Chapter 2

Last night, after I had cried for several hours Jake had stayed the night and we had talked only about our feelings, how he felt when his mother died and how I felt when mine did. Jake was a great friend, he just knew when you needed to laugh or cry, and he knew how to make it happen, by the time we had both fallen asleep on my bed I could feel myself coming back from the black hole I had buried myself in after the accident.

This morning I had gotten up early and cooked us all breakfast, I could feel myself getting better, I knew it would always hurt but I had started to move on with my life, So I had decided to go to school once I'd found out from Charlie that he had already enrolled me at Forks High. I put on my mask and got dressed for the day in fashion, I wore my skin tight Black skinny jeans, a deep red ruffle blouse, black studded boot heels and leather jacket, I'd curled my dark mahogany hair and even put on some mascara and eyeliner.

I walked out into the kitchen with my usual swagger and attitude before saying goodbye to Charlie, Billy and Jake, sending my thanks his way, before borrowing Jakes bike he brought down for me in his truck to get to school.

As I made my way to the administrations office I heard peoples whispers

"Who is she?"

"Is that Isabella Swan?" and

"Damn, She is HOT" So I flashed them a smirk as I walked by.

As I stepped into the small warm office a perky middle-aged woman who gave me my timetable and books greeted me, commenting that the whole town had been waiting for me to arrive and that she was sorry for what had happened to my mother, my smile faltered at that before I forced it back in place, thanked her and went on my way.

I made my way to biology fairly easily where I sat down in the only empty seat at a desk beside a gorgeous bronze haired guy, 'hmmm...' I contemplated as I looked at him; a smirk over took my face as I took out my books, feeling his stare before turning to him,

"Hey, I'm Bella, Who are you?" I asked sticking my hand out to shake,

"Edward Cullen" he replied shaking my hand "A pleasure to meet you."

My eyes widened as his rock hard, icy hand closed around mine and I recognised the distinct sent of vampire, and then I saw his eyes, they weren't red! They were a pretty golden butterscotch colour! I knew he wouldn't be able to tell what I was so I brought my acting skill out to play and decided to hunt him down at lunch,

"Well I'm sure it is", I said confidently before turning to the front of the class as the teacher began to talk.

As soon as the bell rang Edward was out of the classroom, I hurriedly packed my books away and walked out of the room casually looking around to search for him, when I couldn't see him anywhere I took a deep breath in through my nose and followed his sent, I found him sitting on the opposite side of the cafeteria with four others at the furthers table, I slowly made my way over their pretending to walk to the other exit before making a b-line for their table and pulling out a chair. I quickly sat down a smirked at them before linking my arm with Edwards in a show of confidence,

"So Eddie boy, Wanna introduce me to the family?" I smiled sweetly, he looked angry, uncomfortable and startled be my sudden appearance before he answered,

"Rosalie and Emmett" he said pointing to a drop dead Gorgeous Blonde with a killer glare on her face and a huge bear-like man with dark hair and bulging muscles,

"Ya'know, you'd look even more beautiful if you didn't look so unhappy" I commented, She just glared even more and this time Eddie joined in before he pointed to the last two "Alice and Jasper" he ground out through his teeth,

Again they were both beautiful, but that's what you expect when dealing with vampires, the male had blonde hair that reached almost to his chin and he was covered in scars, I felt my eyes widen a little and a slight shiver ran through me at the sight, before I turned to the small pixie-like one, as I met her eyes I gasped, it was like someone had electrocuted me as gravity shifted, she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, I knew in that second that I would do anything for and be anything for her, I would die before I let anything hurt her and my heart swelled with the love I felt for her, I felt so-… wait. WTF! Did I just IMPRINT on Alice fucking Cullen?! A Vampire! I shook my head as I realised I had been staring at her not saying anything for a while now.

"Okay. Lets get to it, you're vampires, Why the fuck are your eyes GOLD?" I snapped, they all stared at me with unreadable expressions, before Eddie boy finally decided to answer just as the bell went and he snapped his mouth shut,

"I'll be at your house straight after school" I murmured knowing they would hear before strutting off to Jakes bike to go home because I had a free period and no-one would notice if I was gone anyway.
