Brie's POV:

I was woken up by a small breeze and the sunlight in my face. A groan came out my mouth as I opened my left eye only to see Bella standing in front of the window with a smile across her face. I groaned again and threw the covers over me trying to get back to sleep only for Bella to pull them off me.

"Bella!" I screamed as I started shivering as another breeze came into the room.

"Rise and shine Brianna. Time for school" Bella said as she pick the covers up from the floor.

"Ugh. It's 6am Bella" I groaned as I picked up my phone looking at the time.

"The time you get your ass out of bed and ready for school. It will be time to leave. Chop chop" she clapped.

I rolled my eyes as I tempted to stand up from my bed. I stretched as stood up and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Once I finished I started getting dressed before doing my hair and makeup. I went for a natural look as I didn't really have time to go all out. Besides its just school and quite frankly I have no one to impress. For my hair I went for the bed head look with a brush through it. Once I finished I jogged downstairs only to meet my dad and bella at the table already eating their breakfast. I grabbed a bowl from the cupboard and pour some cereal into the bowl. Once the milk was added I took a seat next to Bella who was munching on her food while texting Edward. There was a long silence as we all sat head down. Surely they don't sit like this everyone and not have a conversation.

"So dad busy day today?" I asked trying to break the silence as his head popped up.

"No sweetheart, just a typical day of being a police officer" he smiled as he stood up from the table to put his bowl in the sink. He started washing up as I stood from my spot.

"Don't worry dad I got this" I smiled as I pushed him softly out the way.

"Thanks Brie" he kissed the top of my head. He moved away to grab his keys from the top counter "I'll be back about tea time. Have a good day at schools guy" Charlie said before leaving the house.

I filled the sink with soap and hot water. As I waited I looked at Bella who was now just playing with her spoon. "Are you done?" I asked as I moved towards her grabbing for the bowl that was in front of her.

Bella looked up "Sorry. Yeah I am done thanks" she smiled as I took her bowl and started washing it in the sink. "You nearly done? We need to head to school now or we'll be late"

I poured the basin of dirty water out and cleaning any spillages that I had made before grabbing my bag and heading to the door.

Loud, belching and turning heads as Bella parks, I looked mortified. All eyes are on me as I climbs out of Bella's truck and I hear a squish from Bella's side as she steps in a puddle, soaking her sneakers. I slinks toward school with Bella by my side. I make my way through kids who stare openly; a few brave ones say hi. They're all talking about me. Great this is all I need.

"Is everyone always like this?" I mumbled to Bella as she chuckled.

"Don't worry I got the same reception when I first moved here. You ignore it after a while" Bella shrugged as went up to her locker. "You'll need to grab your schedule at the reception. I'll meet you back here in 5 minutes, I am going to talk to Edward" she nodded her head towards him as I looked his way. He was leaning against his locker staring at Bella. Looked like he could hear our conversation as he smiled when Bella mentioned going over to him. I turned my head back "Okay I'll see you soon"

I traipsed down the corridor in the direction of reception as I followed the signs. I looked down most of the way as I could feel a lot of eyes staring at me. I looked up as I got nearer to the reception, as I turned my head towards two girls who were totally talking about me.

"Who is that?" I heard one girl saying to her friend.

"I don't know but why is she soo pretty" some other girl admired.

"She cant be Bella Swans sister. She's so hot" I heard a guy who looked like a jock smirk to his friends, checking me out as I passed the with my cheeks looking flushed.

My journey to the reception was cut short when a sweet, nerd like boy stood in front of me "You're Brianna Swan, the new girl, Bella Swans's sister. Hi. I'm Eric. The eyes and ears of this place. Anything you need. Tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to cry on" I just looks at him. Is he for real?

"Umm okay. Ill take the tour guide position thanks" I smiled as I didn't want him asking why I didn't want him thinking I wanted anything more than just friends.

"Great choice" he smiled "I see you were on your way to get your schedule right this way" he said as he lead me into the reception. He walked over to the receptionist "Hi there. Brianna Swan's schedule please"

I laughed at his enthusiasm. "Uh I think I can ask for my schedule myself but thank you" I smiled as I walked passed him to grab my schedule from the receptionist who had my schedule in her hand. I took it as I thanked her before walking out with Eric right in my tracks.

I looked at my schedule as I had no clue where my classes were. I guess I am thankful for Eric to help me get to them "Uh"

Eric peaked over my shoulder "Oh you have the same first class as me"

I scrunched up my face "Aren't you in Bella's year?"

He nodded "Yeah and I know your in the year below but they tend to mix the classes together as some of the younger ones are more smarter than my year. But don't worry you'll have at least 3 friendly faces you'll know. Bella and Edward are in the same class"

Great I have the same class as Bella "Would you mind just pointing me toward Mr. Varner's class?" He leads me away, enjoying the attentive stares, as I cringes from them.

A hour and a half dragged as I sat in class with my head in my hands. I could fall asleep that the class was that boring. I looked over at Bella who was sat a few seats away from me who was sitting next to Edward. Shocker. I watched as they both shared glances and smiles as the teacher was talking. I looked down and jotted down some notes that I thought would come in handy incase of any small exams that were coming up. The bell rang as the whole class raised to their feet. I walked over to Bella and Edward who were busy putting their books in their bags. Luckily for me Bella was in my next class. Gym. Great my favourite class. Haha could you sense the sarcasm.

The boys' basketball team runs drills on half the basketball court. A girls' volleyball game occupies the other half. Bella, in gym clothes, avoids the volleyball like it's radioactive. An energetic, athletic team captain, Jessica, motivates the players. "Block it, Chloe! Yeah! Good attack!"

Unfortunately, the volleyball heads toward me. I close my eyes and flails at it, smacking it. It flies off court and beans a basketball player in the head. He is Mike Newton, good looking, affable, with blonde spiky hair. "Ow!" He rubs the back of the head.

I hurried towards him "Oh my god are you okay? I am so sorry. I panicked. The ball was coming toward me" I looked embarrassed.

"Its only a flesh wound" Mike grins as I smiled. Relieved. A bell rings. Class over. "Your Bella's sister aren't you"

"Yeah I am Brie." I shook his hand.

"I'm Mike Newton" he looks at me for a second too long, clearly taken my me.

Suddenly, Jessica appears, stepping between them. Subtle, but possessive as she nudges Mike. "She's got a great spike, doesn't she? Your Brianna right?"

"Brie" I corrected her. Bella walks up to them. Thank god I couldn't bare Jessica's eyes burning into me as she could see Mike smiling at me.

"I guess you get your clumsiness from me after all" Bella smirked as she put her arm around my shoulder.

I fake laughed "Funny"

Bella could see Jessica glaring at me "Come on Brie lets go to lunch" she said dragging me out the gym. Once we got changed we headed from the cafeteria. I carried my tray to the table following Bella with Jessica and Mike right behind us.

Eric appears, and squishes into a seat next to mine. "Mike, you met my home girl Brianna"

"Your home girl?" Mike raised an eyebrow.

Jessica glances at me "It's first grade all over again, and you're the shiny new toy" I smile awkwardly. Bella excuses herself from the table as she see's Edward. I began eating my lunch when the double doors of the cafeteria fly open.

Two guys, two girls, all chalky pale, purplish shadows under their eyes and all devastatingly beautiful. They move through the room with effortless grace, and take a seat at a table furthest from Brie's. Brie leans over to Jessica and Angela. "Who are they?"

Jessica glances at them "The cullens. As in your sisters boyfriend's 'family'" she raised quotations on the word family.

Jessica leans in, swinging into gossip mode. "Doctor and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids. They all moved down here from Alaska two years ago"

"They kinda keep to themselves" Angela added.

"Because they're all together. Like, together together. The blonde girl, Rosalie, and the big dark-haired guy, Emmett"

I looked at Rosalie she had long blonde hair, model beautiful, knows it. Alongside her is Emmett,, big, brawny, like a weight lifter, but a playful glint in his eye. "they're a thing. I'm not even sure that's legal"

Angela rolls her eyes "Jess, they're not actually related"

"But they live together. And the little dark haired girl, Alice, she's really weird" Jessica continued.

I looked over at Alice, she was pixie-like, rail thin, light on her feet with short, black hair going in every direction. She hovers over, Jasper, honey-blond hair, tall, lean, slightly tortured.

"She's with Jasper, the blonde who looks like he's in pain. I mean, Dr. Cullen's like this foster dad slash match maker"

"Maybe he'll adopt me" Angela mumbled playing with her food as Brie laughs, liking her.

Bella and Edward join the table "Have we missed anything?"

I shook my head "Not really. Just Jessica and Angela catching me up on who's who. Your family seem nice" I turned my glance towards Edward.

"Majority of them are. Rosalie is the one you gotta watch out for. She can be a bit of a bitch when she wants to be" Edward looks at me. Did he really call his 'sister' a bitch.

Bella chuckles "More like all the time That's the only trait she has"

I smirked at Bella's comment as I watch Edward's mouth form a smirk as he kissed the top of Bella's head. I smiled at them. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought.

I looked at his eyes they had changed colour before when they had first met. "Did you get contacts?"

"No" Edward bluntly said as Bella looked at him a little worried.

I leaned over the table to take a closer look "Your eyes were black before, now they're this golden brown"

"It's just the fluorescents" He abruptly stands up and walks away with Bella running after him. As he does, Brie notes his hands clenched into tight fists. Off Brie, utterly bewildered and intrigued.

After school she headed out the door as she walked towards Bella's truck with Bella nowhere insight. Probably trying to calm Edward down whatever his problem was. Why did he act so weird by a simple question I asked. And why did Bella look at him worryingly as I asked the question. Something weird is going on and I wanna know.

My thoughts got interrupted when Eric jumped in front of me. "La Push, baby. You in?"

"Should I know what that means?" I raised an eyebrow as Mike, Jessica and Angela walked up.

"La Push beach, down on the Quileute rez. We're all going soon. Big swell coming in"

"And I don't just surf the internet" Eric said as he pretend to surf on an imaginary surf board.

Jessica rolls her eyes "Eric, you stood up once. On a foam board"

"There's whale watching, too. Come with" Angela added

"La Push, baby" Eric smirked

"I'll go if you stop saying that" I laughed. I saw Edward walk out of the school himself. "I'll be back" I ran up to Edward "Hey. I just wanted to apologise if I made angry and by the way you balled your fists as you stormed off it says it all"

A small smile formed on his face "Don't worry about it. I reacted badly about it. You only asked me a question so I am sorry"

I sighed in relief. He wasn't angry with me anymore "Why don't you and Bella come to the beach with us" she looked back at the group who waited for her "It'll be fun sand fleas, wind burn, salt water stinging your eyes"

Edward's small smile on his face looked like he was considering it "Which beach?"

"La Push" His smile lessens almost imperceptibly. "Is something wrong with that beach?" Edward glances over at Mike the two exchange cold looks.

"It's just a little crowded. And besides me and Bella have plans. You go. Ill tell her you went to the beach so she doesn't wait for you"

I nodded slowly as he started to become weirder and weirder in her opinion. Something was off with him but I shrugged it off "Okay tell Bella I'll see her at home" I gave him a small smile before heading back to the group.

It's freezing, but Mike, Tyler, Jessica and others suit up for a surf. Eric hangs with them. Brie wanders by the driftwood with Angela, who takes photographs "I keep thinking Eric's going to ask me to prom, then he just... doesn't"

"You could ask him" I smile at Angela's flustered look "Take control. You're a strong independent woman"

" I am?" Angela questioned.

"Brie!" I looks up to see three Quileute boys approaching the group; Jacob Black, and Sam and Embry. I smile at Jacob. "Guys, this is Jacob. Are you stalking me?"

Jacob raised his eyebrow "You're on my rez, remember? You surfing?"

"Definitely not" I laughed as I leaned against the truck.

"Keep her company. Her sister and Edward bailed"

"She invited Edward"

"To be polite. He is my sisters boyfriend" I argued.

" I think it's nice she invited him. No one ever does except Bella of course but they never hand out with us"

"Because Cullen's a freak" Mike announced.

"You got that right" Sam agreed.

I looked over at Sam "You know them?" It sounded like they did. But how.

"The Cullens don't come here" Sam said sharply. It sounds like they are hated in the town. Wonder why.

Jacob shoots Sam a look, shakes his head. Brie registers this. A beat, then I casually pull Jacob aside "You want to go look at tide pools?" I offer an awkwardly flirtatious smile. He grins, infatuated. As we head toward the water. We wander near the water, looking out to sea for whales. The surfers are out on the waves. I nudge him, continuing my attempt at flirtation "So, what did your friend mean about the Cullens not coming here?"

"Oops. Caught that, huh?" He moves closer to me, lowering his voice for mock-secrecy. "I'm not supposed to say anything"

I give him her best alluring smile "I can keep a secret"

Jacob starts laughing "It's just an old scary story. Did you know the Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?"

I raised an eyebrow "Like fur, fangs ... doggy breath?" Jacob chuckles. I smile and prompts him to continue "So the legend about the Cullens is"

"Well, they're supposedly descended from this, like enemy clan." ... But they claimed to be different, so we made a treaty with them"

"Riiiight. So what was this treaty?" I asked wanting to know more.

"If they promised to stay off Quileute lands, we wouldn't expose what they really were to the pale-faces" Jacob pauses dramatically as I began to shiver.

"Aaaghh!" I jumped at the bloodcurdling scream, as Angela runs past, chased by Eric waving a dead crustacean. Jacob smirks and starts back to the group.

"Wait... what were they really?" I asked looking confused.

Jacob started laughing "It's just a story, Brie" I had loads of question running through my head as we went back to the group.

"So anyways, hows the good old crush on my sister going for you" I smirked playfully nudging him.

He smiles at my playfulness "You know same old. Getting turned down right left and centre when he's around"

"Can't believe you've had a crush on Bella since we were in basically nappies. I think that ship has sailed now. You know your only hurting yourself even more than you are right now if you keep doing this to yourself. Ive seen her with Edward and I don't think that will be ending anytime soon even if he is a weirdo with issues"

A smile formed on Jacob's face "You really know how to cheer someone up don't you"

"That's what am here for. Cmon Jake you'll find your girl soon"

"You called me Jake? Only my friends call me that?"

I took a step forward and shrugged "I guess that makes us friends then" I smiled before slowly walking off feeling Jacobs eyes on me as he smirked before following me back to the group.
