I KNOW! I'M TERRIBLE!

Okay, I haven't updated in months. I'm so sorry! I feel bad. I guess I kinda forgot about fanfiction-ing… yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry! Here's the new chapter. I'll try to update more often.

OOH! And btw, Bella's a shield, right? So in this story her gift includes blocking Alice's gift, which is why Alice can't see Bella anymore.

That night was boring. I gave Jane and Alec the excuse that I wanted to unpack and stayed in my room until morning. I was nervous for school tomorrow. School reminded me of him. Actually, everything reminded me of him, to tell the truth. I sighed to myself. I really needed to get over him. He left me alone, and was never coming back. Aro was right- I needed to accept the fact that I would never see him again. He probably didn't even remember me… I wish I didn't remember him.

"Bella! It's 8:15, we're going to be late if you don't get your butt down here right this second!" Jane screamed at me from downstairs.

I had completely lost track of time, and had lost myself in all the memories I had in this town. I whirled around the room, yanking on a pair of jeans and a frilly pink shirt that was more Jane's taste than mine. I grabbed my book bag that was packed with my freshly bought school supplies and brushed my hair before zooming downstairs.

"Calm down, I'm here!" I told Jane and followed her and Alec out the door. We took Jane's car because she insisted on it and made it to Forks High School in exactly 4 minutes and 49 seconds. School started at 8:30 so the parking lot was about half filled when we arrived. We parked near the office and walked inside to get our schedule. The receptionist stared at us as we wrote our names on the paper. My first class was Trigonometry, which I had with Jane. We said goodbye to Alec, who headed off to Spanish, and made our way to building 4, where the Trig classroom was. The teacher's name was Mrs Stanley and she smiled at us when we told her we were new. We sat in the back of the room and the students kept turning their heads to stare at us: the pale, beautiful, mysterious new kids. I noticed Matt Newton at the front of the class. He kept smiling and waving at me and mouthing things like "hey, remember me from the club?" and "come sit by me!" I pretended to not understand what he was mouthing.

Jane kept loudly sighing to herself and grumbling about how this was a waste of time. I knew she thought this whole thing was stupid, but hey, I wasn't forcing her to be here. Aro was.

When the bell rang Matt bounded up to me.

"Hey! Hey, it's Bella, right? Oh my god, I can't believe you go here! Where are you from?"

"We're from Florida," I said, smiling at him. Florida was our cover story. Actually, Alec had an apartment in Miami so it was kind of true, right?

Jane rolled her eyes and walked away. She didn't have a lot of patience with humans. Matt had gym next and I had Biology so I declined his request to walk me to the Biology classroom. "I'm sorry but I have to find a friend. Maybe I'll see you later, okay?" I said, flashing him a dazzling smile.

"Sure, Bella! See you later!" He grinned and walked down the hallway. I found Alec coming out of the Spanish classroom.

"Ugh, humans are so dumb. Some kid kept mixing up "hola" and "aloha." How stupid can you get?" Alec complained to me as we found our lockers.

I forced a smile and grabbed my Biology books. Alec and Jane had English next, so I walked to Biology alone. When I got there the class was already seated. I walked in and gave the teacher my papers. Again, everyone stared at me. If I had been human, I would've blushed.

All of a sudden I felt someone probing my thoughts. Immediately my training at the Volturi kicked in and I slammed up my mental defences. When I had been turned into a vampire, my gift had become the ability to block almost any mental attack. That included Alice's prophesies and Jasper's emotions. That had been why Alice hadn't been able to see me as a vampire- I had blocked her from seeing anything to do with me. The only attacks I couldn't ward off were complete physical ones.

I searched for the attacker in the sea of students and my eyes fell on the one person I hadn't stopped thinking about for 56 years. Without hesitating, without even thinking about it, I was running.

This could not be happening. I needed to get away.

There! I didn't want to stop but I had to because I have a big Science test tmr that I need to study for. So again, I'm sorry for not updating.

Please review!

I'll love you if you do!
