I own nothing, I'm playing with everything.

Bella Pov

I woke up to my alarm at 7:00, I stirred and turned over trying to ignore it and almost had a heart attack when my hand touched Shanna's face. I gasped and sat up whilst she jumped, attempted to roll away, and fell off the bed taking the duvet with her.

We looked at each other for a moment before laughing. "We are so functional, but at least we're awake." she said smiling.

I laughed, "Do you want to shower first?"

She shook her head, "You go ahead, I'll make us some food."

I nodded, and tried to remember the last time someone had made food for me.

"It was 8, maybe 9 years ago." Shanna said grinning, I frowned at her, and opened my mouth ready to berate her for reading my mind.

She held her hands up, "I didn't read your mind, before you shout at me. Your face said it all; I think I know you well enough to know your thought processes." She stuck her tongue out at me and went downstairs before I could say anything.

I was surprised she wasn't grumpy, she's usually a complete grouch in the mornings. Today was definitely going to be interesting.

I went into the bathroom, turned on the shower and waited for it to heat up. I hopped in when it got to the right temperature and let the hot water relax my muscles.

I thought about the previous conversation. I didn't think my thoughts were laid out like a book on my face. I frowned, I was actually certain it wasn't like that. Though it was probably like Shanna was saying, she just knows me well enough. She told me that she didn't read my mind and I believe her, she has no reason to lie to me.

I thought about her occasional mind reading, it was kind of weird to wrap my head around it. Not mind reading as an idea, but how with Shanna it only worked occasionally and even then only with me. She told me when we were kids that we were so in tune with each other because our souls were linked. Meaning that we were essentially soul sisters. In terms of mind reading that meant that she could sometimes pick up a passing thought and that we could have thought conversations with each other. It took some focus but we eventually mastered it.

We can have a conversation with each other with no one knowing, it's by far one of the most useful tools. I didn't like the idea of someone knowing all of my personal thoughts, though at least with Shanna I have nothing to hide.

I heard a knock on the door, "Your breakfast is downstairs, it's my turn in the shower."

"Okay, I'll be out in a second."

I heard her foot steps head away from the door and I quickly finished up in the shower.

I tossed on a plain green jumper, black skinny jeans that Shanna had bought for me, and a pair of worn out converse.

I headed downstairs to the kitchen, on the table was a plate of strawberry pop tarts. I grinned, Shanna looked up at me as I walked in.

"It's not quite gourmet but it should be fine for today. When there's a chance I'll go grocery shopping with you."

I nodded taking a bite of a pop tart. Shanna walked past me and headed upstairs for a shower.

I ate the remaining pop tarts and sat on the stool not thinking about anything in particular. 15 minutes later Shanna came back downstairs dressed in a long sleeved purple top, black skinny jeans and Doc Martins.

She had both our backpacks on one shoulder, she smiled and tossed mine to me. "You ready for our first day at school?"

I sighed and shook my head, I attempted to catch my backpack but instead managed to trip slightly as I moved forwards. The bag missed my hands and thumped to the floor.

"One day they'll invent a way to get rid of clumsiness and I'll be first in line." I grumbled.

Shanna just smirked at me, knowledge sparkling in her eyes.

I chose to ignore it, that tended to be the best thing to do.

I picked my bag up and slung it over one shoulder, "Let's go so we're not late."

Shanna nodded, "Yes, Isabella."

I frowned at her, she knew I hated being called Isabella, it was way too formal. She just grinned at me again, "That's what everybody's going to be calling you today, you might as well get used to it."

My day got a bit dimmer, I'd have to correct everybody I spoke to.

Shanna kept grinning as we made our way to my truck, it was downright creepy. Reason one for why it was creepy was that Shanna was never this cheery in the mornings, two; she hated starting school and being the new kid just as much as me, and three; school was easy and boring, we could both probably apply for early graduation and pass easily, they tended not to teach us things that we didn't already know. We only went to school so that we could spend more time away from our houses, and because we didn't know what we would do otherwise. It was also fun being able to see each other all the time. We usually had similar timetables and occasionally we were able to make classes fun.

I looked at her suspiciously, she just smiled innocently back at me, sitting down in LadyBug and waiting for me. Something weird was going on, whatever it was that was going to happen today must be really interesting, and for some reason that made the pop tarts from earlier want to re-surface.

I got into the truck, fired it up and turned to her frowning, she spoke before I could, "Yes I know something, no I can't tell you, and yes, you will find out soon."

I sighed and rubbed my head, I think I felt a migraine coming on. I sighed again and chose to let it go, I'll find out soon enough anyway. "Do you know about our schedules?" I asked.

"More or less, we're pretty much in the same class for everything." She gave me a grin, "We have gym together."

I groaned, I'd completely forgotten about gym, I was awful at it, it would be the only class I would definitely fail. Though Shanna found my clumsiness amusing. Probably because she was pretty good at it, she was pretty good at everything. She chuckled at my expression and I glared at her. She shut up and faced forward, trying to suppress her grin.

"Let's go, don't want to be late on our first day."

I rolled my eyes, and got the truck moving. I was glad that we searched the way to the school so I knew exactly where I was going, not that it would have been hard to find it. There weren't exactly a lot of places in Forks.

We entered the parking lot, luckily most of the cars here were as old, if not older than, LadyBug.

I looked around for an empty spot, driving slowly. Shanna pointed, "There's one over there."

I drove quicker towards where she pointed so that we wouldn't lose the spot, luckily it was pretty close to the main building where we would need to get our schedules.

I parked, and we got out of the truck. Naturally I managed to trip up on nothing whilst walking around the truck. I sighed and picked my backpack up, as I stood straight I noticed two shiny cars in the lot, one was a silver Volvo and the other was a red convertible. Shanna walked over to me, "Those cars don't really fit in around here."

I nodded, those two cars were the only cars in the school lot that seemed to be made after 2005. We both leaned against the back of the truck, waiting to see who the cars belonged to.

"Maybe they belong to teachers." I said curiously.

"I think there's another little parking lot for teachers, all these cars belong to students."

As she finished speaking the door to the red convertible opened and the most stunning woman stepped out. She had long blonde hair, pale skin and seemed to be wearing designer clothes. The other doors opened, including the Volvo doors. Two people got out of the Volvo, one was a small, pixie-like girl with short spiky hair, and the other was a stoic looking, bronze haired boy. Two people, other than the blonde girl, got out of the convertible, one was a huge guy with rippling muscles and the other was the most gorgeous man I'd ever seen.

He had honey blonde hair that swept into his eyes and a graceful, predator-like walk. I stood there mesmerised until Shanna cleared her throat, making me reluctantly pull my gaze from the blonde beauty.

She grinned at me, "See something you like?"

I rolled my eyes at her but didn't answer, "We should go and pick up our schedules."

I began to walk to the office, I refused to look back to see if the blonde boy was still there. Shanna caught up to me grinning, but didn't say anything. We walked in silence to the building.

We opened the doors and walked into a small room that had 'Reception' printed on the door. The paint on the walls had started to crack and was peeling from the corners. The floor was covered in a dark green lino carpet and there were old leather seats on either side of the room. Straight ahead there was a woman sitting behind a desk, engrossed in whatever was on the computer screen. We walked up to her and smiled. Shanna spoke, "Hello, we are new students starting here today."

The woman stared at her, looking clueless.

Shanna stifled a sigh and looked over at me, I stepped in before Shanna threw something at the slow woman, "Hi, I'm Bella Swan, I-"

She cut me off, her eyes lighting up slightly, "Isabella? Chief Swan's daughter?"

I stopped myself from glaring at her, "Bella, and yes, I'm Charlie's daughter."

She nodded, but didn't make a move to do anything.

Shanna's hand twitched slightly, she was losing patience with the woman, and so was I.

"We need our schedules, she's Shanna Silverstein."

The woman looked at her, "Oh yes, Chief Swan spoke highly of you as well. Please give me a moment."

She started typing on her computer, and soon she had our schedules printed off.

She smiled at us, "I hope you both enjoy your time here," she then turned to me, "I thought you might be like your mother, you seem well-behaved though." She kept the clueless smile on her face, whilst all the colour drained out of mine. My breathing began to speed up.

Shanna murmured a thanks to her and rushed me out of the room. I wasn't paying attention, I was too busy trying to remember how to breathe properly. I barely noticed when Shanna got me to sit down on a wall around the corner.

"Breathe Bella, it's okay. She's not here, she can't hurt you." She repeated it over and over, She's not here, you're safe, you're not her. I finally managed to get my breathing under control and when I opened my eyes they were looking into Shanna's bright green eyes.

She relaxed as my breathing went back to normal, and sat down next to me with her arm over my shoulder.

"I'm sor-"

Shanna cut me off before I could apologise, "You have nothing to be sorry for, that stupid woman needs to watch what she says."

"Still, I shouldn't freak out just by someone mentioning her."

Shanna rolled her eyes at me and shook her head, "The floozy shouldn't have treated you like that, you have every right to react exactly how you did. It's not something that goes away at the click of your fingers."

I took a deep breath, I was beginning to feel better. What a first day, which reminded me, "What time is it? Are we late?"

Shanna shook her head, "We still have 5 minutes." I nodded, we didn't speak, I still needed to calm down. Shanna just rubbed my back, understanding that I needed a few moments.

Finally I felt better, not 100% but enough to carry on today. Shanna looked at me in concern, "We can head back if you're not up for today."

I shook my head, "I feel alright, and how will you get your entertainment if we don't carry on? You said something would happen today."

Shanna smiled at me, "Alright then. I called ahead and they set us up with the classes we want, we're allowed out of some of them because of our scores in those advancing exams," I nodded, "The classes we don't have together are, AP Biology, AP Latin, US history, Computer science, Auto-Mechanics, and AP English Literature. Biology and Latin are at the same time and so are Computer Science and US history, and Auto-Mechanics and English. I managed to work it out perfectly." She looked really proud of herself.

I frowned, "I know I'm Biology and English, and you're Latin and Mechanics, but I don't know why either of us would do US history, we did all the research and courses for it."

When Shanna lived in Phoenix with her psycho adopted dad Liam, we got to spend time together. My Mum, Phil and Liam got on well, unsurprisingly, and when they didn't want us in the way, they sent us to some center where they did lots of different courses. We didn't have anything better to do, so we learnt. We took every available class whenever we were able to.

She smiled, "That would be you, I did higher level courses for it while I was in Washington with the Brady brunch."

I made a face at her, "You can't leave me alone, I'll be so bored."

She waved her hand at me, "Don't worry, it's a senior class. It'll be easy but not too easy, we can't have your history knowledge getting rusty."

I stuck my tongue out at her, hopefully the class was interesting.

I frowned as I realised something, "Wait, didn't you already get a certificate for your Latin? How come you're doing that again?"

She just smiled at me and tapped her nose, "All will be made clear in time."

"You're really annoying."

"And yet you love me, come on, we'll be late if we don't hurry. We've got Algebra, the room shouldn't be too far from here." She grabbed my arm and pulled me towards our first class.

Jasper Pov

I sat in my English class bored beyond believe, I was sitting next to Rosalie who seemed just as bored as I was. She was checking out her nails whilst half the boys in the class ogled her, trying to look discreet.

I grinned as I thought of a fun game to pass the time. Rosalie looked at me from the corner of her eye, I spoke quietly at vampire speed so that none of the humans would be able to hear us, or even know that we were talking.

"Wanna make a bet?" I asked her.

She raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.

"Let's see who can make one of the humans embarrass themselves first."

She smiled and nodded slightly, "Easy, what are the stakes?"

I shrugged, "$10,000?".

"Keeping the stakes low are we?"

I grinned, "It doesn't take much to embarrass humans, why would I put a big price on it?"

She gave a small smile back, and nodded slightly.

I immediately turned around a spied my target, it was a girl called Hannah. I smiled to myself. Hannah was sitting on the row next to mine and Rosalie's, but as I went make my first move, Rosalie made hers. She winked at a boy named Mike, causing him to choke on his water and spill it down himself. Everyone looked over to him and laughed.

He went bright red, and turned away from me and Rosalie who were skillfully managing not to laugh at the poor boy. Though it was just a wink, you wouldn't think it would have that much of an impact. I felt the embarrassment surround him and the humour surround everyone else.

Rosalie clearly chose the weakest link in the classroom. Though I'm surprised she didn't go for the teacher. It was always fun to make them embarrass themselves.

It may seem cruel but it was all we had, at least we didn't string any of the humans along. As vampires we were seen as insanely beautiful to humans, they would embarrass themselves with or without our help in order to gain our attention.

There were about 15 minutes left of class before the humans lunchtime. None us ate human food, so it was a waste of time, but we didn't really have a choice. We slipped back into boredom as the teacher quieted the class and carried on talking about a book I had read at least 20 times before.

After about what felt like 100 years, the bell chimed and were excused to lunch. Me and Rosalie stood, packing away our props and walked to the door. Emmett was waiting outside for Rosalie, he grinned at me and put his arm around her as we walked towards the cafeteria to meet the rest of our family.

Bella POV

Me and Shanna were walking towards the cafeteria arm in arm after our morning lessons. They went well, though I was getting steadily annoyed about having to continuously correct everyone who called me Isabella.

Shanna on the other hand was getting more excited. I just rolled my eyes and carried on ignoring her. We had met a few people in our classes, though we noticed that most of the guys were eyeing us up with lust and the girls with jealousy. I was surprised by both, who would be interested in me? I was very ordinary looking, I had brown hair that went to my waist, brown eyes and pale skin, despite living in such a sunny place for most of my life. Shanna on the other hand was very pretty. She also had brown hair the same length as mine but had bright green eyes. We were the same height at around 5 8". I could understand when the looks were aimed at her but not me. Even with our shared status of 'shiny new toy'.Shanna rolled her eyes at me, easily guessing my thought process.

Though there was one girl who we met and both liked. Her name was Angela, she was very gentle and very caring. She also had a very obvious, to me and Shanna anyway, crush on a boy called Ben. He was nice to, a good match for her.

Whilst everyone was talking to us just before class started, I say talking to us but they were actually talking around us and about us, she had asked how we liked it here, how she was glad that we had each other here, and that we could talk to her if anything got difficult. She blushed bright red as she said it. Shanna smiled gently at her and genuinely thanked her for her kindness.

Shanna 'spoke' to me mentally. She's nice. We should ask her to go to the cinema with us. Encourage her to tell that Ben boy how she feels.

I was surprised at that, Shanna generally didn't make an effort to talk to people. She didn't generally like people, it was a thing we had in common. But I couldn't help but agree with her. I wanted to get to know this girl and make a friend.

I nodded to her.

We reached the cafeteria, and we saw Angela wave us over to her table. I smiled at her and we headed over. We sat down next to her but before she could say hi, we were bombarded with questions. How did we know each other, what Phoenix was like, whether we had boyfriends, the list of annoying questions went on. I answered most of the questions with simple yes or no answers. And that's when the people we saw earlier walked in. They were the most beautiful group of people I had ever seen. Most of the cafeteria turned to stare at them for a few seconds before turning back to their tables, but me and Shanna carried on looking curiously. They all had the same pale skin, even more pale than mine. I looked almost immediately at the beautiful blonde boy from earlier. His eyes met mine for a split second before he walked to an empty table with his family.

It took a moment for me to realise that he had the strangest eye colour, an amber almost gold colour. Was he wearing contacts? I looked to the others, they had the same eye colour as him. I frowned slightly, they all seemed somewhat familiar.

I turned to find that Shanna was looked at me with smile, as per usual I ignored her expectant gaze and turned to Angela.

"Who are they?" I asked Trying not to let too much interest leak into my voice.

She didn't need to look or ask who I was talking about, "They're the Cullens and Hales." She answered.

"They moved here a few years ago, their father is Dr. Carlisle Cullen, and their mother is Esme Cullen. The girl and boy with the blonde hair are Rosalie and Jasper Hale, they're Esme's niece and nephew. The Cullen's adopted them when Esme's sister died. The others are Emmett, the big guy, Edward and Alice Cullen. They were adopted to."

I nodded, a girl called Jessica, who was sitting on Shanna's side, decided to butt in, "Emmett Cullen is together with that girl Rosalie, like together together, and they live together as well, it's really weird."

Angela seemed to disagree, "They're not related though so it's not that weird." She turned back to me and Shanna, "I think it's really nice that they've adopted that many kids, Dr and Mrs Cullen are both really young as well."

Jessica put up her nose, "Well I think it's because Mrs Cullen can't have kids." As if that made their actions any less kind. I just ignored her and she went back to whatever conversation she was having with another girl called Lauren.

I looked back over to the Cullens. They didn't seem to be talking, or eating, they just picked at the food on their trays. I frowned, why would they buy it if they didn't want it?

I frowned slightly as I turned back to the table, something was bothering me, but I couldn't put my finger on what. A small flash of memory hit me as I looked at Shanna in confusion, it was me and Shanna running around as children in Forks. We were in a little meadow, looking at a beautiful woman as she lay down by a tree, she had bright red eyes, vampire. I widened my eyes and Shanna nodded. I fixed a mask of calm on my face and ate my food in small amounts, as if on autopilot, as Shanna pretended to study her timetable.

What do you remember? she asked

-A woman with red eyes, she was a vampire but looked injured. We were in that meadow we used to play in.

Yup, that sounds about right. Do you remember anything else.

I tried to stay calm. Which wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I mean, I'm having a telepathic conversation with someone. Vampires existing wasn't actually that odd when you think about it.

-No, so... vampires exist? You couldn't tell me before?

Yes, they exist. No, but you already knew, when your memory resurfaces you'll know all you need to for the moment.

-Okay, so what does that have to do with the situation.

I heard her sigh.

Why don't you have a look around. Does anyone remind you of that woman?

-Remind me of her?

Immediately thought of the Cullens, they had the same beauty and skin as that woman.

-The Cullens? They're vampires? But their eyes aren't red. That woman's eyes were red.

Yes, they're vampires, they eat differently to the woman. You need to try and remember as much as you can about that memory. Most of your questions will be answered then.

I took a deep breath. I tried not to think about the fact that vampires exist and that there was a group of them in the school cafeteria. I pulled out one of my small biology text books from my bag and pretended to study for my next class whilst trying to recall the memory. I focused on the freeze frame I had in my head and let it flow.

Me and Shanna were running through the meadow to go to our special hideout, we had to be around 10 years old. The sky was grey but don't let that fool you, it was summer in Forks. We were running past a section of dandelions when we saw someone lying by a big tree. We looked at each other and cautiously walked towards them. It was a woman, a beautiful woman with a dirtied dress on and long blonde hair. We got about 2 foot away from her when she began to move. And looked up at us with her red eyes. She looked weak and had cuts on her face but there wasn't any blood on her. She tried to move but was unsuccessful. I spoke first.

"Are you okay miss? Do you want us to call someone?" I asked, the lessons my dad taught me paying off, though I knew she wasn't normal so I didn't think that she wanted me to call the hospital. There wasn't any blood anyway. She winced and made a failed effort to cover her ears as we spoke.

I don't think she's human. Shanna told me through our mind link. What should we do? She looks injured.

I shrugged at her whilst the pretty lady looked between us confused.

-Maybe she's hungry? What is she if she isn't human?

Shanna nodded, I think she's a vampire, my pa told me about them, red means human.

-Vampire? Human as in human blood? I don't think we could give her human blood, what do we do?

We could try an animal, we can hunt one and give it?

-But what if she isn't a vampire? It hurts when she talks how can we ask her?

Shanna smiled and pulled me to her, miming being a vampire I giggled as I pretended to be a victim and fell to the floor. We then looked at the woman expectantly. Her eyes were wide with shock and she nodded, she looked like she was wondering about our sanity.

Shanna smiled at me, See she's a vampire, I'll go get my bow from the den then hunt something and bring it back. Maybe it will help?

Okay, don't take too long.

She nodded at me and went into the forest. I sat down in front of Miss Pretty Red and started pulling up daisies, I began to slowly making a daisy chain. After about 20 minutes, Shanna came back dragging a deer. I stood up and went to help her. There wasn't as much blood as I thought there would be, but it still made me feel a little sick. We dragged the deer up to Miss Pretty Red and walked back to our spot and sat down. Shanna helped me to make the daisy chain. We ignored the sounds of Miss Pretty red drinking the deer blood and turned daisies into crowns. We placed one on each others head and laughed.

-When do you think Miss Pretty Red will be done? Do you think she'll want another?

Shanna shrugged, I think she might be done. Do you think she'll like the daisy chain?

I nodded, It's pretty.

Shanna smiled as we finished the chain. She gently picked it up and we walked over to Miss Pretty Red who was watching us curiously with a drained deer next to her.

Shanna shyly presented the daisy crown to her and Miss Pretty Red gave her a smile and bowed her head slightly. Shanna beamed and placed it on her head. I stood up next to Shanna.

"Do you like it?" I forgot that she didn't like the sounds, but this time she didn't cringe. She nodded, she noticed my reaction when I spoke, she pointed to her ears and nodded but pointed to her throat and shook her head.

-Her ears are fine but her throat isn't? Are her ears okay because of the deer?

Shanna shrugged, I think so, it makes sense, though why wouldn't her throat be okay?

-I don't know, maybe you can heal her. Like that bird with the broken wing.

I'll try but I'm not that good at it.

Shanna walked towards Miss Pretty Red, knelt by her and placed her hand on her neck. Miss Pretty Red went still and watched her. Shanna closed her eyes and focused on healing. Shanna's hand began to glow white, and her breathing quickened and she clenched her teeth to stop herself from crying out. I was getting worried, I took a step toward her as she began to slouch forward. I put my hands on her shoulders and felt the energy rush from me. I fell to my knees, clenching my teeth as she was. But after a few more moments, the energy being taken from me slowed until I was able to unclench my jaw.

Shanna took her hand off Miss Pretty Red's neck and took deep breaths. Miss Pretty Red was suddenly sitting up, my eyes hadn't caught the movement.

"Thank you." Her voice sounded like tinkling bells. "How did you do that? I have never seen such a thing."

Shanna looked up and smiled, "I'm glad it worked."

Shanna turned around and sat against the tree, I plopped myself down next to her as she caught her breath. Miss Pretty Red stood up and disappeared. My mouth fell open as I looked around.

-How did she do that?

Shanna shrugged, "My pa said they're really fast."

I got worried again, Shanna had gone really pale, she looked really drained.

"You need food and water"

And as soon as I said that Miss Pretty Red flashed back with two bottles of water and two sandwiches. She knelt down next to us and gently placed them next to us.

"Thank you."

She nodded and smiled.

I picked them up, opened one of the sandwiches and handed it to Shanna, she picked it up and began to eat. Slowly at first but then seemed to inhale it. I handed her the bottle of water, which she guzzled within a second. She sat up looking much better. I picked up the other sandwich and began to eat it.

"Thank you." She said talking to Miss Pretty Red.

Miss Pretty Red smiled at her and shook her head. "No, thank you, both of you. I am forever indebted to you both."

We looked at her with wide eyes, Why is she indebted to us? We both asked each other at the same time.

Miss Pretty Red saw our confusion, "You saved me and potentially anyone who could have stumbled upon me. I would have slowly lost energy until I accidentally drained someone, you two found me before that point and got me blood. You also healed my voice. Eternity is a long time to live without a voice. But how do you two know what I am?"

We smiled and explained to her some of what Shanna could do and parts of our lives. She in turn explained all that she could think to tell us about vampires and her human and vampire life.

The memory faded, though I knew there was more to it. It felt as though I had been lost in my memory for hours when in actuality it had been about a minute and a half.

I took a deep breath and looked at my tray, it was empty now. Shanna had switched sides with me and was now in a conversation with Angela. I think they were talking about movies, Shanna was probably inviting her to go to the cinema with us. I allowed myself to think about that so I wouldn't be overwhelmed by the memory. I felt calm soak into me and I breathed a sigh of relief. I turned to Shanna and Angela with a smile.

They looked at me and smiled, "I invited Angela to watch a film with us on one of the weekends, I was telling her that we have problems with choosing films. Or more I have no problem choosing films but you don't let us watch them." Shanna said with a smile. I noticed that Shanna kept her voice low so that the others wouldn't hear and invite themselves. Angela seemed to understand this and agree.

I grinned, "I think what you mean is, you choose the scariest film possible and then we both get too scared so you have to stay at mine and we stay up all night because we can't sleep and we both suffer for it the next day."

Angela laughed, I looked over at her with a smile, "After the first three times I had to put my foot down."

We laughed and enjoyed the rest of lunch talking about what films we'd seen and books we'd read. It was enjoyable and easy, when the bell went we waved to Angela and headed to our next classes, I had Biology and Shanna had Latin. Hopefully classes weren't too boring without Shanna. I took a breath before entering the room, ready to correct everyone who was going to call me Isabella.

As I walked in I saw one of the Cullens, the boy with reddish hair, Edward I think. I reminded myself of the things that Miss Pretty Red had told us about vampires when we were young. Golden eyes meant they fed on animals. I took another deep breath and walked up to the teacher, Banner I think his name was. He was an older man with glasses, white hair and a short beard. I wanted to ask him where I could sit but as I looked around the classroom, there was only one available seat and that was next to Edward Cullen.

Naturally I would be sitting next to him. He pointed to the desk after welcoming me, thankfully he didn't make me do a little speech. "You can sit next to Edward Cullen, Isabella."

I bit my tongue and smiled, "It's Bella."

I walked to the table and sat down, his eyes went black and wide as I looked at him, I smiled, he nodded his head curtly and looked away. He's thirsty and barely in control. I need to stay as calm as possible.

It only built up the awkward atmosphere.

Okay then, no need to address the vampire in the room.
