I was running. I didn't know what I was running from, but I somehow knew that whatever was after me was going to hurt me. I stopped for a second to catch my breath and saw my reflection in the stream next to me. I was wearing a long, cream colored nightgown, covered in dirt and was barefoot. I looked around me, trees. "I must be in the woods." I whispered to myself in a voice unlike my own, it was higher, almost bell-like. I heard a twig snap and knew whatever was after me was getting closer so I quickly started running again.

I ran for a while until I felt a sharp pain in my foot, I must've stepped on a sharp branch. I found a rock and sat on it for a bit, holding my foot, checking for any splinters. A couple drops of blood ran down my foot and onto the ground. I suddenly felt a hand go around my neck, I looked up and all I could see was blood red eyes. I couldn't scream, something in me told me not to scream. I saw a flash of a smile and a smooth, calming voice say softly. "There you are... my pet."

I opened my eyes in fear, looking around. I saw my piano in the corner of the room. I sighed and sat up. "It was just a dream." I muttered to myself. I looked at my alarm clock, 6:00 AM. School didn't start for another two hours but I knew if I went back to bed, I'd never get up on time. I got up and looked through my clothes and grabbed my gray cardigan, black tank top and jeans. I got dressed quickly and put my hair in a ponytail. I grabbed my Supernatural backpack and slipped on my converse. I unplugged my phone, grabbed my headphones and walked downstairs.

I went down to the kitchen, grabbing an apple and some water. I took my pills quickly. I had depression, anxiety and ADHD so I took pills to level me out. Most days, they really helped, other days, not so much.

I heard someone walking downstairs and saw Charlie walk into the kitchen "Hey Bells, catch." He threw something at me and I quickly caught it. I looked down at what he threw at me.

"Keys?" I looked up at him. He smiled softly "Billy and Jake gave you the truck they rode in yesterday."

My eyes widened. "What?"

He smiled wider and started making his coffee. "The truck is yours!"

I smiled widely, excited. "Yes! I did not wanna walk to school!" I hugged him and he awkwardly hugged me back, some things never change.

I pulled away as he started making food. "You want anything Bella?"

I shook my head. "I gotta get to school. I'll talk to you later!" I grabbed my apple off the counter and ran out the door.

I unlocked the truck and got in. It was just a small two door 1969 red Chevy. I smiled as I looked around the cab. "Not bad." I whispered. I plugged in my AUX cord and plugged in my phone. I turned on Hamilton and started the truck. I punched in the address on my Google Maps and started driving. After a while of driving in circles, singing My Shot as loudly as I could, I finally found the school.

It was a pretty small school, way smaller than my old one but still nice. I unplugged my phone, got out and grabbed my backpack. As I started walking into the school, a guy stopped me "Sweet ride honey!" He laughed with his friends. I rolled my eyes and ignored him, walking into the school.

"I knew I was about to enter the gates of Hell, but like the inescapable pull of gravity, there was nothing I could do about it." I quoted American Horror Story under my breath as I walked in the door.

I looked around the hallways, they were flooded with students, probably talking about me from the way they were staring. I could tell right away who is who in this school. I walked past a group of blonde girls, giggling their heads off. 'The idiots who think life will be handed to them on a silver platter.' My inner monologue groaned. I walked into the office while three boys wearing jerseys walked past me, whistling at me. 'There's the stupid jocks.' I got my schedule quickly and found my locker to put my stuff away. I glanced at my schedule. "First...English." I grabbed my binder, laptop and my Hamilton book. I closed my locker quickly and started wandering through the halls.

As I walked to my first class, a small boy with glasses walked up to me "Isabella Swan?" He smiled.

I nodded, "Can I help you?"

He started walking with me, "I'm Eric, the eyes and ears of this place, need anything, tour guide, tutor, shoulder to cry on?" He smiled at me.

I rolled my eyes a bit. 'Is this guy for real?' "N..No, I'm more of a suffer in silence type." 'Yeah right! You'd cry if someone laughed at you for falling down!' I silenced my inner monologue as he nodded.

"What class are you heading to?" Eric asked quickly.

I looked at my sheet, "English with Jones?"

He smiled. "I'll take you there!" He led me to her room, talking about something that I decided was not worth paying attention to. "Is it going to be like this all day?" I whispered as I looked around at the crowd of people staring at me.

Spoiler alert, it was. I got to English and people stared at me. I then went to Math, people stared at me. I went to Theater, and people stared at me! After theater, I looked at my schedule, "Gym…." I groaned to myself. I rolled my eyes and headed to the gym. Of course I had to deal with people staring at me as I walked there. I talked to the gym teacher, Ms. Wilson, and she let me wear my normal clothes since it was my first day " 'Least you're not wearing high heels." She commented. Ms. Wilson seemed very sassy…..I liked it.

During class, the girls had to play volleyball while the boys played basketball. I tried to let my team know that they should probably keep the ball away from me but of course, they didn't listen to me. A blonde haired girl on my team, I think her name was Jessica, yelled at the other team. "Guys! Give Isabella a shot!" The girl who had the ball, Lauren I think, smirked and hit it straight at me. Panicked, I spiked the ball away from me and hit a boy in the head on the other court. I hurried to him, ashamed of myself. 'Nice Bella, first day here and you're already hurting men.' My inner monologue laughed at me.

I got to the boy, him holding his head in pain. "Oh my god! I am so sorry! I told them to keep the ball away from me!"

He turned and smiled at me, "Oh, no problem." He had a cute face, I guess. He had this odd baby face mixed with hot guy thing going on. It was very odd but it kinda worked. He had light blonde hair to the bottom of his ears and bright blue eyes that would make any girl go nuts, not me but any other girl. Maybe I'm just crazy but I just don't see what everyone else does.

"You're Isabella Swan right?" He asked me, bringing me out of my stupor.

"Just Bella." I corrected, I hate being called Isabella, it always felt like I was in trouble.

He stuck out his hand for me to shake it. "I'm Mike Newton." He smiled.

I shook it quickly and the blonde haired girl ran up to me and Mike. "What a spike huh?" I blush a bit and look away. "I'm Jessica!" I looked over at her. 'Am I just gonna be the new toy for everyone? Hopefully the novelty of me will wear off.' My inner monologue hoped.

"Hello? Earth to Isabella!" I heard Jessica snap at me, waving a hand in front of my face. I looked up and automatically said. "Bella."

She laughed. "I asked if you were from Arizona."

I nodded, "Yeah, why?"

Mike and Jessica looked at each other. "Shouldn't people from Arizona be really tan?" Mike asked.

I rolled my eyes, 'Yeah….Like I've never heard that before.' "Y..yeah… That's why they kicked me out..?" They forcefully laughed. 'Nice one….idiot.' My inner monologue laughed.

Ms. Wilson blew her whistle to signal the end of class. Jessica asked if I would sit with them during lunch, I agreed to get them to shut up. 'Though it would be nice to actually sit with more than one person for a change.' I thought to myself.

I waited for them to get out of their clothes and we walked to the lunchroom together, them talking my ear off the whole way. We got to the table where a girl with brown hair and glasses and Eric were sitting. The girl smiled as I sat down, "Hi! I'm Angela!" She stuck out her hand.

I smiled back at her and shook her hand. I think I should stick with this one, she doesn't seem as crazy as everyone else. "Bella." I smiled. Jessica and Mike went to the lunch line, I stayed behind, not really hungry. Angela stayed behind as well, reading a book. Eric was talking my ear off but I wasn't listening to him, I didn't really care enough to.

Then I saw the door open.

Four of the most beautiful people I'd ever seen walked in. I tapped Angela on the shoulder, she looked up from her book. "Who are they?" I asked, still a bit in shock at their beauty.

She looked over and smiled at me, "They're the Cullens. They moved here from Alaska I think about 2 years ago."

Jessica came back and heard us talking about them. She leaned in and joined the conversation. "They don't really talk to anyone since they're like, together." I looked at her confused.

Angela sighed, "Dr. Cullen and his wife can't have kids so they adopted all of them."

I smiled a bit, "That's so generous of them."

Jessica looked over at them then back to us. "But it's still weird, they live together!" She pointed at the tall blonde girl, "That's Rosalie, she is such a bitch!"

I looked over at her and nodded, "Yeah, I can tell." The tallest and beefiest in the group wrapped an arm around her and glared at some boys that were drooling over her.

Angela pointed at the boy, "That's Emmett, I don't know why but he scares the crap out of me!"

I nodded, "I don't blame you, he's huge!"

The small, black haired girl seemed to dance more than walk to the table, pulling a blond boy who looked like he was in pain. "That's Alice and Jasper, they are like inseparable!" Jessica gushed. Alice turned to me and waved, I waved back slightly as she sat at her table. "Doctor Cullen is like a foster dad/matchmaker." Jessica sighed.

"Maybe he'll adopt me." Angela teased.

I laughed a bit. "Keep the dream alive."

We giggled to each other then I saw the door open again. Suddenly, a Greek God walked in. I stared at him, seemingly unable to look away from his perfection. His reddish brown hair almost touched his shoulders, covered with a white tee shirt, grey button up and dark jeans. He almost looked like a mixture of Sam and Dean Winchester. He sat down with the other Cullens, staring at the table.

Angela followed my gaze and laughed a bit. "That's Edward Cullen." She hinted at me.

Jessica smiled and leaned in. "Don't waste your time, he doesn't date. Apparently nobody here is good enough for him." She looked away and distracted herself with her food. So he must have said no to her as well.

I laughed, dismissing her comment. "Don't worry, I have no interest in dating right now."

Angela smiled and handed me an apple from her tray "Here, don't wanna go hungry."

I smiled and took it, "Thank you." I took a bite and couldn't help but feel a pair of eyes staring at me. I ignored it, everyone else was staring at me. The bell rang and we stood up, I checked my schedule, Biology, great. My worst class.

I grabbed my backpack and walked to the class. I got into the room and saw Mike smile and wave at me. I rolled my eyes and gave the teacher, Mr. Cawthon, my signature slip. He smiled and told me to sit in the front, no one else was there. 'Seat to myself? Hell yeah!' I sat down and started reading my Hamilton book. I love everything Alexander Hamilton, I have a problem.

I felt someone sit next to me, so much for being by myself. I glanced over and saw the Greek God. Edward Cullen was sitting next to me. Ehh, okay. I really didn't care that much. I kept reading as I felt eyes on me. Was he staring at me? I glanced over and my hypothesis was correct. I saw his black eyes glare a hole into my head and neck. 'Who the hell has black eyes? Must be some wannabe gothic poser.' My inner monologue commented. I shook my head and tried to focus on my book. The bell rang to start class and they went to work on some project that Mr. Cawthon exempted me from since it was my first day.

I kept reading and put my headphones to listen to Hamilton. I smiled as I heard Lin Manuel Miranda's beautiful voice. I started to softly hum along with Hurricane. I kept feeling his eyes on me and I sighed, finally having enough. I took out an ear bud and looked at him. 'Time to be queen bitch.' I smiled inwardly. "Have you been helped?" I asked him, his eyes widened and he quickly looked away. I laughed slightly, shy one huh? "Hey, I don't bite." I smiled. Edward looked up at me, his eyes staring into my soul.

The bell rang as he opened his mouth to speak, he then grabbed his stuff and walked quickly out of the room. I sat there in shock for a second then got up and walked to my history class, the last one of the day. I saw Angela sitting next to Jessica. She waved happily at me and I waved back. My teacher, Mrs. Hamilton, put me next to Angela and moved Jessica next to Mike. Jessica left without complaint, she is so in love with that boy. Angela and I pretty much talked through the entire class.

After class, Angela poked my shoulder and asked. "Hey, do you wanna go to this coffee shop with me later? I would ask Jessica but, no."

I smiled widely, 'She wants to be my friend? Yes!' "Sure, I just gotta go to the office and drop off my sheet then I'll head over."

She laughed a bit, "Do you even know where we're going?"

"Nope!" I laughed.

She sighed jokingly, "I'll wait for you, besides, my car is in the shop."

I smiled and walked with her to the office. She opted to wait outside and I opened the door and felt a warm blast on my face.

Edward was there as well, talking to the secretary. "Please, I can't stay in that classroom." He was complaining. His voice sounded like music, how was that possible?

She sighed, "I'm sorry Mr. Cullen, every class during that hour is full. You're going to have to stay in Biology." 'Wait what? He wants to move from Biology? Is that because of me?'

He turned his head and glared at me a bit. "Fine, I'll endure it. Thank you." He said as he passed by me and walked out. I stood in silence for a bit before walking up to her and giving her my sheet.

"Did you have a good first day?" She smiled.

"Y..Yeah.." I smiled politely and headed back to Angela.

"What was up with Edward?" She asked as I came out.

I shrugged. "How should I know?" I changed the subject quickly, "If you're gonna ride with me, I should warn you my music taste isn't what you would call normal."

She smiled. "Mine is weird too."

I smiled softly, "Can't be as weird as mine." We laughed and walked through the parking lot, I saw Edward and the pixie-haired girl seemingly was Alice, right? I kept walking, trying to ignore them. I felt them look over at us but I kept my face to my truck and we quickly got in.

"Did you say something to Edward?" Angela asked when I started the car.

I looked over at her. "No, I caught him staring at me in bio and I asked him if he was okay. That's it."

She nodded, letting the matter go. "So what kind of music do you like?" She asked, changing the subject.

I smiled. "You can't laugh."

She held her hands up in innocence. "I promise, no laughing." I sighed and plugged my phone into my AUX cord and started playing Hamilton. She smiled and started singing along with the opening number. She knows Hamilton? I think I'm gonna like this girl!
