Chapter One: Tainted Love

BPOV

Forks was, quite possibly, the smallest town on the planet and I'd never believed it more than at

that moment.

Everyone was staring at me.

I mean, yeah, I was the beloved police chief's estranged daughter come home but really? This level of attention was unnerving and uncomfortable.

I hiked my backpack higher up on my shoulder and hurried to the cafeteria, mostly ignoring the endless chatter from the new friend I had apparently picked up. Jessica seemed nice enough but I could tell it was less about me and more about being around the newest thing at Forks High. We moved through the lunch line and I followed her to a table full of people I had seen staring at me throughout the day. I deflected the overeager questions directed at me and looked around desperately for an escape. The attention was stifling and I finally stood up abruptly and made some excuse about needing to get some things from my locker. I made my way hurriedly across the cafeteria and was almost through the doors and free when I ran directly into a wall.

Not a wall; it was a person.

A boy.

A boy who was barely being held back by two other boys as he growled and strained for me. His face was beautiful but terrifying as he strained for me, baring his teeth and growling like an animal. I could see his muscles straining, his body taught while the two restraining him pulled fiercely against him. Terror gripped my heart. If I went off his behavior alone, I would think he wanted to kill me.

I felt arms around my waist, leading me at nearly inhuman speed away as the growling grew louder behind us. I turned back and my eyes locked with the furious black eyes of the boy I'd bumped into as he was pulled out the doors towards the parking lot. I turned back around and began to register who was pulling me in the opposite direction. I looked up at the most gorgeous woman I'd ever seen in my life. She had shiny, long blonde hair that curled effortlessly past her shoulders. Her face was literal perfection and she was talking so quickly with a girl on my other side I wasn't sure how she even understood what she was saying. I looked at her companion. She was shorter than the perfect girl, about my height or smaller. She had raven hair styled perfectly in a trendy pixie cut and her face was also what could only be described as pixieish. She was also insanely beautiful but not in a supermodel way.

"What-" I began to ask but the pixie stopped me.

"I'm so sorry. We are being terribly rude. I'm Alice Cullen. This is my sister Rosalie Hale." I twisted away from their arms at my back and waist. It didn't escape my notice that they didn't back away but stayed closer than was strictly polite for being complete strangers. Alice seemed to be lost to her thoughts but Rosalie was staring at me with pity. The two looked nothing alike except for the almost deathly pale skin and amber eyes they shared. What an odd coloring.

"Do you want to explain what the hell is going on," I demanded. Rosalie's face soured and for a moment, I was tempted to run and hide from her.

"I'm sorry about our brother back there," Alice said. "Edward is having a really off day today. He shouldn't even have been at school today. I'm sorry he lost his temper. Are you okay?" I stared at her blankly. Her brother had to be dragged out of the school by two other guys after growling at me and giving me what was easily the world's fiercest death glare and all she could say was he was having an off day?!

"I'm fine. But maybe your brother should see someone about his obvious rage issues. Honestly, it's not okay for him to lose his temper like that just because I accidentally bumped into him."

"Maybe you should have been watching where you're going," Rosalie chimed in coldly.

Oh hell to the no.

"If your brother has that kind of reaction to such a simple mistake, I worry that he should even be allowed in public places. Maybe someone should mention it to the principal. I'd hate to think what could happen if there wasn't someone else there to drag him away." Her eyes narrowed at me but I remained unflustered. A smirk finally broke our staring contest.

"I like you," she said. "Most people are intimidated by us. But you aren't. And something tells me you don't put up with bullshit, either." I remained impassive.

"Not usually, no."

"Look, I'm really sorry about Edward. I promise we will take care of it," Alice interjected and I turned my gaze to her. Her shoulders were high and tight with tension.

"Does this happen a lot," I asked suspiciously. If there was a guy lashing out at the kids here, I would have to mention it to Charlie when he got home.

"Never. Edward is annoyingly boring," Rosalie drawled. "This was just a crazy, random event. We'll make sure he doesn't do anything like this again."

"Okay." We stared at each other, the silence growing as I waited for them to say something or leave but they just stood there. "I'm Bella Swan," I finally said.

"We know," Alice chirped, awfully chipper for someone whose brother just tried to kill me with a look. "It's so nice to meet you. What class do you have next?" The sound of students moving in the halls finally seemed to penetrate my brain.

"Biology," I said, looking around and realizing that they had dragged me to the library where it was relatively empty and quiet.

"Why don't I walk you," she offered with a cheerful grin.

"Um, okay, I guess." She fell in step beside me, linking her arm through mine. She began to chat idly with me about Forks. I wasn't sure what to make of it.

"Here it is," she finally said with unnecessary enthusiasm. "Here, put your number in my phone. I'll text you so you have mine. We can hang out or do homework later or something." I typed my number into her phone before handing it back to her. "Okay, well, we have to get to class. See you later, Bella!" I watched as they walked away, feeling confused and just a little hustled.

What had just happened?

"You must be Miss Swan," the biology teacher said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I'm afraid I only have one chair left in the room. You can sit at that table, there. Your lab partner will be Edward Cullen."

I stumbled to my seat and sat down, glancing warily at the seat next to me. It was empty and it remained that way the whole class and then for the days following until one day I showed up and there was Edward Cullen, sitting casually like the last time we had seen each other he hadn't been having an absolute meltdown.
