This is it- the first chapter. This chapter focuses on the day before Bella's first day at Forks High School. Review and let me know what you think about it!

Disclaimer: Just to kill any rumors, even though I think that I've already covered this: I am not Stephenie Meyer and I don't own Twilight. I may want to, but I don't…

Chapter One: The Day Before

I stared at the steering wheel for the three-hundred and fifty-third day at this pathetic excuse for a high school, blocking the three-hundred or so voices from my mind. This was mostly idle chatter that had already been covered at the beginning of the year- What could they possibly still have to talk about?

Behind me sat my four brothers and sisters: Alice, a pixielike, thin girl, is my favorite sister who just so happens to be able to see the future in weird glimpses. Then there's Rosalie, tall and statuesque with a beautiful figure, who at times seems completely self-absorbed and shallow, but I always knew deep down that she'd be there for me. She's also a brilliant mechanic. My two brothers, Jasper and Emmett, are complete opposites as well. Jasper is tall and lean and is able to identify and influence the emotions around him. Emmett on the other hand is all muscle with a bunch of brute strength to back him up.

All of us along with Carlise and Esme, our adoptive parents, are vampires. Not the goofy Hollywood depiction of them, but real live- dead- vampires. Vampires have immortal life, which is what brings us back to the current situation of sitting in front of the high school in the hole-in-the-wall town of Forks, Washington.

Glancing at the clock, which read two minutes before the final starting bell, my family and I hesitantly got out of the car, an expensive Volvo S60 R, and trudged at a quick pace in monotonous silence. None of us was pleased to have to attend another day, much less another two years of high school because personally, I'd graduated from high school more times than anyone should have to…

Walking slowly, even for a human, I still got to class a few seconds before the tardy bell rang and resumed my position in the back corner of the classroom and stared out the window. I watched as the teacher nervously walked to the front of the room to face the class.

"I hope the class can pay attention to the subject today. What if they hate it?"

I laughed quietly so I was only one to hear it and resigned myself to my fourth lecture on trigonometric rational function…

After that class, the rest of the morning passed by really fast. Nothing good was happening in English, I know more about government than the teacher does, and with my vampire reflexes, gym is a snap.

Lunch was the usual, of course, my family and I separate from the rest of the students and take our own table, pretending to eat and staring intently on nothing in general for the entire period. No one tries to talk to us any more, not since we first moved in and purposely ignored them to avoid any unintended friendships.

I laughed slightly thinking on this and that raised questions from my family. Of course nothing was spoken out loud anymore if they wanted to talk to me. We answered aloud, but always quiet enough that no one could hear us. We tried to blend in…

"What are you thinking about?" That question came from Alice who always sat next to me and across from Jasper.

"Nothing much," I answered dully, talking is so overrated and I can't imagine why the humans love talking so much, "Just thinking about our life in Forks. I can't imagine how it could get any better. No one bothers us anymore."

This raised more thoughts from the peanut gallery:

""What is he on about? Does he think we care?" Rosalie's thought of course.

"I wonder what Rose thought to him... She looks guilty… Sorry for that Edward!" Emmett apologized for Rosalie's thoughts even though he hadn't heard them.

"Silly Edward, why do you ponder such thoughts?" I could always tell Alice's from the rest of the group.

The only one silent was Jasper and I took that as a good sign. Maybe he was thinking the same way. Life was different for the rest of the family; they had families of their own inside one family. Rosalie had Emmett and Alice had Jasper, leaving me with no one; but that never bothers me. I feel complete enough without someone else to worry about; besides; the whole love thing seems to be a bit complicated to me.

A few minutes before the end of lunch, I swiftly got up to dump my uneaten food into the garbage and walk to my next class with the rest of the family following. We had arranged our schedules so that when we all were absent at once, we wouldn't be noticed as much, and so we were all headed to opposite ends of the building.

I was stuck going to biology II by myself, not that solitude actually bothered me. I was the first person in the classroom, so there really was no rush for me to get to my seat. When the rest of the kids rushed into the classroom jubilantly I spread my books out on the table next to me and waited for Mr. Banner to start the class.

Today's lesson was especially boring, and I felt sorry for the teacher that I wasn't more interested in his lecture. I'd also been through med school twice, so I really didn't need to learn biology again. Of all the times I wished upon everything that I could sleep, this class was it.

The rest of the day was useless and uneventful like the morning. I hate learning Spanish when I knew Spanish before she was born. You shouldn't be able to say that about a teacher, but I could.

Alice waved to me from my car and I could already see the rest of them waiting patiently to get inside and get home. I laughed as I sped to a brisk sprint to the car; I was a bit fast to be blending in like a human, but no one would pay serious attention after school when most of the cars are gone anyway.

I turned the car on and turned the music to a dull roar in the background while backing neatly out of the space and onto the main road. I accelerated to about 110 mph as soon as I noticed that I was the only one on the road and we reached the house in only a few short minutes. I hate driving slow, so I don't and if, and only if- I had never hit anything, we ever got in an accident we'd be able to walk away from it easily.

Inside of our house we were a totally different family than during school. Usually after a school day, Jasper and Emmett would try to even the score of their wrestling matches with Rosalie and Alice keeping score and calling fouls on each other's husband.

Me on the other hand, I enjoyed sitting in my room and listening to my music collection. Ever since I was turned I had been collecting every bit of music that I could get my hands on, so it was only fitting that I had a very comprehensive collection. Money was never an issue if you had forever to make more of it and it was easy to buy the cds that I liked during the years. These were put in order of year and inside each year it was in order of personal preference.

When we moved here, I fixed the acoustics of my room so each note sounded like you were in the room with the band. My room also had a black leather couch to listen to music on since I had no use for a bed.

I hadn't even gotten half-way to my room when I heard the wrestling matches start to continue with low growls from the main floor of the house. I was smarter to stay up here during the matches if you didn't want to be involved…

I got into listening to one of my Debussy albums and lost track of all time. By the time I realized that I had zoned out, the disk had played and replayed at least fifteen times and it was time to face yet another day of school with the annoying humans.

How was I to know that the impending events of tomorrow had the potential to be more tragic than school itself? If I had known, perhaps I would have chosen that day, above all others, to stay home…

Author's Note: So how was that? I tried to darken the POV a little since Edward is a little darker than the other fanfics portray him as, but I may not have entirely succeeded… The next chapter will be labeled 'The Week After' and will be set after the chapter that Ms. Meyer has already given us in Edwards POV. I don't believe that I could write anything as great as hers was so I'm not even going to try for that… If you want to read that go to Stephenie Meyer's website at www dot stepheniemeyer dot com and seek out Midnight Sun on the sequels list. On that page there should be a .pdf link to her first chapter of Twilight rewritten. So, go read that and come back next week for the next chapter in this series where it'll start getting a little better story-wise since the plot wasn't mostly made-up things in my mind. Review please! See ya!
