(BELLA'S P.O.V)
Five years.
After long five years I am back to Forks. The morning after I saved Aro, mom explained to me that she and dad are not happy anymore with each other so they decided to end their marriage. Mom moved to Arizona with me while Charlie my dad stayed at Forks. Since then I never went back to Forks again. Until now. I made sure to bid goodbye to Renee properly since I am not sure if I will see her again. Renee, she's a perfect definition of a child. Carefree, easy-going, childish, adventurous... sometimes I felt like I am the mother between the two of us. But whatever, I love my mom no matter how childish she is. You see, that's one of the reason I am back to Forks. I love my mom too much that I let her live freely with Phil, the man she fell in love with. Phil is a good man and I can tell he loves Renee. I know how mom likes to travel but she can't go with Phil because of me. She always worried about me, she don't want to leave me alone by myself even I told her I will be fine, so everytime Phil invite her to travel she always decline and I felt bad about it. One day, when Charlie called home I kinda blurted out my concern about mom to him and he suggested that if I want I can always come back to Forks, that I am always welcome to his home. A week after that talk with Charlie, I decided I will give it a try, for mom and also for Charlie. Truth to be told, I miss him. For five years he never skipped calling me every weekend to ask how am I doing. In every call I can tell how much he misses me, I can feel though he is not around I know he loves me. I thought maybe this is my chance to show him how grateful I am to be his daughter. I know I don't have much time left for me. Soon, Aro will come to me and change me. Yes, Aro and I still have communication. For the first month after I saved him he sent a guard to watch over me, to make sure I won't reveal their secrets. Honestly, who in their right mind will believe me if I ever talk about their existence to humans?
"Welcome home, Bells." Charlie announced cheerfully disrupting my thought. The moment I got out of the car, I was hit by a cold wind that made me shiver a little which did not go unnoticed by Charlie. "Let's go inside before you catch a cold." I just nodded then followed him inside the house. The house never change at all, it still looks like the same house Renee and I left five years ago. It felt... nostalgic.
"Is my room still the same one?" I asked Charlie who nodded in confirmation "I think I can use a little nap, I'm a bit tired. And dad?"
"Yes, Bells? You need something else?" I just shook my head then I surprise him by giving him a hug which he return awkwardly.
"I missed you, dad. Thank you for letting me live here again." I said sincerely to him.
"I missed you too and I am happy you're here." with that I released him to our hug then made my way to my room.
Once in my room, I ignored the boxes I need to unpack and went straight to bed. I lay there just contemplating what my life would become here in Forks. The thought of school made me groan. I hate school. That place are full of hormonal teenage boys and girls who love to gossips, not to mention evil teachers who loves to embarrass new kids like me by asking to introduce yourself in front of the class. 'Ugh! I hate being a new kid.'
I woke up at the sounds of someone knocking on my door. I groggily stood up from my bed and head to my door knowing it's just Charlie. I don't even remember when I had fallen asleep or how long I've been asleep.
"Hey dad, what's up?" I asked blinking sleepily.
"Morning, Bells. You should get ready for school if you don't want to be late. Come downstairs when you're done I have uhm gift for you." Charlie said smiling nervously at me. I just stared at him for a moment not registering what was being said. "Bells, you alright?"
"Y-yeah I'm fine, Charlie. I- uh.. yeah school. I should get ready." I stuttered blinking stupidly trying to clear my mind from sleepiness. I haven't realized I slept that long and it's already morning. Charlie muttered a simple 'okay' then went back to the kitchen. I quickly went to my suitcase to choose an outfit for today then got ready, I made sure to wear a thick bracelet to hide my scar that bitten by Aro. Once I'm done, I went to the kitchen where Charlie waiting for me only to be greeted by a smoke and a frantic dad.
"Dad? Why don't you sit back there and let me take care of breakfast. It won't take long, I promise." I suggests trying not to laugh at my dad's predicament. Charlie can only rub the back of his neck clearly embarrass, nodded at me as he sit down with newspaper at hand.
Breakfast was spent in comfortable silent for which I am glad. After breakfast dad offer to help me clean up the dishes but I shrugged her off saying I enjoy doing this for him. When I'm done he called me to go outside and to my surprise he hand me the key of may I say a really cool new red truck. My smile grew wider when he told me that it's mine. I am so happy that the next thing I knew I was hugging Charlie which he awkwardly reciprocated, he's not yet used to me hugging him but I knew he loves it.
I, Isabella Marie Swan wants nothing to do now but turn away and go home.
School.
I didn't hated school as much as I do now. And I am sure if you are in my situation, you will hate it too unless you want to be the center of attention whereas everyone I mean EVERYONE is looking at you the moment you got out of the car. Creepy. I don't like attention I'm getting so I hurriedly walk to the office ignoring those staring at me weirdly and get my schedule. Once I got it, I searched the classroom for my first class which is Math.
"Hi, you're the new kid, right? Isabella Swan?" asked the boy who appeared from nowhere. A friendly smile ever present to his face.
"Yeah, I prefer Bella. How may I help you?" I asked not wanting to be rude.
"Okay, Bella. I'm Eric and I was wondering if you need help finding your class. I can walk you there if you allow me to accompany you."
"Pleasure to meet you, Eric. Are you sure? I don't want to be a bother. Besides, it's a small school, I think I can find my math class on my own." I answered. Eric seem nice, I think we can be friends and the fact that he is not flirting with me made me like him more.
"Cool! We are in the same class. Let's walk together. Believe me when I say you're not a bother." Eric assured me. I just nodded and gave him an appreciative smile.
Class, unfortunately is... Unnerving. Not only everyone staring at me but there is one person that is getting on my nerves. Mike Newton. Based on what I heard from the girls, Mike is one of the popular boys that most girls in Forks high dream to date. I am not one of those 'most girls'. Mike in my own opinion is utterly annoying, irritating perverted guy I ever met. He flirted with me every chance he get. What made it worse is a girl if I recall it correctly her name is Jessica, seems to be jealous with the attention Mike is giving to me. If looks can kill I'll be dead ten times already by the glare she's throwing at me the whole time. And if you think it couldn't be worst? Then that's where you're wrong. Because Jessica and Mike are in all my class! Thankfully, Eric is nice enough to introduce me to Angela who like him, is nice. I also have the same class with her so luckily I won't be alone with Mike and Jessica. Me and Angela hit it off quickly and now we are heading to the cafeteria to join Eric, Mike, Jessica and their other friends that I haven't met yet to join them to lunch.
"Bella, Angela! Here, we saved you seats." Eric called waving at us. Me and Angela quickly went to their table, I gladly took a seat between Eric and Angela which made Mike pout and believe me it's not a pleasant sight to see. Once we are sat down, Mike begin to introduce me to Lauren who I can tell is best friend with Jessica since both of them have same bitch personality. Tyler, Mike's best bud and Ben, Angela's boyfriend who's thankfully nice too. The conversation flowed easily, of course as a new girl I am the topic of the table, asking me simple things that I answered politely. All of a sudden the whole cafeteria grew quiet including our table. I noticed that everyone are looking to the entrance of cafeteria, curious as to what's going on, I turn around to look. To my surprise, what I saw are five inhumanly beautiful creatures walking their way to what I assume is their spot in cafeteria. I know what they are, though their eyes aren't bloody red like Aro's I know they are the same creature as Aro.
'Vampires'
They are vegetarians. Aro explained to me that vegan vampires prefer to suck animal blood instead of human blood. He also said that to identify a vegan vampire all you have to do is look to their eyes as their eyes are gold instead of red.
"They are the Cullens, all are adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife. Beautiful, aren't they?" Angela said disrupting my thoughts. I can only nod to her dumbly. Wondering how can a vampire work in the hospital surrounding by human blood without losing his control.
"So what if they are beautiful. They're weird. Don't bother talking to them, Bella. All of them are snob. They never talk to anyone unless you are a family." Jessica said. Not hiding her hatred towards the Cullens.
"You're being judgmental Jess, you don't even know a thing about them. I think you're just bitter because Edward always ignore your flirting." Angela said making Jessica glared at her.
"Which of them is Edward?" I asked not wanting to hear Jessica defend herself when it is clear Angela is right.
"The one who have a permanent sex hair. Next to him the big guy, is Emmet, then there's Jasper who looks like in pain, the pixie like girl is Alice and the gorgeous blonde who always have a scowl in her face is Rosalie." Jessica answered introducing everyone of the Cullens when I only asked was Edward. I nodded in acknowledgment and turn my attention to the vampire family. Jessica is right to her short description of the Cullens. Especially to the last girl name Rosalie. The woman is truly gorgeous even with a scowl on her face, I mean yes all of them are gorgeous but Rosalie is ten times gorgeous than the rest of them. Okay, that's exaggerated but still. Her golden eyes unlike the other Cullens are calling me, pulling me close to them. I don't understand why but when I look at those golden eyes of hers, I felt trapped to them and I can't look away. I am well aware that Rosalie is looking at me and our eyes are lock to each other but for the life of me I can't look away!
"Bella, let's go. I'll walk you to your next class." Angela's voice broke to whatever trance I am in.
"You're not in my next class? Not even Eric?" I asked distractingly frowning not liking the idea. Class without Eric or Angela will surely be a disaster with Mike and Jessica in there.
"Sorry, but Ben will be in your class so it'll be okay." Angela said reassuringly. With a sigh of relief, me, Angela and Ben exited the cafeteria and head to our class. I forced myself not to look back to Rosalie's direction fearing that if I look again, I won't be able to to turned my gaze away anymore and that wouldn't be good since I still have three more classes to attend before I can go home.
(ROSALIE'S P.O.V)
"Hey, Alice. Any vision about the new kid?" Emmet asked with his usual cheerful self as we drove off to Forks high. You see, Forks is a very small town so rumors about the new kid in town traveled fast like a lightning strike. I don't really care about gossips about this new kid. She is just another human we need to avoid. I don't even know why my siblings are so interested to see this girl. I'm sure she's no different to those annoying humans so why bother seeing her?
"I had a vision of her before we left the house. It's weird because I saw all of us hanging out with her to our house." Alice replied to Emmet, giving me a weird look which I ignore as I am too absorb of what she had just said.
"How is that possible? She's human! She can't possibly go and hang out to a house full of vampires!" I interrupted before Emmet could talk. The thought is just absurd. We can't be friends with this new kid, it's too risky. Not because Alice saw it to her vision doesn't mean it has to happen. We have to avoid this human no matter what.
"Easy, Rose. I think it's cool to befriend the new kid. It's not like we will tell her our secret." my brother Emmet reasoned.
"Emmet is right, Rose. We don't have to tell her what we are. And besides, I need someone to accompany me with my shopping since no one of you wants to shop with me." Oh I almost feel bad for the human. Almost. Shopping with Alice is one hell of a torture if you ask me and my brothers, trust me.
"No, you two. We can't be friends with her. Better to avoid her than taking a risk of her finding out what we are. You don't want to kill the human if she found out, do you?" Okay, I know that was harsh but they have to know the possibilities of what will happen once this human found out our secret. The human will be killed whether we like it or not unless she agreed to be change.
"Let's talk about that later, we're here." Alice announced interrupting my thoughts. Looking around I saw Edward's Volvo was already parked both him and Jasper are leaning against it waiting for us to approach them. I exited Alice' Porsche roughly as I could for a vampire not bothering to hide my already bad mood.
"Moody eh?" commented Jasper feeling my emotions are all over the place.
"When she's not?" Alice answered with a shrug making my siblings laugh at my expense. I glared at them before stomping my feet to my first class without a word. It's not like I am always in a bad mood, it just that it's difficult for me to show my emotion to anyone even to my family.
Just like usual classes are boring the only different is everyone are talking about this new kid. It's impressive how many rumors about the new kid had already circulated around the school. It was just half of day and there's already huge amount of rumors about her. Poor girl.
Me and my siblings are now heading to cafeteria to maintain our facade as human. And like always, once we entered the cafeteria, we were greeted by silence while everyone's eyes are directly at us. Of course we are used to this kind of treatment so we just continue our walk to our usual spot, ignoring the stares we are receiving at the same time.
"Do any of you had class with the new girl?" Alice asked starting a conversation once we are all seated. My siblings shook their head negative as response to my sister's question. "Oh well, school's not over yet. There's still three subject to look forward to, maybe she'll be there."
"Are you still thinking of befriending her? Alice, we already talked about this! You can't put an innocent girl's life to danger!" I'm starting to get annoyed at my sister. I thought she understood but no, she still trying to be close to that human and risking the secrecy of our kind.
"Even if I ignore her, she will still end up friends with us. And you, my sister will be the one to bring the girl to the family." Alice explained smirking at me.
"Are you certain?" Edward asked frowning though I had no idea what he is asking about, I guess it is about to what he read to Alice' thoughts.
"Yes, Eddie. I'm certain. My vision told me so." Jasper, Emmet and I look questioningly to Alice and Edward but the two just shrugged.
"Alice, what do you mean that I'm the one will be bri-"
"Oh, I think that's her! Look, she's pretty!" Alice cut me short. I don't know if she did it intentionally to dodge my question or I'm just imagining it. Sighing, I followed the sight of where my sister is looking. The moment I caught sight of the girl, I felt like my dead heart start beating again. This girl... She's amazingly beautiful for a human. And when I look to those innocent brown eyes, everything around me seems to stopped. Suddenly, it's only just me and her, lock in each other' eyes. Too many emotions ran through me. Longing, joy, relieve, love. I know what this meant. At last, I found her. My happiness. My MATE. This girl. This girl is MINE. I need to know her. I need to be close to her. I won't let anyone take her away from me. I need to protect her, take care of her... Love her. I am about to walk over to her direction when she broke her gaze to me to look up to what I assume is her new friend.
"Bella, let's go. I'll walk you to your next class." I heard her friend said. 'So her name is Bella, it suits her.' a smile broke to my face without me realizing it.
"You're not in my next class? Not even Eric?" Bella asked, even with a frown she still look adorable and her voice... It's like music to my ear.
"Sorry, but Ben will be in your class so it'll be okay." her friend said reassuringly. And with that, her group leave the cafeteria. I was hoping for her to give me one last glance but to my disappointment she didn't looked back again.
"That confirm it." Edward commented distracting me to my thoughts. I forgot they are still here.
"Confirm about what?" Emmet asked.
"About the new kid being Rosalie's mate." Edward simply answered. Emmet face broke into a huge happy grin clearly happy that I finally found my mate. I can't help but smile at him appreciatively.
"She's human. I will need to discuss about it to Carlisle first before I can do something about her." I explained to them. They nodded in understanding, gave me a hug I guess for support before all of us went back to our class.
