sorry it took me a while everybody...high school stuff kicked in my spare time. Well, BEHOLD CHAPTER 3...it's acceptionally long. xD

Bella's POV

It took me a few days to get myself packed in to the house. I took the guest room that was next to Kiley's room. Kiley wasn't a very organized person. Her room was almost covered in posters of monkeys and squirrels and other funny cartoons. I noticed a violin case next to her bed one day and became curious. I didn't know that she had taken a liking to music. In fact, I really didn't know anything about how Kiley spent her spare timeShe seemed more of the "reading" type to me. I can't play any instruments, and I'm not a very good singer, but I make up for that with reading. I loved to read classics.. "Hey Kiley, you play the violin?" I asked her one day, pointing to the violin case.

She looked at the case and turned and gave me a thoughtful look. "Yeah...I love it. It's...amazing for me." She said that as if she was mesmerized by it. I tilted my head to the side in confusion, What's so great about a wooden instrument?

She blinked and composed her face back to a normal look. "Sorry, I get lost when I think about violins. I've turned into quite the music fan over the past 9 years." She gave me a smirk.

"Can you sing?" I asked.

She snorted, "Yeah, but you won't be hearing anything like that anytime soon." Awww...

"How come?"

She smiled again, "Reasons that I could never be able to tell you. Not even if I was normal..." She looked at the ground and seemed to be thinking about something very carefully. I didn't like it when she said things like that. I didn't want her to feel like she was a freak just because she could do a few things that other people can't. Well, that, and the fact the she was unreasonably fast, strong, and smart.

She looked at me with her goofy grin and said, "Hey, you're going to Forks High now right? Just to let you know, I always get to the school at like, an hour before it opens." I stared at her in amazement. An hour? No thank you, I'll go by myself!

She laughed, "Don't worry, I won't make you go with me, but you should just know that we may or may not have the same classes most of the time. So if you have any trouble, ask any of the students in your class. And if they give you trouble, tell them I'm your sister." She grinned widely.

"You have some sort of reputation in school?" I asked, truly interested now.

"Yep." She popped the sound of the P.

I snorted, "Really? Let me guess, you're the school bully?" She always had a temper.

She smirked at me deviously. "Something like that... Oh, and another thing..." She paused to see if I was really paying attention now. I nodded, signaling her to continue.

"Stay away from the Cullens. They're a group of juniors with pale skin, golden eyes, and blonde hair....well one is tiny and red-headed. Anyways, they aren't the kind of people you should hang out with."

"Why? What do they do?" I asked.

She gave me the look that a father gives to his daughters when he talks about bad people. "Stay. Away. From. The. Cullens." She said with a tone of finality in her voice. I gulped and nodded. Wow, something must be really off about these guys if they make Kiley act this protective. Guess I'll just find out about it in school...

When my first day of school had finally arrived, I woke up and found a note that was taped to my forehead dangling in front of my nose.

"Kai...." I grumbled as I took the paper off my head and read it, still half asleep.

Morning Sleepy Head! I wrote this note to tell you that you won't really be seeing me in the morning when we have school. I go really early to do some clarical work for teachers and things like that. Anyways, when you get to the school, go to the Main Office and ask for a program. After you're done for the day, meet me in front of the school so we can see which classes we have together! See ya in school sis!

~Kai

I rolled my eyes and chuckled. Of course, she found it necessary to tape this over my head rather than leaving it on my table for me to read it. I got up from my bed and stretched a little. I got myself cleaned up and went downstairs for breakfast. The house was empty, so that must mean Charlie was at work already. Charlie was a police officer in Forks, so a lot of people knew him. I flinched at the thought that a lot of people in school might know me since they knew him. After stumbling around with my breakfast and backpack, I got to my new, well, almost new truck and heard the engine roar to life. Dinosaur...

Finding the school wasn't difficult, though I'd never been there before. The school was just off the highway. It was not obvious that it was a school; only the sign, which declared it Forks High School, made me stop. It looked like a collection of matching houses, built with maroone-colored bricks. There were so many trees and shrubs that I couldn't see the school's size at first. Wow, this place is pretty quiet... Just then, I heard a bunch of boys and girls that looked like seniors running around the patio cursing at each other, being chased by a very angry looking teacher. Huh. Guess I spoke too soon. I took a deep breath before opening the main door.

Inside, it was brightly lit and warmer than I'd hoped. The office was small; a little waiting area with padded folding chairs, orange-flecked commercial carpet, notices and awards cluttering the walls. There were three desks behind the counter, one of which was being manned by a large, red-haired woman wearing glasses.

The large woman smiled at me and asked, "Hello there. Can I help you?"

"My name is Isabella Swan. I'm a new admit to this school." I said calmly.

Her face lit up as realization had hit her. Yes, I was the one they were expecting. Chief Swan's daughter, Isabella Marie Swan. Hmm...I wonder what's in store for me here..

The woman gave me my program sheet and I made my way off to my first class of the day. Hmm...Let's see....agh, English! Not my favorite way to start the day....

I made my way over to the class and introduced myself to the teacher. She seemed pretty nice, and the students didn't seem to be concerned with the new kid. That was good. There was no sign of Kiley in any of the classes I had so far. That was, until I had lunch of course.

"Hi!" I heard a cheerful voice chirp up from behind me. It was a girl from my Math class. What was her name again? Miranda? Melanie? Madelyn? Oh! That's right, Jessica! I turned around and smiled lightly at the girl, only to be frightened by an even wider grin with teeth practically bearing out as if they were about to devour me. Whoa...back up smiley..

"Hi..." I said softly. She grinned even wider and started to walk beside me.

"My name is Jessica, you're new here right? Oh, that's so cool! You should hang out with some of my friends! I bet they'd love to meet you. Hey, can I see your program sheet? Oh wow! We have like, five classes together! Oh my god, you have Mr. Kelenburg? He is so annoying! I mean, he gave me detention once...." I zoned out the rest of her consistent mumbling. I just nodded and smiled whenever she would pause between words to look at me. God...this girl can talk...when was the last time she stopped to take a breath?

Jessica invited me over to her table with a few of her friends. I didn't see Kiley anywhere around the cafeteria, but i did notice a group of kids huddled over by a table in the corner of the cafeteria.

"Hey, who are those kids over there?" I asked Jessica while she was rambling on about....something I wasn't even paying attention to. She turned her head over to the kids I was talking about and smiled.

"Oh...those are the Cullens. The tiny red head is Alice, the guy with frizzy blonde hair next to her is Jasper, the big and buff one is Emmet, and the blonde supermodel is Rosalie."

I noticed that she had left out the boy that was sitting at the edge of the table who didn't seem to be swarmed over by a mate.

"What about him?" I asked, pointing to the quiet boy with tussled hair. She turned to look at the boy I was pointing to and her face fell with insecurity.

"Oh...that's Edward Cullen. He thinks he's too good for everyone else in this school." Hmm... I wonder how many times she'd been rejected by him...

"Don't bother wasting your time with him..." She was about to continue when we heard another girl that was sitting next to me clear her throat, wanting to intervene.

She looked at me and smiled. "Hi! My name's Madelyn, but call me Maddie. You're the new kid, right? Sorry, but I couldn't help overhear your were talking about the Cullens?"

"Um, yeah. They seem really quiet..." I said, not taking my eyes off Edward.

"Yeah, Edward is really quiet, he doesn't even talk, but you know what's creepy?"

"What!?" Jessica asked eagerly. Gossip crowd...lovely...but strangely, I was curious to know more about this family.

Madelyn smiled and looked at me. "You see that girl over there talking to that teacher?" She said, pointing to Kiley. This made me even more curious. I didn't want to tell Maddie that she was my sister, at least not yet. Not before I could find out this little secret. I nodded at Maddie, trying to hold back a smile.

"I heard she's going out with Edward. Someone told me that they saw them together after school one day in an alley. Edward was all pushed up against the wall and she was like... all over him." I flinched at the thought of that while Jessica shuddered.

"OH MY GOD! That loner with Cullen!?" Jessica suddenly shouted. Maddie signaled her to calm herself while I rubbed my ear in discomfort. Gah! The maniac screams about everthing! Agh...

"Loner? How is she a loner?" I asked the two girls. How could this playfull, hyper, and persistent monkey be a loner in anyone's eyes? Well, except for maybe Jacob's.....

"She doesn't hang out with like...anyone else besides Virgil. That boy over there." Maddie said, pointing to the boy sitting next to Kiley. I couldn't help but notice the light smile that spread across his face, though his back was turned towards us and I could just barely see his tan face.

"And she's always giving people this weird look. Like, a few weeks ago, a guy named Damien asked her out, and she was gave him a look that practically read, 'Fear me' all over it. Then she told him that she had no interest to waste her time with someone like him, and that she'd never realize why "skinheads" like him are so predictable." Jessica added on. Skinheads...? It sounded as if she thought he was different because he had skin like a .... human. Oh damn....

"Kiley Lunatea, the weirdest girl in Forks High School, with Edward...Cullen. God, could life get anymore unfair?" Jessica muttered. Two tan colored hands suddenly ghosted over Jessica and Maddie's shoulders as they flinched.

"I believe I heard my name. Can I have an explanation?" Kiley was suddenly behind the two girls and smirked lightly. She then looked at me and smiled.

"Hey Bells! How's school going so far?" She asked. I watched Madelyn and Jessica look at each other in confusion for a moment, then there heads turned towards me, dumbfounded.

"You two know each other...?" Madelyn asked. Kiley shifted a heavy gaze on her and chuckled.

"Hmm...do I know my own younger sister? What a question...." Kiley said, unimpressed.

Madelyn gave her a dirty look. "Don't talk to me like some idiot just because I didn't know you two were related, ok?" She rolled her eyes and the boy that Kiley was sitting with was soon behind her.

"Kiley, what's up?" He asked. He glanced down at me with focused green eyes. He then gave Kiley a questioning look, but she just nodded, as if answering an unspoken question. The boy ran his hand through his black, shaggy hair.

"Nothing, just saying 'Hi' to Bella. Bella, this is Virgil. Virgil, meet Bella, my sister." Virgil smiled and held his hand out for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you Bella. I hope you like Forks so far." He said kindly. I shook his brawlic hand and said, "Yeah, it's pretty nice here."

After introductions had been taken care of, the first bell for the next class had rung. Madelyn and Jessica left the table as fast as they could, so Virgil said 'bye' and went after them to class. I was alone with Kiley.

"A talkative bunch they are...Bella, what class do you have now?" She said cooly. I looked at my program sheet and checked the schedule.

"Biology...Room 313." I said. Kiley smiled as she picked up her backpack and slung it over her shoulder.

"Cool, so do I. Let's go together." she said. We started walking up the stairs when I could have sworn I heard Kiley hiss.

"You ok?" I asked. She squinted her eyes in pain and I watched worriedly as she clutched her hair. She didn't turn to look at me when she answered.

"Y-yeah...fine. Agh, just...got a headache." She said in an exasperated whisper. She composed her structure back to a normal pose and started up the stairs again.

When we got to class, Kiley introduced me to my new Biology teacher.

"Mr. Pike, my sister Bella is a new admit to Forks High School. She just came from Phoenix." She started.

"Ah, I didn't know Kiley had a sister. Very nice to meet you Ms. Lunatea."

"Thank you, but my name is Bella Swan, not Lunatea." I corrected him.

"Oh? But I thought you two were blood related... I don't mean to pry though." He said.

"Mr. Pike, I am an adopted child. Bella is not blood-related to me." Kiley paused for a moment and flinched. "We aren't biologically related, but our guardians are the same."

"Ah, I see. Well Ms. Swan, you're going to need a lab partner for this class. Hmm...we can seat you with Edward." Mr. Pike said. Edward? CULLEN? My eyes slowly shifted towards Kiley and I saw her shoulders slightly tense. She looked like she was dying to control whatever emotion she was hiding.

Kiley started, "Mr. Pike, I think it would be best if Bella was to work with someone she was more familiar with. Can I switch my partner to work with her?"

The teacher gave her a stern look. "I'm sorry Kiley, but you know the rules. Boys and girls work together in this class. No exceptions." Kiley sighed and hung her head low.

I tried to act like I hadn't known anything about the Cullens yet. "Um, who's Edward?" I asked innocently.

Kiley's cold eyes shot towards me and then to the boy sitting alone at the table to the right side of the classroom. She sneered and stabbed her index finger towards him without looking at me.

"Him..." She said coldly. Kiley then sighed and ran her hand through her long, dark brown hair. She walked slowly to her seat and I started to make my way towards mine.

Hmm...Edward Cullen...

Done!! whew...it takes me a while to write these things because I need to balance them with high school priorities and whatnot. ;o Leave comments and tell ur friends about this slightly awesome story!!! xD woot
