Without another thought I straightened my back and sent death glares to anyone who was looking at us, most of them turned away and the ones that didn't seemed like the slut group of high school. What a surprise. The lads noticed and came to stand by me Gav had his arm over my shoulder and pulled me to turn around, the lads were smirking.

"Been here not even five minutes and she already looks like she wants to kill the bitch brigade." Gavla loved this turn of events and decided to fill me in.

"Lauren, Jessica, Keri-Anne, Jodie and Kirby. Other wise known as school sluts." Before I could comment Bobz cut in.

"They've tried to hit on all of us at least three times and since we've turned every last one of them down they ended up hating us, although we would much rather that than have them sidling up to us and breathing down our necks." Ant shivered and I couldn't help laugh, I loved that they told me all the information but stopped laughing when I heard the clip-clopping of heels behind me. I turned around with a scowl on my face; I never liked girls that thought wearing high heels to school made you cool and more adult, pfft whatever, more like wannabe's. It was the girls from the 'bitch brigade'. Now they were closer I got the opportunity to properly look at them. The first was a light haired, almost blonde, brunette girl, with a scowl on her face. She was wearing a low, low cut top which showed more cleavage than should be legal and a mini skirt that looked as though the second she bends over her pants were going to show –if she was wearing them –then she had on some stupid ass blue stilettos. The other was another blonde with makeup plastered all over her face, she had a kind face but it was ruined with the look she was throwing us, her clothes weren't as bad as the others but not much better. She had a low cut top but not stupidly so, some skinny jeans and ballet flats. Then a red haired, older looking girl with a tank top which was a low cut, a short skirt –not as short as the blonde-brunette haired girl though –and some black stilettos, along with glasses, although they didn't make her look like a geek, I hated to say it but they actually suited her. There were another two girl there one of which looked plain bored, she had dark brown hair and was wearing a reasonable length skirt, ruined by the fish net tights, then a black tank top, without a low cut. The last one seemed like she hated everything and everyone, but in particular the leader, and from looking at her I could see why, she was the type that didn't do well with being second best, she wanted to be on top and you could see it in her hate filled eyes. With blonde hair, a red skirt, white low cut blouse and white strap stilettos she looked just as slaggy as the rest, only whereas the rest of them were bitches she was pure evil, what fun.

"So, who are you then, the new reject? Oh I get it they needed a girl to join in the gang bang." Safe to say I wasn't having it.

"Shut the fuck up Tramp. I don't care who you are or about your fake ass popularity. I'm here now which means you can get your fat ass thouroughly kicked since the guys refuse to hit girls, but trust me, I can and will now leave my friends and me alone before I beat your ass." Bobz cut in then

"You ain't our friend anymore Jess which means the Stoke crew ain't your back up" Jess lifted her hand in a fist and moved it forward to punch him. I moved in before anyone had a chance to think. I grabbed Jess' hand and shoved it behind her back, pinning her to the car behind us.

"What the fuck do you think you're playing at? I take it you don't like being told what to do. Well listen to this. Ever bother me or my friends again and you'll have me on your back. Now get out of my sight." I shoved her out of the way and she shot daggers at me looking to her friends for help they just looked on in awe and was that fear? Then they walked off with her. A girl who had been watching walked over to me.

"You shouldn't have done that you know, she's going to try and make your life a living hell, I'm Kiera by the way.

"I'm Vixen and I honestly don't care; I can take Jess and her pathetic crew down easily." She smiled back and shrugged before walking back to her car. The guys and I walked over to the reception so I could get my new schedule. The others had theirs mailed to them. Walking in, the reception lady glowered at the boys before turning her attention to me.

"Name?" She sounded bored and kept throwing glares at the lads who were failing to hide their smirks.

"Swan." She shuffled through some paperwork before pulling a few pieces of paper out.

"Isabella?" I nodded once and she handed it over.

"If I was you, I wouldn't hang around those boys, there bad news." I smiled sweetly at her.

"Yeah? Well so am I." She looked gobsmacked as we walked out and we headed to home room. During the day I found out that the blonde girl with makeup plastered over her was Keri-Anne, the red haired girl was Jodie and the girl with black hair was Lauren. The day passed slowly and finally it was lunch.

I had gotten the first flight to Seattle I could and ran quickly to Forks, it took me the full two days and I finally stood outside Bella's house. I sniffed the air but her scent was weak, like she hadn't been there for a while. Charlie's car was in the driveway which surprised me normally he'd be at work by now. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I heard his footsteps coming sluggishly to answer the door and his eyes were sad when he opened the door, until he realized it was me and then his eyes started to blaze with anger. But he controlled it and spoke out of gritted teeth.

"What do you want?"

"I came to see Bella." My voice sounded small, even to me.

"What after leaving her with nothing. No letter. No phone call. Nothing." He was getting more enraged the more we spoke.

"I'm sorry but sir I still love your daughter, my family had to move for Carlisle's job." I knew using this excuse was stupid but I couldn't tell him the real reason.

"Then why do you want to see her? To break her again and then just leave. Even if I would let you see her, which I wouldn't, she's not here, she moved in with her mother and I'm not telling you where so just get out of my face before I shoot you." The door slammed in my face and my hopes of finding and helping Bella shattered. My phone rang and I picked it up hoping to have something else to think about.

Edward you dumb ass. She's in England, Coventry to be exact and lives in Stoke. I can't believe you went looking for her without talking to us first. You know we love Bella. Not only that but if you'd had half a mind to answer your phone when I called, you would have already seen Bella. You were in Birmingham, only a few miles away for goodness sake and were so busy with getting back to see her you completely missed her scent. Now get your ass to England before she ends up getting herself killed. We're not going to be long behind you. Before I had a chance to say anything she'd hung up. I can't believe she was only miles away from me. The self loathing kept bubbling to the surface and I quickly ran back to Seattle airport. I walked over to the ticket booth and spoke to the teenage boy standing there.

"I need a ticket to Birmingham airport." The kid finished typing and looked up at me.

"I'm sorry but no flights are going out until noon Wednesday," Wednesday? That was two days away.

"Are you sure there's nothing that can be done to get an earlier flight?" The boy shook his head and I booked a ticket and walked off before I did something I'd regret like smashing the computer he was typing on into bits. I stormed into the forest and took my irritation out on the trees surrounding me until a small clearing was made and then I just sat there staring at nothing. Replaying memories of my Bella. I could run but it would take me a week like it had to get me here, ugh if only I had answered my phone.
