our lips I pull back slightly with a smirk. "Everyone has a little gay/lesbianism in there somewhere if you know where to look".
Everyone starts laughing, except Jessica who has blushed crimson, just as the bell goes. "Damn that was hot" hoots Mike as he high 5's Tyler. I just roles my eyes and stand up. Time for PE, oh joy.
I can see Eric is about to stand up and follow me so I practically sprint at human pace away, running straight into the body of Emmett Cullen. "Whoa, what's got you in a hurry, can't be to get to lesson now can it?"
"Ha ha, funny" I say turning around to see Eric still on pursuit. "Hey Emmett, old pal, old buddy, do me a favour will you?"
I can see the humour in his eyes as he replies. "And what might that be Bella Bear"
I was about to respond when it hits me that he just called me Bella Bear, fine. "Well Emmy Bear, I would very much appreciate it if.."
I was cut off by Eric saying "Bella, let me walk you to class…".
I then cut him off, "sorry Eric, but Emmy Bear here offered so kindly so I will have to decline".
I can see Emmett about to object and let me suffer at the hands of Eric Yorkie so I quickly stamp on his foot. I guess I did that a little harder than necessary as he then hops around grabbing his foot "Mother fuc…"
"right emmy?" I ask in fake innocence.
Alice then walks up to us laughing going "Sorry Eric, but we will be escorting Bella today as we all have the same class now"
"Oh alright then, I will see you later then Bella" He say walking off disappointed.
"god I hope not" I say quietly. Alice laughs then and I turn to her.
"We haven't officially met yet, I am Isabella Swan but prefer Bella, and you are?" she giggles slightly shaking my offered hand and silently gasping at the electricity of the touch we both feel before saying.
"I am sure you already know but I am Alice Cullen"
"hey, where's my 'official introduction' huh?" says Emmett who looks like he has recovered.
"You called me Bella Bear" I say as if that's answer enough.
"You stood on my foot" he shoots back.
"you were about to lumber me with Eric" I reply raising an eyebrow at him.
He looks a little sheepish before something dawns on him. "You were able to hurt me?" he questions in shock.
"You still have your foot attached" I once again, venture into the dramatics, acting mockingly shocked.
"What are you exactly?" asks Alice with the look of pure mirth in her eyes.
I just smirk. "Your brother asked the same thing so I will give the same answer. Trust is earned and therefore, I will not ask about your secrets if you lay off mine".
Emmett whines then "That's hardly fair, you already know our secret". "I may know what you are Emmett, but everyone has secrets of their past present and future" I say turning to Alice, "that I am sure you do not want me to know, at least not yet"
"Now shall we head to PE before we are late, or should we stand here with you all gawking at me?" I say with a grin.
Hope you liked it!
