Hi, thanks for checking out my one shot.I know this is something that has probably been done before, but here's my version.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
I sighed, as I walked to the front desk and my newest school, in the small town of Forks, Washington, to get my schedule. I played with the golden ring on my right hand that I had refused to take off in the last hundred years or so. It was given to me by my fiance, Edward Masen, in 1918, when I was still a human. That was before the influenza hit and the love of my life died. I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts, as I presented the secretary, Mrs. Cope, with a dazzling smile.
"I'm Isabella Masen, this is my first day. I'm here for my schedule," I had been using Masen as my last name since I was changed into a vampire not long after Edward's death.
"Right, right, of course, here you go dear," The poor woman was in awe of me, like most humans were. I nodded politely and made my way to my locker.
I listened to the whispers from the student body. They found me beautiful, intriguing, but they had a common sense that told them to stay away. Well, except for a blonde boy who had the courage to approach.
"You must be Bella, the new girl. I'm Mike, Mike Newton" he said in what I'm sure he thought was a suave, James Bond fashion, "Would you like me to walk you to class?"
"Thank you, but I'm sure I can manage," I gave him a smile that left him startled and quickly made my escape.
"She looks like a Cullen" I heard someone say. I snapped my head in her direction, trying to figure out what she meant, but the girl said no more.
It didn't take long for me to figure out what she meant. As soon as I entered the classroom, I could smell another one of my kind. I zeroed in on a girl with short black hair and smile that seemed to say I know something you don't know.
"Hello, Isabella, it's very nice to meet you. I can already see you and I will be great friends," she said in a low voice that only I could hear. I gave her a quick nod and made my way the seat next to her.
We spent the class talking in hushed tones, as she told me about her family of vegetarian vampires. It pained me, hearing her talk about her mate and I so longed to have my Edward with me.
"Come sit with my family and I at lunch, Bella, I just know they'll love you," and before I could utter a single word, she was out the door.
I went through my next few classes, not really paying attention. Several students tried engaging me in conversation, yet all I could do was smile politely and keep quiet. They bored me and I got lost in my memories of being a human.
Mike had found me again and insisted on walking with me to the cafeteria. I rolled my eyes, but said nothing. Upon entering, I turned in the direction of the vampires and stood in shock, my mouth wide open. I'd remember that face anywhere and the color of his hair, like a penny, could only belong to one person.
"Edward?" I gasped. All of a sudden, his head snapped up and he looked at me, an expression of confusion and pain on his face as he slowly stood up. We had gathered the attention of everyone in the room by now and I could distantly hear their confused questions to one another, but I ignored them, taking a step closer.
"Edward Anthony Masen?" I questioned, knowing that if I could cry, I would be.
"My beautiful Bella, is it really you?" He seemed as shocked as I was and then I saw it, placed on a chain around his neck, the ring I had given him in on his deathbed, and I ran into his arms.
"How I've missed you," I held onto him with everything that I had. He leaned down, brushing a lock of hair off my face.
"But..you died," he looked at me in awe and amazement. I shook my head and kissed him with all my might.
"We have all the time in the world to talk, my love, right now, just hold me," I pleaded, happy to have the other half of my soul here.
Edward gave me the beautiful crooked grin I thought I would never see again and kissed him.
Everyone around us seemed to jump out of their daze and I could hear the questions and confusion in their voices. I pulled away from the kiss, laughing, as I ran my fingers through his hair, not particularly caring about anything but the man in front of me right now.
"I knew it was going to be a good day," Alice said triumphantly. And I couldn't agree more.
