Chapter 1
(Isabella's POV)

Starting off right in the middle of the school year is very bad. It is probably every human teenage girl's worst nightmare – Right next to getting a pimple and falling down the social ladder. In fact, it probably can't get any worse…

No, it turns out that can get worse – much worse. Imagine starting school in the middle of the school year in a small rainy town with the population of approximately 300 all whilst being the main topic of conversation.

It turns out that Charlie does not understand the importance of blending in. No, instead he's cooked up the biggest batch of lies that he's probably ever cooked up and he's most definitely blown everything out of the water and way out of proportion. I wouldn't be surprised if there were rumours of me being a mob boss's step daughter on the run from a hit or a super model/actress that is doing research for her next film somewhere in the rumour mill. Charlie seems to find great humour in informing me of all of the rumours spinning around after being spotted in town by the local humans during the past week. In fact, he finds it so ever amusing. I wonder what he did for entertainment before I came…

So when I arrived at Forks High on Monday morning, the only thing that I wanted to do was go back home, jump into bed and go into hibernation.

Over the past week, I'd managed to get into a habit of sleeping in and I was in no mood to change my sleeping schedule. If I found my Jasper here at this specific school, I'd be sure to inform him that he owed me a whole hell of a lot of sleep… as well as some extra payback for throwing myself into a human high school, to be touched and watched by humans.

Stop being such a wuss. You've killed vampires, werewolves, demons - you've even survived falling from heaven… and this is what you're scared of? A small high school filled with teenage humans?

It's so nice to know that even my subconscious loves me so much.

It turns out that even in my human form, I seem to stand out. Sometimes I wish that my human form came with plainer qualities. My inhuman beauty seems to draw just as much attention as my wings and halo does! So what's the point?

Charlie cooked up some big lie about how I was his long lost daughter from Florida. Riiight. There are just two flaws in that story that Charlie didn't seem to realise as he cooked up this big batch of lies. A. I don't really share any features with Charlie - aside from the fact that both of our hair is dark brown. Well actually, I do kind of, if you tilt your head to the side, whilst doing a handstand and closing one eye at the same time. B. Typically, when you live in the sun for most of your life, you're meant to get a tan of some sort. It's too bad that I can't tan.

Finding Forks High School hadn't been all that hard. Looking at the school, it was rather unbelievable. It looked next to nothing like those typical high schools in those movies that Charlie had told me to watch to help me get a feel for what High School would be like. I nearly passed the school as well! Had it not been for the sign, I probably would have gotten lost. It looked like a stack of houses built next to each other with maroon bricks, trees, shrubbery… nothing big. Where were the chain-link fences? What about the metal detectors? And the cheerleaders that are supposed to be complete and total bitches to everyone who doesn't fit in? Surely they would at the very least have the security guards?

Inside the school office it was warm enough. The room did feel a bit claustrophobic, but everything on Earth felt claustrophobic to me, because I was so used to being free in Heaven where the air pressure was completely and totally different. The ghastly yellow waiting area with padded folding chairs felt too cheery and the orange commercial carpet didn't do wonders on the eyes either. Notices and awards were fighting for dominance on all of the walls as the big clock ticked loudly. Plants seem to reach out to me, begging to be touched.

The room had been sliced in half by a long counter which was overflowing with wire baskets and random clusters of paper. There were three desks behind the counter. One was manned by a large, red haired woman wearing glasses. She was also wearing a bright purple shirt that instantly made me feel as though I had dressed for the wrong occasion.

The red-haired woman peered beneath her glasses. "Can I help you, miss?"

"I'm Isabella… Swan?" I asked uncertainly. The immediate awareness lit up in her eyes. Great. I had hoped that the rumour mill hadn't reached Forks High School, turns out that my hopes were in vain and I was wrong.

"Of course," she said. She began shuffling through the only neat pile of documents on her desk until she found whatever it was she had been searching for. "I have a schedule right here, as well as a map of the school." She brought several sheets to the counter to show me.

She went through my timetable for the day, highlighting the best route to each class with a strange looking purple highlighter. She also gave me a slip to have each teacher sign, after informing me that I was to bring back the sheet at the end of the day. Remind me what the point of that was? I'm here, aren't I?

When I returned to the student car park, other students had started to arrive. I began to follow the student crowd into the school. I kept my face pulled back into my hood as I crowded with teenagers. Thankfully, Charlie was a lot better at clothing than he was at keeping my transition into town as quiet as possible. The last thing that I needed right now was to have a bunch of humans pointing and whispering in awe when I'm trying to blend. Curse you Jasper for choosing a high school to be hiding out it. If he had to go to school, couldn't he have chosen a college in a large city?

The cafeteria was rather plain with stacks of desks and tables, there was nothing that really stood out.

Once I entered the cafeteria, I almost immediately noticed a black '3' painted on a white square on the east corner. Really? The lady at the office had made it sound so difficult. I had anticipated that there'd be some trick into getting in the classrooms… turns out that there was none.

The classroom was small. The two people in front of me stopped just inside the door to hang up their coats on a long row of hooks. I copied them. It turns out that blending in is harder than I thought. There were two girls; one a porcelain-colored blonde, the other looked quite similar minus the fact that she had light brown hair. Both girls brought a weird taste to my mouth – an instant sign that they had been touched by evil in some way or the other. But considering their age and where they live, I would assume that it had more to do with the way that they treated those around them; the blonde more so than the brunette.

I took the slip up to the teacher – a middle aged balding man who had introduced himself as Mr Mason. He gawked at me when he saw my name as his heart began to race the second he looked up – good job Charlie – and I flushed tomato red. At least he didn't make me go to the trouble of introducing myself to the class.

Before the class, I would have never known that humans could stare at me whilst I was behind them. I stand corrected. I faded out of the class as I tried to see if I could feel any pull towards my Jasper. Nothing. Ever since we fell, I haven't been able to feel anything, which I now know is due to him being bit. We need to see each other again before it comes back to us, but I just thought that I would check. I sighed sadly in wistfulness.

When a nasal buzzing sound rang through the classroom, I jumped in surprise as a gangly boy with skin problems and greasy black hair leaned across the aisle to talk to me. As I scanned the classroom I noticed that there was a horrible taste in my mouth and my head was spinning – both of which were signs that evil had somehow touched some of the kids in the classroom.

"You're Isabella Swan, aren't you?" His eyes scanned my face adoringly, like a puppy would look at its owner.

"Bella," I corrected him softly.

"Where's your next class?" The kid asked overexcitedly.

I had to check my schedule before I could answer him. "Uhh... government with Jefferson, in building six."

Eyes met mine every single way I looked.

"Great! I'm heading to building four, I could show you the way… I'm Eric!"

We got out jackets and headed out into the pouring rain.

"So, this is a lot different than Phoenix, huh?"

"Err… very." Okay, so maybe I should have done some research on where I was meant to have lived for the past few years. I've been to so many places that they all start to blend together.

"It doesn't rain much there, does it?"

"I don't think so…?" I definitely needed to do some research on Phoenix… maybe I should take a little holiday to Phoenix sometime soon…

"Wow, what must that be like?" He wondered aloud.

"Sunny."

"You don't look very tan." Okay, think Bella, think… How are you going to get yourself out of this one?

"My mother is… part albino!" I joked.

He studied my face apprehensively and I sighed. It turns out that I'm not a very good liar. Not that I'm very surprised. Jasper used to say that I couldn't lie to save my life.

We walked back around to the cafeteria to the south buildings by the gym. Eric walked me right to the door, despite the fact that I probably would have been able to see which door I was meant to go to.

"Well, good luck," he said as I touched the handle. "Maybe we'll have a few classes together." His eyes sparkled and I noticed that he had crossed his fingers behind his back.

I smiled gently before I went into the classroom. He seemed kind hearted for the most part, but there was always that small undercurrent of evil. (The stronger the taste, the worse kind of person they are)

The remainder of the morning passed in the same fashion - although, I found that I was really intrigued by these humans as well as their studies. My Trigonometry teacher, Mr Varner, who I probably would have hated anyway, was the only one that made me stand in front of the class and introduce myself. I stammered, blushed and tripped over my own boots on my way to my seat. Lord, I hate this form. I feel so off-balance without my wings.

I spent the rest of the class looking at my worksheet in confusion. How did Trigonometry have anything to do with life? I had managed to live over a century in the human world without Trigonometry and I was doing quite well if I was to say so myself.

After two classes, I began to recognise several of the faces in each class. There was always someone braver than the others who would introduce themselves and ask me how I liked Forks. I tried to avoid lying as much as possible, but I was still forced to dish out a dozen lies or so.

One girl sat next to me in both Trig and Spanish, and she even walked with me to the cafeteria for lunch. She was tiny, several inches shorter than my five feet four inches, but her wild curly hair made up a lot of the difference between our heights. I couldn't remember her name, so I smiled and nodded as she talked. She was very kind hearted and I could tell that she was one of those honest to good people that were few and far between. Though, I think I remember hearing that her father was a paster or something?

"… And anyways, Gerard was like so into me and his girlfriend was like so jealous. I mean she was literally going green with smoke coming out of her ears. I mean really, what type of name is…" I didn't even bother to keep up. I wasn't all that interested in gossip and rumours from girls who have nothing better to do than hurt other people. I knew that the only reason that she was probably talking to me was because A. I was beautiful B. I was new, so therefore was getting attention from the majority of the school.

We sat at the end of a full table with several of her friends, who she introduced to me, but I forgot their names as soon as she spoke them. The boy from English, Eric, waved at me from across the room.

It was there, in that claustrophobic lunchroom, trying to make conversation that I first saw them… or rather, it was there that I saw him.

My Jasper.

He was sitting in the corner of the cafeteria at a table as far away from where I sat as possible. He was sitting with four others. None of them were talking and none of them were eating, despite the fact that they each had a tray of untouched food in front of them. None of them were looking at me… but then he looked up. His golden eyes met mine and in that instant, I felt the pull. It was the same pull that had died the moment he had fallen and I almost cried at the familiar feel that I had missed so much. He looked so different… and yet he still looked the same. His golden locks of hair, his facial structure, his pale features. However, his once blue eyes were now a shocking gold. But none of that mattered to me. The only thing that mattered was that he was 'alive' and he was here. I was so worried that Lucifer had gotten to him.

[LESSON ON ANGELS] I should probably tell you all that we can't really die the say way that humans do. When we die, our souls wander and serve the Lord and his army until we are needed once again. But that could be anywhere between a second or hundreds or hundreds or thousands of years or even never! Once we are needed, we are granted our lives back, but we must complete the task that we are needed for before we can continue our lives and let me tell you. The tasks are NEVER small and ALWAYS something that ONLY we can do.

It was then that he broke the eye contact. The short, pixie-like girl with hair as black as night suddenly looked up at my Jasper. He smiled so lovingly at her and for a moment, I had even made myself believe that he only loved her like a sibling. That was until he hugged the girl gently and kissed her softly on the lips. It was then that I felt my heart break. My Jasper was kissing another girl.

He was so happy… without me? If he was happy, should I break this perfect paradise he has? Who gave me the power to do so? Sure, he was my mate, chosen for me by God himself, but loving him as much as I do, can I really pull him away from something that he clearly loves for someone that he does not even remember right now? What if he is happier here as a vampire than he was as an angel? He was kicked out of heaven because of a frame job after all. Is it really up to me to make that decision?

From where I sat, I saw Jasper hugging the girl to his chest, murmuring sweet nothings that brought a happy smile to the girl's face. Maybe it was best that I didn't intrude. He seemed so happy. All of them looked so happy.

I remembered the last memory I had of Jasper – when he'd fallen out of heaven. His eyes had filled with pain as he'd looked up at me. The fire that had once burned deeply in his eyes had died out. Tears threaten to spill as I begged for anything… anything but losing my Jasper, screaming that he was innocent. But no one listened as Jasper continued to look up at me. His lips opened in a silent scream as he fell from heaven – a silent plea for mercy that I never answered.

Sure, Jasper may no longer remember me, but who was I to decide whether or not his happiness should be ruined? Could I go and break his heart just for the sake of what I want? Can I do it? Can I ruin everything that he has? Am I ready for the repercussions that could come as a result of my actions? Am I ready to face the fact that even if he does remember again once I return his memories, he may still choose to continue his vampire life? He might not even want those memories back. Am I ready to face the reality that Jasper could be happy – truly happy with his vampire family, leaving me along on Earth, forever?

No, I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready to face the fact that my Jasper was happy without me. I didn't want to ruin his happiness and I couldn't break his heart for the sake of my own selfishness… and that right there... that is why I ran.

A/N: Awe, poor Bella. What do you think is going through Jasper's mind at this very moment? What do you think Bella's next move will be? Will she continue to pursue Jasper or will she take off and leave for good leaving Jasper with more questions than answers? Remember…the mating pull has been returned to the both of them!
