Hallooooh!
So the decision of changing my name from Madi to Victoria has not been finalized yet :P

This chapter is the start of her downward journey in school. Will people treat her differently? Can the teachers be the same around her? Nobody knows!!!
well…actually I know but…I'm not gonna ruin your fun.

Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure I don't own twilight. Or Gaspard Ulliel (have you guys seen him?!? He is HOT! He's a better Edward Cullen I think)

Also I'm doing a bit of changing POV in this chapter. If it works I'll use it more often, if not well….yeh
so here's the storyyyy.

The Start of a New Life

The voice started to change until it became nothing but a tiny whisper and then disappeared. She was gone.

I woke up with a start. It was just a dream. Of course it was. I laid back down and cried myself back to sleep.

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but all I do know is that it is going to be a long day tomorrow.

I woke up at 5.57am and laid back down. It was pretty simple. I would rather not eat anything but mashed potato for a month then go to school today.

(AN I don't like mashed potato. Lol)

I couldn't be sure of the outcome of today but I knew something bad would happen. Let's just call it intuition.

But if I wanted to be on time for my first class I would have to start getting ready.

As usual, when I got down stairs there was a note saying Charlie had gone to work. State the obvious much.

(AN wow that's two author notes in one paragraph…..I know Bella seems like a whiny, cocky, jerk arsed kid blah dee blah blah. But imagine losing your BEST and ONLY friend in the world. Then having to go to school. You'd be arrogant too)

I went up to go shower and get ready, just letting the water run over my skin for what seemed like eternity. It was one of the most peaceful few minutes I've had for over a month. The water soon turned cold though so I hurried out, slipping on the way to my room and steadying myself on the door frame.

I got dressed in a pair of gray skinny leg jeans, a black Ed Hardy long sleeve shirt and a dark blue hoodie. I pulled on my pair of all too worn out converse and went down to leave. I was going to get some breakfast but realised I couldn't eat anything. I knew I'd probably end up gagging it up and down the toilet at school (AN she's not bulimic, it's just stating she wouldn't be able to hold any food down.) so I just grabbed my bag and headed out the front door, placing the key under the pot plant.

Suddenly I got this eerie feeling as if someone was watching me. I couldn't shake it so I ran around to the side of the house, looking for some sign of transportation. I saw my old skateboard lying in the middle of a bush and figured Why not?

I checked the bearings and wheels and was shocked to see how rusty they'd gotten. Oh well, I'll just have to walk.

And look at that, it just started raining. I felt like I needed to cry but I fought back the tears and made myself strong for whatever the day threw at me.

Alice *POV* (she still has…visions sorta I guess)

Getting ready for school was hectic. I kept getting these brief flashes of something but whenever I concentrated on them they just disappeared. But they all revolved around one girl. Bella Swan was coming back today, and I felt terrible for what she had to go through. I could tell she was not going to be very pleased today at how much attention she would bring herself. For the past two weeks people have been wondering when she would get back.

Not that they cared about her, they just always wanted some new gossip to chew with. The guys were going to try and appease Bella by inviting her out to dinner and somewhat, while the girls had other plans.

There were the few people who would leave Bella be and live her own life. But majority of them all would use this to their advantage. With all the attention and pity she was getting from the guys, Bella was just another chew toy in their game of love.

Maybe I should ask her to sit with us at lunch. I'm sure she wouldn't like to be near Edward though…

It was all around town now, that Edward had been the drunk driver on that night. He was the one who ploughed right into their car. He was the one who ran the red light, not seeing the broken down car in the middle. He was the one who took away an innocent young life-and caused Bella all this pain. I couldn't help the anger and disappointment for my brother affect me while I made breakfast.

And what does he do when he learns what happened? He goes running to his little skanky play mates for comfort, saying he can't live with himself.

Phht, yeah right.

Sometimes, I hate my brother.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear I thought to myself as I heard his uncanny footsteps in the hall just outside the kitchen

"Good morning sister dear." He greeted me while getting the cereal out of the top cupboard

I just nodded at him and carried on eating my breakfast

He noticed something was up and came around to hug me but I efficiently moved out of the way. He scowled at me and turned back around to get the milk.

"Oh come on, Alice! It's not like I did it on purpose. I didn't want to do this to anybody. C'mon sis, just lighten up. I'll sit somewhere else at lunch-with Tanya- if it helps."

He sounded pretty sincere…
I thought about it for awhile, "And don't you dare go near her either. She's already going to hate you. I don't need her hating me either."

"Why would you care if she hates you or not? Besides I can't not go near her. She's my lab partner in biology remember? I can't skip class or…something…" The glare I sent him shut him up.

Everyone knew I was a fun, happy bouncy little 'pixie' as my older brother Emmett put's it. But everyone also knows that you do not want to mess with me. End of story.

My eye sight started going blurry and I put a hand up to silence my annoying brother as the vision rolled to the front of my head, covering my eyes. It was Bella. She was walking down the road towards school, in the rain. A car beeped its horn at her and she screamed and ran into some trees. Sitting down she started crying uncontrollably. The vision would happen in 15 minutes.

I'd have to go comfort her.

Even if I didn't know this girl, I knew we would become good friends. Inseparable. So you can imagine how it pained me to see her in so much distress.
I quickly gulped down the remaining eggs on my plate and grabbed my bag. Edward looked up startled by my sudden jumpiness and quickly stood up following me around the house while I searched for my keys.

"Alice? What's going on? What did you see?" He kept repeating these questions but I couldn't answer. I just needed to get out and see that Bella was okay.

I finally found the keys I was looking for, grabbed my shoes and hurried out the door. Now if I can just find Bella, everything will be fine. I started my car (a 1975 Ford Mustang Cobra II with yellow stripes down the black paint. Sigh.) and drove down the road towards Bella's house. I had 3 minutes.

I looked into my rear view mirror to see Jessica Stanley, one of Edwards little pet birds, honking her horn at me. Over taking me, she flipped up her hand in a sign of rudeness.

"Hi to you too, darling." I murmured to myself. I only just then realised where I was. I slowed down to a near stop, causing one car behind me to slow down as well. The driver seemed pretty calm, considering I just stopped in the middle of a street without any warning at all. I looked out the mirror and grimaced. Of course the driver was understanding. He understood. I yelled out my window, knowing he would hear me, to Edward telling him to go home. He told me he was staying with me.

I internally groaned. This would not help.

I remembered where I was and why I was here just in time to see Jessica Stanley blare her horn at Bella.

Bella *POV*

I was about 2.5 miles away from school (AN I know in the book it says something like she only lives 2 miles away but, this is my story. What I say goes :P) and I was soaked to the bone. I considered just skipping school and heading back home but Charlie would surely find out and I didn't want to put any more burdens on his shoulders. I was passing a quiet intersection when I heard some faint shouts. Confused I turned around. I didn't realise I was standing on the curb until I heard a horn blare at me and I was frozen in shock for a split second before finally losing it and screaming. I ran into the nearest bush and sat down. I can't live like this, I though to myself, I can't keep living in fear.

I pulled my knees to my chest and started crying. Hard, loud sobs that hurt in my throat. I suddenly felt a pair of hands around my shoulders rubbing soothing circles on my back. I had no idea who this stranger was, but I didn't care. I just sat there and cried for what seemed like hours (20 mins) just being held by this stranger. I then heard her musical voice and I was sure she was my guardian angel, or somewhat.
"Bella. My name is Alice. You don't know me, but I'm going to help you pull through this, ok?" I had no idea who this Alice was, but I knew when she said she'd help me, she meant it. But I didn't know if I could let her into my life. Especially now.

I couldn't work up the courage to say anything so I just got up and started walking towards the school. Until I bumped into something.

"Sorry." I murmured.

Looking up I was met by a pair of incredible piercing green eyes. Blushing I looked down and tried to walk around him. It took me a few moments to put a name to those eyes, until I finally realised who he was. Standing straighter and keeping my eyes on the ground I stepped around him and walked as far away as I could from Edward Cullen.

Edward had tormented Sarah and I for the past 3 years, non-stop. Always thinking, because we didn't drop and drool at his feet like all the other bimbo's in the school, we weren't normal; Edward made our already displeasing school life, a bit more fun.

Then I remembered the stranger in the bush. Alice, her name was. Was she Alice Cullen? She must've been. Why else would Edward be here? He wouldn't be caught dead driving around the 'scumbags' homes. Scumbags meaning people like me.

"Bells wait! I need to talk to you." He called out to me. Why would he talk to me?

I turned around and walked up to him. "Don't call me Bells." I spat in his face, before marching towards the school.

And bang goes the dynamite.

I got that off family guy. Lol

Ok this is just really a …filler chapter I guess you'd call it. I wanted to do the whole school/lunch scene in its own chapter.

Oh yeh, Bella doesn't know that Edward was the driver. Also he may seem like a selfish, arrogant, sex obsessed jerk in this chapter coming from Alice. But he kinda is.

So please please pleaseeeeeeeee review!!!

I'll bake you a cake :)

PS. Check out Gaspard Ulliel on images. I swear you won't be disappointed ;)

He is what I call Edward Cullen ;)
