Hey everyone, Thanks for reading the first chapter, it was really more of a tester chapter than anything, just to see if people were interested. It seems like they are…so I decided to keep writing.

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Twilight or the characters…nor do I own Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" or Natasha Bedingfield's "The One that Got Away"…if I did, I'd be rich…boy wouldn't that be nice!

"The One That Got Away"

Morning came and I reluctantly got up. I could only imagine the horrors awaiting me at the prison some call high school. Yet as much as I didn't want to go, I had promised my mom that I would try my hardest, and perhaps this could turn out to be the silver lining of my life…I doubted it greatly, but hey, it never hurts to try.

Jumping into the shower, I wondered if Charlie was home, or if he'd be waiting for me. What should I say? "Hey sorry I never want to come see you?" I wasn't too worried, chances were that Charlie had left, and even if he hadn't, Charlie wasn't much of a talker…much like myself.

I hurriedly brushed my teeth and hair, grabbed an apple, and ran out to my truck. Charlie had surprised me with the Truck, I had been expecting something…well, different. Not that the Truck was a bad surprise, I loved it, but with its rusty red exterior and well worn tires, it screamed "bound to have problems". I hopped in and turned the key, to which the truck responded with nearly blasting my ear drums out. I had not even known any truck other than a semi could make such a noise. I tried to ignore it as I pulled out, and on to the highway. It wasn't long before I found myself in the school parking lot, with many staring faces. I shut off the truck as soon as I was in a parking spot.

I then proceeded to what I assumed to be the main building, passing what seemed to be the fanciest car in the lot, a shiny silver Volvo, on the way. I wondered what stuck up spoiled kid drove that. I also wondered why they went to this school…the family was obviously loaded if the teenager in High School was driving a brand new Volvo. Why not send them to a private school. I didn't care enough to actually find out the answers.

Once I entered the small office, I collected my schedule from the homely looking secretary, and hurried off to my first class. The classes all blended into one, I didn't really care enough to try and make friends. Not that I would've had to try hard. By lunch time I had a curly haired girl by the name of Jessica leading me around everywhere like I was her latest accessory. Normally I would have tried to shake her off, but I didn't know enough about the school to go around by myself.

At lunch, Jessica became useful. At least now I had somewhere to sit, instead of eating in the Library like I had done in Phoenix. She introduced me to her friends, names and faces blurred together and I immediately forgot every single one of them. Mike, a round faced boy immediately stood up to give me a seat; I took it, not making eye contact. Soon everyone was immersed in conversation. Luckily my input was not required in the conversation, leaving my mind to wander.

I glanced around the cafeteria and immediately spotted the only other people in the place who looked as bored as I was. They were beautiful, all of them. There were five in all. One large muscular boy with dark curls that fell carelessly on his head, a tall, lean blonde haired boy who was sitting farthest away from the crowds and seemed to be uncomfortable, another tall blonde, but she was drop dead gorgeous, why she was here when she obviously belonged on a runway was a mystery to me. That left the smallest pixie like girl with sharp black spikes, and the youngest boy. He was gorgeous, so much so that I couldn't decide if it was the blond female or him who was more beautiful. His messy bronze hair fell on his head so perfectly that it looked accidental. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Who were these people? How were they not surrounded by admirers as they deserved to be? I wanted to ask, but didn't want to seem nosy, so I sat and observed, leaving the rest of the world behind.

Mike's POV

I couldn't believe my luck. Isabella Swan, or Bella, was sitting next to me. She was so hot; I had to make her mine. But she seemed so uninterested in all of us, not bothering to say anything. I wondered what was capturing her attention, and when I looked I felt a sinking sensation in my stomach. The Cullen's. Of course, what girl didn't drool over them? I guess I'd only have to wait a short while…it wouldn't be long before she found out how isolated the Cullen's and Hales made themselves. I felt invisible…and to her I was.

"Would you spare a minute, give me a single chance to look in your eyes, let me hold your hand. I want to get close enough to read you, understand you," I sang softly, trying to capture her attention, but her attention stayed with the Cullen's. "Open up your heart, open up your mind. Nobody needs another stalker in their life." No need to travel down that road again…So he was overly friendly…no need to call him a stalker…"I'm only here to help you learn to help you learn to love me, to know me."

She persisted in not looking at me but continued to stare at Cullen's. I wondered if I'd ever get her attention, and then I realized…I'm Mike Newton, of course I'd get her attention!

I tried to get my head in between her and the Cullen's. She merely moved a little bit, sniffing impatiently. "I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away. I need a look that stuns you makes you want to stay. Don't want to speak in case it comes out wrong; don't want to blink 'cause in that second you could be gone."

I jumped when she stood up, and I realized that Lunch was over. I followed her out, still singing softly to her, wanting so desperately for her to hear. "I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around. I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground…"

She rushed out the door outside, and I still followed, I realized she was confused and attempted to locate her next class. I cautiously walked up and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hi!" I said lamely.

"Oh, hi…uhhh…" she said, staring into my face.

"Mike." I reminded her, my heart fell into my stomach. "Do you need some help?"

"Yeah," she handed me her schedule. I looked at it and memorized her schedule. You never knew when such a thing would come in handy…such as when I'd be walking her to class… "Oh! You have Biology with me!"

My heart soared, hoorah! We walked in silence mostly, making a little small talk. She didn't seem too interested in talking. I looked around at the Biology building we were both headed too and a familiar bronze head was entering at that moment. My heart sank again…I had forgotten that Cullen was in this class with me…the kid never talked. My heart sank even more when I remembered that he was the only one without a lab partner. The odds were against me…

"I wish I didn't have a lab partner…I'd much rather be partnered with you." I said, voicing my thoughts. Bella's cheeks blushed and she didn't say anything. We made it to the class room and stepped inside. "Meet me in the middle like I want you to, I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through…"

BPOV

I kindly thanked Mike for escorting me to class, and he gave me a sad smile and went to go sit at his table. I walked over to Mr. Banner and told him my name; he pointed me to the table that I was to sit at, as I followed his finger, my heart stopped. There he was, that boy. The bronze haired boy from the lunch table, he was even more beautiful close up. I walked up slowly to the table and sat down. I was in awe of him, so beautiful, more inhuman than anything. He turned to look at me with the darkest eyes, piercing right though me with his deadly gaze. It would seem that he hated me, pure hatred. Had he seen me staring? I felt the song in my heart fluttering to escape; it came out in a whisper…

"Did you see me staring, you caught my eye…Don't turn around…don't walk away…The night is young can we get together?" I couldn't believe how forward I was being, I didn't even know this person, but I felt this desire to get to know him. "Got so many questions, feelings I can't explain…We're worlds apart, don't even know your name. I'm longing to give you my heart."

I was amazed at the sincerity in my words. I really meant everything that I sang. Class started, but my song grew. The class was focused on Mr. Banner, but I was focused on him.

"I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away; I need a look that stuns you makes you want to stay." I doubted that I would be able to make him stay with a look…"Don't want to speak in case it comes out wrong, don't want to blink cause in that second you could be gone…"

I stood up and circled around him, no one in the class stirred, everyone was still facing Mr. Banner. I got down into his face and sang directly to him. "I need a twist to turn this story round; I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground…"

I sat back down in my seat, continuing to stare at me. He had pushed himself to the far side of the table, and was now clutching the edge so hard his already white knuckles were even whiter. His face was contorted in this look of disgust. And he sat like that for the 

remainder of the class. "Meet me in the middle like I want you to, I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through."

When class ended, he instantly was up and out the door before I had even noticed it was time to go. My heart broke…though I don't know why…I didn't even know his name.

"Turn around," I sang to him as he disappeared out the door. "Don't evaporate like you never came…" I rushed to follow him out, and could see him already quite a distance away; walking so fast he was almost running. "Turn around," I begged him once more, letting my voice rise. I watched him disappear behind the corner of a building, and I couldn't see him anymore. "Don't be a ghost, forever never there to haunt me…"

"There's a chance and it won't come again, turn around, your whole life has changed…"

I unwillingly turned in the opposite direction and began to walk towards Gym.

3rd Person POV

Bella and Mike both made their way to Gym, each following a different path. Both had the same downcast expression on their face and both felt the same song in their heart.

"I need a hook so you won't be the one who got away; I need a look that stuns you makes you want to stay…" They both sang, letting the song carry them away. Mike kicked angrily at some gravel on the sidewalk, while Bella brought her hands up to her face to angrily brush the hair out of her eyes. "Don't want to speak in case it comes out wrong, don't want to blink cause in that second you could be gone. I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story around. I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground…Meet me in the middle like I want you to…"

Bella walked through the doors of the Gym and went to find Coach Clapp, so frustrated that the last line of her song wouldn't come out. The door that she had just gone through slapped in Mike's face and he stared at if for a second. "I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through." And, sticking his hands in his pockets, he continued through the door and into the Gym.

So this chapter ended up being a lot longer that I had planned it, which is cool. Leave me a review, tell me what you like, don't like, are confused on, etc.

Next chapter coming soon!!
