Wait! What! The Cullen's? Who are the Cullen's? Did I look like them? Wait! No! That's not possible! There's meant to be no one more beautiful than vampires! Isn't there? Ugh I'm so confused. If there was anyone who looked like me they must be pretty popular. And if there was anyone who was like me they would most likely be freaks in the corner. I had to convince myself that I would run into no one like me, which would be almost impossible.
With everyone staring at me I walked to the small office with one lady in it who had dyed red hair and was dressed in a purple polka-dot jumper and black slacks.
"How….." she paused when she looked up from what she was doing. "M-m-may I h-help you?" She was stuttering with her words.
"Hello, I'm Lilly Ross. And I'm here to collect my schedule." I flashed her a smile with my bright, white teeth.
The office lady almost fainted at the sight. "Umm….Of course. Here you go." She handed me a piece of paper with a grid of classes, a map and other information I may need. "You will need to get your teachers to sign this piece of paper and return it to be by the end of the day. Are you by any chance related to the Cullen's or Hale's, Lilly?" Again with these Cullen's, but now a new family name had been added to the equation, the Hale's. Who were these people?
"Thank you very much. And no, I'm not related to the Cullen's or Hale's. I'm not sure I have ever met them." I replied in the nicest voice I could manage, trying not to be irritated by this 'Cullen' thing.
"Oh, OK." She sounded surprised at the fact that I was not related to them. "It's just that….Well….You look a lot like them that's all."
"Well I guess I look forward to meeting them." I gave her another smile and she had the same reaction as last time.
On that note I left the office. When I was a few steps away the office lady mumbled under her breath, "good luck with that, Lilly." So I could only assume that It was going to be hard to get to know them.
I looked at my schedule and found my locker number and combination. Locker 121, combination 23, 02, 43. OK this should be easy. I told myself numerous times. Then the bell rang, I quickly looked at my piece of paper and saw that my first class was with Mr. Yardley in room 3. I had to double take at my year to see what class I was in. I was only a junior? Well I guess I looked older than I was.
Mr. Yardley's class was art. He was nice enough but still almost fainted when I flashed him a smile after he signed my paper. My second class was with Mrs. Jane and she taught modern history.
I was over school in the first 2 classes. Before I knew it, it was lunch time. I hadn't met anyone yet because then ever I walked into a class they would gossip about me always saying the names Cullen and Hale.
"Hey, I'm Dominic. You must be the new Cullen kid?" Dominic was a bit taller than me with short blond hair. She seemed nice and thought the same way as everyone else so I guess she could be my friend.
"Hey I'm Lilly, and no I'm not a Cullen kid my last name is Ross." My voice had a bit of acid in it when I said 'Cullen'.
"Oh, well, you do look a lot like them. Would you like to sit with me today?" Dominic asked.
"Sure!" I was a little bit excited because I thought I might have to sit by myself today.
Dominic led me to the cafeteria and then to the food line. I knew this would be a problem so I insisted that I wasn't hungry and only got a can of coke. I could pretend to drink it. Suddenly the cafeteria was filled with the most beautiful scent. Oh, scents that reminded me I had to hunt tonight.
I turned around to see who or what it was. I knew it couldn't be food so it must be someone which worried be because I didn't what to eat who the scent was coming from. It wasn't that kind of smell, it was sweet. Dominic led me to her table and introduced me to her friends, Tim, Frank, Heath, Lucy and Karla. Nice enough people but I was still wondering where that scent was coming from.
Just then I saw a group of people though the windows of the cafeteria. They looked beautiful. I asked Domi (the nick name her friends gave her and insisted I called her too) who they were. "Hey Domi?"
"Yes, Lills?" She replied I told her to call me Lills.
"Who are they?"
"The Cullen's and Hale's. Don't worry about them they don't talk to anyone besides them selves."
"Oh, well what are there names?"
"Umm, Edward, Jasper, Alice, Emmett and Rosalie. Bella is the other one, she's with Edward. Jasper and Alice are together and so are Rosalie and Emmett."
"OK"
Once they sat down they stared at me and I stared at them. Everyone had been right, they did look like me and I looked like them. They had the same eyes that same skin and I heard no heart beats coming from that table well only one, Bella's I assumed she didn't look like me or the rest of them. I knew they would confront me soon enough. I was 99% sure they were vampires too. Either that or they were drop dead gorgeous.
After lunch the one named Alice came up to me and smiled. Now I was sure she was a vampire, there was no mistaking in those teeth.
"I'm Alice, and your Lilly right?" Alice was bright and quirky.
"Yea, that's me." I answered back
"I know I don't know you or anything, But would you like to come over to my house this afternoon?"
She was been very straight forward with her confrontation. "Yea, sure."
"Great, meet me at the office after school." She loped off after that. She was so graceful. It stuck me then at that moment that I didn't know Alice at all. What if they were going to do something bad, hurt me or kill me? I calmed myself down and told myself 'you are just as strong as they are'.
After school I met Alice at the office. I gave in my slip that I had to get all my teachers to sign. She looked like she was about to jump out of her socks with the expression she had on her face. I tried to show some enthusiasm. "Hey, Alice."
"Hello, Lilly how was your first day?" Alice asked
"Good thanks. How are we getting to your place?" Wow I was surprised I was been so straight forward, Alice must rub off on people.
"We have to wait until everyone's has left then were running." She eyed me down. I take that this was the test to see my reaction, if I replied 'what the hell I'm no running creep!' then she would know she was wrong about me.
"OK, sounds good." She beamed at me.
