CHAPTER 1

"Anthony--------Anthony. Hun, it's time for school" My mom called from the kitchen. I got up from my bed and walked over to my closet. I pulled out an old faded pair of jeans and a Linkin park shirt. I walked over to my bathroom and spiked my hair, put on my cologne, and brushed my teeth. I looked at myself clearly in the mirror and tried to picture what I would look like as a full vampire.

"ANTONHY MASON CULLEN. YOU BETTER GET DOWN HERE OR ELSE YOU WONT HAVE A RIDE TO SCHOOL" Crap. It was my dad. He sounded really angry and I didn't want him to get even more mad. I raced back into my room, grabbed my backpack, and ran down to the kitchen where my mom was making my breakfast and my dad was watching her. It was hard to believe that they were only 18. Well mom was. Dad's 17, so he's only a year older than me. Well in the human sense. He's really over 100 years old.

"Do you think I have time to eat" I said as I sat down at the table. My mom gave me my breakfast and she just smiled. She was really beautiful.

"You better hurry. You have 2 min---" my dad stopped when I started putting my empty plate in the dishwasher. I may be half vampire but I still have super speed, strength, and I can see in the dark.

"Ok. Time to go" I said grabbing my dad's keys from the key rack and racing out to the garage. Before they could even get out I had already gotten into my dad's new BMW and had started the car.

"I don't think so kiddo" he said making me get in the back. He and my mom sat in the front. They would talk about things that happened back when they lived in Washington but I wasn't really paying attention. We lived in Cumbria, England now. Right on the Derwent River.

"We're here hun. Have fun in your classes today" Mom said with a smile. She always had that smile on her face. It was like she never had a bad day in her life.

"Ok mom" I said returning her smile. Dad pulled into a parking spot and then we all got out. Mom and Dad are Senior's and I'm a Junior. Uncle Jasper's a senior too. We lived with all of them too. There's Aunt Alice, Aunt Rosalie, Uncle Emmet, Uncle Jasper, Grandpa Carlisle and Grandma Esme.

"See you later kiddo" Dad said as he playfully ruffled my hair. We were supposed to be brothers since he was too young to be a father.

"By bro" I said as I went over to join some of my friends.

"Dude, your sisters hell of hot. When are you going to hook me up with her" my friend Jake said. I looked over at my mom who was talking to my dad and shivered.

"Uh, she's got a boyfriend right now" I said turning away from her. It was to gross to think one of my friends had a crush on my mom.

"Ok. Whatever" he said and then we all walked to our classes. I had AP English first with Mr. Lawson and I absolutely hated that class.


The day went by slowly and my class right before lunch just seemed to just drag on. Mr. Peters talked forever. I was relieved when he got a phone call from the office.

"Mr. Cullen. I would like you to go pick up a new student from the office" he said handing me a hall pass. I eagerly took it and walked out of the class.

I took my time getting to the office. The longer I was out of that class the better. When I finally reached the front door to the office I took a long moment to open the door. When I walked in I noticed a girl standing at the administrators desk. Her back was turned to me so I couldn't see her face. I walked over to her and Mrs. Anders told her I was going to escort her to her class. The girl turned around and I was stopped in awe.

She had beautiful deep blue eyes, blonde hair, tan skin, and she was just a little shorter than me. She looked like Christina Aguilera from 1999. (for a pic look in my profile). She thanked the administrator and then we walked to Mr. Lawson's.

"My name's Anna" she said before we walked into the class.

"I'm Anthony" I said in return. Neither of us moved for the door. We both just stared at eachother.

"Do you mind if I hang out with you. I'm kind of new here and don't really have any friends yet" I knew she would make friends soon with the way she looked. Suddenly a girl walked by and she stopped when she saw Anna and me talking.

"Um, excuse me. Who are you" she said to Anna in a smug tone. Oh boy. It's one of my "fan club" members.

"My name's Anna. I'm new here" Anna said with a slight smile.

"Well I'll let you in on a little secret. You can't just go around and talk to the most popular boy in school. Marie's already got dibs on him, so if I were you I'd back off" she then looked at me, smiled, and then walked away.

"You didn't tell me you were the most popular guy here" Anna said looking suprised.

"You didn't ask" I said with a smile. She smiled too which made my heart jump.

"Who's Marie" she asked before I got my hand on the doorhandle.

"She's this chick who's totally obsessed with me. She even started a fan club for me. It's hell of creepy to know that girls from this school actually joined" she started to laugh which made my heart start to race. I felt a little dizzy when she walked past me. I could smell her blood and it smelled so delicious.

"Thank you for joining us again Mr. Cullen" Mr. Lawson said when we entered the classroom. She took the empty seat next to me and we talked the whole class. I found out that she was from Florida and that she only lived with her mom.

The bell rang for lunch and she walked with me to the cafeteria. I looked for my parents and found them sitting at a table near the back. We walked over to them and sat down.

"Who's this" Mom asked.

"Her name's Anna. Anna this is my mo----sister, Bella"

"Nice to meet you Anna"

"You too" I introduced her to dad and uncle Jasper too. She fit right in with them. She had them all laughing within a couple minutes. When lunch was over I showed her where her next class was and then I went to mine. The rest of the day I couldn't stop thinking about Anna.
