Puppets

The New Girl

I love the smell of desperation and zit cream it the morning! Ha anyway I just got to Forks High School. As soon as I got off my bike, all eyes were on me. I ignored the looks I was getting and made my way to the office.

Along the way I heard murmurs from my fellow student body. They were mainly all the same annoying questions: 'Who is she? I wonder if she's single, do you think she'd date me? Is she another Cullen?' Okay that last one was a little unexpected.

Who are the Cullens? Did they have something to do with the strange feelings I've been having ever since I got to this town? I shrugged it off and continued to the office.

"Hello I'm Isabella Swan. I'm the new student," I tell the woman sitting behind a large desk. She took one look at me and nearly fainted, typical. I cleared my throat loudly to get her out of her daze.

After what seemed like hours the woman blushed and quickly handed me the papers I would need to begin my life as the average teenager attending high school. Well, as average as I could possibly be. I said thank you and started into the now crowded halls.

Okay seriously, what's up with the Cullens? I just passed a group of guys and all they were saying was 'Hey look! It's a new Cullen. I wonder which one she's hooked up with' 'I don't know man but she is hot!' I looked up to see which one had said that.

A guy with short blond hair and a boyish face was staring at me with lust-filled eyes. Ew that's just gross. 'Mike she's looking at you!' Mike grinned and made his way over to me. Oh great.

"Hey there, I'm Mike Newton, and you are..?"

"About to shove my knee up your ass if you get any closer to me," I growled. Did he just smile at me! God what an idiot.

"So anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to go see a movie with me this weekend. There's this one new romantic comedy with Adam Sandler in it," Mike said to me with a hopeful expression on his pathetic face. I looked at him like he was a plague.

I don't know what's worse: going to see a romantic comedy or that I would be seeing it with him. I blanched at the thought and shoved past the guy. "Ok well maybe some other time!" This could get annoying.

I made my way to my first class. English. English is one of my best subjects because I love to read. Especially books on vampires.

It's always fun to see what kind of false presumptions people make about us. I mean really; holy water, garlic, and bats? Bats are probably my favorite. Do people seriously think that someone can transform into a bat? That's just ridiculous.

Okay I'm getting distracted. I hear the tardy bell ringing as I open the door to my classroom. Wow I'm late to class on my first day, must be a new record.

All eyes are on me and I can hear some gasps emanating from the whole class. Apparently they've never seen a supermodel before. The man behind the desk in from of the room cleared his throat. The whispers came to a halt immediately.

"Class this is your new classmate, Isabella Swan." The whispers picked up again as I made my way to the back of the classroom.

The only desk available was next to a huge guy with short curly hair. At first he didn't say anything, but then his voice boomed, "Welcome to Forks High School! I'm Emmett Cullen and I'll be your source of humor in this boring place!"

I could tell right away that Emmett was a guy who kicked ass on a regular basis but has a way with making people laugh. I liked him already. "I'm Bella and I can be your source of entertainment if the price is right," I say wiggling my eyebrows suggestively. He howled with laughter that got looks from everyone including the teacher. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Miss Swan I do not tolerate such behavior in my classroom. But since this is your first day I'll let this be a warning to you. As for you Mr. Cullen, I expect more from you. You have detention." He then turned back to the board and continued his lesson on Shakespeare.

I looked to my partner in crime to see him holding in laughter. We talked quietly the rest of the time. I learned that he was a member of the Cullen clan: a family of vegetarian vampires that lived on the outskirts of Forks. There were seven of them and they were all very close.

"They're my brothers and sisters, I'd do anything for them," he confessed, "and Carlisle and Esme are my parents. We look after each other. Hey you should meet them! Sit with us at lunch."

The bell rang signaling the end of class. Emmett and I walked out of the room together. We were laughing and cutting up when a tall blonde stopped in front of us. She had an icy glare that send a shiver down my spine. I heard Emmett curse under his breath.

"Uh Bella this is Rosalie, Rosalie this is Bella," he murmured looking embarrassed. Rosalie fumed at the sight of me. She dragged Emmett away from me. He sent me back an apologetic smile and waved. I waved back and went my own way.

My next two classes went by rather fast. I got the same looks and whispers as I had gotten earlier. This was getting to be annoying.

The only people who were nice to me were a girl named Angela and her boyfriend Eric, fan boy Mike, and Jessica. Jessica wasn't too happy about Mike's apparent crush on me, but she has nothing to worry about. My type is sexy with more boobs and less dick, if you get what I'm saying.

I get to the lunchroom and observe the student body. Angela, Eric, Mike…no Emmett. Huh, I really wanted to meet his family of non-human eating vampires. There's not that many of us around.

Then, I felt a chill go down my spine, much like the one I felt only a few days ago. Whoever is coming must be pretty special. The door opened and what I saw at that moment changed my entire life forever.
