"Bells!" my dad's voice from downstairs woke me, a half an hour before I should have been awake. That does not make me a happy camper.

"I'm heading to the station! There's some eggs for you down here, you should get up now or you know you're never going to get outta bed!"

My name is Isabella Marie Swan. But I go by Bella, or Bells; those who know me know that. I'm 17 years old and about to be a senior at Forks High. I live with my dad; police Chief Charlie Swan in Forks, Washington. It's a small town, and very rainy, but it's home, and I love it here. My mom –or rather, incubator- walked out on us when I was 6 months old, so it's always just been dad and me. When I was younger I resented her for leaving, but honestly, I think it was for the better. I love my father. He's never been anything short of the best father in the world.

My phone dinged with a new text, forcing me to actually open my eyes.

WAKEY WAKEY JELLY BELLY! -Emmett

I've known Emmett McCarty since I was born. Our friendship was inevitable since dad and the McCartys had been best friends since middle school and put us together all the time as kids. Emmett is huge; very muscular, but he is the biggest teddy bear you'll ever meet with his curly brown hair and big brown eyes. All throughout our early childhood, it was just Emmett and I. We were both only children, so Emmett took it upon himself to take up the title as my unofficial big brother, just as I was the baby sister he never had.

Rosalie and Jasper Hale moved to Forks from Texas when we were in the 4th grade. Rose and Jasper are twins with honey blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Rosalie is extremely beautiful and if I didn't know her, I'd swear she was a model. She has an awesome body that countless guys lust over, while I had just grown into my body over the summer. Jasper is tall, Maybe a foot taller than me with some muscles, but lean at the same time. He and I had always been really close in a way I didn't have with anyone else.

Then when we were in 6th grade, the Cullens moved here. Alice and Edward were both adopted. Their father, Carlisle was a doctor and their mother, Esme was an interior designer. Alice is very tiny, even shorter than me, and I'm pretty damn short, especially compared to my jolly giant of a 'big brother'. She has short, spiky black hair and looks a little like a pixie and she enjoys shopping, way too much for her own good. Edward has bronze hair and intense green eyes. He's muscular as well, an even balance between Jasper and Emmett and a few inches shorter than Jasper. He and I had dated for a few months during our junior year, but realized we were better as friends. We had no weirdness between us, which was good.

Edward started dating Rosalie a few months later and they were perfect together. Alice and Emmett had finally gotten together a few weeks after summer started. They were and interesting couple. Completely opposite in appearance, though twins when it came to personality. They were the energy balls of our group. No, Jasper and I are not dating. Though I have been in love with him since last December when he played Romeo in the school's show. I was the nurse. He doesn't know I love him, and I plan on keeping that way.

We're all active in the athletic aspect of our high school. Emmett and Edward play football, Edward plays soccer, and both Jasper and Edward are on the basketball team. Edward is soccer captain, Emmett is football captain, and Jasper is the basketball captain. Rose, Alice, and I are all cheerleaders, Rose is the captain. Alice and I are the flyers, since we're the tiniest. Alice is also part of the fashion club, Edward is into music, and Rosalie is the art department's pride and joy. Jasper and I have also done theatre all four years of high school. Emmett tried it last year and loved it. I know that sounds weird. Jocks and cheerleaders in drama, but we quickly got passed those judgments in freshman year when I got Cosette and Jasper was Gavroche in our production of Les Miserables. Luckily, Jasper was able to do both basketball and the play since the championship game was always exactly a week before auditions for the show.

I finally got my ass out of bed and grabbed my toiletries to get in the shower. The warm water both woke me up and relaxed my muscles as I washed my hair with my fruity-smelling shampoo. I hopped out after quickly rinsing off, toweled myself dry, and slipped on my bra and panties. I blow dried my hair; styling it so it fell in soft curls down my back. I pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans, a red sweater that hung slightly off of one shoulder, my black converses, and a bracelet and little black heart studs in my ears. I had noticed it was raining, and made a mental note to grab my white beanie on the way out. I'd look like a mime today, but fuck it, if I was gonna be a mime, I'd be a damn cute one. I did the smoky eye thing Rose had taught me with my make-up and put on some cherry chapstick. No blush was needed; I did that enough on my own.

I skipped downstairs and found that Charlie had left me a plate of eggs and a note wishing me a good first day back. The one good thing about mom leaving was that it motivated Charlie to learn how to cook, and he was actually quite good at it. I ate the eggs and was washing the plate when I heard a car honking outside. I grabbed my bag and house keys, positioned my white knit beanie perfectly on my head, and walked out the door to Rose's car. She had a red BMW convertible, which I thought was silly to have since the top was usually up because of the rain. Jasper was in the passenger seat, looking gorgeous as ever with his hair falling effortlessly over his stunning blue eyes and a smile gracing his face when he saw me walking out. I smiled back and climbed in the back of the car.

"Morning Bella." Rose said excitedly.

"Morning." I mumbled, still a little sleepy. Dammit, I knew I should have made myself coffee this morning.

"Morning Bells." Jasper chuckled at my lack of people skills in the morning. Rose gave me a look before turning back to the road and driving towards the school. She was the only one who knew about my feelings for Jasper and she was constantly telling me how he loved me too. But I was a wimp and didn't have the balls to actually tell Jasper my feelings, so until he said something, I would just pine after him pathetically.

"So Bells I have some good news." He said smiling.

"What?"

"The show this year is gonna be Moulin Rouge. I heard mom talking about it on the phone." Kendra Hale was our costume lady for the shows. I bounced in my seat excitedly. Moulin Rouge was my all time favorite musical, and it was Jasper's as well.

"Are you serious? Oh my god. I can't believe it's gonna be our senior show. Oh now I'm so excited." They both chuckled at my sudden energy.

We pulled into the parking lot and walked to homeroom to meet up with the others. Rose and Edward immediately latched on to each other and Alice was sitting in Emmett's lap while Jasper and I took our seats next to them. The bell rang and our homeroom teacher walked in and handed out schedules. We all had the same lunch, thank god. I had second period English with Rose, third period history with Jasper, Spanish with Alice, calculus with Jasper, biology with Edward, gym with Emmett and Rose and drama with Jasper and Emmett. I could already tell I would like this year.

Welcome to the new and improved chapter one of More Than Anyone. I hope everyone enjoys my rewrites, considering I realized I left a TON of important stuff out of the first version. For example, I paid NO attention to the fact that these guys are seniors and need to think about, oh I don't know, COLLEGE. So without further ado, I give you More Than Anyone 2.0
