Three months before prologue:

"Hey freak" Lauren Mallory the head cheerleader greeted me as I arrived to school. Lauren Mallory is dating Edward Cullen; he is the biggest jock of Forks High and the star player in our baseball, basketball, football and soccer teams. He is also captain of the baseball and soccer team. Edward Cullen along with his gang are "the populars" at our school or as we geeks like to think of them "the plastics". "The plastics" run this school and my story and relationship with "the plastics" if you can call it a relationship as such first began back when I first moved to Forks from my hometown Phoenix in Arizona. This is when it all began.

#Flashback back to third grade# I remember my new teacher Miss Andrews introducing me to the class. "Hey everyone we have a new student with us today her name is Isabella Swan and she has just moved here from Phoenix. Why don't you introduce yourselves to us Isabella tell us a bit about yourself". I walked to the front of the class slowly and stood there watching them as they stared back at me. I began to bite my lip furiously, as the nerves set in, until I tasted the copper tang of blood on my tongue. I should have been used to this as my mom Renee is flighty and constantly moving depending on her new hobby or mood. I was slightly shorter than average standing at about 5ft. I had plain brown hair and mud brown doe shaped eyes. I was nothing special. I had full plump red lips probably the most extinguished feature I have. I wasn't exactly ugly but I definitely wasn't pretty, I guess I was just plain.#End Flashback#

I began to walk away from Lauren deciding to just ignore her. "Hey freak where do you think you're going? Get back here. Don't ignore me!" I was violently pulled back before being shoved into someone's car. I glanced up so I could see who it was. There looking back down at me with a manical grin and evil glint in her eyes was Rosalie Hale, Edward's cousin and best friend's girlfriend. She was also best friends with Tanya Denali long term family friend of the Cullens. Oh fuck big mistake walking away. "Where'd you think you were going? You know you can't ignore us and get away with it freak". She reared her fist back and punched me straight in the face, a loud crack sounded in my ears and I felt a rush of blood along with the excruciating pain. Damn she fucking broke my nose OW! I began to blink back tears. I didn't want them to see me cry or they'd know that they won. Mike Newton screamed across the parking lot "You bitch what she ever did to you?" That was the last I heard before I passed out.

I awoke to find myself in this dingy little room, with the overpowering smell of antiseptic cream. Upon further inspection I noticed that the paint was pale blue and peeling from the walls. Great I'm stuck in the nurse's office again I heard the creak of the door opening which pulled me from my thoughts. I turned around to quick that I ended up gasping in agony. "Careful there dear" came the soft dulcet tones of Mrs Cope's voice. Mrs Cope is a kind lady who works in the reception area and is always very kind to me. "Now there Isabella can you tell me how you got all of those bruises?" "I-I erm…. I err… I-I f-f-fe-fell" I stuttered. A look of disbelief flashed across her face before settling into a calm friendly expression that was etched with concern. I know she doesn't believe me but I can't tell her the truth. She asks if I would like my dad to be called or would I prefer to go to class. I reply that she doesn't need to bother my dad I'll be fine going to class.
