DISCLAIMER SM OWNS EVERYTHING.

CHAPTER ONE

Bella Swan looked up at the huge building in front of her and gripped her school bag tightly, her main goal was to get through the rest of high school by being invisible and graduating early with a scholarship to any college. She knew her second hand clothes and patchy sneakers didn't cut it in this new school where image was everything and money ruled the hallways.

Her old rusty truck stood out like a sore thumb among the bmws, covertibles, ferraris and hilux vans, deciding that it didn't matter to her and that all she really cared about was getting the hell out of this place and far away.

She grew up with little and struggled by the time she reached five years, learning how to cook and feed herself. While other kids played with their toys Belaa found best friends in books. she was a lonely child but she like it better that way. The year she turned ten, the beatings started if she couldn't get dinner on time or couldn't get the house clean enough for her dead beat dad who blamed her for everything that went wrong.

Now she was in her teens and about to start a new year at a new school. She stepped in the building and made her way towards the school's office, where she was given her schedule and pitiful looks. The secetary gfave her a sad look smile and then escorted her to her first class which was Biology.

Great she thought with a level of sarcasm, some one sure loved torturing the students with this subject. She entered the classroom and gave the teacher her slip and then was instructed to take a seat.

''Listen her Becca, turn your assignments on time, your partner is not negotiable and if you're late to my class dont bother coming at all.'' the biology teacher said to her. She droppped her head and spoke in a tiny voice.

''Yes sir.'' she hurried off to the assigned seating. She didnt even notice the guy staring at her. She didnt even notice that he couldnt take his eyes off her.

Edward stared at the new girl and cleared his throat and the girl looked up and he swore his heart skipped a beat, her eyes were a stormy grey and that was filled with sadness. He wanted to take her into his arms and sheild her from the world.

''Hi.'' he whispered. ''Mr. Mason is an asshole. so don't take it to heart okay.'' he said to her and she blushed an nodded.

''I'm Bella.'' she said and bit her lips. Edward had to restrain himself from pressing himself against her and kissing her. why was he so attracted to her. Bella couldn't understand why he was talking to her. Nobody talked to her. maybe he felt sorry for her and thats why he spoke to her, she thought. but she had never seen anyone so handsome before. He looked as if he belonged in a magazine with his honey colored eyes and copper coloured hair. His jaw was defined and his skin paler than hers, his long lashes rested upon his cheeks anytime he blinked and he kept sucking in his lower lips into his mouth. She wanted to kiss him. She wondered what it would be like if he kissed her.

''Cullen, pay attention'' Mr Mason barked. Edward rolled his eyes and grinned at Bella.

She blushed and he whispered towards her. ''Asshole remember and why didn't you correct him on your name.''

''It didn't bother me.'' she whispered back and he held her gaze for a long time and began packing up his stuff before the bell rang. ''See ya later Bella.'' he said and then sauntered off.

''Do you know who that is?'' A girl with fried blonde hair and a fake tan spoke to her. ''Thats Edward Cullen, the most popular guy in school and the best football player in the state, he is being scouted by colleges all over the place.''

Bella said nothing and swallowed. ''Now you listen to me Becca stay away from Edward okay.''
