Chapter Two: First Sight

Beep…Beep…Beep…BANG!

I smashed my alarm clock with my fist and slowly stood up. I got a nice hot shower, washing my hair with my new vanilla-cherry shampoo/conditioner. I went down stairs and put a few pop tarts in the toaster oven.

"Good god, Rory. Why does school have to start in the morning?" she whined putting her head on the table and groaning. "Go back to bed, mom. I have to go early to get my schedule and locker," I explained kissing her forehead.

"Take the jeep. It's yours. I've been given the funds for a new car," she explained tossing the jeep keys in my direction. "Thanks mom!" I exclaimed throwing my arms around her and running out the door.

Forks High wasn't hard to miss. The sign was huge and could be seen through the trees. I parked my jeep in the student parking and walked through the doors. Students looked at me, whispering. Of course in a small town like this, everyone knew everyone's business; except mine. I was the new girl who pretty much just came out of the blue.

Finding the front office was easy thanks to a baby-faced, blonde haired boy who seemed more then eager to help me. "I'm Mike. Mike Newton," he said quietly. "My name is Rory Gilmore," I said grimacing at his lust filled eyes.

Once I arrived to the office the red-haired woman looked up and smiled warmly.

"Hello, I'm Rory Gilmore. It's my first day," I said warmly, smiling even though I was still half-asleep. "Oh, I have Lorelai Gilmore," she said in a quiet tone. I smiled and said, "that's me but everyone calls me Rory".

The woman began digging around her desk for papers. She pulled out three papers and handed them too me. "Okay, here is your schedule, a map of the scholl and a form you must get filled out by each of your teachers. That one you will pass in at the end of the day, any questions, dear?" she had a very friendly and dull voice.

"No questions, thank you," I said politely stepping away to let the next student talk to her. I stepped away from the office and studied my schedule. When I had it memorized I walked to my first class, English.

I arrived to the class just as the bell rang. Mike eagerly sat beside me and flashed me a grin with his crooked teeth and pale, watery blue eyes. The teacher Mr. Doiron walked in and grabbed my paper. "Welcome to grade eleven English at Forks High. I'm just going to run upstairs and grab the reading list for you," he said stepping to the front of the class and grabbing a piece of paper. He handed it to me and it read:

Romeo and Juliet

Wuthering Heights

Julius Caesar

Tale of Two Cities

Hamlet

The Oddessy

I raised my hand and quietly whispered, "I already read all of these books". The entire class looked at me and the teacher laughed. "Fine, I want a one page report on all six of these books," the teacher assigned walking to the front of the class to begin his lecture.

In Geography we talked about the way to prevent viruses using maps and statistics. The teacher was a quiet woman called Ms. Golding who didn't even know I was a new student until I asked for her to sign my paper.

"Oh, dear me! I'm sorry. I didn't even notice you. Let me sign your paper," she said grabbing my paper slowly and signing it.

My next few classes were Family Studies and Technology and You. At lunch time I had not only one noble stalker but three! First was Mike from English, Erik York from Family Studies and Andrew Pollings from Technology and You.

I also sat with Angela Webber, she was nice and Jessica Stanley, who was a but nice. I ordered a slice of pizza and some soda. I couldn't really eat much, nerves were getting the better of me. That;s when I noticed them walking into the cafeteria. They were five of the most perfect looking people I've ever met in my life. They were all incredibly pale and beautiful. They walked with such astonishing grace that I instantly envied them, just a bit.

"Who are they?" I asked looking at them. Jessica laughed and said, "Those are Dr. Cullen and his wife's adopted children. They are like, together! She grimaced like it was the most horrific thing she'd ever heard.

"That big, muscled one is Emmett. He's with the blonde one, Rosalie. The blonde boy who looks like he's in pain is Jasper and he's with the pixie girl, Alice," she said quietly. The one who had my attention was the bronze haired god. "Who is he?" I asked quietly.

"That, is Edward Cullen. He's perfect of course but he doesn't date. Nobody here is good enough for him," she sneered. Someone's been rejected, I thought to myself.

After lunch I had biology. I went into the classroom and noticed Edward Cullen sitting there. I sat beside him and watched him instantly tense. He was gripping the desk with such a grip that it looked ready to snap in his hand if that was possible. He glared at me with such intensity that I couldn't help squirm in my seat.

"Hi, babe!" Mike purred sitting in front of my. Hi loser, I thought to myself. "Hi Mike," I growled.

When the teacher finally called us to attention I was so grateful. However it was still awkward having Edward glare at me for no reason.

As soon as the bell rang, Edward left the room quicker then any human should be able to move.

With gym class next I was petrified until the teacher coach clapp mentioned that I wouldn't have to participate today. All I could think about was Edward and how upset I was that he hated me so much. Rory, he doesn't hate you. I thought to myself.

After school when I went to drop off my form I heard Edward begging to get out of Biology. As soon as he noticed me he thanked the secretary and stormed out of the room. I stomped out to my jeep and did my best not to let the angry tears fall.

Next chapter, Edward talks to Rory but not about the same things as they did in Twilight. HINT Rory's father died last year on her sixteenth birthday and much more…
