Bella's POV

It's 8.30 I'm up, I'm dressed, I've packed my school bag, I've had an apple and now I'm waiting for a ride to school. Sigh. I've been here for just a weekend and now I'm being shipped off to school. Come on Charlie at least give me a week to settle but nope after a lecture of "education is the key to knowledge and knowledge is the key to success" I'm being forced to go to Forks High school instead of the High school on the Rez with Leah and Seth because of me starting later in the year and there being no more available places. Seth and Leah have already left since it takes longer to get to their school and I'm going to be catching a ride in the police cruiser without having to break the law.

But one good thing (read bad thing) is that I had no dreams of the golden haired Aphrodite last night so I had an unfortunately undisturbed sleep which has lead to me feeling good and rested.

Charlie's just walked into the kitchen whistling the Batman tune while swinging some keys around his finger. Subtlety is not his thing.

"Dad I know you're driving me to school in your ridiculous car so stop rubbing it in my face. You know what Charlie you should be arrested for causing my social suicide."

"Oh Bells quit being so melodramatic these keys are actually your surprise. I was meant to give it to you earlier but things have been kinda hectic at the station with all these blood puddles in the woods."

Sue just came into the kitchen to pick up her keys. She's going out grocery shopping; it is part of her morning routine since Leah and Seth eat the same amount as a horse, food runs out quickly. She caught the blood puddle part, grimaced at Charlie before shrugging it off.

"That's too gruesome to talk about in the morning honey change the topic"

"Er...right dear... so Isabella ready to go see your new transport?"

"W-wait you got me a car?!"

"Yup it's out there under the tarp. Now be careful when you drive her, she is a classic beauty. They don't make ones like her anymore."

Sue starts giggling at Charlie's faraway look.

"You'd think he's describing his woman not a damn car. Hey Charlie why don't you ever compliment me like that hmm?"

"I-I...erm..." Charlie turns red and starts to splutter and out of pure reflex and embarrassment for my father I turn red too. What the hell? Not even my embarrassment!

Charlie just throws the keys which I so did not catch and fumble on the floor looking for while Charlie stutters some nonsense at Sue which I'm sure she doesn't understand at all because she has an eyebrow arched at Charlie and a bemused smirk lingering on her face. Yeah Leah is so her daughter.

Once I had the keys in my grasp I run out the door to look at this so called classic beauty.

I gasp when I see the beautiful being underneath that unflattering tarp. It did not do its figure any justice at all.

A 1967 Ford mustang fastback in glossy black. Oh my. I think the wind just stole my breath away. I run a finger down the body work of the car. Squeaky clean.

Charlie comes blundering out the front door while pulling on his jacket. "Do you like it Bells?"

"Like it? I love it dad! Thank you so much!" I beam at him making him blush.

"You're welcome Bella, now get in that car and go do something productive like going to school and learning about, I don't know, triangles or something."

I groan at the triangle bit.

"Do not speak of trigonometry to me father. That is no way to speak to your daughter first thing in the morning and you know I despise maths! Way to ruin the moment Charlie! Just when me and this beautiful piece of machinery were about to be acquainted!"

I huff but the slight smirk on my face gives away the no so seriousness of my rant.

"Just get in the damn car and quit giving me grey hair Bells and don't think I didn't notice the use of my name there young lady!"

I give Charlie a fleeting hug before doing a little squeal and jump into the driver's seat, grinning as I drive off into the sunset or in other words Forks High.


Charlie's POV

Sue comes out onto the front yard just as Bella squeals and drives off.

"I think she just made me deaf in one ear" I mutter under my breath but Sue hears me clearly. She laughs as she gives me my goodbye kiss making me turn red. She goes back into the house as I grin at my cruiser, jump into the driver's seat and drive off to work.


Rosalie's POV

We arrived at school 15 minutes early since Edward likes to people watch or should I say 'people listen' to make sure no new surprises will be coming our way. He's kind of anal retentive about being prepared about God only knows what. I'm currently sat on the hood of his precious Volvo. The first time I did that he argued with me for at least 20 minutes until Emmett grabbed him into a hug and refused to let go until he "let his Rosie do what the hell she wants" since then the hood of the Volvo is the throne of the Ice queen.

"The new girl's coming today" Edward muttered to himself. How does he not go insane with all those voices in his head? I know I would. My own voice sometimes drags me to the edge of insanity.

"Yay, fresh blood!" Emmett grins at me while I just glare back at him. He has no tact whatsoever.

Alice giggles at Emmett's joke before... "Emmett you are carrying my books for me today or have you forgotten?"

Emmett groans before speaking through gritted teeth.

"No ma'am I did not forget. How could I if you keep reminding me every hour on the hour?"

"Nah ah ah no need to get all moody on me Emmett it's your own damn fault!"

"It was an accident pixie; I didn't know you're not supposed to open drinks after shaking them."

"What about that dead mouse that was in my Choo's huh? Why I ought to crack your..."

I didn't bother listening to the rest of that ridiculous argument when Alice lunges at Emmett because a gorgeous car has just taken away all my attention.

At last someone in this town who knows their cars! I may be able to bring my Cherry Boom Boom to school if that fastback can be parked here. I think it would look great, old and new together. Hell it might even give this run down place something nice to look at for once.

We Cullens don't breathe. Yet as the car door opens I'm panting like an oxygen starved diver.

The door of the car opens fully and out steps the reason of my existence. My heart is beating like a drum. I can feel its beats pulsing in my veins, around my body, in my chest and in my fingertips which are reaching out towards that beautiful being who is trembling all over while staring into my eyes. God those eyes are like melted chocolate. I know why I'm panting it is because I am a diver drowning in brown depths. My body is humming, pulsing and vibrating. I can hear purring deep within my chest. Content. After so long I just feel content. There she is, this ivory ghost, whose rose tinted cheeks are begging to be caressed with the softest of touches, whose eyes are wide with not fear but... what is that? Pain? Confusion? Recognition?

Autumn. Her hair is autumn personified. The darkest maroon of a floating leaf. Luscious locks which put Edwards bronze to shame. Cherry lips, which if remained untouched by me, would become one of my most greatest sins. If she is a sin then I am her sinner. She is mine. I am hers. Why is she so far? I need to feel enveloped in her presence. I need to be drunk on her aura. My senses need to be blinded by the feel of her. The smell of her. The sound of her. The taste of her.

I hop off of my throne gracefully , intending to bow at her feet when I see her eyes fluttering close, breaking our connection and instead of me bowing at her feet she seems to be unconscious at least 6 feet from mine.

I was so lost in the world where only she and I exist that I wasn't paying attention to my siblings. I hear other students run towards the fallen girl. I turn towards my siblings and see that Alice is swinging from Emmett's neck while she is staring at the mass of students surrounding the new girl.

"Damn she knows how to make an entrance huh?" Emmett grins.

From my right I hear a fierce snarl as Edward darts forward towards my mate. My queen

"EDWARD NO!"
