A/N: Wow, can you believe it? Another update! I am on a roll with this story :-) For those of you who love my Perfume story, don't worry I'm not going to abandon it. It must might take a little while to come up with the next chapter by myself since I can't get in contact with my co-author for some reason :'-( I think the reason I'm not having trouble updating this story so quickly is because I've been thinking it up in my head for quite a while and I also think it's easier writing a story set in modern times than writing a "period" piece ya know? It's just a little harder trying to perfect a story in the Victorian era, because I don't want it to be sloppy. Anywho I hope you guys like this chapter, I finally bring you......Edward!

First Day of School
After I got my schedule and the slip for all my teachers to sign, I started my trek to first period class. After going through the whole morning of the same thing in each class: Teacher signing the slip, having to introduce myself to the class and tell them about me, everyone staring at me and being in awe at the fact I came all the way from Romania, me sitting down, and accompanied with more staring. I wasn't going to have any problem keeping up with the classes since Astrid taught me pretty much everything they taught in schools when she was home schooling me. Where she got all those books, I'll never know. She said not to worry about how or where she got them.
But anywho, right now I'm being followed to the cafeteria by this creepy boy named Mike Newton. He was kinda cute, spikey blonde hair and bright blue eyes, but not my type though. I think it will be quite a while before I even think about dating someone. Hell, I'm not sure if I'll even want to take the chance. I don't want to be with someone and for them to end up like Aiden. I won't let another guy be my fault.
After I paid for my oh-so-tasty looking pizza, Mike and this other girl Jessica invited me to sit with them at their table. Dragged to their table is more like it, but I figured I'd throw them a bone and sit with them. That's when they started shooting questions at me.
"So Vivian, how do you like Forks?" Mike asked me as he sat right next to me.
"It's ok. It's been a long time since I was here in the states." I replied.
"Where did you move here from again?" Jessica asked with curiosity.
"Bucharest, Romania." I replied to her.
"That's so cool! I've always wanted to go to Europe." exclaimed a girl wearing glasses who was sitting at the table with us.
"I'm Angela by the way." she told me.
"Nice to meet you." I smiled at her.
Then a couple more guys came to our table and introduced themselves to me, trying to be smooth...and failing miserably.
"Ooh so this must be the new girl. Hello, beautiful. Name's Yorkie. Eric Yorkie." he said as he tried to kiss my hand. I quickly pulled my hand away before he put his lips on it, and I couldn't help but start laughing at him.
"Oh my god, please don't tell me you just tried to pull a James Bond!" I chuckled at him. He blushed but smiled at me anyway.
"And my name's not 'new girl' or 'beautiful', thanks for the compliment though. My name's
Vivian. Learn it, live it, love it, Casanova." Everyone laughed at my new nickname for Eric.
"Well welcome to Forks, Vivian. I'm Tyler Crowley. And man, I gotta say, your car is freakin sweet!" Tyler said to me.
"It is pretty badass huh?" I replied. Hey what can I say? I love my car and I don't care who knows it!
"Oh yeah I saw it earlier. What kind of car is it?" Angela asked me.
"A '66 Chevy Chevelle SS." I replied.
Everyone was in awe of my car's sweetness. Man, I'm really going to have to listen to I'm in Love with My Car by Queen when I drive home. Before we could say anything else, the door opened and in walked four of the most beautiful and definitely pale people I have ever seen.
"Who's the Fab Four?" I asked them.
"Oh, the Cullens." Jessica replied. "They moved here a couple of years ago with their parents Doctor and Mrs. Cullen. And here's the weird part, they're all together." she told me, I can tell she is a girl who loves to gossip.
"They're not really related. They're adopted." Angela defended.
"It's still weird. The big guy, Emmett Cullen, is dating the blonde, Rosalie Hale. And the other blonde, Rosalie's twin brother Jasper who looks like he's in pain all the time, is dating the spikey-haired pixie girl, Alice Cullen. She's really weird"
Then the door opened again and in walked a guy so gorgeous that there's only one word to describe him...Daaamn.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"Ooh, that's Edward Cullen. Totally gorgeous, obviously." Jessica replied.
As Edward walked passed our table, it looked like he smiled after hearing Jessica's comment. I won't deny it, he was beautiful. Tall, from what I see he had good muscle tone, copper colored hair, I couldn't see what color his eyes were, and pale. Is everyone in that family pale? Don't get me wrong they look good pale, but seriously, say it with me, "sunlight".
"Don't bother with him though. He's not interested in any of the girls here. Not that I care." Jessica told me. I could tell that she did care; he must have rejected her in the past.
"Why? Does he have a girlfriend?" I asked.
"I don't think so. None that I know of anyway."
"What, is he gay?"
After I asked that, I could have sworn I saw Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice laugh at that exact moment. That seemed kinda weird, but whatever. It's none of my business. Everyone at our table definitely laughed though.
"I don't know. I never thought of that. I hope not." Jessica replied as she was still giggling.
I looked over at the Cullen and Hale's table and met with Edward's eyes. He just stared at me, and cocked his head to the side in curiosity. I kept on asking myself why I'm so attracted to him. I mean, I already had the love of my life and he was taken away from me. And here I was looking at some guy just because he's gorgeous. Well that's all I'll do, I'll just look and drool about him at home, then get on with my life. The last thing I need is to bring another boy into my dangerous life. My thoughts were interrupted by Mike.
"So Vivian, did it hurt?"
"Did what hurt? If you say 'when you fell from heaven' so help me Mike, I will give you the biggest purple nurple you will ever have in your life." Harsh? Maybe, but that boy needed to be put in his place.
"Ok, I won't ask that. But I also meant when you got that tattoo on your arm?" he pointed to the cross tattoo I have on my left arm.
"Oh. No it didn't hurt too bad. It kinda stung at first but you get used to it." after I replied, I showed them some of the tattoos I have. The one on my left arm, on my lower back, and both of my forearms.
"Wow, how many tattoos do you have?" Eric asked.
"I have six tats."
"Where did you go to get them?" Tyler asked.
"I got them done in a tattoo parlor in Bucharest."
"That's so cool!" Jessica exclaimed.
"So Vivian, do you have a boyfriend?" Mike asked me.
"I...I did." I replied sullenly. Stupid ass Mike just had to ask me that!
"What happened? Did you dump him? Did he dump you?" he asked. I just snapped I was so angry.
"No, no one was dumped. He's dead, if you're so desperate to know." at that, I got up, threw my food away, and stormed to the restroom.
As soon as I was in the restroom, I just started crying. I couldn't believe I just snapped like that. I know Mike didn't mean to sound so insensitive...he's just stupid. I just hated that he asked those questions; they were once again reminding me that Aiden was gone and he was never coming back. I have to be strong; I have to apologize to Mike. Damn it, I hope he doesn't try to hook up with me now that he knows that I'm single. I rinsed my face of the tears, making sure I looked presentable. I reapplied my eyeliner and lip gloss and went to my next class, Biology.
I entered the classroom, and everyone was staring at me again. Seriously, I'm a heartbeat away from saying something totally unexpected like "Hi my name's Vivian. And I'm an alcoholic, crack head, sex addict. Will you be my friend?" Oh that would be so much fun, but I don't think any of the teachers would like that, or they would actually believe me and send me to rehab. Anywho, all of the seats are taken except for one empty seat next to....Edward Cullen. Who was also staring at me.
As I walked to the teacher to have him sign my slip, I walked past a fan that was currently on and it blew through my hair. When I looked at Edward again, he looked seriously pissed off. It looked like he was holding his breath and was all tensed up. What the frenchtoast is he all pissy about? I was told to sit next to Edward, and as soon as I sat down, Edward scooted as far away from me as he possibly could and he just covered his nose and mouth like he smelled dog crap or something. I took a friggin shower this morning and washed myself with Japanese Cherry Blossom body wash and Aussie shampoo and conditioner, I know I don't smell bad!
So I looked away from him and tried to focus on the lesson being taught. Then I felt his eyes on me. I turned to look at him, and he's glaring daggers at me like I was the reason the Beatles broke up. What the hell?! I haven't even spoken to him yet, let alone introduce myself, and he's going all psycho Emo on me! Throughout the whole class period, he's just staring at me with his angry black eyes. Call me crazy but I actually welcome Mike's lost puppy look when he stares at me, anything's better than this asshole glaring at me like I'm some kind of freakin leper when I haven't even done or said anything to him.
As soon as the bell rang, Edward jumped out of his seat practically and rushed out the door. Mike walked over to me.
"Jeez Vivian, what did you do to Cullen? Stab him with a pencil?"
"No, but I probably should have for the way he was looking at me as if he was trying to set me on fire."
"Hey look, Vivian. I'm sorry about earlier. That was insensitive of me to ask those questions, and I'm sorry about your boyfriend."
"Mike, you didn't know. I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. It's just that it's very painful to think about it, and I'm not ready to try dating again just yet."
"It's no problem. Besides you have friends now, we all like you and we're here for you."
"Thanks Mike. I gotta go turn this slip in to the office and go home. I'll see you later."
And then I left to the office. I might have underestimated Mike. He was actually thoughtful and understanding. But if he tries to hit on me or stalk me, we're gonna have problems. When I entered the office, I saw Edward talking to Mrs. Cope.
"Can't you move me to any other class? AP biology? Bio-Chem? Earth Science? I'll take anything."
His voice was smooth, but that didn't distract me from the fact that he was trying to switch classes. To get away from me? That fucker!
"I'm sorry Edward, all classes are full. There's nothing I can do. You're going to have to stay in Biology."
I let the door close and it was like he could sense that I was there. He turned to look at me with the same "I'm angry and constipated" look on his face.
"Fine. I guess I'll have to endure it." and he stormed out of the office.
Now I was pissed! I can't believe that son of a bitch! He doesn't even know me. I gave Mrs. Cope the slip, and hurried out of the office in hopes of catching Edward and giving the emo prick a piece of my mind. But he was already gone. Damn it! He may be extremely beautiful, but after what I dealt with him today, I could care less how he looks. The next time I see him, I'm really gonna rip into him, not literally.
I drove home listening to Riot by Three Days Grace; I was in the mood for an angry song. Tomorrow is Tuesday; I'll be seeing him again. And when I do, I'll be ready for him. Bring it on Cullen!
