I do not own twilight. Sorry I know it's a long chapter!

Chapter two: Twilight Part Two

The weekend had slipped through my fingers, and quickly arrived the moment where I dragged myself out of bed to get ready for school.

Charlie and I sat at the table, he was eating toast and I was slowly munching on cheerio's.

'Dad?' I said.

'Yes Bella?'

'What's school...gonna be like?' I asked.

Charlie studied my face and my anxiety must have been obvious.

'Hey, kiddo- don't worry. Just be yourself' he checked his watch, and put his plate in the sink.

'I'll get us some pizza tonight.' He smiled a crinkly smile and left me to my own thoughts.

The truck was loud; I guess it can't be perfect. It backfired a few times when I started her up. My nerves intensified as I got closer to the school. If it hadn't been for the signs indicating the school was close I wouldn't have known, for Forks High School looks like just a cluster of huts.

There were kids already here, catching up after the summer...or knowing a town this small they probably all saw each other anyway.

These kids were probably already tight-knit in their own cliques. Great.

Already resigning myself to being an outsider, I parked my truck in a far corner and trudged up to the reception just as it began to rain. I loved the rain, it was what made this earth. I had a strong urge to change into an animal and leave this world forever.

'Hello dear' the receptionist was a plump and kindly looking woman.

'Hi...I'm euuhh...Bella Swan.'

Her eyes lit up with recognition...Charlie's obviously been talking about me.

'Ah Isabella Swan, we've been expecting you...here's your schedule, and a map of the school.'

She smiled widely.

I already hate this place.

'It's just Bella.' I said tiredly.

My first lesson...English- was in building four. Where the hell was that?

People were starting to filter in now, and were walking past me in streams. I stopped dead and looked around for building four.

'Need some help?' said a nasal voice 'You must be Isabella, I'm Eric' He said this all very fast.

'Err...Hi nice to meet you...it's just Bella actually, and yeah-' without asking he snatched the map and my time table off me.

'This way!' he smiled broadly.

He began to chatter incessantly about the school and the people, at least I didn't have to talk much. To keep him happy, I just nodded and smiled where needed.

In what seemed like a hundred years we finally came to building four.

'See you at Lunch?' he had a pained expression.

'Sure...thanks again...Eric...' I said awkwardly.

The teacher asked me to take a seat, and my first lesson in mainstream school began.

I tried my best to smile at everyone who gave me a curious glance, but I think by the end they just thought I was a bit mentally unstable. We were learning about Shakespeare, which I had already read. I tried to take notes carefully anyway, trying to 'be good' as it were.

The social situations around me were fascinating. Boys and girls laughing and giggling around me, how was I ever going to fit in? I'd seen enough sitcoms and movies to know that lunch was the time when everyone sat in their groups, and was the worst time for loners.

I guess I could sit with Eric...I think I'd rather be a loner.

The morning went by uneventfully; some other girls came up to talk to me, two of them I was walking to my last class before lunch with now. Jessica and Angela I believe their names are.

Jessica talked non- stop about the boys in our year; I smiled and laughed where necessary, Angela spoke a little.

Angela accompanied me to the lunch room-Jessica having found someone more interesting to talk to.

I sat with their friends, and was introduced to all of them. There was a Mike and a Tyler, but god knows how I will remember all their names.

'So Bella, what school were you at before?' The guy called Mike asked me. He was baby faced, with his blonde hair gelled into carefully sculpted spikes.

'Well actually, I was homeschooled. Total freak right?' I said lightly.

They all laughed; maybe school won't be so bad.

I spoke to soon.

The cafeteria door opened and in breezed the most beautiful people in this planet.

I was so sure it was a photo shoot or something I looked around for a photographer.

'Who are they?' I directed into the group I was sitting with. All the boys shrugged and carried on talking to each other about sports. But the girls knew exactly who I meant.

'Those are the Cullens,' Jessica whispered to me. 'That's Emmett and Rosalie...' she indicated the first two that walked in, my eyes were fixed on the tear inducing beauty of the girl Rosalie. She was like Aphrodite incarnate. My eyes flitted over to the guy on her arm.

I did a double take.

It was the guy from the forest!

My eyes narrowed.

'That's Jasper and Alice...' Jessica was saying gesturing to a boy with messy blonde hair, and a very thin girl with pixie dark hair. 'And that's Edward. Gorgeous isn't he?' she waved at the last lone boy.

He indeed was something to look at. He had chiselled features, and a beautiful mop of bronze hair.

They all sat together, not eating and not talking.

'Are...they related?' I gulped. They were all different...yet all the same. They all had the same icy white pallor to their skin, and gentle purple bruises under their eyelids. All of them have eyes black as coal.

Angela leant forward. 'No, they're all adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife. They are a lovely couple' She commented.

I looked up again to see the one called Edward whispering to his family. I wonder....

'Yeah...but they're altogether...like together together. It's creepy...' Jessica hissed at Angela.

'They are all very...nice looking' I said awkwardly.

At that moment, all the Cullens smiled as Jessica and Angela giggled.

Weird.

The conversation quickly turned to something else; I made sure that Angela and Jessica were occupied.

Quickly I pulled my long hair over my ears, and morphed my human ears into those of noctuid moth's. Their hearing was impeccable.

I quickly picked up on their conversation.

'That Jessica is a bitch...' Emmett was saying.

'She fancies you...' his girlfriend, Rosalie replied.

'Who's the new girl?' Jasper said changing the subject.

'I don't know I can't see anything about her...' the thin girl, Alice said, sounding worried.

What is that supposed to mean?

They all looked at me then. Non chalantly as possible, I picked up a sandwich and bit into it.

'I can't read her either...' Edward said.

Who the hell are these people?

'Can you get a scent on her?' Jasper asked anxiously.

'Too much blood in here.' Rosalie commented.

Too much....blood?

Mike was waving his hand in my face. I quickly morphed back my real ears.

'Bella? You ok? Zoned out there for a sec!' he said jovially

'Sorry! I was totally in my own world!' I apologised.

I said my goodbyes and made my way to biology. Who are these people? I was starting to feel a little freaked out... I took my time getting to class, thinking over what they had said.

'You must be the new student. I'm Mr. Banner. Take a seat.' He gestured into the room. I looked around, and felt my stomach drop. There was only one seat left...next to Edward Cullen.

I settled into my seat, and made sure I was as a far away as I possibly could.

Mr. Banner began the lesson. I chanced a glance at Cullen. He was almost symmetrical to my own position, leaning as far away as possible and gripping the table with such a force I was sure he would rip a piece clean off.

He turned his head to glare imperceptibly at me. His beetle black eyes were boring into me.

What is his problem?

I quickly turned back to the lesson, the quicker this finishes the better.

We did not exchange looks again, and as soon as the bell rang he was out of room so quickly I swear I imagined it.

'Hey Bella, want me to walk you to your next class?' Mike asked.

'That's ok, I've got gym.' I said distractedly.

'Me to!' Mike said happily.

Gym class was uneventful, due to my...animal like reflexes I've always been somewhat talented when doing sports, but I never cared for them. I was relieved to get to my truck, which was parked a way away from mike and the others. The Cullen's however must have had the same idea as me and had parked quite near me.

I quickly morphed my ears again, and pretended to be rustling around my bag.

Rosalie and Emmett were already in the car, Jasper was putting his schoolbag in the trunk and Edward was talking to Alice.

'Her scent was just...uncontrollably desirable Alice, I wanted her then and there...' he was saying. 'However, she didn't smell...totally human...are you sure you can't read anything off her?'

'No, Edward I'm sorry' she said a tinkling voice.

They got into the car, and drove off at a break neck speed.

As I drove home I thought of all the supernatural beings that my mother has taught me about. All the signs were there... I just didn't recognise them for what they were because the Cullens are so controlled. I shivered. They were vampires, I was sure of it. The only vampires I've known were crazy with the scent of blood...how are the Cullens able to cope going to school?!

One thing's for sure, I was taking another trip into the forest -tonight...
