I do not own "A walk to Remember" and "Twilight". Stephanie Meyer and Nicholas Sparks do.
Each day when I walked into school I felt like the new girl. But I wasn't, I had been going to Parkdale College my entire life, about 11 years. Walking down the corridors of the school making my way to my locker I could feel several people staring at me. I could consciously tell they were talking about me behind my back; I tried to block them out. I am pretty good at blocking people out, as I have been doing it for ages. As you can tell I'm not one of the most popular people at school.
"Nice cardigan."
I turned around. It was Victoria, the school's popular queen, standing with her several friends. Victoria was tall blonde and beautiful. She was a cheerleader and liked to make everyone's life a living hell, everyone that she didn't like. She along with Jessica, Rachel, James, Edward and Peter were all in the group that everybody desperately wanted to join. I looked at my green cardigan, the one that I have owned since grade 5.
"Thank you." I smiled politely.
All her friends began to laugh including Edward, Edward Cullen. He was a tall boy with golden brown hair and with pale skin. He was going out with Victoria but practically the whole school was drooling over him. You could even say some of the teacher's thought he was good looking. Edward however had a bad reputation. He was constantly called into the principal's office and is well known at the police station. He was leaning against his locker with a black leather jacket and jeans on. I looked at him and walked away. Ever since grade 3, I have had a crush on Edward, except her barely knew I existed. Any way, I guess that was a good thing, as my father would never have allowed it. Dad has always warned me about boys like Edward.
I continued walking down the corridor and managed to get to my locker. I typed my combination into my lock. 30…5…0, and grabbed my books for my next class. I had geography and a spare. I went to the classroom and sat in the back row so I would be unnoticed by all my peers. I sat there waiting for the bell, as I did every morning. I could here the loud chatter from the corridors.
People were talking about their weekend and what they had gotten up to. I could hear boys telling their friends who they hooked up with and girls telling their friends what they bought when they went shopping. When the bell rang, the classroom slowly filled with people still chatting away. I tried to not look at them so I wouldn't get any attention. I have always hated being the center of attention. I've always liked staying in the background. "Good morning class." No one had noticed our teacher walking in. Geography was always loud as no one took it seriously and thought of it as a bludge subject. Our teacher, Mrs Morris, was an old stout lady who didn't mind the noise. She had given up shouting over us after the first day of school as she said it was no use and that the class would never be silent. She came around handing us our geography assignment, which we did a couple weeks ago. "Good work Bella. You seem to be doing very well in geography. You should seriously consider taking it up for your final exams."
I could here snickers from the other students around me.
"Yea, Bella," they answered sarcastically.
I took the paper away from her and saw a large A+. I always felt good when I received assignments back.
The rest of the class passed by quickly. I busily took notes the teacher was writing on the board unlike other students who were busy on their phones.
When the bell rang indicating class had finished I quickly got my things and left, not wanting to spend any more time with the others. I quickly went to the library, where I spent all my spares.
"Hello Bella."
"Hi Mrs Lock."
The librarians knew me well as I was often in here."
"How was your weekend?"
"It was ok. How was yours?"
"Not bad."
After a nice chat with Mrs Lock I went to sit at an empty table and started doing my homework. I loved the library. It was always so quiet and peaceful. When the bell rang I went back to my locker to get some food.

I was waiting outside for a while after school. I was watching Edward go into his red battered car. He looked so, so handsome. What was I saying? I couldn't possibly think that. No, he wasn't handsome.
"What are you looking at Swan?"
I turned around. It was Jessica, one of Victoria's 'followers' as I liked to call them.
"Nothing."
"Whatever."
She walked away towards her car.
I never understood how she could follow Victoria it was like she was her dog. She never thought for herself independently and only did whatever Victoria did.
I walked towards my large green truck. It wasn't anything flash or nice looking but it did the job. It was able to drive me places and that was all I needed.
I got in and put a CD on. I listened to "Oh Happy Day." It was one of my favourite songs and always cheered me up.
I got home in about 10 minutes. My house wasn't that big, it was one story and was made of wood. It was cosy and that was all that mattered. I lived with my dad who is the reverend of Forks.
I walked inside collecting the mail on the way in.
"Hi dad." I yelled as I entered.
"Hey Bella, I'm just heading of to the church, I will be back around dinner time."
"Okay."
It was always like this with my dad, he was always at church which left me always at home alone. I didn't mind though, I liked having the house to myself. I grabbed something from the cupboard to eat and went upstairs to my room to start on my homework.
I hope you liked this chapter. I promise that the story will get better in the next chapter. This chapter just tells you about Bella but more will happen in the next chapter and hopefully it will be longer and better. Please review it and tell me what you think. I really appreciate your reviews. If you have any ideas please tell me because your thoughts are very helpful
