Oh Wow. My first Authors Note! All I gotta say is that this is a EdwardXBella story.

"Isabella Poppy?"
"Here." I muttered before dropping my head down onto the desk. Lily moved over to me slightly, like she wanted to hit me. I had skipped 1stPeriod, and now here we were in 3rdPeriod and I feel like I slept on a rock last night, which I did. Lily kept the light on until I finally went outside on a rock. When I woke up, I was soaking wet and had at least 34 ant bites on my arms. Grandma healed them of course, but they sort of stung still.
"Lily Harman?" the teacher called.
"Here." She told her pleasantly. She began to hum tunelessly. I glared at her. She was totally disturbing my sleep.
"Alice Cullen?"
"Here." Chirped a little girl in front of me. Well, she would be little if I wasn't the same height as her. I was maybe…1 inch taller? I can't tell, all I know is that she looks like a pixie and her voice sounds like a butterflies would if it could talk. She was a Cullen. Were they all inhumanly beautiful?
With my head on the desk, the teacher couldn't see me, which was perfectly fine with me except when she asked Lily a question, Lily asked politely that 'maybe Bella could help me?' I felt like strangling her when everyone's eyes turned to me. Even the little pixie turned around.
Aw crap…what was the question. My eyes were a panicked green again after they had been a neutral gray. Alice must have saw my tension, or my eyes I dunno really. But she said under her breath, "234." I looked at her. She repeated it.
"234?" I told Mrs. Amerce. She smiled at me.
"Miss Poppy I expect great things from you." I smiled at her, my eyes remained green until everyone turned away before fading back to gray.
I poked Alice. "Thanks."
"No problem." She smiled at me. Lily threw something at me.
Woah! All friendly with the Cullen?
Yeah. Jealous I have pretty friends?
You're the one with purple eyes.
They're gray dumb-ass.
Seriously Bells, you should stop cussing. When were you born? 1840?
Yeah? So?
Shouldn't you have more manners?
I get influenced easily. You know that. Remember during the war, when I cut my hair and lied about my age to become a soldier? Scariest damn thing I've ever done.
All I wanted to know is why the Cullen like you. From what I hear, they don't like anyone.
So? You're point?
The bell rang, saving me from answering to Lily. Because I've heard the rumors too. They even said that Alice was the strangest. Oh well. I shrugged to myself as I made my way to my locker. I put in the combo and tippy toed to grab my books. It sucks being only 4'9. I have to look up to everyone. Even my enemies. That is annoying. Especially seeing their satisfaction to it. I sniffed when I looked up to see why there was suddenly a shadow over me. It wasn't surprising, but it wasn't leaving. I turned around to 'kindly' ask them to move, my fist ready. Then I saw it was another Cullen. A huge one.
He was the one who laughed yesterday at my joke. The one with a sense of humor. "You smell funny." He told me, his face was wrinkled as he smelled the air. Not loud ones, but like delicate cat sniffs.
I smelled my arm. It smelled like strawberries. My signature scent. "Yeah… well you look funny." I told him earnestly.
He grinned at my answer. "You are funny. We'll get along great." He said.
"That's nice. Wait till' I tell mother I made a new friend today when I get home." I said sarcastically. "And when she asks for you're name, I'll tell her Bob. Cause' I never met a person named Bob." he laughed. I turned and looked at his beautiful white, perfect face. "What's you're name anyway?"
"Emmett. Emmett Cullen. What's you're next class?"
"Math. Why?"
He suddenly grinned, which I think he did often. "I got that too. I didn't see you yesterday, besides after school that is."
"Oh, well. I tend to skip subjects I don't particularly like."
"I'd do that too, too bad my mom would rip me limb from limb and burn me if I tried that." He seemed to have an inside joke.
"Sucks for you." I shut my locker and made my way to class. He walked by my side.
"No offence, but why does your sister act like she has a stick up her butt?" he asked me, as a conversation starter.
"My cousin acts like that cause…I dunno. She always felt the need to put me into place. Like a big sister or something. She even threatened my boyfriend once that if I was tainted when I got home, she knew his mother's number." I shook my head to myself. "She annoys me, but she's on my side weather I killed someone or not." I smiled at my own inside joke. Well, it wasn't a joke, but he didn't need to know that.
"That's nice. So, why did you leave the first day you came here? You looked upset, like you wanted to cry. If I'm getting too personal, don't answer."
"Yeah, I did cry. You're sister looked a lot like my sister did."
"Did? Which sister? Alice? Rosalie?"
"Rosalie. May was blonde with gold eyes too." We entered the class, I giggled when I saw Emmett had to duck when he got in.
"You'll never have to duck in life." He shot at me. I shrugged at him.
"Little people see things that others don't."
"Yeah, but blondes have more fun."
"Sorry, Emmett. But your brunette."
"Brunettes ARE more fun." He grinned at me. I easily grinned back. I liked Emmett. He was funny.
"Mr. Cullen and Miss Poppy, if you will be quiet I would like to start class." the teacher snapped. I smiled politely at her.
LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE MAWAAHAHAHAHHHHAA!
"Are you serious?" Lily asked Ash through the phone. I perked up. "You're here already?" We were in the cafeteria for lunch.
"Well, don't complain. Does he got the stuff?" I questioned. People were staring. Apparently, it was 'against' the rules to have phones out.
"He wants to talk to you." Lily gave me the phone.
"Hey, cousin, would it be cool if I came to school? I called the school and everything and I'm registered." I could here the grin in Ash's voice
"Wait-What? You're here? Hell yeah! Come here at school-"
"No! Bella! He can't come to school." Lily warned me. "Don't you think this little school can handle 2 new kids? My brother himself would be more than enough!" She hissed.
"Cousin? Can I come or not?" He sounded impatient.
"Do you have the herbs?"
"Yeah, there here in my pocket."
"Then of course you can come."
"Ha! Yeah! I'm on my way!"
"What class will you have?" I questioned. After lunch was 6thPeriod.
"Apparently, physiology."
"What? No way!" I would have slapped his arm if he were near, habit. "I got that too!"
"Nice. Well, I gotta go. I'm taking your Hurley, ciao." He hung up before I could object.
I handed Lily back her phone. "He's on his way." I informed her. I pulled out a book I stole out of Grandma's closet. It hit the table with a 'thud'. It was about 345,343 pages. I opened it and turned to page 248,899.
On the top, it stated
Monster Book of Spells
"What's this for?" Lily asked as she stared at it.
"I think we could easily find something in here to occupy ourselves with for the rest of this school year." I grinned at her. "And with your brother's help, we are going to be an unstoppable force of 'supernatural'. The human's will never know what hit them. Well, most won't. Some might see an egg or something heading their direction before it smacks them upside the head."
"Egg?" She muttered doubtfully. "Shouldn't we do something more fun, such as…I don't know. Freezing some of the people unconscious?"
"Freeze? I was thinking along the lines of-" I cut abruptly as I realized that I was the only one talking in the cafeteria.
I glanced around me. Everyone was staring at the door. I turned at the cause of the distraction. At the door stood a gorgeous man with messy dirty blonde hair, to die for Danity Kane sun glasses, and an ah-dorable beat up leather jacket. He wore ripped up skinny jeans and a pair of black and white converse. Under the jacket, was a white muscle shirt bearing a black Iris. He was breath taking.
He lazily looked around the room and looked directly at me. As he walked toward me, I heard a girl, Jessica, squeal "He is so hot!" I watched as the man fought a smirk at her words. "Damn strait." He muttered to himself. Finally he was here!
Ash stopped in front of Lily and I.
"Well, well, well. If it ain't the big bad wolf." Lily told him. He grinned at her and pulled off his sunglasses to reveal a slightly tilted pair of ever-changing eyes.
"What a wonderful way to greet your only brother." He told her. He held his arms out to her. "How's about a hug? I haven't seen you since you were 12." Lily smiled slightly and hugged him.
"And my favorite cousin." He turned to me. "Do I get a hug?"
"Do I get my stuff?" he took out a bag full of green leaves. I jumped up and hugged him tight, trying to ignore the hundreds of students still staring.
"How long has it been since I last saw you? Eight?" I asked.
"I don't remember. You were strapped down in a straight jacket ignoring everyone around you." He told me sourly. He was still annoyed that I wouldn't talk to him while I was practically catatonic.
"Well, excuse me for breathing air." I snapped at him. He grinned.
"Let's not be on such a touchy subject. How about something more carefree?" he sat down in the empty seat next to me. "Let's talk magic." he leaned forward while his eyes changed to purple.
He looked down at the open book of Monster Book of Spells. "Isn't this book illegal in the Night World?" he grinned slightly at the thought. "We should defiantly do this one." He pointed to Make Your Enemy Delusional. "Oh-Wait! How's about this?" He pointed to Hair Remover (Works best on the head) "Cool! What about-" Lily snatched the book from his tight grasp. "How about you stop acting like a child and Bella and I decide which is the most appropriate for the little town. If this town is too small, there is a huge reservation in La Push. I heard they take jokes lightly."
Ash looked at the book in his step-sisters hands. "I wanna blow something up."
"Well, I wanna set something on fire." I muttered.
"I wanna embarrass some of these kids." When Ash and I looked at Lily in shock. She quickly defended herself "You should hear them gossip like old women! They even talk about us! Can you believe it!"
I looked around us at the tables of girls with their heads bunched up close together…in fact everyone did that. Except most of the guys, who were playing football in the free lunch time, and the Cullen's. But they don't count because they didn't do anything, just stare up and plaster or the walls.
"I totally agree." I muttered as I stared down some blonde snobby girl, Lauren. My eyes flashed pink and she paled. I wasn't angry for them to be red or night black. Ash chuckled. Lily and I turned to glare at him.
"Girls get so territorial." He said. He nodded his head to a group of girls staring at him and whispering. "They're calling dibs on who gets me, who saw me first, who I look best with-" He winced. "That one imagined me in bed with her."
"Well, quit reading minds and help us choose a spell to put those girls in their places." Lily murmured as she opened the book.
"We should give them a disgusting face full of acne, then let the nice girls show up flawless. Then we bring back the dead and watch as they terrorize the school in help to get back to their grave. They will totally scare the shiz out of them." I smiled at the idea, pictures dancing in my head of red faced mean girls running in terror as a spirit chased her.
"Love it. Too bad we're not strong enough to summon the dead." Lily said.
"Thanks for bursting my bubble."
"Well, you can still give them bad zits." Ash told me.
"Don't mess with the Hallen's though." I recommended.
"Uh-Excuse me? I know you take meds, cousin. But what have you been smoking? The Hallen's are long dead-" Lily cut him off.
"No, not the lamia Hallen's. She morphed the two names Hale and Cullen for the pretty family back there." She gestured to them. "Bella and a few of them get along well, I guess."
Ash stared at Rosalie a moment before turning to me…"She looks kind of like May-" I cut him off this time.
"Yeah, I know. Down to the same shade of gold eyes too." I could have sworn that every single one the Hallen's turned and looked at us. I lowered my head to the table as my eyes turned a slow blue as I felt a wave of pure sorrow wash through me.
"Look-Cousin, I'm sorry, I mean-I didn't know-"
"Ash, shush. She already feels bad. Bells, do you wanna go to your Mourning Stones? Pray a bit." Lily asked. I didn't answer. Soon I felt a presence approaching our table.
I didn't look up as I heard a booming but gentle voice asked either Lily or Ash, "What's wrong? She doesn't look so good. Maybe you should take her to the nurse." I could almost feel Ash's wariness around Emmett. Lily answered.
"No, if she doesn't feel like going to class, she'll skip." I didn't need to read minds to know what Lily was thinking. A nurse couldn't help me. Nobody can.
I wasn't sure what Ash was thinking, he had gone quiet, and if my sixth sense told me right, he was looking out a window. Probably in deep thought.
"Well, Bella, if you're listening. Just know that if you need something, that I'm-my family and I are here for you. Even if you haven't spoken to much of us." He sounded uncomfortable saying this. I looked up. Ash was glaring at him.
"Can we help you?" Ash snapped. I kicked him from under the table. I looked up at Emmett and grinned falsely at him.
"Don't worry, Emmett. I'm cool. Just sleepy, Lily here had the light on all night." I told him. When he didn't leave, I said "Really Emmett. I'm not much of a liar. I just do sarcasm and slaps. I never could lie. I'm terrible at it." I lied easily.
He slowly nodded, I could tell he didn't believe me but he was going to accept it…for now. I felt myself slipping. I messed up in a lie. Even Ash looked a bit shocked at that. I had always gotten away with anything and everything because my lies sounded like the truths.
The bell finally rang. I took a deep breath and stood up. Ash and Lily stood with me. "Ready?" Ash asked. I nodded at Lily, silently telling her that we would meet her at her car.
Ash silently walked next to me to physiology. I sat down as quietly as I had come. Edward was already sitting down. Ash sat up front where there was an empty seat.
I dropped my head onto the desk and ignored the world around me. I must have fallen asleep because I suddenly being shaken awake by Edward and Ash.
"C'mon Bella. You got gym next." Ash murmured soothingly. He didn't want to startle me awake. I looked around at my surroundings. Ash tried pulling me to my feet. I stood up with him reluctantly. His eyes flashed a several colors at once. I felt dizzy as they become rainbows.
Edward caught me and handed me to Ash.
"Sorry, Bells. I can't help that." Ash muttered to me. I still felt groggy. Maybe what I told Emmett wasn't a lie. I was tired. "Wanna skip to sleep or something? You look dead on your feet." he said awkwardly. He wasn't accustomed to taking care of other people besides himself. I understood that. He had lived alone.
As I made my way to the exit of the school, I felt Ash leave to his own class. I had missed Gym since I got here, which was the 4th day. I laughed slightly. I never was the one for physical activity if it wasn't a fight.
Across the Forks High parking lot, I spotted my black and red Hurly carefully parked. As I made my way through it, I felt something watching me. I kept walking. Nothing supernatural here that would harm me.
I pulled a key out of my pocket and turned on my motorcycle. As I waited for it to warm up, I heard someone come up behind me. I turned slightly to see who it was.
Edward Cullen was staring at me.
"Hello, Edward Cullen." I greeted him formally.
"Hello Bella. I didn't know you were the type to ride a motorcycle."
I resisted the urge to clench my hand into a fist. "Well ,I didn't think you were the type to skip class." I muttered and turned back to my bike.
"Sorry if I insulted you, it's just that not many people like to ride those in Forks."
I raised my eyebrow.
"I mean, it rains a lot. Isn't a motorcycle hard to keep up with all the rain?"
"Hardly. I don't always drive it, only when I want to feel wind. I just drive with Lily in her Porsche cause' my gram don't trust me anymore." I told him. I hopped onto my bike and saluted him like a soldier would. "Adios mi amigo." I said before driving over the curb and speeding off at 66 miles and hour. I'd go faster, but there was surprisingly traffic.

When I got home, I knocked out before my head even touched the couch. When I woke up, it was pitch black and I found a pillow and blanket with me. I sat up. I felt wide awake. My little movements were the only things that made noise throughout the house. I had a feeling Ash went to sleep on my comfortable bed.
I stood up and stretched slightly, wincing when my joints cracked throughout the house. I walked out the door and took a deep breath. I started walking to the forest barefoot when I heard the strangest thing.
It was like a scream? I couldn't put my finger on it, it sounded like a strangled animal. The scream came out of nowhere and it made the hair on my neck stand on the end. I stopped walking and listened. It came from the east.
I jogged to the direction.
Another yell. This time I was positive it was an animal.
I tripped. I turned to see what I tripped over.
Laying there, dead and covered in blood, lied an animal, a mountain lion actually. He looked like he was toyed with, judging by the fur ripped off his body.
I screamed.
