A/N: I have one thing to say; you guys are AWESOME!!! :D Seriously I was freaking out when I saw how many people read my story! Thanks to all my reviewers!!!!! I couldn't stop smiling; my sister thought I was crazy. :D I also wanted to say that I'm so sorry for the wait. I know; I suck. :( Forgive me, I suck with deadlines and time management.

Disclaimer: shouldn't the word be enough?

BPOV

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Ugh! What is that annoying sound?

Beep. Beep. Beep.

That's when it dawns on me; eww, it's my alarm clock. I swear whoever invented the alarm clock should be so proud of knowing that they are the reason why people hate mornings. Sigh. Time for school; it's a new day, and anything can happen.

Yay.

Getting out of bed, well more like getting tangled in the covers and falling out of it, walking into the bathroom, turning on the shower, I realize that we have no warm water.

"So much for a great new start," I mumbled to myself.

Fifteen minutes (and after a freezing shower)

Looking in the mirror, I realize something that I have always known, but it still brings a frown upon my face; I'm plain. I'm an average height of 5'5"; I have a pale skin complexion, dull, boring brown hair, and big mud-brown eyes. Also my lips are unbalanced and too big. No wonder why I don't have a boyfriend.

"There's always Mike Newton," I mumbled giving out a dark chuckle. "Yeah, so not going to happen."

Walking into my room, I throw on jeans and a blue sweater knowing it is going to be cold today, but then again, when isn't it? This is Forks, Washington we are talking about here, the land of cold and rain.

My mom and dad used to live here together: emphasis on the used to part. My mom and dad married when they just got out of high school, and then about 10 months later I was born. My mom and dad used to be a couple in love. They were the two people you see on the sidewalk swinging their intertwined hands in between them gazing lovingly at each other. Nothing could come in between them.

That is, except Phil.

Apparently my "mom", Renee, had been seeing Phil right before my dad and she got married. I mean come on! She was just about to get married and she cheats on my dad! So, anyway, as soon as my dad, Charlie, found out (I was having my first birthday party when he found out. I mean really, at my birthday party?), he pretty much kicked Renee out of the house. The only interaction we have with her is through a check in the mail. Other than that, we leave Renee and Phil alone in Phoenix, Arizona. Talk about the polar opposite of Forks.

Exhaling and shaking my head slowly, I glance at my alarm clock. My eyes go as big as saucers and I feel the color (well, whatever color I have) drain from my face. The neon red numbers just sit there mocking me.

6:55 am. (I don't know when school starts in Forks, but here on the Eastern shore of the U.S, high school starts at 7:10 am)

"Crap." I quickly stumble down the stairs, throw on my shoes and jacket, grab my keys and a breakfast bar and run out the door. I have one thing to say; thank God that school is only five minutes away, even in my rusted, old-clunker of a truck which can't go faster than 60mph. But I love my truck, it's got character. I quickly pull into the school's parking lot, turn off my truck, and run inside when I see the last couple of stragglers entering the building.

When I come bursting through the door of my homeroom everyone turned to look at me. I must look a mess. I can just tell that my hair is all over the place from my running, my cheeks and nose red from the cold (and from my blushing), and my breathing pattern all over the place. Keeping my head down; I race to my seat. As soon as I slump down in my seat, the bell rings.

"Shew" I said wiping invisible sweat from my brow.

Lunch

Ah, lunch, the only period where the whole gang is together. Buying only lemonade and a pretzel, I rushed over to my lunch table. Here sat the 5 most awesome people you could ever meet. First, we have a little pixie like girl with black spiky hair, green eyes, and a bright smile who goes by the name of Alice Cullen. A guy who was latched onto Alice's arm with blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, and a small smile who belongs to none other than Japer Hale. Next we have Rosalie Hale; a girl who looks like she just walked out of the front cover of Victoria's Secret with long blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, and a smile. Sitting next to her was a guy who looks like a giant bear; he has curly, brown hair, brown eyes, and HUGE muscles; anyone would be intimidated by him, that is, until they see the goofy grin on his face. Who is the giant teddy bear? Emmett Cullen. Finally, but most definitely not least, we have Edward Cullen – or should I say Adonis, my own personal Greek God? But then again, he's not mine. I just can look at his bronze hair that makes him look like he just rolled out of bed, or his piercing green eyes that seem like they can peer into your soul, or listen to his velvet like voice, or stare at his perfect lopsided grin, or . . . Oh god Bella, snap out of it. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I take a seat next to Edward.

Looking around the table I see everyone being entertained by one another. Alice and Rose were talking very animatedly about some sale at the mall. Note to self; stay far away. Jasper and Edward were listening intently to Emmett tell some crazy joke. Shocker. At the punch line, all three of them burst out laughing; Jasper with his quiet chuckle, Emmett with his booming laugh, and Edward with his amazing laugh that can only be from a god.

To this day, I still can not come up with a reason as to why they are friends with me. I mean they are all beautiful inside and out. I'm plain and boring. Speaking of which, I still can't believe that we have been friends for 13 years. Thank god all of our parents took us to the same daycare.

Gym

Gym: my worst subject. It also doesn't help that I'm a major klutz. In this class there is myself (duh), Alice; my best friend, Angela; the nicest girl you'll meet, Ben; and okay guy who is also Angela's boyfriend, Jessica; the gossip queen of the school, Mike; the guy who follows me around like a lost puppy and the guy who Jessica likes, and Lauren; the school slu-excuse me, strumpet. We were running our usual laps as a warm up. Alice was jogging on my right and Angela on my left.

"So, are you ever going to tell Edward that you have a maaaajor crush on him?" Alice questioned me. Yup, Alice and Angela know that I like Edward. They found out one time at a sleep over. Apparently I kept saying Edward's name in my sleep. Over and over again. I tried to change the subject to the English project that is due in a couple days, but failed miserably.

"Come on Bella, just tell him! He deserves to know. I mean, come on, what the worst that could happen." Angela asked me.

"Well let's see. I could tell him that I have had a crush on him for the past, oh I don't know, TWELVE YEARS, he could then proceed to laugh in my face, call me a stalker freak, get a restraining order on me, I would ruin our friendship, and I wouldn't be able to see you guys ever again. Then, Charlie would be soooo disappointed in me, he would disown me, kick me out, and then I would be that one hobo on the street begging for money. Nothing major though." I responded. Angela and Alice gave me that look that just said "Can someone get this girl medication?"

"What? It's a possibility." I said trying to "save" myself.

"Yeah. Almost as possible as Hell freezing over." Alice retorted.

Ugh, Angela and Alice both had the look on their face that just said that they weren't going to give up.

Giving out a sigh I responded; "Fine. I'll tell him after school."

Alice started to jump up and down while clapping while Angela just beamed at me. Angela was about to say something, but the announcements cut her off.

When the announcements cackled on, everyone stopped what they are doing and the color drained from all of their faces and their eyes almost bugged out of their heads when they heard what it said.

"Attention, attention, this is code orange lock down, and this is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill." The principle said in a panicky voice.

What happened next was almost as if it were in a trance. Everything happened in slow motion; Coach Clapp scramble towards the gym door while pulling out the keys for it, the keys slip through his fingers and land with a soft jingle on the ground, everyone running around screaming, and me, turning to look out the gym door to see a black figure sprinting towards us. There is only one thing I know for sure.

We were too late.

A/N: DUN! DUN! DUUUH! The plot thickens!!!! I liked the way the ending turned out. How about you? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!! *Blushes and looks down sheepishly* Sorry, I just like it when people review.

FYI: Edward and Alice are twins, and their real parents are Esme and Carlisle. Jasper and Rosalie are also twins, but were adopted by Esme and Carlisle. Jasper's and Rosalie's parents also lived in Forks when they died. The same thing happened to Emmett. Bella, well Bella is just Bella; an only child living with Charlie. Also Bella is a sophomore along with Edward and Alice. Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett are juniors.

Review please (I said please this time) :D
