High School

High School hasn't changed in one hundred years or so and neither has Forks. The gloomy weather, rain all day, and the town under constant cover of clouds. This place allows any vamps who go to high school here to be almost normal.

Today my family and I will be starting at Forks High School. Although I only went there for a year or two, I know this place like the back of my hand. For the rest of my time at Forks I will be Maria. I picked Maria out of a magazine. She sorta looks like me but with blue eyes and blonde hair.

This morning I decided to put up my new hair in a tangled pony tail that made me look "sexy," quoting Scarlet. Then after I tried to get away with sweat pants Scarlet started to re-dress me. Now, I was wearing knee length, white shorts and a short sleeve, aqua blouse. I should probably get going unless I can sneak my sweats out in my bag and change at school? Hmmm…

"Not a chance Bella, I mean Maria! Now get down here! We are going to be late!" Scarlet hollered as I heard Jonas slam the front door shut. He probably already got yelled at while I was in the shower washing my hair with my strawberry shampoo.

"Okay, okay I'll be down there in a second."

We parked in front of the main office. The story was Scarlet and I were pretending to be sisters and Jonas was Scarlet's boyfriend. They were seniors and I was a sophomore.

I would have to make new human friends and try to stay away from boys who want to get in my pants. I would wish them luck. These shorts are sewn to me.

We all walked into the old office. It smelt like old cheese and raw eggs. They needed some air freshener in this room ASAP. I shut the door behind us and the black-haired woman looked up.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes, this is Scarlet, Jonas and I am Maria." I saw the immediate awareness in her eyes.

"Oh, yes. The transfers," she murmured. She dug through a pile of papers till she found the ones she was looking for. She was nothing like Miss Cope. The woman's name tag read Miss Dots. She seemed dazed and was staring out the window with the papers still in her manicured hands.

"Miss Dots?" I questioned, trying to get her attention.

"I have the schedules and the maps right here. Here you go." She brought several sheets to the counter to show us. Within a few moments we all had the papers memorized but, we took the sheets with us to look more normal, as in HUMAN.

As we drove back to the school parking lot other students were starting to arrive. They all stared at our mysterious car. I could tell why. Our car was long, sleek and the windows were so darkly tinted that you couldn't even tell if anyone was driving. This car was off the hook as I once heard a young man say. Man, am I starting to sound like an old person or what?

I just recently found out we were driving an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.

Scarlet and Jonas were out of the car in a flash. I pulled up my hood and got out of the car. People's eyes burned wholes in the back of my jacket. I just had to make it to building number four and I was home free. I hope my….

Bam!

"Sorry," I said to the young boy who was now on the ground. He looked up at me. He reminded me a lot of Mike. He had sky blue eyes and spiked brown hair. I wish I could have offered my hand but it was too cold. My hand would have repulsed him.

He stood up.

"No prob-lem.." he stuttered. He stared at me with a blank look on his face.

"Are you new here I don't think we have ever met? I am……." He looked like he had forgotten his name but I am sure he'll remember it when he stops staring at ME! Then right on cue the boy looked up and finally finished his sentence, "Devon, Devon Nowhoy by the way. What's your name?"

"I just transferred here. I am Maria. Nice to meet you Devon!" I called hile I walking away too fast for him to start flirting again.

I had Biology first.

What a joy this would be.

Mr. Roy took my slip and handed to me my book with the materials I would be studying once again. Of course he had no choice but to assign me my old seat in the middle of the room. Although I hated to be reminded of my past with Edward, when I sat down I was curious to see if our initials were still there. They were.

EC+BS=3

I didn't look up after I set my book down on the table I was too afraid to see the bewildered looks on people's faces. This class was ridiculously long for someone who was immortal. I tapped my finger on the desk more than 3600 times and the bell still hadn't rung. The wood was starting to chip away on the desk where I'd been tapping.

RING RING

As soon as I was on my feet, Devon was beside me. I couldn't concentrate on his chatter as we made our way to the cafeteria. I sat with him.

"Maria, do you want to sit with me?" I blinked once and stared into his sky blue eyes, and his breath caught. In my most alluring voice I answered "Devon, can my sister and her boyfriend sit with us too?" I winked, and he just nodded.

I DAZZELED HIM!!!

It was so fun to play with human's emotions like that. Now I know how Jasper feels.

His friends were all very nice except for two scuttlebutts. They were exactly like Jessica Stanly and Lauren Mallory. They were gossipers. I tried to be nice and stiffed a growl once in a while but, over all sitting at that table felt like home to me.

The day went by slowly after that. I met this girl name Kim in my Spanish class she was really nice and she smelled delicious compared to the other humans. I held my breath for most of the class and only used it if I needed to answer a question. Every breath I took burned my throat. It burned like hell. Throughout the class I was deciding If I could befriend this mortal but, I decided even know she was the nicest girl I've met here she shouldn't die because I got hungry. That would be terrible thing.

Six Months Later….

High School was really boring. It was the time of day I wish I could sleep. I stared at the cracks in the wall of my Spanish class. My teacher was going on about the Spanish Influenza so I decided I wouldn't listen for safety reasons. I was very touchy about that subject because of various reasons, one of the most important ones being Edward. I can just imagine the teachers going on about this horrible event and then mention something that reminded me of him. I would probably snap the table in half and have to kill every mortal in the class room. I know Jonas would just love tree hugger Bella to go all Dracula on everyone.

After school that day I decided to hang out with Jacob Black. Yes, I mean him the guy I use to hang out with when I was human over one hundred years ago.

We met a couple weeks ago grocery store. I was shopping because the fridge was getting low on fruits and vegetables. Heaven forbid an immortals fridge shall be empty but, Jonas said they were getting old so he threw them out.

FLASHBACK

"Maria can you go get the groceries today?" I knew I had no other choice but to say yes. She would get her way one way or another.

"Sure," I huffed as she threw me the keys to the car.

Although vampires didn't need to eat, we like to keep food in the fridge just in case we have company. I drove to the Loblaws closet to my old house. I walked in and went straight for the fruit and vegetables even through I couldn't eat them I still liked the smell. I was making my way to counter when I saw man that looked like Jacob Black.

No, it was Jacob Black I was sure. But how?

It had been one hundred years since I died he surely should be dead by now too. He met my gaze. I quickly bought the food and left as fast as I could. Although, I wanted to leave I waited for him. I was Maria right now but if I confronted him as Bella he would have to answer right? Well, it's worth a shoot. I morphed into Bella Swan. I knew it was dangerous to be her when I was this close to home but I had to.

He came out of the store and started to walk I followed him with my car. Then after ten miles he turned around and stopped. Then I stopped.

"Why are you following me?" he questioned obviously aware of the person following him. Duh, he was never oblivious to his surroundings he always knew where I was when I tried to surprise him. I remember one time the week before I went for the walk in the forest. It was Valentine's Day and a tried to sneak up and tried to kiss him on his cheek but he turned around and ended up kissing me on the lips. I decided that was his present.

It was now or never I'd better get this over with. I parked the car near the trail where he now sat. Deep breath. I stepped out and faced him.

"Bella?"

"Jacob?" An uncontrollable grin spread out across my face. I was so happy to see him it's been too long.

"I've … missed you Jake." I grinned and hugged him. He laughed and hugged me back.

"Bella is that really you?"

"The one and only."

"Didn't you die?"

"That's what they tell me."

"So how?

"I could ask you the same question."

"I can't exactly tell you what I am or why."

"Neither can I,"

"So, guess than I'll give you clues and you give me clues. I think I already have an idea by the way you smell though."

"Really?"

"Bells, you smell horrible like you have been sitting in a candy factory for weeks. It is too sweet. Bella you're not going to like what I've become. We are enemies." All the stories he told me on the beach were true. We were immortal enemies. He was a

"A werewolf?"

"A vampire?" he took a step back. I could guess what he was thinking.

"Jacob Black do you think I am going to suck your blood?" He nodded, he was afraid. I rolled my eyes and then answered, "Jacob I only drink animal blood. Get it? Just to let you know you smell like you've been sitting a sewer for weeks on end so I wouldn't even think of you as my next non vegetarian meal."

"Ya, okay. Just check' in."

END FLASHBACK

He lived this long because he was a werewolf. He was a vampire's immortal enemy but we didn't let that get in the way.

I few months past and we told each other everything. Maria did not exist near Jacob it was just Bella. I told him about my powers and everything there is to know about being a vampire. He told me about the werewolf pack, imprinting, and the voices in his head and anything else he could remember at that moment.

He also told me he was moving to British Columbia. He had to move because of some "werewolf emergency." I said good bye and told him I would come visit him. In a few weeks he left. I was sad again. Life was more boring without him. I missed his sarcastic remarks and his smile.

I was starting all over again. Why did I have to get so attached?

Hey, thanks for reading my story. If you review this story I'll keep writing the next chapter okay? I need at least 10 more reviews so don't let me down. Even if you review it once you can review it one hundred times for all I care.
