Chapter 4

She glared at me,

The love of my life hates me. I could feel my heartbreak as I stood there. 'You're better than this Isabella' I could almost hear my father's voice in my head.

"May I sit here?" I asked in a small voice"

"Whatever, just don't talk to me and stay away from Emmett" she sneered.

"A beautiful face like yours should smile not sneer"

"Are you deaf! I said don't talk to me!" Rosalie said in an icy tone.

I could almost feel the hate in every syllable. I sat down and faced forward to hide the tears that sprung up in my eyes. I sniffed a little and took a deep shuddering breath to stop myself from crying. I couldn't pay attention at all in that class. I almost wanted to call my father and tell him that I wanted to come home, I wanted nothing more than to cuddle in my father's arms and cry.

'I refuse to give up, not this easily. I refuse to let her ruin this experience for me. She's a vampire if she can feel the bond then she will eventually come running' at that moment I sat up straighter and took a deep breath.

'Confident. Demand respect. You are the only daughter of a Volturi king. Chin up, chest out. Bury the hurt and keep strong'.

I had made my decision as much as it hurt me not to be close to her I knew that I could do it. 'I'll make her fall in love with me' Just as I had that thought the bell rang, I got up out of my seat and strutted out of the class. I could feel her eyes on me and the pride swelled up inside of me. 'Now to fake it through the rest of the day.' It was not easy but I managed.

I dropped off my slips and map at the reception, walked out the front door and strutted to my car. I could see the vampire coven across the street staring at me. I opened the door to my car, tossed my bag inside, I turned back to the coven and waved to Emmett and Jasper. Emmett the goof he is waved like maniac and Jasper tipped his imaginary hat towards me. I got in and drove away listening to the rumble of the mustang, glad to have survived my first day at school.

Charlie wasn't back when I walked through the front door. 'Might as well start on dinner to occupy myself.' Charlie arrived just as I had finished setting the table.

"Good evening princess, how was your first of school?" Charlie asked

"it was pretty eventful, I met the Cullen's. Made friends with two of them"

"Their father is a surgeon here. They tend to keep to themselves but I have yet to receive any trouble from them. If I'm not mistaken the eldest, Edward, is telepathic" he said as he sat down to eat.

"That makes sense I saw him looking at me trying to figure something out but I've known that I'm a shield since I was young"

"He can only read surface though nothing like Master Aro".

I finished the food in contemplation glad he couldn't hear my thoughts 'he would know who I am and all the thoughts of Rosalie' just as my brain provided me with her name I felt my heart break all over again.

" Excuse me," I said near tears. I ran up to my room, locked the door and threw myself down on my bed and proceeded to cry myself to sleep 'homework will have to wait.'

I spent the next few weeks getting to know Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. Alice was pixie in every sense she loved to dress up and dance, she was easily excited. Between her and Emmett we got into a lot of mischief at school and on weekends in Port Angeles. Jasper was always there to keep us in check and from getting into too much trouble. I was very glad to have so many friends, even though Jessica hated me and Rosalie still refused to talk to me.
