Chapter 2

Stupid alarm

'Maybe I'll get to see her face one day, but for now, I have to get ready for school'. I was walking down the stairs when I smelt the amazing scent of bacon 'I love bacon'.

"Good morning Charlie"

"Morning Princess, how did you sleep?"

"Pretty well but I had a weird dream"

"I'm sure it's nothing"

" Yeah, let's eat"

"Your car is outside it was delivered this morning, I believe your father chose it for you"

"Really?" I exclaimed, "He truly loves to spoil me".

After breakfast, I packed up and grabbed the keys Charlie had left on the counter. 'bet it's a Ford, father knows I love me a Mustang'. Just as I expected outside was the 1969 Ford mustang in crimson with black racing stripes. 'I love my father, especially when he spoils me' I got in and started up the car and sat back for a minute just enjoying the roar of the engine and the smell of the new leather interior. I revved it a bit before pulling out of the driveway and started heading to the school.

It wasn't difficult finding the place because most of the town is on one road. As I parked I noted that all the cars seemed old except for two a silver Volvo SUV and a green jeep wrangler. 'Odd' I thought as I walked out of my car. I noticed that the entire student body was staring at me. 'Hmm must have been a while since they got a new kid here' but I couldn't see the owners of the two cars that had caught my attention. I went inside got my schedule and I noticed all my classes were AP classes. 'I had had tutors for most of my life' I thought in passing. I was so focused on the map I didn't notice the boy that approached me, the moment he touched me years of self-defence training kicked in and I threw him onto the floor. 'Oops'

" I'm so sorry I just reacted, are you ok?" I asked hurriedly

"Mmhhhm I was hoping for at least one date before you put me on my back "

I helped him up from the floor while continuing to apologize

"It's cool, I'm Eric by the way. I wanted to ask if I could walk you to your class?"

"Yeah sure, I would like that" I replied sheepishly.

He walked me to my first class, math, I thanked him and he was on his merry way. I walked into the class and the first thing I saw was that everyone was staring.

"Ah Miss Swan I'm glad you made it to class, I'm Mr Brandon, please take a seat next to Mr Cullen" he pointed to a guy on the right side of the class 'He's huge but like a cuddly teddy bear. A cuddly vampire teddy bear reminds me of Felix' I thought to myself as I walked towards him

"Hi I'm Emmett, "he said with a goofy grin on his face.

"I'm Bella" I replied 'his smile is really infectious, like an adorable version of the common cold.

"So, Belly bear, do you mind if I call you that?"

"No I don't, only if I can call you Emmy-bear?"

"Answer this. Do. You. Like…pranks?" he asked with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, I do Emmy-bear" I replied just as serious. We both burst out laughing

"Mr Cullen and Miss Swan, do you mind sharing the joke with the rest of the class?"

"No sir," we both replied thoroughly chastised by Mr Brandon. We spend the rest of the class getting to know each other while pretending to pay attention in class.

"Belly-bear let me walk you to your next class," He asked as we packed up

"You could always carry me it's much easier."

"Belly-bear you're crazy you know that?"

"Maybe but I'm awesome as well." Up till lunch, I had yet to run into another vampire and I know vege vamps tend to come in bundles. 'I'm having serious vampire withdrawal, why did father think this was such a good idea.' I sat down with a few human friends I had made throughout the day including Eric.

"Hey Bella how are you enjoying Forks so far," asked a greasy-haired kid whose name I didn't know

"I could really do without the cold" I replied while rolling my eyes. The next few minutes included being hit on by the boys and being glared at by Jessica because she wanted their attention.

Suddenly the whole cafeteria goes quiet. I notice them looking behind me. I turn to see a group of vampires walk through the door and Emmett was one of them, he was walking with a goddess; a statuesque blond with soft skin and she looked as though she had just walked out of a movie. 'Dear lord she is gorgeous' a small pixie dressed in leggings and a large black a green shirt 'The spiky hair makes her look mischievous' she was walking with a dirty blond guy dressed in a cardigan and chinos. 'The strained look on his face tells me he is struggling with this stupid vege diet, but who am I to judge'. Lastly was a bronze haired boy that looked as though he was in a middle of a temper tantrum and didn't get his way. 'His hair is in desperate need of a brush, I bet he thinks it's sexy' I thought to myself.

"I see the Cullen's and Hales caught your attention, forget it the don't socialize with us mere commoners" sneered Jessica

"That's weird Emmett and I had a math together and he was nice to me" I deadpanned to Jessica's comment.

She continued like she didn't hear me, while the rest of the table snickered.

"The guy that looks like he's on steroids is Emmett, The blond bombshell is Rosalie Hale, she's a bitch. The small Pixie is Alice and the guy that looks like he's in pain is Jasper Hale, Rosalie's twin brother. Last but certainly not least is Edward, but forget it he thinks he's above dating anyone here" When she said Rosalie the same I turned to look at her and she was looking directly at me. When we locked eyes, I felt the world around me melt away, in that moment she was the only person that mattered. 'Is this what a mating bond feels like, I wish Uncle Marcus was here to tell me'.
