DEFYING DESTINY

CHAPTER 1

The day before…

I hunched over, feeling the blood begin to drip down my face to collect in a pool at my feet. I choked on the crimson liquid, feeling the coppery taste brand my tongue. Great, this ruined my make-up. Spitting out the blood, I double-kicked the two fully-grown men holding out my arms and spun around and kicked the other guy who was punching me. All three of them fell down, unconscious.

Heh, they probably need to go to the hospital, I thought with a smirk.

Flicking my knee-length blue-black hair, I turned and walked off.

My name is Serenity Winter. Because my eyes carry the winter- coldness in my heart.

I am sixteen years old. I'm in my last year of high school – I was put forward two years because of my intelligence. I've been transferred to Forks High School because of it's good reputation.

Reapplying my white foundation, black lipstick and eyeliner in the school parking lot, I turned around to see a pale, well-built teenaged guy with coppery –colored hair and the most smouldering golden eyes looking at me. Giving him my most inviting smile, I sauntered over to where he was standing and said;

"Hi there! I'm Serenity Winters. I'm new here. D'ya think you could show me around?"

I widened my eyes and pouted slightly. He visibly gulped and nodded.

"My name's Edward Cullen," he said.

He gave me a crooked smile.

"I'll take you to the office," he continued. "You'll get your class timetables there."

He led the way through a long corridor. It was unnerving 'cos everyone stared at me. All the stupid cheerleaders sniffed and turned their stupid backs to me. I glared at them and bared my white teeth with their abnormally long incisors. Edward leaned closer to me. Protectively.

"Forgive me. Guys here haven't seen your kind in awhile," he whispered into my ear.

"My kind? What exactly do you mean by that?" I shouted.

He flinched visibly and looked down and slumped his shoulders.

"There aren't many pretty girls here. Most of them are so plain compared to…" He let the sentence linger.

I looked away and blushed, then noticed a thin, fragile-looking girl with big brown eyes, brown, wavy hair and really odd lips looking at me with agony clear in her eyes.

"Who is that?" I asked, jerking my head towards the odd girl.

"That's Bella. She's my girlfriend," he remarked sheepishly.

I felt my breathing halt and my heart flop. We walked in silence for awhile until we reached the office and the bell rang.

"I have to go," Edward said while looking through his long lashes at me.

"Okay," I said.

I turned to open the door to the office when his voice stopped me.

"Wait."

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Maybe we have some classes together. You wanna hang out sometime?" he asked, looking away as he said it.

"Maybe…" I grinned, flipping my hair and walking into the office.
