A/N: Well I still don't own Twilight, or Robert Pattinson for that matter. Darn. Anyway, I know its rated T and I know it's not inappropriate for young ages right now. But there will be violence. I tend to write violent when I am angry/upset/sad and most of the time it turns out good. So I am just kind of 'winging it' on this story. Anyway, because I am winging it, feel free to make any suggestions for upcoming events in the story.

Chapter 2 First Day of High School

Humans don't like it when I walk fast, drive fast, breathe fast, or even think fast for that matter. Humans are slow, careful, much too cautious creatures. But then again, with vampires around I would be to. They don't like people who are better then them, prettier, fancier, or richer. With humans, its money this, looks that, and who you are there. But with vampires, it's love, compassion, family, and most of all, secrecy. I don't mean being a loner, or living in a cave, I mean keeping yourself concealed from humans. It's always about secrecy, you can never really have human friends, which means no friends at all (unless you count family that is).

I snapped out of my daydream when I heard a loud Honk! I must have been pushing the pedal down a little too far. A girl in a rusty, old, orange pick-up drove along slowly behind me. I grinned as I left the big, slow, car in the dust.

For some reason she kept entering my head throughout the rest of the drive to school, her out-dated orange truck, old blue sweat shirt, and long brown hair. But what stayed with me most was how real she looked; ever since we moved back everyone looked so fake. Bronzer, eye shadow, spray tans, expensive clothes, but most of all was the fact that every one was tan, in a town with no sun. She looked pale in comparison, sick even, but the truth of it was, she was the healthy one.

I pulled into the parking lot of Forks High School, half hoping to see the orange truck pull up behind me. But no such luck. I waited until the bell rang, and then walked to class. I walked in late, but lucky for me so did the teacher. I suffered through the school day and was walking out of my last class when I heard a horrible screech from outside. I didn't think the humans had heard, it was faint, but I could hear. I walked as fast as I dared with humans around. I heard the screech again. It was the girl in the orange truck screaming, crying, and hitting the steering wheel with her hands while a boy sat in the seat next to het, saying something. I could hear him…

"Bella… You know I love you, she was just a girl, you are everything to me, I need you Bella!"
"Jake, don't make this harder then it needs to be, I know it's going to happen again…"
"Bells…"

"Jacob Black, get out of my car now!" This time I could hear the anger, the hurt in her voice but most of all the fear, the fear…

I felt the need to comfort her, to go over and kick that jerk out of her car, and hold her in my warm, caring arms. But I didn't have warm, caring arms, I was cold, and soulless. I watched as Jacob Black exited her car, he looked shaken, but he left her there… I watched as she quickly tried to start the engine. But as luck would have it, her car didn't start. Time to intervene Edward, I told myself.

So I walked to her car, more scared then I had ever been, and the only time I had ever been scared as a vampire. She saw me fast approaching and wrestled with her keys, frustration setting in. I knocked on her window and she reached across the console, cranking down the window.

"What?" she said as her voice shook, trying to hide the sadness in her soft voice.

"Do you want me to give you a rid home? I saw you having trouble with your car." She nodded as I finished my sentence. I quickly went to the other side of the car and motioned for her to follow me. She hopped in the passenger seat of my Volvo and sat there, tears rolling down her cheeks.

That's when the smell hit me; it was the most powerful thing I had ever experienced. It drilled into my entire existence and made it hard think. She smelled sweet, like flowers and cookies kind of. She smelled perfect. I could smell her precious blood pulsing through her veins, tempting me with every beat of her fragile heart. Only then did I realize I was practically checking her out as she sat uncomfortably in my car.

"Hey, I'm Edward, you must be the new girl Bella right?" I said as she sat uncomfortably, looking at me. She nodded gingerly.

"My house is by hospital, second house on the left." I nodded as she said it and took off. I saw the fear creep into her eyes as she realized she was driving with the boy she honked at, and probably flipped off this morning. I felt the grin creep back onto my face and looked over just in time to see a blush flash across her face.

We pulled up in front of her house and she reached for the door handle, "Bella," I said stopping her move, "would you like to come over tomorrow, we can do homework?" I finished my sentence, silently praying she would say no. A blush attacked her face ans she nodded.

"That would be nice. Thanks for the ride Edward." She smiled when she said my name. Maybe I did have a shot at this whole love thin after all.

A/N: So, what did you think? R & R baby! Thanks!
