Still don't own a thing. And sorry I know this chapter may not be super exciting BUT it is necessary to set up the rest of the plotlines.

-50 years later-

"Bella! You are NOT wearing that outfit! No, I can't even call it an outfit," Molly sighed, "Come here and I'll help you get ready."

Bella rolled her eyes. 50 years of living with Molly had offered very little change to her daily life. It had taken a while for the two girls to become friends but over the years they had finally become closer. Now they were adoptive sisters and went by the surname Armstrong. Molly had filled the gap that Alice had left in her life. She was the one who really seemed to understand what she was going through and for that Bella was thankful. The only difference being of course that Molly hadn't left her. She owed Molly everything. She had finally started to find some peace in her existence and was dealing with everything that had happened.

Molly shoved a pair of gray jeans and a dark blue scooped neck at Bella. As Bella changed she rummaged through the closet searching for a pair of black boots and a matching purse to complete her outfit. Bella came out of the washroom and sat down in the chair the Molly always made her sit in while she was doing her hair. She curled Bella's hair and let it fall in sleek, glossy curls down her back.

"Alright? Can we go to school now?" Bella asked exasperatedly.

"One second," Molly replied, "I just have to finish your make-up."

A few minutes later, Molly stepped back appraising her work, "All right. Now we can go. You look positively perfect."

"Yes, and you know I just have to look amazing for the boys at school," Bella muttered sarcastically.

"It's always good to make positive first impressions. We need things to work out for us here. All right? This is out first day at this school so please just give it a shot," Molly practically begged.

"Alright, anything for you Molls," Bella smiled, "I'll be nice to all the Mike Newton's I meet."

"Mike Newton?" Molly asked, one eyebrow raised.

"Remember? The golden retriever?" Bella asked.

"Oh! Right, the one that...." Molly started.

"That Edward hated with a passion," Bella continued.

"Bells," Molly said, shaking her head.

"Don't worry. I'm fine. No psychotic breakdown at this school when I think I see him. I promise," Bella said.

"I was bored of that town anyway. Who wants to eat small animals all the time? I was dying for an irritable grizzly," Molly laughed, "But are you sure you are okay? We can always wait a few more days before starting school."

"No, I'm fine. The sooner we get started in school, the sooner I can get my mind off of everything," Bella answered, "You'd think after 50 years I would have gotten over my issues."

"Bella, I'm really proud of how you've been handling everything lately. You've really come a long way and Uhm.... I'm glad that we're really sisters now," Molly said, giving her a hug.

"Thanks," Bella smiled, "Now can we please get going already. We're going to be late."

"Not if I'm driving," Molly smirked, pulling her keys out of her pocket.

When the two girls got to school they headed to the main office. Heads turned all down the hallway as Molly and Bella passed by hoards of hormonal boys. One infuriatingly squeezed himself in between Molly and Bella, linking arms with them. Bella rolled her eyes as he started to jabber away.

"Hey, I'm Dustin!" the boy said happily, "You two must be the new girls. The Armstrong's right?"

Molly just nodded and gave him half a smile.

"If there is anything you need- anything at all just ask me. Lunch date, shoulder to cry on, private tutor- I'm there," he rhymed off.

"Well that's just so helpful, but I think we're fine for now," Molly said, dazzling him with her molten gold eyes.

He sputtered and mumbled, "Yea...okay."

Pulling Bella more quickly down the hall she whispered in her ear, "Why wasn't he afraid of us?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's just that clueless," Bella replied, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well hopefully he isn't TOO friendly," Molly muttered, "That could be problematic."

Bella just nodded as they entered the main office. Molly went to talk to secretary and get the schedules as Bella just looked around through the window. Nothing was really interesting about this school. The gray walls were monotonous, only broken up by the occasional bulletin board.

As she stood there something strange happened. She could have sworn that she smelt vampire- no. five vampires. She shook her head, trying to clear it. This wasn't happening! No not again. This is just like what happened last time. She was having one of her vivid hallucinations again. The Cullens' were not here. It was just her imagination going into overdrive. She tried to focus on something else- anything that would clear her head. Molly walked over and handed her, her schedule. Bella looked down; this school was semestered so she only had Gym, Photography, Biology and English. She was entering this school as a junior as usual and Molly as a senior. She sighed as she realized that she had to take biology, now her least favourite subject.

Molly looked at her eyes, "Bella? Everything okay?"

Bella just sighed, "Don't worry. I'm fine. Let's go."

Molly gave Bella a hug before leaving her to find her first class, "Have a good day okay. Look for me at lunch. Everything will be just fine."

Molly and Bella parted. Bella sighed as she changed for gym, all the other girls glaring at her perfect body. They were playing volleyball and Bella rolled her eyes at the short shorts her teacher had made her put on. For once Bella wasn't spastic when playing a sport. She actually played with ease and grace, something else for the girls to hate about her. She couldn't help but feel the eyes of all the guys in the other gym class on her.

She couldn't wait for this day to end, as she finished both her gym and photography classes that had proved very uneventful. Going to sit in biology class she had a chill run up her spine. This was the class that had started it all. As she opened the door she was hit with the smell of vampire. She gasped as she saw who was sitting beside the only empty seat in her class...

Yes, I realize you're all probably thinking :O omg it's edward! but i'm just gunna tell you right now that the vampire in there is NOT I repeat NOT Edward. Reviews please! Next chapter will be up by the end of the weekend, maybe later today if I'm fast.
